Scope of Supplemental Plan and
Definitions
1.1 Introduction . This
“Supplemental Plan (409A Non-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, 2005. The rights of any such individual who
retired or otherwise terminated Employment prior to January 1,
2005 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. One such component, known as the
“Supplemental Pension Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) for
Officers and Managers of Union Pacific Corporation, effective
January 1, 1989,” is applicable solely to those benefits
that were both accrued and fully vested as of December 31,
2004 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. With respect to all other
amounts accrued under the Supplemental Plan, the rights of the
Participant shall be governed by the terms of this Supplemental
Plan (409A Non-Grandfathered Component).
1.3 Definitions . As used in
this Supplemental Plan (409A Non-Grandfathered Component), the
following terms have the meanings set forth below, unless a
different meaning is plainly required by the context:
(a) “Additional Disability Pay
Benefit” means the benefit provided for in
Section 2.4(b). The Additional Disability Pay Benefit is
intended to constitute “disability pay” that is exempt
from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, as
described in Section 1.409A-1(a)(5) of the Treasury
Regulations.
(b) “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.
(c) “Change in Control”
means a “Change in Control” as defined in the Union
Pacific Corporation Key Employee Continuity Plan adopted
November 16, 2000, as may be amended from time to
time.
(d) “Company” means
Union Pacific and any Affiliated Company which is included in the
Supplemental Plan by written action of (i) its board of
directors and (ii) either the Board of Directors of Union
Pacific or the Administrator acting on behalf of the Board of
Directors of Union Pacific; provided, however, that if an
Affiliated Company (other than an Affiliated Company that would
remain such if the phrase “100 percent” were
substituted for the phrase “at least 80 percent” in
section 1563(a)(1) of the Code, which is then incorporated by
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.
(e) “Early Supplemental
Pension Retirement Date” means the date of a
Participant’s Separation from Service after he becomes vested
in his Supplemental Plan (409A Non-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 credited under Section 1.3(s)
and/or (ii) additional years of age, not exceeding five (5),
as may be approved by the Chief Executive Officer of Union Pacific
prior to the Participant’s Separation from Service or as may
be credited to the Participant pursuant to Sections 2.7 and 2.8;
provided, however that such date does not qualify as an Early
Retirement Date under the terms of the Pension Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any additional years of age awarded
under this Section 1.3(e) shall affect only a
Participant’s eligibility for an Early Supplemental Pension,
and not the actual commencement date of such benefit.
(f) “Early Supplemental
Pension” means the pension provided for in
Section 2.2.
(g) “Effective Date”
means January 1, 1989, the effective date of this document;
provided, however, that when a provision of this Supplemental Plan
(409A Non-Grandfathered Component) states an effective date other
than January 1, 1989, such stated special effective date shall
apply as to that provision.
(h) “Final Average
Compensation” means Final Average Compensation as determined
under Article II of the Pension Plan as of the date of the
Participant’s Separation from Service.
(i) “Incentive
Compensation” means:
(i) incentive compensation awarded
to a Participant under the Executive Incentive Plan of Union
Pacific Corporation and Subsidiaries, as amended and restated as of
April 15, 1988 and as it may thereafter be amended from time

incentive compensation foregone by a Participant for an award under

Pacific; or
(iv) the amount of retention stock
(or retention units) awarded to a Participant by the Compensation
and Benefits Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors
(or any successor thereto) in lieu of a cash award under the
Executive Incentive Plan, but only to the extent that such
incentive compensation or retention stock (or retention units) is
not taken into account in computing the Participant’s Final
Average Compensation for reasons other than the annual compensation
limit under section 401(a)(17) of the Code or the provisions of
Alternative II-D set forth in Section 3.01(c) of the Pension
Plan. Awards of Incentive Compensation shall be taken into account
at the time such awards would have been paid but for the
Participant’s election, to forego or defer payment under a
plan of the Company or an Affiliated Company; provided, however,
that for purposes of calculating a Participant’s benefit
under this Supplemental Plan (409A Non-Grandfathered Component) no
more than the three highest awards of Incentive Compensation shall
be counted in the Participant’s highest 36 consecutive months
of Compensation determined as of the Participant’s Separation
from Service taking all Incentive Compensation into
account.

