conditions thereof, including the number of Shares subject to Awards and the exercise or purchase price of such Shares and the circumstances under which Awards become exercisable or vested or are forfeited or expire, which terms may but need not be
conditioned upon the passage of time, continued employment, the satisfaction of performance criteria, the occurrence of certain events (including events which the Board or the Committee determine constitute a Change in Control), or other factors;

ability to grant Awards and take the other actions described in Section 3(b) with respect to non-executive employees, and such actions shall be treated for purposes of Section 3(c) as if taken by the Committee. 
  

	4.	ELIGIBILITY 

 To be eligible for selection by the
Committee to participate in the Plan an individual must be an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary. Directors who are not full-time salaried employees shall not be eligible. The Committee may grant Awards of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights,

	5.	STOCK SUBJECT TO THIS PLAN 

 a. Aggregate
Limits. The aggregate number of Shares of the Company’s Common Stock that shall be available for grant under this Plan shall be 21,000,000, plus any Shares subject to awards made under Prior Plans that are outstanding on the
effective date of this Plan and become available pursuant to Section 5(c). Any Shares granted as Options or Stock Appreciation Rights shall be counted against this limit as one (1) Share for every one (1) Share granted. Any Shares
granted as Awards other than Options or Stock Appreciation Rights shall be counted against this limit as one and four-tenths (1.4) Shares for every one (1) Share granted. The aggregate number of Shares available for grant under this Plan
and the number of Shares subject to outstanding Awards shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 13. In addition, the aggregate number of Shares available for grant under this Plan shall not be reduced by Shares subject to Awards
granted upon the assumption of or in substitution for awards granted by a business or entity that is acquired by, or whose assets are acquired by, the Company. The Shares issued pursuant to Awards granted under this Plan may be Shares that either
were reacquired by the Company, including Shares purchased in the open market, or authorized but unissued Shares. 
  

 6 








 b. Tax Code Limits. The aggregate number of Shares that may be granted as Options or
Stock Appreciation Rights under this Plan during any consecutive 36-month period to any one Participant shall not exceed 3,000,000. The aggregate number of Shares that may be granted as Retention Shares or Stock Units under this Plan during any
consecutive 36-month period to any one Participant shall not exceed 750,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, the foregoing limitations shall be subject to adjustment under Section 13, but only to the extent that such
adjustment will not affect the status of any Award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. The foregoing limitations shall not apply to the extent that they are no longer required in
order for compensation in connection with Awards under this Plan to be treated as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. 
 c. Share Add-Backs. For purposes of this Section 5, the aggregate number of Shares available for Awards under this Plan at any time shall not be reduced by (i) Shares subject to Awards
that have been canceled, expired, forfeited or settled in cash, (ii) Shares subject to Awards that have been retained by the Company in payment or satisfaction of the purchase price or tax withholding obligation of an Award, or
(iii) Shares subject to Awards that otherwise do not result in the issuance of Shares in connection with payment or settlement of an Award. Any Shares that again become available for grant pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) of this
Section 5(c) shall be added back as one (1) Share if such Shares were subject to Options or Stock Appreciation Rights and as one and four-tenths (1.4) Shares if such Shares were subject to Awards other than Options and Stock
Appreciation Rights. In addition, Shares that have been delivered (either actually or constructively by attestation) to the Company in payment or satisfaction of the purchase price or tax withholding obligation of an Award or an award under any of
the Prior Plans and Shares repurchased in the open market with Option Proceeds from Awards or awards under any of the Prior Plans shall be available for Awards under this Plan; provided, however, that the increase in the aggregate number of Shares
available for grant pursuant to the repurchase of Shares with Option Proceeds shall not be greater than the amount of such proceeds divided by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise of the option giving rise to such proceeds.
Shares subject to awards made under Prior Plans that do not result in the issuance of Shares for the reasons listed in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 5(c) shall be available for grant under this Plan. Each Share that again
becomes available for grant in connection with awards under Prior Plans shall be added back as one (1) Share. 
  

	6.	TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS 

 The Committee may
grant an Option or provide for the grant of an Option, either from time to time in the discretion of the Committee or automatically upon the occurrence of specified events, including, without limitation, the achievement of performance goals, the
satisfaction of an event or condition within the control of the recipient of the Award or within the control of others. All Options under the Plan shall be granted subject to the following terms and conditions: 
 a. Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share with respect to each Option shall be determined by the Committee but shall not be
less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date the Option is granted, provided, however, that the exercise price per share with respect to an Option that is granted in connection with a merger, stock exchange, or other
acquisition as a substitute or replacement award for options held by optionees of the 

  

