RETIREMENT PLAN FOR MANAGEMENT EMPLOYEES OF

BREWSTER INC.

FOREWORD

Effective April 15, 1982, the Canadian Greyhound Employees Retirement Income Plan was amended to
provide for the participation of designated Employees of Brewster Transport Company Limited.

Effective May 31, 1996 those designated Employees of Brewster Transport Company Limited who were
Members of the Canadian Greyhound Employees Retirement Income Plan (the “Prior Plan”) terminated
membership in said plan and became Members of the Retirement Plan for Management Employees of
Brewster Transport Company Limited, effective June 1, 1996.

For the purpose of determining the eligibility and the amount of benefits under the Retirement Plan
for Management Employees of Brewster Transport Company Limited (the “Plan”), Continuous Service and
Credited Service under the Prior Plan shall be recognized. In no event will benefits accrued to
May 31, 1996 with respect to membership in the Prior Plan be less under this Plan.

Appropriate assets with respect to benefits accrued prior to May 31, 1996, as determined by an
Actuary and approved by government regulatory authorities, were transferred from the pension Fund
of the Prior Plan to the pension fund of this Plan.

The Plan has been amended from time to time thereafter and effective January 1, 2000 it was amended
and restated to allow Members to make money purchase contributions for the purpose of enhancing
their benefits under the Plan and to reflect the merger of The Pension Plan for the Employees of
Banff Lifts Ltd. (the “Banff Lifts Plan”) into the Plan. The benefits for members of the Banff
Lifts Plan for service to December 31, 1999 will be determined pursuant to the terms of the Banff
Lifts Plan as it read on December 31, 1999 and the benefits of the members for service after
December 31, 1999 will be based on the provisions of this Plan. The terms of the Banff Lifts Plan
on December 31, 1999 are attached as Appendix A.

Effective February 1, 2000, Banff Lifts Ltd. amalgamated with Cascade Holdings (Banff) Inc. to form
Brewster Inc. Effective on that date, employees of Banff Lifts Ltd. became employees of Banff
Sulphur Mountain Gondola an operating division of Brewster Inc.

The Plan is hereby amended and restated effective January 1, 2010, to incorporate prior amendments
and to close the Plan to new members. Any employee hired by the Company on or after January 1,
2010, will not become a Member of the Plan.

Except as otherwise required by applicable legislation, the rights and entitlements of any Member
who retired, died or otherwise terminated employment before January 1, 2010 shall be governed by
the terms of the Plan as in effect at the date of termination of employment.

The Plan, as contained herein, is subject to continued registration with Canada Revenue Agency, so
that the Company is entitled to deduct its contributions as expenses under the Income Tax Act or
any other applicable tax laws, and with Alberta Finance and Enterprise.

	 	 	Part A: Member Transfers Money Purchase Account outside Plan
	 
	 	 	If a Member has a Money Purchase Account and elects to transfer that Money Purchase Account
out of the Pension Fund pursuant to Section 6.05 or 7.05, then the Member shall be credited
with an Ancillary Value equal to:

	 	(a)	 	the value Y determined pursuant to Section 5.02;

	 	 	MINUS

	 	(b)	 	the annual Defined Benefit Pension determined pursuant to Section 5.03 after
the offset provided under Section 5.03(b), multiplied by the factor Z determined
pursuant to Section 5.02.

	 	 	The Member may elect to allocate his Ancillary Value to provide one or more of the following
enhancements to his Defined Benefit Pension by completing and filing an election form in the
manner prescribed by the Company:

	 	(c)	 	If the Member’s pension would be subject to a reduction for early retirement

form is waived pursuant to Section 8.06, then the Member’s pension may be guaranteed
pursuant to Section 8.02 but the guarantee period shall not exceed 180 months. If the
Member does have a Spouse, the benefit may be paid in the form of a joint and
two-thirds survivor pension pursuant to Section 8.05 which is unreduced or reduced on a
less than actuarial basis and which may include a guarantee of 60 months.
	 
	 	(e)	 	The Member’s pension and any bridging benefits may be granted indexing pursuant
to the provisions of Article 11.
	 
	 	(f)	 	The Member may elect to receive a bridging benefit payable from his Early
Retirement Date pursuant to Section 6.03, but subject to the limits imposed by Article
10.

