Dear Sirs: 
 
Mattel, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), confirms its agreement with each of you with
respect to the issue and sale from time to time by the Company of up to $350,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in one or more foreign currencies or composite currencies) aggregate initial public offering price of its Series C Medium-Term Notes due
more than nine months from date of issue (the “Notes”). The Notes will be issued under an Indenture, dated as of February 15, 1996 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and Chase Trust Company of California (formerly Chemical
Trust Company of California), as Trustee (the “Trustee”), and will have the maturities, interest rates, redemption provisions, if any, and other terms as set forth in supplements to the Basic Prospectus referred to below. 
 
The Company hereby appoints Morgan Stanley & Co.
Incorporated (“Morgan Stanley”) and Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation (“Credit Suisse First Boston”) (individually, an “Agent” and collectively, the “Agents”) as its exclusive agents, subject to Section
12, for the purpose of soliciting and receiving offers to purchase Notes from the Company by others and, on the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Agent agrees
to use reasonable efforts to solicit and receive offers to purchase Notes upon terms acceptable to the Company at such times and in such amounts as the Company shall from time to time specify. In addition, any Agent may also purchase Notes as
principal pursuant to the terms of a terms agreement relating to such sale (a “Terms Agreement”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(b) hereof.

The Company has filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-38625) for the registration of the Notes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the
offering thereof from time to time in accordance with Rule 415 of the Rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act. Such registration statement (and any further registration statements which may be filed by the
Company for the purpose of registering additional Notes and in connection with which this Agreement is included or incorporated by reference as an exhibit), including all documents incorporated therein by reference, as from time to time amended or
supplemented by the filing of documents pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Securities Act or otherwise, are referred to herein as the “Registration Statement.” The Company
proposes to file with the Commission from time to time, pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, supplements to the prospectus included in the Registration Statement that will describe certain terms of the Notes. The prospectus in the form in
which it appears in the Registration Statement is hereinafter referred to as the “Basic Prospectus.” The term “Prospectus” means the Basic Prospectus together with the prospectus supplement or supplements (each a “Prospectus
Supplement”) specifically relating to Notes, as filed with, or transmitted for filing to, the Commission pursuant to Rule 424. As used herein, the terms “Basic Prospectus” and “Prospectus” shall include in each case the
documents, if any, incorporated by reference therein. If the Company elects to rely on Rule 434 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act, all references to the Prospectus shall be deemed to include, without limitation, the form of prospectus and
the term sheet, taken together, provided to the Agents by the Company in reliance on such Rule 434 (the “Rule 434 Prospectus”). Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this Agreement to documents, financial statements and
schedules and other information which is “contained,” “included,” “stated,” “described in,” or “referred to” in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include all
such documents, financial statements and schedules and other information which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be; and all references in this Agreement to
“amendments” or “supplements” to the Registration Statement or Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act after the date of this Agreement which is or is deemed to be
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be. If the Company files a registration statement to register a portion of the Notes and relies on Rule 462(b) promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act for
such registration statement to become effective upon filing with the Commission (the “Rule 462 Registration Statement”), then any reference to “Registration Statement” herein shall be deemed to be to both the registration
statement referred to above (No. 333-38625) and the Rule 462 Registration Statement, as each such registration statement may be amended pursuant to the Securities Act. 
 
1.    Representations and Warranties.    The Company represents and
warrants to and agrees with each Agent as of the Commencement Date (as defined below), as of each time the Company accepts an offer to purchase Notes (including any purchase by an Agent pursuant to a Terms Agreement), as of each time the Company
issues and delivers Notes and as of each time the Registration Statement or the Basic Prospectus is amended or supplemented, as follows (it being understood that such representations, warranties and agreements shall be deemed to relate

(b)    (i) Each document, if any,
filed or to be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference in the Prospectus complied or will comply when so filed in all material respects with the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder, (ii) each part of the Registration Statement, when such part became effective, did not contain, and each such part, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (iii) the Registration Statement and the Prospectus comply, and, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will comply in all material respects

statements or omissions in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus based upon information relating to an Agent furnished to the Company in writing by such Agent expressly for use therein or (B) to that part of the Registration Statement that

(iv) above, when made as of the Commencement Date or as of any time on which the Company accepts an offer to purchase Notes, shall be deemed not to cover information concerning an offering of particular Notes to the extent such information will be
set forth in a supplement to the Basic Prospectus. 
 
(c)    The financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries set forth in the Registration Statement and Prospectus fairly present the financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the dates

the Prospectus and is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership or 
 

3 

leasing of property requires such qualification, except to the extent that the failure to be so

singly or in the aggregate, to be so duly incorporated or validly existing or to have such corporate power and authority, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or on the business of the Company
and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. Each subsidiary of the Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership or leasing of property requires such
qualification, except to the extent that the failure of any such subsidiary, singly or in the aggregate, to be so qualified or be in good standing would not have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or on
the business of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. 
 
(f)    Each of this Agreement and any applicable Written Terms Agreement (as hereinafter defined) has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company. 
 
(g)    The Indenture has been duly
qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and is a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms except as (i) the enforceability thereof may be

to the benefits of the Indenture and will be a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms except as (i) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally and (ii) rights of acceleration and the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability. 
 
(i)    The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement, the Notes, the
Indenture and any applicable Written Terms Agreement, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, the Notes, the Indenture and any 
 

4 

applicable Terms Agreement will not contravene any provision of applicable law or the certificate of
incorporation or by-laws of the Company or any agreement or other instrument binding upon the Company or any of its subsidiaries that is material to the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or any judgment, order or decree of any
governmental body, agency or court having jurisdiction over the Company or any subsidiary, and no consent, approval, authorization or order of, or qualification with, any governmental body or agency is required for the performance by the Company of
its obligations under this Agreement, the Notes, the Indenture and any applicable Terms Agreement, except such as may be required by the securities or Blue Sky laws of the various states in connection with the offer and sale of the Notes.

 
(j)    There has not
occurred any material adverse change, or any development involving a prospective material adverse change, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business or operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
from that set forth in the Prospectus. 
 
(k)    There are no legal or governmental proceedings pending or threatened to the Company to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or to which any of the properties of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries is subject that are required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus and are not so described or any statutes, regulations, contracts or other documents that are required to be described in the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus or to be filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits to the Registration Statement that are not described or filed or incorporated as required. 
 
