補充計劃的範圍和定義

1.1    介紹根據2009年1月1日修改的這份附加計劃（409A祖父基組成部分），自那以後被修改，現在又於2024年8月1日生效被修改，並能隨時進行修改，爲某些於1989年1月1日或之後退休或以其他方式終止僱傭的高級職員、經理或高薪僱員提供特定福利的權益。任何於1989年1月1日之前退休或以其他方式終止僱傭的個人的權益，應受制於退休或終止時附加計劃的條款，除非本文另有規定。這份附加計劃旨在成爲一個非合格的補充養老計劃，爲公司一部分管理層或高薪僱員提供延期薪酬的主要手段，根據1974年修訂的《僱員退休收入保障法案》（「ERISA」）的第201、301和401條款，因此，被豁免免除ERISA第I標題b部分的第2、3和4部分的規定。

1.2    適用性附加計劃於2009年1月1日分爲兩個元件。根據本文件的條款，其中一個元件僅適用於截至2004年12月31日根據2004年12月31日生效的附加計劃條款已累積並完全歸屬的那些福利；該條款在2004年10月3日之後未經實質性修改。根據此409A祖父元件的條款管理的附加計劃福利通常是通過測量參與者的累積福利，就好像他在實際離職日期或2004年12月31日中更早的日期上已經離職，並根據當時的附加計劃條款、養老金計劃以及那一天的各個適用的稅收法規限制來確定該福利（除非另有規定）。對於附加計劃下的其他任何累積金額，參與者的權利將受到「聯合太平洋公司及其關聯公司高管和經理的附加養老金計劃（409A非祖父元件）」元件的管轄，該元件自1989年1月1日生效，包括截至2009年1月1日通過的所有修正案，並且可能會在今後進行修訂。

1.3    定義在本補充計劃（409A Grandfathered Component）中使用的以下術語具有以下含義，除非上下文明顯需要另外解釋：

「管理員」應具有《聯合太平洋股份有限公司及其關聯公司薪酬員工養老金計劃》中「指定受託人-計劃管理」的定義。

(b)「公司」指聯合太平洋及任何所屬公司，如果其董事會和聯合太平洋的董事會或代表聯合太平洋董事會行事的管理員以書面形式採取措施將其納入補充計劃；但如果某個所屬公司（除非該所屬公司繼續爲所屬公司，如果將「至少80%」替換爲「100%」在《法典》第1563(a)(1)條中，該條款隨後被引入《法典》第414(b)和(c)條）由於管理員的行動而被納入補充計劃，除非聯合太平洋董事會在管理員採取此類行動後不遲於其第一個常規會議上予以批准，否則，該所屬公司將在此類會議發生之月的營業結束時停止納入，並且該所屬公司的任何員工將不再在補充計劃下獲得福利。

(c)「早期補充養老金領取日期」是指，根據2.9(a)(ii)(B)和(b)(ii)(B)節、2.10(b)(ii)節和2.12(b)(ii)節，在與409A過渡規定細節）的分離計劃（養老金儲備帳戶）根據4.2節獲取權益後的參與者終止就業之日，早於其正常養老日期，且在年滿55歲且完成10年歸屬服務或年滿65歲後，在考慮（i）2004年10月3日前根據1.3(p)節獲得的額外服務和/或（ii）額外年齡，最多不超過五（5）年的情況下確定，該年齡是由聯合太平洋的首席執行官於參與者終止就業之前在2004年10月3日前批准的或者根據2.7、2.9、2.10、2.11或2.12節將其計入參與者名下的；但需特別說明的是，此日期不符合於2004年12月31日前作爲養老早期退休日期的養老金計劃條款規定。

(d)「早期補充養老金」指第2.2條規定的養老金。

(e)「生效日期」指的是1989年1月1日，本文件的生效日期；但是，如果本附屬計劃（409A祖傳組件）的某項規定規定了除1989年1月1日之外的生效日期，則該規定的特別生效日期適用於該規定。

(f)「最終平均薪酬」是根據養老金計劃第二條在參與者實際離職日期或2004年12月31日之間確定的最終平均薪酬，假設參與者在該日期離職。

「激勵薪酬」指的是：

(i)截至2004年12月31日或之前，根據聯合太平洋公司及其子公司《行政激勵計劃》（於1988年4月15日經修改與重申，及以後不時進行修改的版本，以及任何繼任計劃）授予給參與者的激勵報酬（並且該參與者已獲得歸屬）。

Awards of Incentive Compensation shall be taken into account at the time such awards would have been paid but for the Participant’s election, on or before October 3, 2004, 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 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 earlier of the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service or December 31, 2004, and taking all Incentive Compensation into account.

