<font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">Effective
March 1, 2009, MasterCard executed a new ten-year lease
between MasterCard, as tenant, and the Missouri Development Finance
Board (“MDFB”), as landlord, for MasterCard’s
global technology and operations center located in O’Fallon,
Missouri, called Winghaven (see Note 15 (Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entity)). The lease includes a bargain purchase option and
is thus classified as a capital lease. The building and land assets
and capital lease obligation have been recorded at $154,000, which
represents the lesser of the present value of the minimum lease
payments and the fair value of the building and land assets. The
Company received refunding revenue bonds issued by MDFB in the
exact amount, $154,000, and with the same payment terms as the
capital lease and which contain the legal right of setoff with the
capital lease. The Company has netted its investment in the MDFB
refunding revenue bonds and the corresponding capital lease
obligation in the consolidated balance sheet. The related leasehold
improvements for Winghaven will continue to be amortized over the
economic life of the improvements.</font></p>
