Chief Executive Officer

THIS PROXY STATEMENT AND THE ACCOMPANYING PROXY ARE BEING DISTRIBUTED TO SHAREHOLDERS ON OR ABOUT APRIL 18, 2008.

ALL SHAREHOLDERS ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO ATTEND THE ANNUAL MEETING. WHETHER OR NOT YOU INTEND TO BE PRESENT, PLEASE COMPLETE, DATE, SIGN AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY CARD IN THE STAMPED AND ADDRESSED ENVELOPE ENCLOSED FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE. SHAREHOLDERS CAN HELP 4KIDS AVOID UNNECESSARY EXPENSE AND DELAY BY PROMPTLY RETURNING THE ENCLOSED PROXY CARD. THE BUSINESS OF THE MEETING TO BE ACTED UPON BY THE SHAREHOLDERS CANNOT BE TRANSACTED UNLESS ONE-THIRD OF THE OUTSTANDING SHARES OF 4KIDS’ COMMON STOCK ARE REPRESENTED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING.

PROXY STATEMENT

This Proxy Statement (the “Proxy Statement”) is being furnished to the shareholders of 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. (“4Kids” or the “Company”), a New York corporation, in connection with the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of 4Kids (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held at 10 a.m. (Eastern Time) on Tuesday, May 20, 2008, at JP Morgan Chase, 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York, Room C on the 11th Floor. Accompanying this Proxy Statement is a notice of such Annual Meeting, a form of proxy solicited by the 4Kids Board of Directors and the Company’s Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 (the “Annual Report”). This Proxy Statement, the accompanying proxy and the Annual Report were first mailed to shareholders on or about April 18, 2008. Audited financial statements of 4Kids for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 are contained in the Annual Report. The Annual Report is not incorporated in this Proxy Statement and is not deemed to be a part of the proxy solicitation material.

VOTING RIGHTS AND SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

Proxies in the accompanying form which are properly executed and duly returned to 4Kids and not revoked prior to the voting at the Annual Meeting will be voted as specified. If no contrary specification is made and if not designated as broker non-votes, the shares of common stock of 4Kids, par value $.01 per share, represented by the enclosed proxy will be voted FOR the election of the nominees for director (Proposal 1), FOR the ratification of the appointment of Eisner LLP as auditors (Proposal 2) and FOR the approval of the 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. 2008 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (Proposal 3). In addition, the shares of common stock represented by the enclosed proxy will be voted by either of the persons named therein, in such person’s discretion, with respect to any other business which may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponements thereof. Any shareholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time prior to the voting by filing with the Secretary of 4Kids a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on April 10, 2008 as the record date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. The holders of one-third of the voting power of all issued and outstanding shares of common stock present in person, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Assuming the presence of a quorum, the affirmative vote by the holders of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is necessary to approve Proposals 2 and 3. The affirmative vote by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is required for the election of directors (Proposal 1).

On April 10, 2008, the record date for the Annual Meeting, 4Kids had 13,096,723 shares of common stock outstanding. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter to come before the Annual Meeting. There is no cumulative voting. Votes shall be counted by 4Kids’ transfer agent.

Shares represented by proxies designated as broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining a quorum. Broker non-votes occur when a broker nominee does not vote on one or more other matters at a meeting because it has not received instructions to so vote from the beneficial owner and does not have discretionary authority to so vote. Shares represented by proxies marked as abstentions will also be treated as present for purposes of

determining a quorum and for purposes of determining the outcome of a vote on any matter, but will not serve as a vote “for” or “against” any matter. Shares represented by proxies designated as broker non-votes, however, will not be treated as present for purposes of determining the outcome of a vote on any matter.

Expenses

All expenses in connection with solicitation of proxies will be borne by 4Kids. Officers and regular employees of 4Kids may solicit proxies by personal interview, telephone and telegraph. Brokerage houses, banks and custodians, nominees and fiduciaries will be reimbursed for out-of-pocket and reasonable expenses incurred in forwarding proxies and the Proxy Statement. Georgeson Inc. has been engaged to assist in the solicitation of proxies, brokers, nominees, fiduciaries and other custodians. 4Kids will pay Georgeson Inc. approximately $7,000 for its services and reimburse its out-of-pocket expenses.

PROPOSAL 1 - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The directors are elected annually by the shareholders of 4Kids. The 4Kids By-laws provide that the number of directors shall not be less than three nor more than seven unless and until otherwise determined by vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors. In accordance therewith, a total of six persons have been designated by the Board of Directors upon the recommendation of the 4Kids Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee as nominees and are being presented to the shareholders for election at the Annual Meeting. The directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting.

• Richard Block

• Michael Goldstein

• Samuel R. Newborn

• Jay Emmett

• Alfred R. Kahn

• Randy O. Rissman

The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote FOR the director nominees named above, and, unless a shareholder gives instructions on the proxy card to the contrary or a broker non-vote is indicated on the proxy card, the appointees named thereon intend so to vote. All of the nominees have consented to serve as directors, if elected. If, at the time of the Annual Meeting, any nominee is unable or declines to serve, the proxies may be voted for the election of such other person or persons as the remaining members of the Board of Directors may recommend.

All of the directors attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and committees on which he serves since the date of his appointment.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) currently consists of Mr. Goldstein, who serves as the Chairman, and Messrs. Block, Emmett and Rissman.

(i)

the quality and integrity of 4Kids’ financial reports;

The Board of Directors has determined that one of the Committee’s members, Mr. Goldstein, qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Mr. Goldstein is a member of the audit committee of three other public companies. The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Goldstein’s

service on the other audit committees does not impair his ability to serve effectively on the Company’s Audit Committee.

The Compensation Committee met four times during fiscal 2007 and met one time subsequent to December 31, 2007, but before the filing of 4Kids’ Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Compensation Committee’s report is included on page 20 of this Proxy Statement.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Nominating Committee”) currently consists of Mr. Block, who serves as the Chairman, and Messrs. Emmett and Goldstein. The Nominating Committee assists the Board of Directors in:

(i)

identifying individuals qualified to become members of the Board of Directors;

assessing the skills, background and abilities of each candidate;

(iii)

assisting in assessing the independence of members of the Board of Directors; and

(iv)

recommending the director nominees to be proposed for election at the annual meeting of shareholders.

The Nominating Committee has not adopted specific minimum qualifications with respect to its nominees, but assesses the overall qualifications of nominees including, among other things, the employment and other professional experience of the candidate, the candidate’s past expertise and involvement in areas which are of relevance to the Company’s business, the candidate’s business ethics and professional reputation and independence. The Nominating Committee evaluates candidates using these criteria and such other criteria it deems appropriate in recommending qualified candidates for nomination to the Board of Directors.

The Nominating Committee met one time during fiscal 2007 and one time subsequent to December 31, 2007, but before the filing of the 4Kids’ Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Nominating Committee does not solicit director nominations but will consider recommendations by shareholders sent to the Secretary of 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. at 1414 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10019. No formal procedures are required to be followed by shareholders in submitting such recommendations. Candidates proposed by shareholders will be considered by the Nominating Committee in substantially the same manner as other nominees.

Independence of Directors

The New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") has implemented independence standards for companies listed on the NYSE. These standards require a majority of our Board of Directors to be independent and every member of our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating Committee to be independent. A director is considered independent only if our Board of Directors "affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with the listed company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder, or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company)."

Our Board of Directors, using the standards established by the NYSE, has determined that the following directors are independent: Richard Block, Jay Emmett, Michael Goldstein and Randy O. Rissman. In addition, our Board of Directors has determined that each of the members of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating Committees are “independent”.

Our Audit, Compensation and Nominating Committees each operate under written charters adopted by the Board of Directors. These charters are available for review, free of charge, on 4Kids’ website at www.4kidsentertainment.com. In addition, a printed copy of the charters of the Board Committees will be provided to any of our shareholders who submit a request therefor to the Secretary of 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. at 1414 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10019.

Communications with the Board of Directors

Shareholders or other interested parties may communicate directly with any presiding director, committee member or the non-management directors as a group by writing to 4Kids Entertainment, Inc.'s Secretary at the following address: 4Kids Entertainment, Inc., 1414 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10019. The Secretary has been directed to forward all relevant correspondence to the relevant director, committee member or group of directors.

Attendance at Annual Meetings

4Kids encourages all incumbent directors and nominees for election as director to attend the Annual Meeting. Each of Messrs. Block, Emmett, Goldstein, Kahn, and Newborn attended the Annual Meeting in May 2007.

Executive Sessions of Non-Employee, Non-Management Directors

Non-employee, non-management board members meet without management present at each regularly scheduled board meeting. During the non-management director sessions, the presiding director is determined by the committee session under which the meeting is being held or the agenda item being discussed. Accordingly, the Audit Committee Chair presides at the Audit Committee non-management director sessions, the Compensation Committee Chair presides at the Compensation Committee non-management director sessions and the Nominating/Corporate Governance Chair presides at the Nominating/Corporate Governance non-management director sessions.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

The NYSE rules require listed companies to adopt corporate governance guidelines. 4Kids has adopted such guidelines which are available for review, free of charge, on 4Kids’ website at www.4kidsentertainment.com . In addition, a printed copy of our corporate governance guidelines will be provided to any of our shareholders who submit a request therefor to the Secretary of 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. at 1414 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10019.

