THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made between Canadian Pacific Railway Company (the "Company") and Keith Creel (the "Executive") on the date hereof set forth on the signature page hereto, effective as of July 1, 2017 (the "Effective Date").
WHEREAS, the Executive is currently employed in the position of President and Chief Operating Officer pursuant to the terms and conditions of an employment agreement between the Company and the Executive dated February 5, 2013, as amended on August 10, 2015 (the "Old Agreement");
WHEREAS, the Executive has been offered and wishes to accept continued employment with the Company and commence serving as its President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"); and
WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to enter into this Agreement and define the terms of the employment relationship effective the Effective Date and thereupon superseding the Old Agreement in its entirety.
NOW, THEREFORE, conditional on the Executive remaining an employee in good standing up to and including the Effective Date, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter contained, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:
1.Employment; Office and Duties. Between the date hereof and the Effective Date, the Old Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof. As of the Effective Date the Company shall employ the Executive in the capacity of President and CEO with the duties and responsibilities normally incidental to such a position, and the Executive hereby accepts such employment, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Executive shall report directly to the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"). In his capacity as President and CEO, the Executive agrees

1


to perform the duties consistent with such office, and as may be reasonably assigned to him from time to time by the Board. The Executive may be required to serve as officer or director of one or more subsidiaries or affiliates of the Company or one or more entities in which the Company has an interest. Without limiting the foregoing, the Executive agrees to serve as the President of the Soo Line Railroad Company.
The Executive shall be expected to devote all of his business time to perform his duties and to promote the success of the Company (and its affiliates). The Executive is a fiduciary of the Company and shall act at all times in the Company's best interests. The duties to be performed by the Executive shall include responsibility for managing all aspects of the operations of the Company. The Executive will be primarily based at such location as the Board reasonably designates from time to time.
2.Compensation. All amounts expressed in this Agreement are U.S. Dollars ("USD"). In consideration of the services to be rendered by the Executive to the Company (and services rendered to all affiliates) pursuant to this Agreement, the Executive shall be paid the following compensation and other benefits:
(a)Salary. The Company shall pay the Executive an annual base salary of $1,125,000 payable in accordance with the Company's usual payroll practices, or such higher annual base salary as may be established by the Board from time to time. The Executive's annual base salary shall be referred to in this Agreement as the "Annual Salary". The Annual Salary shall be reviewed annually by the Board and may be increased, but shall not be decreased, without the Executive's consent.
(b)Long Term Incentive Grants upon Appointment to CEO.
(i)On the Effective Date (or the first available date in the event of a corporate blackout applicable to the Executive), the Executive shall be awarded a grant of performance stock options ("Performance Options") having a grant value (as determined pursuant to Company equity grant practices) equal to 500% of the Annual Salary in accordance with the terms

2


of the Section 162(m) Incentive Plan adopted by the Board on December 16, 2015 (the "Omnibus Plan") and the Company's Amended and Restated Management Stock Option Incentive Plan dated November 19, 2015 ("MSOIP"). Pursuant to the terms of such grant, which is to be evidenced by a formal performance option agreement that is consistent with the terms of this Agreement (the "Performance Option Agreement"), the Performance Options (A) will have an exercise price equal to the closing market price of Company common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant and a term of seven years from the date of grant; (B) will vest and become exercisable on the date that is the later of the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date and the date of achievement by the Company of the specified Performance Goals (as such term is defined in the Omnibus Plan) determined by the Board in consultation with the Executive that will be set out in the Performance Option Agreement; and (C) to the extent outstanding, will be canceled and proceeds from any Performance Option exercises shall become repayable should the Executive breach Sections 6 or 8 of this Agreement. For greater certainty, in the event that the Executive's employment ceases for any reason (except for Death or Disability as provided in Section 9(b)(i) and Section 9(b)(ii)) prior to July 1, 2022 the Performance Options shall not vest and will be forfeited without any payment or compensation of any kind.
(ii)On the Effective Date, the Executive shall be awarded a grant of stock options and Performance Share Units under the LTIP, having a grant value (as determined pursuant to Company equity grant practices) equal to 50% of the Annual Salary and having the same terms, conditions and weighting as the Executive’s 2017 long term incentive grant; provided, if the Effective Date shall occur earlier than July 1, 2017, then the grant value of the award shall be increased proportionate to a maximum of 100% of the Annual Salary