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:

(i)    Benefit Payable on Normal Retirement Date. Subject to the provisions of Articles Three, Five and Eleven, a Participant retiring on such an Early Retirement Date under the Pension Plan shall be entitled to receive a Normal Supplemental Pension in the form of a single life annuity commencing at Normal Retirement Date, computed in accordance with Section 2.1 based on Total Credited Service, Total Offset Service, etc. A Participant retiring on an Early Retirement Date shall include a Participant who has become a Disabled Participant under the Pension Plan and who ceases to be a Disabled Participant on an Early Retirement 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:

(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 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 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.

However, such increase shall only be applied to the portion, if any, of the amount being received due to participation in this Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) that does not exceed the difference between $108,963 per year and the amount being received by such person under the Pension Plan as increased by resolutions of the Board of Directors of Union Pacific unanimously adopted on June 27, 1974 and May 31, 1979 (before adjustment to reflect the increases effective December 1, 1991).

Except as provided in Section 3.3, if a Participant retires on an Early Supplemental Pension Retirement Date, and at retirement either is not vested in or is not eligible to start a pension under the Pension Plan, payment of his Supplemental Pension shall begin on the first day of the month next following the Participant’s Early Supplemental Pension Retirement Date. The Participant’s Supplemental Pension will be paid in the form of a single life annuity. The Participant is not eligible to elect payment of his Supplemental Pension in any other form.

4.1    Termination Prior to Vesting.

(a)    A Participant who is not eligible to retire on an Early or Normal Retirement Date on or before December 31, 2004 shall not be entitled to any benefit under this Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component), unless:

(i)    the Participant’s Employment terminates before April 27, 1989, and after the completion of 10 years of Vesting Service (including within such Vesting Service not less than 5 years of actual Vesting Service under the Pension Plan); or

(ii)    except as provided in Section 2.11(b)(ii) or Article Five, a Participant completes 5 years of actual Vesting Service under the Pension Plan (treating as actual service for this purpose, service described in Section 1.3(p)(ii)) as of the earlier of the date the Participant’s Employment terminates or December 31, 2004; provided, however, that the Chief Executive Officer of Union Pacific may reduce the required years of actual Vesting Service to 3 if the Chief Executive Officer of Union Pacific determines that such change would not be disadvantageous to the Company in the case of any Participant. The Chief Executive Officer of Union Pacific shall make such determination by the earlier of the date the Participant terminates Employment or October 3, 2004.

4.2    Termination After Vesting. Except as provided in Section 2.11(b)(ii) or 4.4 or Articles Five and Eleven, a Participant not eligible to retire on an Early or Normal Retirement Date on or before December 31, 2004 who is entitled to a benefit under this Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) under Section 4.1 shall be entitled to receive, commencing on the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date, the Normal Supplemental Pension computed under Section 2.1 as of the date the Participant terminated Employment or ceased to be a Disabled Participant. In lieu thereof, such Participant shall receive a Supplemental Pension commencing on the earliest of:

(i)    any date prior to the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date on which the Participant starts his benefit payments from the Pension Plan;

(ii)    in the case of a Participant who is credited with additional years of age described in Section 1.3(c)(ii) and, as a result, would be deemed to reach age 55 and become eligible to start his Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) benefits earlier than his Pension Plan benefits, the first day of the month following the later of (A) the Participant’s termination of Employment, or (B) the Participant’s 55th birthday (determined taking into account additional years of age described in Section 1.3(c)(ii)); or

(iii)    in the case of a Participant who is not vested under the Pension Plan, the first day of the month following the later of (A) the Participant’s termination of Employment, or (B) the Participant’s 55th birthday (determined taking into account additional years of age described in Section 1.3(c)(ii)), or the first day of any month thereafter that is prior to the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date on which the Participant elects to start payment of his Supplemental Pension.

