Revenue was previously recognized for a certain contract within the Liquids Pipelines business unit using a formula-based method. Under the new revenue standard, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement in order to reflect the fulfillment of our performance obligation to provide up to a specified volume of pipeline capacity throughout the term of the contract.

Certain payments received from customers to offset the cost of constructing assets required to provide services to those customers, referred to as Contributions in Aid of Construction (CIACs) were previously recorded as reductions of property, plant and equipment regardless of whether the amounts were imposed by regulation or arose from negotiations with customers. Under the new revenue standard, CIACs which are negotiated as part of an agreement to provide transportation and other services to a customer are deemed to be advance payments for future services and are recognized as revenue when those future services are provided. Accordingly, negotiated CIACs are accounted for as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue over the term of the associated revenue contract. Amounts which are required to be collected from the customer based on requirements of the regulator continue to be accounted for as reductions of property, plant and equipment.

Valley Crossing Pipeline
- a natural gas pipeline connecting the Agua Dulce hub in Texas to an offshore tie-in with the Sur de Texas-Tuxpan project, which is being constructed by a third party. The project will help Mexico meet its growing gas fired electric generation needs by providing capacity of up to approximately 2.6 bcf/d. Based on an updated execution plan, the revised cost of the project is US$1.6 billion. This is roughly 12% above prior estimates and reflects scope changes, reroutes and offshore weather delays.

The pipeline is expected to be placed in service by the end of 2019. A second open season has been launched to secure additional volume commitments, which if fully subscribed, the pipeline could have an ultimate capacity of approximately one million barrels per day. We have secured an option to acquire an interest in the pipeline.

The growth in cash flow delivered by operations in the first quarter of 2018 is a reflection of the positive operating factors discussed under
Results of Operations
. The increase in operating cash flow was driven mainly from the contributions from new assets and distributions from additional long-term investments following the completion of the Merger Transaction.
|
•
|
Changes in operating assets and liabilities included within operating activities were $
622 million
and $
340 million
for the three months ended
March 31, 2018
and 2017, respectively. Our operating assets and liabilities fluctuate in the normal course due to various factors, including the impact of fluctuations in commodity prices and activity levels on working capital within the Energy Services and Gas Distribution segments, the timing of tax payments, as well as timing of cash receipts and payments generally.
|
•
|
The quarter-over-quarter decrease of cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to activity in the first quarter of 2017 that was not present in the first quarter of 2018, related primarily to the acquisition of an interest in the Bakken Pipeline System of $2.0 billion (US $1.5 billion), partially offset by cash acquired in the Merger Transaction of $0.7 billion and cash received from asset dispositions of $0.3 billion.
|
•
|
We are continuing with the execution of our growth capital program which is further described in
Growth Projects - Commercially Secured Projects
.
The timing of project approval, construction and in-service dates impacts the timing of cash requirements.
|
•
|
The quarter-over-quarter decrease in cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributable to repayments of maturing term notes and credit facilities. During the three months ended
March 31, 2018
, we issued hybrid securities, the proceeds of which were used to repay maturing term notes and credit facilities and to finance growth capital programs. Proceeds from the hybrid securities were primarily used to repay credit facilities and to repurchase or redeem Spectra Energy Capital, LLC’s outstanding senior unsecured notes as discussed in
Liquidity and Capital Resources - Long-Term Debt Repayments.
|
•
|
Finally, with the exception of dividends paid to Spectra Energy shareholders that were declared prior to the Merger Transaction, our common share dividend payments increased in the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to the increase in the common share dividend rate in the second and fourth quarters of 2017, as well as an increase in the number of common shares outstanding as a result of common shares issued in connection with the Merger Transaction.

Revenue was previously recognized for a certain contract within the Liquids Pipelines business unit using a formula-based method. Under the new revenue standard, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement in order to reflect the fulfillment of our performance obligation to provide up to a specified volume of pipeline capacity throughout the term of the contract.

Certain payments received from customers to offset the cost of constructing assets required to provide services to those customers, referred to as Contributions in Aid of Construction (CIACs) were previously recorded as reductions of property, plant and equipment regardless of whether the amounts were imposed by regulation or arose from negotiations with customers. Under the new revenue standard, CIACs which are negotiated as part of an agreement to provide transportation and other services to a customer are deemed to be advance payments for future services and are recognized as revenue when those future services are provided. Accordingly, negotiated CIACs are accounted for as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue over the term of the associated revenue contract. Amounts which are required to be collected from the customer based on requirements of the regulator continue to be accounted for as reductions of property, plant and equipment.

