5.           ACCOUNTS, DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS AND REORGANIZATION


 



	
  

	
5.1

	
PSU Account. An account, called a “PSU Account”, shall be maintained by the Corporation, or a Subsidiary, as specified by the Committee, for each Eligible Employee and will be credited with such notional grants of PSUs as are received by an Eligible Employee from time to time pursuant to Section 4.1 and any dividend equivalent PSUs pursuant to Section 5.2. PSUs that fail to vest pursuant to Section 6, or that are paid out to the Eligible Employee or his Beneficiary, shall be cancelled and shall cease to be recorded in the Eligible Employee’s PSU Account as of the date on which such PSUs are forfeited or cancelled under the Plan or are paid out, as the case may be.

Dividend Equivalent PSUs. Unless otherwise specified in the Grant Agreement each Grant shall be deemed to provide for the accrual of dividend equivalent amounts for the account of an Eligible Employee as hereinafter provided with respect to cash dividends paid in the ordinary course to shareholders in respect of outstanding Shares. Subject to the terms of the Grant Agreement, if and when cash dividends are paid with respect to Shares (other than any extraordinary dividend) to shareholders of record as of a record date occurring during the period from the Grant Date to the Settlement Date under the Grant Agreement, a number of additional PSUs shall be granted to the Eligible Employee who is a party to such Grant Agreement equal to the product of (i) the cash dividend paid with respect to a Share multiplied by (ii) the number of PSUs subject to such Grant as of the record date for the dividend, divided by the closing price of a Share on the Stock Exchange on the date on which the dividend is paid. The additional PSUs granted to a Participant shall be subject to the same terms and conditions, including Vesting and settlement terms, as the corresponding PSUs.

Settlement of Vested PSUs shall be made by payment in cash or in CP Common Shares at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer, subject to payment or other satisfaction of all related withholding obligations in accordance with Section 9.2 and the terms of the applicable Grant Agreement, of an aggregate amount equal to the product of:

For greater certainty, an Eligible Employee must be Employed in accordance with Section 1.3.11(a) (rounded up to the nearest whole number of months); for a minimum participation period of six (6) months during a Performance Period to receive a cash payment or any other compensation for Vested PSUs. Further, an Eligible Employee shall have no right to receive a cash payment or any other compensation with respect to any PSUs that do not Vest.

For greater certainty, an Eligible Employee shall not be considered to be Employed on a Settlement Date if, prior to such Settlement Date, such Eligible Employee received a payment in lieu of notice of Termination of employment, whether under a contract of employment, as damages or otherwise, or if such Eligible Employee experienced a Disability Date. Further, in the event an Eligible Employee has been Employed in accordance with Section 1.3.11(b) during the Performance Period in respect of a Grant, the number of PSUs relating to such Grant that become Vested shall be determined by the formula A x B/C, where

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, subject to Section 6.6, in the event an Eligible Employee ceases to be Employed by reason of Termination of employment without Cause, death or Retirement, or experiences a Disability prior to the end of the Performance Period relating to a Grant, a number of PSUs (the “Pro-Rated PSUs”) determined by the formula A x B/C, where







 



	
  

	
A

	
equals the total number of PSUs relating to such Grant, being the number of PSUs credited to the Eligible Employee’s PSU Account as at the Grant Date in respect of such Grant, without giving effect to any potential increase or decrease in such number as a result of graduated Vesting conditions pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 4.2;







 



	
  

	
B

	
equals the total number of months between the first day of the Performance Period for such Grant and the date the Eligible Employee ceases to be Employed or the Eligible Employee’s Disability Date, as the case may be, (rounded up to the nearest whole number of months); and







 



	
  

	
C

	
equals total number of months in the Performance Period relating to such Grant, 







 


together with any dividend equivalent PSUs relating to such Pro-Rated PSUs shall be eligible to become Vested PSUs subject to satisfaction or waiver by the Committee of the Performance Criteria relating to such Grant.

If this occurs a number of PSUs determined by the formula A x B/C, where







 



	
  

	
A

	
equals the total number of PSUs relating to such Grant;







 



	
  

	
B

	
equals the total number of months between the first day of the Performance Period for such Grant and the Termination Date (rounded up to the nearest whole number of months); and







 



	
  

	
C

	
equals total number of months in the Performance Period relating to such Grant,







 


shall become Vested PSUs on the applicable vesting date provided that, for the purpose of factor A, the total number of PSUs relating to such Grant shall be the number of PSUs credited to the Eligible Employee’s PSU Account as at the Grant Date in respect of such Grant, without giving effect to any potential increase or decrease in such number as a result of graduated Vesting conditions pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 4.2, together with any related dividend equivalent PSUs credited to the Eligible Employee’s PSU Account at the effective date of the Change in Control. PSUs that become Vested PSUs in connection with a Change in Control shall be settled by payment in cash, subject to payment or other satisfaction of all related withholding obligations in accordance with Section 9.2 and the terms of the applicable Grant Agreement, of an aggregate amount equal to the product of:


 


A           the Market Value on the effective date of the Change in Control,
