and Managers of Union Pacific Corporation and Affiliates (the “UPC SERP”) shall, for purposes of the UPC SERP, (i) be deemed to have accumulated an additional thirty-six (36) months of age and service credit beyond the Severance
Date solely for purposes of determining the amount of any UPC SERP benefit (but in no event beyond age 65 and in no event shall aggregate service under the UPC SERP exceed forty (40) years), and (ii) be deemed to be fully vested under such
SERP. 
 SECTION 2.3 For a period of three years following a Severed Employee’s Severance Date (or, if sooner, until such Severed Employee

(B) any Affiliate that on December 31, 2003 was a participating employer in the Flexible Benefits Program for Full-Time Salaried and Full-Time Hourly Employees of Union Pacific Corporation and Affiliates, is before January 1, 2004),
the Company shall provide such Severed Employee and anyone entitled to claim under or through such Severed Employee all benefits under any medical or dental program to the same extent as if such Severed Employee had continued to be an employee

and (b) the benefit amounts otherwise receivable by or in respect of a Severed Employee hereunder shall be reduced to the extent benefits of the same type are received by such Severed Employee from a subsequent employer (and the Severed

 SECTION 2.4 (a) Subject to Section 2.9 hereof, in the event an Eligible Employee incurs a Severance, the Eligible Employee shall become fully vested in all
outstanding Equity Awards that are, at the Severance Date, unvested or subject to forfeiture restrictions. In the case of an Equity Award consisting of a stock option, such option shall continue to be exercisable for a period of three years from the
Severance Date (or such longer period as may be prescribed in the plan or agreement governing such option), but in no event later than the expiration date of such option. In the case of an Equity Award consisting of restricted stock, the Company
shall make payment of such restricted stock within five (5) business days following lapse of any revocation period for the release contemplated by Section 2.9. 
 (b) In the case of an Equity Award (or any part thereof) that is a Stock Unit (as defined in the Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Stock Plan”)) granted to an Eligible Employee who
incurs a Severance under this Plan, such Stock Unit shall, subject to Section 2.9 and the final sentence of this paragraph (b) regarding deferrals, be paid within five (5) business days following lapse of any revocation period for the
release 

  

 6 

 
contemplated by Section 2.9. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that such a Severed Employee has attained Retirement Status (as defined below)
prior to the Exempt Date (as defined below), the Stock Unit shall not be paid prior to six months and one day after the Severance Date, subject to Section 2.9 and the final sentence of this paragraph (b) regarding deferrals.
“Retirement Status” means, for Eligible Employees who were granted Stock Unit Equity Awards in 2006 and/or 2007 under the Stock Plan, an individual who, during the Restriction Period for such Equity Award, attained age 60 with eligibility
for retirement under the provisions of the Company’s or a subsidiary’s pension plan (or who had attained such age and eligibility at the time the Stock Unit Equity Award was granted), and for Eligible Employees who were granted Stock Unit
Equity Awards in 2005, 2008, or any subsequent year under the Stock Plan, or any successor thereto adopted by the Company, an individual who, during the Restriction Period for such Equity Award, attained age 65 (or who had attained such age at the
time the Stock Unit Equity Award was granted). “Exempt Date” means January 1 of the calendar year in which the Restriction Period ends, or, in the case of a Restriction Period that ends such that payment would be made by March 15
of the calendar year in which such Restriction Period ends, January 1 of the preceding year. If a Severed Employee has previously elected to defer receipt of a Stock Unit to a date beyond the applicable payment date referenced herein, payment
of such Stock Unit will be made on the later of (A) the deferred payment date selected by the Severed Employee (which, for this purpose, will be the first deferred payment date selected by the Severed Employee in the event the Severed Employee
elected to receive installment payments) and (B) the date established in this subparagraph (b). 
 (c) The amount of any cash incentive
bonus awarded under any Company long-term incentive plan or program shall be calculated in accordance with the applicable plan document and paid, subject to Section 2.9, to an Eligible Employee who has a Severance within five (5) business
days following the lapse of any revocation period for the release contemplated by Section 2.9, or, in the event such cash incentive bonus is “deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code because the Eligible Employee
elected to defer payment of such bonus in accordance with the terms of a deferral program applicable to such bonus, at such other date as provided under the terms of the Eligible Employee’s payment election made in accordance with such deferral
program. 
 SECTION 2.5 (a) Whether or not the Eligible Employee becomes entitled to the Severance Payment, if any payment or benefit received or to
be received by the Eligible Employee in connection with a Change in Control or the Eligible Employee’s separation from service (whether pursuant to the terms of this Plan or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company, any Person
whose actions result in a Change in Control or any Person affiliated with the Company or such Person) (all such payments and benefits, including the Severance Payment, being hereinafter called “Total Payments”) will be subject (in whole or
part) to the Excise Tax, then, subject to the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section 2.5, the Company shall pay to the Eligible Employee an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) such that the net amount retained by the
Eligible Employee, after deduction of any Excise Tax on the Total Payments and any federal, state and local income and employment taxes and Excise Tax upon the Gross-Up Payment, shall be equal to the Total Payments. For purposes of determining the
amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Eligible Employee shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation in the calendar year 

