 [FORM OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHT AWARD AGREEMENT 
 FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS] 
 STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHT AWARD AGREEMENT UNDER THE DREAMWORKS ANIMATION SKG, INC., 2004 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN dated as of
«Month» «Day», «Year», between DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware Corporation, and «First» «Last». 
 This Stock Appreciation Right Award Agreement (the “Award Agreement”) sets forth the terms and conditions of an award (the “Award”)
of stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) that are granted to you under the DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc., 2004 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The number of SARs subject to this Award is «SARs»,
at a price per Share of $«Exercise_Price» (the “Exercise Price”), the closing market price per Share (as reported by the New York Stock Exchange) on the date hereof. A SAR constitutes an unfunded and unsecured promise of
the Company to deliver (or cause to be delivered) to you, subject to the terms of this Award Agreement, whole shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value (a “Share”), at the time such SAR vests and is exercised,
as provided herein, equal in value to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 1 herein) per Share over the Exercise Price per Share of the SAR. (Fractional shares will not be delivered and the number of Shares to be
delivered upon any exercise by you of SARs subject to this Award shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share.) Until such delivery, you have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor and no rights as a shareholder of the Company.

 THIS AWARD IS SUBJECT TO ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PLAN AND THIS AWARD AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE DISPUTE
RESOLUTION PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 8. BY SIGNING YOUR NAME BELOW, YOU WILL HAVE CONFIRMED YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AWARD AGREEMENT. 
 SECTION 1. The Plan. This Award is made pursuant to the Plan, all the terms of which are hereby incorporated in this Award Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Plan and the terms of
this Award Agreement, the terms of this Award Agreement shall govern. Capitalized terms used in this Award Agreement that are not defined in this Award Agreement have the meanings as used or defined in the Plan. As used in this Award Agreement, the
term “Fair Market Value” means the closing market price per Share as reported on the New York Stock Exchange (or other relevant exchange) on the applicable date or, in the event there shall be no public market for the Shares on the
applicable date, the fair market value of the Shares as determined in good faith by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. 
 SECTION 2. Vesting and Exercise. (a) Vesting. The SARs granted pursuant to this Award Agreement shall be fully vested and may be exercised upon grant. 
  

 (b) Exercise of SARs. SARs, to the extent that they are vested, may be exercised, in whole or in
part (but not for fractional SARs), by delivery pursuant to the Company’s SARs exercise program currently administered by Smith Barney Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. (or such successor arrangement established by the Company) of a written or
electronic notice, complying with the applicable procedures established by the Committee or the Company, stating the number of SARs that are thereby exercised. The notice shall be signed by you or any other person then entitled to exercise the SARs.
Upon exercise, the Company shall deliver to you or your legal representative the number of Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole Share) equal to (x) (A) the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value per Share on the exercise date over
the Exercise Price per Share of the SAR, multiplied by (B) the number of SARs being exercised pursuant to such notice, divided by (y) the Fair Market Value per Share on the exercise date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Committee
determines otherwise, unexercised SARs expire (i) automatically on the date of your termination of service for cause (as determined by the Company) or (ii) 90 days after your termination of service for any reason other than cause;
provided that all SARs will automatically expire on the tenth anniversary of this Award Agreement. 
 SECTION 3. Voting Rights;
Dividend Equivalents. Prior to the date on which your rights with respect to a SAR have become vested and you exercise such SAR, you shall not be entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to such SAR or any Shares with respect thereto,
and shall not be entitled to receive dividends or other distributions with respect thereto. 
 SECTION 4. Non-Transferability of SARs.
Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in its discretion, SARs may not be sold, assigned, alienated, transferred, pledged, attached or otherwise encumbered except as provided in Section 9(a) of the Plan. Any purported sale, assignment,
alienation, transfer, pledge, attachment or other encumbrance of a SAR in violation of the provisions of this Section 4 and Section 9(a) of the Plan shall be void. 
 SECTION 5. Withholding, Consents and Legends. (a) Withholding. The delivery of Shares pursuant to Section 2(b) is conditioned on
satisfaction of any applicable withholding taxes in accordance with Section 9(d) of the Plan. In the event that there is withholding tax liability in connection with the exercise of a SAR, you may satisfy, in whole or in part, any withholding
tax liability by having the Company withhold from the number of Shares you would be entitled to receive pursuant to the exercise of the SARs, a number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding tax liability. 
 (b) Consents. Your rights in respect of the SARs that are subject to this Award are conditioned on the receipt to the full satisfaction of the
Committee of any required consents that the Committee may determine to be necessary or advisable (including, without limitation, your consenting to the Company’s supplying to any third-party recordkeeper of the Plan such personal information as
the Committee deems advisable to administer the Plan). 
  

 2 

 (c) Legends. The Company may affix to certificates for Shares issued pursuant to this Award
Agreement any legend that the Committee determines to be necessary or advisable (including to reflect any restrictions to which you may be subject under any applicable securities laws). The Company may advise the transfer agent to place a stop order
against any legended Shares. 
 SECTION 6. Successors and Assigns of the Company. The terms and conditions of this Award Agreement
shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns. 
 SECTION 7. Committee
Discretion. The Committee shall have full and plenary discretion with respect to any actions to be taken or determinations to be made in connection with this Award Agreement, and its determinations shall be final, binding and conclusive.

 SECTION 8. Dispute Resolution. (a) Jurisdiction and Venue. You and the Company irrevocably submit to the exclusive
jurisdiction of (i) the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and (ii) the courts of the State of Delaware for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Award Agreement or the Plan. You
and the Company agree to commence any such action, suit or proceeding either in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or, if such suit, action or other proceeding may not be brought in such court for jurisdictional reasons,
in the courts of the State of Delaware. You and the Company further agree that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to the other party’s address set forth below shall be effective service of process for
any action, suit or proceeding in Delaware with respect to any matters to which you have submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 8(a). You and the Company irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any
action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Award Agreement or the Plan in (A) the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or (B) the courts of the State of Delaware, and hereby and thereby further irrevocably and
unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 
 (b) Waiver of Jury Trial. You and the Company hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right either of you may have to
