Preliminary Short Form Prospectus

CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPANY

US$8,500,000,000

Canadian Debt Securities

U.S. Debt Securities

Canadian Pacific Railway Company may from time to time, during the period that this prospectus remains effective, offer for sale Canadian debt securities (the “Canadian Debt Securities”) and U.S. debt securities (the “U.S. Debt Securities” and, together with the Canadian Debt Securities, the “Debt Securities”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to US$8,500,000,000 or its equivalent in any other currency. These Debt Securities may consist of debentures, notes or other types of debt and may be issued in series. The Debt Securities will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by our parent company Canadian Pacific Railway Limited (“CPRL”).

We will provide the specific terms of these Debt Securities and all information omitted from this prospectus in supplements to this prospectus that will be delivered to you together with this prospectus. You should read this prospectus and the prospectus supplements carefully before you invest.

Messrs. Creel, Hamberger, Monser, Paull and Trafton are directors of the Company who reside outside of Canada and each of these directors has appointed CPRL for service of process at 7550 Ogden Dale Road S.E., Calgary, Alberta, T2C 4X9. Purchasers are advised that it may not be possible for investors to enforce judgments obtained in Canada against any person who resides outside of Canada, even if the party has appointed an agent for service of process.

THESE DEBT SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (“SEC”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES REGULATOR NOR HAS THE SEC OR ANY STATE SECURITIES REGULATOR PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE IN THE UNITED STATES.

We are permitted under a multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States to prepare this prospectus in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements. Prospective investors should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States.

Prospective investors should be aware that the acquisition of the debt securities described herein may have tax consequences both in the United States and in Canada. You should read the tax discussion in any applicable prospectus supplement. This prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement may not describe these tax consequences fully.

In respect of the offering of Debt Securities to residents of the United States, your ability to enforce civil liabilities under United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely because we are incorporated under the laws of Canada, most of our officers and directors and most of the experts named in this prospectus are residents of Canada, and a substantial portion of our assets are located outside the United States.

There is no market through which the securities may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell securities purchased under the short form prospectus. This may affect the pricing of the securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the securities, and the extent of issuer regulation. See “Risk Factors”. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the Debt Securities will not be listed on any securities exchange.

Our head and registered office is located at 7550 Ogden Dale Road S.E., Calgary, Alberta, T2C 4X9.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

In this prospectus and in any prospectus supplement, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, references to “Canadian Pacific Railway”, “the Company”, “us”, “we”, or “our” mean Canadian Pacific Railway Company and its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise specified, references to “US$” are to United States dollars and all references to “Cdn$” or “$” are to Canadian dollars.

This prospectus has been filed in each of the provinces of Canada to qualify the distribution of Debt Securities in such jurisdictions and is also part of a registration statement on Form F-10 relating to the Debt Securities that we filed with the SEC. Under the registration statement, we may also, from time to time, sell any combination of the Debt Securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings in the United States up to an aggregate principal amount of US$8,500,000,000 or its equivalent in any other currency, either separately from or concurrently with an offering of Debt Securities in Canada. This prospectus provides you with a general description of the Debt Securities that we may offer. Each time we sell Debt Securities under the prospectus in Canada and/or registration statement in the United States, as applicable, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering of Debt Securities. The prospectus supplement may also add, update, or change information contained in this prospectus. Before you invest, you should read both this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement together with additional information described under the headings “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Documents Incorporated by Reference”. The version of this prospectus contained in the registration statement does not contain all of the information set forth in the registration statement, certain parts of which, in respect of an offering in the United States, are omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. In respect of an offering of Debt Securities in the United States, reference is made to the registration statement and the exhibits thereto for further information with respect to us and CPRL and the Debt Securities.

Unless otherwise indicated, all financial information included and incorporated by reference into this prospectus is determined using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). U.S. GAAP differs from International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) applied by most Canadian reporting issuers. Therefore, the comparative consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference into this prospectus may not be comparable to financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

Canadian Pacific Railway Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CPRL, a publicly traded corporation whose common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) and the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). Pursuant to decisions of the applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities, we are not subject to most Canadian continuous disclosure requirements provided that CPRL complies with its continuous disclosure requirements. We remain responsible for filing material change reports upon the occurrence of a material change in our affairs which is not also a material change in the affairs of CPRL. The decisions further permit us to incorporate by reference into this prospectus all information or documents that would be required to be incorporated by reference in a short form prospectus filed by CPRL.

CPRL is subject to the information requirements of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “U.S. Exchange Act”), and in accordance therewith files reports and other information with the SEC. CPRL qualifies as a foreign private issuer in the U.S. for purposes of the U.S. Exchange Act. Although as a foreign private issuer CPRL is no longer required to do so, CPRL currently continues to file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K with the SEC instead of filing the reporting forms available to foreign private issuers. CPRL’s filings are electronically available from the SEC’s Electronic Document Gathering and Retrieval System, which is commonly known by the acronym EDGAR and which may be accessed at www.sec.gov, as well as from commercial document retrieval services.

EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION

The following table sets forth, for each of the periods indicated, the high and low daily average exchange rates, the average exchange rate and the period end daily average exchange rate of one United States dollar in exchange for Canadian dollars as reported by the Bank of Canada.

The daily average exchange rate on June 18, 2021, as reported by the Bank of Canada for the conversion of United States dollars into Canadian dollars was US$1.00 equals $1.2419.

DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE

Upon a new annual information form (including an annual report on Form 10-K), management’s discussion and analysis and related annual consolidated financial statements being filed by CPRL with the applicable securities regulatory authorities during the term of this prospectus, the previous annual information form (including an annual report on Form 10-K), management’s discussion and analysis, annual consolidated financial statements, all interim consolidated financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis, material change reports, and business acquisition reports (in respect of a significant acquisition for which at least nine months of the acquired business or related businesses operations are incorporated into CPRL’s then current annual financial statements) filed prior to the commencement of the then current fiscal year of CPRL will be deemed no longer to be incorporated into this prospectus for purposes of future offers and sales of Debt Securities under this prospectus. Upon interim consolidated financial statements and the accompanying management’s discussion and analysis being filed by CPRL with the applicable securities regulatory authorities during the term of this prospectus, all interim consolidated financial statements and the accompanying management’s discussion and analysis filed prior to the filing of the new interim consolidated financial statements shall be deemed no longer to be incorporated into this prospectus for purposes of future offers and sales of Debt Securities under this prospectus and upon a new management proxy circular relating to an annual meeting of shareholders of CPRL being filed by CPRL with the applicable securities regulatory authorities during the term of this prospectus, the management proxy circular for the preceding annual meeting of shareholders of CPRL shall be deemed no longer to be incorporated by reference into this prospectus for purposes of future offers and sales of Debt Securities under this prospectus.

