MASTERCARD INCORPORATED

Under Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

FIRST: The name of the corporation is MASTERCARD INCORPORATED (hereinafter called the “Corporation”).

SECOND: The Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on May 9, 2001. An Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 28, 2002. The current Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”) was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on May 30, 2006 and became effective on May 31, 2006.

THIRD: The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended to effect certain changes, as set forth below, pursuant to Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Specifically, upon the effective date hereof, Section 4.3 of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will be amended to:

•

Provide that the Corporation may from time to time permit, subject to any conditions that it may determine in its sole discretion to impose (including, without limitation, any requirements the Corporation may impose to facilitate the orderly entry of converted shares of the Corporation’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) into the public trading market), holders of shares of the Corporation’s Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”) to convert such shares into an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock (each, a “Conversion Transaction”) prior to May 31, 2010; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not authorize a Conversion Transaction if such transaction, given pro forma effect (1) would cause the percentage equal to the number of issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock divided by the sum of the number of issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, based on the number of shares outstanding as of the end of the prior fiscal quarter or such other more recent date to be established at the discretion of the Corporation, to fall below 15% or (2) taken together with all other Conversion Transactions effected during such calendar year, would cause the percentage equal to the number of issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock divided by the sum of the number of issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, based on the number of shares outstanding as of December 31 of the prior calendar year, to decrease by more than 10 percentage points.

•

Remove the “right of first refusal” of Class A members and affiliate members of MasterCard International, a membership corporation, set forth in Section 4.3(E).

•

Create an exception to the prohibition against members of MasterCard International beneficially owning Class A Common Stock set forth in Section 4.3(K)(1), to allow such members to own shares of Class A Common Stock for a transitory period no longer than 30 days following a Conversion Transaction. Members of MasterCard International will not be permitted to vote any shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by them.

•

Delete Section 4.3(F), which provides for the redemption of Class B Common Stock following the consummation of the Corporation’s initial public offering, since this redemption has already occurred and the provision is now obsolete.

FOURTH: Section 4.3 of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended to read in its entirety as set out in Exhibit A.

FIFTH: Immediately prior to the effective date hereof, the holders of Class B Common Stock were generally permitted to convert these shares into an equivalent number of shares of Class A Common Stock in connection with a sale of such shares commencing on May 31, 2010. As set forth above, upon the effectiveness of this Certificate, the Corporation may permit the holders of Class B Common Stock to convert their shares into an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock from time to time prior to such date, subject to the limitations that no such transaction, given pro forma effect (1) would cause the percentage equal to the number of issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock divided by the sum of the number of issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, based on the number of shares outstanding as of the end of the prior fiscal quarter or such other more recent date to be established at the discretion of the Corporation, to fall below 15% or (2) taken together with all other Conversion Transactions effected during such calendar year, would cause the percentage equal to the number of issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock divided by the sum of the number of issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, based on the number of shares outstanding as of December 31 of the prior calendar year, to decrease by more than 10 percentage points.

SIXTH: The foregoing amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was authorized by a resolution of the Board of Directors on April 5, 2007, and by a vote of the Shareholders of the Corporation on June 7, 2007.

Exhibit A

Section 4.3 of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended by this Certificate of Amendment

Section 4.3.Common Stock.

(A)Voting Rights.

(1) Each holder of Class A Common Stock, as such, shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Class A Common Stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include the election of Class M Directors (as defined below));provided,however, that to the fullest extent permitted by law, holders of Class A Common Stock, as such, shall have no voting power with respect to, and shall not be entitled to vote on (a) any amendment to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) or pursuant to the DGCL, or (b) any amendment to Section 4.3(A)(3)(c).

(2) To the fullest extent permitted by law, holders of Class B Common Stock, as such, shall have no voting power and shall not be entitled to vote on any matter.

