Re: Amendment to Your Employment Agreement
--------------------------------------
Dear ▇▇▇▇▇:
Pursuant to action taken by Mattel's Compensation/Options Committee on
March 5, 2002, this letter agreement constitutes an amendment to your Amended
and Restated Executive Employment Agreement (the "Employment Agreement") with
Mattel.
Each of Section 5(d)(vi) and Section 5(e)(vi) of your Employment
Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
"(vi) If the Executive is a participant in the Mattel Supplemental
Executive Retirement Plan (the "SERP"), the Mattel Deferred Compensation Plan or
the Mattel Retiree Medical Plan, the Executive shall be given credit for three
years of service (in addition to actual service) and for three years of attained
age to be added to the Executive's actual age for purposes of computing any
service and age-related benefits for which the Executive is eligible under such
plans. Further, notwithstanding the terms of the SERP to the contrary, with
regard to computing the Executive's benefit under the SERP, the normal
retirement benefit formula shall be 35% of the sum of (a) the average of the
Executive's final three years of annual Base Salary (including the calendar year
in which the Date of Termination occurs, on an annualized basis) and (b) the
average of the greatest two out of the three most recent annual bonuses received
by the Executive under the MIP or any successor annual bonus plan."
I would appreciate it if you would sign, date and return a copy of
this letter agreement to me. As such, it will constitute a written amendment to
your Employment Agreement.
Sincerely yours,
MATTEL, INC.