Any statement contained in this prospectus or in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this prospectus to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such prior statement. The modifying or superseding statement need not state that it has modified or superseded a prior statement or include any other information set forth in the document which it modifies or supersedes. The making of a modifying or superseding statement is not to be deemed an admission for any purposes that the modified

- 3 -

or superseded statement, when made, constituted a misrepresentation, an untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to state a material fact that is required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances in which it was made. Any statement or document so modified or superseded shall not, except to the extent so modified or superseded, be incorporated by reference and constitute a part of this prospectus.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein include “forward-looking information” and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of securities laws, including the “safe harbour” provisions of applicable Canadian securities laws, the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 21E of the U.S. Exchange Act and Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). In addition to the cautionary statement below, with respect to forward-looking statements contained in the documents incorporated by reference herein, prospective purchasers should refer to “Forward-Looking Statements” in the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the 2020 MD&A and the 2021 Interim MD&A, as well as to the advisories section of any documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus that are filed after the date hereof.

All forward-looking statements are based on our and CPRL’s current beliefs as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to us and CPRL. Forward-looking statements in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to: our and CPRL’s defined benefit pension expectations for 2021 and through 2024, CPRL’s expectations for 2021 financial and operational performance, including CPRL full-year guidance for expected revenue ton miles and Adjusted diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) growth, planned capital expenditures (including how such capital expenditures are expected to be financed), expected impacts resulting from changes in the U.S.-to-Canadian dollar exchange rate, and the effective tax rate, as well as statements concerning CPRL’s operations, anticipated financial performance, business prospects and strategies, including statements concerning the anticipation that cash flow from operations and various sources of financing will be sufficient to meet debt repayments and obligations in the foreseeable future and concerning anticipated capital programs, and statements regarding future payments including income taxes and pension contributions. Forward-looking statements typically contain statements with words such as “financial expectations”, “key assumptions”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “plan”, “will”, “outlook”, “should” or similar words suggesting future outcomes.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because it is possible that we and CPRL will not achieve predictions, forecasts, projections and other forms of forward-looking statements. The purpose of CPRL’s expected 2021 Adjusted diluted EPS is to assist readers in understanding CPRL’s expected and targeted financial results, and this information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Current economic conditions render assumptions, although reasonable when made, subject to greater uncertainty.

By their nature, our and CPRL’s forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the following factors: changes in business strategies; general North American and global social, economic, political, credit and business conditions; risks associated with agricultural production such as weather conditions and insect populations; the availability and price of energy commodities; the effects of competition and pricing pressures, including competition from other rail carriers; trucking companies and maritime shippers in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, industry capacity; shifts in market demand; changes in commodity prices; uncertainty surrounding timing and volumes of commodities being shipped; inflation; geopolitical instability; changes in laws, regulations and government policies, including regulation of rates; changes in taxes and tax rates; potential increases in maintenance and operating costs; changes in fuel prices; disruption in fuel supplies; uncertainties of investigations; proceedings or other types of claims and litigation; compliance with environmental regulations; labour disputes; changes in labour costs and labour difficulties; risks and liabilities arising from derailments; transportation of dangerous goods; timing of

- 4 -

completion of capital and maintenance projects; currency and interest rate fluctuations; exchange rates; effects of changes in market conditions and discount rates on the financial position of pension plans and investments; trade restrictions or other changes to international trade arrangements; the effects of current and future multinational trade agreements on the level of trade among Canada, the U.S. and Mexico; climate change and the market and regulatory responses to climate change; anticipated in-service dates; success of hedging activities; operational performance and reliability; customer, shareholder, regulatory and other stakeholder approvals and support; regulatory and legislative decisions and actions; public opinion; various events that could disrupt operations, including severe weather, such as droughts, floods, avalanches and earthquakes, and cybersecurity attacks, as well as security threats and governmental response to them, and technological changes; acts of terrorism, war or other acts of violence or crime or risk of such activities; insurance coverage limitations; material adverse changes in economic and industry conditions, including the availability of short and long-term financing; the pandemic created by the outbreak of COVID-19 and resulting effects on economic conditions, the demand environment for logistics requirements and energy prices, restrictions imposed by public health authorities or governments, fiscal and monetary policy responses by governments and financial institutions, and disruptions to global supply chains. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive.

The risks and uncertainties of our and CPRL’s business, including those discussed above and in documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus and as described under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere herein, could cause our and CPRL’s actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. In addition, we and CPRL base forward-looking statements on assumptions about future events, which, although reasonable when made, may not prove to be accurate.

In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, prospective investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and should be aware that events described in forward-looking statements set out in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus may not occur.

We and CPRL cannot assure prospective investors that our future results, levels of activity and achievements will occur as we expect, and neither we, nor CPRL, nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we and CPRL undertake no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

“Adjusted diluted EPS” referred to above has no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and, therefore, may not be comparable to a similar measure presented by other companies. See Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of CPRL’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K and “Non-GAAP Measures” in the 2021 Interim MD&A for the definition and further discussion of this non-GAAP measure.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement, the net proceeds resulting from the issuance of Debt Securities may be used by the Company for general corporate purposes, including repayment of indebtedness, financing the Company’s capital expenditure program, share repurchases, acquisitions and other business opportunities. The amount of net proceeds to be used for any such purpose will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. We may, from time to time, issue debt instruments and incur additional indebtedness other than through the issue of Debt Securities pursuant to this prospectus.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEBT SECURITIES AND GUARANTEE

In this section, “we”, “us”, “our”, “Company” or “CP” refer only to Canadian Pacific Railway Company without any of its subsidiaries through which it operates. Capitalized terms defined in this section only apply to such terms used in this section and are not applicable elsewhere in this prospectus. The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the Debt Securities. The particular terms and provisions of the series of Debt Securities offered by any prospectus supplement, and the extent to which the general terms and provisions described below may apply thereto, will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, which may provide information that is different from this prospectus.

The Canadian Debt Securities will be issued under a trust indenture (the “Canadian Indenture”) entered into between us and Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as trustee (the “Canadian Trustee”) on May 23, 2008, as amended or supplemented. The Canadian Indenture has been filed with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada and with the SEC.