(l)    The Company and its subsidiaries own or possess the patents, patent rights,
licenses, inventions, copyrights, know-how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures), trademarks, service marks and trade names (collectively, the
“Intellectual Property”) employed by them in connection with the business operated by them, except to the extent that the failure to own or possess the Intellectual Property would not have a material adverse effect on the Company and its
subsidiaries taken as a whole, and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received any notice of infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any of the foregoing which, singly or in the aggregate, if the
subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would result in any material adverse change, or any notice of any other development with respect to the foregoing involving a prospective material adverse change, in the condition, financial or
otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, except as may be described in writing to, and accepted for exclusion by, the Agents. 
 
(m)    The Company is not an
“investment company” or an entity “controlled” by an “investment company,” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
 

5 

 
(n)    The Company and its subsidiaries are (i) in compliance with any and all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of human health and safety, the
environment or hazardous or toxic sub stances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants (“Environmental Laws”), (ii) have received all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their
respective businesses, and (iii) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval, except where such noncompliance with Environmental Laws, failure to receive required permits, licenses or other approvals or
failure to comply with the terms and conditions of such permits, licenses or approvals would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 
 
(o)    In the ordinary course of
its business, the Company conducts a periodic review of the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated costs and
liabilities (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating activities
and any potential liabilities to third parties). On the basis of such review, the Company has reasonably concluded that such associated costs and liabilities would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company and
its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 
 
(p)    Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has, directly or indirectly, paid or delivered any fee, commission or other sum of money or item or property, however characterized, to any finder, agent,
government official or other party, in the United States or any other country, which is in any manner related to the business, assets or operations of Company or any of its subsidiaries, which is, or may be with the passage of time or discovery,
illegal under any federal, state or local laws of the United States (including without limitation the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices’ Act) or any other country having jurisdiction; and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has
participated, directly or indirectly, in any boycotts or other similar practices affecting any of its actual or potential customers. 
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties set forth in Section 1(b)(iii) and (iv), (h) (except as to due authorization of
the Notes) and (i), when made as of the Commencement Date, with respect to any Notes the payments of principal or interest on which will be determined by reference to one or more currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity indices or other
factors, shall be deemed not to address the application of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, or the rules, regulations or interpretations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

2.    Solicitations as Agent; Purchases as Principal 
 
(a)  Solicitations as Agent.    In connection with an Agent’s actions as agent hereunder,
such Agent agrees to use reasonable efforts to solicit offers to purchase Notes upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented. 
 
The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to instruct the Agents to suspend at any time,
for any period of time or permanently, the solicitation of offers to purchase Notes. As soon as practicable, but in any event not later than one business day in New York, after receipt of notice from the Company, the Agents will suspend
solicitations of offers to purchase Notes from the Company until such time as the Company has advised the Agents that such solicitation may be resumed. While such solicitation is suspended, the Company shall not be required to deliver any
certificates, opinions or letters in accordance with Sections 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c); provided, however, that if the Registration Statement or Prospectus is amended or supplemented during the period of suspension (other than by an
amendment or supplement providing solely for a change in the interest rates, redemption provisions, amortization schedules or maturities offered on the Notes or for a change the Agents deem to be immaterial), no Agent shall be required to resume
soliciting offers to purchase Notes until the Company has delivered such certificates, opinions and letters as such Agent may request. 
 
The Company agrees to pay to each Agent, as consideration for the sale of each Note resulting from a solicitation made or an offer
to purchase received by such Agent, a commission in the form of a discount from the purchase price of such Note equal to the percentage set forth below of the purchase price of such Note:

Each Agent shall communicate to the Company, orally or in writing, each offer to purchase Notes received by such Agent as agent that in its judgment should be considered by the Company. The Company shall have the sole right to accept
offers to purchase Notes and may reject any offer in whole or in part. Each Agent shall have the right to reject any offer to purchase Notes that it considers to be unacceptable, and any 
 

7 

 
such rejection shall not
be deemed a breach of its agreements contained herein. The procedural details relating to the issue and delivery of Notes sold by the Agents as agents and the payment therefor shall be as set forth in the Administrative Procedures (as hereinafter
defined). 
 
(b)  Purchases as
Principal.    Each sale of Notes to an Agent as principal shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In connection with each such sale, the Company will enter into a Terms Agreement that will provide for
the sale of such Notes to and the purchase thereof by such Agent. Each Terms Agreement will take the form of either (i) a written agreement between such Agent and the Company, which may be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (a
“Written Terms Agreement”), or (ii) an oral agreement between such Agent and the Company confirmed in writing by such Agent to the Company. 
 
An Agent’s commitment to purchase Notes pursuant to a Terms Agreement shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the
representations and warranties of the Company herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth. Each Terms Agreement shall specify the principal amount of Notes to be purchased by such Agent pursuant thereto, the
maturity date of such Notes, the price to be paid to the Company for such Notes, the interest rate and interest rate formula, if any, applicable to such Notes and any other terms of such Notes. Each such Terms Agreement may also specify any
requirements for officers’ certificates, opinions of counsel and letters from the independent public accountants of the Company pursuant to Section 4 hereof. A Terms Agreement may also specify certain provisions relating to the reoffering of
such Notes by such Agent. 
 
Each Terms
Agreement shall specify the time and place of delivery of and payment for such Notes. Unless otherwise specified in a Terms Agreement, the procedural details relating to the issue and delivery of Notes purchased by an Agent as principal and the
payment therefor shall be as set forth in the Administrative Procedures. Each date of delivery of and payment for Notes to be purchased by an Agent pursuant to a Terms Agreement is referred to herein as a “Settlement Date.” 
 
Unless otherwise specified in a Terms Agreement, if you
are purchasing Notes as principal you may resell such Notes to other dealers. Any such sales may be at a discount, which shall not exceed the amount set forth in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such Notes. 
 
(c)  Administrative
Procedures.    The Agents and the Company agree to perform the respective duties and obligations specifically provided to be performed in the Medium-Term Notes Administrative Procedures (attached hereto as Exhibit B) (the
“Administrative Procedures”), as amended from time to time. The Administrative Procedures may be amended only by written agreement of the Company and the Agents. 
 

8 

 
(d)  Delivery.    The documents required to be delivered by Section 4 of this Agreement as a condition precedent to each Agent’s obligation to begin soliciting offers to purchase Notes as an
agent of the Company shall be delivered at the Los Angeles office of O’Melveny & Myers LLP, counsel for the Agents, not later than 1 p.m., Los Angeles time, on the date hereof, or at such other time and/or place as the Agents and the
Company may agree upon in writing, but in no event later than the day prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which the Agents begin soliciting offers to purchase Notes and (ii) the first date on which the Company accepts any offer by an Agent to
purchase Notes pursuant to a Terms Agreement. The date of delivery of such documents is referred to herein as the “Commencement Date.” 
 