(3) (a) Except as expressly set forth in Article IV, Section 4.3(A)(3)(b) and Article V, Section 5.1, to the fullest extent permitted by law, holders of Class M Common Stock, as such, shall have no voting power and shall not be entitled to vote on any matter;provided, however, that, in addition to any other vote required by law, for so long as any shares of Class M Common Stock remain issued and outstanding, the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast thereon by the holders of the Class M Common Stock, voting separately as a class, shall be required for:

1) any sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets or of any subsidiary of the Corporation, in each case which requires the approval of the stockholders of the Corporation under the DGCL, or approval of any sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the assets of MasterCard International Incorporated (“MasterCard International”);

2) the consummation of any merger or consolidation of the Corporation or any approval of the consummation of any merger or consolidation of MasterCard International, in either case, (a) with any other corporation or entity prior to the date that is 20 years and 11 months following the date of the consummation of the Corporation’s initial public offering of the Class A Common Stock (the “Initial Public Offering”), or (b) with (i) any competitor of the Corporation, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, (ii) any Member (as defined below) or (iii) any financial institution that is eligible to become a Member, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion;

3) any amendment or modification of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to authorize the issuance of capital stock other than Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, Class M Common Stock or Preferred Stock prior to the date that is 20 years and 11 months following the date of the consummation of the Initial Public Offering;

4) the Corporation to cease to engage (directly or through its subsidiaries) in the business of providing core network authorization, clearing and settlement services for branded payment card transactions;

5) any alteration, amendment or repeal of any provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation if such alteration, amendment or repeal would have the effect of permitting (i) any Person (as defined below) to Beneficially Own (as defined below) (a) shares of Class A Common Stock representing more than 15% of the aggregate outstanding shares or voting power of Class A Common Stock; (b) shares of any other class or series of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of

directors (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include Class M Common Stock) (“Other Voting Stock”) representing more than 15% of the aggregate outstanding shares or voting power of such class or series of Other Voting Stock; or (c) shares of Class A Common Stock and/or Other Voting Stock representing more than 15% of the aggregate voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at an election of directors, voting as a single class, or (ii) any Member or Similar Person (as defined below) to Beneficially Own any share of Class A Common Stock or Other Voting Stock; and

6) any alteration, amendment or repeal of any provision of this Article IV, Section 4.3(A)(3), the last sentence of Article V, Section 5.1, Article VI, Section 6.1(A), Article VI, Section 6.4 or Article VI, Section 6.5 of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the adoption of any provision inconsistent therewith.

(b) For so long as any shares of Class M Common Stock are outstanding, holders of outstanding Class M Common Stock, voting separately as a class, shall be entitled to elect a number of directors of the Corporation (each, a “Class M Director”) that is equal to the lesser of (x) three and (y) the product of¹/4multiplied by the total number of directors that will be in office immediately following such election (rounded down to the nearest whole number). For so long as any shares of Class M Common Stock are outstanding, any Class M Director may be removed without cause by the affirmative vote of at least a majority in voting power of all the then outstanding shares of Class M Common Stock, voting separately as a class.