- 6 -

The U.S. Debt Securities will be issued under a trust indenture (the “U.S. Indenture” and, together with the Canadian Indenture, the “Indentures”) entered into between us and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “U.S. Trustee”) on September 11, 2015, as amended or supplemented. The U.S. Indenture has been filed with the SEC.

Debt Securities may also be issued under new indentures between us and a trustee or trustees as will be discussed in a prospectus supplement for such Debt Securities. The following statements with respect to the Indentures and the Debt Securities are summaries of the material provisions of the Indentures. However, it is the applicable Indenture, and not this summary, that governs your rights as a holder of the Debt Securities. Wherever particular sections or defined terms of the applicable Indenture are referred to, these sections or defined terms are incorporated herein by reference as part of the statement made, and the statement is qualified in its entirety by this reference. The term “U.S. Securities”, as used in this section, refers to all securities issued under the U.S. Indenture, including the U.S. Debt Securities. Prospective investors should rely on information in the applicable prospectus supplement if it is different from the following information.

Guarantee

CPRL will fully and unconditionally guarantee the payment of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest, on the Debt Securities issued by us, any sinking fund or analogous payments payable with respect to such Debt Securities and any additional amounts payable with respect to such Debt Securities, when they become due and payable, whether at the stated maturity thereof or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise.

General

The Indentures do not limit the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities which may be issued thereunder, and Debt Securities may be issued thereunder from time to time in one or more series and may be denominated and payable in foreign currencies. The Debt Securities offered pursuant to this prospectus will be issued in an amount up to US$8,500,000,000 or the equivalent in other currencies or units based on other foreign currencies. The Indentures also permit us to increase the principal amount of any series of Debt Securities previously issued and to issue that increased principal amount.

The applicable prospectus supplement will set forth certain terms relating to the Debt Securities offered thereby (the “Offered Securities”), including, but not limited to, the following:

- 7 -

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the Indentures do not afford the holders the right to tender Debt Securities to us for repurchase, or provide for any increase in the rate or rates of interest per annum at which the Debt Securities will bear interest.

Debt Securities may be issued under the Indentures bearing no interest and may be offered and sold at a discount below their stated principal amount. The Canadian and U.S. federal income tax consequences and other special considerations applicable to those discounted Debt Securities or other Debt Securities offered and sold at par which are treated as having been issued at a discount for Canadian and/or U.S. federal income tax purposes will be described in the prospectus supplement relating thereto.

Ranking

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the Debt Securities will be our unsecured obligations and will rank pari passu with all our other unsecured and unsubordinated debt from time to time outstanding, and pari passu with other debt securities issued under the Canadian Indenture and the U.S. Indenture, as applicable. We conduct a substantial portion of our business through corporate and partnership subsidiaries. The Debt Securities will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities, including trade payables and other indebtedness, of any of our corporate or partnership subsidiaries.

The guarantee will be CPRL’s unsubordinated and unsecured obligation and, unless otherwise provided with respect to a series of Debt Securities, will rank equally with all of CPRL’s other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. CPRL conducts a substantial portion of its business through corporate and partnership subsidiaries. CPRL’s obligations under the guarantee will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities, including trade payables and indebtedness, of any of CPRL’s corporate and partnership subsidiaries.

- 8 -

Negative Pledge

The Indentures include a covenant of ours to the effect that, so long as any of the Debt Securities remain outstanding, we will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, create, assume or otherwise have outstanding any Security Interest, except for Permitted Encumbrances, on or over any of our present or future Railway Properties or of any of our Subsidiaries or on any shares in the capital stock of any Railroad Subsidiary securing any Indebtedness of any Person without also at the same time or prior thereto securing equally and ratably with such other Indebtedness all of the Debt Securities then outstanding under the Indentures.

Description of the Canadian Debt Securities

Form of Canadian Debt Securities

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, Canadian Debt Securities of a particular series will be issued only in the form of fully registered global securities (the “Global Securities”) to be held by, or on behalf of, CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. (“CDS”), as depositary for its Participants (as defined below), and will be registered in the name of CDS or its nominee. Purchasers of Canadian Debt Securities represented by Global Securities will not receive Canadian Debt Securities in definitive form unless the Company, in its sole discretion, elects to prepare and deliver definitive securities (the “Definitive Securities”) in fully registered form. Furthermore, if CDS notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue to be depositary in connection with a Global Security, or if CDS ceases to be a clearing agency or otherwise ceases to be eligible to be a depositary, and the Company is unable to find a qualified successor, or if the Company elects, in its sole discretion, to terminate the book-entry system in respect of a Global Security, or if an event of default has occurred and is continuing and Participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners of the Canadian Debt Securities representing in aggregate more than 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Canadian Debt Securities or any particular series thereof then outstanding advise CDS that the continuation of the book-entry system described below is no longer in their interest, the Company will arrange to have issued and delivered to Participants, on behalf of beneficial owners, Definitive Securities.

Beneficial interests in the Global Securities, constituting ownership of the Canadian Debt Securities, will be represented through book-entry accounts of institutions acting on behalf of beneficial owners, as direct and indirect participants (the “Participants”) of CDS. Each purchaser of a Canadian Debt Security represented by a Global Security will receive a customer confirmation of purchase from the underwriter, investment dealer or agent from which the Canadian Debt Security is purchased in accordance with the practices and procedures of

- 12 -

such underwriter, investment dealer or agent. Such practices may vary, but generally customer confirmations are issued promptly following execution of a customer order. CDS will be responsible for establishing and maintaining book-entry accounts for its Participants having interests in Global Securities.

Transfer of Canadian Debt Securities

Transfer of beneficial ownership of Canadian Debt Securities represented by Global Securities will be effected through records maintained by CDS or its nominee for such Global Securities (with respect to interests of Participants) and through the records of Participants (with respect to interests of persons other than Participants). Unless the Company elects, in its sole discretion, to prepare and deliver Definitive Securities, beneficial owners who are not Participants in CDS’s book-entry system, but who desire to purchase, sell or otherwise transfer ownership of, or other interest in, Global Securities, may do so only through Participants in CDS’s book-entry system.

The ability of a beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Security to pledge or otherwise take action with respect to such owner’s interest in a Global Security (other than through a Participant) may be limited by the unavailability of a certificate registered in such owner’s name.

Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest

Payments of interest (if any) on, principal of and premium (if any) on, each Global Security will be made by the Company to CDS or its nominee, as the case may be, as registered holder of the Global Security. So long as CDS or its nominee is the registered holder of a Global Security, CDS or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered to be the sole owner of the Global Security for the purpose of receiving payments of interest (if any) on, principal of and premium (if any) on, such Global Security and for all other purposes under such Global Security. The record date for the payment of interest, if any, will be the fifth business day prior to the applicable interest payment date.

The Company understands that CDS or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of interest, if any, or principal and premium, if any, in respect of a Global Security, will credit Participants’ accounts, on the date interest, if any, or principal and premium, if any, is paid, with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective interests in the principal amount of such Global Security as shown on the records of CDS or its nominee. The Company also understands that payments of interest, if any, or principal and premium, if any, by Participants to the beneficial owners in such Global Security held through such Participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name”, and will be the responsibility of such Participants. The responsibility and liability of the Company in respect of payments on Global Securities are limited solely and exclusively, while the Canadian Debt Securities are in Global Security form, to making payment of interest, if any, and principal and premium, if any, due on such Global Security to CDS or its nominee. The Company will not have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to beneficial ownership interests in a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

If the due date for payment of interest (if any) on, principal of or premium (if any) on, any Canadian Debt Security is not, at the place of payment, a business day, such payment will be made on the next business day and the holder of such Canadian Debt Security will not be entitled to any further interest or other payment in respect of such delay.

Open Market Purchases

The Company will have the right at any time and from time to time when it is not in default under the Canadian Indenture to purchase Canadian Debt Securities in the market, by tender or by private contract at any price.

- 13 -

Events of Default and Waiver

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the following are events of default under the Canadian Indenture in relation to a series of Canadian Debt Securities issued thereunder:

If an event of default has occurred under the Canadian Indenture and is continuing, the Canadian Trustee may, in its discretion, and shall upon the request in writing of the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of Canadian Debt Securities of the applicable series issued and outstanding under the Canadian Indenture, subject to any waiver of default under the Canadian Indenture, by notice in writing to the Company declare the principal and accrued interest, if any, and premium, if any, on all Canadian Debt Securities of the applicable series then outstanding under the Canadian Indenture and other money payable thereunder to be due and payable.

If an event of default has occurred under the Canadian Indenture, the holders of not less than 66²⁄₃% of the principal amount of the Canadian Debt Securities affected by the event of default then outstanding (or 100% in the case of a continuing failure to make payment of principal) shall have the power, under the Canadian Indenture, by resolution in writing, to instruct the Canadian Trustee to waive such default.

Right of Canadian Trustee to Enforce Payment

If, following a declaration made by the Canadian Trustee as set forth under “Events of Default and Waiver” above, the Company fails to pay to the Canadian Trustee on demand the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, and any other amounts due under the Canadian Indenture on any series of Canadian Debt Securities then outstanding under the Canadian Indenture, the Canadian Trustee shall, upon the request in writing of: (i) in respect of a particular series of Canadian Debt Securities, the holders of not less than 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Canadian Debt Securities of such series, or (ii) in respect of all Canadian Debt

- 14 -

Securities, the holders of not less than 25% of the aggregate principal amount of all Canadian Debt Securities outstanding under the Canadian Indenture, and upon being indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction against all costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred, proceed in its name as Canadian Trustee to obtain or enforce payment of the principal and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Canadian Debt Securities of that series thereunder, together with any other amounts due under the Canadian Indenture, by any remedy or proceeding authorized by the Canadian Indenture or by law or equity as the Canadian Trustee shall have been directed by holders of Canadian Debt Securities or, failing such direction, as the Canadian Trustee shall deem expedient.

Holders of Canadian Debt Securities issued under the Canadian Indenture may not institute any action, suit or proceeding or exercise any other remedy authorized by the Canadian Indenture, including an action to enforce the Canadian Indenture or Canadian Debt Securities, except as provided in the Canadian Indenture.

Consolidation, Merger, Amalgamation and Sale of Assets

The Company shall not enter into any transaction (whether by way of consolidation, amalgamation, merger, transfer, sale or otherwise) whereby all or substantially all of its assets would become the property of any other Person (any such Person being referred to as a “Successor”) unless (a) the Successor shall, prior to or contemporaneously with the consummation of that transaction, execute those instruments, which may include a supplemental indenture, and do those things, if any, as shall be necessary or advisable to establish that upon the consummation of that transaction (i) the Successor will have assumed all of the covenants and obligations of the Company under the Canadian Indenture in respect of the Canadian Debt Securities of every series, and (ii) the Canadian Debt Securities of every series will be valid and binding obligations of the Successor entitling the holders thereof, as against the Successor, to all the rights of holders of Canadian Debt Securities under the Canadian Indenture; (b) the Successor is a corporation, company, partnership or trust organized and validly existing under the laws of Canada or any province thereof or of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; and (c) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no event of default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an event of default, shall have occurred and be continuing.

Modification

The Canadian Indenture provides that supplemental indentures containing modifications and alterations thereto may be made by the Company when authorized by a resolution of its board of directors: (i) to add covenants to protect holders of Canadian Debt Securities; to provide for additional events of default; to provide for an issue of Canadian Debt Securities in one or more series; to evidence the succession, or successive successions, of successor to CP; to give effect to a resolution of holders of Canadian Debt Securities; and to add limitations or restrictions to be observed upon the amount or issue of Canadian Debt Securities thereunder, provided such limitations or restrictions shall not be prejudicial to the interests of holders of the Canadian Debt Securities; or (ii) to make such provision not inconsistent with the Canadian Indenture with respect to questions or matters arising under the Canadian Indenture including the making of any modifications to the form of Canadian Debt Securities which do not affect the substance thereof, provided that such provisions and modifications shall not be prejudicial to the interest of holders of Canadian Debt Securities thereunder.

The Canadian Indenture also provides that the holders of Canadian Debt Securities shall have the power to modify the rights of the holders under the Canadian Indenture. For that purpose, among others, the Canadian Indenture contains provisions to render binding on all holders of Canadian Debt Securities resolutions passed by the affirmative votes of the holders of not less than 66²⁄₃% of the aggregate principal amount of Canadian Debt Securities who are present in person or represented by proxy at a duly convened meeting or instruments in writing signed by holders of not less than 66²⁄₃% of the principal amount of outstanding Canadian Debt Securities (“Extraordinary Resolutions”). The quorum for meetings of holders of Canadian Debt Securities at which such an Extraordinary Resolution will be considered shall be holders representing at least 51% of the principal amount of Canadian Debt Securities then outstanding entitled to vote thereon provided that, at any adjourned meeting, the holders of Canadian Debt Securities present in person or represented by proxy shall form

- 15 -

a quorum whether or not such holders represent at least 51% of the principal amount of outstanding Canadian Debt Securities. If the rights of holders of Canadian Debt Securities of one or more series are especially affected, then the modification requires assent by the holders of Canadian Debt Securities of the especially affected series and, in certain cases, only requires the assent by holders of the particular affected series.