The election described in (iii) must be made in writing, in a form prescribed by the Administrator, at least six (6) months before, and in the tax year of the Participant immediately preceding, the elected benefit start date. Any Supplemental Pension paid to the Participant commencing prior to Normal Retirement Date shall equal (I) the amount described in Section 2.1(a) adjusted for early payment as of the early benefit start date in accordance with Section 6.04 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 except as provided otherwise in Section 2.11), reduced by (II) the amount described in Section 2.1(b), if any, adjusted for payment as of the early benefit start date in accordance with Section 6.04 of the Pension Plan. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Participant’s Supplemental Pension begins prior to his Pension Plan benefit, the reduction described in (II) shall be calculated and apply beginning on the earliest date benefits are payable to the Participant under the Pension Plan, even if the Participant’s Pension Plan benefits do not actually start on that earliest date.

4.3    Form of Vested Benefit.

(a)    Benefits Payable Under Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) and Pension Plan. Except as provided in Section 4.4, if a Participant is entitled to benefits under both the Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) and the Pension Plan and benefits under both Plans start on the same date, the Supplemental Pension determined under Section 4.2 shall be paid in the same form, and shall be subject to the same adjustment for form of payment and the same Beneficiary designation, as apply to the Participant’s Pension Plan benefit. The Participant’s Supplemental Pension determined under Section 4.2 shall be adjusted for form of payment, as appropriate, pursuant to Article VIII of the Pension Plan. If, however, such Participant’s Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) benefit starts before his Pension Plan benefit, the Participant’s Supplemental Pension will be paid in the form of a single life annuity.

(b)    No Benefits Payable Under Pension Plan. Except as provided in Section 4.4, in the event a Participant is entitled to a benefit from the Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) but is not vested in a benefit under the Pension Plan, the Participant shall receive payment of his Supplemental Pension determined under Section 4.2 in the automatic form of payment described in Section 8.02 of the Pension Plan that would have applied to the Participant had he been eligible for and started payment under the Pension Plan on the same day. The Participant’s Supplemental Pension determined under Section 4.2 shall be adjusted for form of payment, as appropriate, pursuant to Article VIII of the Pension Plan.

4.4    Payments Starting Before July 25, 2002. The rules set forth in Sections 4.2 and 4.3, above, applied to Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) benefits starting before July 25, 2002, unless the Administrator advised the Participant to the contrary.

(A)    In the case of a Participant who is entitled to both a pension under the Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) and a pension under the Pension Plan, monthly payments to the Surviving Spouse shall equal one-half of the monthly Supplemental Pension in the form of a single life annuity calculated for the Participant as described in Section 2.2(b)(i)(A) as if the Participant had survived (but accrued no additional benefits after death) and started his Supplemental Pension on the date Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) benefits begin to the Surviving Spouse under Section 6.3, reduced by any 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 date of the Participant’s Separation from Service or December 31, 2004) from the earliest date on or following the date payments begin to the Surviving Spouse that such survivor benefit is payable from the Pension Plan (whether or not such survivor benefit begins on the earliest date under the Pension Plan).

(B)    In the case of a Participant who is entitled to a pension under the Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) but is not vested in a pension under the Pension Plan, monthly payments to the Surviving Spouse shall equal one-half of the monthly Supplemental Pension in the form of a single life annuity calculated for the Participant as described in Section 2.2(b)(ii)(A)(I) as if the Participant had survived (but accrued no additional benefits after death) and started his Supplemental Pension on the date Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) benefits begin to the Surviving Spouse under Section 6.3.

(b)    Non-Subsidized Death Benefits. Except as provided in Section 6.4, the benefit payable to the Surviving Spouse of a Participant described in Section 6.1 who dies under circumstances other than those described in Section 6.2(a) shall be an annuity payable for the Surviving Spouse’s life with monthly payments equal to:

(i)    Prior to the earliest date, if any, on which the Surviving Spouse is eligible to start any survivor benefit payable under the Pension Plan, 50% of the monthly Supplemental Pension the Participant would have received in the form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity determined as if the Participant is not entitled to a pension under the Pension Plan if the Participant had survived (and accrued no additional benefits after his death) and started his Supplemental Pension on the date Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) benefits begin to the Surviving Spouse under Section 6.3; and

(ii)    On or after the earliest date, if any, on which the Surviving Spouse is eligible to start any survivor benefit payable under the Pension Plan, the amount described in (i), above, reduced by any 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 beginning on such earliest date (whether or not such survivor benefit begins on the earliest date under the Pension Plan).

