AGREEMENT, made effective as of _________________, by and between HASBRO, INC., a Rhode Island corporation (the "Company") and ______________, an individual residing at ________________________________ (the "Participant").


WHEREAS, the Participant is eligible to participate in the Company's 2003 Stock Incentive Performance Plan, as amended (the "Plan"), and


WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"), acting in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, granted to Participant a contingent stock performance award dated _________________ designed to reward the Participant for the Participant’s efforts in contributing to the Company’s achievement of certain stated financial goals, and


WHEREAS, the stock performance award provides the Participant with the ability to earn shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.50 per share (the "Common Stock"), contingent on the Company’s performance in achieving pre-established cumulative diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) and cumulative net revenue (“Revenues”) performance targets over the period beginning on _____________ and ending on _____________ (the “Performance Period”), subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and as hereinafter set forth.


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:


W I T N E S S E T H:


1.


The Company confirms the grant by the Committee to the Participant on __________________, and pursuant to the Plan, a copy of which is annexed hereto as Appendix A and the provisions of which are incorporated herein as if set forth in full, of a contingent stock performance award (the “Award”) subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and the additional terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.  The Award is evidenced by this Agreement.  In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. Terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.


2.


This Agreement relates to an Award providing the Participant with the potential ability to earn shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.50 per share (the "Common Stock"), contingent on the Company’s performance in achieving its pre-established EPS and Revenues targets over the Performance Period.  The EPS and Revenues targets for the Performance Period are set forth below:




EPS


$[_____________]


Revenues


$[_____________]




Except as is otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Participant shall not have any ability to receive any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Award until the Performance Period is completed.  Following the end of the Performance Period, the Committee will determine the Company’s EPS and Revenues over the Performance Period.  The Committee will certify the Company’s EPS and Revenues over the Performance Period as promptly as is reasonably possible following the completion of the Performance Period, but in no event later than 75 days following the completion of the Performance Period.


3.


For purposes of this Award, the Company’s EPS and Revenues over the Performance Period will be computed on a consolidated basis in the same manner used by the Company in computing its consolidated financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), except for the following deviations from GAAP: (i) EPS and Revenues will be computed excluding the impact of any changes in accounting rules that are effective after the date of this Agreement and which impact the Company’s reported net earnings or Revenues results by $10,000,000 or more in any fiscal year during the Performance Period, (ii) EPS and Revenues will exclude the impact of any acquisitions or dispositions consummated by the Company during the Performance Period which have either a total acquisition price, or total sale price, respectively, of $100 million or more, as such acquisition price or sales price is determined in good faith by the Committee, (iii) EPS and Revenues will be calculated excluding the impact of any  restructuring activities undertaken by the Company after the date of this Agreement which result in costs or charges to the Company of $10,000,000 or more in any fiscal year during the Performance Period, and (iv) EPS and Revenues will be calculated based on actual results translated at  exchange rates established at the beginning of  the Performance Period.


4.


The target number of shares of Common Stock which may be issuable under this Award in the event of 100% achievement of the pre-established EPS and Revenues measures over the Performance Period is ________________ (          ) (the “Target Shares”).  The following table sets forth the contingent number of shares of Common Stock which the Participant may actually earn under this Award, as a percentage of the Target Shares, based upon certain performances by the Company in achieving the EPS and Revenues targets.  It is understood and agreed by the Participant, however, that the Committee retains sole and absolute discretion in all cases to reduce the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, to actually be delivered to the Participant to any number, below the number of shares otherwise called for under this Award, as the Committee may deem appropriate.  To compute the actual number of shares of Common Stock, if any, which may be earned by the Participant (prior to any reduction in such number by the Committee) the respective EPS and Revenues performances of the Company, as certified by the Committee following completion of the Performance Period, are applied to the following table.   The appropriate box in the table corresponding with the actual EPS and Revenues performance, as so certified by the Committee, sets forth the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, as a percentage of the Target Shares, which may be earned by the Participant over the Performance Period.