Pension” means the pension provided for in
Section 2.1.

under Section 1.3(s) includes years that are not taken into
account as Credited Service under the Pension Plan (including years
not taken into account due to application of the provisions of
Alternative II-D set forth in Section 3.01(c) of the Pension
Plan);
(ii) who has Incentive Compensation
within the 120-calendar-month period immediately preceding the date
on which the Participant ceases to be a Covered
Employee;

Compensation is not fully recognized under the Pension Plan due to
application of the annual compensation limit under section

forth in Section 3.01(c) of the Pension Plan, as determined as
of the date of the Participant’s Separation from
Service;
(iv) whose benefit under the Pension
Plan is reduced as a result of the limitation described in
Section 5.02 of the Pension Plan; or
3
(v) who is credited with additional
years of age as described in Section 1.3(e)(ii), and who has
been designated by the Administrator as eligible to participate in

services performed by the Participant over the immediately
preceding thirty-six (36) month period. There shall be no
Separation from Service during a Participant’s bona fide
leave of absence so long as such leave does not exceed six
(6) months or such longer period as the Participant may retain
a right to reemployment with the Company under applicable statute
or by contract. The term Separation from Service shall be
interpreted in the same manner as a separation from service under
Section 409A of the Code.

ARTICLE TWO
Amount and Payment of
Pension
2.1 Normal Supplemental
Pension . Subject to the provisions of Articles Three, Five and
Eleven, a Participant who has a Separation from Service at his or
her Normal Retirement Age under the Pension Plan shall be entitled
to receive a Normal Supplemental Pension (or a Rehire Supplemental
Pension, as applicable), in the form of a single life annuity
commencing on the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date, equal
to the result of (a) minus (b) minus (c),
where:
(a) is 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
date of the Participant’s Separation from Service, determined
without regard to the limitation described in Section 5.02 of
the Pension Plan, 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, 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;
(b) is 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
date of the Participant’s Separation from Service;
and
(c) is the annual nonforfeitable
Normal Supplemental Pension payable at Normal Retirement Date
actually determined under the Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered
Component).
For purposes of determining benefits
under the Supplemental Plan (409A Non-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.
2.2 Early Supplemental
Pension .
(a) Participant Retires on Early
Retirement Date . Subject to the provisions of Articles Three,
Five and Eleven, a Participant who has a Separation from Service on
an Early Retirement Date under the Pension Plan shall receive an
Early Supplemental Pension, in the form of a single life annuity
commencing on the first day of the month following the later of the
Participant’s Separation from Service or the
Participant’s attainment of age 55. The Early Supplemental
Pension shall be computed in the same manner as the Normal
Supplemental Pension, but with the amounts described in
Section 2.1 adjusted for payment as of the early benefit start
date in accordance with Section 6.03 of the Pension Plan
(whether or not the Participant’s Pension Plan benefit or
Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) benefit starts on
that date), taking into account any additional years of age
described in Section
7
1.3(e)(ii) solely for purposes of adjusting both
the gross and offset portions of the benefit in
Section 2.1(a).
(b) Participant Retires on Early
Supplemental Pension Retirement Date . Subject to the
provisions of Articles Three, Five and Eleven, a Participant who
has a Separation from Service on an Early Supplemental Pension
Retirement Date shall receive an Early Supplemental Pension, in the
form of a single life annuity commencing on the first day of the
month following the later of the Participant’s Separation
from Service or the Participant’s attainment of age 55. The
Early Supplemental Pension shall be computed in the same manner as
described in Section 2.2(a), above, except that, for purposes
of determining the Early Supplemental Pension as described in
Section 2.2(a):
(i) the amount described in Sections