(c) The aggregate number of votes that may be cast by all holders of the Class M Common Stock shall on all matters equal 1000 and each holder of Class M Common Stock, without regard to the number of shares of Class M Common Stock held by such holder, shall be entitled to that number of votes or fraction thereof that equals the product of 1000 multiplied by such holder’s Global Proxy Calculation, as such term is defined in, and determined in accordance with this Section 4.3(A)(3)(c). For purposes of determining the number of votes, or fraction thereof, to which each holder of Class M Common Stock shall be entitled, the Global Proxy Calculation for each such holder of Class M Common Stock shall be equal to the sum obtained by adding (A) .25 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is such holder’s Gross Dollar Volume (GDV) and the denominator of which is the Corporation’s Gross Dollar Volume (GDV) attributable to all holders of Class M Common Stock of the Corporation, plus (B) .25 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is such holder’s Gross Acquiring Volume (GAV) and the denominator of which is the Corporation’s Gross Acquiring Volume (GAV) attributable to all holders of Class M Common Stock of the Corporation, plus (C) .50 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the Revenues Paid by such holder to the Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries relating to all matters other than travelers cheque programs, plus (2) two times the Revenues Paid by the holder to the Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries relating to travelers cheque programs, and the denominator of which is the sum of (1) the Revenues Paid by all holders of Class M Common Stock to the Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries relating to all matters other than travelers cheque programs, plus (2) two times the Revenues Paid by all holders of Class M Common Stock to the Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries relating to travelers cheque programs, in each case for the applicable period. No Gross Dollar Volume (GDV) or Gross Acquiring Volume (GAV) shall be attributable to travelers cheque programs for purposes of the Global Proxy Calculation. The Board may fix a record date for the purposes of determining those holders of Class M Common Stock of record whose Gross Dollar Volume (GDV), Gross Acquiring Volume (GAV) and Revenues Paid shall be included in determining a Global Proxy Calculation for a particular period, which record date shall not be more than 30 days prior to the end of any such period. Only actual, as opposed to estimated, Gross Dollar Volume (GDV) and Gross Acquiring Volume (GAV) and Revenues Paid information will be used in determining the Global Proxy Calculation for each holder of Class M Common Stock.

The Global Proxy Calculation shall be calculated for each successive 12-month period beginning on July 1, 2005;provided,however, that for Global Proxy Calculations for periods ending after June 30, 2007, the Board may

elect to use the Corporation’s fiscal year as the basis for the Global Proxy Calculation; andprovided, further, that the Board may elect to use any other 12-month period as the basis for the Global Proxy Calculation if it determines in its sole and absolute discretion that such election is necessary or desirable. The Corporation, acting through relevant employees selected by the Chief Executive Officer from time to time, shall compute the Global Proxy Calculation for each holder of Class M Common Stock for each applicable 12-month period and the results of such computation will be on file at the Corporation’s principal office and will be made available to any stockholder of the Corporation upon request 180 days after the end of the 12-month period to which the computation relates. The Global Proxy Calculation for any 12-month period shall remain in effect for any and all matters until the calculation for a more recent 12-month period is made available by the Corporation. The Board may make such interpretations with respect to the implementation of the Global Proxy Calculation as it may determine to be necessary or desirable in its sole and absolute discretion and shall have the final authority, which may be delegated to the officers of the Corporation, to determine the Global Proxy Calculation for any period in its sole and absolute discretion, and any such determination shall be final and binding for all purposes unless the Board determines that an error was made in the computation, in which case the computation shall be corrected in accordance with the directions of the Board.

“Gross Dollar Volume” means processed and non-processed issued Volumes (including domestic and international retail purchases, cash transactions, convenience checks, on-us transactions, intra-processor transactions, local use only transactions and balance and commercial funds transfers) that occur as a result of one or more of (A) a transaction involving any one of the Corporation’s brands (e.g., MasterCard^®, Eurocard^®, Maestro^®, Cirrus^® and ec Picto^®) or (B) a non-MasterCard branded transaction involving a card which includes any one of the Corporation’s brand logos as well as other payment brand logos, provided that such other payment brands are not in direct competition with any of the Corporation’s brands, as determined by the Corporation.

“Permitted Purse Brand” means a brand representing a stored value application that is permitted to be used by members of MasterCard International under the By-Laws and Rules of MasterCard International.

“Revenues Paid” for any period means, with respect to a particular holder of Class M Common Stock, all revenues of the Corporation on a consolidated basis, calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, that are generated by the activities of that holder, other than (1) any fees or other charges associated with the termination of that holder’s membership in MasterCard International, (2) Integration Assessments (as defined in the By-Laws of MasterCard International) paid by that holder, (3) other assessments, fees and charges paid by that holder in its capacity as a member of MasterCard International if those assessments, fees or charges were imposed on less than all of the members of MasterCard International (except for assessments, fees and charges pertaining to business development, ordinary course of business and other matters deemed to be includable by the management of MasterCard International in its sole discretion) and (4) fines and penalties paid by that holder (except as determined in the sole discretion of the management of MasterCard International).