 7 








 
acquired entity may be less than 100% of Fair Market Value on the date the Option is granted as long as it is equal to or greater than the fair market value
of the substitute or replacement award at its date of grant. 
 b. Duration. The Committee shall establish the
term of an Option, provided that in no event shall any Option be exercisable subsequent to the tenth anniversary of the date on which it is granted. 
 c. Exercise. Except as provided in Section 6(g), the Shares covered by an Option may not be purchased prior to the first anniversary of the date on which the Option is awarded, or such longer
period or periods, and subject to such conditions, as the Committee may determine, but thereafter may be purchased at one time or in such installments over the balance of the option period as may be provided in the Option Document. Any Shares not
purchased on the applicable installment date may, unless the Committee shall have determined otherwise, be purchased thereafter at any time prior to the final expiration of the Option. To the extent that the right to purchase Shares has accrued
thereunder, Options may be exercised from time to time by notice to the Company stating the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised. 
 d. Payment. Except as set forth herein, Shares purchased under Options shall, at the time of purchase, be paid for in full in cash. All, or any portion, of the option price may, at the discretion
of the Committee, be paid (i) under an arrangement with the Stock Administrator where payment is made pursuant to an irrevocable direction to the Stock Administrator to deliver all or part of the proceeds from the sale of Shares issuable under
the Option to the Company or (ii) by the surrender (either actually or constructively by attestation) to the Company, at the time of exercise, of Shares of previously acquired Common Stock owned by the Participant, to the extent that such
payment does not require the surrender of a fractional share of such previously acquired Common Stock or (iii) by authorizing the Company to withhold Common Stock otherwise issuable on exercise of the Option. Such Shares previously acquired and
used to pay the option price shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the date the Option is exercised or as otherwise determined in accordance with the procedures to be established by the Committee. A Participant shall have none of the rights of a
shareholder until the Shares are issued to him or her. 
 e. Restrictions. The Committee shall determine, with respect
to each Option, the nature and extent of the restrictions, if any, to be imposed on the Shares that may be purchased thereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may impose conditions restricting absolutely or
conditionally the transferability of Shares acquired through the exercise of Options for such periods, and subject to such conditions, including continued employment of the Participant by the Company or a Subsidiary, as the Committee may determine.

 f. Non-Transferabilitv of Options. During a Participant’s lifetime, Options may be exercised only by the
Participant and shall not be transferable, except for exercise by the Participant’s Beneficiaries following a Participant’s death or as otherwise authorized by the Committee. 
  

 8 








 g. Termination of Employment. Unless the Committee shall determine otherwise, upon
the termination of a Participant’s employment for any reason and except as provided in clause (ii), (iii) or (vi) below, Options shall expire immediately as to those Shares for which they were not then exercisable, and as to the
remaining Shares for which the Options were exercisable at the time of such termination of employment, such Options shall expire on the earlier of the expiration of the term of the Options or according to the following schedule: 
 (i) Retirement. If a Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary by reason of
retirement under the provisions of the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s pension plan, the Options shall expire, unless exercised, five (5) years after such termination of employment. 
 (ii) Death or Disability. If (A) a Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary
prior to the end of the holding period required by Section 6(c) by reason of death or disability under the provisions of the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s long-term disability plan, and (B) upon such termination all conditions to
exercisability of the Options required pursuant to Section 6(c) other than such holding period have been satisfied, the holding period required pursuant to Section 6(c) shall automatically be deemed to have been satisfied, and the Options
shall expire, unless exercised by the Participant, or if such termination was as a result of Participant’s death, by Participant’s legal representatives or heirs, five (5) years after such termination of employment. 
 (iii) Disposition of Business. Subject to Section 6(g)(vi) with respect to a Change in Control of the
Company, in the case of a termination that is deemed to occur upon the disposition by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of all or a part of its interest in, or the discontinuance of a business of, a Subsidiary, division or other business unit,
(A) if an Option is unexercisable because the holding period or other conditions required by Section 6(c) have not been satisfied in accordance with their original schedule, such Option shall not be forfeited automatically, but the holding
period or other conditions required by Section 6(c) shall continue in accordance with their original schedule and the Option shall expire, unless exercised, five (5) years after the date of such termination and (B) if an Option is
exercisable, the exercise period of the Option shall expire, unless exercised, five (5) years after the date of such termination; 
 (iv) Force Reduction Program. Subject to Section 6(g)(vi), in the case of a termination (other than retirement) resulting from a force reduction program instituted by the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries, the Option shall expire, unless exercised, three (3) years from the date of termination. 
 (v)
Gross Misconduct. Options shall expire upon receipt by the Participant of the notice of termination if he or she is terminated for deliberate, willful or gross misconduct as determined by the Company. 
 (vi) Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6(g), unless the
Committee shall expressly provide otherwise in the Option Document at the time of grant, in the event a Participant’s employment is involuntarily terminated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than termination as a result 

  

 9 








 
of disability or gross misconduct, but including a termination described in subsection (iii) and (iv) above) within (2) years following a
Change in Control, any holding period or other condition required pursuant to Section 6(c) shall automatically be deemed to have been satisfied, the Options shall become fully vested and exercisable, and the Options shall remain exercisable for
a period of three (3) years following such termination (or five (5) years following such termination in the case of a termination described in Subsection (i), (ii) or (iii) above) but in no event after the expiration of the term
of the Option. 
 (vii) All Other Terminations. Options shall expire, unless exercised, three (3) months
after the date of such termination. 
 h. Option Document. Each Option Document shall contain provisions regarding
(i) the number of Shares that may be issued upon exercise of the Option, (ii) the purchase price of the Shares and the means of payment for the Shares, (iii) the term of the Option, (iv) such terms and conditions on the vesting
and/or exercisability of an Option, (v) restrictions on the transfer of the Option and forfeiture provisions and (vi) such further terms and conditions, in each case not inconsistent with this Plan as may be determined from time to time by
the Committee. 
 i. No Option Repricing. Without the approval of shareholders, the Company shall not reprice any
Options, except for adjustments under Section 13 as determined by the Committee. For purposes of this Plan, the term “reprice” shall mean lowering the exercise price of previously awarded Options within the meaning of Item 402(i)
under Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-K, and shall also include any transactions deemed “repricings” under the relevant rules of the New York Stock Exchange. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company
take action to reprice any Option which constitutes (i) a modification of a stock right within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(B) so as to constitute the grant of a new stock right, (ii) an extension of a stock
right, including the addition of a feature for the deferral of compensation within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(C), or (iii) an impermissible acceleration of a payment date or a subsequent deferral of a stock
right subject to Code Section 409A within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(E). 
  