3


to reflect the portion of calendar year 2017 during which the Executive serves as CEO.
(c)Short Term Incentive Plan. The Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Company's Performance Incentive Plan ("STIP") as it may be amended from time to time. As of the Effective Date, the STIP shall provide the opportunity to earn an annual bonus at a target level of not less than 120% of Annual Salary as in effect on the last day of the calendar year ("Target Bonus"). The bonus is dependent on corporate performance (75% weighting) and individual performance (25% weighting). Both corporate and individual components currently have a maximum of 200% of a Target Bonus (i.e., for a total of 240% of Annual Salary). The individual component will be the same as the corporate component rating unless the Board, in its sole discretion, determines otherwise. The Board will consider the Company’s safety performance in determining the Executive's individual performance. The Board has discretion in the event of a major safety incident or significant sustained deterioration in Company safety performance to reduce the individual performance component. This discretion is in addition to any safety metric included in the STIP corporate component. The Executive shall fully participate in the STIP for calendar 2017 in accordance with this Section 2(c) without regard for the date he assumes the position of CEO.
(d)Long Term Incentive Program ("LTIP"). The Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Company's LTIP, as it may be amended from time to time (including without limitation the Board's discretion to alter the ratio of performance share units (PSUs) to options granted under such program), having a grant value (as determined pursuant to Company equity grant practices) equal to 400% of Annual Salary commencing with the 2018 annual LTIP grants made to senior executives. All Grants are subject to Board approval each year.

To

17


the extent any amount payable to the Executive is subject to his entering into a release with the Company and any such amount is a deferral of compensation under Section 409A and which amount could be payable in either of two taxable years of the Executive, to the extent permitted under applicable laws and otherwise consistent with Section 409A, such payments shall be made or commence, as applicable, on January 15 (or any later date after the release becomes irrevocable) of such later taxable year and shall include all payments that otherwise would have been made before such date.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Indemnity includes the obligation of the Company to pay for and provide defence legal counsel for the Executive and to pay the costs of the defence as the same are incurred. The Company may, but is not required to, procure directors' and officers' liability insurance to cover any such indemnification obligation. In the event the Company is indemnifying the Executive under this Agreement, the Company may select and engage the legal counsel representing the Executive.

13.Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
(a)    Commencing the date hereof, this Agreement is intended to comply with or be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the US Internal Revenue Code ("Section 409A") with respect to amounts, if any, subject thereto and shall be interpreted, construed and performed consistent with such intent in a manner including, but not limited to, the following:
(i)    Redemption of DSUs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or elsewhere and consistent with the terms of the Canadian Pacific Railway Limited Senior Executive Deferred Share Unit Plan (the "DSU Plan"), all DSUs granted to the Executive and all DSUs redeemable by the Executive in the event of a termination of Executive's employment shall be redeemable in a lump sum on the date following the day that is six months following the date in which the Executive terminates employment with the Company (or, if earlier, the date of Executive’s death after the Date of Termination).
(b)    To the extent the Executive would otherwise be entitled to any payment that under this Agreement, or any plan or arrangement of the Company or its affiliates, constitutes "deferred compensation" subject to Section 409A, and that if paid during the six months beginning on the date of termination of the Executive's employment would be subject to the Section 409A additional tax because the Executive is a "specified employee" (within the meaning of Section 409A and as determined by the Company), the payment, together with any earnings on it (if applicable pursuant to the terms of such payment), will be paid in a lump sum to the Executive on the earlier of the six-month anniversary of his date of termination or his death (if such payment would otherwise have been payable during such six-month period). Similarly, to the extent the Executive would otherwise be entitled to any benefit (other than a payment) during the six months beginning on the date of termination of the Executive's employment that would be subject to the Section 409A additional

19


tax because the Executive is a "specified employee", the benefit will be delayed and will begin being provided (together, if applicable pursuant to the terms of such benefit, with an adjustment to compensate the Executive for the delay) on the earlier of the six-month anniversary of the Executive's date of termination or his death. In addition, any payment or benefit due upon a termination of the Executive's employment that is "deferred compensation" under Section 409A shall be paid or provided to the Executive only upon a "separation from service" as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(h). To the extent applicable, each installment payment made under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A, and amounts payable under Sections 9(b)(i), 9(b)(ii), 9(b)(iii), 9(b)(iv) and 9(b)(v) of this Agreement (in each case, other than the DSUs) shall be deemed not to be a "deferral of compensation" subject to Section 409A to the extent provided in the exceptions in Treas. Reg. Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4) ("short-term deferrals") and 1.409A-1(b)(9) ("separation pay plans," including the exception under subparagraph (iii)) and other applicable provisions of Treas. Reg. Sections 1.409A-1 through 1.409A-6.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or elsewhere, any payment or benefit under this Agreement or otherwise that is exempt from Section 409A pursuant to Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(A) or (C) shall be paid or provided to the Executive only to the extent that the expenses are not incurred, or the benefits are not provided, beyond the last day of the Executive's second taxable year following the taxable year in which his "separation from service" occurs; and provided further that such expenses are reimbursed no later than the last day of the Executive's third taxable year following the taxable year in which his "separation from service" occurs. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to the extent any expense reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit under this Agreement is determined to be subject to Section 409A, the amount of any such expenses eligible for reimbursement, or the provision of any in-kind benefit, in one calendar year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any

20


other taxable year (except for any life-time or other aggregate limitation applicable to medical expenses), in no event shall any expenses be reimbursed after the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Executive incurred such expenses, and in no event shall any right to reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
