Exhibit 10(zz)

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT 

     THIS AGREEMENT, entered into effective as of the Grant Date (as defined in paragraph 1), is
made by and between the Participant (as defined in paragraph 1) and Hasbro, Inc. (the “Company”).

WITNESSETH THAT:

     WHEREAS, the Company maintains the 2003 Stock Incentive Performance Plan (the “Plan”), a copy
of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit A and the provisions of which are incorporated herein as if
set forth in full, and the Participant has been selected by the Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”), which administers the Plan, to receive an award of
restricted stock units under the Plan;

     NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED, by and between the Company and the Participant, as follows:

1. Terms of Award. The following terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings set
forth in this paragraph 1:

A. The “Participant” is [                    ].

B. The “Grant Date” is [                    ].

C. The “Vesting Period” is the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on
[                    ].

D. The number of restricted stock units (“Stock Units”) awarded under this Agreement shall be
[                    ] Stock Units. Stock Units are fictional shares of the Company’s common stock, par
value $.50 per share (“Common Stock”) granted under this Agreement and subject to the terms of this
Agreement and the Plan.

E. For record-keeping purposes only, the Company shall maintain an account (a “Stock Unit Account”)
for the Participant where Stock Units shall be accumulated and accounted for by the Company.
Without limiting the provisions of Section 8(b) of the Plan, in the event the Company pays a stock
dividend or reclassifies or divides or combines its outstanding Common Stock then an appropriate
adjustment shall be made in the number of Stock Units held in the Stock Unit Account. The Stock
Unit Account will reflect fictional fractional shares of Common Stock to the nearest hundredth of a
share on a one Stock Unit for one share of Common Stock basis.

Other terms used in this Agreement are defined pursuant to paragraph 7 or elsewhere in this
Agreement.

2. Award. The Participant is hereby granted the number of Stock Units set forth in
paragraph 1.

 

 

3. No Dividends and No Voting Rights. The Participant shall not be entitled to any
dividends or voting rights with respect to the Stock Units or Stock Unit Account.

4. Vesting and Forfeiture of Units. Subject to earlier vesting only as is explicitly set
forth in the following paragraphs in the event of a Change in Control (as defined below) or in the
event of certain Terminations of Employment, at the end of the Vesting Period, the Participant
shall become vested in the Stock Units and the Stock Unit Account.

The Participant shall become vested in the Stock Units and the Stock Unit Account as of the date of
a Change in Control, if the Change in Control occurs prior to the end of the Vesting Period.

The Participant shall become vested in the Stock Units and the Stock Unit Account as of the
Participant’s Date of Termination prior to the end of the Vesting Period, only if the Participant’s
Date of Termination occurs by reason of (i) the Participant’s retirement at his or her Normal
Retirement Date (as defined below), (ii) the Participant’s retirement at an Early Retirement Date
(as defined below), subject to the discretion of the Committee based, among other things, upon the
execution by the Participant of a “covenant not to compete” in a form approved by the Company, or
(iii) if the Participant has at least one year of Credited Service (as defined below), the
Participant’s death or Participant’s suffering a Permanent Physical or Mental Disability (as
defined below). If the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs prior to the end of the Vesting
Period for any reason other than the reasons set forth in the preceding sentence, then the award of
Stock Units pursuant to this Agreement shall be forfeited and terminate, and the Participant shall
not be entitled to any shares of Common Stock or any other benefits of this award.

The Stock Units and the Stock Unit Account may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or
otherwise encumbered, except to the extent otherwise provided by either the terms of the Plan or by
the Committee.

5. Settlement in Shares of Common Stock. Provided that the Participant’s interest in the
Stock Units and the Stock Unit Account has vested in accordance with the provisions of Section 4
above, the Participant’s Stock Unit Account shall be converted into actual shares of Common Stock
on [                    ]. The conversion will occur on the basis of one share of Common Stock for every
one Stock Unit. Such shares of Common Stock shall be registered in the name of the Participant
effective as of the date of conversion and a stock certificate representing such actual shares of
Common Stock, or electronic delivery of such shares of Common Stock, as specified in an election by
the Participant, shall be delivered to the Participant within a reasonable time thereafter. To the
extent that there are fictional fractional shares of Common Stock in a Stock Unit Account upon
settlement, such fictional fractional shares shall be rounded to the nearest whole share in
determining the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon conversion.

6. Income Taxes. The Participant shall pay to the Company promptly upon request, and in
any event at the time the Participant recognizes taxable income in respect of the shares of Common
Stock received by the Participant upon the conversion of the Participant’s Stock Unit Account, an
amount equal to the taxes the Company determines it is required to withhold under applicable tax
laws with respect to such shares of

2

 

Common Stock. Such payment shall be made in the form of cash, the delivery of shares of Common
Stock already owned or by withholding such number of actual shares otherwise deliverable pursuant
to this Agreement as is equal to the withholding tax due, or in a combination of such methods. In
the event that the Participant does not make a timely election with respect to payment of
withholding taxes, the Company shall withhold shares from the settlement of the Award.

7. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms used in this Agreement shall be
subject to the following:

A. Change in Control. The term “Change in Control” shall have the meaning ascribed to it
in the Plan.

B. Credited Service. The term “Credited Service” shall mean the period of the employee’s
employment considered in determining whether the employee is eligible to receive benefits under the
Company’s applicable pension plan (or any successor plan) upon termination of employment.

C. Date of Termination. The Participant’s “Date of Termination” shall be the first day
occurring on or after the Grant Date on which the Participant is not employed (a “Termination of
Employment”) by the Company or any entity directly or indirectly controlled by the Company (a
“Subsidiary”), regardless of the reason for the termination of employment; provided that a
termination of employment shall not be deemed to occur by reason of a transfer of the Participant
between the Company and a Subsidiary or between two Subsidiaries; and further provided that the
Participant’s employment shall not be considered terminated while the Participant is on a leave of
absence from the Company or a Subsidiary approved by the Participant’s employer. If, as a result
of a sale or other transaction, the Participant’s employer ceases to be a Subsidiary (and the
Participant’s employer is or becomes an entity that is separate from the Company), the occurrence
of such transaction shall be treated as the Participant’s Date of Termination caused by the
Participant being discharged by the employer.

D. Early Retirement Date. The term “Early Retirement Date” shall mean the day on which a
Participant who has attained age fifty-five (55), but has not reached age sixty-five (65), with ten
(10) or more years of Credited Service, retires. A Participant is eligible for early retirement on
the first day of the calendar month coincident with or immediately following the attainment of age
fifty-five (55) and the completion of ten (10) years of Credited Service, and “early retirement”
shall mean retirement by an eligible Participant at the Early Retirement Date.

E. Normal Retirement Date. The term “Normal Retirement Date” shall mean the day on which a
Participant who has attained age sixty-five (65), with five (5) years of Credited Service, retires.
A Participant is eligible for normal retirement on the first day of the calendar month coincident
with or immediately following the Participant’s attainment of age sixty-five (65) and completion of
five (5) years of Credited Service, and “normal retirement” shall mean the retirement by an
eligible Participant at the Normal Retirement Date.

3

 

F. Permanent Physical or Mental Disability. The term “Permanent Physical or Mental
Disability” shall mean the Participant’s inability to perform his or her job or any position which
the Participant can perform with his or her background and training by reason of any medically
determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or to be of
long, continued and indefinite duration.

G. Plan Definitions. Except where the context clearly implies or indicates the contrary, a
word, term, or phrase used in the Plan is similarly used in this Agreement.