	7.	TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 

 A “Stock Appreciation Right” means a right that entitles the Participant to receive, in cash or Shares (as determined by the Committee), value equal to or otherwise based on the excess of,(i) the Fair Market Value of a
specified number of Shares at the time of exercise over (ii) the exercise price of the right, as established by the Committee on the date of grant. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to Participants either alone (“freestanding”)
or in addition to or in tandem with other Awards granted under the Plan and may, but need not, relate to a specific Option granted under Section 6. The provisions of Stock Appreciation Rights need not be the same with respect to each grant or
each recipient. Any Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Option may be granted at the same time such Option is granted or at any time thereafter before exercise or expiration of such Option. All Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan
shall be granted subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to Options as set forth in Section 6, including without limitation the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 6(a), 6(b) 

  

 10 








 
and 6(c) relating to option price, duration and exercise conditions; provided, however, that Stock Appreciation Rights granted in tandem with a previously
granted Option shall have the terms and conditions of such Option. Subject to the provisions of Section 6, the Committee may impose such other conditions or restrictions on any Stock Appreciation Right as it shall deem appropriate. Stock
Appreciation Rights may be settled in Shares or cash as determined by the Committee. 
  

	8.	TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARDS OF RETENTION SHARES 

 a. General. Retention Shares may be granted to reward the attainment of individual, Company or Subsidiary goals, or to attract or retain officers or other employees of the Company or any Subsidiary, and shall be granted
subject to the attainment of performance goals unless the Committee shall determine otherwise. The Committee may specify that the grant, vesting or retention of any or all Retention Shares is intended to satisfy the requirements for
“performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, provided that the performance criteria for the grant, vesting or retention of any such Retention Shares shall be a measure based on one or more Qualifying Performance
Criteria selected by the Committee and specified at the time the Retention Shares are granted. The Committee shall certify the extent to which any Qualifying Performance Criteria has been satisfied, and the amount payable as a result thereof, prior
to payment of any Retention Shares that are intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. 
 b. Restrictions. 
 (i) Restriction Period and Vesting Conditions.
With respect to each grant of Retention Shares under the Plan, the Committee shall determine the period or periods, including any conditions for determining such period or periods, during which the restrictions set forth in Section 8(b) shall
apply, provided that in no event, other than as provided in Section 8(c), shall such restrictions terminate prior to three (3) years after the date of grant (the “Restriction Period”), and the Committee may also specify any other
terms or conditions, including the attainment of performance goals, to the right of the Participant to receive such Retention Shares (“Vesting Conditions”). Subject to Section 8(c) and any such Vesting Condition, a grant of Retention
Shares shall be effective for the Restriction Period and may not be revoked; provided, however, in the event of a Change in Control of the Company (i) with respect to Retention Shares (other than Retention Shares granted pursuant to any future
long term incentive plan (“LTP”)), the Restriction Period shall end with respect to that number of such Retention Shares calculated by multiplying the total number of such Retention Shares by the fraction obtained by dividing the number of
full months from the commencement of such Restriction Period through the date of such Change in Control by the total number of months contained in such Restriction Period (determined without regard to this proviso), and (ii) any Retention
Shares granted to such Participant pursuant to an LTP shall be subject to the terms of the applicable agreement issued under an LTP. In the event a payment becomes due, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to make such payment either in
cash, in Shares, in shares of equity securities of the entity (or its parent) resulting from such Change in Control or in any combination of the foregoing. 
  

 11 








 (ii) Rights in Retention Shares. At the time of grant of Retention Shares
to a Participant, an electronic account representing the number of Shares granted shall be registered in the Participant’s name but shall be held by the Company for his or her account. The Participant shall have the entire beneficial ownership
interest in, and all rights and privileges of a shareholder as to, such Retention Shares, including the right to vote such Retention Shares and, unless the Committee shall determine otherwise, the right to receive dividends thereon, subject to the
following restrictions, except as provided by Sections 8(b) and 8(c): (A) the Participant shall not be entitled to delivery of the Shares until the expiration of the Restriction Period and the satisfaction of any Vesting Conditions;
(B) none of the Retention Shares may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of during the Restriction Period or prior to the satisfaction of any Vesting Conditions; and (C) all of the Retention Shares
shall be forfeited and all rights of the Participant to such Retention Shares shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company unless the Participant remains in the continuous employment of the Company or a Subsidiary for the
entire Restriction Period and any applicable Vesting Conditions have been satisfied. Any Shares or other securities or property received as a result of a transaction listed in Section 13 shall be subject to the same restrictions as such
Retention Shares unless the Committee shall determine otherwise. 
 If the grant of Retention Shares includes a right to receive dividends,
the payment of dividends with respect to Retention Shares shall be made, on and after the date of grant without regard to whether the Participant has satisfied the Restriction Period and Vesting Condition requirements, and shall be paid (prior to
vesting and delivery of the Retention Shares) within thirty (30) days of the date such dividends are declared. 
 c. Termination
of Employment. Unless the Committee shall determine otherwise, upon the termination of a Participant’s employment, Retention Shares shall be treated as provided below: 
 (i) Retirement. If (A) a Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary prior to the end of a
Restriction Period, by reason of retirement under the provisions of the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s pension plan at or after actual age 65, and (B) all Vesting Conditions have been satisfied, the Retention Shares granted to such
Participant shall immediately vest and all restrictions applicable to such Retention Shares shall lapse. The Shares shall be delivered to the Participant in accordance with the provisions of Section 8(d). 
 (ii) Death or Disability. If (A) a Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary prior to the end
of a Restriction Period by reason of death or disability under the provisions of the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s long-term disability plan, and (B) all Vesting Conditions have been satisfied, the Retention Shares granted to such
Participant shall immediately vest for the Participant or in his or her Beneficiary, as the case may be, and all restrictions applicable to such Retention Shares shall lapse. The Shares shall be delivered to the Participant’s Beneficiary in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8(d). 
  