Code of Ethics

We have a code of ethics that applies to all of our employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. A copy of our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct is available for review, free of charge, on our website at www.4kidsentertainment.com . In addition, a printed copy of our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct will be provided to any of our shareholders who submit a request therefor to the Secretary of 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. at 1414 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10019.

COMPENSATION OF NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

Our Compensation Committee (for purposes of this discussion, the “Committee”) is responsible for establishing, implementing and continually monitoring the compensation structure of our Company. The Committee’s goal is to ensure that the total compensation packages for our named executive officers (“NEOs”) are fair, reasonable and competitive.

The compensation arrangements for our NEOs are designed to satisfy two core objectives:

• retain, motivate and attract executives of the highest quality in key positions in the various business segments of our company; and

• align the interests of the NEOs with those of our stockholders by rewarding performance above our established goals, with the ultimate objective of improving stockholder value.

Our NEO compensation packages currently consist of base salary, discretionary cash bonuses, equity incentive compensation and other benefits which are intended to provide our NEOs with aggregate compensation packages that satisfy the core objectives set forth above. The payment of discretionary cash bonuses is based principally on achieving or exceeding our financial objectives along with successful implementation of initiatives that position us for future growth and increased stockholder value. At this time, other than for Mr. Kahn, we do not provide NEOs with any supplemental retirement benefits, qualified pension plans or deferred compensation plans other than the 401(k) plan to which the NEOs may contribute.

Our compensation philosophy is driven in large part by the fact that we are in the highly competitive entertainment industry where we must compete with companies that have substantially greater financial resources. We recognize that our need to be competitive with other firms in our industry must be balanced with the interests of our shareholders. We strive to meet this balance and arrive at appropriate compensation packages by carefully weighing both the marketplace realities that dictate the levels of compensation for entertainment company executives and the financial positions of companies of a similar size and global scope.

We also believe that the long-term success of our Company requires that our NEOs make decisions that in the short-term may not contribute to our financial performance, but will prepare our Company for the future and position us to participate in the changing trends of the children’s entertainment and licensing business. We, therefore, do not look solely at short-term financial achievements in determining appropriate compensation for our NEOs but take into account their long-range planning.

At the beginning of each year, the Committee, in conjunction with our senior executives, identifies a set of financial goals and strategic objectives for the upcoming year. The nature of our business is such that our financial performance may fluctuate from year to year based upon the success of properties represented by our Company, releases by licensees of products based on those properties, releases of theatrical motion pictures or DVDs based on such properties, and the lifecycle of our popular properties. In establishing financial goals and objectives, the Committee takes into account strategic decisions made by our NEOs that may not generate profits in the near term but are important for the future growth of our Company. The goals and objectives established by the Committee attempt to create an appropriate balance between being reasonably achievable, and thereby motivating our NEOs. While these goals and objectives target improved performance, they are also selected to require sustained performance and results from senior management that are not easily achievable without extra effort from each individual. The Committee also assesses the performance of each of our NEOs on an individual basis, determining whether they have contributed substantially to our current or future results. Each of these different performance measures are weighed by the Committee in determining the overall compensation package for our NEOs.

Any single performance measure and its goal are not likely to be deemed material to the overall determination of compensation, since it is only one of the many measures and goals used by the Committee in determining overall incentive compensation. The Committee does not publish specific goals or targets for the financial measures since they are confidential information which, if disclosed, would create substantial competitive harm to the Company. For example, disclosure of the specific goals would signal where the Company is shifting strategic focus, giving our competitors unfair insight into our strategic plans, and impairing the Company’s ability to leverage these actions for competitive advantage.

The Committee also attempts to ensure that compensation provided to our NEOs remains competitive relative to the compensation paid to similarly situated executives of our peer companies. In order to assist the Committee in determining the appropriate basis of compensation for our NEOs in 2006, our Committee retained the services of executive compensation consultant Frederick W. Cook & Co. (“Cook”) to assist with the evaluation and structuring of executive compensation. Cook has provided the Committee with comparative data with respect to the salaries, cash bonuses and equity incentive compensation paid by companies within our peer group to their executives. In addition, our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and

other senior officers assist the Committee in analyzing our general compensation policies. Our CEO also consults with the Committee regarding the aggregate compensation to be paid to other executive officers. This process assists the Committee in determining how to utilize the elements of the compensation package to best motivate our NEOs and to ensure the satisfaction of our short and long-term business goals.

With respect to individual NEOs, we compare the total target annual compensation opportunities for our NEOs to target opportunities for similar positions at comparable companies. These benchmarks are a gauge for evaluating market competitiveness, but do not weigh any greater than other key factors noted above when making compensation decisions. For example, individual NEOs may have higher or lower target compensation levels compared to market medians based on level of responsibility, individual experience and skills, performance trends, competitive dynamics, retention needs and internal equity considerations.

The discussion below addresses the principal elements of our NEO compensation. Please also consult the compensation tables beginning on page 17 for more detailed information.

Base Salary

We establish base salaries that are sufficient, in the Committee’s judgment, to retain and motivate our NEOs. In determining appropriate salaries, the Committee considers each NEO’s scope of responsibility and accountability within our Company and reviews the NEO’s compensation, individually and relative to other officers, as well as market data provided by our outside consultants.

Discretionary Cash Bonuses

The Committee believes that discretionary cash bonus compensation for NEOs should be directly linked to our overall corporate financial performance, individual performance and our success in achieving both our short-term and long-term strategic goals. In assessing the performance of our Company and our NEOs during 2007, the Committee considered our performance in the following areas:

• Sustaining the performance of our core properties;

• Identifying and developing future properties;

• Distributing our content across additional channels of distribution;

• Continuing to reduce operating costs across our Company's various business segments;

• Developing new initiatives to respond to changing trends in the children's entertainment world; and

• Maintaining our reputation for integrity.

Our bonuses are structured to be deductible under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code which denies publicly-held corporations a federal income tax deduction for compensation in excess of $1 million paid to the CEO and the four other most highly

compensated officers during a fiscal year unless the compensation is “performance-based.” We believe that our process of awarding cash bonuses satisfies this requirement; however, there can be no assurance that any amounts paid as discretionary cash bonuses will be deductible.

Despite the continued efforts and the achievement of various individual objectives of our NEOs in 2007, we did not pay discretionary cash bonuses to them as a result of our lackluster financial performance in 2007. We do not expect to pay discretionary cash bonuses to our NEOs in 2008, unless our financial performance significantly improves or there are other performance related factors for individual NEOs that merit payment of a discretionary cash bonus for such individuals.

Equity Incentive Compensation

We believe that our equity incentive compensation arrangements are an important factor in developing an overall compensation program that is competitive with our peer group of companies and that aligns the interests of our NEOs with those of our stockholders.

Prior to fiscal year 2006, stock options were the only forms of equity compensation as incentive compensation paid by us for our NEOs and other employees, primarily because of the favorable tax treatment of such stock options to our Company and because we believed that stock options effectively aligned the long-term interests of management with our stockholders. Since NEOs do not benefit from stock options unless the price of our stock increases after the grant date as compared with the grant price, they clearly provide NEOs with an added incentive to build shareholder value. We have not in the past, re-priced the exercise price for stock options that have been granted when the future stock price has decreased below the exercise price of such stock options. In view of the unfavorable change in the accounting treatment for stock options, we began granting restricted stock to our NEOs in 2006. The date of our awards of stock options or restricted stock is established by the Committee at a meeting held approximately four to six weeks prior to the date of grant. Our restricted stock program for 2007 granted shares of our common stock to our NEOs as set forth in the compensation tables on page 18. Under the 2007 and 2006 restricted stock award programs implemented by the Committee, grants of restricted stock vest over a period of years in order to serve as an inducement for the NEOs to remain in the employ of our Company. It is contemplated that we will continue to offer restricted stock as the principal component of our equity compensation arrangement for our NEOs.

The number of shares of restricted stock awarded to our NEOs is established by the Committee in consultation with our CEO, taking into account a number of factors, including the position, job performance and overall responsibility of each NEO. Since the value of the restricted stock granted to our NEOs is based upon the market price of our shares, the Committee believes that the restricted stock program is a significant incentive to our NEOs to continue to build shareholder value. The Committee also believes that the multi-year vesting periods for the restricted stock will be helpful in linking equity compensation to long-term performance.

Stock Ownership

We do not currently have any stock ownership guidelines or requirements in place for our NEOs. However, we anticipate that the issuance of restricted shares to our NEOs and other executives will over time increase the number of shares of Company stock held by them. The

ownership of actual shares should further serve to align the interests of the NEOs and other executives with our stockholders.

401(k) Plan

We maintain a 401(k) plan for our NEOs and other employees. Our Company currently matches twenty-five percent of the first six percent of the employees’ contribution of salary to the 401(k) plan. For 2007, we contributed matching contributions of $13,500, in aggregate, to the 401(k) plan accounts of our NEOs.

Employment Agreements

In view of the competitive nature of the entertainment business and the greater financial resources of many of our competitors, the Committee believes that it is in our best interest to enter into employment agreements with our NEOs and other key executives. The following is a summary of our employment agreements with our NEOs.