	 	 	The Member must complete and file such election with the Company no later than the date of
pension commencement chosen by the Member or the Member shall be deemed to have elected to
allocate his Ancillary Value to each of (c), (d), (e) and (f) above in turn in descending
order. If the Ancillary Value is not exhausted by one item the balance of the Ancillary
Value shall be allocated to each subsequent item in turn until the Ancillary Value is
exhausted or until the maximum allocation has occurred under all of (c), (d), (e) and (f).

	 	(b)	 	the following provisions of Part B of this Section shall apply to that Member.

	 	 	The Member may elect to allocate his Ancillary Value to provide one or more of the following
enhancements to his Defined Benefit Pension by completing and filing an election form in the

	 	(c)	 	If the Member’s pension would be subject to a reduction for early retirement

	6.01	 	Normal Retirement Pension
	 
	 	 	A Member who retires on his Normal Retirement Date shall receive a
retirement pension calculated pursuant to Section 5.01, 5.02, 5.03
and 5.04 based on the Member’s Credited Service and Highest Average
Earnings on his Normal Retirement Date and the value of his Money
Purchase Account at that time.
	 
	 	 	In addition, if the Member is a Banff Lifts Member he shall receive
his Banff Lifts Pension calculated pursuant to Section 5.05.
	 
	6.02	 	Early Retirement Pension
	 
	 	 	A Member who retires on his Early Retirement Date shall receive a

Average Earnings on his Early Retirement Date and the value of his
Money Purchase Account at that time, and calculated according to the
following procedure:

	 	(a)	 	The Member’s MP Factor shall be calculated by reference to Section 5.02 except
that the formula for the MP Factor shall be modified to read as:

(X + YE) Z

     Y

	 	 	 	 	 
	where	 	X, Y and Z are determined pursuant to Section 5.02; and
	 
	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	YE equals:
	 	the Commuted Value of the benefits
payable commencing on the Member’s
Early Retirement Date, determined
as if payable as a Defined Benefit
Pension without the offset
provided under Section 5.03(b),
payable in the normal form under
Section 8.01, or the joint and
survivor form required pursuant to
Section 8.04 if applicable, and
without any indexing under Article
11, and after reduction pursuant
to the reduction factor specified
in Section 6.02(c),

	 	 	 	provided that such MP Factor shall not exceed the Present Value Factor of a lifetime
pension with the maximum level of ancillary benefits offered under Section 5.04
(including any applicable bridging benefits), reflecting the limitations contained
in Section 6.02(e), 6.06, 8.02, 8.05, Article 10 and Section 11.01.
	 
	 	 	 	The Member’s Money Purchase Pension offset pursuant to Section 5.02 shall then be

	 	(i)	 	if the Member elects to transfer his Money Purchase Account out
of the Pension Fund pursuant to Section 6.05, then the offset under Section
5.03(b) shall be based on the amount calculated under Section 6.02(a); and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	if the Member does not elect to transfer his Money Purchase
Account out of the Pension Fund pursuant to Section 6.05, then the transfer
from the Member’s Money Purchase Account to the Defined Benefit Account
described in Section 5.03(e) shall occur and, subject to Section 5.03(c) and
(d), the Money Purchase Pension offset under Section 5.03(b) shall not apply.

	 	(c)	 	The Member’s Defined Benefit Pension calculated under (b) above shall then be
reduced by five-twelfths of one percent (5/12%) for each month that his Early
Retirement Date precedes the first day of the month following his 60th birthday subject
to the minimum reduction required under the Income Tax Rules.
	 
	 	(d)	 	The Member’s Ancillary Value shall be determined as:

	 	(i)	 	if the conditions in subsection (b)(i) apply:

Section 5.03(e).

	 	(e)	 	Notwithstanding (c) above, if the Member elects (or is deemed to elect) to
apply all or part of his Ancillary Value pursuant to subsection (c) of either Part A or
Part B of Section 5.04 to lessen the early retirement reduction applicable to his
Defined Benefit Pension, then the early retirement reduction otherwise applicable shall
be lessened to the extent selected by the Member subject to the following conditions:
(i) the Commuted Value of the diminishment of the early retirement reduction shall
equal the Ancillary Value allocated pursuant to that subsection (c); and (ii) the
Defined Benefit Pension must be reduced by at least 0.25% for each month that the
Member’s Early Retirement Date precedes the earliest of:

	 	(i)	 	the date the Member would attain age 60;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the date the age and early retirement eligibility service of
the Member would total 80 years; and
	 