Description of the U.S. Debt Securities

U.S. Debt Securities in Global Form

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, U.S. Debt Securities of a particular series will be issued in the form of one or more “global securities” which will be registered in the name of and be deposited with a depositary, or its nominee, each of which will be identified in the prospectus supplement relating to that series. Unless and until exchanged, in whole or in part, for U.S. Securities in definitive form, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary for a global security to a nominee of that depositary, by a nominee of that depositary to that depositary or another nominee of that depositary or by that depositary or any nominee of that depositary to a successor of that depositary or a nominee of a successor of that depositary.

The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any portion of a particular series of U.S. Securities to be represented by a global security will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to that series. We anticipate that the following provisions will apply to all depositary arrangements.

Upon the issuance of a global security, the depositary therefor or its nominee will credit, on its book entry and registration system, the respective principal amounts of the U.S. Securities represented by that global security to the accounts of those persons having accounts with that depositary or its nominee (“participants”) as shall be designated by the underwriters, investment dealers or agents participating in the distribution of those U.S. Securities or by us if those U.S. Securities are offered and sold directly by us. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be limited to participants or persons that may hold beneficial interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be shown on, and the transfer of the ownership of those beneficial interests will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary therefor or its nominee (with respect to beneficial interests of participants) or by participants or persons that hold through participants (with respect to interests of persons other than participants). The laws of some states in the United States require certain purchasers of securities to take physical delivery thereof in definitive form. These depositary arrangements and these laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a global security.

So long as the depositary for a global security or its nominee is the registered owner thereof, that depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the U.S. Securities represented by that global security for all purposes under the U.S. Indenture. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not be entitled to have U.S. Securities of the series represented by that global security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of U.S. Securities of that series in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of those U.S. Securities under the U.S. Indenture.

Principal, premium, if any, and interest payments on a global security registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to that depositary or nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of that global security. None of us, the U.S. Trustee or any paying agent for U.S. Securities of the series represented by that global security will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial interests in that global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to those beneficial interests.

We expect that the depositary for a global security or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium or interest, will immediately credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to

- 16 -

their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of that global security as shown on the records of that depositary or its nominee. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in that global security held through those participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in “street name”, and will be the responsibility of those participants.

If the depositary for a global security representing U.S. Securities of a particular series is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary, or if the depositary is no longer eligible to continue as depositary, and a successor depositary is not appointed by us within 90 days, or if an Event of Default described in clauses (a) or (b) of the first sentence under “Events of Default” below with respect to a particular series of U.S. Securities has occurred and is continuing, we will issue securities of that series in definitive form in exchange for that global security. In addition, we may at any time and in our sole discretion determine not to have the U.S. Securities of a particular series represented by one or more global securities and, in that event, will issue securities of that series in definitive form in exchange for all of the global securities representing securities of that series.

U.S. Debt Securities in Definitive Form

If indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the U.S. Securities may be issued in fully registered form without coupons and in denominations of US$1,000 or any integral multiple thereof. U.S. Securities may be presented for exchange and U.S. Securities may be presented for registration of transfer in the manner, at the places and, subject to the restrictions set forth in the U.S. Indenture and in the applicable prospectus supplement, without service charge, but upon payment of any taxes or other governmental charges due in connection therewith. We have appointed the U.S. Trustee as Security Registrar. U.S. Securities in bearer form and the coupons appertaining thereto, if any, will be transferable by delivery.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, payment of the principal of and any premium and interest on U.S. Securities (other than a global security) will be made at the office or agency of the U.S. Trustee at 150 East 42nd Street, 40th Floor, New York, New York, 10017, except that, at our option, payment of any interest may be made (a) by cheque mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as that Person’s address will appear in the Security Register or (b) by wire transfer to an account maintained by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Security Register.

Consolidation, Merger, Amalgamation and Sale of Assets

We shall not enter into any transaction (whether by way of consolidation, amalgamation, merger, transfer, sale or otherwise) whereby all or substantially all of our assets would become the property of any other Person (the “Successor”) unless (a) we and the Successor shall, prior to or contemporaneously with the consummation of that transaction, execute those instruments, which may include a supplemental indenture, and do those things, if any, as shall be necessary or advisable to establish that upon the consummation of that transaction (i) the Successor will have assumed all of our covenants and obligations under the U.S. Indenture in respect of the U.S. Securities of every series, and (ii) the U.S. Securities of every series will be valid and binding obligations of the Successor entitling the holders thereof, as against the Successor Corporation, to all the rights of holders of U.S. Securities under the U.S. Indenture; (b) the Successor is a corporation, company, partnership, or trust organized and validly existing under the laws of Canada or any province thereof or of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (c) we deliver to the U.S. Trustee an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that the transaction and any supplemental indenture comply with the U.S. Indenture and all conditions precedent contained in the U.S. Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with; and (d) immediately before and after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing.

Provision of Financial Information

We will file with the U.S. Trustee, within 15 days after CPRL is required to file them with the SEC, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the

- 17 -

foregoing as the SEC may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which CPRL may be required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the U.S. Exchange Act. Or if CPRL is not required to file information, documents or reports pursuant to either of Section 13 or Section 15(d), then we will file with the U.S. Trustee and the SEC, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the SEC, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports which may be required pursuant to Section 13 of the U.S. Exchange Act in respect of a U.S. debt security listed and registered on a national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and regulations.