(e)  Obligations Several.    The Company acknowledges that the obligations of the Agents under
this Agreement are several and not joint. 
 

9 

 
3.    Agreements.    The Company agrees with each Agent that: 
 
(a)  Prior to the termination of the offering of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement or any Terms Agreement, the Company
will not file any Prospectus Supplement relating to the Notes or any amendment to the Registration Statement unless the Company has previously furnished to the Agents copies thereof for their review and will not file any such proposed supplement or
amendment to which the Agents reasonably object; provided, however, that (i) the foregoing requirement shall not apply to any of the Company’s periodic filings with the Commission required to be filed pursuant to Section 13(a),
13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or pursuant to Item 5 (including related exhibits filed pursuant to Item 7) of Form 8-K, copies of which filings the Company will cause to be delivered to the Agents promptly after being transmitted for filing
with the Commission and (ii) any Prospectus Supplement that merely sets forth the terms or a description of particular Notes shall only be reviewed and approved by the Agent or Agents offering such Notes. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the
Company will promptly cause each Prospectus Supplement to be filed with or transmitted for filing to the Commission in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act. The Company will promptly advise the Agents (i) of the filing of any
amendment or supplement to the Basic Prospectus (except that notice of the filing of an amendment or supplement to the Basic Prospectus that merely sets forth the terms or a description of particular Notes shall only be given to the Agent or Agents
offering such Notes), (ii) of the filing and effectiveness of any amendment to the Registration Statement, (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Basic Prospectus
or for any additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose, and (v) of the receipt by
the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Notes for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the
issuance of any such stop order or notice of suspension of qualification and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof. If the Basic Prospectus is amended or supplemented as a result of the filing under the Exchange Act of any
document incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, no Agent shall be obligated to solicit offers to purchase Notes so long as it is not reasonably satisfied with such document. 
 
(b)  If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Notes is required to be delivered
under the Securities Act, any event occurs or condition exists as a result of which the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, would include an untrue statement of a material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if, in the opinion of the Agents or in the opinion of the Company, it is necessary at any
time to amend or supplement the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, to comply with 
 

10 

 
applicable law, the
Company will immediately notify the Agents by telephone (with confirmation in writing) to suspend solicitation of offers to purchase Notes and, if so notified by the Company, the Agents shall forthwith suspend such solicitation and cease using the
Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented. If the Company shall decide to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, it shall so advise the Agents promptly by telephone (with confirmation in
writing) and, at its expense, shall prepare and cause to be filed promptly with the Commission an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, satisfactory in all respects to the Agents, that
will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance and will supply such amended or supplemented Prospectus to the Agents in such quantities as they may reasonably request. If any documents, certificates, opinions and letters furnished
to the Agents pursuant to paragraph (f) below and Sections 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) in connection with the preparation and filing of such amendment or supplement are satisfactory in all respects to the Agents, upon the filing with the Commission of such
amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or upon the effectiveness of an amendment to the Registration Statement the Agents will resume the solicitation of offers to purchase Notes hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section
3(b), until the distribution of any Notes an Agent may own as principal has been completed if any event described above in this paragraph (b) occurs, the Company will, at its own expense, forthwith prepare and cause to be filed promptly with the
Commission an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, satisfactory in all respects to such Agent, will supply such amended or supplemented Prospectus to such Agent in such quantities as
it may reasonably request and shall furnish to such Agent pursuant to paragraph (f) below and Sections 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) such documents, certificates, opinions and letters as it may request in connection with the preparation and filing of such
amendment or supplement. 
 
(c)  The Company will make generally available to its security holders and to the Agents as soon as practicable earning statements that satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder covering twelve-month periods beginning, in each case, not later than the first day of the Company’s fiscal quarter next following the “effective date” (as defined in Rule 158 under the
Securities Act) of the Registration Statement with respect to each sale of Notes. If such fiscal quarter is the last fiscal quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, such earning statement shall be made available not later than 90 days after the
close of the period covered thereby and in all other cases shall be made available not later than 45 days after the close of the period covered thereby. 
 
(d)  The Company will furnish to each Agent, without charge, a signed copy of the Registration Statement, including
exhibits and all amendments thereto, and as many copies of the Prospectus, any documents incorporated by reference therein and any supplements and amendments thereto as such Agent may reasonably request. 
 

11 

 
(e)  The Company will endeavor to qualify the Notes for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Agents shall reasonably request and to maintain such qualifications for as long as
the Agents shall reasonably request. 
 
(f)  The Company shall furnish to the Agents such relevant documents and certificates of officers of the Company relating to the business, operations and affairs of the Company, the Registration Statement, the Basic
Prospectus, any amendments or supplements thereto, the Indenture, the Notes, this Agreement, the Administrative Procedures, any Terms Agreement and the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder or thereunder as the Agents may from time
to time reasonably request. 
 
(g)  The Company shall notify the Agents promptly in writing of any downgrading, or of its receipt of any notice of any intended or potential downgrading or of any review for possible change that does not indicate the
direction of the possible change, in the rating accorded any of the Company’s securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities Act.

 
(h)  The Company will, whether
or not any sale of Notes is consummated, pay all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and any Terms Agreement, including: (i) the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and all
amendments and supplements thereto, (ii) the preparation, issuance and delivery of the Notes, (iii) the fees and disbursements of the Company’s counsel and accountants and of the Trustee and its counsel, (iv) the qualification of the Notes
under securities or Blue Sky laws in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(e), including filing fees and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Agents in connection therewith and in connection with the preparation of any Blue Sky or
Legal Investment Memoranda, (v) the printing and delivery to the Agents in quantities as hereinabove stated of copies of the Registration Statement and all amendments thereto and of the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, (vi) the
printing and delivery to the Agents of copies of any Blue Sky or Legal Investment Memoranda, (vii) any fees charged by rating agencies for the rating of the Notes, (viii) the fees and expenses, if any, incurred with respect to any filing with the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., (ix) the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Agents incurred in connection with the offering and sale of the Notes, including any opinions to be rendered by such counsel hereunder, and (x) any
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents; provided that any advertising expenses (including tombstones) incurred by the Agents shall have been approved by the Company. 
 