8. Heirs and Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit
of, the Company and its successors and assigns, including upon any person acquiring, whether by
merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise, all or substantially all of the Company’s
assets and business, and the Participant and the successors and permitted assigns of the
Participant, including but not limited to, the estate of the Participant and the executor,
administrator or trustee of such estate, and the guardian or legal representative of the
Participant.

9. Administration. The authority to manage and control the operation and administration of
this Agreement shall be vested in the Committee, and the Committee shall have all powers with
respect to this Agreement as it has with respect to the Plan. Any interpretation of the Agreement
by the Committee and any decision made by it with respect to the Agreement is final and binding.

10. Plan Governs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the terms of
this Agreement shall be subject to the terms of the Plan.

11. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by written Agreement of the Participant and
the Company, without the consent of any other person.

12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan contain the entire agreement and
understanding of the parties hereto with respect of the award contained herein and therein and
supersede all prior communications, representations and negotiations in respect thereof.

13. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement
shall not affect the validity or enforceabilty of any other provision of this Agreement, and each
other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law
and any court determining the unenforceability of any provisions shall have the power to reduce the
scope or duration of such provision to render such provision enforceable.

HASBRO, INC.

NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

Effective October 1, 1997

Purpose

          The purpose of this Plan is to provide specified benefits to a select group of management and
highly compensated Employees who contribute materially to the continued growth, development and
future business success of Hasbro, Inc., a Rhode Island corporation, and its subsidiaries, if any,
that sponsor this Plan. This Plan shall be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I
of ERISA.

ARTICLE 1

Definitions

          For purposes of this Plan, unless otherwise clearly apparent from the context, the following
phrases or terms shall have the following indicated meanings:

	1.1	 	“Account Balance” shall mean, with respect to a Participant, a credit on the records of the
Employer equal to the sum of (i) the Deferral Account balance and (ii) the Company Matching
and Discretionary Account balance. The Account Balance, and each other specified account
balance, shall be a bookkeeping entry only and shall be utilized solely as a device for the
measurement and determination of the amounts to be paid to a Participant, or his or her
designated Beneficiary, pursuant to this Plan.
	 
	1.2	 	“Annual Bonus” shall mean any compensation, in addition to Base Annual Salary relating to
services performed during any calendar year, whether or not paid in such calendar year or
included on the Federal Income Tax Form W-2 for such calendar year, payable to a Participant
as an Employee under any Employer’s annual bonus and cash incentive plans, excluding stock
options, holiday bonuses, retention bonuses, or any other discretionary or special bonus or
awards.
	 
	1.3	 	“Annual Company Matching Amount” for any one Plan Year shall be the amount determined in
accordance with Section 3.5.

1

 

	1.4	 	“Annual Deferral Amount” shall mean that portion of a Participant’s Base Annual Salary and
Annual Bonus that a Participant elects to have, and is deferred, in accordance with Article 3,
for any one Plan Year. In the event of a Participant’s Retirement, Disability (if deferrals
cease in accordance with Section 8.1), death or a Termination of Employment prior to the end
of a Plan Year, such year’s Annual Deferral Amount shall be the actual amount withheld prior
to such event.

	1.5	 	“Annual Installment Method” shall be an annual installment payment over the number of years
selected by the Participant in accordance with this Plan, calculated as follows: The Account
Balance of the Participant shall be calculated as of the close of business three business days
prior to the last business day of the year. The annual installment shall be calculated by
multiplying this balance by a fraction, the numerator of which is one, and the denominator of
which is the remaining number of annual payments due the Participant. By way of example, if
the Participant elects a 10-year Annual Installment Method, the first payment shall be 1/10 of
the Account Balance, calculated as described in this definition. The following year, the
payment shall be 1/9 of the Account Balance, calculated as described in this definition. Each
annual installment shall be paid on or as soon as practicable after the last business day of
the applicable year.

	1.6	 	“Base Annual Salary” shall mean the annual cash compensation relating to services performed
during any calendar year, whether or not paid in such calendar year or included on the Federal
Income Tax Form W-2 for such calendar year, excluding bonuses of every type, commissions,
overtime, fringe benefits, stock options, relocation expenses, incentive payments,
non-monetary awards, directors fees and other fees, automobile and other allowances paid to a
Participant for employment services rendered (whether or not such allowances are included in
the Employee’s gross income). Base Annual Salary shall be calculated before reduction for
compensation voluntarily deferred or contributed by the Participant pursuant to all qualified
or non-qualified plans of any Employer and shall be calculated to include amounts not
otherwise included in the Participant’s gross income under Code Sections 125, 402(e)(3),
402(h), or 403(b) pursuant to plans established by any Employer; provided, however, that all
such amounts will be included in compensation only to the extent that, had there been no such
plan, the amount would have been payable in cash to the Employee.

	1.7	 	“Beneficiary” shall mean one or more persons, trusts, estates or other entities, designated
in accordance with Article 9, that are entitled to receive benefits under this Plan upon the
death of a Participant.

	1.8	 	“Beneficiary Designation Form” shall mean the form established from time to time by the
Committee that a Participant completes, signs and returns to the Committee to designate one or
more Beneficiaries.

	1.9	 	“Board” shall mean the board of directors of the Company.

2

 

	1.10	 	“Change in Control” shall mean a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company,
or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company, as defined in
Section 409A of the Code and the rules and regulations issued hereunder.
	 
	1.11	 	“Claimant” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 14.1.
	 
	1.12	 	“Code” shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as it may be amended from time to time.
	 
	1.13	 	“Committee” shall mean the committee described in Article 12.
	 
	1.14	 	“Company” shall mean Hasbro, Inc., a Rhode Island corporation, and any successor to all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets or business.

	1.15	 	“Company Matching and Discretionary Account” shall mean (i) the sum of all of a Participant’s
Annual Company Matching Amounts and Annual Company Discretionary Amounts, plus (ii) amounts
credited in accordance with all the applicable crediting provisions of this Plan that relate
to the Participant’s Company Matching and Discretionary Account, less (iii) all distributions
made to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary pursuant to this Plan that relate to the
Participant’s Company Matching and Discretionary Account.

	1.16	 	“Deduction Limitation” shall mean the following described limitation on a benefit that may
otherwise be distributable pursuant to the provisions of this Plan. Except as otherwise
provided, this limitation shall be applied to all distributions that are “subject to the
Deduction Limitation” under this Plan. If an Employer determines in good faith prior to a
Change in Control that there is a reasonable likelihood that any compensation paid to a
Participant for a taxable year of the Employer would not be deductible by the Employer solely
by reason of the limitation under Code Section 162(m), then to the extent deemed necessary by
the Employer to ensure that the entire amount of any distribution to the Participant pursuant
to this Plan prior to the Change in Control is deductible, the Employer may defer all or any
portion of a distribution under this Plan. Any amounts deferred pursuant to this limitation
shall continue to be credited/debited with additional amounts in accordance with Section 3.8
below. The amounts so deferred and amounts credited thereon shall be distributed to the
Participant or his or her Beneficiary (in the event of the Participant’s death) at the
earliest possible date, as determined by the Employer in good faith, on which the
deductibility of compensation paid or payable to the Participant for the taxable year of the
Employer during which the distribution is made will not be limited by Section 162(m), or if
earlier, the effective date of a Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Plan, the Deduction Limitation shall not apply to any distributions made after a
Change in Control.