6.3    Timing of Surviving Spouse’s Benefit. Except as provided in Section 6.4, the benefit to which a Surviving Spouse of a Participant shall be entitled pursuant to Section 6.2(a) or (b) shall be paid monthly to such Surviving Spouse, commencing as of the date such Surviving Spouse elects, or is required to, start payment of any benefit to which the Surviving Spouse is entitled under the Pension Plan. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence:

(a)     if the Surviving Spouse is not entitled to any payment from the Pension Plan, the Surviving Spouse shall receive payment of any Supplemental Pension to which the Surviving Spouse is entitled under Section 6.2 beginning as of the later of (i) the first of the month following the Participant’s 55th birthday (determined taking into account any additional years of age described in Section 1.3(c)(ii)), or (ii) the first of the month following the date of the Participant’s death.

(b)    if the deceased Participant would have been entitled or required to start his Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) benefit on an earlier date than the Participant would have been entitled to start his Pension Plan benefit had he survived, the Surviving Spouse shall receive payment of any Supplemental Pension to which the Surviving Spouse is entitled under Section 6.2 beginning as of the later of (i) the earliest date as of which the Participant would have been eligible or required to start payments pursuant to Article Two, Three or Four, as appropriate, or (ii) the first of the month following the date of the Participant’s death.

Payments to the Surviving Spouse shall end with the payment made for the month in which the Surviving Spouse dies.

6.4    Payments Starting Before July 25, 2002. The rules for pre-retirement death benefits set forth in Sections 6.2 and 6.3, above, applied to Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) pre-retirement death benefits starting before July 25, 2002, unless the Administrator advised the Participant and/or Surviving Spouse to the contrary.

ARTICLE SEVEN

Funding

7.1    Funding. The Company’s obligations hereunder shall constitute a general, unsecured obligation of the Company payable solely out of its general assets, and no Participant or former Participant shall have any right to any specific assets of the Company. To the extent that any Participant or former Participant acquires a right to receive payments under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. The Board of Directors of Union Pacific may, but shall not be required to, authorize Union Pacific to establish a trust to hold assets to be used to discharge the Company’s obligations hereunder, provided that such trust shall not confer upon Participants or former Participants any rights other than the rights of unsecured general creditors of the Company.

7.2    Payment to James Otto. On or about December 1, 2000, James Otto was paid in a single sum the actuarial equivalent value of the portion of his Supplemental Pension, payable in the form of a 50% joint and survivor annuity with his spouse as beneficiary, that was not funded through annuity purchases. Such single sum payment of $501.40 was in full settlement of the Supplemental Plan’s obligation to pay such remaining benefit to James Otto or his Surviving Spouse or other beneficiary.

ARTICLE EIGHT

As the Administrator deems necessary or proper or as the Board of Directors of Union Pacific may require, but in any event at least once during each calendar year, the Administrator shall report to such Board on the operation and administration of the Supplemental Plan and on any other matter concerning the Supplemental Plan deemed advisable or required by such Board.

8.4    Designation and Delegation. The Administrator may designate other persons to carry out such of the responsibilities hereunder for the operating and administration of the Supplemental Plan as the Administrator deems advisable and delegate to the persons so designated such of the powers as the Administrator deems necessary to carry out such responsibilities.

The Administrator and persons so designated shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in any action or determination or omission taken or made or omitted in good faith in so relying, upon any opinions, reports or other advice which is furnished by counsel or other specialist engaged for that purpose.

8.6    Expenses. All expenses, including any fees for outside services under Section 8.5, incurred by the Administrator and by persons designated by the Administrator under Section 8.4 in the operation and administration of the Supplemental Plan shall be paid by the Company. Neither the Administrator nor any other person who is an employee of the Company or an Affiliated Company shall receive any compensation solely for services in carrying out any responsibility hereunder.

8.7    Bonding. No bond or other security shall be required of the Administrator or of any person designated under Section 8.4.

Any such action shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons interested in the Supplemental Plan.

ARTICLE NINE

Amendment or Termination

9.1    Amendment or Termination. The Board of Directors of Union Pacific, acting by written resolution, reserves the right to modify, alter, amend or terminate the Supplemental Plan from time to time and to modify, withdraw or terminate the Supplemental Plan, to any extent that it may deem advisable; provided, that no such modification, alteration, amendment or termination shall impair any rights which have accrued to Participants hereunder to the date of such modification, alteration, amendment or termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the chief human resources officer of Union Pacific Railroad Company or such other officer or employee of Union Pacific Railroad Company or Union Pacific with similar authority, may make all technical, administrative, regulatory and compliance amendments to the Supplemental Plan, and any other amendment that will not significantly increase the cost of the Supplemental Plan to the Company, as he or she shall deem necessary or appropriate. This Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) is intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A, based on the grandfathering provisions set forth in section 1.409A‑6 of the Treasury Regulations. Such grandfathered status is predicated, in part, on the basis that the terms and conditions of this Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathering Component) have not been materially modified on or after October 3, 2004.