(i)  Between the date of any Terms Agreement and the Settlement Date with respect to such
Terms Agreement, the Company will not, without such Agent’s prior consent, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities of the Company substantially similar to such Notes (other than (i) the Notes that are to be
sold 
 

12 

 
pursuant to such Terms
Agreement, (ii) Notes previously agreed to be sold by the Company, and (iii) commercial paper and short-term bank loans issued in the ordinary course of business), except as may otherwise be provided in such Terms Agreement. 
 
4.    Conditions of the Obligations of the
Agents.    Each Agent’s obligation to solicit offers to purchase Notes as agent of the Company, each Agent’s obligation to purchase Notes pursuant to any Terms Agreement and the obligation of any other purchaser to
purchase Notes will be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company herein, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company’s officers made in each certificate furnished pursuant to the provisions
hereof and to the performance and observance by the Company of all covenants and agreements herein contained on its part to be performed and observed (in the case of an Agent’s obligation to solicit offers to purchase Notes, at the time of such
solicitation, and, in the case of an Agent’s or any other purchaser’s obligation to purchase Notes, at the time the Company accepts the offer to purchase such Notes and at the time of issuance and delivery) and (in each case) to the
following additional conditions precedent when and as specified: 
 
(a)  Prior to such solicitation or purchase, as the case may be: 
 
(i)  there shall not have occurred any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in the condition,
financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business or operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, from that set forth in the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented at the time of such solicitation or at the time such offer to
purchase was made, that, in the judgment of the relevant Agent, is material and adverse and that makes it, in the judgment of such Agent, impracticable to market the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Prospectus, as so amended
or supplemented; 
 
(ii)  there
shall not have occurred any (A) suspension or material limitation of trading generally on or by, as the case may be, the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., the Chicago Board
Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade, (B) suspension of trading of any securities of the Company on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (C) declaration of a general moratorium on commercial
banking activities in New York by either Federal or New York State authorities, or (D) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in the judgment of the relevant Agent, is material
and adverse and, in the case of any of the events described in clauses (ii)(A) through (D), such event, singly or together with any other such event, makes it, in the judgment of such Agent, impracticable to market the Notes on the terms and in the
manner contemplated by the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented at the time of such solicitation or at the time such offer to purchase was made; and 
 

13 

 
(iii)    there shall not have occurred any downgrading, nor shall any notice have been given of any intended or potential downgrading or of any review for a possible change that does not indicate the direction of
the possible change, in the rating accorded any of the Company’s securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities Act; 
 
(A)    except, in each case
described in paragraph (i), (ii) or (iii) above, as disclosed to the relevant Agent in writing by the Company prior to such solicitation or, in the case of a purchase of Notes, as disclosed to the relevant Agent before the offer to purchase such
Notes was made, or (B) unless in each case described in (ii) above, the relevant event shall have occurred and been known to the relevant Agent before such solicitation or, in the case of a purchase of Notes, before the offer to purchase such Notes
was made. 
 
(b)    On
the Commencement Date and, if called for by any Terms Agreement, on the corresponding Settlement Date, the relevant Agents shall have received a certificate, dated the Commencement Date or such Settlement Date, as the case may be, signed by an
executive officer of the Company to the effect set forth in subparagraph (a)(iii) above and to the effect that the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein are true and correct as of such date and that the Company has complied
with all of the agreements and satisfied all of the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied on or before such date. 
 
The officer signing and delivering such certificate may rely upon the best of his knowledge as to proceedings threatened.

 
(c)    On the
Commencement Date and, if called for by any Terms Agreement, on the corresponding Settlement Date, the relevant Agents shall have received: 
 
(i)    The opinion, dated as of such date, of Irell & Manella LLP, counsel for the Company to the effect
that: 
 
(A)    the
Company has been duly incorporated, is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, has the corporate power and authority to own its property and to conduct its business as described in
the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, and is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in the State of California; 
 
(B)    each of this Agreement and any applicable Written Terms Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Company; 
 

14 

 
(C)    the Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and is a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable in
accordance with its terms except as (i) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) rights of acceleration and the availability of equitable remedies may be
limited by equitable principles of general applicability; 
 
(D)    the Notes have been duly authorized and, when the final terms of a particular Note and its issuance and sale have been established in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and when the
Notes have been executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the purchasers thereof on the date of such opinion, will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and will be valid
and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms except as (i) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii)
rights of acceleration and the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability; 
 
(E)    the execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement, the Notes, the Indenture and any applicable
Written Terms Agreement, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, the Notes, the Indenture and any applicable Terms Agreement will not contravene any provision of applicable law or the certificate of incorporation
or by-laws of the Company or, to the best of such counsel’s knowledge, any agreement or other instrument binding upon the Company or any of its subsidiaries that is material to the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or, to the best
of such counsel’s knowledge, any judgment, order or decree of any governmental body, agency or court having jurisdiction over the Company or any subsidiary, and no consent, approval, authorization or order of, or qualification with, any
governmental body or agency is required for the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, the Notes, the Indenture and any applicable Terms Agreement, except such as may be required by the securities or Blue Sky laws of the
various states in connection with the offer and sale of the Notes; 
 
(F)    to the best of such counsel’s knowledge, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received any notice of infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to
any Intellectual Property employed by them in connection with the business operated by the Company or its subsidiaries which, singly or in 
 

15 

the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would result in any
material adverse change, or notice of any other development with respect to the foregoing involving a prospective material adverse change, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the
Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, except as may be disclosed in writing by the Company to, and accepted for exclusion by, the Agents; 
 
(G)    the statements (1) in the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, under the captions
“Description of Notes,” “Description of Debt Securities” and “United States Income Tax Consequences to Holders” and (2) in the Registration Statement under Item 15, in each case insofar as such statements constitute
summaries of the legal matters, documents or proceedings referred to therein, fairly present, in all material respects, the information called for with respect to such legal matters, documents and proceedings and fairly summarize, in all material
respects, the matters referred to therein; 
 
(H)    to the best of such counsel’s knowledge, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending or threatened to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or to which any of the
properties of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject or any developments in such proceedings that are required to be described or incorporated therein by reference, in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as then amended or
supplemented, and are not so described or incorporated therein by reference, or of any statutes, regulations, contracts or other documents that are required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as then amended or
supplemented, or to be filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits to such Registration Statement that are not so described or filed or incorporated as required; 
 
(I)    the Company is not an “investment company” or an entity
“controlled” by an “investment company,” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; 
 
(J)    the Registration Statement has become effective under the Act; the Prospectus, as then amended or
supplemented, has been filed as required hereunder; and to the best knowledge of such counsel no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or
threatened by the Commission; 
 
(K)    such counsel (1) is of the opinion that each document, if any, filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as then 
 