  

 7 

 
in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of the
Eligible Employee’s residence on the Severance Date (or if there is no Severance Date, then the date on which the Gross-Up Payment is calculated for purposes of this Section 2.5), net of the maximum reduction in federal income tax which
could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes. 
 (b) In the event that the amount of the Total Payments exceeds 100% of,
but does not exceed 110% of, the largest amount that would result in no portion of the Total Payments being subject to the Excise Tax (the “Safe Harbor”), then subsection (a) of this Section 2.5 shall not apply and the Severance
Payments under Section 2.1 shall be reduced (if necessary, to zero) so that the amount of the Total Payments is equal to the Safe Harbor. 
 (c) For purposes of determining whether any of the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, (i) all of the Total Payments shall be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning
of section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, unless in the opinion of tax counsel (“Tax Counsel”) reasonably acceptable to the Eligible Employee and selected by the accounting firm which was, immediately prior to the Change in Control, the
Company’s independent auditor (the “Auditor”), such other payments or benefits (in whole or in part) do not constitute parachute payments, including by reason of section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code, (ii) all “excess parachute
payments” within the meaning of section 280G(b)(l) of the Code shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax unless, in the opinion of Tax Counsel, such excess parachute payments (in whole or in part) represent “reasonable compensation for
services actually rendered”, within the meaning of section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, in excess of the “base amount” within meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code allocable to such reasonable compensation, or are otherwise not
subject to the Excise Tax, and (iii) the value of any noncash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Auditor in accordance with the principles of sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code. Prior to the payment
date set forth in Section 2.6 hereof, the Company shall provide the Eligible Employee with its calculation of the amounts referred to in this Section 2.5(c) and such supporting materials as are reasonably necessary for the Eligible
Employee to evaluate the Company’s calculations. If the Eligible Employee disputes the Company’s calculations (in whole or in part), the reasonable opinion of Tax Counsel with respect to the matter in dispute shall prevail. 
 (d) In the event that the Excise Tax is finally determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder in calculating the Gross-Up Payment,
and after giving effect to such redetermination, the Severance Payment under Section 2.1 are to be reduced pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 2.5, the Eligible Employee shall repay to the Company, within five (5) business
days following the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to such reduction (plus that portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax and federal,
state and local income and employment taxes imposed on the Gross-Up Payment being repaid by the Eligible Employee), to the extent that such repayment results in (i) no portion of the Total Payments being subject to the Excise Tax and
(ii) a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the Eligible Employee’s taxable income and wages for purposes of federal, state and local income and employment taxes, plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in section
1274(b)(2)(b) of the Code. In the event that (x) the Excise Tax is finally determined to exceed the amount taken into 

  