ARTICLE TEN

General Provisions

10.1    Certain Rights Reserved. Nothing herein contained shall confer upon any Employee or other person the right (a) to continue in Employment or service of the Company or affect any right that the Company may have to terminate the Employment or service of (or to demote or to exclude from future participation in the Supplemental Plan) any such Employee or other person at any time for any reason, (b) to participate in the Supplemental Plan, or (c) to receive an annual base salary of any particular amount.

10.2    Alienability of Benefits.

(a)    This section 10.2(a) is effective with respect to a domestic relations order directed to the Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) which is determined to be an Approved DRO (as defined below) on or after November 5, 2015.

(1)     Payments under the Supplemental Plan may not be assigned, transferred, pledged or hypothecated, and to the extent permitted by law, no such payments shall be subject to legal process or attachment for the payment of any claims against any person entitled to receive the same. Compliance with the provisions and conditions of any domestic relations order assigning a portion of a Participant’s benefit to an alternate payee (as defined in Section 414(p)(8) of the Code) (“Alternate Payee”) relating to an individual’s Supplemental Plan benefits, which the Administrator (i) has determined is a lawful order of a domestic relations court and (ii) has approved as consistent with the terms of the Supplemental Plan (an “Approved DRO”), shall not be considered a violation of this provision.

(2)    An Approved DRO must identify the Alternate Payee and this Supplemental Pension Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) as the plan to which the DRO applies, describe the amount payable to the Alternate Payee (or the formula by which such amount may be determined), must not require the Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) to provide increased benefits (determined on the basis of actuarial value) nor require the payment of benefits to an Alternate Payee which are required to be paid to another Alternate Payee in accordance with another previously Approved DRO, and must conform to the following additional requirements:

(A)    an Approved DRO must, with respect to the timing and form of benefit payment(s), (1) if no DRO is directed with respect to the Participant's benefit under the Pension Plan, provide for a designated or ascertainable percentage or dollar amount of the Participant's periodic benefit to be paid as, when and if payable to the Participant from the Supplemental Pension Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) (a "stream of payments formula"), and (2) if a DRO is directed with respect to both the Participant's benefit under the Pension Plan and the Participant’s benefit under this Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component), provide for a stream of payments formula, or, if such a DRO assigns to the Alternate Payee a separate interest with respect to a portion of the Participant's Pension Plan benefit and a separate interest with respect to a portion of the Participant’s benefit under this Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component), provide for payment beginning at the same time, and in the same form, as the Alternate Payee's separate interest under the Pension Plan is payable;

(B)    under no circumstances may any benefit under an Approved DRO be payable before such time as the Administrator is able to determine the amount payable to the Alternate payee and the time and form of payment; and

(C)    an Approved DRO that provides for a stream of payments formula may designate and identify a contingent Alternate Payee to receive any remaining payments due under the terms of an Approved DRO following the death of the initial Alternate Payee, but only if such contingent Alternate Payee is the spouse, former spouse, child or other dependent of the Participant.

(b)    Prior to November 5, 2015, this Section 10.2 read as follows: Payments under the Supplemental Plan may not be assigned, transferred, pledged or hypothecated, and to the extent permitted by law, no such payments shall be subject to legal process or attachment for the payment of any claims against any person entitled to receive the same. Effective on and after July 25, 2002, compliance with the provisions and conditions of any domestic relations order relating to an individual’s Supplemental Plan benefits, which the Administrator has determined must be complied with under the terms of applicable law, shall not be considered a violation of this provision.

10.3    Payment Due an Incompetent. If it shall be found that any person to whom a payment is due hereunder is unable to care for that person’s affairs because of physical or mental disability, as determined by a licensed physician, the Administrator shall have the authority to cause the payments becoming due such person to be made to the legally appointed guardian of any such person or to the spouse, brother, sister, or other person as it shall determine. Payments made pursuant to such power shall operate as a complete discharge of the Company’s obligations.

10.4    Governing Law. The Supplemental Plan shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Nebraska (without regard to the legislative or judicial conflict of laws rules of any state), except to the extent superseded by any federal law.