On December 15, 2006, Alfred R. Kahn entered into a Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement pertaining to Mr. Kahn’s service as our Chairman of the Board and CEO (the “Kahn Agreement”). Under the Kahn Agreement, Mr. Kahn’s employment will continue until December 31, 2012. Thereafter, the term will be automatically extended for one year periods unless either our Company or Mr. Kahn provides written notice at least six months prior to the expiration of the then-current term that such party does not want to extend the term. Mr. Kahn’s annual base salary is $900,000 and he is eligible to receive salary increases, cash bonuses, and grants of equity compensation, determined at the sole discretion of the Committee.

The Kahn Agreement provides that in the event that (a) we notify Mr. Kahn at least six months prior to the end of the term of our intent not to extend the Agreement, unless we have “cause” to terminate him, as defined in the Kahn Agreement or (b) our Company and Mr. Kahn fail to reach an agreement after the expiration of the then-current term, Mr. Kahn will be entitled to receive a "Retirement Benefit" equal to the greater of (i) 2.99 times his average annual compensation during the five calendar years prior to the event triggering the payment of the Retirement Benefit (determined on the basis of the salary and all bonuses to which Mr. Kahn was entitled to receive during such period, without accounting for any waiver by Mr. Kahn of his right to receive any such amounts), and (ii) $5 million. The Retirement Benefit will be payable ratably over an 18 month period. In addition, he will be able to receive all group health benefits he was receiving at the date of termination of the Agreement to the extent permissible under such plans for three years following the expiration of the Agreement (the “Health Benefits”).

In the event that Mr. Kahn’s employment (a) terminates due to his death, Mr. Kahn’s estate will be entitled to receive the Retirement Benefit, payable in a lump sum within 90 days thereafter, (b) terminates due to his physical or mental disability, or by us without “cause”, he will be entitled to receive the Retirement Benefit, payable ratably over an 18 month period, and the Health Benefits, or (c) is terminated by Mr. Kahn within six months after the occurrence of a “Change In Control” or because of our material breach of the Agreement, Mr. Kahn will be entitled to receive the Retirement Benefit, payable in a lump sum upon the date of such termination, and the Health Benefits.

In the event that Mr. Kahn resigns, retires or otherwise voluntarily terminates his employment (“Resigns”), he will be entitled to receive (a) an amount equal to the “Special Retirement Benefit” and (b) the Health Benefits. If Mr. Kahn Resigns prior to his 62nd birthday, the Special Retirement Benefit will be an amount equal to his average annual compensation with respect to the five calendar years prior to the resignation (determined in the same manner as for the determination of the Retirement Benefit), payable ratably over one year. If Mr. Kahn Resigns after his 62nd birthday but before his 65th birthday, the Special Retirement Benefit will be an amount equal to twice the amount set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, payable over two years. If he Resigns after his 65th birthday, the Special Retirement Benefit will be equal to the Retirement Benefit, payable over three years.

In the event that any payment of the Retirement Benefit or the Special Retirement Benefit is (a) required to be made by our Company in installments, such installments will not begin to be paid during the first six months following the applicable termination date (the “Six Month Period”) and will instead during such period accrue (together with interest thereon at the Prime Rate of Citibank N.A. in effect from time to time during such period) and be paid in a lump sum payment at the end of the Six Month Period, or (b) payable in a lump sum which (together with interest thereon at the Prime Rate of Citibank N.A. in effect from time to time during such six month period) shall not be payable until the end of the Six Month Period, unless Mr. Kahn and our Company determine that, under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, additional taxes, and interest will not apply if such installments or lump sum are paid prior to the expiration of the Six Month Period.

The Kahn Agreement also contains a covenant not to compete which provides that he will not engage in competition with our Company for a period of 24 months following the date of termination of his employment as well as other customary covenants concerning non-disclosure of confidential information.

On January 9, 2006, Mr. Foster entered into an employment agreement to serve as our Executive Vice President and CFO, which was amended on January 30, 2007 and April 16, 2007. Under the terms of his employment agreement, as amended, Mr. Foster’s employment will continue until December 31, 2009. In 2007, Mr. Foster received a base salary of $550,000. In 2008, the Committee granted Mr. Foster a salary increase of $50,000 bringing his annual base salary to $600,000 in order to better align his salary with the other senior executives in our organization. Mr. Foster will continue to be entitled to this annual base salary of $600,000 through 2009, and will be eligible to receive salary increases at the sole discretion of the Committee and an annual cash bonus based upon quantitative and qualitative criteria to be established at the sole discretion of the Committee, in connection with our business plan, if any, for such fiscal year. If we terminate Mr. Foster without “cause” (as defined in his employment agreement), he will be entitled to receive his full salary, fringe benefits and Non-Extension Severance Benefit (as defined below) for the balance of the term of his agreement (the “Remaining Term Severance Benefit”); provided, that if such termination is within six months following a “Change of Control” (as defined in his agreement), he will be entitled to receive the greater of his Remaining Term Severance Benefit and his Change of Control Severance Benefit (as defined below). In the event that Mr. Foster’s agreement is not extended beyond its term for at least one year on at least the same terms and conditions as were in effect in 2009, he will be entitled to receive a severance benefit equal to three weeks of his base salary (as of the last calendar year of employment) for each year of employment with us (“Non-Extension Severance Benefit”). If Mr. Foster’s employment terminates due to his death or disability, he will be

entitled to receive his salary and fringe benefits through the date of termination. Mr. Foster has the right to terminate his agreement within six months after the occurrence of a Change of Control, and to receive a payment equal to 2.99 times his average annual compensation (including bonuses), if any, paid by our Company during the three calendar years prior to a Change of Control. Such payment shall be made in a lump sum payment as of the date that Mr. Foster voluntarily terminates his employment. Mr. Foster’s agreement provides that he will not engage in competition with our Company for a period of 12 months following the date of his termination as well as other customary covenants concerning non-disclosure of confidential information.

Mr. Grossfeld and Mr. Newborn each have an employment agreement that was amended on March 2, 2006. Under the terms of these amended agreements, each of Messrs. Grossfeld’s and Newborn’s employment will continue until December 31, 2009. For the 2007 calendar year, Messrs. Grossfeld and Newborn each received a base salary of $700,000 and for each of calendar years 2008-2009 they will continue to be entitled to receive this annual base salary of $700,000. For calendar years 2008-2009, each of them will be eligible to receive salary increases at the discretion of the Committee and an annual cash bonus in an amount, if any, to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee in conjunction with our CEO. If we terminate Mr. Grossfeld or Mr. Newborn without “cause” (as defined in their respective amended employment agreements), Mr. Grossfeld or Mr. Newborn (as the case may be) will be entitled to receive his full salary, fringe benefits and Non-Extension Severance Benefit (as defined below) for the balance of the term of his agreement (the “Remaining Term Severance Benefit”); provided, that if such termination is within six months following a “Change of Control” (as defined in his agreement), he will be entitled to receive the greater of the Remaining Term Severance Benefit and the Change of Control Severance Benefit (as defined below). In the event that Mr. Grossfeld’s or Mr. Newborn’s agreement (as applicable) is not extended beyond its term for at least one year on at least the same terms and conditions as were in effect in 2009, Mr. Grossfeld or Mr. Newborn (as the case may be) will be entitled to receive a severance benefit equal to three weeks of his base salary (as of the last calendar year of employment) for each year of employment with our Company (“Non-Extension Severance Benefit”). If Mr. Grossfeld’s or Mr. Newborn’s employment terminates due to his death or disability, he will be entitled to receive his salary and fringe benefits through the date of termination. Each of Messrs. Grossfeld and Newborn have the right to terminate the agreement at any time within six months of the occurrence of a Change of Control, and to receive a payment equal to 2.99 times his average annual compensation (including bonuses, if any) during the three years preceding the date of such termination (the “Change of Control Severance Benefit”). Each of Messrs. Grossfeld and Newborn’s agreements provides that he will not engage in competition with our Company for a period of 24 months following the date of his termination as well as other customary covenants concerning non-disclosure of confidential information.

Mr. Lacey has an employment agreement with us that was amended on October 26, 2006. Under the terms of his amended agreement, Mr. Lacey’s employment will continue until December 31, 2009. Mr. Lacey received an annual base salary of $550,000 in 2007 and will be entitled under his agreement to receive an annual base salary of $600,000 for 2008 and 2009, in each case subject to increase at the discretion of the Committee and an annual cash bonus in an amount, if any, to be determined at the sole discretion of the Committee, in conjunction with our CEO. If we terminate Mr. Lacey without “cause” (as defined in his amended employment agreement), Mr. Lacey will be entitled to receive his full salary and fringe benefits for the balance of the term of his agreement. If Mr. Lacey’s employment terminates due to his death or

disability, he will be entitled to receive his salary and fringe benefits through the date of termination. Mr. Lacey’s agreement provides that he will not engage in competition with us for a period of 24 months following the date of his termination as well as other customary covenants concerning non-disclosure of confidential information.

Post-Termination Compensation

All of our NEOs have employment agreements that provide specified change of control and severance benefits. These provisions were included because of the prevalence of such programs in the market and their necessity in recruiting and retaining executive talent.