16 

amended or supplemented (except for financial statements and schedules included therein as to which
such counsel need not express any opinion), complied when so filed as to form in all material respects with the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and (2) is of the opinion that the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented (except for financial statements and schedules included therein as to which such counsel need not express any opinion), comply as to form in all material respects with the Securities Act,
the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and the Trust Indenture Act; and 
 
(L)    no facts have come to the attention of such counsel that would lead such counsel to believe that (1)
(except for financial statements and schedules as to which such counsel need not express any belief and except for that part of the Registration Statement that constitutes the Form T-1 heretofore referred to) each part of the Registration Statement,
as then amended, if applicable, when such part became effective contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and (2)
(except for financial statements and schedules as to which such counsel need not express any belief) the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if applicable, as of the date such opinion is delivered contains any untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that in the case of an opinion delivered on the Commencement Date
or pursuant to Section 5(c), the belief set forth in clause (2) above shall be deemed not to cover information concerning an offering of particular Notes to the extent such information will be set forth in a supplement to the Basic Prospectus.

 
(ii)    The opinion,
dated as of such date, of the general counsel or the assistant general counsel of the Company, to the effect that: 
 
(A)    the Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which
the conduct of its business or its ownership or leasing of property requires such qualification, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not have a material adverse effect on the Company and its
subsidiaries taken as a whole; 
 
(B)    based upon opinions, oral or written, of foreign counsel, or of certificates of governmental officials, each of the subsidiaries of the Company meeting the definition of “Significant Subsidiary”
under Regulation S-X of the Commission has been duly 
 

17 

incorporated, is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation, has the corporate power and authority to own its property and to conduct its business as described in the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, and is duly qualified to transact business and is in good
standing in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership or leasing of property requires such qualification, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not have a material adverse
effect on such subsidiary; 
 
(C)    the execution and delivery by the Company of, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under, this Agreement, any applicable Written Terms Agreement, the Notes and the Indenture will not
contravene any agreement or other instrument binding upon the Company or any of its subsidiaries that is material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or any judgment, order or decree of any
governmental body, agency or court having jurisdiction over the Company or any subsidiary, and no consent, approval, authorization or order of or qualification with any governmental body or agency is required for the performance by the Company of
its obligations under this Agreement, any applicable Terms Agreement, the Notes and the Indenture, except such as may be required by the securities or Blue Sky laws of the various states in connection with the offer and sale of the Notes;

 
(D)    the Company
and its subsidiaries own or possess the Intellectual Property employed by them in connection with the business operated by them, except to the extent that the failure to own or possess the Intellectual Property would not have a material adverse
effect on the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received any notice of infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any of the foregoing which, singly
or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would result in any material adverse change, or notice of any other development with respect to the foregoing involving a prospective material adverse change, in the
condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, except as may be disclosed in writing by the Company to, and accepted for exclusion by, the Agents;

 
(E)    there are no
legal or governmental proceedings pending or threatened to the Company to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or to which any of the properties of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject or any development in such
proceedings 
 

18 

that are required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as then amended
or supplemented, and are not so described, or of any statutes, regulations, contracts or other documents that are required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, or to be filed or
incorporated by reference as exhibits to such Registration Statement that are not so described or filed or incorporated as required; 
 
(F)    such counsel (1) is of the opinion that each document, if any, filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented (except for financial statements and schedules as to which such counsel need not express any opinion) complied when so filed as to form in
all material respects with the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and (2) is of the opinion that the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented (except for financial
statements and schedules included therein as to which such counsel need not express any opinion), comply as to form in all material respects with the Securities Act, the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and the Trust Indenture Act;
and 
 
(G)    no facts
have come to the attention of such counsel that would lead such counsel to believe that (1) (except for financial statements and schedules as to which such counsel need not express any belief and except for that part of the Registration Statement
that constitutes the Form T-1 heretofore referred to) each part of the Registration Statement, as then amended, if applicable, when such part became effective did not and, as of the date such opinion is delivered, does not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and (2) (except for financial statements and schedules as to which such counsel need not express
any belief) the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if applicable, as of the date such opinion is delivered contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that in the case of an opinion delivered on the Commencement Date or pursuant to Section 5(b), the belief set forth in clause (2) above shall be
deemed not to cover information concerning an offering of particular Notes to the extent such information will be set forth in a supplement to the Basic Prospectus. 
 
(iii)    The opinion, dated as of such date, of O’Melveny & Myers LLP,
counsel for the Agents, covering the matters in subparagraphs (B), (C), (D) 
 

19 

and (G) (but only with respect to statements in the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented,
under the captions “Description of Notes” and “Description of Debt Securities”), and that nothing has come to their attention with respect to the matters in subparagraph (L) in paragraph (c)(i) above. 
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the opinions described
above, when contained in an opinion delivered on the Commencement Date or pursuant to Sections 5(b) or 5(c), shall be deemed not to address the application of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, or the rules, regulations or interpretations of
the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to Notes the payments of principal or interest on which will be determined by reference to one or more currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity indices or other factors. 
 
With respect to subparagraph (L) of paragraph (c)(i)
above, Irell & Manella LLP may state that their opinion and belief are based upon their participation in conferences in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement and Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto and
documents incorporated therein by reference and review and discussion of the contents thereof, but are without independent check or verification, except as specified. With respect to subparagraph (L) of paragraph (c)(iii) above, O’Melveny &
Myers LLP may state that their opinion and belief are based upon their participation in conferences in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement and Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto (other than documents
incorporated therein by reference) and review of the contents thereof (including documents incorporated therein by reference), but are without independent check or verification, except as specified. 
 
The opinion of Irell & Manella LLP described in
paragraph (c)(i) above shall be rendered to the relevant Agents at the request of the Company and shall so state therein. 
 
(d)    On the Commencement Date and, if called for by any Terms Agreement, on the corresponding Settlement Date,
the Company’s independent public accountants shall have furnished to the relevant Agents a letter or letters, dated as of the Commencement Date or such Settlement Date, as the case may be, in form and substance satisfactory to such Agents
containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountant’s “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in or incorporated by
reference into the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented. 
 
(e)    On the Commencement Date and on each Settlement Date, the Company shall have furnished to the relevant Agents such appropriate further information, certificates and documents as they may reasonably
request. 
 