 8 

 
account hereunder at the time of the Eligible Employee’s separation from service (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which
cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-Up Payment) and (y) after giving effect to such redetermination, the Severance Payment under Section 2.1 should not have been reduced pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 2.5,
the Company shall make the previously reduced Severance Payment and shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in respect of such excess and in respect of any portion of the Excise Tax with respect to which the Company had not previously made a
Gross-Up Payment (plus any interest, penalties or additions payable by the Eligible Employee with respect to such excess and such portion) within five (5) business days following the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined;
provided, however, that such final determination shall be made such that any such additional Gross-Up Payment can be made by the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Employee pays the Excise Tax to which the Gross-Up
Payment relates. 
 SECTION 2.6 The payments provided in subsection (a) of Section 2.5 hereof shall be made not later than the fifth
business day following the date of the event that triggers the Severed Employee’s right to the benefit that generates the Excise Tax; provided, however, that if the amounts of such payments, and the limitations on such payments
set forth in Section 2.5 hereof, cannot be finally determined on or before such day, the Company shall pay to the Eligible Employee on such day an estimate of the minimum amount of such payments to which the Eligible Employee is clearly
entitled and shall pay the remainder of such payments (together with interest on the unpaid remainder (or on all such payments to the extent the Company fails to make such payments when due) at the rate provided in section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code)
as soon as the amount thereof can be determined but in no event later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the date of the event that triggers the Severed Employee’s right to the benefit that generates the Excise Tax. 
 SECTION 2.7 The Company shall reimburse the Eligible Employee for all reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by the Eligible Employee in seeking to obtain or
enforce any benefit or right provided by this Plan, so long as the Eligible Employee’s claim is not frivolous. The Company shall reimburse the Eligible Employee for all reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by the Eligible Employee in
connection with any tax audit or proceeding to the extent attributable to the application of section 4999 of the Code to any payment or benefit provided hereunder. Reimbursement of such fees and expenses shall be subject to the following
restrictions: (i) the amount of fees and expenses eligible for reimbursement during any calendar year shall not affect the fees and expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year; (ii) the reimbursement of an eligible fee
or expense shall be made as soon as practicable by the Company after the Eligible Employee submits the request for reimbursement including appropriate documentation, but not later than December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar
year in which the fee or expense was incurred and (iii) the Company’s obligation to reimburse such fees and expenses is not subject to the liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 
 SECTION 2.8 In the event of a claim for benefits hereunder by an Eligible Employee, such Eligible Employee shall present the reason for his or her claim in
writing to the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such written 

  

 9 

 
claim, send a written notification to the Eligible Employee as to its disposition. In the event the claim is wholly or partially denied, such written
notification shall (a) state the specific reason or reasons for the denial, (b) make specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based, (c) provide a description of any additional material or information
necessary for the Eligible Employee to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and (d) set forth the procedure by which the Eligible Employee may appeal the denial of his or her claim. In the event
an Eligible Employee wishes to appeal the denial of his or her claim, he or she may request a review of such denial by making application in writing to the Plan Administrator within sixty (60) days after receipt of such denial. Such Eligible
Employee (or his or her duly authorized legal representative) may, upon written request to the Plan Administrator, review any documents pertinent to his or her claim, and submit in writing, issues and comments in support of his or her position.
Within forty-five (45) days after receipt of a written appeal (unless special circumstances, such as the need to hold a hearing, require an extension of time, but in no event more than one hundred twenty (120) days after such receipt), the
Plan Administrator shall notify the Eligible Employee of the final decision. The final decision shall be in writing and shall include specific reasons for the decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, and specific
references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based. 
 SECTION 2.9 No Severed Employee shall be eligible to receive a
Severance Payment or other benefits under the Plan that are subject to this Section 2.9 unless he or she first executes a written release substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule A. Payments made under this Plan that are contingent
on the Severed Employee’s execution of the release shall in all events be paid no later than two and one-half months following the end of the calendar year in which the Severance Date, or other triggering event for the payment, occurs. In order
to ensure compliance with the foregoing, the Company shall provide the release described in this Section 2.9 to the Severed Employee in sufficient time so that the Severed Employee can consider the release for the full consideration period
required by applicable law, and have the ability to revoke such release during the revocation period(s) required by applicable law, before payment is made by the deadline of two and one-half months following the end of the calendar year in which the
Severance Date or other triggering event occurs. Further, with respect to any benefits under the Plan that are “deferred compensation” under section 409A of the Code, no payment 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 Affiliates) on account of a separation from service until six months plus
one day following such employee’s “separation from service” as defined in the regulations promulgated under section 409A of the Code. 
 SECTION 2.10 An Employer shall be entitled to withhold from amounts to be paid to the Severed Employee hereunder any federal, state or local withholding or other taxes or charges which it is from time to time required to withhold.