	1.17	 	“Deferral Account” shall mean (i) the sum of all of a Participant’s Annual Deferral Amounts,
plus (ii) amounts credited in accordance with all the applicable crediting

3

 

	    	 	provisions of this Plan that relate to the Participant’s Deferral Account, less (iii) all
distributions made to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary pursuant to this Plan that
relate to his or her Deferral Account.
	 
	1.18	 	“Disability” shall mean a period of disability during which a Participant (i) is unable to
engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or
mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a
continuous period of not less than 12 months, or (ii) is, by reason of determinable physical

ARTICLE 2

Selection, Enrollment, and Eligibility

	2.1	 	Selection by Committee. Participation in the Plan shall be limited to a select group
of management and highly compensated Employees of the Employers, as determined by the
Committee in its sole discretion. From that group, the Committee shall select, in its sole
discretion, Employees to participate in the Plan.

	2.2	 	Enrollment Requirements. As a condition to participation, each selected Employee
shall complete, execute and return to the Committee a Plan Agreement, an Election Form and a
Beneficiary Designation Form, all within 30 days after he or she is selected to participate in

participate in the Plan has met all enrollment requirements set forth in this Plan and
required by the Committee, including returning all required documents to the Committee within
the specified time period, that Employee shall commence participation in the Plan on the first
day of the month following the month in which the Employee completes all enrollment
requirements. If an Employee fails to meet all such requirements within the period required,

ARTICLE 3

Deferral Commitments/Company Matching/Crediting/Taxes

	 	3.1	 	Minimum Deferrals.

	 	(a)	 	Base Annual Salary and Annual Bonus. For each Plan Year, a Participant
may elect to defer, as his or her Annual Deferral Amount, part or all of the
Participant’s Base Annual Salary, and/or Annual Bonus in the following minimum amounts
for each deferral elected:

	 	 	 	 	 
	Deferral	 	Minimum Amount
	Base Annual Salary
	 	 	1	%
	Annual Bonus
	 	 	1	%

	 	 	 	If an election is made for less than stated minimum amounts, or if no election is
made, the amount deferred shall be zero.

	 	3.2	 	Maximum Deferral.

	 	(a)	 	Base Annual Salary and Annual Bonus. For each Plan Year, a Participant
may elect to defer, as his or her Annual Deferral Amount, part of the Participant’s
Base Annual Salary and/or Annual Bonus up to the following maximum percentages for each
deferral elected:

	 	 	 	 	 
	Deferral	 	Maximum Amount
	Base Annual Salary
	 	 	75	%
	Annual Bonus
	 	 	85	%

	 	 	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant first becomes a Participant after
the first day of a Plan Year, or in the case of the first Plan Year of the Plan
itself, the maximum Annual Deferral Amount, with respect to Base Annual Salary
and/or Annual Bonus shall be limited to the amount of compensation not yet earned by
the Participant as of the date the Participant submits a Plan Agreement and Election
Form to the Committee for acceptance.
	 
	 	 	 	An election to defer Base Annual Salary and/or Annual Bonus must be expressed as an
election to defer a specific percentage.

	 	3.3	 	Election to Defer; Effect of Election Form.

	 	(a)	 	First Plan Year. If a Participant’s commencement of participation in
the Plan is coincident with the Participant’s commencement of employment, the
Participant shall, within 30 days after commencement of participation, make an irrevocable deferral election for the Plan Year in which the Participant
commences participation in the Plan, along with such other elections as the

8

 

	 	 	 	
Committee deems necessary or desirable under the Plan. For these elections to be
valid, the Election Form must be completed and signed by the Participant, timely
delivered to the Committee (in accordance with Section 2.2 above) and accepted by
the Committee. If a Participant’s commencement of participation begins after
commencement of employment, the Participant may not make a deferral election until
the Plan Year beginning after commencement of employment.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Subsequent Plan Years. For each succeeding Plan Year, an irrevocable
election to defer Base Annual Salary shall be made by timely delivery to the Committee,
in accordance with its rules and procedures, before the end of the Plan Year preceding
the Plan Year for which the election is made, a new Election Form. An Election Form to
defer an Annual Bonus, other than a bonus paid under a performance based compensation
plan that meets the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, which is to be paid in a
Plan Year shall be delivered to the Committee in accordance with the procedures
described above, before the end of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year in which the
bonus is earned. An Election Form to defer an Annual Bonus paid under a performance
based compensation plan that meets the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, shall
be delivered to the Committee at least six months before the end of the Plan Year in
which the bonus is earned. If no such Election Form is timely delivered for a Plan
Year, the Annual Deferral Amount shall be zero for that Plan Year. Any other elections
as the Committee deems necessary or advisable shall be made at such times as the
Committee may designate.

	 	3.4	 	Withholding of Annual Deferral Amounts. For each Plan Year, the Base Annual Salary
portion of the Annual Deferral Amount shall be withheld from each regularly scheduled Base
Annual Salary payroll in equal amounts, as adjusted from time to time for increases and
decreases in Base Annual Salary. The Annual Bonus portion of the Annual Deferral Amount shall
be withheld at the time the Annual Bonus is or otherwise would be paid to the Participant,
whether or not this occurs during the Plan Year itself. No withholding shall be permitted
within six months after the Participant has received a hardship distribution from the 401(k)
Plan.

	 	3.5	 	Annual Company Matching Amount; Annual Company Discretionary Amount.

	 	(a)	 	Annual Company Matching Amount. For each Plan Year, an Employer, in
its sole discretion, may, but is not required to, credit an Annual Company Matching
Amount to the Hasbro, Inc. Supplemental Benefit Retirement Plan account or to the
Company Matching and Discretionary Account of any Participant who makes a contribution
to the 401(k) Plan of the
Maximum 401(k) Amount. A Participant’s Annual Company Matching Amount to this Plan
for any Plan Year shall be equal to the matching contributions that would have been
made to the 401(k) Plan on his behalf for the plan year of

9

 

	 	 	 	the 401(k) Plan that
corresponds to the Plan Year if the Participant had made no deferral and had made a
contribution to the 401(k) Plan of the Maximum 401(k) Amount for such plan year,
reduced by the amount of any matching contributions that were actually made to the
401(k) Plan on his or her behalf for such plan year. If a Participant is not
employed by an Employer as of the last day of a Plan Year other than by reason of
his or her Retirement or death, the Annual Company Matching Amount for such Plan
Year shall be zero. In the event of Retirement or death, a Participant shall be
credited with the Annual Company Matching Amount for the Plan Year in which he or
she Retires or dies.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Annual Company Discretionary Amount. For each Plan year, an Employer,
in its sole discretion, may, but is not required to, credit any amount it desires to
any Participant’s Matching and Discretionary Account, which amount shall be for that
Participant the Annual Company Discretionary Amount for that Plan Year. The amount so
credited to a Participant may be smaller or larger that the amount credited to any
other Participant, and the amount credited to any Participant for a Plan Year may be
zero, even though one or more other Participants receive an Annual Company
Discretionary Amount for that Plan Year. The Annual Company Discretionary Amount, if
any, shall be credited to the Participant’s Annual Company Matching and Discretionary
Account at any time during the Plan Year as determined by the Company. If a
Participant is not employed by an Employer as of the day within the Plan Year the
Annual Company Discretionary Amount is to be credited to the Participant’s Matching and
Discretionary Account, other than by reason of his or her Retirement or death while
employed, the Annual Company Discretionary Amount for that Plan Year for that
Participant shall be zero. In the event of Retirement or death, a Participant shall be
credited with the Annual Company Discretionary Amount for the Plan Year in which he or
she Retires or dies.