20 

 
5.    Additional Agreements of the Company 
 
(a)    Each time the Registration Statement or Prospectus is amended or supplemented (other than by an amendment
or supplement providing solely for a change in the interest rates, redemption provisions, amortization schedules or maturities offered on the Notes or for a change the Agents deem to be immaterial or for an amendment or supplement by filing of a
Form 8-K which the Company deems to be immaterial), the Company will deliver or cause to be delivered forthwith to each Agent a certificate signed by an executive officer of the Company, dated the date of such amendment or supplement, as the case
may be, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Agents, of the same tenor as the certificate referred to in Section 4(b) relating to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the time of delivery of such certificate.

 
(b)    Each time the
Company furnishes a certificate pursuant to Section 5(a), the Company will furnish or cause to be furnished forthwith to each Agent a written opinion of the general counsel or assistant general counsel of the Company. Any such opinion shall be dated
the date of such amendment or supplement, as the case may be, shall be in a form satisfactory to the Agents and shall be of the same tenor as the opinion referred to in Section 4(c)(ii), as the case may be, but modified to relate to the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the time of delivery of such opinion. In lieu of such opinion, counsel last furnishing such an opinion to an Agent may furnish to each Agent a letter to the effect that such Agent may rely
on such last opinion to the same extent as though it were dated the date of such letter (except that statements in such last opinion will be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the time of
delivery of such letter.) 
 
(c)    Each time the Company files a Form 10-K or an amendment to a Form 10-K and each time a Terms Agreement calls for a written opinion of independent counsel for the Company, the Company will furnish or cause
to be furnished forthwith to each Agent a written opinion of independent counsel for the Company. Any such opinion shall be dated the date of such amendment or supplement, as the case may be, shall be in a form satisfactory to the Agents and shall
be of the same tenor as the opinion referred to in Section 4(c)(i), as the case may be, but modified to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the time of delivery of such opinion. In lieu of such
opinion, counsel last furnishing such an opinion to an Agent may furnish to each Agent a letter to the effect that such Agent may rely on such last opinion to the same extent as though it were dated the date of such letter (except that statements in
such last opinion will be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the time of delivery of such letter.) 
 
(d)    Each time the Registration Statement or the Prospectus is amended or supplemented to set forth amended or supplemental
financial information or such amended or supplemental information is incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, the 
 

21 

 
Company
shall cause its independent public accountants forthwith to furnish each Agent with a letter, dated the date of such amendment or supplement, as the case may be, in form satisfactory to the Agents, of the same tenor as the letter referred to in
Section 4(d), with regard to the amended or supplemental financial information included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the date of such letter. 
 
6.    Indemnification and Contribution

 
(a)    The Company
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and each person, if any, who controls such Agent within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages
and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any Agent or any such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to such Agent furnished to the Company in writing by such Agent expressly for use therein. 
 
(b)    Each Agent agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless
the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the
foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Agent, but only with reference to information relating to such Agent furnished to the Company in writing by such Agent expressly for use in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendments
or supplements thereto. 
 
(c)    In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such
person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding.
In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such 
 

22 

proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified
party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any
indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all
such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by Morgan Stanley or, if Morgan Stanley is not an indemnified party and is not reasonably likely to become an indemnified party, by the Agents
that are indemnified parties, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to paragraph (a) above, and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to paragraph (b) above. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement
of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by
reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the
second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by
such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior
written consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could
have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. 
 
(d)    To the extent the
indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 6 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein in connection with any offering of Notes, then
each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and each Agent on the other hand from the offering of such Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable
law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and each Agent on the other hand in connection with the statements or
omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and each Agent on the other hand in connection with the
offering of such Notes shall be deemed to 
 

23 

be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of such Notes
(before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total discounts and commissions received by each Agent in respect thereof. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of each Agent on the other hand shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by such Agent and the parties’
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Each Agent’s obligation to contribute pursuant to this Section 6 shall be several (in the proportion that the principal amount
of the Notes the sale of which by or through such Agent gave rise to such losses, claims, damages or liabilities bears to the aggre gate principal amount of the Notes the sale of which by or through any Agent gave rise to such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities) and not joint. 
 
(e)    The Company and the Agents agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Agents were treated as
one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or
defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, no Agent shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Notes referred to in paragraph (d) above that
were offered and sold to the public through such Agent exceeds the amount of any damages that such Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 6 are not
exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity. 
 
7.    Position of the Agents.    In acting under this Agreement and in connection with the sale of
any Notes by the Company (other than Notes sold to an Agent pursuant to a Terms Agreement), each Agent is acting solely as agent of the Company and does not assume any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with any purchaser of
Notes. An Agent shall make reasonable efforts to assist the Company in obtaining performance by each purchaser whose offer to purchase Notes has been solicited by such Agent and accepted by the Company, but such Agent shall not have any liability to
the Company in the event any such purchase is not consummated for any reason. If the Company shall default in its obligations to deliver Notes to a purchaser whose offer it has accepted, the Company shall hold the relevant Agent harmless against any
loss, claim, damage or liability arising from or as a result of such default and shall, in 
 

24 

particular, pay to such Agent the commission it would have received had such sale been consummated. 
 
8.    Termination.    This Agreement may be terminated at any time by the Company or, as to any Agent, by the Company or such Agent upon the giving of written notice of such termination
to the other parties hereto, but without prejudice to any rights, obligations or liabilities of any party hereto accrued or incurred prior to such termination. The termination of this Agreement shall not require termination of any Terms Agreement,
and the termination of any such Terms Agreement shall not require termination of this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated, the provisions of the third paragraph of Section 2(a), Section 2(e), the last sentence of Section 3(b) and Sections
3(c), 3(h), 6, 7, 9, 11 and 14 shall survive; provided that if at the time of termination an offer to purchase Notes has been accepted by the Company but the time of delivery to the purchaser or its agent of such Notes has not occurred, the
provisions of Sections 2(b), 2(c), 3(a), 3(e), 3(f), 3(g), 3(i), 4 and 5 shall also survive until such delivery has been made. 
 
9.    Representations and Indemnities to Survive.    The respective indemnity and contribution
agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, its officers and the Agents set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement or any Terms Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of
this Agreement or any such Terms Agreement, any investigation made by or on behalf of an Agent or the Company or any of the officers, directors or controlling persons referred to in Section 6 and delivery of and payment for the Notes.