	 	(iii)	 	the date the Member would accrue 30 years of early retirement
eligibility service;

under the defined benefit provisions of the Plan. The amount of such bridging benefit
shall be selected by the Member subject to the condition that the Commuted Value of the
bridging benefit shall equal the Ancillary Value allocated pursuant to that subsection.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The bridging benefits determined pursuant to subsection (a) shall be payable
commencing no earlier than the Member’s Early Retirement Date and shall cease with the
payment for the month in which the Member dies or attains age 65, whichever occurs
earlier. However, the bridging benefit may continue to the payment for the month in
which the Member would have attained age 65 if the Member elects to apply Ancillary
Value to secure such a survivor option for the bridging benefit.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The bridging benefits payable under this Section 6.03 are subject to the
limitations contained in Article 10.

	6.04	 	Postponed Retirement Pension

	7.02	 	Deferred Pension
	 
	 	 	If an Active Member or Disabled Member breaks Continuous Service for
any reason other than death or retirement after completing two years
of Continuous Service the Member shall become a Deferred Member and
shall be entitled to receive a deferred pension commencing on the
Member’s Normal Retirement Date. Such deferred pension shall be
calculated and determined by reference to Article 5 at the time that

	7.03	 	Early Commencement
	 
	 	 	A Deferred Member may elect to begin receiving his deferred pension on the first day of any
month after he will attain age 50. A Deferred Member who wishes to begin receiving his
deferred pension prior to his Normal Retirement Date must apply, in writing, to the Company,
at least 60 days prior to the date when the Deferred Member wishes payment of the pension to
commence.
	 
	 	 	The Member’s Defined Benefit Pension shall be actuarially reduced to reflect commencement
prior to Normal Retirement Date except as modified by any allocation pursuant to subsection
(c) of either Part A or Part B of Section 5.04. However, if the Deferred Member had
attained age 50 before he broke Continuous Service, then the amount of any reduction to his
Defined Benefit Pension for early commencement shall be determined pursuant to Section
6.02(c) as if the Deferred Member was retiring early (based on his Credited Service and
Highest Average Earnings at the date the Member breaks Continuous Service and the value of
his Money Purchase Account on the date of pension commencement), as modified by any
allocation pursuant to subsection (c) of either Part A or Part B of Section 5.04. The
redetermination of the Member’s Defined Benefit Pension and the transfer of his Money
Purchase Account to the Defined Benefit Account pursuant to Section 5.03(c), (d) and (e)
shall occur as of the date chosen for pension commencement. The Deferred Member who elects
to commence his deferred pension early must allocate his Ancillary Value calculated pursuant
to Section 6.02 in accordance with Section 5.04 by the time his pension is to commence or he
shall be deemed to allocate his Ancillary Value pursuant to the default provisions of
Section 5.04.
	 
	 	 	A Member who elects to commence his deferred pension prior to his Normal Retirement Date
will also receive any bridging benefit which he has elected to receive or is deemed to elect
pursuant to subsection (f) of either Part A or Part B of Section 5.04.

ARTICLE 8

NORMAL AND OPTIONAL FORMS OF PENSION

	8.01	 	Normal Form of Pension
	 
	 	 	Subject to the other provisions of this Article:

	 	(a)	 	a Member’s annual pension shall be payable in equal monthly instalments for the
lifetime of the Member beginning on the Member’s retirement date and ending with the
payment immediately preceding his death, and
	 
	 	(b)	 	a Member’s Banff Lifts Pension shall be payable pursuant to the applicable
terms of Appendix A regarding normal forms.

	8.02	 	Enhanced Form of Pension
	 
	 	 	Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.01, if a Member elects
(or is deemed to elect) to apply all or part of his Ancillary Value
pursuant to subsection (d) of either Part A or Part B of Section 5.04
to provide a form of guarantee then the Member’s Defined Benefit
Pension shall be guaranteed for a number of months. The length of
the guarantee shall be determined so that the Commuted Value of the
Defined Benefit Pension with the guarantee is equal to the Commuted
Value of the Defined Benefit Pension payable without a guarantee plus
the Ancillary Value allocated to provide the guarantee. The
guarantee period shall be measured in whole months and the total
period guaranteed under this Article 8 shall not exceed 180 months.
	 