CEO Compensation

In addition to setting up the compensation parameters for our NEOs, the Compensation Committee has also reviewed all components of our CEO’s compensation, including his base salary, bonus compensation, long-term incentive compensation (including, stock options and restricted stock) and the cash value of other benefits provided to him. The Compensation Committee has also reviewed a tally sheet setting forth the amounts payable to our CEO in the event of a termination “without cause” or a termination on account of any "change of control". All of these computations appear in the subsequent pages of this proxy.

The Compensation Committee has the sole authority to hire and fire outside compensation consultants. The Compensation Committee has used such outside compensation consultants to assist in analyzing executive pay and in formulating bonus and long-term incentive plans for our CEO and the other NEOs. The Compensation Committee used an outside compensation consultant in 2006 to review, analyze and assess the new employment agreement entered into by our CEO and our Company in late 2006.

The Compensation Committee has determined not to provide a cash bonus to our CEO in 2007 and will not provide a cash bonus to him in future years until such time as our Company has achieved profitability. The amount of any cash bonus will be predicated on the aggregate amount of net income earned by us in the applicable year and the assessment by the Compensation Committee of our Company’s future prospects.

The Compensation Committee also takes into account the financial performance of our Company in awarding long-term incentive compensation to our CEO. The Compensation Committee is committed to linking a substantial portion of long-term incentive compensation granted to our CEO and the other NEOs to the financial performance of our Company. The Compensation Committee recognizes that our Company’s financial results are, to a certain extent, contingent upon the popularity of properties owned or represented by us. The Compensation Committee, therefore, also takes into account our CEO's contributions to our Company in the areas of leadership, strategy and business development. During the CEO’s long and distinguished career, he has identified and obtained for the Company the rights to exciting new properties for children, such as Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh!, which have become billion-dollar industries and have generated substantial profits for our Company. Since the identification and development of new properties is the foundation of our Company’s future growth, the Compensation Committee also weighs the performance of our CEO in this important area. In addition, the Compensation Committee understands that it takes on average 6 to 18 months of development before licensed products reach the marketplace. During this period, our Company will incur development costs

which may, in the short term, substantially reduce profits or cause our Company to operate at a loss. The Compensation Committee must, therefore, assess both current and future operating results when granting long-term incentive compensation to our CEO and our NEOs.

The form and amount of director compensation is determined by our Board of Directors upon the recommendation of the Committee. Each member of the Board of Directors who is not an employee of our Company (a “Non-Employee Director”) receives $45,000 annually for his service on the Board of Directors. The chairman of the Audit and Compensation Committees each receive an additional $15,000 annually. The chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee receives an additional $5,000 annually. At the discretion of the Board of Directors, the Non-Employee Directors are eligible to receive grants of restricted stock or options to purchase shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. All directors are reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their service as directors.

Our Non-Employee Directors are Messrs. Block, Emmett, Goldstein, and Rissman. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, 5,000 shares of restricted stock were granted to each of our Non-Employee Directors. The restricted shares were granted on May 25, 2007 to Messrs. Block, Emmett, Goldstein and Rissman, and vest in four equal annual installments beginning one year from the date of grant.

The following chart represents the compensation amount we paid, accrued or expensed with respect to our Non-Employee Directors for their services in 2007:

Director	Fees Earned		Stock Awards (1)		All Other Compensation		Total
Richard Block	$	50,000	$	29,150	$	—	$	79,150

The grant date fair value of restricted stock awards issued to each of our Non-Employee Directors in 2007 is $83,950, and is based on a price of $16.79 which represents the average of the high and low market value of our stock on the grant date.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

As described in “Election of Directors - Committees of the Board of Directors” above, the Compensation Committee consists of Messrs. Emmett, Block and Goldstein, none of whom has ever been an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

Report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of the Company’s previous or future filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that might incorporate this Proxy Statement or future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in whole or in part, the following report shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any such filing.

Membership and Role of the Audit Committee

4Kids’ Audit Committee currently consists of Mr. Goldstein, who serves as the Chairman, and Messrs. Block, Emmett and Rissman. The Audit Committee provides assistance to the Board of Directors in fulfilling the Board of Director’s oversight responsibilities with respect to the quality and integrity of 4Kids’ financial reports, the independence and qualifications of 4Kids’ independent auditors, the performance of 4Kids’ internal audit function and 4Kids’ compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee has the sole authority to appoint or replace 4Kids’ independent auditors and is directly responsible for determining the compensation and for overseeing the work of the 4Kids independent auditors. The Audit Committee met with management periodically during the year to consider the adequacy of 4Kids’ internal controls and the objectivity of its financial reporting. The Audit Committee also discussed with 4Kids’ independent auditors and with the appropriate financial personnel their evaluations of 4Kids’ internal accounting controls and the overall quality of 4Kids’ financial reporting. The Audit Committee also discussed with 4Kids’ senior management

and independent auditors the process used for certifications by 4Kids’ chief executive officer and chief financial officer which is required by the SEC for certain of 4Kids’ filings with the SEC. During fiscal 2007, the Audit Committee met privately with both the independent auditors and the internal auditor, each of whom has unrestricted access to the Audit Committee.

The Board of Directors has determined that one of the Committee’s members, Mr. Goldstein, qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. All of the Audit Committee members are independent as defined in the New York Stock Exchange listing standards.

Review of the Company’s Audited Financial Statements for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2007

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 with the Company’s management. The Audit Committee has discussed with Eisner LLP, the Company’s independent public accountants, the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Codifications of Statements on Auditing Standards AU § 380).

The Audit Committee has also received the written disclosures and the letter from Eisner LLP required by Independence Standards Board No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees) and the Audit Committee has discussed with Eisner LLP such firm’s independence.

Based on the Audit Committee’s review and discussions noted above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Company’s audited financial statements be included in Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PROPOSAL 2 - SELECTION OF AUDITORS

On April 10, 2008, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors voted to propose and recommend the selection of Eisner LLP as independent auditors to examine its financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.

The Audit Committee of Board of Directors has the responsibility for the selection of 4Kids’ independent auditors. Although shareholder ratification is not required for the selection of Eisner LLP, and although such ratification will not obligate 4Kids to continue using the services of such firm, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is submitting the selection for ratification with a view towards soliciting the shareholders’ opinion thereon, which may be taken into consideration in future deliberations.

Representatives of Eisner LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Pre-Approval Policy for Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

As part of its duties, the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve audit and non-audit services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm (the independent auditors) in order to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the auditors' independence. On an annual basis, the Audit Committee reviews and provides pre-approval for certain types of services that may be provided by the independent auditors without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee. If a type of service to be provided by the independent auditors has not received pre-approval during this annual process, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee does not delegate to management its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent auditors.

The fees billed or expected to be billed for professional services rendered by Eisner LLP in 2007 and 2006 were approximately as follows:

Type of Fees		2007		2006
Audit Fees	$	789,066	$	641,425
Audit-Related Fees		38,325		36,000
Tax Fees		85,006		30,000
All Other Fees		—		—
Total	$	912,397	$	707,425

In the above tables, in accordance with the SEC's definitions and rules, "audit fees" are fees that 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. paid or expected to pay to Eisner LLP for the audit of 4Kids Entertainment, Inc.'s annual financial statements included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively and review of financial statements included in the Forms 10-Q filed during fiscal 2007 and 2006; for the audit of 4Kids Entertainment, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting with the objective of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects; for the attestation of management's report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and for services that are normally provided by the auditor in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements. "Audit-related fees" are fees for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of 4Kids Entertainment, Inc.'s financial statements and internal control over financial reporting, including services in connection with assisting the company in its compliance with its obligations under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and related regulations; "Tax fees" are fees for tax preparation, tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning; and "All other fees" are fees for any services not included in the first three categories.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR ratification of the appointment of Eisner LLP as auditors and it is intended that proxies not marked to the contrary and not designated as broker non-votes will be so voted.

PROPOSAL 3 – PROPOSED 4KIDS ENTERTAINMENT, INC. 2008 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

Consistent with the Company's longstanding practice of rewarding employees responsible for significant contributions to the Company's business, the Compensation Committee has advised the Board of Directors that it is in the interest of the Company to adopt the 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. 2008 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Plan''). The purposes of the Plan are to provide long-term incentives to those persons with responsibility for the success and growth of the Company, to associate more closely the interests of such persons with those of the Company's shareholders, to assist the Company in recruiting, retaining and motivating a diverse and talented group of employees on a competitive basis, and to ensure a pay for performance linkage for such persons. Accordingly, on April 10, 2008, the Board of Directors, acting on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, unanimously approved the Plan, subject to shareholder approval, and directed that it be submitted for consideration and action at the next meeting of shareholders. Adoption of the Plan requires that the Plan be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock voted at the meeting. Among the key features of the Plan, which the Board of Directors believes reflect the Company's strong commitment to sound compensation and governance practices, are the following:

•

Types of Awards. The Plan allows the Company to continue to use equity to attract, retain and motivate employees and will give the Company greater flexibility to respond to changes in executive compensation practices given the anticipated impact of changes in accounting for stock options and other stock compensation. The Plan allows the Company to grant stock options (both incentive stock options (“ISOs”) and non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”), stock appreciation rights ("SARs''), restricted shares, restricted share units, stock awards and performance shares. In the past, stock options have been the principal form of long-term equity incentive used by the Company.

