 Exhibit 10.1 
 MASTERCARD INCORPORATED 
 DEFERRAL PLAN 
 AS AMENDED AND RESTATED EFFECTIVE FOR ACCOUNT
BALANCES ESTABLISHED AFTER 
 DECEMBER 31, 2004 







 FOREWORD 
 Effective as of September 30, 1998, MasterCard International Incorporated (the “Company”) adopted the MasterCard International Incorporated Deferral Plan (the “Plan”) for the benefit of non-employee members of its
Board of Directors, and a select group of management or highly compensated employees. The Plan was amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2000, as of August 1, 2000, as of July 25, 2001, and as of January 1, 2003.
Amendments to comply with Code section 409A, and to reflect transitional relief permitted to Participants, were made in June 2007 by means of an amended and restated Plan effective for balances established after December 31, 2004. The Plan was
operated in good faith compliance with section 409A before the Plan document was amended to conform with section 409A, consistent with the election and distribution rules set forth in the amended and restated Plan. The Plan is intended to be an
unfunded plan of deferred compensation. The purpose of the Plan is to permit the Directors and a select group of management or highly compensated employees within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended, to defer, pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, a portion of certain items of income otherwise payable to them.

submit a Deferral Period Election that indicates when payment of such deferred Director Compensation and any Investment Return credited thereon pursuant to Section 3.5 shall commence. Such Deferral Period Election shall be

deemed to be within 90 days following the date the Participant ceases to serve as a Director. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.4(b), such
Deferral Period Election shall not be changed or revoked.

Committee for making such Deferral Election. Salary deferred pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be credited to the Executive’s Deferred Account (or, if none, to a new such account established in the Executive’s name) as of each
payroll period of the calendar year to which it pertains. The amount of Salary that is deferred pursuant to this Deferred Salary Election will reduce the Executive’s Salary proportionately throughout the year or, in the case of the first Plan

the time of such election, submit Investment Return Option Elections indicating the Investment Return Options to be used to determine the Investment Return to be credited to his or her Deferred Account as provided under Section 3.5. Separate
Investment Return Option Elections may be made with respect to each Deferral Period Election as provided under Section 3.2(e), provided that each Investment Return Option allocated in such election must be in increments of 1%. If no Investment
Return Election is made, the Investment Return credited will be based on the return earned by the money market or equivalent fund within the Investment Return Options selected by the Administrative Committee. Except as provided in
Section 3.5(b), such Investment Return Option Elections shall not be changed or revoked.

 The Company may, in its sole discretion award to a Participant Non-Elective Deferral Amounts. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan or
a written agreement between the Company and the Participant any such award shall be subject to the terms and conditions as amounts credited to a Participant’s Deferred Account pursuant to a Deferral Election. 
 3.4 Change-of-Form Elections and Additional Deferral Elections 
 (a) Any Participant who has made a Deferral Election may make an additional election to change the Form of Distribution under rules
prescribed by the Administrative Committee. Any such Change-of-Form Election(s) is permitted with respect to the portion of the balance in a Deferred Account that shares the same Deferral Period and Form of Distribution Election. The Form of
Distribution may be changed to any acceptable form of distribution under Section 3.1(f) or 3.2(f). No such Change-of-Form Election will be effective with respect to any such balance in any Participant’s Deferred Account until twelve months
following the date of the Change-of-Form Election. In the case of a Deferral Period under Section 3.1(e)(i) or Section 3.2(e)(i) (January 15 of a specified year), the Change-of-Form Elections must be made no less than twelve months prior
to the date, as elected under Section 3.1(e) or Section 3.2(e), to which the portion of the Deferred Account is to be deferred or, in the case of installments, is to begin to be deferred. A Change-of-Form Election shall result in the
deferral of distributions by an additional five years after the original Deferral Period. 
  

 10 








 (b) Any Participant who has made a Deferral Election and has made a Deferral Period
Election under Section 3.1(e)(i) or Section 3.2(e)(i) (January 15 of a specified year) may make an additional election to change the initial starting date for distributions of such balance in his or her Deferred Account under rules
prescribed by the Administrative Committee. Separate Additional Deferral Elections may be made with respect to each portion of the balance in a Deferred Account that is attributable to Deferral Elections with the same elected Deferral Period and
Form of Distribution. The Additional Deferral Election(s) may change the initial starting date for distributions to a later year, but not to an event set forth in Section 3.1(e)(ii) or 3.2(e)(ii). No such Additional Deferral Election will be
effective with respect to any such balance in any Participant’s Deferred Account until twelve months following the date of the Additional Deferral Election. The Additional Deferral Elections must be made no less than twelve months prior to the
date, as elected under Section 3.1(e)(i) or Section 3.2(e)(i), to which the portion of the Deferred Account is to be deferred . The Additional Deferral Election must defer payment not less than five years after the original Deferral

previous years. 
 (b) Participants will be entitled to change the Investment Return to be applied to his or her Deferral
Account. Separate reallocations may be made with respect to balances attributable to Deferral Elections with the same Deferral Period and same Form of Distribution Election, provided, however, that no more than twelve (12) changes may be made
to any balance in any calendar year. Such Change-of-Investment Return Elections shall be made on a written or electronic form to be prescribed and furnished by, or in a manner established by, the Administrative Committee or its delegate.
Change-of-Investment Return Elections will be effective on a prospective basis only as soon as practicable after the Change-of-Investment Return Election is made. 
 (c) Within 60 days following the end of each calendar quarter, the Administrative Committee or its delegate shall furnish each Participant
with a statement of account, either in writing or electronic form, which shall set forth the balance in the individual’s Deferred Account as of the end of such calendar year, inclusive of cumulative Investment Return.