 SECTION 3.2 The Plan Administrator may delegate any of its duties hereunder to such person or persons from time to time as it may designate. 
 SECTION 3.3 The Plan Administrator is empowered, on behalf of the Plan, to engage accountants, legal counsel and such other personnel as it deems necessary or advisable to assist it in the performance of its
duties under the Plan. The functions of any such persons engaged by the Plan Administrator shall be limited to the specified services and duties for which they are engaged, and such persons shall have no other duties, obligations or responsibilities
under the Plan. Such persons shall exercise no discretionary authority or discretionary control respecting the management of the Plan. All reasonable expenses thereof shall be borne by the Employer. 
 SECTION 4. PLAN MODIFICATION OR TERMINATION. 
 The Plan may be amended or terminated by the Board at any time; provided, however, that, during the following periods, the Plan may not be terminated nor may the Plan be amended in any manner adverse to the interests of any
Eligible Employee (including, without limitation, any adverse changes to a person’s status as an Eligible Employee) without such Eligible Employee’s written consent (and any such termination or amendment shall be void and of no force and
effect): (i) within one year preceding a Potential Change in Control (in the case of any action (other than in connection with a separation from service) pursuant to which an individual ceases to be designated as an Eligible Employee or is
designated in a lower tier of Eligible Employee) or within 90 days preceding a Potential Change in Control (in the case of termination of the Plan or any other amendment which is adverse to the interests of any Eligible Employee), (ii) during
the pendency of or within 90 days following the cessation of a Potential Change in Control or (iii) within two years following a Change in Control. This Plan shall terminate automatically two years and one day after a Change in Control. No Plan
termination shall, without such Eligible Employee’s written consent, adversely affect any rights of any Eligible Employee which accrued under this Plan prior to such termination.

interest of any Eligible Employee under the Plan shall be assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, either directly or by operation of law or otherwise, including without limitation by execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge or in
any manner; no attempted assignment or transfer thereof shall be effective; and no right or interest of any Eligible Employee under the Plan shall be liable for, or subject to, any obligation or liability of such Eligible Employee. When a payment is

otherwise control.

 142006 Long Term Plan Amended & Restated Stock Unit Agreement

 Exhibit 10(o) 
 2006 LONG TERM PLAN 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT 
 Dated: January 26, 2006 
 This Letter
Agreement (the “Agreement”) will confirm an award to you of stock units (“Stock Units”), as of the date hereof, by Union Pacific Corporation (the “Company”), under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan of the Company, as
amended from time to time (the “Plan”), a copy of which is included in this database and made a part hereof. This Agreement has been amended and restated by the Company in accordance with Section 19 of the Plan, effective as of
January 1, 2009, to reflect the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”). 
 STOCK UNITS 
 1. GRANT OF UNITS. The Company hereby awards to you the number of Stock Units, as shown
on Exhibit A of this Agreement, each evidencing the right to receive, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, (i) one share of Union Pacific Corporation Common Stock, $2.50 par value per share
(“Common Stock”) and (ii) a payment in cash equal to the amount of dividends that would have been payable on one share of Common Stock (“Dividend Equivalent Payments”), provided the applicable Performance Criteria described
below have been satisfied. 
 2. RESTRICTION PERIOD. The period during which the restrictions set forth herein and in the Plan
shall apply to your right to receive the Stock Units granted to you shall commence on the date hereof and expire on January 31, 2009 if the Performance Criteria described below for such Stock Units have been satisfied (the “Restriction
Period”), subject to the provisions of Section 6 hereof. During the Restriction Period, you may be entitled to receive Dividend Equivalent Payments, subject to the provisions of Section 4 hereof. 
 3. PERFORMANCE CRITERIA. The Performance Criteria is annual Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”). However, such Performance
Criteria are of no force and effect unless and until the Company has operating income (“Operating Income”) in one or more of fiscal years 2006, 2007 or 2008. The definition and calculation of annual ROIC and Operating Income shall be
determined in accordance with the Long Term Plan document approved and adopted by the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”). 
 For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006, you may earn up to one-third of your Stock Unit Target Award as shown on Exhibit A for those Stock
Units which have met the 