	 	3.6	 	Investment of Trust Assets. The Trustee of the Trust shall be authorized, upon
written instructions received from the Committee or investment manager appointed by the
Committee, to invest and reinvest the assets of the Trust in accordance with the applicable
Trust Agreement, including the disposition of stock and reinvestment of the proceeds in one or
more investment vehicles designated by the Committee.
	 
	 	3.7	 	Vesting.

	 	(a)	 	A Participant shall at all times be 100% vested in his or her Deferral Account.
	 
	 	(b)	 	A Participant’s Company Matching and Discretionary Account shall vest on the
January 1 next following the Participant’s completion of a Year of Service. A
Participant’s Discretionary Account shall vest on the January 1 next following the
Participant’s completion of a Year of Service, or on such

10

 

	 	 	 	other date or dates that may
be set forth or incorporated in the specific corporate authorization, grant or award
that provides for such Discretionary Amount.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.7, in the
event of a Change in Control, a Participant’s Company Matching and Discretionary
Account shall immediately become 100% vested (if it is not already vested in accordance
with the above vesting schedule).

	 	3.8	 	Crediting/Debiting of Account Balances. In accordance with, and subject to, the
rules and procedures that are established from time to time by the Committee, in its sole
discretion, amounts shall be credited or debited to a Participant’s Account Balance in
accordance with the following rules:

	 	(a)	 	Election of Measurement Funds. A Participant, in connection with his
or her initial deferral election in accordance with Section 3.2(a) above, shall elect,
on the Election form, one or more Measurement Fund(s) (as described in Section 3.8(c)
below) to be used to determine the additional amounts to be credited to his or her
Account Balance while the Participant participates in the Plan, unless changed in
accordance with the next sentence. Commencing on April 1, 2002, the Participant may
(but is not required to) elect on a daily basis, pursuant to such procedures as may be
established by the Committee from time to time, to add or delete one or more
Measurement Fund(s) to be used to determine the additional amounts to be credited to
his or her Account Balance, or to change the portion of his or her Account Balance
allocated to each previously or newly elected Measurement Fund. If an election is made
in accordance with the previous sentence, it shall apply while the Participant
participates in the Plan, unless changed in accordance with the previous sentence.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Participant may only allocate a portion of
his or her Account Balance to a Measurement Fund which reflects the performance of the
Common Stock of the Company (the “Company Stock Fund”); additions to the Account
Balance during a Plan Year may not be allocated to the Company Stock Fund during that
Plan Year. An election by a Participant to allocate a portion of his or her Account to
the Company Stock Fund may be made only once during the period beginning on October 25
and ending on November 5 of each Plan Year, such election to be effective as of January
1 of the next Plan Year. For the year the Company Stock Fund comes into effect, 1998,
the reallocation period is from March 16 through March 25 and will be effective as of
April 1, 1998. The Committee may in its sole discretion impose such
additional restrictions on allocations to or from the Company Stock Fund as it deems
necessary or advisable.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Proportionate Allocation. In making any election described in Section
3.8(a) above, the Participant shall specify on the Election Form, in increments of one
percentage point (1%), the percentage of his or her Account Balance to be allocated to
a Measurement Fund (as if the

11

 

	 	 	 	Participant was making an investment in that Measurement Fund with that portion of his or her Account Balance).
	 
	 	(c)	 	Measurement Funds. The Participant may elect one or more of the
following measurement funds set forth on Schedule A. Such election may be changed by
the Participant on a daily basis pursuant to such procedures as may be established by
the Committee from time to time. As necessary, the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, discontinue, substitute or add a Measurement Fund. Each such action will
take effect as of the first day of the calendar quarter that follows by thirty (30)
days the day on which the Committee gives Participants advance written notice of such
change.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Crediting or Debiting Method. Subject to charges for administrative
expenses as provided in Section 3.8(f), the performance of each elected Measurement
Fund (either positive or negative) will be determined by the Committee, in its sole
discretion, based on the performance of the Measurement Funds themselves. A
Participant’s Account Balance shall be credited or debited on a daily basis based on
the performance of each Measurement Fund selected by the Participant, as determined by
the Committee in its sole discretion, as though (i) a Participant’s Account Balance
were invested in the Measurement Fund(s) selected by the Participant, in the
percentages then applicable, (ii) the portion for the Annual Deferral Amount that was
actually deferred during any calendar quarter were invested in the Measurement Fund(s)
selected by the Participant, in the percentages then applicable, no later than the
close of business on the third business day after the day on which such amounts are
actually deferred from the Participant’s Base Annual Salary through reductions in his
or her payroll, at the closing price on such date; and (iii) any distribution made to a
Participant that decreases such Participant’s Account Balance ceased being invested in
the Measurement Fund(s), in the percentages then applicable, no earlier than ten
business days prior to the distribution, at the closing price on such date. The
Participant’s Annual Company Matching Amount shall be credited to his or her Company
Matching and Discretionary Account under this Plan for purposes of this Section 3.8(d)
as of the close of business on the first business day in March of the Plan Year
following the Plan Year to which it relates. In the case of an account for which the
Company Stock Fund is a Measurement Fund, the equivalent of such cash dividends paid
with respect to the Common Stock shall be credited to such account on the last day of
the calendar quarter during which the cash dividend was paid. In the event the
Company pays a stock dividend or reclassifies or divides or combines its outstanding
Common Stock, then an appropriate adjustment shall be made in the Company Stock
Fund.
	 
	 	(e)	 	No Actual Investment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan
that may be interpreted to the contrary, the Measurement Funds are to be used for
measurement purposes only, and a Participant’s election of any

12

 

	 	 	 	such Measurement Fund,
the allocation to his or her Account Balance thereto, the calculation of additional
amounts and the crediting or debiting of such amounts to a Participant’s Account
Balance shall not be considered or construed in any manner as an actual
investment of his or her Account Balance in any such Measurement Fund. In the event
that the Company or the Trustee (as that term is defined in the Trust), in its own
discretion, decides to invest funds in any or all of the Measurement Funds, no
Participant shall have any rights in or to such investments themselves. Without
limiting the foregoing, a Participant’s Account Balance shall at all times be a
bookkeeping entry only and shall not represent any investment made on his or her behalf
by the Company or the Trust; the Participant shall at all times remain an unsecured
creditor of the Company.
	 
	 	(f)	 	Expenses. The Account Balance of each Participant shall be debited by
the amount of the reasonable administrative expenses of the Plan in the same proportion
that the Participant’s Account Balance bears to the total Account Balances of all
Participants.

	 	3.9	 	FICA and Other Taxes.

	 	(a)	 	Annual Deferral Amounts. For each Plan Year in which an Annual
Deferral Amount is being withheld from a Participant, the Participant’s Employer(s)
shall withhold from that portion of the Participant’s Base Annual Salary and Bonus that
is not being deferred, in a manner determined by the Employer(s), the Participant’s
share of FICA and other employment taxes on such Annual Deferral Amount. If necessary,
the Committee may reduce the Annual Deferral Amount in order to comply with this
Section 3.9.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Company Matching Amounts. When a participant becomes vested in a
portion of his or her Company Matching and Discretionary Account, the Participant’s
Employer(s) shall withhold from the Participant’s Base Annual Salary and/or Bonus that
is not deferred, in a manner determined by the Employer(s), the Participant’s share of
FICA and other employment taxes. If necessary, the Committee may reduce the vested
portion of the Participant’s Company Matching and Discretionary Account in order to
comply with this Section 3.9.

