This excerpt taken from the MA DEF 14A filed Apr 23, 2009. Employment Agreements The Company is party to an employment agreement with each of the named executive officers, other than Mr. Flood. We have excluded Mr. Heuer from this discussion as he retired from the Company effective December 31, 2008. The payments which Mr. Heuer is eligible to receive are described immediately following the tables below. In December 2008, the existing agreements of Messrs. Selander, Hanft and McWilton were revised to, among other things, comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and incorporate and replace other agreements such as change in control agreements that had been entered into with these executive officers. In December 2008, the Company also entered into an employment agreement with Ms. Hund-Mejean to replace a 2007 offer letter previously provided to her. The new employment agreements, which were publicly filed by the Company as exhibits to a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC on January 2, 2009, also reflect changes negotiated with the executives. This excerpt taken from the MA DEF 14A filed Apr 24, 2008. Employment Agreements The Company is party to an employment agreement with each of the named executive officers, other than Ms. Hund-Mejean, and to date is party only to an employment offer letter with Ms. Hund-Mejean. We have excluded Mr. Dunbar from this discussion as he voluntarily resigned from the Company effective March 15, 2008. The payments which Mr. Dunbar is eligible to receive, as well as the payments Mr. Dunbar would have been eligible to receive if he had resigned on December 31, 2007, are described immediately following the tables below. In addition, Mr. Heuer is expected to retire from the Company at the end of 2008. Mr. Selanders employment agreement, a form of employment agreement for the other named executive officers and the material terms of Ms. Hund-Mejeans employment offer letter have been previously filed with the SEC. Mr. Selander. Under the terms of Mr. Selanders employment agreement, Mr. Selanders employment will automatically terminate if he: (1) retires; (2) dies; or (3) becomes disabled. In addition, both he and the Company can terminate the agreement for any reason upon 90 days prior written notice. During the employment term, Mr. Selander is eligible to participate in the Companys plans and arrangements on a level commensurate with his position. The agreement provides that if Mr. Selanders employment is terminated either by the Company other than for cause or by him for specified reasons, in addition to any earned, but unpaid base salary and vested entitlements under any Company plans, he would be entitled to, subject to his execution of a release of liability in favor of the Company:
For terminations by reason of death or disability, Mr. Selander would be entitled to his target annual bonus (pro rated in the case of disability). Following termination of employment, Mr. Selander would be subject to non-competition and non-solicitation covenants for a minimum period of 12 months, up to 36 months. On February 28, 2005, the Company entered into an additional agreement with Mr. Selander, which modified his employment agreement. This agreement provides for a retention payment of $10,000,000 payable to Mr. Selander on his termination of employment, provided that he remains employed by the Company in good standing until a date to be established by our Board of Directors that is no earlier than April 9, 2010, but no later than April 9, 2011 (the Retention Date), meets specified performance standards and provides requested assistance in identifying his successor and transitioning his responsibilities to such person. Under certain circumstances Mr. Selander may be entitled to a pro rata portion of the retention payment if his employment is terminated prior to the Retention Date. Mr. Selanders receipt of the retention payment is further conditioned upon his agreement to 36 month post-termination non-compete and non-solicitation covenants, subject to shorter periods if he is terminated for cause or if he resigns as a result of a change in the strategic direction of the Company to which he objects, and his execution of a release of liability in favor of the Company. Ms. Hund-Mejean. Under the terms of Ms. Hund-Mejeans employment offer letter with the Company, if her employment is terminated without cause or she terminates her employment for good reason within the first twelve

Table of Contentsmonths of her employment, then she will receive severance in accordance with the terms of the MasterCard International Incorporated Severance Plan in effect at the time of such termination, or she will receive two years base pay plus two years target bonus, whichever is greater. She will receive severance and bonus as described in the previous sentence if she is terminated without cause or she terminates for good reason and such termination occurs either six months prior to or two years after a change in control (as defined in her offer letter). After the first twelve months of her employment, if Ms. Hund-Mejean is terminated without cause or she terminates for good reason, she will receive the greater of: (1) two years base pay plus target bonus prorated for her service in the year of termination or (2) an amount specified in an employment agreement to be provided to her within the first twelve months of her employment. The severance payments would be subject to Ms. Hund-Mejeans execution of an agreement and release which would include a non-competition agreement. In the event that Mr. Selander leaves the Company, leading to a restructuring of the Company that results in Ms. Hund-Mejeans termination prior to December 7, 2010, all of Ms. Hund-Mejeans then-unvested RSUs granted on December 7, 2007 will immediately vest.