 12 








 (iii) Vesting Conditions. If a Participant ceases to be an employee of the
Company or a Subsidiary for any reason prior to the satisfaction of any Vesting Conditions (other than as a result of a Change in Control as described in subsection (iv) below), the Participant shall immediately forfeit all Retention Shares
then subject to the restrictions of Section 8(b) in accordance with the provisions thereof, except that the Committee may, if it finds that the circumstances in the particular case so warrant, allow a Participant whose employment has so
terminated to retain any or all of the Retention Shares then subject to the restrictions of Section 8(b) and all restrictions applicable to such Retention Shares shall lapse. The Shares shall be delivered to the Participant in accordance with
the provisions of Section 8(d). 
 (iv) Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 8(c), unless the Committee shall expressly provide otherwise in the document(s) evidencing Retention Shares at the time of grant, in the event a Participant’s employment is involuntarily terminated by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries (other than a termination as a result of gross misconduct, but including a termination described in subsection (i) and (ii) above) within two (2) years following a Change in Control, the remaining restrictions with
respect to Retention Shares, Original Retention Shares and Premium Retention Shares, including any remaining Restriction Period, or Vesting Conditions, shall lapse and the Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to satisfy its obligations
either in cash, in Shares, in shares of equity securities of the entity (or its parent) resulting from such Change in Control or in any combination of the foregoing. 
 (v) All Other Terminations. If a Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary prior to the end of a
Restriction Period for any reason other than death, disability or retirement at or after actual age 65 as provided in Section 8(c)(i) and (ii) or a termination pursuant to Section 8(c)(iv), the Participant shall immediately forfeit
all Retention Shares then subject to the restrictions of Section 8(b) in accordance with the provisions thereof, except that the Committee may, if it finds that the circumstances in the particular case so warrant, allow a Participant whose
employment has so terminated to retain any or all of the Retention Shares to the extent that the Restriction Period set forth in Section 8(b) has been satisfied and all Vesting Conditions applicable to such Retention Shares shall lapse the
Shares shall be delivered to the Participant in accordance with the provisions of Section 8(d). 
 d. Payment of Retention
Shares. At the end of the Restriction Period and after all Vesting Conditions have been satisfied, or at such earlier time as provided for in Section 8(c), all restrictions applicable to the Retention Shares shall lapse, and the Shares
equal to the number of Retention Shares, free of all restrictions, shall be delivered to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days of the date all such restrictions applicable to the Retention Shares
lapsed. 
  

	9.	STOCK UNITS 

 a. Grant of Stock
Units. The Committee may also grant Awards of Stock Units under the Plan. With respect to each grant of Stock Units, the Committee shall determine the period or periods, including any conditions for determining such period or periods, during
which 
  

 13 








 
any restrictions on vesting shall apply, provided that in no event, except as otherwise provided in Sections 9(c), 9(d) or 9(e), shall such period or periods
be less than three (3) years (the “Unit Restriction Period”). The Committee may also make any Award of Stock Units subject to the satisfaction of other conditions, including the attainment of performance goals, or contingencies
(“Unit Vesting Condition”), in order for a Participant to receive payment of such Stock Unit Award, which shall be established by the Committee at the time of the Stock Unit Award. The Committee may specify that the grant, vesting or
retention of any or all Stock Units is intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, provided that the performance criteria for the grant, vesting or retention of any such
Stock Units shall be a measure based on one or more Qualifying Performance Criteria selected by the Committee and specified at the time the Stock Units are granted. The Committee shall certify the extent to which any Qualifying Performance Criteria
has been satisfied, and the amount payable as a result thereof, prior to payment of any Stock Units that are intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. Awards of Stock
Units shall be payable in Shares or cash as determined by the Committee. For any Stock Unit Award which is intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under section 162(m) of the Code, no such Award shall be
considered vested unless and until the Qualifying Performance Criteria and Unit Restriction Period (as may be modified in Subsections 9(c), (d) or (e)) have been satisfied. 
 (i) Affect of Unit Restriction Period. Except as provided by Section 9(c), (d) or (e), (A) the Participant shall not
be entitled to payment of the Stock Units until the expiration of the Unit Restriction Period and the satisfaction of any Unit Vesting Conditions; (B) none of the Stock Units may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or otherwise encumbered
or disposed of during the Unit Restriction Period or prior to the satisfaction of any Unit Vesting Conditions; and (C) all of the Stock Units shall be forfeited and all rights of the Participant to such Stock Units shall terminate without
future obligation on the part of the Company or a Subsidiary unless the Participant remains in the continuous employment of the Company or a Subsidiary for the entire Unit Restriction Period and any applicable Unit Vesting Conditions have been
satisfied. If the number of a Participant’s Stock Units are adjusted as the result of a transaction listed in Section 13, such adjusted Stock Units shall be subject to the same restrictions as had applied prior to such adjustment, unless
the Committee shall determine otherwise consistent with the requirements of that Section. 
 (ii) Dividend Equivalents.
If the award of Stock Units includes a right to receive dividend equivalents, the payment of such dividend equivalents shall be as provided for in the agreement describing the Stock Unit Award, subject to Section 11 hereof; provided that such
right to receive dividend equivalents conforms to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder, and shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements. 
 b. Deferral. A Participant may elect to defer receipt of payment of an Award of Stock Units pursuant to the terms of the Deferred
Compensation Plan of Union Pacific Corporation with respect to the SIP. 
  

