Effective January 1, 2011 Page 1
ARTICLE 1 - ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PLAN
1.01The Company established the Canadian Pacific Railway Management Supplemental Pension Plan (1998) (the “Management Plan”) and the Canadian Pacific Railway Executive Supplemental Pension Plan (1998) (the “Executive Plan”) (collectively the “Prior Plans”), both effective May 1, 1998. The Management Plan provided supplemental pension benefits primarily on a defined benefit basis to eligible management employees of the Company. The Executive Plan provided supplemental pension benefits primarily on a defined benefit basis to designated executive employees of the Company. The Prior Plans were terminated effective December 31, 2010.
1.02The Company established the Supplemental Plan effective January 1, 2011 to provide retirement benefits to eligible management and executive employees of the Company. The Supplemental Plan provides benefits primarily on a defined contribution basis to eligible Members in excess of the contributions that may be made in respect of such employees under the Basic Plan, which contributions are restricted by the maximum contributions permitted under the Income Tax Act. The Supplemental Plan preserves the supplemental defined contribution account balances, if any, as at December 31, 2010 and the entitlement to a defined benefit pension, if any, under the Prior Plans for service to December 31, 2010. Included as Appendix A are supplemental defined benefit provisions, for the purpose of preserving such legacy lifetime retirement income and related benefits to management or executive employees of the Company who participated in the defined benefit provisions of the Prior Plans. The purpose of Appendix A of the Supplemental Plan is to provide benefits to eligible employees in excess of the benefits payable to such employees under the Basic Plan, which benefits are restricted by the maximum benefits permitted under the Income Tax Act.
1.03Effective June 1, 2013, the Company established the Secondary Plan. As a result of the creation of the Secondary Plan, the Supplemental Plan was amended.
1.04The Supplemental Plan is primarily intended to restore benefits under the Basic Plan and the Secondary Plan (collectively the “Registered Plans”) to the level that would be available in accordance with the contribution or benefit formula, as applicable, under the Registered Plans if restrictions imposed by the Income Tax Act were not applicable. However, different benefits may be provided under this Supplemental Plan for individual Members or classes of Members as may be so designated from time to time.

Canadian Pacific Railway Company
Supplemental Retirement Plan
Effective January 1, 2011 Page 10
between the Company and the Trustee, for the purpose of providing security for the funding of the Trust Fund with proceeds of a Security Instrument in the event that an Event of Default shall occur. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may make contributions to the Trust Fund to fund the Liabilities in accordance with the Trust Agreement.
9.04
(a)The Company shall make payments to the Trust Fund in accordance with the Trust Agreement. All monies accruing to the Trust Fund shall be deposited into a separate account to the credit of the Trustee and shall not form part of the revenues or assets of the Company. The Trust Fund shall be administered in accordance with the Supplemental Plan and the assets of the Trust Fund other than the Security Instrument held in the Trust Fund shall be invested in accordance with such directions as the Pension Committee may give. The Pension Committee, on terms and conditions satisfactory to it, may retain the services of an agent or agents or designate employees of the Company to invest or reinvest any of the assets of the Trust Fund other than the Security Instrument held in the Trust Fund and may, but need not, delegate to any such agent, agents or employees any of the power or authority that may be vested in it in relation to the investment or reinvestment of any such assets.

Canadian Pacific Railway Company
Supplemental Retirement Plan
Effective January 1, 2011 Page 11
(ii)where the Supplemental Plan is to be partially funded and partially secured, such amount as is sufficient to enable the Trustee to obtain or renew a Security Instrument with a face amount at least equal to the Liabilities less the market value of the other assets of the Trust Fund as at the Liability Valuation Date,
(iii)where the Supplemental Plan is to be fully secured, such amount as is sufficient to enable the Trustee to obtain or renew a Security Instrument with a face amount at least equal to the Liabilities less the market value of the other assets of the Trust Fund as at the Liability Valuation Date.
Where the Supplemental Plan is to be fully funded, and the Liabilities as at a Liability Valuation Date exceed the market value of the Supplemental Plan’s assets as at such Liability Valuation Date, then the Company shall contribute the amount by which such Liabilities exceed such value of assets within two (2) months following such Liability Valuation Date (with 50% of such excess deposited in the Trust Fund and 50% remitted to the Canada Revenue Agency as refundable tax).