Events of Default

The occurrence of any of the following events with respect to the U.S. Securities of any series will constitute an “Event of Default” with respect to the U.S. Securities of that series:

If an Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) above occurs and is continuing with respect to U.S. Securities of any series, unless the principal of all of the U.S. Securities of that series shall have already become due and payable, the U.S. Trustee shall upon request in writing made by the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the U.S. Securities of that series then outstanding, declare the principal of (and premium, if

- 18 -

any, on) all the U.S. Securities of that series then outstanding and the interest accrued thereon and all other money, if any, owing under the provisions of the U.S. Indenture in respect of those U.S. Securities to be due and payable immediately on demand. If an Event of Default described in clause (c) or (f) above occurs and is continuing with respect to the U.S. Securities of one or more series, unless the principal of all of the U.S. Securities of the affected series shall have already become due and payable, the U.S. Trustee shall upon request in writing made by the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the U.S. Securities of all such affected series then outstanding (voting as one class), declare the principal of (and premium, if any, on) all the U.S. Securities of all the affected series then outstanding and the interest accrued thereon and all other money, if any, owing under the provisions of the U.S. Indenture in respect of those U.S. Securities to be due and payable immediately on demand. If an Event of Default described in clause (d) or (e) above occurs and is continuing, unless the principal of all U.S. Securities then outstanding shall have already become due and payable, the U.S. Trustee shall upon request in writing made by the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all the U.S. Securities then outstanding (voting as one class), declare the principal of (and premium, if any, on) all the U.S. Securities then outstanding and the interest accrued thereon and all other money, if any, owing under the provisions of the U.S. Indenture in respect of those U.S. Securities to be due and payable immediately on demand. Upon certain conditions, any declaration of this kind may be cancelled if all Events of Default with respect to the U.S. Securities of all those affected series then outstanding shall have been cured or waived as provided in the U.S. Indenture by the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the U.S. Securities of the affected series then outstanding (voting as one class, except in the case of Events of Default described in clauses (a) and (b) of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph, as to which each series so affected will vote as a separate class). See “Modification and Waiver” below.

Reference is made to the applicable prospectus supplement or supplements relating to any series of original issue discount U.S. Securities for the particular provisions relating to the acceleration of a portion of the principal amount thereof upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default with respect thereto.

The U.S. Indenture provides that the U.S. Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the U.S. Indenture at the request or direction of the holders, unless those holders shall have provided to the U.S. Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it, acting reasonably. Subject to those provisions for indemnity and certain other limitations contained in the U.S. Indenture, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the U.S. Securities of all affected series then outstanding (voting as one class) will have the right to sanction or direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the U.S. Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the U.S. Trustee, with respect to the U.S. Securities of those affected series.

The U.S. Indenture provides that no holder of the U.S. Securities of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the U.S. Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, unless (a) that holder shall have previously given to the U.S. Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the U.S. Securities of that series, (b) the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the U.S. Securities of that series (or in the case of an Event of Default relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all affected series then outstanding (voting as one class)) shall have made written request to the U.S. Trustee to institute a proceeding in its own name as trustee under the U.S. Indenture, (c) that holder offered to the U.S. Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby in compliance with such request, (d) the U.S. Trustee failed to institute a proceeding within 60 days after that notice, request and offer of indemnity and (e) no direction inconsistent with that written request was been given to the U.S. Trustee during the 60 day period following notice by holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the U.S. Securities of that series or, if applicable, of all the affected series then outstanding (voting as one class). However, the holder of any U.S. Security will have an absolute right to receive payment of the principal of and any premium and interest on that U.S. Security on or after the due dates expressed in that U.S. Security and to institute suit for the enforcement of any of these payments. The U.S. Indenture requires us to furnish to the U.S. Trustee annually an officers’ certificate as to our compliance with certain covenants, conditions or other requirements contained in the U.S. Indenture and as to any non-compliance therewith.

- 19 -

The U.S. Indenture provides that the U.S. Trustee may withhold notice to the holders of the U.S. Securities of one or more series of any default affecting those series (except defaults as to payment of principal or interest) if the U.S. Trustee, in good faith, considers that withholding to be in the best interests of the holders of the U.S. Securities of those series.

Additional Amounts

All payments made by us under or with respect to the U.S. Securities will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto) imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Government of Canada or of any province or territory thereof or by any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax (hereinafter “Canadian Taxes”), unless we are required to withhold or deduct Canadian Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. If we are so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Canadian Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to the U.S. Securities, we will pay as additional interest such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each holder after such withholding or deduction (and after deducting any Canadian Taxes on such Additional Amounts) will not be less than the amount the holder would have received if such Canadian Taxes had not been withheld or deducted. However, no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to a payment made to a holder (such holder, an “Excluded Holder”) in respect of the beneficial owner thereof:

We will also:

- 20 -

We will furnish to the U.S. Trustee and the holders of the U.S. Securities, within 30 days after the date the payment of any Canadian Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts or other documents evidencing such payment by us.

We will indemnify and hold harmless each holder (other than an Excluded Holder) and upon written request reimburse each such holder for the amount of:

Wherever in the U.S. Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal (and premium, if any), interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to a U.S. Security, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

In any event, no Additional Amounts or indemnity will be payable with respect to taxes imposed directly or indirectly under FATCA and no Additional Amounts or indemnity will be payable in excess of the Additional Amounts or indemnity which would be required if the holder of the U.S. Security was a resident of the United States for purposes of, and entitled to claim the benefits under, the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980), as amended.

Tax Redemption

Subject to certain conditions, the U.S. Securities will be subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, at our option, at any time, on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice, at 100% of the principal amount, together with accrued interest thereon to the redemption date, in the event we determine that there is more than an insubstantial risk that we have become or would become obligated to pay, on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the U.S. Securities, any Additional Amounts as a result of an amendment to or change in the laws (including any regulations promulgated thereunder) of Canada (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), or any amendment to or change in any official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change is announced or becomes effective on or after the date of the prospectus and prospectus supplement under which the U.S. Securities offered and sold.

Modification and Waiver

The U.S. Indenture permits us and the U.S. Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures without the consent of the holders of the U.S. Securities to, among other things: (a) secure the U.S. Securities of one or more series, (b) evidence the assumption by the Successor of our covenants and obligations, under the U.S. Indenture and the U.S. Securities then outstanding, (c) add covenants or Events of Default for the benefit of the holders of one or more series of the U.S. Securities or surrender any right or power conferred upon us by the U.S. Indenture, (d) cure any ambiguity or correct or supplement any defective provision in the U.S. Indenture which correction will not be prejudicial to the interests of the holders of the U.S. Securities in any material respect, (e) establish the form and terms of the U.S. Securities of any series, (f) evidence the acceptance of appointment by a successor U.S. Trustee, and (g) make any other modifications which will not be prejudicial to the interests of the holders of the U.S. Securities in any material respect.