	 	3.10	 	Distributions. The Participant’s Employer(s), or the trustee of the Trust, shall
withhold from any payments made to a Participant
under this Plan all federal, state and local income, employment and other taxes required to
be withheld by the Employer(s), or the trustee of the Trust, in connection with such
payments, in amounts and in a manner to be determined in the sole discretion of the
Employer(s) and the trustee of the Trust.
	 
	 	3.11	 	Employer Deferral. If an Employer determines in good faith that there is a
reasonable likelihood that any compensation paid to a Participant for a taxable

13

 

	 	 	 	year would not
be deductible by the Employer solely by reason of the limitation under Code Section 162(m),
then to the extent deemed necessary by the Employer to ensure that all of the compensation
payable to the Participant is deductible, the Employer may reduce the Participant’s Base
Annual Salary and/or Annual Bonus and treat the amount of such reduction as an amount deferred
by the Participant. The amount so deferred and amounts credited thereon shall be distributed
to the Participant (or his or her Beneficiary in the event of the Participant’s death) at the
earliest possible date, as determined by the Employer in good faith, on which the
deductibility of compensation paid or payable to the Participant for the taxable year of the
Employer during which the distribution is made will not be limited by Section 162(m), or if
earlier, the effective date of a Change in Control. No deferrals may be made under this
Section 3.11 after the effective date of a Change in Control. For purposes of this Section
3.11 only, the term “Participant” shall mean any Employee who has been selected to participate
in the Plan.

ARTICLE 4

Short-Term Payout; Unforeseeable Financial Emergencies;

Withdrawal Election

	4.1	 	Short-Term Payout. In connection with each election to defer an Annual Deferral
Amount, a Participant may irrevocably elect to receive a future “Short-Term Payout” from the
Plan with respect to such Annual Deferral Amount. Subject to the Deduction Limitation, the
Short-Term Payout shall be a lump sum payment in an amount that is equal to the Annual
Deferral Amount plus amounts credited or debited in the manner provided in Section 3.8 above
on that amount, determined at the time that the Short-Term Payout becomes payable (rather than
the date of a Termination of Employment). Subject to the Deduction Limitation and the other
terms and conditions of this Plan, each Short-Term Payout elected shall be paid out during a
period beginning 1 day and ending 60 days after the last day of any Plan Year designated by
the Participant that is at least three Plan Years after the Plan Year in which the Annual
Deferral Amount is actually deferred. By way of example, if a three year Short-Term Payout is
elected for Annual Deferral Amounts that are deferred in the Plan Year commencing January 1,
1998, the three year Short-Term Payout would become payable during a 60 day period commencing
January 1, 2002.

	4.2	 	Other Benefits Take Precedence Over Short-Term. Should an event occur that triggers
a benefit under Article 5, 6, 7 or 8, any Annual Deferral Amount, plus amounts credited or
debited thereon, that is subject to a Short-Term Payout election under Section 4.1 shall not
be paid in accordance with Section 4.1 but shall be paid in accordance with the other
applicable Article.

	4.3	 	Withdrawal Payout/Suspensions for Unforeseeable Financial Emergencies. If the
Participant experiences an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency, the Participant may petition the
Committee to (i) suspend any deferrals required to be made by a Participant and/or
(ii) receive a partial or full payout from the Plan. The payout shall not exceed the lesser
of the Participant’s Account Balance, calculated as if such Participant were receiving a
Termination Benefit, or the amount reasonably needed to satisfy the Unforeseeable Financial
Emergency as determined by the Committee. The amount distributed may include the amounts
necessary to satisfy such emergency, plus the amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably
anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking into account the extent to which the
hardship is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise
or by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets
would not itself cause severe financial hardship). If, subject to the sole discretion of the
Committee, the petition for a suspension and/or payout is approved, suspension shall take
effect upon the date of approval and any payout
shall be made within 60 days of the date of approval. The payment of any amount under this
Section 4.3 shall not be subject to the Deduction Limitation or any withdrawal penalty.

15

 

	4.4	 	Withdrawal Election. A Participant (or, after a Participant’s death, his or her
Beneficiary) may elect, at any time, to withdraw all of his or her Account Balance calculated
as if there had occurred a Termination of Employment as of the day of the election, less a
withdrawal penalty equal to 10% of such amount, provided that such withdrawal shall
not exceed his or her Pre-2005 Deferral Amounts (the net amount shall be referred to as the
“Withdrawal Amount”). This election can be made at any time, before or after Retirement,
Disability, death or Termination of Employment, and whether or not the Participant (or
Beneficiary) is in the process of being paid pursuant to an installment payment schedule. If
made before Retirement, Disability or death, a Participant’s Withdrawal Amount shall be his or
her Account Balance calculated as if there had occurred a Termination of Employment as of the
day of the election. No partial withdrawals of the Withdrawal Amount shall be allowed. The
Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) shall make this election by giving the Committee
advance written notice of the election in a form determined from time to time by the
Committee. The Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) shall be paid the Withdrawal Amount
within 60 days of his or her election. Once the Withdrawal Amount is paid, the Participant’s
participation in the Plan shall terminate and the Participant shall not be eligible to
participate in the Plan until the next enrollment period which is at least six months after
the date of withdrawal. The payment of this Withdrawal Amount shall not be subject to the
Deduction Limitation.

	4.5	 	2005 Opt-out Election. At any time before December 31, 2005 a Participant may elect
to receive a payout of 100% of his or her 2005 Salary Deferral amount, to stop further Salary
Deferrals for 2005, and/or to cancel his or her Bonus Deferral election for the bonus paid in
2005 or 2006.

ARTICLE 5

Retirement Benefit

	 	5.1	 	Retirement Benefit. Subject to the Deduction Limitation, a Participant who Retires
shall receive, as a Retirement Benefit, his or her Account Balance.
	 
	 	5.2	 	Payment of Retirement Benefit.

	 	(a)	 	Pre-2005 Deferral Amounts. A Participant, in connection with his or
her commencement of participation in the Plan, shall elect on an Election Form to
receive the Retirement Benefit in a lump sum or pursuant to an Annual Installment
Method of 5, 10 or 15 years. The Participant may annually change his or her election
to an allowable alternative payout period by submitting a new Election Form to the
Committee, provided that any such Election Form is submitted at least one year prior to
the Participant’s Retirement and is accepted by the Committee in its sole discretion.
The Election Form most recently accepted by the Committee shall govern the payout of
the Retirement Benefit. For Retirements on or after January 1, 2002, the Committee, in
its sole discretion, may cause the Retirement Benefit to be paid in a lump sum or
pursuant to the Annual Installment Method of not more than 5 years irrespective of the
Election Form most recently accepted. If a Participant does not make any election with
respect to the payment of the Retirement Benefit, then such benefit shall be payable in
a lump sum. The lump sum payment shall be made, or installment payments shall
commence, in the month of January following the Participant’s Retirement. The
Committee, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the commencement of the Pre-2005
Deferral Amounts. Any payment made shall be subject to the Deduction Limitation.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Post-2004 Deferral Amounts. Commencing January 1, 2005 a Participant
shall make an individual election for each year’s Salary Deferral and Bonus Deferral
relating to the time and manner of the payment of that year’s deferral. The
Participant may annually change his or her election for any year to an allowable
alternative payout period by submitting a new Election Form to the Committee, provided
that any such Election Form is submitted at least one year prior to the Participant’s
Retirement and is accepted by the Committee in its sole discretion and, with respect to
the for any year that is attributable to Post-2004 Deferral Amount, the first payment
with respect to such election must be deferred for a period of not less than 5 years
from the date the payment would have otherwise been made. Subject to the limitation
set forth in the preceding sentence, the Election Form most recently accepted by the
Committee shall govern the payout for any year that is a Post-2004 Deferral Amount. If
a Participant does not make any election with respect to the payment of the Retirement
Benefit, then such benefit shall be payable in a lump sum. The lump sum payment
shall be made, or installment payments shall commence, in the month of

17

 

	 	 	 	January following the Participant’s Retirement, except that the portion of the Retirement
Benefit that is attributable to Post-2004 Deferral Amounts may not be distributed to
a Participant who is a “key employee” (as defined in Section 416(i) of Code) before
the date that is 6 months after the date of his or her Retirement. Any payment made
shall be subject to the Deduction Limitation.

