(1) The option was granted pursuant to the Mattel, Inc. 2005 Equity Compensation Plan (the "2005 Plan"). The option is immediately vested in full.
(2) The Restricted Stock Units (the "RSUs" or the "Units") were granted on May 18, 2007 pursuant to the 2005 Plan.

The RSUs are accompanied by dividend equivalent rights.
(3) The RSUs vest on the earlier of (a) the day before the third annual meeting of Mattel's stockholders that occurs after the grant date or (b) the third anniversary of the grant date. On the vesting date, the reporting person will receive one share of Common Stock for each Unit (or, at the election of Mattel, Inc., a cash amount equal to the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the date of vesting).
(4) Distributions from Mr. Scarborough's phantom stock account will be in the form of shares of Mattel common stock equal in value to the value of the phantom stock account.
(5) The phantom stock units will be settled in Mattel common stock after Mr. Scarborough ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors of Mattel.