 
applicable ROIC Performance Criteria. For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, you may earn up to a total of two-thirds of your Stock Unit Target
Award as shown on Exhibit A based on the average of the first two fiscal years of ROIC performance achieved less any Stock Units earned in the first fiscal year. For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, you may earn up to two hundred
percent of your Stock Unit Target Award as shown on Exhibit A based on the average of all three fiscal years (2006, 2007, and 2008) of ROIC performance achieved less any Stock Units earned in the first two fiscal years. 
 4. DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT RIGHTS. During the Restriction Period, for those Stock Units which have met the applicable Performance Criteria,
unless otherwise determined by the Committee, you shall be entitled to receive Dividend Equivalent Payments. Once such Stock Units are earned, Dividend Equivalent Payments shall be made on the payment date established by the Board of Directors for
the underlying dividend payments; provided, however, that if you have elected to defer receipt of such Stock Units in accordance with the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan of Union Pacific Corporation (the “Deferred Compensation
Plan”), payment of such Dividend Equivalent Payments shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 of the Plan. 
 5. RESTRICTIONS. (i) You shall be entitled to delivery of the shares of Common Stock only as specified in Section 6 hereof; (ii) none of the Stock Units may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or otherwise
encumbered or disposed of; (iii) your right to receive Dividend Equivalent Payments shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company at the earlier of your separation from service with the Company or a Subsidiary (as
defined in the Plan), or your right to receive Common Stock under Section 6 hereof; (iv) all of the Stock Units shall be forfeited and all of your rights to such Stock Units and the right to receive Common Stock shall terminate without
further obligation on the part of the Company in the event of your separation from service with the Company or a Subsidiary without having a right to delivery of shares of Common Stock under Section 6 hereof and (v) any Stock Units not
earned as of the end of the Restriction Period shall be forfeited and all of your rights to such Stock Units shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company. 
 6. LAPSE OF RESTRICTIONS AND PAYMENT OF STOCK UNITS. (i) At the end of the Restriction Period and provided you have remained
continuously employed by the Company or a Subsidiary, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Stock Units which have met the applicable Performance Criteria shall be delivered to you (through your
account at the Company’s third party stock plan administrator, if applicable) free of all restrictions, provided the Company has Operating Income in one or more of the fiscal years 2006, 2007 or 2008. The payment of the Stock Units under this
Section 6(i) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 9(f) of the Plan. 
  

 2 

 (ii) (A) If you have a separation from service with the Company or a Subsidiary prior to the end of
the Restriction Period and prior to a Change in Control because you die or become disabled (as determined under the provisions of the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s long-term disability plan), unless otherwise determined by the Committee,
you, your estate or your beneficiary, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Stock Units which have met the applicable Performance Criteria through the end of the fiscal year ending prior to
the date of your death or disability, as the case may be, provided the Company has Operating Income in one or more of the fiscal years 2006, 2007 or 2008 and further provided that such fiscal year precedes the date of your death or disability. The
payment of the Stock Units under this Section 6(ii)(A) shall be made in accordance with the payment provisions of Section 9(c) of the Plan, subject, to the extent applicable, to Section 6(v) of this Agreement.
(B) Section 9(e)(i) of the Plan pertaining to the vesting of Stock Units upon retirement at or after actual age 65 shall not be applicable. However, if you remain continuously employed and retire at or after actual age 60 under the
provisions of the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s pension plan, you shall be entitled to receive the number of Stock Units which have met the applicable Performance Criteria through the end of the fiscal year ending prior to the date of your
retirement, provided the Company has Operating Income in one or more of the fiscal years 2006, 2007 or 2008 and further provided that such fiscal year precedes the date of your retirement. The payment of the Stock Units under this
Section 6(ii)(B) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 9(f) of the Plan. 
 (iii) If a Change in Control
occurs prior to the end of the Restriction Period and prior to your death, disability or having retired after attaining Retirement Status (as defined in Section 2 of the Plan with respect to Stock Units granted in 2006), shares of Common Stock
equal to the number of Stock Units that would have been deliverable if the Performance Criteria shall have been satisfied at the greater of one hundred percent of your Stock Unit Target Award as shown on Exhibit A or the number of Stock Units that
would have been delivered based on the Performance Criteria satisfied through the end of each fiscal year prior to the occurrence of such Change in Control and through the end of the most recent fiscal quarter ending prior to the date of the Change
in Control shall be delivered to you (through your account at the Company’s third party administrator, if applicable) free of all restrictions, provided the Company has Operating Income in one or more of the calendar years 2006, 2007 or 2008
and further provided that any such calendar year precedes the date of the Change in Control. In either event following the Change in Control no greater Performance Criteria may be earned under this Agreement. Shares of Common Stock to which you are
entitled pursuant to this Section 6(iii) shall be delivered to you in accordance with the payment provisions set forth in Section 9(d) of the Plan, subject, to the extent applicable, to Section 6(v) of this Agreement. 
  