The U.S. Indenture also permits us and the U.S. Trustee, with the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the U.S. Securities of each series then outstanding and affected (voting as one

- 21 -

class), to add any provisions to, or change in any manner or eliminate any of the provisions of, the U.S. Indenture or modify in any manner the rights of the holders of the U.S. Securities of each such affected series; provided, however, that we and the U.S. Trustee may not, among other things, without the consent of all holders of the U.S. Securities then outstanding and affected thereby: (a) change the stated maturity of the principal amount of, or any installment of the principal of or the interest on, that U.S. Security; (b) reduce the principal amount of or the rate of interest on or any premium payable upon the redemption of that U.S. Security; (c) reduce the amount of principal of an original issue discount U.S. Security payable upon acceleration of the maturity thereof; (d) change the place or currency of payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on that U.S. Security; (e) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of payment of this kind with respect to that U.S. Security on or after the stated maturity thereof; or (f) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the outstanding U.S. Securities of the affected series, the consent of whose holders is required for modification or amendment of the U.S. Indenture, or for any waiver with respect to compliance with certain provisions of the U.S. Indenture or certain Events of Default and their consequences provided for in the U.S Indenture.

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the U.S. Securities of all series at the time outstanding with respect to which a default or breach or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (voting as one class) may on behalf of the holders of all such affected U.S. Securities waive any past default or breach or Event of Default and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or premium or interest on any U.S. Security of any of those series or an Event of Default in respect of a covenant or provision of the U.S. Indenture or of any U.S. Security which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of all holders of all outstanding U.S. Securities of any series affected.

Defeasance

The U.S. Indenture provides that, at our option, we will be discharged from any and all obligations with respect to the U.S. Securities of any series (except for certain obligations to execute and deliver definitive U.S. Securities of that series, to register the transfer or exchange of the U.S. Securities of that series, to replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen U.S. Securities of that series, to maintain paying agencies, to compensate and indemnify the U.S. Trustee and to maintain the trust described below) (hereinafter called a “defeasance”) upon the irrevocable deposit with the U.S. Trustee, in trust, of money, and/or securities of the government which issued the currency in which the U.S. Securities of that series are payable or securities backed by the full faith and credit of that government which, through the payment of the principal thereof and the interest thereon in accordance with their terms, will provide money, in an amount sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent chartered accountants, to pay all the principal of and any premium and interest on the U.S. Securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the U.S. Securities of that series. Such a defeasance may be effected only if, among other things, (a) we have delivered to the U.S. Trustee an opinion of counsel (who may be our independent counsel) stating that we have received from, or there has been published by, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) a ruling or there has been a change in the applicable laws or regulations, in either case to the effect that the holders of the U.S. Securities of that series should not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of that defeasance and should be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if that defeasance had not occurred, and (b) we have delivered to the U.S. Trustee an opinion of counsel in Canada (who may be our independent counsel) or a ruling from the Canada Revenue Agency to the effect that the holders of the U.S. Securities of that series should not recognize income, gain or loss for Canadian federal or provincial income or other Canadian tax purposes as a result of that defeasance and should be subject to Canadian federal or provincial income and other Canadian tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if that defeasance had not occurred (and for the purposes of such opinion, such Canadian counsel shall assume that holders of the U.S. Securities include holders who are not resident in Canada). In addition, we may obtain a discharge of the U.S. Indenture with respect to the U.S. Securities of all series issued under the U.S. Indenture by depositing with the U.S. Trustee, in trust, an amount of money and government securities as shall be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent chartered accountants, to pay, at stated maturity or upon redemption,

- 22 -

all of those U.S. Securities, provided that those U.S. Securities are by their terms to become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year.

The U.S. Indenture also provides that we may omit to comply with the restrictive covenants described under the caption “Negative Pledge” and certain other covenants and no Event of Default shall arise with respect to the U.S. Securities of that series by reason of this failure to comply (hereinafter called a “covenant defeasance”), upon the irrevocable deposit with the U.S. Trustee, in trust, of money and/or securities of the government which issued the currency in which the U.S. Securities of that series are payable or securities backed by the full faith and credit of that government which, through the payment of the principal thereof and the interest thereon in accordance with their terms, will provide money, in an amount sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent chartered accountants, to pay all the principal of and any premium and interest on the U.S. Securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the U.S. Securities of that series. Our other obligations with respect to the U.S. Securities of that series would remain in full force and effect. A covenant defeasance may be effected only if, among other things, (a) we have delivered to the U.S. Trustee an opinion of counsel (who may be our independent counsel) to the effect that the holders of U.S. Securities of that series should not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the covenant defeasance and should be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if that covenant defeasance had not occurred, and (b) we have delivered to the U.S. Trustee an opinion of counsel in Canada (who may be our independent counsel) or a ruling from the Canada Revenue Agency to the effect that the holders of the U.S. Securities of that series should not recognize income, gain or loss for Canadian federal or provincial income or other Canadian tax purposes as a result of that defeasance and should be subject to Canadian federal or provincial income and other Canadian tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if that defeasance had not occurred (and for the purposes of such opinion, such Canadian counsel shall assume that holders of the U.S. Securities include holders who are not resident in Canada).

In the event that we exercise our option to effect a covenant defeasance with respect to the U.S. Securities of any series and the U.S. Securities of that series are thereafter declared due and payable because of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the amount of money and securities on deposit with the U.S. Trustee would be sufficient to pay the amounts due on the U.S. Securities of that series at their respective stated maturities, but may not be sufficient to pay the amounts due on the U.S. Securities of that series at the time of the acceleration resulting from that Event of Default. However, we would remain liable for this deficiency.

Consent to Service

We have designated CT Corporation System, 28 Liberty Street, New York, New York, 10005 as our authorized agent for service of process in the United States in any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to the U.S. Indenture or the U.S. Securities and for actions brought under federal or state securities law in any federal or state court located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York and irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court.

Governing Law

The U.S. Indenture is, and the U.S. Securities will be, governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may sell Debt Securities: (i) to underwriters purchasing as principal; (ii) directly to one or more purchasers in accordance with applicable securities laws; or (iii) through agents. The Debt Securities may be sold at fixed prices or non-fixed prices, such as prices determined by reference to the prevailing price of the Debt Securities in a specified market, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices to be negotiated with purchasers, which prices may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution of the Debt Securities.