ARTICLE 10 - AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN OR REGISTERED PLANS
10.01The Company expects to continue the Supplemental Plan indefinitely, but nevertheless reserves the right to amend or discontinue the Supplemental Plan, provided that no such action shall adversely affect the aggregate of the benefits which have accrued under the Registered Plans and the Supplemental Plan immediately prior to the time such action is taken, based on:
(a)in the case of benefits payable on a defined contribution basis hereunder, the Member’s Registered Company Account and Supplemental Company Account balances as of the date of such amendment or discontinuance; and
(b)in the case of benefits payable on a defined benefit basis hereunder, the Member’s Pensionable Service, Highest Plan Earnings and Average Year’s Maximum Pensionable Earnings as of the date of such amendment or discontinuance.
10.02Any amendment to the Supplemental Plan shall be made by the adoption of a resolution of the Board unless the Board’s power or authority to amend the Supplemental Plan has been delegated. All such amendments shall be binding upon the Company and upon each Member.
10.03It is hereby acknowledged that the Supplemental Benefit payable pursuant to this Supplemental Plan is contingent on the continuation of the Basic Plan. In the event that one or both of the Registered Plans is discontinued or terminated, and not replaced by a successor pension plan within the meaning of the Pension Benefits Standards Act, 1985 (Canada), the amount of the Supplemental Benefit payable hereunder shall be determined based on the Member’s Supplemental Company Account balance, Pensionable Service, Highest Plan Earnings and Average Year’s Maximum Pensionable Earnings, as applicable, as at the date of such discontinuance or termination, unless otherwise determined by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the discontinuance or termination of one or both of the Registered Plans shall not adversely affect the aggregate
Canadian Pacific Railway Company
Supplemental Retirement Plan
Effective January 1, 2011 Page 13
of the benefits which have accrued to the Member under the Registered Plans and the Supplemental Plan immediately prior to the time such action is taken.
10.04If one or both of the Registered Plans is amended so that references thereto contained in the Supplemental Plan are no longer applicable, the Supplemental Plan shall be deemed to be amended accordingly. No such amendment will be considered to adversely affect any right with respect to benefits which have accrued in aggregate under the Registered Plans and the Supplemental Plan immediately prior to the time such action is taken.
10.05If, after satisfactory provision for all Supplemental Plan Secured Benefits and expenses has been made following the full termination of the Supplemental Plan, surplus assets remain in the Trust Fund (which for greater certainty includes all applicable refundable taxes received or receivable by the Trust Fund) such surplus assets shall revert to the Company.
10.06In the event that the Trust Fund is insufficient to make in full the payments required after all refundable tax payable to the Trust Fund is received by the Trustee, the Trustee shall, after provision for the payment of expenses, reduce the payments to Members, their Spouses or beneficiaries in proportion to the insufficiency, as determined by the Actuary, and provided that, in each case, the Trustee may provide for some benefits or partial benefits prior to the receipt of the refundable tax and the remaining benefits after the refundable tax is received.
10.07Where an Event of Default occurs which results in a draw by the Trustee on the full amount of the Security Instrument and the Company does not make arrangements enabling the Trustee to renew or replace the Security Instrument in accordance with the Trust Agreement, the benefit accruals under the Supplemental Plan shall cease as of the date of the Event of Default.
In such event, solely for purposes of the calculation of benefits payable under the Supplemental Plan,
(a)the Supplemental Plan and the Registered Plans shall be deemed to be terminated as of the date of the Event of Default; and
Canadian Pacific Railway Company
Supplemental Retirement Plan
Effective January 1, 2011 Page 14
(b)all Members shall be deemed to have terminated or retired, as the case may be, as of the date of the Event of Default.
Following the Event of Default, a Member (other than a U.S. Member), Former Member, or Pensioner (or his or her Spouse or Post-Retirement Spouse), as the case may be, may elect to receive a lump sum payment determined in accordance with Appendix A.7 in lieu of the retirement income, determined in accordance with Appendix A, otherwise payable, if any.
10.08Where, following an Event of Default, a Representative Participant has been appointed in accordance with the Trust Agreement, the Representative Participant shall carry out such duties and responsibilities as set out in the Trust Agreement.
10.09Where new amendments to the Supplemental Plan’s benefit provisions that increase the Supplemental Plan’s liabilities are adopted after a Liability Valuation Date, and such amendments are not reflected in the Actuary’s computation of the Liabilities as at such date, such amended benefits will not be secured by either the Security Instrument or any assets of the Trust Fund until three (3) months following the subsequent Liability Valuation Date, unless the Actuary prepares a report reflecting such amendments and the face amount of the Security Instrument is amended to reflect the associated increase in Liabilities or, if the Supplemental Plan is being fully funded, the Company contributes an amount equal to the increase in Liabilities (with 50% of such amount deposited in the Trust Fund and 50% remitted to the Canada Revenue Agency as refundable tax).
ARTICLE 11 - ADMINISTRATION
11.01The Company shall administer this Supplemental Plan and shall adopt such rules as it may deem necessary for its proper administration.

11.10Where the Company is satisfied, on the basis of medical evidence, that a person entitled to receive any pension or lump sum under this Supplemental Plan is physically or mentally incompetent to receive it and there is no guardian, curator, committee or other representative legally responsible for the estate of such person, the Company may make payment in trust for such person to such other person, group of persons or agency as, in the opinion of the Company, is best qualified to receive and administer the payment.
11.11In the event that the Company pays an amount to or in respect of a Member in excess of the amount payable under the Supplemental Plan, the amount of the overpayment shall be repaid by the recipient forthwith upon demand for repayment by the Company.