•

Limitation on Shares Issued. The Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 700,000 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 5.3% of the shares currently outstanding, of which no more than 350,000 shares may be issued pursuant to ISOs, with any increase in authorized shares subject to shareholder approval.

•

Full Value Awards. To the extent that "full value awards'' (all awards other than stock options or SARs) are granted, such full value awards will reduce the total number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance by two shares of Common Stock for every one share of Common Stock underlying a full value award. This provision could reduce the total number of shares the Company could issue under the Plan to 350,000 shares if all of the awards granted were full value awards.

•

Share Counting. The shares underlying all awards granted under the Plan reduce the shares available for issuance regardless of whether they are settled in cash or stock. The only shares that become available for issuance again under the Plan are for awards that expire or are cancelled, forfeited or terminated without being exercised or paid out.

•

No Discounted Stock Options or SARs. All stock options and SARs must have an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on the date the stock option or SAR is granted.

•

No Stock Option or SAR Re-pricings. The Plan prohibits the re-pricing of stock options and SARs, and also does not allow canceling and replacing an outstanding stock option or SAR with a stock option or SAR with a lower exercise price.

•

No "Reload'' Options. The Plan does not permit granting options with "reload'' features that provide for automatic grants of new options when shares are tendered to pay for the exercise of previously granted options.

•

Limitations on Share Counting. Shares constituting an award under the Plan may not again be made available for issuance under the Plan if such shares are (i) subject to a stock settled SAR and were not issued upon the net settlement or net exercise of such SAR, (ii) used to pay the exercise price of any Stock Option, (iii) delivered to or withheld by the Company to pay the withholding tax related to a Stock Option, Restricted Share or a SAR, or (iv) repurchased on the open market with the proceeds of a Stock Option exercise.

•

Committee. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee, which is comprised solely of non-employee directors who qualify as independent under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, and who qualify as outside directors pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code.

The following is a brief and non-comprehensive summary of the proposed Plan. The complete text of the Plan is attached as Exhibit A and reference is made to that Exhibit for a complete statement of the provisions of the Plan.

Administration of the Plan. The Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee, which is currently comprised of three directors (and must under the Plan be comprised of at least

three directors), each of whom is not an employee of the Company. Each member of the Compensation Committee must be a ""Non-Employee Director'' within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and an "outside director'' within the meaning of the regulations under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Internal Revenue Code''). The Compensation Committee has the authority to, among other things: interpret the plan; determine the persons to be granted awards under the Plan; determine the type, size and terms of awards; establish objectives and conditions for awards and whether they are met; determine whether an award may be deferred; and determine the guidelines and procedures for payment or exercise of awards. To the extent permitted by law, the Compensation Committee may delegate its authority to one of more of its members or other persons.

Awards. The Plan provides for the grant of ISOs that satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, NQSOs, SARs, restricted shares, restricted share units, stock awards and performance shares, each as defined in the Plan.

Eligibility. Participants in the Plan will be selected on the basis of demonstrated ability to contribute substantially to the effective management or financial performance of the Company. The Compensation Committee will select participants in the Plan from among those directors who are employees of the Company or its domestic subsidiaries; employees of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries (including executive officers and officers of the Company); employees of international subsidiaries of the Company; and consultants. Non-employee directors are also eligible to receive stock awards and restricted shares under the Plan.

Shares of Common Stock Subject to the Plan. Unless otherwise authorized by the Company's shareholders, or subject to adjustment for certain dilutive or related events, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan will be 700,000 shares plus the shares remaining and available for issuance under the 2006 and 2007 Long Term Incentive Plans. Any of the authorized shares may be used for any of the types of awards described in the Plan, except that no more than 100,000 shares may be issued pursuant to incentive stock options.

In connection with the grant of an option or other award (other than a full value award), the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by the number of shares in respect of which such option or other award is granted or denominated. If full value awards are granted, each full value award shall reduce the total number of shares available for issuance under the Plan by two shares of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock in respect of which such full value award is granted.

If any outstanding option or other award (or portion thereof) expires, is canceled, is forfeited or is otherwise terminated for any reason without having been exercised or payment having been made in respect of the entire option or other award, the underlying shares of Common Stock may again be the subject of options or other awards granted under the Plan. If, in accordance with Section 10(d) hereof, a participant uses shares of common stock awarded hereunder to satisfy tax withholding, such shares may not be used again for awards under the Plan. To the extent any such expired, canceled, forfeited or otherwise terminated award (or portion thereof) was a full value award, the number of shares of Common Stock that may again be the subject of options or other awards granted under the Plan shall increase by four shares of Common Stock for each

share of Common Stock in respect of which such full value award was granted. These provisions operate as follows:

•

The Company could issue stock options and SARs under the Plan in any combination covering up to 700,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to the limitation of ISOs to 100,000 shares) and no full value awards.

•

The Company could issue full value awards under the Plan in any combination covering up to 350,000 shares of Common Stock and no stock options or SARs (since any full value award would be deemed to utilize two shares of Common Stock for every share of Common Stock underlying that award).

•

Shares of common stock underlying expired, forfeited, cancelled or otherwise terminated

awards shall be restored to the Plan and shall be available for future awards.

Award Limitations. During a fiscal year, stock options and SARs may be granted, in the aggregate, to an individual participant with respect to a maximum of 350,000 shares of Common Stock. In addition, during a fiscal year, full value awards may be granted, in the aggregate, to an individual participant with respect to a maximum of 50,000 shares of Common Stock.

Stock Options. Stock options may be granted alone or together with SARs. A stock option may be granted in the form of a NQSO or an ISO. The option exercise price may not be less than the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date the option is granted, unless the option was granted through the assumption of, or in substitution for, an outstanding award previously granted by a corporation acquired by or merged with the Company. The Compensation Committee may establish the term of each stock option, but no stock option will be exercisable after 10 years from the grant date.

Except for adjustments made to adjust for dilutive or similar events, or except as otherwise approved by shareholders, the exercise price of a stock option may not be decreased after the date of grant and no outstanding stock option may be surrendered to the Company as consideration for the grant of a new stock option with a lower exercise price.

Incentive Stock Options (“ISO”). An ISO is a stock option that may qualify for certain U.S. federal tax advantages. The aggregate fair market value of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which ISOs become exercisable by an individual participant for the first time in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000 or such other amount as may subsequently be specified by the Internal Revenue Code and/or applicable regulations, based on the fair market value of the underlying Common Stock on the date of grant. If this limit is exceeded, any options on shares in excess of the limit will be treated as NQSO.

Stock Appreciation Rights (“SAR”). A SAR is an award that entitles the recipient to receive the appreciation in value of a set number of shares of the Company's Common Stock over a set period of time. SARs may be granted either alone or in tandem with stock options. The exercise price of a SAR must be equal to or greater than the fair market value of the underlying Common Stock on the date of grant, unless the SAR was granted through the assumption of, or in substitution for, an outstanding award previously granted by a corporation acquired by or merged with the Company. The Compensation Committee may establish the term of each SAR, but no SAR will be exercisable after 10 years from the grant date.

Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units ("RSUs''). A restricted share is an award of a share of Common Stock that may not be traded or sold until a predetermined date set by the Compensation Committee. A RSU is an award of an amount, payable in cash, shares of Common Stock, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Compensation Committee, based on the value of a specified number of shares of Common Stock. The restrictions on such awards shall be determined by the Compensation Committee, and may include stipulated purchase prices, forfeiture conditions, transfer restrictions, restrictions based on performance goals and time-based restrictions on vesting. Holders of RSUs will have no ownership interest in the shares of Common Stock to which such RSUs relate until and unless payment with respect to such restricted RSUs is actually made in shares of Common Stock. Except as otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, during the restriction period, participants who hold restricted shares will have voting rights and any dividends payable to participants on restricted shares during the restriction period will be distributed to participants only if and when the restrictions imposed on the restricted shares lapse. Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, during the restriction period, participants who hold RSUs will be credited with dividend equivalents in respect of such RSUs, which will be immediately converted to RSUs with an initial value equal to the amount of such dividend equivalents.

Stock Awards. Stock awards may be granted to eligible participants, either alone or in combination with other awards under the Plan. The Compensation Committee will determine the terms and conditions governing each stock award.

Performance Shares. A performance share is an award of shares of Common Stock based on the achievement of certain performance goals set during a performance period. Performance shares may be issued to eligible participants, either alone or in combination with other awards made under the Plan. The Compensation Committee will determine the performance goals in its sole discretion. The performance measures to be used for performance shares may be based on one or more performance criteria, including: income measures (such as gross profit, operating income, earnings before or after taxes, net income and earnings per share); return measures (such as return on assets, investment, equity or sales); cash flow; costs; revenue measures; and stock price (such as growth measures and total shareholder return). Notwithstanding the attainment of any performance goal, the Compensation Committee has the discretion to reduce any award payment.