“volume-based assessment” means a bona fide, non de minimis assessment typically expressed as a percentage of the Gross Dollar Volume (GDV) or Gross Acquiring Volume (GAV) associated with a particular type of transaction.

“Volumes” means the following four types of volumes in the specified percentages:

1. Type 1 shall include 100% of all (1) volumes on cards that include a MasterCard^{^®} brand logo and that are subject to volume-based assessments or card fee assessments, (2) Maestro^® and Cirrus^® processed debit volumes and (3) Maestro^® and Cirrus^® debit volumes that are subject to volume-based assessments, so long as Maestro^®, a Permitted Purse Brand and/or Cirrus^® is the sole acceptance brand on the card.

2. Type 1A shall include 75% of all ec Picto^® volumes and other similar debit volumes that in each case have been converted to Maestro^® volumes so long as Maestro^®, a Permitted Purse Brand and/or Cirrus^® is the sole acceptance brand on the card and the card is subject to card fee assessments.

3. Type 2 shall include the following percentages of all volumes for regional debit brands owned solely by the Corporation on cards that include a Maestro^® and/or Cirrus^® logo; provided that such cards are subject to volume-based assessments or card fee assessments; andprovided, further, that for calculations for the 12-month periods ending June 30, 2005, 2006 and 2007, there is a binding written commitment to remove all acceptance brand logos, other than the Maestro^® brand logo, the Cirrus^® brand logo or a Permitted Purse Brand logo, on the cards not later than July 1, 2007:

For each Global Proxy Calculation, all Volumes described above will be included in calculating Gross Dollar Volume and Gross Acquiring Volume whether those Volumes are assessed directly or the cards to which they relate are subject to card fee assessments of the type contemplated by the applicable type of Volume. In addition, for each Global Proxy Calculation performed with respect to periods ending on or prior to June 30, 2005, Volumes of the types described above will be included even if they are not subject to volume-based or card fee assessments. References to a “brand” shall include any successors to that brand.

For purposes of determining the Global Proxy Calculation, the conversion of Euros into U.S. dollars will be based on the average exchange rate during the twenty-day period ending on the day prior to the applicable measurement date (the “Prevailing Exchange Rate”), provided that during all periods prior to June 30, 2007, the Prevailing Exchange Rate shall be $.9565 U.S. = 1 Euro for so long as 1 Euro is not less than $.9065 U.S. and not greater than $1.0065 U.S. (the “Currency Conversion Band”). In the event that the Prevailing Exchange Rate does not fall within the Currency Conversion Band, the currency conversion rate to convert Euros to U.S. Dollars will be $.9565 adjusted by the difference between such Prevailing Exchange Rate and the upper/lower limit of the Currency Conversion Band, as applicable.

For purposes of determining the Global Proxy Calculation during the period set forth in the preceding paragraph, amounts denominated in the currency of a country within the Europe Region (as defined in the Integration Agreement) other than the Euro shall first be converted into Euros and subsequently converted into U.S. dollars in accordance with the previous paragraph.

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, for purposes of determining the Global Proxy Calculation for each stockholder for each of the seven years after June 30, 2005, (i) $100 million will be subtracted from the

denominator of the Revenues Paid component of the Global Proxy Calculation relating to all matters other than travelers cheque programs, irrespective of whether the Corporation earned such amount as revenues under U.S. GAAP, and (ii) an “Adjustment Amount” will be subtracted from the numerator of the Revenues Paid component of the Global Proxy Calculation relating to all matters other than travelers cheque programs, irrespective of whether the stockholder paid such amount in revenues to the Corporation. “Adjustment Amount” means: (a) for each stockholder that is designated on the books and records of the Corporation (which shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes) as part of the U.S. Region of the Corporation (a “U.S. Stockholder”), an amount calculated by multiplying $100 million by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Revenues Paid by such U.S. Stockholder to the Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to adjustment pursuant to this Section and the denominator of which is the Revenues Paid by all U.S. Stockholders to the Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to adjustment pursuant to this Section; and (b) for each other stockholder of the Corporation, zero.