 (a) Except as provided below, upon occurrence of an event specified in the Participant’s Deferral Period Election, as modified by any
applicable subsequent Additional Deferral Election under Section 3.4(b), or, in the event no Deferral Period Election is made, upon the date prescribed in Section 3.1(e) or 3.2(e), the amount of a Participant’s Deferred Account shall
be paid or begin to be paid in cash to the Participant or beneficiary, as applicable. Such payment(s) shall be from the general assets of the Company or, in the case of an employee of an Affiliated Employer, from the general assets of the Company or

 (b) Except as provided below, deferred amounts shall be paid in the form elected by the
Participant under Section 3.1(f) and 3.2(f) and modified by any applicable subsequent Change-of-Form Elections under Section 3.4(a), or in the event no Form of Distribution Election is made, in the form prescribed in Section 3.1(f) or
Section 3.2(f). 
 (c) Notwithstanding Sections 3.6(a) and (b) above, in the event of an Executive or
Director’s death, the Participant’s entire Deferred Account balance shall be valued and distributed in a lump sum within 90 days of death, notwithstanding the Participant’s Deferral Period Elections and Form of Distribution Elections
then in effect. 
 (d) Notwithstanding Sections 3.6(a) and (b) above, in the event of an Executive Participant’s
Termination from Service other than by Qualified Retirement, the Participant’s entire Deferred Account balance shall be valued and distributed in a lump sum six months following Termination from Service, notwithstanding the Participant’s
Deferral Period Elections and Form of Distribution Elections then in effect. 
 (e) Annual installment payments shall be
valued and distributed on January 15, the first annual installment of which shall postdate the effective date of the event that triggers the commencement of distribution, provided, however, that, in the case of annual installments
payable by reason of an Executive Participant’s Qualified Retirement, the payments shall begin on the January 15 that is at least six month after the Qualified Retirement. In the event that the present value of a Participant’s
remaining annual installments is less than $10,000, the entire remaining balance shall be paid in the form of a lump sum.

applicable subsequent Change-of-Form Elections or Additional Deferral Period Elections under Section 3.4, or in the event no Deferral Period Election or Form of Distribution Election is made, in the time and form prescribed in Sections 3.1(e)
and (f) or Sections 3.2(e) and (f), would result in a deduction disallowance under Code section 162(m), the Administrative Committee shall have the discretion to delay the distribution to the extent necessary to avoid the application of
section 162(m). Any distribution delayed under this Section 3.6(f) shall be made during the first year that the deduction will not be barred by Code section 162(m). 
  


 12 








 (g) In case of an unforeseeable emergency, a Participant may request the Administrative
Committee, on a form to be provided by the Administrative Committee or its delegate, that payment be made earlier than the date to which it was deferred or that there be a cessation of deferrals under the Plan. 
 For purposes of this Section 3.6(g), an “unforeseeable emergency” shall mean a severe financial hardship to the Participant
resulting from a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or of a dependent (as defined in section 152(a) of the Code), spouse, or beneficiary of the Participant, loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty, or other
similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant. The circumstances that will constitute an unforeseeable emergency will depend upon the facts of each case, but, in any case,
payment may not be made and a cessation of deferral may not occur to the extent that such hardship is or may be relieved: (i) through reimbursement or compensation by available insurance or otherwise or (ii) by liquidation of the
Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship. Distributions made under this Section 3.6(g) will be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency
need, including to satisfy any tax obligations arising out of the distribution. Moreover, payment of a deferred amount may not be made ahead of the date to which the amount was deferred to the extent that such hardship is or may be relieved by
cessation of deferrals under the Plan. 
 The Administrative Committee shall consider any requests for payment on the basis of
an unforeseeable emergency under this Section 3.6(g) on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis and in accordance with the standards of interpretation described in sections 409A and 457 of the Code and the regulations thereunder. In the event
there is a payment or a cessation of deferrals under this Section 3.6(g) on the basis of an unforeseeable emergency, the Participant shall be ineligible to make further Deferral Elections for one year from the date of the Administrative
Committee action approving the payment or cessation of deferral. 
 (h)
In the event a Participant becomes disabled and receives benefits under an Employer-provided long-term disability plan as a consequence of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment resulting in the Participant’s inability to
perform duties of his or a substantially similar position, where such impairment can be expected to result in death or for a continuous period of not less than six months, previously elected deferrals will cease. The cessation of deferrals shall
begin by the later of 2  1/2 months after, or by the end of the year in which, the Participant incurs the
disability and shall continue during the entire period the Participant receives benefits under the long-term disability plan. Distributions will be made as scheduled and as provided under this Section 3.6 unless an election is made under