	 	5.3	 	Death Prior to Completion of Retirement Benefit. If a Participant dies after
Retirement but before the Retirement Benefit is paid in full, the Participant’s unpaid
Retirement Benefit payments shall continue and shall be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary
(a) over the remaining number of months and in the same amounts as that benefit would have
been paid to the Participant had the Participant survived, or (b) in a lump sum, if requested
by the Beneficiary and allowed in the sole discretion of the Committee, but only with respect
to the portion of Participant’s unpaid remaining Account Balance that is attributable to
Pre-2005 Deferral Amounts.

her commencement of participation in the Plan, shall elect on an Election Form whether
the Pre-Retirement Survivor Benefit shall be received by his or her Beneficiary in a
lump sum or pursuant to an Annual Installment Method of 5, 10 or 15 years. The
Participant may annually change this election to an allowable alternative payout period
by submitting a new Election Form to the Committee, which form must be accepted by the
Committee in its sole discretion. The Election Form most recently accepted by the
Committee prior to the Participant’s death shall govern the payout of the Participant’s
Pre-Retirement Survivor Benefit. If a Participant does not make any election with
respect to the payment of the Pre-Retirement Survivor Benefit, then such benefit shall
be paid in a lump sum. Despite the foregoing, if the Participant’s Account Balance at
the time of his or her death is less than $25,000, payment of the Pre-Retirement
Survivor Benefit shall be made in a lump sum. The lump sum payment shall be made
within ninety (90) days after termination of employment. The Committee, in its sole
discretion, may accelerate commencement of the portion of the Pre-Retirement Survivor
Benefit that is attributable to Pre-2005 Deferral Amounts. Any payment made shall be
subject to the Deduction Limitation. In no event will payments commence prior to such
time as the Committee is provided with proof satisfactory to the Committee of the
Participant’s Death.

the Committee, which form must be accepted by the Committee in its sole discretion, and
with respect to the payment of the portion of the Benefit that is attributable to a
Post-2004 Deferral Amount, the first payment with respect to such election must be
deferred for a period of not less than 5
years from the date the payment would have otherwise been made. The Election Form
most recently accepted by the Committee prior to the 

19

 

	 	 	 	Participant’s death shall
govern the payout for that year of the Participant’s Pre-Retirement Survivor
Benefit. If a Participant does not make any election with respect to the payment of
the Pre-Retirement Survivor Benefit for any year, then such benefit shall be paid in
a lump sum. Despite the foregoing, if the Participant’s Account Balance at the time
of his or her death is less than $25,000, payment of the Pre-Retirement Survivor
Benefit for all years that are Post-2004 Deferral Amounts shall be made in a lump
sum. The lump sum payment shall be made within ninety (90) days after termination
of employment. Any payment made shall be subject to the Deduction Limitation. In
no event will payments commence prior to such time as the Committee is provided with
proof satisfactory to the Committee of the Participant’s Death.

Benefit that is attributable to Pre-2005 Deferral Amounts at the time of his or her
Termination of Employment is less than $25,000, payment of that portion of his or her
Termination Benefit shall be paid in a lump sum. If the vested portion of the
Termination Benefit that is attributable to Pre-2005 Deferral Amounts at such time is
equal to or greater than that amount, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may cause
the Termination Benefit to be paid in a lump sum or in substantially equal annual
installment payments over a period of time that does not exceed five years in duration.
The payment of the Termination Benefit shall be made, or installment payments shall
commence, during the month of January following Termination of Employment. The
Committee, in its sole discretion, may accelerate commencement of the portion of the
Termination Benefit that is attributable to Pre-2005 Deferral Amounts. Any payment
made shall be subject to the Deduction Limitation.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Post-2004 Deferral Amounts. The portion of the Termination Benefit
that is attributable to Post-2004 Deferral Amounts shall be paid in a lump sum, during
the month of January following Termination of Employment, except that the portion of

ARTICLE 8

Disability Waiver and Benefit

	8.1	 	Disability Waiver.

	 	(a)	 	Waiver of Deferral. A Participant who is determined by the Committee
to be suffering from a Disability shall be excused from fulfilling that portion of the
Annual Deferral Amount commitment that would otherwise have been withheld from a
Participant’s Base Annual Salary and Annual Bonus for the Plan Year during which the
Participant first suffers a Disability. During the period of Disability, the
Participant shall not be allowed to make any additional deferral elections, but will
continue to be considered a Participant for all other purposes of this Plan.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Return to Work. If a Participant returns to employment with an
Employer after a Disability ceases, the Participant may elect to defer an Annual
Deferral Amount for the Plan Year following his or her return to employment or service
and for every Plan Year thereafter while a Participant in the Plan; provided such
deferral elections are otherwise allowed and an Election Form is delivered to and
accepted by the Committee for each such election in accordance with Section 3.3 above.

	8.2	 	Continued Eligibility; Disability Benefit. A Participant suffering a Disability
shall, for benefit purposes under this Plan, continue to be considered to be employed and
shall be eligible for the benefits provided for in Articles 4, 5, 6 or 7 in accordance with
the provisions of those Articles. Notwithstanding the above, with respect to the portion of
the benefit that is attributable to Pre-2005 Deferral Amounts, the Committee shall have the
right to, in its sole and absolute discretion and for purposes of this Plan only, and must in
the case of a Participant who is otherwise eligible to Retire, deem the Participant to have
experienced a Termination of Employment, or in the case of a Participant who is eligible to
Retire, to have Retired, at any time (or in the case of a Participant who is eligible to
Retire, as soon as practicable) after such Participant is determined to be suffering a
Disability, in which case the Participant shall receive a Disability Benefit equal to his or
her Account Balance at the time of the Committee’s determination; provided, however, that
should the Participant otherwise have been eligible to Retire, he or she shall be paid in
accordance with Article 5. The Disability Benefit shall be paid in a lump sum within 60 days
of the Committee’s exercise of such right. Any payment made shall be subject to the Deduction
Limitation.

ARTICLE 9

Beneficiary Designation

	9.1	 	Beneficiary. Each Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate his or
her Beneficiary(ies) (both primary as well as contingent) to receive any benefits payable
under the Plan to a beneficiary upon the death of a Participant. The Beneficiary designated
under this Plan may be the same as or different from the Beneficiary designation under any
other plan of an Employer in which the Participant participates.