	8.03	 	Commutation of Guarantee
	 
	 	 	If a Member dies before the guaranteed number of payments have been
made, the monthly instalments shall then be paid to the Member’s
Beneficiary until the guaranteed number of payments have been
completed. Alternatively, if the Beneficiary elects, the Company
may, at its discretion, commute the remaining payments and pay the
Commuted Value of such remaining payments to the Member’s Beneficiary
in a lump sum in satisfaction of the guarantee.
	 
	8.04	 	Mandatory Joint and Survivor Form of Pension
	 
	 	 	Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Article 8, if a
Member has a Spouse on the date that payment of the Member’s pension
commences then the amount of the Member’s Defined Benefit Pension
shall be reduced and paid in the form of a joint and 60% survivor
pension without guarantee. This joint and survivor pension shall be
payable in equal monthly installments for the Member’s lifetime and
after the Member’s death, the pension shall continue to be paid to
the Member’s Spouse for the Spouse’s remaining lifetime, in equal
monthly installments, equal to sixty percent (60%) of the amount of
the monthly installment that was paid to the Member immediately prior
to his death. The joint and survivor pension shall be the Actuarial
Equivalent of the normal form of pension which would otherwise be
payable under Section 8.01. However, if the Member retires on or
after his Normal Retirement Date, no actuarial reduction applies and
the amount of Defined

	 	 	Benefit Pension payable to the Member shall be the amount determined by reference to Article 5 with 60% of such amount payable to
the Spouse for her lifetime on the death of the Member.
	 
	 	 	The form and amount of the Banff Lifts Pension payable to a Banff Lifts Member shall be determined
pursuant to the applicable terms of Appendix A regarding normal forms.
	 
	8.05	 	Enhanced Joint and Two-Thirds Survivor Form of Pension
	 
	 	 	Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.04, if a Member with a Spouse on the date that payment of his
pension commences elects (or is deemed to elect) to apply all or part of his Ancillary Value pursuant to
subsection (d) of either Part A or Part B of Section 5.04 to provide an unreduced (or partially reduced,
as applicable):

	 	(a)	 	joint and two-thirds survivor pension without guarantee then the Member’s
Defined Benefit Pension shall be paid to the Member in equal monthly instalments until
the Member dies at which time two-thirds of the amount paid to the Member shall be paid
to the Member’s surviving Spouse, if any, for the remaining lifetime of such Spouse; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	joint and two-thirds survivor pension with a five year guarantee then the
Member’s Defined Benefit Pension shall be paid to the Member in equal monthly
instalments until the Member dies at which time two-thirds of the amount paid to the
Member shall be paid to the Member’s surviving Spouse, if any, for the remaining
lifetime of such Spouse, provided that:

	 	(i)	 	if the Member dies before he has received sixty payments then
the amount payable to the surviving Spouse for the remainder of such sixty
months shall not be less than the amount payable to the Member; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	if the Spouse dies before the Member and the surviving Spouse
have received a total of sixty payments between them then the payments shall
continue to the Beneficiary of the Member for the remainder of such sixty
months.

	 	 	The reduction, if any, to be applied to the Defined Benefit Pension payable to the Member
shall be determined by reference to the Member’s Ancillary Value. If the Member’s Ancillary
Value allocated for this purpose equals the difference in Commuted Value between an
unreduced joint and two-thirds survivor pension (with a five year guarantee if applicable)
and a joint and two-thirds survivor pension (with a five year guarantee if applicable) that
is actuarially equivalent to the mandatory form of pension that would otherwise be payable
under Section 8.04, then the Defined Benefit Pension payable to the Member shall be
unreduced. If the Member’s Ancillary Value allocated for this purpose is less than such
difference in Commuted Value, then the Defined Benefit Pension payable to the Member shall
be reduced to the extent required to ensure that the Commuted Value of such reduced pension
with its joint and two-thirds survivor pension (and five year guarantee if applicable) is
equal to the Ancillary Value allocated pursuant to the applicable subsection (d) of Section

Member’s dependent shall not continue beyond the eligible survivor benefit period as
stated in the Income Tax Rules and shall not exceed sixty-six and two thirds percent
(66 2/3%) of the Member’s benefit.

	 	 	An alternative pension form will be the Actuarial Equivalent of the pension which would

FUTURE OF THE PLAN

	17.01	 	Power to Amend
	 
	 	 	The Company reserves the right to amend or discontinue the Plan,
either in whole or in part, at any time or times, subject to the
Income Tax Rules and the provisions of the Act. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, such right to amend shall include
the right to merge the Plan with another pension plan or plans, to
divide the Plan, to transfer assets from the Pension Fund to the

liabilities from the Plan, or to convert the Plan to a money
purchase pension plan.
	 