 14 








 c. Separation from Service. Unless the Committee provides otherwise at the time an Award of
Stock Units to a Participant is made, Stock Units shall be treated as provided below: 
 (i) Death or Disability. 

(A) If a Participant has a Separation from Service prior to the end of a Unit Restriction Period by reason of death and all Unit
Vesting Conditions have been satisfied, the Stock Units granted to such Participant shall immediately vest in his or her Beneficiary, and all restrictions applicable to such Stock Units shall lapse. The Stock Unit Award shall be paid to the
Participant’s Beneficiary within thirty (30) days of the Participant’s death. 
 (B) If a Participant ceases to
be an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary prior to the end of a Unit Restriction Period by reason of disability under the provisions of the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s long-term disability plan, and all Unit Vesting Conditions have
been satisfied, the Stock Units granted to such Participant shall immediately vest for the Participant and all restrictions applicable to such Stock Units shall lapse and, in the event such Participant did not make a deferral election with respect
to such Stock Unit, it shall be paid as follows: 
 (1) in the event the Participant has not attained Retirement Status before
qualifying for long-term disability benefits under the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s long-term disability plan, then such Stock Unit shall be paid to the Participant within thirty (30) days of such Participant’s qualifying for
long-term disability under the Company’s or Subsidiary’s long-term disability plan; and 
 (2) in the event the
Participant has attained Retirement Status before qualifying for long-term disability benefits under the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s long-term disability plan: (X) if such Stock Unit is nonetheless “deferred compensation”
under Code Section 409A, then such Stock Unit shall be paid in accordance with Subsection 9(f)(iii); or (Y) if such Stock Unit is not “deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A, such Stock Unit shall be paid to the
Participant within thirty (30) days of such Participant’s qualifying for long-term disability under the Company’s or Subsidiary’s long-term disability plan. 
 (ii) Unit Vesting Conditions. If a Participant has a Separation from Service with the Company or a Subsidiary for any reason prior to the
satisfaction of any Unit Vesting Conditions (other than as a result of a Change in Control as described in subsection (d)(ii) below), the Participant shall immediately forfeit all Stock Units then subject to the restrictions of Subsection 9(a)
in accordance with the provisions thereof, except that the Committee may, if it finds that the circumstances in the particular case so warrant, allow a Participant who has had a Separation from Service to retain any or all of the Stock Units then
subject to the restrictions of Subsection 9(a) and all restrictions applicable to such Stock Units shall lapse. The Stock Unit Award shall be paid in accordance with provisions of Subsection 9(f). 
  

 15 








 (iii) All Other Separations from Service. If a Participant has a Separation from Service prior to
the end of a Unit Restriction Period for any reason other than (A) a Separation from Service after attaining Retirement Status described in subsection 9(e) below, (B) a Separation from Service described in subsection (c)(i) above, or
(C) a Separation from Service pursuant to Section 9(d)(ii), the Participant shall immediately forfeit all Stock Units then subject to the restrictions of Section 9(a) in accordance with the provisions thereof, except that the
Committee may, if it finds that the circumstances in the particular case so warrant, allow a Participant who has a Separation from Service to retain any or all of the Stock Units to the extent that the Unit Restriction Period set forth in
Section 9(a) has been satisfied and all Unit Vesting Conditions applicable to such Stock Units shall lapse. The Stock Unit Award shall be paid in accordance with provisions of Subsection 9(f). 
 d. Change in Control. 
 (i) In the event of a Change in Control of the Company (i) with respect to Stock Units (other than Stock Units granted pursuant to any current or future long term incentive plan (“LTP”)), the Unit Restriction Period shall end
with respect to that number of such Stock Units calculated by multiplying the total number of such Stock Units by the fraction obtained by dividing the number of full months from the commencement of such Unit Restriction Period through the date of
such Change in Control by the total number of months contained in such Unit Restriction Period (determined without regard to this proviso), and (ii) any Stock Units granted to such Participant pursuant to an LTP shall be subject to the terms of
the applicable agreement issued under an LTP. In the event a Stock Unit becomes payable under this subparagraph (d)(i) and the Participant did not make a deferral election with respect to such Stock Unit, such Stock Unit shall be paid as follows:

 (A) in the event the Participant has not attained Retirement Status before the date on which the Change in Control occurs, then such Stock
Unit shall be paid to the Participant within thirty (30) days of the date on which the Change in Control occurs; and 
 (B) in the event
the Participant has attained Retirement Status before the date on which the Change in Control occurs: (X) if such Stock Unit is nonetheless “deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A, then such Stock Unit Award shall be paid
in accordance with Subsection 9(f)(iii); or (Y) if such Stock Unit is not “deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A, then such Stock Unit shall be paid to the Participant within thirty (30) days of the date on which
the Change in Control occurs. 
 The Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to make such payment either in cash, in Shares, in shares of
equity securities of the entity (or its parent) resulting from such Change in Control or in any combination of the foregoing. 
  