	9.2	 	Beneficiary Designation; Change. A Participant shall designate his or her
Beneficiary by completing and signing the Beneficiary Designation Form, and returning it to
the Committee or its designated agent. A Participant shall have the right to change a
Beneficiary by completing, signing and otherwise complying with the terms of the Beneficiary
Designation Form and the Committee’s rules and procedures, as in effect from time to time.
Upon the acceptance by the Committee of a new Beneficiary Designation Form, all Beneficiary
designations previously filed shall be canceled. The Committee shall be entitled to rely on
the last Beneficiary Designation Form filed by the Participant and accepted by the Committee
prior to his or her death.

	9.3	 	Acknowledgment. No designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary shall be
effective until received and acknowledged in writing by the Committee or its designated agent.

	9.4	 	No Beneficiary Designation. If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary as
provided in Sections 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3 above or, if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the
Participant or die prior to complete distribution of the Participant’s benefits, then the
Participant’s designated Beneficiary shall be deemed to be his or her surviving spouse. If
the Participant has no surviving spouse, the benefits remaining under the Plan to be paid to a
Beneficiary shall be payable to the then living issue of the Participant per stirpes and, if
there is no such issue, to the Participant’s estate.

	9.5	 	Doubt as to Beneficiary. If the Committee has any doubt as to the proper Beneficiary
to receive payments pursuant to this Plan, the Committee shall have the right, exercisable in
its discretion, to cause the Participant’s Employer to withhold such payments until this
matter is resolved to the Committee’s satisfaction.

	9.6	 	Discharge of Obligations. The payment of benefits under the Plan to a Beneficiary
shall fully and completely discharge all Employers and the Committee from all further
obligations under this Plan with respect to the Participant, and that Participant’s Plan
Agreement shall terminate upon such full payment of benefits.

23

 

ARTICLE 10

Leave of Absence

	10.1	 	Paid Leave of Absence. If a Participant is authorized by the Participant’s Employer
for any reason to take a paid leave of absence from the employment of the Employer, the
Participant shall continue to be considered employed by the Employer and the Annual Deferral
Amount shall continue to be withheld during such paid leave of absence in accordance with
Section 3.4.

	10.2	 	Unpaid Leave of Absence. If a Participant is authorized by the Participant’s
Employer for any reason to take an unpaid leave of absence from the employment of the
Employer, the Participant shall continue to be considered employed by the Employer and the
Participant shall be excused from making deferrals until the earlier of the date the leave of
absence expires or the Participant returns to a paid employment status. Upon such expiration
or return, deferrals shall resume for the remaining portion of the Plan Year in which the
expiration or return occurs, based on the deferral election, if any, made for that Plan Year.
If no election was made for that Plan Year, no deferral shall be withheld.

ARTICLE 11

Termination, Amendment or Modification

	11.1	 	Termination. Although the Company anticipates that it will continue the Plan for an
indefinite period of time, there is no guarantee that the Company will continue the Plan or
will not terminate the Plan at any time in the future. Accordingly, the Company reserves the
right to terminate the Plan at any time with respect to any or all of its participating
Employees, by action of its board of directors or any duly authorized committee thereof. Upon
the termination of the Plan, the Plan Agreements of the affected Participants shall terminate
and their Account Balances, determined as if they had experienced a Termination of Employment
on the date of Plan termination or, if Plan termination occurs after the date upon which a
Participant was eligible to Retire, then with respect to that Participant as if he or she had
Retired on the date of Plan termination, shall be paid to the Participants as follows:

     (a) With respect to the Pre-2005 Deferral Amounts, if the Plan is terminated, the
Company, prior to a Change of Control, shall have the right, in its sole discretion, and
notwithstanding any elections made by the Participant, to pay such benefits in a lump sum or
pursuant to an Annual Installment Method of up to 15 years, with amounts credited and
debited during the installment period as provided herein. If the Plan is terminated with
respect to less than all of its Participants, the Company shall be required to pay such
benefits in a lump sum. After a Change in Control, the Employer shall be required to pay
such benefits in a lump sum. The termination of the Plan shall not adversely affect any
Participant or Beneficiary who has become entitled to the payment of any benefits under the
Plan as of the date of termination; provided however, that the Employer shall have the right
to accelerate installment payments without a premium or prepayment penalty by paying the
Account Balance in a lump sum or pursuant to an Annual Installment Method using fewer years
(provided that the present value of all payments that will have been received by a
Participant at any given point of time under the different payment schedule shall equal or
exceed the present value of all payments that would have been received at that point in time
under the original payment schedule).

     (b) With respect to Post-2004 Deferral Amounts, the Company may only pay such benefits
to Participant as pursuant to Articles 4 through 8 hereof; except that the Company may
accelerate the time of payment under the Plan of that portion of the Participants’ Account
Balances that are attributable to Post-2004 Deferral Amounts in connection with one of the
following:

(i) The termination of the Plan within 12 months of a corporate dissolution under
section 331 of the Code, or with the approval of a bankruptcy court, provided that
the amounts payable to the Participants under the Plan are included in the
Participants’ gross incomes in the calendar year in which the plan termination
occurs, or in the first calendar year thereafter in which payment is
administratively practicable.

25

 

(ii) The termination of the Plan within the 30 days preceding or the 12 months
following a Change of Control, as defined in Section 1.10 above, provided
that the Hasbro, Inc. Supplemental Benefits Retirement Plan and all other
agreements, programs, plans and other arrangements that must be aggregated as a
single plan under the Section 1.409A-1(c) (2) of the Income Tax Regulations are also
terminated and the Participants under the Plan are required to include the such
distributions in their gross incomes within 12 months thereafter.

(iii) The termination of the Plan does not occur proximate to a downturn in the
financial health of the Company, provided that the Hasbro, Inc. Supplemental
Benefits Retirement Plan, and that all other agreements, programs, plans and other
arrangements that must be aggregated as a single plan under the Section 1.409A-1(c)
(2) of the Income Tax Regulations are also terminated, no payments are made within
12 months of the date the Plan is terminated, the Participants under the Plan are
required to include the such distributions in their gross incomes within 24 months
after the date of termination, and the Company does not adopt any new plan of
deferred compensation that would be aggregated with the terminated plan under
Section 1.409A-1(c) within three years following the date of termination.

	11.2	 	Amendment. The Company may, at any time, amend or modify the Plan in whole or in
part by the action of its board of directors or any duly authorized committee thereof;
provided, however, that no amendment or modification shall be effective to decrease or
restrict the value of a Participant’s Account Balance in existence at the time the amendment
or modification is made, calculated as if the Participant had experienced a Termination of
Employment as of the effective date of the amendment or modification or, if the amendment or
modification occurs after the date upon which the Participant was eligible to Retire, the
Participant had Retired as of the effective date of the amendment or modification. The
amendment or modification of the Plan shall not affect any Participant or Beneficiary who has
become entitled to the payment of benefits under the Plan as of the date of the amendment or
modification; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to accelerate
installment payments by paying the Account Balance in a lump sum or pursuant to an Annual
Installment Method using fewer years (provided that the present value of all payments that
will have been received by a Participant at any given point of time under the different
payment schedule shall equal or exceed the present value of all payments that would have been
received at that point in time under the original payment schedule), except that any such
acceleration that relates to the Post-2005 Deferral Amounts shall comply with the limitations
under Section 409A of the Code.

	11.3	 	Plan Agreement. Despite the provisions of Sections 11.1 and 11.2 above, if a
Participant’s Plan Agreement contains benefits or limitations that are not in this

26

 

	 	 	 	  Plan
document, the Company may only amend or terminate such provisions with the consent of the
Participant.