Payment. When a stock option is exercised, the option exercise price will be payable to the Company in full (a) in cash or its equivalent; (b) by tendering previously acquired shares of Common Stock having an aggregate fair market value on the date of exercise equal to the total option exercise price (provided that the shares that are tendered must have been beneficially owned by the participant for at least six months prior to their tender); (c) by reducing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Option by a number of shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the Option Exercise Price (or portion thereof) to be paid with such underlying shares of Common Stock; or (d) by a combination of (a), (b) and (c).

With respect to SARs, the Compensation Committee may authorize payment in the form of cash, Common Stock that (when valued at its fair market value on the date of exercise) has a value equal to such cash amount, a combination thereof, or any other method as the Compensation Committee may determine.

No Re-pricing. Except for adjustments made pursuant to a merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, combination, or exchange of shares or other change in corporate structure affecting any class of Common Stock, the exercise price of any outstanding stock option or SAR granted under the Plan may not be decreased after the date of grant, nor may any outstanding stock option or SAR granted under the Plan be surrendered to the Company as consideration for the grant of a new stock option or SAR with a lower exercise price, without shareholder approval.

Deferred Payments and No Deferrals of Option or SAR Gains. The Compensation Committee may defer the payment of all or a portion of any award (except gains from stock options or SARs) or approve deferral elections made by participants upon such terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee may determine in its sole discretion. No deferral of gains from stock options or SARs is permitted under the Plan.

Dilution and Other Adjustments. In the event of a merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, combination, or exchange of shares or other change in corporate structure affecting any class of Common Stock, the Compensation Committee will make appropriate adjustments in the class and aggregate number of shares that may be delivered under the Plan, the individual award maximums, the class, number and exercise price of outstanding options and SARs, and the class and number of shares subject to any other awards granted under the Plan. In the event of a Change of Control, all shares will immediately vest.

No Loans. No loans from the Company to participants will be permitted in connection with the Plan.

Effective Date, Amendments and Termination. If approved by the shareholders, the Plan will become effective as of the date of such approval and no awards will be made under the Plan after

the tenth anniversary of the date on which the shareholders approved the Plan. The Compensation Committee may terminate or amend the Plan at any time, but no such amendment or termination may adversely affect awards granted prior to such termination or amendment, except to the extent necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law or stock exchange rules and regulations. The Compensation Committee shall have the right to administer the 2007 and 2006 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plans together with this Plan. Unless the Company's shareholders have first approved the amendment, no amendment may (a) increase the number of authorized shares or the maximum individual award limitation, (b) extend the maximum period during which awards may be granted, (c) add to the types of awards that may be made, (d) change the performance measures pursuant to which performance shares are earned, (e) modify the requirements governing eligibility for participation in the Plan or (f) amend the Plan in a manner that would require shareholder approval pursuant to the Plan, applicable law or the rules of the New York Stock Exchange.

United States Income Tax Consequences. Under the Internal Revenue Code as presently in effect, the following are, in general, the material federal income tax consequences of awards under the Plan. The grant of a stock option will have no tax consequences to a participant or the Company. In general, when a participant exercises an ISO, the participant will not recognize income, and the Company will not be entitled to a tax deduction. However, the excess of the fair market value of a share on the exercise date over the exercise price will be included in the participant's income for purposes of the alternative minimum tax. In general, if a participant exercises an incentive stock option more than three months after terminating his or her

employment with the Company or a subsidiary, the option will be treated for tax purposes as a nonqualified stock option, as described below. In general, upon exercising a NQSO, a participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the acquired shares' fair market value on the exercise date over the exercise price. The Company will be entitled to a tax deduction for the same amount. When a participant disposes of shares acquired under an ISO, the participant will have a capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the exercise price and the amount realized by the participant on the disposition of the shares, provided he has held the shares for more than one year after exercise and more than two years after the grant of the option of net, the portion of any gain realized by the participant upon the disposition of the shares that does not exceed the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date over the exercise price generally will be treated as ordinary income, and the Company generally will be entitled to a tax deduction for the same amount. The balance of any gain or any loss will be treated as a capital gain or loss.

With respect to other awards that are settled either in cash or in shares that are transferable or are not subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” for tax purposes, a participant generally will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of (a) the cash or the fair market value of any shares received (determined as of the date of settlement) over (b) the amount, if any, paid for the shares by the participant. The Company generally will be entitled to a tax deduction in the same amount. If the shares are nontransferable and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the participant generally will not recognize income (and the Company will not become entitled to a tax deduction) until the shares become transferable or not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (whichever occurs first), and the amount of income (or deduction) will be equal to the excess of (i) the fair market value of the shares on the date income is recognized over (ii) the amount, if any, paid for the shares by the participant.

When a participant sells any shares acquired under a NQSO or any other award other than an ISO, the participant will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the disposition of the shares and the employee's basis in the shares. In general, a participant's basis in any such shares will be equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized in connection with their receipt of the shares plus any amount paid for them.

•

to select the persons to be granted Awards under the Plan;

•

to determine the type, size, and terms of Awards to be made to each Participant, including Participants who are Non-Employee Directors;

A-3

•

to determine the time when Awards are to be granted and any conditions that must be satisfied before an Award is granted;

•

to establish objectives and conditions for Awards;

•

to determine whether an Award shall be evidenced by an agreement and, if so, to determine the terms and conditions of such agreement (which shall not be inconsistent with the Plan) and who must be the parties to such agreement;

•

to determine whether any conditions applicable to an Award have been met and whether an Award will be paid at the end of a Performance Period;

•

to determine if, when, and under what conditions payment of all or any part of an Award shall be deferred; and

•

to determine the guidelines and/or procedures for the payment or exercise of Awards.

•

to administer the 2007 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan and the 2006 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan together with this Plan, including making the 2007 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan and the 2006 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan subject to Section 5.b. v. below.

Interpretation of Plan. The Committee shall have full power and authority to administer and interpret the Plan and to adopt or establish such rules, regulations, agreements, guidelines, procedures and instruments, which are not inconsistent with the Plan and which, in the Committee’s opinion, may be necessary or advisable for the administration and operation of the Plan. The Committee’s interpretations of the Plan, and all actions taken and determinations made by the Committee pursuant to the powers vested in it hereunder, shall be conclusive and binding on all parties concerned, including the Corporation, its shareholders, and all Eligible Participants.

Delegation of Authority. To the extent not prohibited by law, the Committee may delegate its authority hereunder to one or more of its members or other persons, except that no such delegation shall be permitted with respect to Awards to Eligible Participants who are subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Any person to whom the Committee delegates its authority pursuant to this Section 3(c) may receive Awards only if such Awards are granted directly by the Committee without delegation.

Execution of Documents and Provision of Assistance. The Committee may designate employees of the Corporation to execute documents on behalf of the

A-4

Committee or otherwise to assist the Committee in the administration and operation of the Plan.

Uniformity Not Required. The terms and conditions that apply to Awards need not be uniform among all Awards, among all Awards of the same type, among all Awards granted to the same Participant, or among all Awards granted at the same time.

4.	Eligibility.

General. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee may, from time to time, select from all Eligible Participants those to whom Awards shall be granted under Section 7 hereof and shall determine the nature and amount of each Award.

International Participants. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in order to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan or to comply with provisions of law in other countries in which the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries operates or has employees, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to (i) determine which Eligible Participants employed by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries outside the United States should participate in the Plan, (ii) modify the terms and conditions of any Awards made to such Eligible Participants, and (iii) establish subplans, modified Option exercise procedures, and other Award terms, conditions, and procedures to the extent such actions may be necessary or advisable to comply with provisions of the laws and regulations of countries outside the United States in order to assure the lawfulness, validity and effectiveness of Awards granted under the Plan.

5.	Shares of Common Stock Subject to the Plan.

Authorized Number of Shares. Unless otherwise authorized by the Corporation’s shareholders and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5 and Section 9 hereof, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall be 700,000 shares. Any of the authorized shares of Common Stock may be used for any of the types of Awards described in the Plan, except that no more than 100,000 shares of Common Stock may be issued pursuant to ISOs.

Share Counting. The following rules shall apply in determining the number of shares of Common Stock remaining available for issuance under the Plan:

In connection with the grant of an Option or other Award, the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by the number of shares of Common Stock in respect of which such Option or other Award is granted or denominated.

A-5

ii.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5(b)(i) above, each Full Value Award shall reduce the total number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan by two shares of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock in respect of which such Full Value Award is granted.

iii.

When an outstanding Option or other Award (or portion thereof) expires, is canceled, is forfeited or is otherwise terminated for any reason without having been exercised or payment having been made in respect of the entire Option or other Award, the shares of Common Stock allocable to the expired, canceled, or otherwise terminated Option (or portion thereof) or other Award (or portion thereof) may again be available for issuance in respect of Options or other Awards granted under the Plan. However, to the extent any such expired, canceled, forfeited or otherwise terminated Award (or portion thereof) was a Full Value Award (or portion thereof), the number of shares of Common Stock that may again be available for issuance in respect of Options or other Awards granted under the Plan pursuant to this Section 5 shall increase by two shares of Common Stock for every share of Common Stock allocable to the expired, canceled, forfeited or otherwise terminated Full Value Award. Any such restored shares of Common Stock shall be available for issuance under the Plan pursuant to this Section 5.

iv.