 16 








 (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9(c), unless the Committee
shall expressly provide otherwise in the document(s) evidencing Stock Unit Awards at the time of grant, in the event a Participant has an involuntary Separation from Service from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than a Separation from
Service as a result of gross misconduct, but including a Separation from Service after attaining Retirement Status described in subsection 9(e) below and a Separation from Service described in subsection (c)(i) above) within two (2) years
following a Change in Control, the remaining restrictions with respect to Stock Units, including any remaining Unit Restriction Period, or Unit Vesting Conditions, shall lapse. Unless the Participant made a deferral election with respect to such
Stock Units, the Stock Units shall be paid within thirty (30) days of the Participant’s Separation from Service, subject to Subsection 9(f)(iv). The Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to satisfy its obligations either in cash, in
Shares, in shares of equity securities of the entity (or its parent) resulting from such Change in Control or in any combination of the foregoing. 
 e. Attainment of Retirement Status. Unless the Committee provides otherwise at the time an Award of Stock Units to a Participant is made: 
 (i) In the event a Participant attains Age 65 Retirement Status while in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary, the Unit Restriction
Period with respect to the applicable Stock Units granted to such Participant shall be deemed satisfied on the date Age 65 Retirement Status is attained. 
 (ii) In the event a Participant attains 60/10 Retirement Status while in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary, the Unit Restriction Period with respect to the applicable Stock Unit grant shall be deemed satisfied
as provided in accordance with the terms of the 2006 Stock Unit Agreement and 2006 Long Term Plan Stock Unit Agreement, each dated January 26, 2006, as amended from time to time and/or the 2007 Stock Unit Agreement and 2007 Long Term Plan Stock
Unit Agreement, each dated January 30, 2007 as amended from time to time, as applicable. 
 (iii) Assuming and to the
extent that any Unit Vesting Conditions have been satisfied, payment of the Stock Units for which Retirement Status has been attained in accordance with subparagraphs 9(e)(i) or 9(e)(ii) shall be made in accordance with Subsection 9(f). 

 

 17 








 f. Payment. Except as otherwise provided in Subsections 9(c) or 9(d), payment of Stock Unit
Awards shall be made as follows: 
 (i) Payment if Stock Unit Award Not Deferred Compensation. If the
Participant has not elected to defer payment of a Stock Unit Award and the Stock Unit Award is not otherwise “deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A (“Non-409A Stock Unit Award”): 
 (A) the Non-409A Stock Unit Award will be paid as soon as practicable following the
date the Unit Restriction Period has been satisfied and all Unit Vesting Conditions have been satisfied, but in no event later than two and one-half (2 1/2) months following the end of the calendar year that includes the date that all such restrictions applicable to the Non-409A Stock Unit Award lapsed. 
 (B) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant has attained Retirement Status during the Unit Restriction Period for such Non-409A
Stock Unit Award, but remains employed, the Stock Unit Award shall, assuming all Unit Vesting Conditions have been satisfied, be paid within thirty (30) days of the earlier of (A) the Participant’s Separation from Service or
(B) the date the Unit Restriction Period would have otherwise ended, but for the application of the special rules in Subsection 9(e). 
 (ii) Payment if deferred. If the Participant has elected to defer payment of the Stock Unit Award, then the Award will (provided the Unit Restriction Period has been satisfied and all Unit Vesting
Conditions have been satisfied) be paid in accordance with the Participant’s deferral consistent with the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan of Union Pacific Corporation. 
 (iii) Payment if Stock Unit Award Is Deferred Compensation. If the Participant has not made a deferral election with respect
to a Stock Unit Award but such Stock Unit Award is nevertheless “deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A and assuming the Unit Restriction Period has been satisfied and all Unit Vesting Conditions have been satisfied, such
Stock Unit Award shall be paid within thirty (30) days of the earlier of (A) the Participant’s Separation from Service or (B) the date the Unit Restriction Period would have otherwise ended but for the application of the special
rules in Subsections 9(c), 9(d) or 9(e), as applicable, subject to the Specified Employee Restriction described in Section 9(f)(iv). 
 (iv) Specified Employee Restriction. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, no payment of a Stock Unit that is “deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A triggered by
Separation from Service shall be made to a “specified employee” (as determined in accordance with a uniform policy adopted by the Company with respect to all arrangements subject to Section 409A of the Code maintained by the Company
and its Affiliated Companies) until six (6) months plus one day following such specified employee’s Separation from Service (the “Specified Employee Restriction”); provided, however, in the event of the specified employee’s
death before the date a Stock Unit Award payable under this Section 9 is paid, this provision shall not prevent payment of such Stock Unit Award at the time otherwise prescribed in this Section 9. 
  