 (i) The Company or Employer shall deduct from all payments under the Plan federal, state
and local income and employment taxes, as required by applicable law. Amounts deferred will be taken into account for purposes of any tax or withholding obligation under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act and Federal Unemployment Tax Act, not
in the year distributed, but at the later of the year the services are performed or the year in which the rights to the amounts are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, as required by sections 3121(v)(2) and 3306(r)(2) of the
Code and the regulations thereunder. Amounts required to be withheld pursuant to sections 3121(v)(2) and 3306(r)(2) generally shall be withheld out of other current wages paid by the Employer, but, alternatively, may be paid by the
Participant’s delivery of cash or a check satisfactory to the Administrative Committee. 
 3.7 Transition Relief Elections. 

Pursuant to Internal Revenue Service Notice 2006-79, section 3.02, the Administrative Committee has discretion to permit some or all of
the Participants to make Transitional Relief Elections in 2007 with respect to Deferred Account balances established after December 31, 2004, that are scheduled to be paid after 2007. A Transitional Relief Election under this Section 3.7
is allowed to change the Deferral Period and/or the Form of Distribution for such account balances so long as all distributions of the Deferred Account balance, after the Transitional Relief Election is taken into account, are scheduled to be made
in 2007 or later. Transitional Relief Elections under this Section 3.7 shall only be effective for an Executive if the Executive does not have a Termination from Service in 2007 and shall only be effective for a Director if the Director does
not cease being a Director in 2007. 
 3.8 General Provisions

be a funded plan for purposes of section 404(a)(5) of the Code or for purposes of Title I of ERISA, or (ii) would cause the Plan to be other than an “unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money or other property in the future” under
Treasury Regulations § 1.83-3(e); and, except in the case of a Change in Control, as defined in Section 1.5 above, the Company shall have no obligation to make any arrangement for the accumulation of funds to pay any amounts under
this Plan. Subject to the restrictions of this paragraph and in Section 3.8(c), the Company, in its sole discretion, may establish one or more grantor trusts described in Treasury Regulations § 1.677(a)-1(d) to accumulate funds to pay
amounts under this Plan, provided that the assets of such trust(s) accumulated to pay amounts to Company employees shall be required to be used to satisfy the claims of the Company’s general creditors in the event of the Company’s
bankruptcy or insolvency and the assets of such trusts(s) accumulated to pay amounts to employees of an Affiliated Employer shall be required to be used to satisfy the claims of the Company’s and the Affiliated Employer’s general creditors
in the event of the Affiliated Employer’s bankruptcy or insolvency. In the case of a Change in Control, the Company shall, subject to the restrictions in this paragraph and in Section 3.8(c), irrevocably set aside funds in one or more such
grantor trusts in an amount that is sufficient to pay each Participant (or 

  

 14 








 
beneficiary) the net present value as of the date on which the Change in Control occurred, of the benefits to which Participants (or their beneficiaries) who
have Deferred Accounts under the Plan would be entitled pursuant to the terms of the Plan. 
 (b) In the event that the
Company shall decide to establish an advance accrual reserve on its books against the future expense of payments from any Deferred Account, such reserve shall not under any circumstances be deemed to be an asset of this Plan but, at all times, shall
remain a part of the general assets of the Company and/or the Affiliated Employer, subject to claims of the Company’s and/or the Affiliated Employer’s creditors. 
 (c) A person entitled to any amount under this Plan as an Employee of the Company shall be a general unsecured creditor of the Company
with respect to such amount. A person entitled to any amount under this Plan as an Employee of an Affiliated Employer shall be a general unsecured creditor of the Company and the Affiliated Employer with respect to such amount. Furthermore, a person
entitled to a payment or distribution with respect to a Deferred Account shall have a claim upon the Company and/or Affiliated Employer only to the extent of the balance in his or her Deferred Account. 
 (d) The Participant’s beneficiary under this Plan with respect to the balance in his or her Deferred Account shall be the person
designated to receive benefits on account of the Participant’s death on a form provided by the Administrative Committee. 
 (e) All commissions, fees and expenses that may be incurred in operating the Plan and any related trust(s) established in accordance with Section 3.8(a) will be paid by the Company. 
 (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, elections under this Plan may only be made by Participants while they serve as
Directors of the Company or as Executives of an Employer. 
 3.9 Non-Assignability 
 Participants, their legal representatives and their beneficiaries shall have no right to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, transfer,
pledge or encumber their interests in the Plan, nor shall such interests be subject to attachment, garnishment, levy or execution by or on behalf of creditors of the Participants or of their beneficiaries.