2.1(a) and 2.1(c) shall be adjusted for payment as of the early
benefit start date in accordance with Section 6.03 of the
Pension Plan (whether or not the Participant’s Supplemental
Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) benefit starts on that date),
taking into account any additional years of age described in
Section 1.3(e)(ii) solely for purposes of adjusting both the
gross and offset portions of the benefit in Section 2.1(a);
and
(ii) 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 (whether or not the Participant’s Pension Plan
benefit starts on that date).
2.3 Postponed Supplemental
Pension . Subject to the provisions of Articles Three, Five and
Eleven, a Participant who has a Separation from Service after his
Normal Retirement Age 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).
2.4 Disabled Participants
.
(a) Disability Supplemental
Retirement Benefit . In the event that a Participant becomes a
Disabled Participant under the Pension Plan (and therefore is
deemed to have had a Separation from Service under the Pension
Plan), the Participant shall receive a Normal Supplemental Pension,
Early Supplemental Pension, or Postponed Supplemental Pension, as
determined under Section 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 or 4.2, as applicable,
in the form of a single life annuity commencing on the first day of
the month following the later of the Participant’s Disability
Date under the Pension Plan or the Participant’s attainment
of age 55; provided that such Disabled Participant has had a
Separation from Service under the Supplemental Plan (409A
Non-Grandfathered Component). Such benefit shall be based on the
Participant’s Supplemental Plan (409A Non-Grandfathered
Component) benefit accrued through his or her Disability
Date.
(b) Additional Disability Pay
. To the extent that a Disabled Participant accrues a benefit under
this Supplemental Plan (409A Non-Grandfathered Component) in excess
of the amount described in Section 2.4(a) (due to the
continued crediting of service for Disabled
8
Participants), such additional benefit shall be
paid at the same time and in the same form as the
Participant’s Pension Plan benefit, as described in
Section 6.05 of the Pension Plan. Such Additional Disability
Pay Benefit may include, by way of example, any early retirement
subsidy with respect to the Supplemental Plan benefit described in
Section 2.4(a) that the Disabled Participant accrues after his
or her Disability Date.
2.5 Rehired Employees . The
following provisions shall apply to any Participant who returns to
Employment with the Company after having had a Separation from
Service.
(a) Any Supplemental Pension
determined under the terms of this Supplemental Plan (409A
Non-Grandfathered Component) that is attributable to a prior period
of Employment shall continue to be paid to the Participant without
regard to the Participant’s reemployment (even if the
Participant’s Pension Plan benefit and Supplemental Plan
(409A Grandfathered Component) benefit are suspended during such
reemployment).
(b) A rehired Participant shall be
entitled to a Rehire Supplemental Pension, as determined in the
same manner as a Supplemental Pension under Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3,
2.4(a) or 4.2, as applicable, based on the Participant’s
Final Average Compensation, Incentive Compensation, Total Credited
Service and Total Offset Service during his or her aggregated
periods of Employment, but offset further by the annual
nonforfeitable Supplemental Pension actually determined under the
Supplemental Plan (409A Non-Grandfathered Component) as of the
Participant’s prior Separation from Service.
(c) In the event that the
Participant is entitled to receive more than one Rehire
Supplemental Pension under this Supplemental Plan (409A
Non-Grandfathered Component) (as a result of more than two
Separations from Service), the provisions of Section 2.5(b)
shall be applied as if all prior periods of the Participant’s
Employment were aggregated into a single prior period of
Employment.
(d) In the event that a Disabled
Participant who is entitled to an Additional Disability Pay Benefit
under Section 2.4(b) returns to Employment with the Company,
the Rehire Supplemental Pension determined under
Section 2.5(b) shall not take into account the Additional
Disability Pay Benefit (except for purposes of vesting, eligibility
for an early retirement subsidy, or the calculation of the 40 year
limit in Section 2.1).
2.6 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), relating to a Separation from Service on
a date