	11.4	 	Effect of Payment. The full payment of the applicable benefit under Articles 4, 5,
6, 7 or 8 of the Plan shall completely discharge all obligations to a Participant and his or
her designated Beneficiaries under this Plan and the Participant’s Plan Agreement shall
terminate.

27

meaning of Code Section 401(a) and that “is unfunded and is maintained by an employer
primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management
or highly compensated employee” within the meaning of ERISA Sections 201(2), 301(a) (3) and
401(a)(1). The Plan shall be administered and interpreted to the extent possible in a manner
consistent with that intent.

	16.2	 	Unsecured General Creditor. Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors
and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, interests or claims in any property or
assets of the Company or the Employer. For purposes of the payment of benefits under this
Plan, any and all of the Company’s assets or the Employer’s assets shall be, and remain, the
general, unpledged unrestricted assets of the Company and the Employer. The Company and each
Employer’s obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise
to pay money in the future.

	16.3	 	Employer’s Liability. The Company and the Employer’s liability for the payment of
benefits shall be defined only by the Plan and the Plan Agreement, as entered into between the
Company, and/or the Employer and a Participant. The Company and the Employer shall have no
obligation to a Participant under the Plan except as expressly provided in the Plan and his or
her Plan Agreement.

	16.4	 	Nonassignability. Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have any right to
commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber, transfer,
hypothecate, alienate or convey in advance of actual receipt, the amounts, if any, payable
hereunder, or any part thereof, which are, and all rights to which are expressly declared to
be, unassignable and non-transferable. No part of the amounts payable shall, prior to actual
payment, be subject to seizure, attachment, garnishment or sequestration for the payment of
any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other
person, be transferable by operation of law in the event of a Participant’s or any other
person’s bankruptcy or insolvency or be transferable to a spouse as a result of a property
settlement or otherwise.

33

 

	16.5	 	Not a Contract of Employment. The terms and conditions of this Plan shall not be
deemed to constitute a contract of employment between the Company and/ or any Employer and the
Participant. Such employment is hereby acknowledged to be an “at will” employment
relationship that can be terminated at any time for any reason, or no reason, with or without
cause, and with or without notice, unless expressly provided in a written employment
agreement. Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give a Participant the right to be
retained in the service of any Employer, either as an Employee or a Director, or to interfere
with the right of any Employer to discipline or discharge the Participant at any time.

	16.6	 	Furnishing Information. A Participant or his or her Beneficiary will cooperate with
the Committee by furnishing any and all information requested by the Committee and take such
other actions as may be requested in order to facilitate the administration of the Plan and
the payments of benefits hereunder, including but not limited to taking such physical
examinations as the Committee may deem necessary.

	16.7	 	Terms. Whenever any words are used herein in the masculine, they shall be construed
as though they were in the feminine in all cases where they would so apply; and whenever any
words are used herein in the singular or in the plural, they shall be construed as though they
were used in the plural or the singular, as the case may be, in all cases where they would so
apply.

	16.8	 	Captions. The captions of the articles, sections and paragraphs of this Plan are for
convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of its
provisions.

	16.9	 	Governing Law. Subject to ERISA, the provisions of this Plan shall be construed and
interpreted according to the internal laws of the State of Rhode Island without regard to its
conflicts of laws principles.

	16.10	 	Notice. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Committee
under this Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or sent by registered or
certified mail, to the address below:

Pawtucket, RI 02862

Such notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by

	16.11	 	Successors. The provisions of this Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of the
Company and each Participant’s Employer and its successors and assigns and the Participant and
the Participant’s designated Beneficiaries.

	16.12	 	Validity. In case any provision of this Plan shall be illegal or invalid for any
reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this
Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been
inserted herein.

	16.13	 	Incompetent. If the Committee determines in its discretion that a benefit under
this Plan is to be paid to a minor, a person declared incompetent or to a person incapable of
handling the disposition of that person’s property, the Committee may direct payment of such
benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care and custody of such
minor, incompetent or incapable person. The Committee may require proof of minority,
incompetence, incapacity or guardianship, as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of
the benefit. Any payment of a benefit shall be a payment for the account of the Participant
and the Participant’s Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a complete discharge of
any liability under the Plan for such payment amount.

	16.14	 	Distribution in the Event of Taxation.

	 	    (a)	 	In General. If, for any reason, all or any portion of a Participant’s
benefits under this Plan becomes taxable to the Participant prior to receipt, a
Participant may petition the Committee before a Change in Control, or the trustee of
the Trust after a Change in Control, for a distribution of that portion of his or her
benefit that has become taxable. Upon the grant of such a petition, which grant shall
not be unreasonably withheld (and, after a Change in Control, shall be granted), the
Company shall distribute to the Participant immediately available funds in an amount
equal to the taxable portion of his or her benefit (which amount shall not exceed a
Participant’s unpaid Account Balance under the Plan). If the petition is granted, the
tax liability distribution shall be made within 90 days of the date when the
Participant’s petition is granted. Such a distribution shall affect and reduce the
benefits to be paid under this Plan. However, on or after January 1, 2005 no amount
shall be distributed upon an event of taxation, from the Pre-2005 Deferral Amounts,
except for amounts that are required to be included in income as a result of the
failure of the Plan to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
	 
	 	    (b)	 	Trust. If the Trust terminates in accordance with Section 3.6(e) of
the Trust and benefits are distributed from the Trust to a Participant in accordance
with that Section, the Participant’s benefits under this Plan shall be reduced to the
extent of such distributions.

	16.15	 	Insurance. The Company, on its own behalf or on behalf of the trustee of the Trust,
and, in their sole discretion, may apply for and procure insurance on the life

35

 

of the
Participant, in such amounts and in such forms as the Trust may choose. The Company or the
trustee of the Trust, as the case may be, shall be the sole owner and beneficiary of any such
insurance. The Participant shall have no interest whatsoever in any such policy or policies,
and at the request of the Company shall submit to medical examinations and supply such
information and execute such documents as may be required by the insurance company or
companies to whom the Company has applied for insurance.

	16.16	 	Legal Fees to Enforce Rights After Change in Control. The Company and each Employer
is aware that upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Board or the board of directors
of a Participant’s Employer (which might then be composed of new members) or a shareholder of
the Company or the Participant’s Employer, or of any successor corporation might then cause or
attempt to cause the Company, the Participant’s Employer or such successor to refuse to comply
with its obligations under the Plan and might cause or attempt to cause the Company or the
Participant’s Employer to institute, or may institute, litigation seeking to deny Participants
the benefits intended under the Plan. In these circumstances, the purpose of the Plan could
be frustrated. Accordingly, if, following a Change in Control, it should appear to any
Participant that the Company, the Participant’s Employer or any successor corporation has
failed to comply with any of its obligations under the Plan or any agreement thereunder or, if
the Company, such Employer or any other person takes any action to declare the Plan void or
unenforceable or institutes any litigation or other legal action designed to deny, diminish or
to recover from any Participant the benefits intended to be provided, then the Company and the
Participant’s Employer irrevocably authorize such Participant to retain counsel of his or her
choice at the expense of the Company and the Participant’s Employer (who shall be jointly and
severally liable) to represent such Participant in connection with the initiation or defense
of any litigation or other legal action, whether by or against the Company, the Participant’s
Employer or any director, officer, shareholder or other person affiliated with the Company,
the Participant’s Employer or any successor thereto in any jurisdiction.

             IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this amendment and restatement to be executed by
its duly authorized officer on December 18, 2008.