If on the Settlement Date any one or more of the Agents
shall fail or refuse to purchase Notes that it has or they have agreed to purchase on such date, and the aggregate amount of Notes which such defaulting Agent or Agents agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the
aggregate amount of the Notes to be purchased on such date, the other Agents shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the amount of Notes set forth opposite their respective names above bears to the aggregate amount of Notes set forth
opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Agents, or in such other proportions as
                             may specify, to purchase the Notes which such defaulting Agent or Agents agreed
but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the amount of Notes that any Agent has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be 
 

A-2 

 
increased pursuant to this paragraph by
an amount in excess of one-ninth of such amount of Notes without the written consent of such Agent. If on the Settlement Date any Agent or Agents shall fail or refuse to purchase Notes and the aggregate amount of Notes with respect to which such
default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate amount of Notes to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to
                         and the Company for the purchase of such Notes are not made within 36 hours after such default, this
Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non- defaulting Agent or the Company. In any such case either
                         or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Settlement Date but in no event for longer than
seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Agent from
liability in respect of any default of such Agent under this Agreement. 
 
This Agreement is subject to termination on the terms incorporated by reference herein. If this Agreement is so terminated, the provisions of Sections 3(h), 6, 9, 11 and 14 of the Distribution Agreement shall survive for the purposes

SERIES C MEDIUM-TERM NOTES 
 
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES 
 
Explained below are the administrative procedures and specific terms of the offering of Series C Medium-Term Notes (the “Notes”), on a
continuous basis by Mattel, Inc. (the “Company”) pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, dated as of November 12, 1997 (the “Distribution Agreement”) among the Company and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (“Morgan
Stanley”), and Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation (“Credit Suisse First Boston”) (the “Agents”). The Notes will be issued under an Indenture dated as of February 15, 1996 (the “Indenture”) between the Company
and Chase Trust Company of California (formerly Chemical Trust Company of California), as trustee (the “Trustee”). In the Distribution Agreement, the Agents have agreed to use reasonable efforts to solicit purchases of the Notes, and the
administrative procedures explained below will govern the issuance and settlement of any Notes sold through an Agent, as agent of the Company. An Agent, as principal, may also purchase Notes for its own account, and if requested by such Agent, the
Company and such Agent will enter into a terms agreement (a “Terms Agreement”), as contemplated by the Distribution Agreement. The administrative procedures explained below will govern the issuance and settlement of any Notes purchased by
an Agent, as principal, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Terms Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Notes. 
 
The Trustee will be the Registrar, Calculation Agent, Authenticating Agent and Paying Agent for the Notes and will
perform the duties specified herein. Each Note will be represented by either a Global Security (as defined below) delivered to the Trustee, as agent for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), and recorded in the book-entry system maintained
by DTC (a “Book-Entry Note”) or a certificate delivered to the holder thereof or a person designated by such holder (a “Certificated Note”). Except as set forth in the Indenture, an owner of a Book-Entry Note will not be entitled
to receive a Certificated Note. 
 
Book-Entry Notes, which
may be payable only in U.S. dollars, will be issued in accordance with the administrative procedures set forth in Part I hereof as they may subsequently be amended as the result of changes in DTC’s operating procedures. Certificated Notes will
be issued in accordance with the administrative procedures set forth in Part II hereof. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Indenture, the Notes or any prospectus supplement relating to the Notes shall be used herein as therein
defined. 
 
The Company will advise the Agents in writing of
the employees of the Company with whom the Agents are to communicate regarding offers to purchase Notes and the related settlement details. 
 

B-1 

 
PART I: ADMINISTRATIVE
PROCEDURES FOR BOOK-ENTRY NOTES 
 
In connection with the
qualification of the Book-Entry Notes for eligibility in the book-entry system maintained by DTC, the Trustee will perform the custodial, document control and administrative functions described below, in accordance with its respective obligations
under a Letter of Representation from the Company and the Trustee to DTC, dated as of November 12, 1997, and a Medium-Term Note Certificate Agreement between Chemical Bank as agent for the Trustee and DTC, dated as of December 2, 1988 (the “MTN
Certificate Agreement”), and its obligations as a participant in DTC, including DTC’s Same-Day Funds Settlement System (“SDFS”). 
 

	
	 Issuance:
	  	 On any date of settlement (as defined under “Settlement” below) for one or more Book-Entry Notes, the Company will
issue a single global security in fully registered form without coupons (a “Global Security”) representing up to U.S. $200,000,000 principal amount of all such Notes that have the same Original Issue Date, Maturity Date and other terms.
Each Global Security will be dated and issued as of the date of its authentication by the Trustee. Each Global Security will bear an “Interest Accrual Date,” which will be (i) with respect to an original Global Security (or any portion
thereof), its original issuance date and (ii) with respect to any Global Security (or any portion thereof) issued subsequently upon exchange of a Global Security, or in lieu of a destroyed, lost or stolen Global Security, the most recent Interest
Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for on the predecessor Global Security (or if no such payment or provision has been made, the original issuance date of the predecessor Global Security), regardless of the date of
authentication of such subsequently issued Global Security. Book-Entry Notes may be payable only in U.S. dollars. No Global Security will represent any Certificated Note.

	
	 Denominations:
	  	 Book-Entry Notes will be issued in principal amounts of U.S. $1,000 or any amount in excess thereof that is an integral multiple
of U.S. $1,000. Global Securities will be denominated in principal amounts not in excess of U.S. $200,000,000. If one or more Book-Entry Notes having an aggregate principal amount in excess of $200,000,000 would, but for the preceding sentence, be
represented by a single Global Security, then one Global Security will be issued to represent each U.S. $200,000,000 principal amount of such Book-Entry Note or Notes and an additional Global Security will be issued to represent any remaining
principal amount of such Book-Entry Note or Notes. In such a case, each of the Global Securities representing such Book-Entry Note or Notes shall be assigned the same CUSIP number.

 

B-2 

 

	
	 Preparation of Pricing Supplement:
	  	 If any offer to purchase a Book-Entry Note is accepted by or on behalf of the Company, the Company will prepare a pricing
supplement (a “Pricing Supplement”) reflecting the terms of such Note. The Company (i) will arrange to file such Pricing Supplement with the Commission in accordance with the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and (ii) will, as soon as possible and in any event not later than 11:00 a.m. on the business day immediately following the applicable trade date, deliver the number of copies of such Pricing Supplement to the relevant Agent as

a Global Security, the Trustee will mark such Global Security “cancelled,” make appropriate entries in the Trustee’s records and send such cancelled Global Security to the Company. The CUSIP number assigned to such Global Security
shall, in accordance with the procedures of the CUSIP Service Bureau of Standard & Poor’s Corporation, be cancelled and not immediately reassigned. If a withdrawal message is processed with respect to one or more, but not all, of the
Book-Entry Notes represented by a Global Security, the Trustee will exchange such Global Security for two Global Securities, one of which shall represent such Book-Entry Note or Notes and shall be cancelled immediately after issuance and the other
of which shall represent the remaining Book-Entry Notes previously represented by the surrendered Global Security and shall bear the CUSIP number of the surrendered Global Security.
  