 3 

 (iv) If you have a separation from service with the Company or a Subsidiary for any other reason, with or
without cause, prior to the earlier of the end of the Restriction Period or a Change in Control, you will forfeit all Stock Units and all of your rights to such Stock Units shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company.

 (v) You may elect to defer receipt of payment of shares underlying the Stock Units pursuant to the terms of, and in accordance with the
provisions of, the Deferred Compensation Plan. If you do so elect to defer payment of shares underlying the Stock Units, such payments will be made in accordance with the Deferred Compensation Plan. 
 7. WITHHOLDING. Upon payment of the Stock Units, you must arrange for the payment to the Company (through the Company’s third party
stock plan administrator, if applicable) of all applicable withholding taxes resulting therefrom promptly after notification of the amount thereof. You may elect to have shares withheld to pay withholding taxes if a proper election to pay
withholding taxes in this manner is made. 
 8. SUBJECT TO PLAN. The award confirmed by this Agreement is subject to the terms
and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time in accordance with Section 19 thereof. 
 PROTECTION OF
CONFIDENTIALITY 
 9. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION; TRADE SECRETS. By electronically signing Exhibit A to this Agreement,
you acknowledge that the Company regards certain information relating to its business and operations as confidential. This includes all information that the Company could reasonably be expected to keep confidential and whose disclosure to third
parties would likely be disparaging or detrimental to the Company (“Confidential Information”). Your electronic signature also acknowledges that the Company has certain information that derives economic value from not being known to the
general public or to others who could obtain economic value from its disclosure or use, which the Company takes reasonable efforts to protect the secrecy of (“Trade Secrets”). 
 10. TYPES OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OR TRADE SECRETS. By electronically signing Exhibit A, you acknowledge that you developed or have had
or will have access to one or more of the following types of Confidential Information or Trade Secrets: information about rates or costs; customer or supplier agreements and negotiations; business opportunities; scheduling and delivery methods;
business and marketing plans; financial information or plans; communications within the attorney-client privilege or other privileges; operating procedures and methods; construction methods and plans; proprietary computer systems design, programming
or software; strategic plans; succession plans; proprietary company training programs; employee performance, compensation or benefits; negotiations or strategies relating to collective bargaining agreements and/or labor disputes; and internal or

  

 4 

 
external claims or complaints regarding personal injuries, employment laws or policies, environmental protection, or hazardous materials. By electronically
signing Exhibit A, you agree that any disclosures by you to any third party of such Confidential Information or Trade Secrets would constitute gross misconduct within the meaning of the Plan. 
 11. PRIOR CONSENT REQUIRED. By electronically signing Exhibit A, you agree that you will not, unless you receive prior consent from the
Company’s Senior Vice President, Human Resources & Secretary or such other person designated by the Company (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Sr. VP-HR & S”), or unless ordered by a court or government
agency, (i) disclose to any subsequent employer or unauthorized person any Confidential Information or Trade Secrets, or (ii) retain or take with you when you leave the Company any property of the Company or any documents (including any
electronic or computer records) relating to any Confidential Information or Trade Secrets. 
 12. PRIOR NOTICE OF EMPLOYMENT,
ETC. By electronically signing Exhibit A, you acknowledge that if you become an employee, contractor, or consultant for any other railroad, this would create a substantial risk that you would, intentionally or unintentionally, disclose or
rely upon the Company’s Confidential Information or Trade Secrets for the benefit of the other railroad to the detriment of the Company. You further acknowledge that such disclosures would be particularly damaging if made shortly after you
leave the Company. Therefore, by electronically signing Exhibit A, you agree that for a period of one-year after you leave the Company, before accepting any employment or affiliation with another railroad you will give written notice to the Sr.
VP-HR & S of your intention to accept such employment or affiliation. You also agree to confer in good faith with the Sr. VP-HR & S concerning whether your proposed employment or affiliation could reasonably be expected to be
performed without improper disclosure of Confidential Information or Trade Secrets. If the Sr. VP-HR & S and you are unable to reach agreement on this issue, you agree to submit this issue to arbitration, to be conducted under the rules of
the American Arbitration Association, for final resolution. You also agree that you will not begin to work for another railroad until the Sr. VP-HR & S or an arbitrator has determined that such employment could reasonably be expected to be
performed without improper disclosure of the Company’s Confidential Information or Trade Secrets. 
 13. FAILURE TO
COMPLY. By electronically signing Exhibit A, you agree that, if you fail to comply with any of the promises that you made in Section 11 or 12 above, you will return to the Company any shares of Common Stock (or the market value of any
shares of Common Stock received) which you received at any time from 180 days prior to the earlier of (i) the date when you leave the Company or (ii) the date you fail to comply with any such promise you made in Section 11 or 12 to
180 days after the date when the Company learns that you have 