	17.02	 	No Reduction in Benefits
	 
	 	 	No amendment to the Plan shall operate to reduce the amount or the
value of the benefits which have accrued to Members prior to the
date of such amendment, provided that the Plan may be amended to
reduce benefits payable under the terms of the Plan, or to return
contributions, where such amendment is necessary to avoid the
revocation of the registration of the Plan under the Income Tax Act
(Canada) and prior approval has been granted by the applicable
provincial regulatory authorities.
	 
	 	 	If the Plan is terminated, the Company shall not be obligated to
make any further contributions to the Plan with respect to service
after the date of such termination of the Plan except as required
under the Act.
	 
	17.03	 	Application of Assets on Termination
	 
	 	 	If the Plan is terminated or otherwise discontinued, all Members
will be 100% vested in the Defined Benefit Pension and Banff Lifts
Pension accrued to the date of termination and the assets of the

Plan attributable thereto, shall be applied, to the extent
sufficient, to provide for the accrued Defined Benefit Pensions and
Banff Lifts Pensions of Members, Spouses and Beneficiaries as
determined by the Company, on the advice of the Actuary and subject
to the requirements of the Act.
	 
	 	 	The Money Purchase Account of a Member affected by the termination

	 	 	If the assets of the Defined Benefit Account are insufficient to
fully provide for all accrued Defined Benefit Pensions and Banff
Lifts Pensions attributable thereto and a solvency deficiency, as
defined under the terms of the Act, exists when the Plan is
terminated, the Company shall amortize such solvency deficiency in
accordance with the Act. If due to insolvency the Company is unable
contribute all amounts required under the Act, then the assets of
the Defined Benefit Account shall be applied to provide benefits for
affected Members, Spouses, and Beneficiaries on a pro rata basis in
accordance with their respective interest in the Plan as determined
by the Company, on the advice of the Actuary and in a manner
approved by the Alberta Superintendent of Pensions. Payment of the
accrued Defined Benefit Pensions and Banff Lifts Pensions of

all Members affected by the partial termination will be 100% vested
in the Defined Benefit Pension and Banff Lifts Pension accrued to
the date of partial termination and a portion of the Defined Benefit
Account shall be allocated in respect of that part of the Plan which
is being terminated. The portion of the Defined Benefit Account to
be allocated shall be determined by the Company in an equitable
manner on the advice of the Actuary subject to the Act. Such
portion of the Defined Benefit Account shall be applied in
accordance with the provisions of Section 17.03 for the benefit of
the Members, Spouses and Beneficiaries affected by the partial
termination.
	 
	 	 	If the assets of the Defined Benefit Account allocated to the
partial windup are insufficient to fully provide for all accrued
Defined Benefit Pensions and Banff Lifts Pensions of Members
affected by the partial windup and a solvency deficiency, as defined
under the terms of the Act, exists in respect of the partial
termination, the Company shall amortize such solvency deficiency in
accordance with the Act. If due to insolvency the Company is unable
contribute all amounts required under the Act then the assets of the
Defined Benefit Account allocated to the partial windup shall be
applied to provide benefits for affected Members, Spouses, and
Beneficiaries on a pro rata basis in accordance with their
respective interest in the Plan as determined by the Company, on the
advice of the Actuary and in a manner approved by the Alberta
Superintendent of Pensions. Payment of the accrued Defined Benefit
Pensions and Banff Lifts Pensions of Members, Spouses and
Beneficiaries shall be made in accordance with the Act.

satisfaction of all accrued benefits of all persons affected by the
partial termination shall be paid to the Company or applied as the
Company may otherwise direct. Any such distribution shall be
conditional upon prior approval of the applicable regulatory
authorities.
	 
	 	 	The Money Purchase Accounts of Members affected by the partial
termination shall be allocated to the partial termination and
transferred to the Defined Benefit Account to eliminate the Money
Purchase Pension offset pursuant to Section 5.03 or transferred out
of the Pension Fund pursuant to Section 6.05 or 7.05, as elected by
the Member.

provide annuities in Canada;
	 
	 	(b)	 	the transfer of benefits to registered pension plans which meet the

division of benefits pursuant to this Section shall also be entitled to exercise the options
available under Section 7.05 in respect of the portion of the benefit allocated to the