(B)Dividends and Distributions.

(1) Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock or any class or series of stock having a preference over or the right to participate with the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock with respect to the payment of dividends, dividends may be declared and paid on the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock out of the assets of the Corporation that are by law available therefor at such times and in such amounts as the Board in its discretion shall determine. Except as otherwise required by the DGCL, in any circumstance where the Corporation may declare dividends or otherwise make distributions (including, without limitation, any distribution on liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation) on either the Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, the Corporation shall declare the same per share dividends or make the same per share distributions, as the case may be, on such other class of Common Stock;provided,however, that if any such dividends or distributions are declared with respect to the Class A Common Stock in the form of additional shares of Class A Common Stock, such dividends or distributions shall be made with respect to the Class B Common Stock in the form of an equivalent number of shares of Class B Common Stock and if any such dividends or distributions are declared with respect to the Class B Common Stock in the form of additional shares of Class B Common Stock, such dividends or distributions shall be made with respect to the Class A Common Stock in the form of an equivalent number of shares of Class A Common Stock.

(2) Dividends or other distributions shall not be declared or paid on the Class M Common Stock.

(C)Ownership of Class B Common Stock.Class B Common Stock may only be held by (i) a Class A member or affiliate member of MasterCard International, (ii) the Corporation or a subsidiary thereof or (iii) a director, officer or employee of the Corporation or a subsidiary thereof. Any transfer or purported transfer that would result in a violation of the immediately preceding sentence shall be voidab initio and any shares of Class B Common Stock held in violation of this Section 4.3(C) may be redeemed by the Corporation, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the per share consideration paid in the transaction that resulted in such violative transfer (or, in the case of a devise, gift or other such transaction without consideration, the Market Price at the time of such devise or gift or other such transaction) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the Corporation, or its designee, elects to redeem such shares.

(D)Conversion.

(1) (A) Any holder of Class B Common Stock may, at any time and from time to time commencing with the date that is the fourth anniversary of the date of the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, at such holder’s option, convert all or any portion of such holder’s shares of Class B Common Stock into an equal number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock by delivery of written or electronic notice (or such other reasonable means as the Corporation may establish) to the Corporation (and, if such shares are held in certificated form, delivery and surrender to the Corporation of the certificates representing the shares of Class B Common Stock to be so converted);provided, however, that nothing herein shall entitle any Person to convert Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock if this would result in any Member (including such Person) Beneficially Owning any share of Class A Common Stock except as permitted pursuant to Section 4.3(D)(1)(B). Subject to the provisos contained in the immediately preceding sentence, a conversion

pursuant to this Section 4.3(D)(1)(A) may be effected in connection with a transfer of shares Beneficially Owned by a Member. Upon such delivery of written notice (and, if applicable, surrender of certificates) pursuant to this Section 4.3(D)(1)(A), the Corporation shall deliver or cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the record owner of such shares of Class B Common Stock the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock into which the shares of such Class B Common Stock have been converted in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.3(D)(1)(A). The Corporation may, in connection with any conversion pursuant to this Section 4.3(D)(1)(A), require such evidence as the Board may determine in its sole discretion, that following such conversion the shares shall not be Beneficially Owned by a Member except as permitted pursuant to Section 4.3(D)(1)(B). The Board may from time to time establish such procedures as it may in its sole and absolute discretion determine to be necessary or desirable for the orderly conversion of Class B Common Stock, which procedures shall be binding upon the holders of Class B Common Stock.