Any shares of Common Stock underlying Awards granted in assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by a company acquired by the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof or with which the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof combines, shall not, unless required by law or regulation, count against the reserve of available shares of Common Stock under the Plan.

For the avoidance of doubt, shares of Common Stock constituting an Award under the Plan may not again be made available for issuance under the Plan if such shares are (i) subject to a stock settled SAR and were not issued upon the net settlement or net exercise of such SAR, (ii) used to pay the exercise price of any Stock Option, (iii) delivered to or withheld by the Company to pay the withholding tax related to a Stock Option, Restricted Share or a SAR, or (iv) repurchased on the open market with the proceeds of a Stock Option exercise.

Shares to be Delivered. The source of shares of Common Stock to be delivered by the Corporation under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee and may consist in whole or in part of authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, or shares acquired on the open market.

A-6

6.	Award Limitations.

Options and SARs may be granted, in the aggregate, to an Eligible Participant with respect to a maximum of 350,000 shares of Common Stock during a single Fiscal Year. Full Value Awards may be granted, in the aggregate, to an Eligible Participant, with respect to a maximum of 50,000 shares of Common Stock during a single Fiscal Year. The maximum Award (excluding Options and SARs) that may be granted to any Eligible Participant for a Performance Period longer than one Fiscal Year shall not exceed the foregoing annual maximum multiplied by the number of full Fiscal Years in the Performance Period.

7.	Awards to Eligible Participants.

Options.

Grants. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, Options may be granted to Eligible Participants. Options may consist of ISOs or NQSOs, as the Committee shall determine. Options may be granted alone or in tandem with SARs. With respect to Options granted in tandem with SARs, the exercise of either such Options or such SARs shall result in the simultaneous cancellation of the same number of tandem SARs or Options, as the case may be.

ii.

Option Exercise Price. The Option Exercise Price shall be equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the Option is granted, unless the Option was granted through the assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by a company acquired by the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof or with which the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof combines.

iii.

Term. The term of each Option shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, but in no event shall the term exceed ten years from the date of grant.

iv.

ISO Limits. ISOs may be granted only to Eligible Participants who are employees of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries on the date of grant. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date the ISO is granted) of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Corporation (or of any parent or subsidiary corporation (within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code) of the Corporation)) shall not exceed $100,000 or such other amount as may subsequently be specified by the Code and/or applicable regulations; provided that if such limitation is exceeded, any Options on shares of Common Stock in excess of such limitation shall be deemed to be NQSOs. ISOs shall contain such other provisions as the Committee

A-7

shall deem advisable but shall in all events be consistent with and contain or be deemed to contain all provisions required in order to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code. All ISOs must be granted within ten years from the date the Plan was approved by the Corporation’s shareholders.

No Re-pricing. Except for adjustments made pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Option Exercise Price under any outstanding Option granted under the Plan may not be decreased after the date of grant nor may any outstanding Option granted under the Plan be surrendered to the Corporation as consideration for the grant of a new Option with a lower Option Exercise Price without the approval of the Corporation’s shareholders.

vi.

Payment. When an Option is exercised, the Option Exercise Price shall be payable to the Corporation in full:

In cash or its equivalent;

By tendering previously acquired shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the total Option Exercise Price (provided that the shares that are tendered must have been beneficially owned by the Eligible Participant for at least six months prior to their tender); or

By reducing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Option by a number of shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the Option Exercise Price (or portion thereof) to be paid with such underlying shares of Common Stock; or

By a combination of (1), (2) and (3).

Stock Appreciation Rights.

Grants. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, SARs may be granted to Eligible Participants. SARs may be granted alone or in tandem with Options. With respect to SARs granted in tandem with Options, the exercise of either such Options or such SARs shall result in the simultaneous cancellation of the same number of tandem SARs or Options, as the case may be.

ii.

Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock covered by a SAR granted pursuant to the Plan shall be equal to or greater than Fair Market Value on the date the SAR was granted, unless the SAR was granted through the assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by a company acquired by the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof or with which the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof combines.

A-8

iii.

Term. The term of each SAR shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, but in no event shall the term exceed ten years from the date of grant.

iv.

No Re-pricing. Except for adjustments made pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the exercise price under any outstanding SAR granted under the Plan may not be decreased after the date of grant nor may any outstanding SAR granted under the Plan be surrendered to the Corporation as consideration for the grant of a new SAR with a lower exercise price without the approval of the Corporation’s shareholders.

Form of Payment. The Committee may authorize payment of a SAR in the form of cash, Common Stock that (when valued at its Fair Market Value on the date of exercise) has a value equal to such cash amount, a combination thereof, or any other method as the Committee may determine.

Restricted Shares/Restricted Share Units.

Grants. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units, or both, may be granted to Eligible Participants.

ii.

Restricted Shares. A Restricted Share is an Award of a share of Common Stock that is subject to such restrictions on transfer and such other terms and conditions as the Committee may establish.

iii.

Restricted Share Units. A Restricted Share Unit is an Award of a contractual right to receive an amount based on the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may establish. Restricted Share Units that become payable in accordance with their terms and conditions shall be settled in cash, shares of Common Stock, or a combination of cash and shares, as determined by the Committee. Any person who holds Restricted Share Units shall have no ownership interest in the shares of Common Stock to which such Restricted Share Units relate until and unless payment with respect to such Restricted Share Units is actually made in shares of Common Stock.

iv.

Terms and Conditions. The Committee shall impose such terms, conditions, and/or restrictions on any Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units granted pursuant to the Plan as it may deem advisable including: a requirement that Participants pay a stipulated purchase price for each Restricted Share or each Restricted Share Unit; forfeiture conditions; transfer restrictions; restrictions based upon the achievement of specific performance goals (as described in Section 7(e)(iii) hereof or otherwise); time-based restrictions on vesting; and/or restrictions under

A-9

applicable federal or state securities laws. To the extent the Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units are intended to be deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code, the applicable restrictions shall be based on the achievement of Performance Goals over a Performance Period, as described in Section 7(e) hereof.

Transfer Restrictions. During the Restriction Period, Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, or otherwise disposed of, or mortgaged, pledged, or otherwise encumbered. In order to enforce the limitations imposed upon the Restricted Shares, the Committee may (a) cause “stop transfer” instructions to be issued, and/or (b) cause a legend or legends to be placed on certificates (if any) evidencing such Restricted Shares, as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate. Restricted Share Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred, or otherwise disposed of, or mortgaged, pledged, or otherwise encumbered at any time.

vi.

Dividend and Voting Rights. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, during the Restriction Period, Participants who hold Restricted Shares shall have the right to receive dividends in cash or other property or distribution rights in respect of such shares, and Participants who hold Restricted Shares shall have the right to vote such shares as the record owners thereof; provided that, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, any dividends or other property payable to a Participant during the Restriction Period shall be distributed to the Participant only if and when the restrictions imposed on the applicable Restricted Shares lapse. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, during the Restriction Period, Participants who hold Restricted Share Units shall be credited with Dividend Equivalents in respect of such Restricted Share Units; and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, such Dividend Equivalents shall be immediately converted, in accordance with such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine, to Restricted Share Units with an initial value equal to the amount of such Dividend Equivalents.

vii.

Evidence of Interest in Shares. Each Restricted Share issued pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by an interest in such Restricted Share registered in the name of the applicable Participant on the books and records of the Corporation or its designee (or by one or more physical certificates if physical certificates are issued with respect to such Restricted Share), subject, in any such case, to the transfer restrictions imposed by Section 7(c)(v) hereof. If a Restricted Share is forfeited in accordance with the restrictions that apply to such Restricted Share, such interest or certificate, as the case may be, shall be canceled. At the end of the Restriction Period that applies to Restricted Shares, the Corporation shall cause the applicable transfer restrictions to be removed with respect to any shares of Common Stock to which such Participant is

A-10

then entitled. No interest shall be recorded (and no physical certificate shall be issued) with respect to a Restricted Share Unit unless and until such Restricted Share Unit is paid in shares of Common Stock.

Stock Awards.

Grants. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, Stock Awards consisting of shares of Common Stock may be granted to Eligible Participants. Stock Awards may be granted either alone or in addition to other Awards made under the Plan.

ii.

Terms and Conditions. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions governing each Stock Award. Such terms and conditions may include such restrictions on the transferability of the shares of Common Stock covered by the Stock Award as the Committee, in its discretion, shall determine.

Performance Shares.

Grants. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, Performance Shares may be granted to Eligible Participants. Performance Shares may be granted either alone or in addition to other Awards made under the Plan.

ii.

Performance Goals. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Performance Shares shall be conditioned on the achievement of Performance Goals (which shall be based on one or more Performance Measures, as determined by the Committee) over a Performance Period. The Performance Period shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

iii.

Performance Measures. The Performance Measure(s) to be used for purposes of Performance Shares may be described in terms of objectives that are related to the individual Participant or objectives that are Corporation-wide or related to a subsidiary, division, department, region, function or business unit of the Corporation, and may consist of one or more or any combination of the following criteria:

•

Income measures (including gross profit, operating income, earnings before or after taxes, net income, or earnings per share);

•

Return measures (including return on assets, investment, equity, or sales);

•

Cash flow;

•

Costs;

A-11

•

Revenue measures; and

•

Stock price (including growth measures and total shareholder return).

