Scope of Supplemental Plan and Definitions

1.1 Introduction . This Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component), amended through January 1, 2009, and as it may hereafter be amended from time to time, establishes the rights to specified benefits for certain officers and managers or highly compensated employees who retire or otherwise terminate their Employment on or after January 1, 1989. The rights of any such individual who retired or otherwise terminated Employment prior to January 1, 1989 shall be subject to the terms of the Supplemental Plan as in effect at the date of retirement or termination, except to the extent otherwise provided herein. This Supplemental Plan is intended to be a non-qualified supplemental retirement plan which is unfunded and maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees of the Company, pursuant to sections 201, 301 and 401 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) and, as such, to be exempt from the provisions of Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA.

1.2 Applicability . The Supplemental Plan was bifurcated into two components, effective January 1, 2009. As reflected in the terms of this document, one such component is applicable solely to those benefits that were, as of December 31, 2004, both accrued and fully vested in accordance with the terms of the Supplemental Plan as in effect on December 31, 2004, which terms were not materially modified after October 3, 2004. The Supplemental Plan benefit governed by the terms of this 409A Grandfathered Component generally is determined by measuring a Participant’s accrued benefit as if he had a Separation from Service on the earlier of the date of his actual Separation from Service or December 31, 2004, and applying the terms of the Supplemental Plan, the Pension Plan and the various applicable Code limits as of that date (except as modified herein). With respect to any other amounts accrued under the Supplemental Plan, the rights of the Participant shall be governed by the component of the Supplemental Plan known as the “Supplemental Pension Plan (409A Non-Grandfathered Component) for Officers and Managers of Union Pacific Corporation and Affiliates, effective January 1, 1989, including all amendments adopted through January 1, 2009.”

1.3 Definitions . As used in this Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component), the following terms have the meanings set forth below, unless a different meaning is plainly required by the context:

(a) “Administrator” means the Senior Vice President-Human Resources of Union Pacific or, if there is no such Senior Vice President - Human Resources, such person or persons appointed by the Board of Directors of Union Pacific or, in the absence of any such appointment, Union Pacific, who shall administer this Supplemental Plan.

2


reference in sections 414(b) and (c) of the Code) is included in the Supplemental Plan by virtue of action by the Administrator, unless the Board of Directors of Union Pacific ratifies such action not later than its first regularly scheduled meeting held subsequent to the taking of such action by the Administrator, such Affiliated Company shall cease to be so included as of the close of business on the last day of the month in which such meeting occurs and no employee of such Affiliated Company shall accrue a benefit under the Supplemental Plan.

(c) “Early Supplemental Pension Retirement Date” means, subject to Sections 2.9(a)(ii)(B) and (b)(ii)(B), Section 2.10(b)(ii) and Section 2.12(b)(ii), the date of a Participant’s termination of Employment after he becomes vested in his Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) benefit under Section 4.2, before his Normal Retirement Date, and after either attaining age 55 and completing 10 years of Vesting Service or attaining age 65, determined after taking into account (i) additional service that was credited on or before October 3, 2004 under Section 1.3(p) and/or (ii) additional years of age, not exceeding five (5), as was approved on or before October 3, 2004 by the Chief Executive Officer of Union Pacific prior to the Participant’s termination of Employment or as was credited to the Participant pursuant to Section 2.7, 2.9, 2.10, 2.11 or 2.12; provided, however that such date does not qualify on or before December 31, 2004 as an Early Retirement Date under the terms of the Pension Plan.

ARTICLE TWO

Amount and Payment of Pension

2.1 Normal Supplemental Pension . Subject to the provisions of Articles Three, Five and Eleven, a Participant retiring on a Normal Retirement Date under the Pension Plan (including a Participant who has become a Disabled Participant under the Pension Plan and who ceases to be such on the Normal Retirement Date) shall be entitled to receive a Normal Supplemental Pension, in the form of a single life annuity commencing on the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date, equal to the excess, if any, of:

(a) the annual Accrued Benefit payable at Normal Retirement Date computed on the basis of the formula provided in Section 5.01 of the Pension Plan as of the earlier of the Participant’s actual Separation from Service or December 31, 2004 (assuming the Participant had a Separation from Service on that date), determined without regard to the limitation described in Section 5.02 of the Pension Plan (determined no later than December 31, 2004), and including under such formula any amounts of Final Average Compensation that were excluded from consideration for the Participant under the Pension Plan and all Incentive Compensation payable to the Participant within the 120-calendar-month period immediately preceding the date on which the Participant ceases to be a Covered Employee (or, if earlier, December 31, 2004), and utilizing Total Credited Service up to 40 years in place of Credited Service under Article IV of the Pension Plan and Total Offset Service up to 40 years in place of “offset service” under Article V of the Pension Plan, over

(b) the annual nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit payable at Normal Retirement Date actually determined to be due under the terms of the Pension Plan, as of the earlier of the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service or December 31, 2004.

For purposes of determining benefits under the Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component), any actuarial adjustments for a delay in the commencement of payment beyond the Normal Retirement Date or otherwise that apply under the Pension Plan in calculating the benefit described in (b), above, shall also apply to calculate the benefit described in (a), above. Such actuarial adjustments shall be applied in a manner that does not cause benefits due under this 409A Grandfathered Component after December 31, 2004 to become subject to section 409A of the Code.

2.2 Early Supplemental Pension.

(a) Participant Retires on Early Retirement Date . The following provisions apply to a Participant retiring on an Early Retirement Date under the Pension Plan on or before December 31, 2004, or who retires on an Early Retirement Date under the Pension Plan after December 31, 2004 and who was eligible to retire on an Early Retirement Date as of December 31, 2004 if he had Separated from Service on such date:

(ii) Benefit Payable on Early Retirement Date . In lieu of the benefit described in (i), above, subject to the provisions of Articles Three, Five and Eleven, such Participant may receive an Early Supplemental Pension, in the form of a single life annuity commencing at the date prior to his Normal Retirement Date on which he elects to start his pension under the Pension Plan. The Early Supplemental Pension shall be computed in the same manner as the Normal Supplemental Pension, but with the amounts described in Sections 2.1(a) and (b) adjusted for payment as of the early benefit start date in accordance with Section 6.03 of the Pension Plan, taking into account any additional years of age described in Section 1.3(c)(ii) for purposes of adjusting both the gross and offset portions of the benefit in Section 2.1(a) (except as provided otherwise in Section 2.11 or 2.12).

(b) Participant Retires on Early Supplemental Pension Retirement Date . The following provisions apply to a Participant retiring on an Early Supplemental Pension Retirement Date on or before December 31, 2004, or who retires on an Early Supplemental Pension Retirement Date after December 31, 2004 and who was eligible to retire on an Early Supplemental Retirement Date as of December 31, 2004 if he had Separated from Service on such date:

(i) Participant Is Eligible to Start Pension Plan Benefit . Subject to the provisions of Articles Three, Five and Eleven, a Participant retiring on such an Early Supplemental Pension Retirement Date who is (or would have been) eligible to start a benefit under the Pension Plan upon the earlier of his retirement or December 31, 2004 may receive a Normal or Early Supplemental Pension as described in subsection (a); provided, however, that, for purposes of determining the Early Supplemental Pension as described in (a)(ii), above:

(A) the amount described in Section 2.1(a) shall be adjusted for payment as of the early benefit start date in accordance with Section 6.03 of the Pension Plan, taking into account any additional years of age described in Section 1.3(c)(ii) for purposes of adjusting both the gross and offset portions of the benefit in Section 2.1(a) (except as provided otherwise in Section 2.11 or 2.12); and

(B) the amount described in Section 2.1(b) shall be adjusted for payment as of the early benefit start date in accordance with Section 6.04 of the Pension Plan.

