Article 1 –     Preamble






1.01    The Rules


This document constitutes the rules governing the Canadian Pacific Railway Company Pension Plan.


1.02    Governing Law


This Plan and all rights and obligations hereunder shall be construed, governed and administered in accordance with the laws of Canada, except for those rights and obligations that are solely within the jurisdiction of a province or other competent authority.


1.03    Prior Rights


Any rights acquired under the Plan before January 1, 1987 shall be preserved and this Plan shall be administered accordingly.  For greater certainty, nothing herein shall be deemed to affect any benefit that has commenced or is to commence in consequence of a termination, retirement or death of a Member or Former Member before that date unless otherwise expressly provided.


1.04    Defined Contribution Provision


The Company hereby continues the Plan in an amended form, effective January 1, 2001.  This amended form establishes in Appendix B, a defined contribution provision for Management Employees.  It further provides for a limited time transfer by Management Employees of benefits accrued under the defined benefit provisions of the Plan to the defined contribution provisions of Appendix B in accordance with paragraph 4.03.


		
	1.05
	Checkerboard Approach to Pension Benefits




Effective April 1, 2005, the Plan was amended to implement a “checkerboard” approach to pension benefits for Members who have transferred between Union positions or between a Union position and a Management position since the various applicable “Key Dates”.  Refer to Article 1A for a description of the checkerboard approach to pension benefits.  


The amendments to reflect the checkerboard approach to pension benefits were first reflected in the April 1, 2005 restatement of the Plan document.


		
	1.06
	Consolidation of Plan Document




This Plan document is a consolidation of the Plan rules incorporating all amendments to the Plan up to January 1, 2009.  It applies to Members accruing Pensionable Service on or after April 1, 2005 and for Members with a Date of Cessation of Membership on or after April 1, 2005.  For Members with a Date of Cessation of Membership prior to April 1, 2005, benefit entitlements are determined pursuant to the Plan rules and related amendments in effect prior to this date.  





1


Article 1A –     Checkerboard Approach to Pension Benefits






		
	1A.01
	Principles of the Checkerboard Approach




The key principles of the checkerboard approach to pension benefits are as follows:


		
	(a)
	A “Key Date” and a “Member Key Date” are defined in Article 2.  The Key Date refers to the first date past service formula pensions were improved under the Plan for Members represented by a Union, or January 1, 2001 in respect of Management Employees.  Each Member shall have one Member Key Date;  


		
	(b)
	Pensionable Service prior to a Member Key Date is treated according to the Union or Management affiliation at the Member Key Date;


		
	(c)
	Periods of Pensionable Service after a Member Key Date are segmented according to the Union or Management affiliation for that time period;


		
	(d)
	The pension formula applicable to periods of Pensionable Service is determined according to the current provisions applicable to the particular Union, regardless of when the Pensionable Service was accrued or whether currently represented by such Union.  For clarity, pension formula improvements apply retroactively to all periods of Pensionable Service only if the Member has been continuously represented by the same Union since the Key Date or since the Member’s date of employment, if later;


		
	(e)
	In addition to the pension formula, the following other Plan provisions also follow the checkerboard approach:


		
	▪
	Highest Plan Earnings and Base Earnings related thereto,


		
	▪
	Normal Retirement Date,


		
	▪
	Early retirement pension(s),


		
	▪
	Normal form of pension,


		
	▪
	Indexation eligibility and amount, and


		
	▪
	Vesting.


Certain other provisions (optional forms of pension, including any portability option on retirement and any entitlement to a pension on Disability Retirement Date) will be based on the Member’s Union or Management affiliation at Date of Cessation of Membership, while other provisions (Member contribution rates, interest on Member contributions and buyback provisions, as set out in Article 17) will be based on the Member’s Union or Management affiliation at that point in time (referred to as “current location”).