 18 









	10.	TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF INCENTIVE BONUSES 

 Each
Incentive Bonus Award will confer upon the Participant the opportunity to earn a future payment tied to the level of achievement with respect to one or more performance criteria established for a performance period established by the Committee.

 a. Incentive Bonus Document. Each Incentive Bonus Document shall contain provisions regarding (i) the target and
maximum amount payable to the Participant as an Incentive Bonus, (ii) the performance criteria and level of achievement versus these criteria that shall determine the amount of such payment, (iii) the term of the performance period as to
which performance shall be measured for determining the amount of any payment, (iv) the timing of any payment earned by virtue of performance, (v) restrictions on the alienation or transfer of the Incentive Bonus prior to actual payment,
(vi) forfeiture provisions and (vii) such further terms and conditions, in each case not inconsistent with this Plan, as may be determined from time to time by the Committee. 
 b. Performance Criteria. The Committee shall establish the performance criteria and level of achievement versus these criteria that shall
determine the target and maximum amount payable under an Incentive Bonus Award, which criteria may be based on financial performance and/or personal performance evaluations. The maximum amount payable as an Incentive Bonus may be a multiple of the
target amount payable. The maximum amount payable as an Incentive Bonus under this Plan during any calendar year to any one Participant shall not exceed $10 million unless such limitation is no longer required under Section 162(m) of the Code.
The Committee may specify the percentage of the target Incentive Bonus that is intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, provided that the performance criteria for any
portion of an Incentive Bonus that is intended by the Committee to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code shall be a measure based on one or more Qualifying Performance Criteria
selected by the Committee and specified at the time the Incentive Bonus Award is granted. The Committee shall certify the extent to which any Qualifying Performance Criteria has been satisfied, and the amount payable as a result thereof, prior to
payment of any Incentive Bonus that is intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. 
 c. Timing and Form of Payment. The Committee shall determine the timing of payment
of any Incentive Bonus; provided, however, that Incentive Bonuses shall be paid to the Participant as soon as practicable following the satisfaction of the performance criteria (including the satisfaction of any Qualifying Performance Criteria as
certified by the Committee) and/or performance period as set forth in the Incentive Bonus Document (the “Performance End Date”), but in no event later than two and one-half (2 1/2) months following the end of the calendar year that includes the Performance End Date. An Incentive Bonus may be payable in Shares or in cash. Any Incentive Bonus
that is paid in cash shall not affect the number of Shares otherwise available for issuance under this Plan. 
 (i)
Deferrals. A Participant may elect to defer receipt of payment of all or part of any Incentive Bonus pursuant to the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan of Union Pacific Compensation with respect to the SIP. 
  

 19 








 d. Discretionary Adjustments. Notwithstanding satisfaction of any performance goals, the
amount paid under an Incentive Bonus Award on account of either financial performance or personal performance evaluations may be reduced by the Committee on the basis of such further considerations as the Committee shall determine. 
  

	11.	DIVIDENDS AND DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS 

 Any Award,
other than an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, may provide the Participant with the right to receive dividend payments or dividend equivalent payments on the Common Stock subject to the Award, whether or not such Award has been exercised or is
vested. Except as described in subsection (a), such payments shall be made in cash or Shares on the payment date established by the Board for the underlying dividends. Such payments may be subject to such conditions and contingencies as the
Committee may establish, provided however, that such payments shall in all events satisfy the “short-term deferral” exception to Code Section 409A described in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-(a)(4). 
 a. If Stock Units are Deferred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant elects to defer receipt of payment of an Award of Stock
Units pursuant to the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan of Union Pacific Corporation (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”), dividend equivalents with respect to such deferred Stock Unit Award which relate to dividends paid on and after
the date of the deferral of such Stock Unit Award (i.e., the date that the Stock Unit Award would have been payable to the Participant under this Plan had such amount not been deferred under the Deferred Compensation Plan) shall be reinvested as
part of the Award Account under the Deferred Compensation Plan, and shall be deferred for payment at the same time as the Award Account is paid under the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan. 
  

	12.	REGULATORY APPROVALS AND LISTING 

 The Company shall
not be required to issue to a Participant or a Beneficiary, as the case may be, any certificate for any Shares upon exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or for any Retention Shares granted under this Plan or to make any payment with
respect to any Incentive Bonus or Stock Unit granted under this Plan prior to (a) the obtaining of any approval from any governmental agency which the Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine to be necessary or advisable, (b) the
admission of such Shares to listing on any stock exchange on which the Common Stock may then be listed, and (c) the completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state or federal law or rulings or regulations of
any governmental body which the Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine to be necessary or advisable. 
  

	13.	CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE 

 a. Corporate
Actions Unimpaired. The existence of outstanding Awards (including any Options) shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its shareholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations,
reorganizations, exchanges, or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issuance of Shares or other securities or subscription rights thereto, or any issuance of
bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or 

  

 20 








 
affecting the Shares or other securities of the Company or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of
all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise. Further, except as expressly provided herein or by the Committee, (i) the issuance by the Company of shares of
stock or any class of securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash, property, labor or services, upon direct sale, upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of
the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, (ii) the payment of a dividend in property other than Shares, or (iii) the occurrence of any similar transaction, and in any case whether or not for fair value, shall not
affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of Shares subject to Options or other Awards theretofore granted or the purchase price per Share, unless the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion,
that an adjustment is necessary to provide equitable treatment to a Participant. 
 b. Adjustments Upon Certain Events. If the
outstanding Shares or other securities of the Company, or both, for which the Award is then exercisable or as to which the Award is to be settled shall at any time be changed or exchanged by declaration of a stock dividend, stock split, combination
of shares, extraordinary dividend of cash and/or assets, recapitalization, or reorganization, the Committee may, and if such event occurs after a Change of Control, the Committee shall, appropriately and equitably adjust the number and kind of
Shares or other securities which are subject to this Plan or subject to any Awards theretofore granted, and the exercise or settlement prices of such Awards, so as to maintain the proportionate number of Shares or other securities without changing
the aggregate exercise or settlement price. The Committee’s adjustment shall be effective and binding for all purposes of this Plan, provided that no such adjustment shall constitute (i) a modification of a stock right within the meaning
of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(B) so as to constitute the grant of a new stock right, (ii) an extension of a stock right, including the addition of any feature for the deferral of compensation within the meaning of Treas. Reg.
Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(C), or (iii) an impermissible acceleration of a payment date or a subsequent deferral of a stock right subject to Code Section 409A within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(E).
Furthermore, no adjustment as the result of a change in capitalization shall cause the exercise price to be less than the Fair Market Value of such shares (as adjusted to reflect the change in capitalization) on the date of grant, and any adjustment
as the result of the substitution of a new stock right or the assumption of an outstanding stock right pursuant to a corporate transaction shall satisfy the conditions described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D). 
  