10.5    Successors. This Supplemental Plan shall be binding upon any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidated or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be bound to perform if no such succession had taken place.

10.6    Titles and Headings Not To Control. The titles and Articles of the Supplemental Plan and the headings of Sections and subsections of the Supplemental Plan are placed herein for convenience of reference only and, as such, shall have no force and effect in the interpretation of the Supplemental Plan.

10.7    Severability. If any provisions of the Supplemental Plan shall be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, the unlawfulness, invalidity, or unenforceability shall not affect any provision of the Plan or part thereof, each of which shall remain in full force and effect.

10.8    Determination and Withholding of Taxes. The Administrator shall have full authority to satisfy the responsibility of Union Pacific or any Affiliated Company to withhold taxes with respect to a Participant or former Participant, including FICA taxes, by withholding such taxes from any distributions under the Plan to the Participant or former Participant or his beneficiary or estate. The Administrator shall also have full authority, with or without the consent of the Participant of former Participant, to withhold from the individual’s compensation from any and all sources, any FICA or other taxes applicable to benefits accrued under the Supplemental Plan.

ARTICLE ELEVEN

Transfers to Non-Covered Employment

11.1    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) to the contrary, if a Participant is transferred on or before December 31, 2004 to the employment of an Affiliated Company that has not adopted the Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) (“non-covered employment”), upon the approval of the Chief Executive Officer of Union Pacific, any benefits to which such Participant (or his Surviving Spouse or other beneficiary) would be entitled under the Pension Plan, the Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component), or both, by treating such Participant’s non-covered employment that occurred on or before December 31, 2004 as if it were service covered by such Plans and by aggregating such service with the Participant’s other service covered by the Plans, shall be provided to the Participant under this Section 11.1 to the extent that such benefits exceed the aggregate of (a) the Participant’s benefits under the Pension Plan, (b) the Participant’s benefits under the Supplemental Plan (409A Grandfathered Component) determined without regard to this Section 11.1, and (c) the Participant’s benefits under any pension plan of the Affiliated Company that are based on the Participant’s non-covered employment and/or employment otherwise covered by the Pension and Supplemental Plans.

ARTICLE TWELVE

Claims Procedure

12.1    Application for Benefits. Each Participant, former Participant, Special 1990-1992 Window Participant, Surviving Spouse or other beneficiary, or alternate payee under a domestic relations order believing himself or herself eligible for a benefit under this Supplemental Plan shall apply for such benefit by completing and filing with the Administrator an application for benefits on a form supplied by the Administrator.

12.2    Claims Before January 1, 2002. The following provisions are effective prior to January 1, 2002: In the event that any claim for benefits is denied in whole or in part, the person whose claim has been so denied shall be notified of such denial in writing by the Administrator. The notice advising of the denial shall specify the reason or reasons for denial, make specific reference to pertinent provisions of the Supplemental Plan, describe any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim (explaining why such material or information is needed), and shall advise the claimant of the procedure for the appeal of such denial. All appeals shall be made by the following procedure:

(a)    The person whose claim has been denied shall file with the Administrator a notice of desire to appeal the denial. Such notice shall be filed within 60 days of notification by the Administrator of claim denial, shall be made in writing, and shall set forth all of the facts upon which the appeal is based. Appeals not timely filed shall be barred.

(b)    The Administrator shall consider the merits of the claimant’s written presentations, the merits of any facts or evidence in support of the denial of benefits, and such other facts and circumstances as the Administrator shall deem relevant.

(c)    The Administrator shall ordinarily render a determination upon the appealed claim within 60 days after receipt which determination shall be accompanied by a written statement as to the reasons therefor. However, in special circumstances the Administrator may extend the response period for up to an additional 60 days, in which event it shall notify the claimant in writing prior to commencement of the extension. The determination so rendered shall be binding upon all parties.

12.3    Claims On or After January 1, 2002. The following provisions are effective on and after January 1, 2002:

(a)    Claim for Benefits. A claim for Supplemental Plan benefits may be filed by:

(i)     any person (or his duly authorized representative) who has applied for and/or received benefits from the Supplemental Plan pursuant to Section 12.1 and who believes that the amount and/or form of benefits provided (including no benefits) or any change in or termination or reduction of benefits previously provided results in a denial of benefits to which he is entitled for any reason (whether under the terms of the Supplemental Plan or by reason of any provision of law); or

(ii)    any Employee or other individual (or his duly authorized representative) who believes himself to be entitled to benefits from the Supplemental Plan.