(ii) Participant Is Not Eligible to Start Pension Plan Benefit . Subject to the provisions of Article Three, Five and Eleven, a Participant retiring on an Early Supplemental Pension Retirement Date who either is not (or would not have been) vested in or eligible to start a benefit under the Pension Plan upon the earlier of his retirement or December 31, 2004 shall receive an Early Supplemental Pension, in the form of a single life annuity commencing on the first day of the month following his Early Supplemental Pension Retirement Date, the amount of which shall be determined as follows:

 

9


(A) Prior to the earliest date, if any, that the Participant is eligible to start benefits under the Pension Plan, the Early Supplemental Pension payable under this provision shall be computed in the same manner as the Normal Supplemental Pension, except that:

(I) the amount described in Section 2.1(a) shall be adjusted for payment as of the early benefit start date as described in Section 6.03 of the Pension Plan for Pension Plan payments starting on an Early Retirement Date, taking into account any additional years of age described in Section 1.3(c)(ii) for purposes of adjusting both the gross and offset portions of the benefit in Section 2.1(a) (except as provided otherwise in Section 2.11 or 2.12); and

(II) the amount described in Section 2.1(b) shall be zero for purposes of determining the Early Supplemental Pension payable prior to the earliest date, if any, on which the Participant is eligible to start benefits under the Pension Plan.

(B) On and after the earliest date, if any, that the Participant is eligible to start benefits under the Pension Plan, the Early Supplemental Pension shall equal the excess of:

(I) the amount described in Section 2.2(b)(ii)(A)(I), above, calculated as of the early benefit start date on which payments under the Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) began, over

(II) the amount described in Section 2.1(b) reduced for early payment in accordance with Section 6.04 of the Pension Plan as of such “earliest date” whether or not the Participant’s Pension Plan benefit starts on that date.

Effective for benefits starting before July 25, 2002, payments under this subparagraph (b)(ii) were made as described above unless the Administrator advised the Participant to the contrary.

2.3 Postponed Supplemental Pension . Subject to the provisions of Articles Three, Five and Eleven, a Participant who retires on a Postponed Retirement Date shall be entitled to a Postponed Supplemental Pension, in the form of a single life annuity commencing at the Postponed Retirement Date, which is equal to the Normal Supplemental Pension, computed in accordance with Section 2.1 based on his Total Credited Service, Total Offset Service, etc. as of the Participant’s Postponed Retirement Date (instead of his Normal Retirement Date), or, if earlier, as of his Required Beginning Date. If a Participant’s benefits begin on his Required Beginning Date and prior to his termination of Employment, the Participant’s benefits shall be adjusted thereafter as described in Section 8.06 of the Pension Plan.

2.4 Surviving Spouse’s Pension (Post-Retirement Automatic Survivor Annuity) .

(a) The Surviving Spouse of a Participant who dies while receiving a Normal or Postponed Supplemental Pension or an Early Supplemental Pension determined under Section 2.2(a) on a date that qualifies as an Early Retirement Date shall be entitled to a Surviving Spouse’s Pension equal to one-half of the single life annuity amount of the Normal, Early, or Postponed Supplemental Pension payable to such deceased Participant under the Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component). Such Surviving Spouse’s Pension shall be payable to

 

10


such Spouse in equal monthly payments for life, commencing on the first day of the month immediately following the death of such Participant.

(b) The Surviving Spouse of a Participant who dies while receiving an Early Supplemental Pension determined under Section 2.2(b), on an Early Supplemental Pension Retirement Date ( i.e. , a date that does not qualify as an Early Retirement Date), shall be entitled to a Surviving Spouse’s Pension. The Surviving Spouse’s Pension shall be payable in equal monthly payments for the Surviving Spouse’s life, commencing on the first day of the month immediately following the Participant’s death, which shall equal one-half of the single life annuity amount calculated for the Participant under Section 2.2(b)(i)(A) or 2.2(b)(ii)(A)(I), as appropriate, as of the Participant’s early benefit start date; provided, however, that monthly payments to the Surviving Spouse shall be reduced by any pre-retirement survivor benefit that the Surviving Spouse is entitled to receive from the Pension Plan attributable to the Participant’s accrued benefit under the Pension Plan as of the earlier of the Participant’s Separation from Service or December 31, 2004 from the earliest date following the Participant’s death that such survivor benefit is payable from the Pension Plan, even if benefits to the Surviving Spouse have not started on that earliest date. Effective for benefits starting before July 25, 2002, payments under this subsection (b) were made as described above unless the Administrator advised the Participant and/or Surviving Spouse to the contrary.