The Performance Goals based on these Performance Measures may be expressed either in absolute terms or in relation to the performance of other entities.

iv.

Negative Discretion. Notwithstanding the achievement of any Performance Goal established under the Plan, the Committee has the discretion to reduce some or all of the Performance Shares that would otherwise be paid to a Participant.

Extraordinary Events. At any time (or from time to time) after an Award is granted, and to the extent permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder without adversely affecting the treatment of the Award under the Performance-Based Exception, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide for the manner in which performance will be measured against the Performance Goals (or may adjust the Performance Goals) to reflect the impact of specific corporate transactions, accounting or tax law changes, and other extraordinary and nonrecurring events.

vi.

Interpretation. With respect to any Award that is intended to satisfy the conditions for the Performance-Based Exception under Section 162(m) of the Code: (A) the Committee shall interpret the Plan and this Section 7 in light of Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder; (B) the Committee shall have no discretion to amend the Award in any way that would adversely affect the treatment of the Award under Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder; and (C) such Award shall not be paid until the Committee shall first have certified that the Performance Goals have been achieved.

8.	Deferred Payments and No Deferral of Option or SAR Gains.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee may determine that all or a portion of any Award to a Participant, whether it is to be paid in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof, shall be deferred or may, in its sole discretion, approve deferral elections made by Participants. Deferrals shall be for such periods and upon such terms as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, deferral of Option or SAR gains shall not be permitted under the Plan.

9.	Dilution and Other Adjustments.

In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, combination, or exchange of shares or other change in corporate structure affecting any class of Common Stock, the Committee shall make such adjustments in the class and aggregate

A-12

number of shares that may be delivered under the Plan as described in Section 5 hereof, the individual Award maximums under Section 6 hereof, the class, number, and Option Exercise Price of outstanding Options, the class, number, and exercise price of outstanding SARs, and the class and number of shares subject to any other Awards granted under the Plan (provided the number of shares of any class subject to any Award shall always be a whole number), as may be determined to be appropriate by the Committee, and any such adjustment may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, take the form of Awards covering more than one class of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of the Plan. In the event of a “Change of Control” (as defined below), any Awards that are not fully vested as of the date of the Change of Control shall become fully vested as of the date of the Change of Control. For purposes of this Plan, a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred on the first day on which: (i) Alfred R. Kahn is not the Chairman and CEO and a majority of directors of the Corporation do not consist of Continuing Directors (as defined below) or (ii) there has been a corporate transaction (whether in the form of a sale or transfer of the majority of the stock, merger, a sale of substantially all of the assets, a reorganization or restructuring) involving the Corporation except for a transaction in which the Corporation or its subsidiaries is the acquirer and Alfred R. Kahn remains Chairman or CEO of the Corporation. For purposes of this agreement, “Continuing Directors” shall mean individuals who constitute the Board as of close of business on May 25, 2007 and any new director(s) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Corporation’s shareholders was approved by a vote of a least two-thirds of the directors then in office who are Continuing Directors.

10.	Miscellaneous Provisions.

Rights as Shareholder. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Participant shall have no rights as a holder of Common Stock with respect to Awards hereunder, unless and until interests in, or certificates evidencing, shares of Common Stock are issued to the Participant.

No Loans. No loans from the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries to Participants shall be permitted in connection with the Plan.

No Assignment or Transfer. Except as expressly permitted by the Committee, no Award shall be transferred by the recipient otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or, in the case of NQSO’s, (i) for estate planning purposes, or (ii) as a charitable contribution to an exempt organization as such term is defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code. During the lifetime of the recipient the Award, to the extent exercisable, shall be exercisable only by such recipient, by the recipient's legal representative or by a transferee permitted under the terms of the grant of the Award. Once awarded, the shares of Common Stock (other than Restricted Shares) received by Participants may be freely transferred, assigned, pledged, or otherwise subjected to lien, subject to the restrictions imposed by the Securities Act of 1933, Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Corporation’s Securities Trading Policy, as such policy may be amended from time to time.

A-13

Withholding Taxes. The Corporation shall have the right to deduct from all Awards paid in cash (and any other payment hereunder) any federal, state, local, or foreign taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such Awards and, with respect to Awards paid in shares of Common Stock or upon the exercise of Options, to require the payment (through withholding from the Participant’s salary or otherwise) of any such taxes. Subject to the approval of the Committee, with respect to any withholding required upon the exercise of Options or SARs, upon the lapse of restrictions on Restricted Shares, or upon any other taxable event arising as a result of Awards granted hereunder, a Participant may elect to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Corporation withhold shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date as of which the tax is to be determined equal to the minimum statutory withholding tax that could be imposed on the transaction. All such elections shall be irrevocable and shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations that the Committee, in its discretion, deems appropriate.

Currency and Other Restrictions. The obligations of the Corporation to make delivery of Awards in cash or Common Stock shall be subject to currency and other restrictions imposed by any government.

No Rights to Awards. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any person any right to be retained in the employ or service of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, and the Plan shall not interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries to terminate any person’s employment or service at any time. Except as set forth herein, no employee or other person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan. By accepting an Award, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Award shall be exclusively governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan, including the right reserved by the Corporation to amend or cancel the Plan at any time without the Corporation incurring liability to the Participant (except, to the extent that the terms of the Award so provide, for Awards already granted under the Plan), (ii) Awards are not a constituent part of salary and the Participant is not entitled, under the terms and conditions of employment, or by accepting or being granted Awards under the Plan to require Awards to be granted to him or her in the future under the Plan or any other plan, (iii) the value of Awards received under the Plan shall be excluded from the calculation of termination payments or other severance payments, and (iv) the Participant shall seek all necessary approval under, make all required notifications under, and comply with all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to the ownership of Options and shares of Common Stock and the exercise of Options, including currency and exchange laws, rules, and regulations.

Beneficiary Designation. To the extent allowed by the Committee, each Participant under the Plan may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named on a contingent or successive basis) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Unless the Committee determines otherwise,

A-14

each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Committee, and shall be effective only when filed by the Participant with the Corporation or its designee during the Participant’s lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate.

Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. This Plan is intended to comply and shall be administered in a manner that is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. To the extent that an Award or the payment, settlement or deferral thereof is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award shall be granted, paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will comply with Section 409A of the Code, including regulations or other guidance issued with respect thereto, except as otherwise determined by the Committee. Any provision of this Plan that would cause the grant of an Award or the payment, settlement or deferral thereof to fail to satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall be amended to comply with Section 409A of the Code on a timely basis, which may be made on a retroactive basis, in accordance with regulations and other guidance issued under Section 409A of the Code.

Costs and Expenses. The cost and expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Corporation and shall not be charged to any Award or to any Participant.

Fractional Shares. Fractional shares of Common Stock shall not be issued or transferred under an Award, but the Committee may direct that cash be paid in lieu of fractional shares or may round off fractional shares, in its discretion.

Funding of Plan. The Corporation shall not be required to establish or fund any special or separate account or to make any other segregation of assets to assure the payment of any Award under the Plan.

Successors. All obligations of the Corporation under the Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be binding on any successor to the Corporation, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Corporation.

Gender and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine, any feminine term used herein shall include the masculine, and the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural.

Severability. If any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

A-15

Requirements of Law. The granting of Awards and the issuance of shares of Common Stock under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.

Rules of Construction. Whenever any provision of the Plan refers to any law, rule, or regulation, such provision shall be deemed to refer to the law, rule, or regulation currently in effect and, when and if such law, rule, or regulation is subsequently amended or replaced, to the amended or successor law, rule, or regulation. The term “including” shall be deemed to include the words “including without limitation.”

11.	Effective Date, Governing Law, Amendments, and Termination.

Effective Date. The Plan was approved by the Board on April 10, 2008, subject to the approval of the Corporation’s shareholders, and shall become effective on the date it is approved by the Corporation’s shareholders.

Amendments. The Committee may at any time terminate or from time to time amend the Plan in whole or in part, but no such action shall adversely affect any rights or obligations with respect to any Awards granted prior to the date of such termination or amendment except to the extent that the Committee reasonably determines that such termination or amendment is necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law (including the provisions of the Code (and the regulations thereunder) pertaining to the deferral of compensation) or the rules and regulations of any stock exchange on which Common Stock is listed or quoted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Corporation’s shareholders shall have first approved the amendment, no amendment of the Plan shall be effective if the amendment would (i) increase the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered under the Plan or to any one individual (except to the extent such amendment is made pursuant to Section 9 hereof), (ii) extend the maximum period during which Awards may be granted under the Plan, (iii) add to the types of awards that may be made under the Plan, (iv) change the Performance Measures pursuant to which Performance Shares are earned, (v) modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan, or (vi) require shareholder approval pursuant to the Plan, applicable law, or the rules of the principal securities exchange on which shares of Common Stock are traded in order to be effective.

Governing Law. All questions pertaining to the construction, interpretation, regulation, validity, and effect of the provisions of the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to conflict of laws principles, except to the extent superseded by federal law.

Termination. No Awards shall be made under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the date on which the Corporation’s shareholders approve the Plan.