A claim for benefits must be filed with the Administrator, in writing and in accordance with such other requirements as may be prescribed by the Administrator. Any claim shall be processed as follows:

(A)    When a claim for benefits has been filed by the claimant (or his duly authorized representative), such claim for benefits shall be evaluated and the claimant shall be notified by the Administrator of the approval or denial within a reasonable period of time, but not later than 90 days after the receipt of such claim unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim. If such an extension of time for processing is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the termination of the initial 90-day period and shall specify the special circumstances requiring an extension and the date by which a final decision will be reached (which date shall not be later than 180 days after the date on which the claim was received).

(B)    A claimant shall be given written notice in which the claimant shall be advised as to whether the claim is granted or denied, in whole or in part. If a claim is denied, in whole or in part, the claimant shall be given written notice which shall contain (I) the specific reasons for the denial, (II) references to the specific Supplemental Plan provisions upon which the denial is based, (III) a description of any additional material or information necessary to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, (IV) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim, (V) the claimant’s rights to seek review of the denial and time limits and other aspects of the Supplemental Plan’s claim review procedures, and (VI) a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA section 502(a) following an adverse determination upon review.

(b)    Review of Claim Denial. If a claim for benefits is denied, in whole or in part, the claimant (or his duly authorized representative) shall have the right to request that the Administrator review the denial, provided that the claimant files in accordance with such requirements as may be prescribed by the Administrator a written request for review with the Administrator within 60 days after the date on which the claimant received written notification of the denial. A claimant (or his duly authorized representative) may review relevant documents, records and other information relevant to the claim (or receive copies free of charge) and may submit to the Administrator with the written request for review documents, records, written comments and other information relevant to the claim for benefits, which shall be considered upon review whether or not such information and other items were available when the claim was originally determined. Requests for review not timely filed shall be barred. A timely request for claim review shall be processed as follows:

(i)    Within a reasonable period of time, but not later than 60 days after a request for review is received, the review shall be made and the claimant shall be advised in writing of the decision on review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the review. If an extension is needed, the claimant shall be given a written notification within such initial 60-day period specifying the reasons for the extension and when such review shall be completed (provided that such review shall be completed within 120 days after the date on which the request for review was filed). However, if the period for deciding the claim has been extended under this paragraph (i) due to a claimant’s failure to provide information necessary to decide a claim, the period for making a decision on review shall be tolled from the date the claimant is sent written notice of the extension until the date on which the claimant responds to the request for information (or such earlier date as may be prescribed by the Administrator in accordance with applicable law and regulations).

(ii)    The decision on review shall be forwarded to the claimant in writing and shall include (A) specific reasons for the decision, (B) references to the specific Plan provisions upon which the decision is based, (C) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim, and (D) a statement of the claimant’s right to bring an action under ERISA section 502(a). A decision on review shall be final and binding on all persons for all purposes.

(c)    Exhaustion of Claims Review Process. A claimant shall have no right to seek review of a denial of benefits, or to bring any action in any court to enforce a claim for benefits prior to his filing a claim for benefits and exhausting his rights to review under this Section 12.3.

12.4    Claims Related to Corrections Under Pension Plan Compliance Statement. Notwithstanding any provision of the Supplemental Plan to the contrary, any individual whose Supplemental Plan benefit is recalculated or adjusted in connections with corrections made under the Compliance Statement dated October 25, 2001 (that was issued for the Pension Plan under the Internal Revenue Service Voluntary Compliance Resolution Program) and who believes that such recalculation and/or adjustment results in a denial of benefits to which he is entitled for any reason (whether under the terms of the Supplemental Plan or by reason of any provision of law) may file a claim with the Administrator, in writing, stating the reasons he disagrees with such recalculation and/or adjustment and providing proof of any service, compensation or other facts that he believes should be taken into account. In order to be considered by the Supplemental Plan, such written claim and proof must be received by the Administrator by the date specified in the written notice of such recalculation and/or adjustment that is sent by the Administrator (or his delegate), by first class mail, to the person’s address reflected in Supplemental Plan records on the date of the mailing. The deadline for filing a claim under this Section 12.4 that is specified in the written notice from the Administrator shall be a date not earlier than 90 days after the date such notice is mailed to the person. Any claim described in this Section 12.4 that is not received by the date specified in the written notice of recalculation and/or adjustment shall be denied on the grounds that it is untimely.