(c) The Surviving Spouse’s Pension described in this Section 2.4 is payable in addition to any other death benefit that may be payable to the Surviving Spouse or other beneficiary of the Participant under the form of payment in which the Participant’s Supplemental Pension is paid pursuant to Article Three. However, except with respect to Participants who qualify for the enhancements described in Sections 2.7, 2.9, 2.10, 2.11 or 2.12, in no event shall the Surviving Spouse who is entitled to the Surviving Spouse’s Pension, if also designated as the Participant’s beneficiary under a joint and survivor annuity payable under the Supplemental Plan, receive a total benefit from the Supplemental Plan that is more than 100% of the retirement income otherwise payable to the Participant under the Supplemental Plan.

2.5 Suspension of Benefits.

(a) Date of Benefit Suspension . Notwithstanding any provisions of Article Two or Article Four to the contrary, the payment of the pension to which a Participant is otherwise entitled under the Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) shall be suspended during any period for which payment of a pension to which such Participant may otherwise be entitled under the Pension Plan is (or would be) suspended under the terms of the Pension Plan due to such Participant’s return to Employment. The pension payable to the Participant under the Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) which has been suspended shall resume on the same date as payments to the Participant under the Pension Plan resume (or would resume if the Participant had been entitled to such a pension, or the terms of the Pension Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004 applied to the payments to the Participant under the Pension Plan).

(b) Resumption of Payments . Upon the resumption of payment of such pension hereunder to such Participant, the resumed benefits shall be recalculated taking into account any increases in the Participant’s Total Credited Service, Total Offset Service, Incentive Compensation, age and so forth. However, no actuarial or other adjustment shall be made to

 

11


reflect such suspension. The resumed benefit shall be offset, in a manner prescribed by the Administrator, by (i) any benefit paid during a month in which benefits should have been suspended but were not, which has not previously been repaid to the Company by the Participant, and (ii) the Actuarial Equivalent of any benefits paid prior to Normal Retirement Date.

(c) Form of Resumed Payments . The resumed payments (including any additional benefits earned during the period of suspension on or before December 31, 2004) under the Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) shall be paid to the Participant in the same form of payment as the Participant elects for his resumed payments under the Pension Plan. If the Participant is not entitled to any benefits under the Pension Plan, the resumed payments under the Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) shall resume in the same form of payment in effect for the Participant before payments were suspended.

2.6 Benefits for Special 1990-1992 Window Participants . Each Special 1990-1992 Window Participant (or the Surviving Spouse or other beneficiary of a Special 1990-1992 Window Participant) shall receive from the Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) in each month the individual receives a payment from the Pension Plan prior to November 1, 1994, an amount equal to the excess of:

(a) the amount that would have been payable to the individual from the Pension Plan for that month, had the provisions of Section 6.12 (prior to 1999, Section 6.11) of the Pension Plan not applied; over

(b) the amount actually paid to the individual from the Pension Plan for that month.

2.7 Window Benefits for Highly Compensated Employees . Each Participant who was a Covered Employee under the Pension Plan, who retired under an early retirement window program described in Section 6.06, 6.07 or 6.09 of the Pension Plan but on the relevant date was excluded from participation in the Pension Plan pursuant to Section 3.01(c) of the Pension Plan or was excluded from participation in the window program due to his status as an officer, shall be deemed for all purposes under the Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) to have the additional years of service and the additional years of age that would have been credited to the Participant under the Pension Plan pursuant to such program if Section 3.01(c) of the Pension Plan had not applied to the Participant; provided, however, that service credited pursuant to this Section shall not cause the Participant’s Total Credited Service or Total Offset Service to exceed 40 years, and no Participant’s deemed age shall exceed 65 years.

2.8 1991 Cost-of-Living Increase . Effective December 1, 1991, the monthly benefit payment to any person who is (a) a former employee of the Company then receiving retirement benefits under this Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) (regardless of the employee’s termination date), or (b) a beneficiary or surviving spouse then receiving death benefits under this Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) shall be increased by the percentage shown in the following table.