  

 5 

 
not complied with any such promise. You agree that you will return such shares of Common Stock to the Company on such terms and conditions as may be required
by the Company. You further agree that the Company will be entitled to set off the market value of any such shares of Common Stock against any amount that might be owed to you by the Company. 
 NO DIRECT COMPETITION 
 14. SOLICITATION OF CUSTOMERS; NO
EMPLOYMENT WITH WESTERN ROADS. By electronically signing Exhibit A, you agree for a period of one year following your departure from the Company, you will not (directly or in association with others) call on or solicit the business of any of
the Company’s customers with whom you actually did business or otherwise had personal contact while you were employed by the Company, for the purpose of providing the customers with goods and/or services similar in nature to those provided by
the Company in the states in which the Company now operates. You further agree that for the same time period, you will not become an employee, contractor or consultant for any of the following companies, which compete directly with the Company:
Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation; Kansas City Southern Industries, Inc.; Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railway Company; Illinois Central Corporation; and Texas Mexican Railway Company (including their respective affiliates and
subsidiaries or any company which acquires or is acquired by any such company) (the “Western Roads”). This Section 14 is not intended to prevent you from working for any employer other than a Western Road. This Section does not apply
to employees who work in California at the time when this Agreement is electronically signed or when their employment with the Company ends. 
 15. ACKNOWLEDGMENT; INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. By electronically signing Exhibit A, you acknowledge that Section 14 will not prevent you from being gainfully employed after you leave the Company, because you will remain free to
work in any occupation, profession, trade, or business so long as you comply with your promises in Section 14. You also agree that because money damages would not be adequate to compensate the Company if you violate any of your promises in
Section 14, the Company would be entitled to an injunction from a Court to enforce those promises. 
 16. VIOLATION OF
PROMISES. By electronically signing Exhibit A, you agree that if you violate any of your promises in Section 14, then you will return to the Company any shares of Common Stock (or the fair market value thereof) granted to you by this
Agreement which you received at any time from 180 days prior to the date when you leave the Company to 180 days after the date when the Company learns that you have not complied with the promises you made in Section 14. You agree that you will
return such shares of Common Stock (or the fair market value thereof) to the Company on such terms and conditions as may be required by the Company. You further agree that the Company will be entitled to set off the market value of 

  

 6 

 
any such shares of Common Stock against any amount that might be owed to you by the Company. 
 GENERAL 
 17. RESTATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL RESULTS. By
electronically signing Exhibit A, you agree that you will return such shares of Common Stock (or the fair market value thereof) to the Company as determined by the Committee in its exclusive discretion, which shall be final, conclusive and binding
upon the Company and you. The Committee will exercise its discretion only in the event that the Committee’s certification of a level of ROIC was based on financial results subsequently revised by a restatement of such financial results and only
to the extent that such restated financial results would have entitled you to a lesser award of Common Stock under the Performance Criteria. 
 18. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is, becomes, or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended or limited in scope to conform to
applicable laws or, in the discretion of the Company, it shall be stricken and the remainder of the Agreement shall remain in force and effect. 
 19. CHOICE OF LAW. All questions pertaining to the construction, regulation, validity, and effect of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah, without regard to the conflict of laws
doctrine. 
 20. EMPLOYMENT AT WILL. In accordance with Section 21(a) of the Plan, this Agreement shall not be construed
to confer upon any person any right to be continued in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary. 
 21. DEFINED TERMS. For
purposes of this Agreement, capitalized terms shall have the meanings specified in the Plan, unless a different meaning is provided in this Agreement or a different meaning is plainly required by the context.
