This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Corporation designated as its 4.000% Notes due 2028 (herein called the “Securities”), limited (except as otherwise provided in the Indenture referred to below) in aggregate principal amount to US$500,000,000, which may be issued under an indenture dated as of September 11, 2015, among the Corporation and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture, as defined below), as supplemented by the Third Supplemental Indenture, among the Corporation, Canadian Pacific Railway Limited (the “Guarantor”) and the Trustee (as supplemented by the Third Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties, obligations and immunities thereunder of the Corporation, Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is a global Security representing US$500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Securities.

Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Corporation maintained or caused to be maintained for that purpose in New York, New York or at such other office or agency of the Corporation as may be maintained or caused to be maintained for such purpose, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that payment of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest may be made at the option of the Corporation (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the Security Register or (ii) by wire transfer to an account maintained by the Person located in the United States entitled thereto as specified in the Security Register; provided, that principal paid in relation to any Security, redeemed at the option of the Corporation or upon Maturity, shall be paid to the Holder of such Security only upon presentation and surrender of such Security to such office or agency referred to above.

The Corporation will pay to the Holders such Additional Amounts as may be payable under Section 9.07 of the Indenture.

Prior to March 1, 2028 (the date that is three months prior to the maturity date of the Securities), the Corporation may redeem the Securities, in whole or in part, at the option of the Corporation, at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed that would be due if the Securities matured on March 1, 2028 (the date that is three months prior to the maturity date of the Securities) (exclusive of any portion of the payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Yield plus 15 basis points, plus, in the case of (1) and (2), accrued interest thereon to, but excluding, the date of redemption, all as provided in the Indenture.

On or after March 1, 2028 (the date that is three months prior to the maturity date of the Securities) the Corporation may redeem the Securities, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the date of redemption.


Holders of Securities to be redeemed will receive notice of redemption delivered at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption.

“Treasury Yield” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that redemption date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities to be redeemed (assuming, for this purpose, that the Securities matured on the Par Call Date) that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Securities.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations.

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers selected by the Corporation or, if such firm is unwilling or unable to select the Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing in the United States appointed by the Corporation.

“Par Call Date” means March 1, 2028, the date that is three months prior to the maturity date of the Securities.

“Reference Treasury Dealers” means each of (i) Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Barclays Capital Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and/or their affiliates which are primary U.S. government securities dealers in New York City (each, a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), and their respective successors; and (ii) one other which is a primary U.S. Government securities dealer and its respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing ceases to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Corporation will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30p.m. New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.


The Securities are also subject to redemption as a whole but not in part, at the option of the Corporation, at any time, on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at such Holder’s address appearing on the Security Register at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the date fixed for redemption, in the event there is more than an insubstantial risk that the Corporation has become or would become obligated to pay, on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the Securities, any Additional Amounts as a result of any amendment or change in the laws (including any regulations promulgated thereunder) of Canada (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), or any amendment to or change in any official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after May 14, 2018, all as provided in Section 10.08 of the Indenture.

The Securities are also subject to redemption pursuant to Article 3 of the Third Supplemental Indenture.

In the case of any redemption of Securities, interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Date referred to on the face hereof. Securities (or portions thereof) for whose redemption provision is made in accordance with the Indenture shall cease to bear interest from and after the Redemption Date.

The Securities do not have the benefit of sinking fund obligations.

In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Securities may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness of the Corporation on this Security and (b) certain restrictive covenants and the related Defaults and Events of Default, upon compliance by the Corporation with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Security.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Corporation and the rights of the Holders under the Indenture at any time by the Corporation and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of all affected Securities at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities affected thereby, to waive compliance by the Corporation with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by or on behalf of the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.


No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Corporation, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on this Security at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable on the Security Register of the Corporation, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Corporation maintained or caused to be maintained for such purpose in New York, New York duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of US$2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to the time of due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Corporation, the Trustee and any agent of the Corporation or the Trustees may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Corporation, the Trustee nor any agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Interest on this Security shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

For the purposes only of the disclosure required by the Interest Act (Canada), and without affecting the amount of interest payable to any holder of a Security or the calculation of interest on any Security, if the rate of interest on any Security is calculated on the basis of a year which contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest shall be expressed as a yearly rate for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) by multiplying such rate of interest by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year.

As provided for in the Indenture, the Corporation may, from time to time, without notice or consent of the Holders, create and issue additional Securities so that such additional Securities shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Securities initially issued by the Corporation and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Securities originally issued.


If at any time, (i) the Depositary notifies the Corporation that it is unwilling or unable or no longer qualifies to continue as Depositary or if at any time the Depositary shall no longer be registered or in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or regulation and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Corporation within 90 days after the Corporation receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be, or (ii) the Corporation determines that the Securities shall no longer be represented by a global Security or Securities, then in such event the Corporation will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver Securities in definitive registered form, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Security in exchange for this Security. Such Securities in definitive registered form shall be registered in such names and issued in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

The Indenture and this Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