The prospectus supplement relating to each offering of Debt Securities will set forth the terms of the offering of those Debt Securities and the related guarantees by CPRL, including the name or names of any underwriters or agents, the purchase price of the Debt Securities, the proceeds to us, any underwriters’ or agents’ fees or other compensation, any public offering price, and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid. Only underwriters or agents named in the relevant prospectus supplement are deemed to be underwriters or agents in connection with the Debt Securities offered by that prospectus supplement.

If underwriters purchase Debt Securities as principal, the Debt Securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase those Debt Securities will be subject to certain conditions precedent, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the Debt Securities offered by the prospectus supplement if any of such Debt Securities are purchased. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid may be changed from time to time.

The Debt Securities may also be sold directly by us at prices and upon terms agreed to by the purchaser and us or through agents designated by us from time to time. Any agent involved in the offering and sale of the Debt Securities pursuant to a particular prospectus supplement will be named, and any commissions payable by us to that agent will be set forth, in such prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any agent would be acting on a reasonable commercial efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

We may agree to pay the underwriters a commission for various services relating to the issue and sale of any Debt Securities offered by this prospectus. Any such commission will be paid out of general funds. Underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the Debt Securities may be entitled under agreements to be entered into with us to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the U.S. Securities Act or to contribution with respect to payments which those underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. Those underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.

Each series of the Debt Securities will be a new issue of securities with no established trading market. Unless otherwise specified in an applicable prospectus supplement relating to a series of Debt Securities, the Debt Securities will not be listed on any securities exchange or on any automated dealer quotation system. Some broker-dealers may make a market in the Debt Securities, but they will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market-making activities at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for the Debt Securities of any series or that an active public market for the Debt Securities of any series will develop. If an active public trading market for the Debt Securities of any series does not develop, the market price and liquidity of such series of Debt Securities may be adversely affected.

The prospectus supplement will set forth the intention of any underwriters or agents who participate in the distribution of the Debt Securities to over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize the Debt Securities’ price at a higher level than that which might exist in the open market. Such transactions may be commenced, interrupted or discontinued at any time.

EARNINGS COVERAGE

Information regarding earnings coverage ratios will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the offering of Debt Securities, as required by applicable securities laws.

CERTAIN INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the material Canadian federal income tax consequences to investors of purchasing, owning and disposing of Debt Securities, including, in the case of an investor who is not a resident of Canada, whether payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest will be subject to Canadian non- resident withholding tax.

The applicable prospectus supplement will also describe certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Debt Securities by an investor who is a United States person, including, to the extent applicable, certain relevant U.S. federal income tax rules pertaining to capital gains and ordinary income treatment, original issue discount, backup withholding and the foreign tax credit, and any consequences relating to Debt Securities payable in a currency other than U.S. dollars, issued at an original discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes or containing early redemption provisions or other special terms.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the risk factors set forth below, additional risk factors relating to our business are discussed in CPRL’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, 2020 MD&A and 2021 Interim MD&A which risk factors are incorporated herein by reference.

Prospective purchasers of the Debt Securities should consider carefully the risk factors set forth below and those incorporated by reference as well as the other information contained in and incorporated by reference into this prospectus and contained in the applicable prospectus supplement before purchasing the Debt Securities offered hereby. If any event arising from these risks occurs, our or CPRL’s business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, or your investment in the Debt Securities could be materially adversely affected.

Additional Risks Related to the Debt Securities

There can be no assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for the Debt Securities or that a trading market for the Debt Securities will develop.

There is no public market for the Debt Securities and, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we do not intend to apply for listing of the Debt Securities on any securities exchanges. If the Debt Securities are traded after their initial issue, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering prices depending on prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities and other factors, including general economic conditions and our financial condition. There can be no assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for the Debt Securities or that a trading market for the Debt Securities will develop.

Credit ratings may not reflect all risks of an investment in the Debt Securities and may change.

Credit ratings may not reflect all risks associated with an investment in the Debt Securities. Any credit ratings applied to the Debt Securities will be an assessment of our ability to pay our obligations. Consequently, real or anticipated changes in the credit ratings will generally affect the market value of the Debt Securities. The credit ratings, however, may not reflect the potential impact of risks related to structure, market or other factors

- 25 -

discussed herein on the value of the Debt Securities. There is no assurance that any credit rating assigned to the Debt Securities will remain in effect for any given period of time or that any rating will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by the relevant rating agency.

Changes in interest rates may cause the value of the Debt Securities to decline.

Prevailing interest rates will affect the market price or value of the Debt Securities. The market price or value of the Debt Securities may decline as prevailing interest rates for comparable debt instruments rise, and increase as prevailing interest rates for comparable debt instruments decline.

Debt Securities denominated or payable in foreign currencies may entail foreign currencies risk.

Debt Securities denominated or payable in foreign currencies may entail significant risk. These risks include, without limitation, the possibility of significant fluctuations in the foreign currency markets, the imposition or modification of foreign exchange controls and potential illiquidity in the secondary market. These risks will vary depending upon the currency or currencies involved and will be more fully described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The Debt Securities and guarantee will be structurally subordinated to certain indebtedness of our and CPRL’s corporate and partnership subsidiaries.

Unless otherwise provided with respect to a series of Debt Securities, the Debt Securities will be our unsubordinated and unsecured obligation and will rank equally with all of our other unsecured, unsubordinated obligations. We conduct a substantial portion of our business through corporate and partnership subsidiaries. Our obligations under the Debt Securities will be structurally subordinate to all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities, including trade payables, of any of our corporate and partnership subsidiaries.

The guarantee will be CPRL’s unsubordinated and unsecured obligation and, unless otherwise provided with respect to a series of Debt Securities, will rank equally with all of CPRL’s other unsecured, unsubordinated obligations. CPRL conducts a substantial portion of its business through corporate and partnership subsidiaries. CPRL’s obligations under the guarantee will be structurally subordinate to all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities, including trade payables, of any of CPRL’s corporate and partnership subsidiaries.

LEGAL MATTERS

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a series of Debt Securities, certain legal matters relating to Canadian law will be passed upon for us and CPRL by Bennett Jones LLP, Calgary, Alberta, and certain legal matters relating to United States law will be passed upon for us and CPRL by Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, New York, New York.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

We and CPRL are incorporated and governed by the laws of Canada. A substantial portion of our and CPRL’s assets are located outside the United States and some or all of the directors and officers and some or all of the experts named herein are residents of Canada. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service within the United States upon us and CPRL and upon those directors, officers and experts, or to realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon our and CPRL’s civil liability and the civil liability of our and CPRL’s directors, officers or experts.