	14.	QUALIFYING PERFORMANCE CRITERIA 

 For purposes of
this Plan, the term “Qualifying Performance Criteria” shall mean any one or more of the following performance criteria, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, applied to either the Company as a whole or to a business
unit or Subsidiary, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, and measured either annually or cumulatively over a period of years, on an absolute basis or relative to a pre-established target, to previous years’ results or to a
designated comparison group, in each case as specified by the Committee in the Award: (a) cash flow (before or after dividends), (b) earnings per share (including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization),

debt), (j) economic value added, (k) debt leverage (debt to capital), (1) revenue, (m) income or net income, (n) operating income, (o) operating profit or net operating profit, (p) operating margin or profit
margin, (q) return on operating revenue, (r) cash from operations, (s) operating ratio, (t) commodity or operating revenue, (u) market share, (v) customer service index, (w) service delivery index,

events that occurs during a performance period: (z) asset write-downs, (aa) litigation, claims, judgments or settlements, (bb) the effect of changes in tax law, accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported
results, (cc) accruals for reorganization and restructuring programs and (dd) any extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items as described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 and/or in management’s discussion and
analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the Company’s Annual Report to shareholders for the applicable year. 
  

	15.	TANDEM STOCK OR CASH RIGHTS 

 Either at the time an
Award is granted or by subsequent action, the Committee may, but need not, provide that an Award shall contain as a term thereof, a right, either in tandem with the other rights under the Award or as an alternative thereto, of the Participant to
receive, without payment to the Company, a number of Shares, cash or a combination thereof, the amount of which is determined by reference to the value of the Award; provided, however, that no such tandem stock or cash rights shall be made in
connection with an Option or Stock Appreciation Right. 
  

	16.	TAXES 

 a. Withholding Requirements.
The Committee may make such provisions or impose such conditions as it may deem appropriate for the withholding or payment by a Participant or Beneficiary of any taxes that the Committee determines are required in connection with the grant, vesting,
exercise, payment or settlement of any Award under this Plan, and a Participant’s or Beneficiary’s rights in any Award and in any Shares or other benefits thereunder shall be subject to satisfaction of such conditions. 
 b. Payment of Withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 16(a), the Committee may provide in the agreement or other
document evidencing an Award or otherwise that all or any portion of the taxes required to be withheld or, if and to the extent permitted by the Committee, desired to be paid by the Participant, in connection with the exercise, vesting, settlement
or transfer of any Award may be paid by withholding Shares otherwise issuable or subject to such Award, or by the Participant’s delivering previously acquired Shares (either actually or constructively by attestation), in each case having a Fair
Market Value equal to the amount required or elected to be withheld or paid, or by the Stock Administrator paying such amount pursuant to an irrevocable commitment by the Stock Administrator to deliver to the Company proceeds from the sale of the
Shares issuable under the Award. Any such election is subject to such conditions or procedures as may be established by the Committee and may be subject to approval by the Committee. 
  

 22 









	17.	TRANSFERABILITY 

 Unless the agreement or other
document evidencing an Award (or an amendment thereto authorized by the Committee) expressly states that the Award is transferable as provided hereunder, no Award granted under this Plan, nor any interest in such Award, may be sold, assigned,
conveyed, gifted, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred in any manner prior to the vesting or lapse of any and all restrictions applicable thereto, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Further, any Stock Units
deferred under Section 9, or Incentive Bonuses deferred under Section 10(c) shall not be sold, assigned, conveyed, gifted, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred in any manner. 
  

	18.	TERM OF THIS PLAN 

 No Awards shall be granted
pursuant to the Plan after April 16, 2014, but any Award theretofore granted may extend beyond that date and the terms and conditions of this Plan shall continue to apply thereto. 
  

	19.	TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT OF THIS PLAN 

 The Board
may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan and the Board or the Committee may to the extent permitted by the Plan amend any agreement or other document evidencing an Award made under this Plan but, except as provided pursuant to the anti-dilution
adjustment provisions of Section 13(b), no such amendment shall, without the approval of the shareholders of the Company:

 This
Plan, the grant and exercise of Awards thereunder, and the obligation of the Company to sell, issue or deliver Shares under such Awards, shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by
any governmental or regulatory agency as may be required. The Company shall not be required to register in a Participant’s name or deliver any Shares prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of such Shares under any federal,
state or local law or any ruling or regulation of any government body which the Committee shall determine to be necessary or advisable. This Plan is intended to constitute an unfunded arrangement for a select group of management and other key

registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Company has determined that such registration is unnecessary, each person receiving an Award and/or Shares pursuant to any Award may be required by the Company to give a representation
in writing that such person is acquiring such Shares for his or her own account for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any part thereof.