 If the purchase price for any Book-Entry Note is not timely paid to the Participants with respect to such Note by the beneficial
purchaser thereof (or a person, including an indirect participant in DTC, acting on behalf of such purchaser), such Participants and, in turn, the relevant Agent may enter SDFS deliver orders through DTC’s Participant Terminal System reversing
the orders entered pursuant to Settlement Procedures “F” and “G”, respectively. Thereafter, the Trustee will deliver the withdrawal message and take the related actions described in the preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, upon any failure to settle with respect to a Book-Entry Note, DTC may take any actions in accordance with its SDFS operating procedures then in effect.
  
 In the event of a failure to settle with respect to one or more, but not all, of the Book-Entry Notes to have been represented by a
Global Security, the Trustee will provide, in accordance with Settlement Procedures “D” and “F”, for the authentication and issuance of a Global Security representing the Book-Entry Notes to be represented by such Global Security
and will make appropriate entries in its records.

B-16Form of Option Grant Agmt(Initial Grant)

Exhibit 10.61 
[Grant Agreement under 1996 Plan for Outside Director Option: 
initial grant upon
joining the Board] 
 
Grant Agreement for a

Non-Qualified Stock Option 
under the Amended and Restated 
Mattel 1996 Stock Option Plan 
 
This is a Grant Agreement between Mattel, Inc. (the “Company”)
and the individual (the “Option Holder”) named in the Notice of Grant of Stock Option (the “Notice”) attached hereto as the cover page of this agreement. 
 
Recitals 
 
The Company has adopted the Amended and Restated Mattel 1996 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) for the purpose of, among other things,
granting to Outside Directors options to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan. 
 
Option 
 
1.    Terms.    The Company grants to the Option Holder the right
and option (this “Option”) to purchase, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, all or any part of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock set forth in the Notice, exercisable in accordance with the provisions of this
Option during a period expiring on the date (the “Expiration Date”) that is ten years after the effective date of the grant (the “Grant Date”), as specified in the Notice, unless terminated prior to the Expiration Date pursuant
to Section 5 or 6 below. This Option is a Non-Qualified Stock Option. 
 
2.    Exercisability.    This Option is immediately exercisable in full. 
 
3.    Method of Exercising.    Each exercise of this Option shall be by means of a written
notice of exercise delivered to the office of the Secretary of the Company, specifying the number of whole shares to be purchased, accompanied by payment of the full purchase price of the shares to be purchased. The payment shall be in the form of
cash or such other forms of consideration as the Committee shall deem acceptable, such as the surrender of outstanding shares of Common Stock owned by the Option Holder or by withholding shares that would otherwise be issued upon the exercise of the
Option. The Option Holder may exercise this Option by the delivery to the Company or its designated agent of an irrevocable written notice of exercise form together with irrevocable instructions to a broker-dealer to sell or margin a sufficient
portion of the shares of Common Stock and to deliver the sale or margin loan proceeds directly to the Company to pay the exercise price of this Option. Furthermore, in the event that the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a
third party, an automated system for the exercise of stock 
 

1 

 
options, such as a system using an
internet website or interactive voice response, then the paperless exercise of this Option may be permitted through the use of such an automated system, subject to appropriate limitations on exercises by Insiders. 
 
4.    Withholding.    Upon exercise, the Option Holder shall pay, or make provisions satisfactory to the Company for payment of any federal, state and local taxes required to be
withheld. 
 
5.    Cancellation of
Grants.    The Option Holder specifically acknowledges that this Option is subject to the provisions of Section 20 of the Plan, entitled “Cancellation of Grants,” which can cause the forfeiture of this Option,
or the rescission of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of this Option. As a condition of the exercise of this Option, the Option Holder shall certify on a form acceptable to the Committee that he or she is in compliance with the terms and
conditions of the Plan, including Section 20 thereof, entitled “Cancellation of Grants.” 
 
6.    Term.    This Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date; or (ii)
ninety (90) days after the Option Holder ceases to be a member of the Board, provided, however, that if the Option Holder ceases to be a member of the Board by reason of his or her death or becoming Disabled, the aforementioned ninety (90) day
period shall be extended to one (1) year from the date the Option Holder ceased to be a member of the Board. In no event may the Option or any portion of the Option be exercised after the Expiration Date. If the Option Holder ceases to be a member
of the Board by reason of his or her death, then the Option Holder’s beneficiary or beneficiaries (as designated in the manner determined by the Committee), or if no beneficiary is so designated or if no beneficiary survives the Option Holder,
then the Option Holder’s administrator, executor, personal representative, or trustee of a trust holding the Option, or other person to whom the Option has been transferred by means of the Option Holder’s will or the laws of descent and
distribution, shall be able to exercise the Option within the time periods specified herein. 
 
7.    Compliance with Law.    No shares issuable upon the exercise of this Option shall be issued and delivered unless and until all applicable registration
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, all applicable listing requirements of any national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, and all other requirements of law or of any regulatory bodies having
jurisdiction over such issuance and delivery, shall have been complied with. In particular, the Committee may require certain investment (or other) representations and undertakings in connection with the issuance of securities in connection with the
Plan in order to comply with applicable law. 
 
8.    Assignability.    Except as may be effected by designation of a beneficiary or beneficiaries in such manner as may be determined by the 
 

2 

 
Committee, or as may be effected by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution, any attempt to assign this Option shall be of no effect. 
 
9.    Certain Corporate Transactions.    In the event of certain corporate transactions, this
Option shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 18 of the Plan. In the event of a Change in Control, this Option shall be subject to the provisions of Section 19 of the Plan. 
 
10.    Rights as a Stockholder.    Neither the Option Holder nor
any other person legally entitled to exercise this Option shall be entitled to any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any shares issuable upon any exercise of this Option unless and until a certificate or
certificates representing such shares shall have been actually issued and delivered to the Option Holder. 
 
11.    Compliance with Plan.    This Option is subject to, and the Company and Option Holder
agree to be bound by, all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, as it shall be amended from time to time. No amendment to the Plan shall adversely affect this Option without the consent of the Option Holder. In the case of a conflict between the
terms of the Plan and this Option, the terms of the Plan shall govern. 
 
12.    Governing Law.    This Option has been granted, executed and delivered with effect from the Grant Date, at El Segundo, California, and interpretation, performance and
enforcement of this Option shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.
