In conjunction with entering into the new lease agreement, the Company terminated the original synthetic lease agreement for Winghaven, which included a ten-year term with MCI O&#x2019;Fallon 1999 Trust (the &#x201C;Trust&#x201D;) as the lessor. The Trust, which was a variable interest entity, was established for a single discrete purpose, was not an operating entity, had a limited life and had no employees. The Trust had financed Winghaven through a combination of a third party equity investment in the amount of $4,620 and the issuance of 7.36 percent Series A Senior Secured Notes (the &#x201C;Secured Notes&#x201D;) with an aggregate principal amount of $149,380 and a maturity date of September&#xA0;1, 2009. MasterCard International executed a guarantee of 85.15 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes outstanding, for a total of $127,197. Additionally, upon the occurrence of specific events of default, MasterCard International guaranteed the repayment of the total outstanding principal and interest on the Secured Notes and agreed to take ownership of the facility. During 2004, MasterCard Incorporated became party to the guarantee and assumed certain covenant compliance obligations, including financial reporting and maintenance of a certain level of consolidated net worth. As the primary beneficiary of the Trust, the Company had consolidated the assets and liabilities of the Trust in its consolidated financial statements.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">Effective March&#xA0;1, 2009, the aggregate outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Secured Notes was repaid, the investor equity was redeemed, and the guarantee obligations of MasterCard International and MasterCard Incorporated were terminated. The aggregate principal amount and interest plus a &#x201C;make-whole&#x201D; amount repaid to the holders of Secured Notes and the equity investor was $164,572. The &#x201C;make-whole&#x201D; amount of $4,874 included in the repayment represented the discounted value of the remaining principal and interest on the Secured Notes, less the outstanding principal balance and an equity investor premium. Also as a result of the transaction, $154,000 of short-term municipal bonds classified as held-to-maturity investments were cancelled.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">The Trust is no longer considered a variable interest entity and is no longer consolidated by the Company. During the period when the Trust was a consolidated entity within the years ended December&#xA0;31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, its operations had no impact on net income. However, interest income and interest expense were increased by $6,773, $11,390 and $11,390 in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company did not provide any financial or other support that it was not contractually required to provide during each of the years ended December&#xA0;31, 2009, 2008 and 2007.</font></p> </div> Note 15.