(B) Without limiting or expanding the rights conferred by Section 4.3(D)(1), the Corporation is hereby expressly authorized to permit holders of Class B Common Stock to convert such shares into an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock (each, a “Conversion Transaction”), subject to any conditions the Corporation may determine to impose in its sole discretion including, without limitation, any requirements the Corporation may impose to facilitate the orderly entry of converted shares of Class A Common Stock into the public trading market, prior to the fourth anniversary of the date of the consummation of the Initial Public Offering;provided, however, that the Corporation shall not authorize a Conversion Transaction if such transaction, given pro forma effect (i) would cause the percentage equal to the number of issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock divided by the sum of the number of issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, based on the number of shares outstanding as of the end of the prior fiscal quarter or such other more recent date to be established at the discretion of the Corporation, to fall below 15% or (ii) taken together with all other Conversion Transactions effected during such calendar year, would cause the percentage equal to the number of issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock divided by the sum of the number of issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock based on the number of shares outstanding as of December 31 of the prior calendar year (giving effect to any intervening dividend of additional shares or subdivision, combination or consolidation of outstanding shares) to decrease by more than 10 percentage points.

(C) Following the occurrence of a conversion pursuant to Section 4.3(D)(1)(A) or 4.3(D)(1)(B) and prior to sale, Members shall be permitted to Beneficially Own Class A Common Stock for a period which shall not exceed 30 days (such period, the “Transitory Ownership Period”);provided, however, that during the Transitory Ownership Period, Members shall not be permitted to vote any shares of Class A Common Stock Beneficially Owned by them.

(2) The Corporation will pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock on the conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock pursuant to Section 4.3(D)(1)(A) or 4.3(D)(1)(B);provided,however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any taxes which may be payable in respect of any registration of transfer involved in the issue or delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock in a name other than that of the record owner of Class B Common Stock converted or to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such taxes or has established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation, that such taxes have been paid.

(3) As long as any shares of Class B Common Stock shall be outstanding, the Corporation shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock, that number of shares of Class A Common Stock necessary to effect the conversion of all of the then outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock. If at any time the Board determines that the number of authorized but unissued

shares of Class A Common Stock would be insufficient to effect the conversion of all of the then outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, the Board shall use all reasonable efforts to cause the Corporation’s authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock to be increased to such number of shares as shall be sufficient to effect such conversion.

(4) Upon the occurrence of a conversion pursuant to Section 4.3(D)(1)(A) or 4.3(D)(1)(B), the Class B Common Stock so converted shall be retired and may not be reissued.

(5) Shares of Class M Common Stock and shares of Class A Common Stock shall not be convertible into any other class or series.

(E) [Reserved].

(F) [Reserved].

(G)Issuance and Retirement of Class M Common Stock.

(1) Following the Filing Time, for so long as Class M Common Stock remains issued and outstanding, the Corporation shall issue a share of Class M Common Stock to each new Class A member of MasterCard International upon such new Class A member of MasterCard International becoming such and the delivery by such new Class A member of MasterCard International of a fully executed license agreement to MasterCard International.

(2) In the event that any outstanding share of Class M Common Stock shall cease to be held by a Class A member of MasterCard International (including, without limitation, if a Class A member of MasterCard International holding such share shall cease to retain such status), such share shall automatically and without further action on the part of the Corporation or any holder of Class M Common Stock be transferred to the Corporation and thereupon shall be retired. In addition, and without further action on the part of the Corporation or any holder of Class M Common Stock, all outstanding shares of Class M Common Stock shall automatically be transferred to the Corporation and thereupon shall be retired and thereafter shall be unavailable for issue or reissue, and the Corporation shall not thereafter have the authority to issue additional shares of Class M Common Stock, upon the earliest to occur of:

(a) the approval thereof by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast thereon by the holders of Class M Common Stock voting as a separate class; or

(b) the day on which the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock represent less than 15% of the aggregate outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.

(H)Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation and of the preferential and other amounts, if any, to which the holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled, the holders of all outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to receive the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution ratably in proportion to the number of shares held by each such stockholder. The holders of shares of Class M Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to receive any assets of the Corporation in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation.

(I)Mergers, Consolidation, Etc.