Introduction
|

The Plan was
originally
established effective January 1, 2000
, and was amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2005.
The Plan is hereby restated effective as of January 1, 2018 to incorporate prior amendments and to harmonize with restatements to the underlying registered pension plans also made effective as of that date. The purposes of the Plan are:
|
(a)
|
to ensure that Senior Management Employees receive retirement benefits in accordance with the Senior Management Pension Plan,

(b)
|
to ensure that, where agreed to by the Parent, Employees who are not Senior Management Employees receive certain retirement benefits as defined in the
EGD
Plan and the EI Plan without limitation due to Maximum Pension Rules or Maximum DC Pension Rules, and
|
(c)
|
to ensure that Members receive any retirement benefits agreed to by the Parent within a Member’s executive employment agreement.
|
1.1.02
|
With the exception of Article 4, the provisions of the Plan apply to Members for whom the earlier of retirement, termination of employment with a Participating Employer or death occurs on or after January 1, 2000.

|
1.1.03
|
The Plan is not a registered pension plan under the Income Tax Act or under Canadian Pension Laws. Any contributions made to the Plan with respect to benefits earned while a Member is not
(i)
a US Tax Resident
, (ii) a
US Expatriate
or (iii) otherwise subject to Code Section 409A,
will be deposited in the RCA Fund and are to be considered as contributions to retirement compensation arrangements under the Income Tax Act. Any contributions made to the Plan with respect to benefits earned by a Member while he is a US
Expatriate or otherwise subject to Code Section 409A,
will be deposited in the Grantor Trust Fund.
|
1.1.04
|
The Plan is intended to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A for any benefits accrued or payable under the Plan to or on behalf of a Member who is subject to United States federal income taxation, but only to the extent such Member’s benefits are subject to Code Section 409A, and do not satisfy any

|
the Parent shall not be obligated to make any further contributions to the Plan with respect to the Members employed by such Participating Employer,

the assets allocated to the relevant Participating Employer Account shall be allocated for the provision of benefits accrued by Members in respect of their employment with the Participating Employer, and

RCA trust (as defined in subsection 207.5(1) of the Income Tax Act) established by the
purchaser or (b) a grantor

DEFINED TERMS

|
PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES
|
(a)
|
The purpose of this Plan is to provide a compensation system for Directors. This Plan applies only to the members of the Board and does not apply to board members of affiliate organizations or employees of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries.
|
(b)
|
The objectives of this Plan are:
|
(i)
|
to compensate Directors commensurate with the risks, responsibilities and time commitments assumed by Board members;
|
(ii)
|
to attract and retain the services of the most qualified individuals to serve on the Board;
|
(iii)
|
to align the interests of Directors with the Corporation’s shareholders;
|
(iv)
|
to provide competitive levels of compensation by considering various pay components typically provided to directors; and
|
(v)
|
to deliver such compensation in a tax effective manner.
|
(c)
|
The Board provides oversight and stewardship over this Plan through the Governance Committee and has overall responsibility for determining the philosophical framework of the Directors’ compensation program.
|

|
ADMINISTRATION
|
4.
|
EXTERNAL BENCHMARKING
|
(a)
|
The Board supports maintaining a level of compensation for Directors that is competitive with compensation levels paid to directors of comparable public corporations; reflects the risks accompanying Board membership and the time commitments and responsibilities required of Directors, committee members and Board or Committee Chairs; and reflects the size and complexity of the Corporation’s business.
|
(b)
|
The Governance Committee will, from time to time, with the assistance of qualified external experts in the area of compensation benchmarking, review and determine the appropriate comparable public corporations against which comparisons are made (the
“Comparator Group”
) with the intention that such Comparator Group be consistent with the periodic evaluation of executive management compensation.
|
(c)
|
To the extent possible and appropriate, the Governance Committee shall align the Comparator Group with the group used to benchmark executive management compensation practices as approved by the Human Resources & Compensation Committee (refer to Enbridge Inc. senior management compensation policy C
ompensation Comparators)

|
General
|
(a)
|
Fee Structure and Payment Particulars
|
(i)
|
Compensation will be made on the basis of a flat fee structure that incorporates all Board, committee, and Chair retainers as determined by the Board. The Board’s policy is to target flat fee levels at the 50
th
percentile of total compensation levels paid to directors of the Comparator Group (as defined in Section 4).
|
(ii)
|
As of January 1, 2018, Compensation shall be as set out in Appendix “A”. Changes to Appendix “A” may be made by the Board following a recommendation of or consultation with the Governance Committee. Upon any such change being approved by the Board, a new Appendix “A” incorporating the changes and effective as of the date established by the Board shall be attached to the Plan and become Appendix “A” for all purposes of the Plan.
|
(iii)
|
Compensation is paid quarterly, in arrears. All Directors, regardless of country of residency, shall be paid in US dollars.
|
(iv)
|
A percentage of the Compensation may be withheld in cases where a Director’s attendance at Board meetings or Committee meetings or both, falls below the established minimum. The Governance Committee will review the continuation of the Director on the Board if an inordinate number of meetings are missed.
|
(v)
|
At any time, the Board, on the recommendation of the Governance Committee, may grant to Directors a Bonus Retainer in the form of a direct grant of DSUs. For U.S. Taxpayers only, DSUs comprising a Bonus Retainer shall be payable on December 31 of the year following the year of the Director’s Retirement Date and no U.S. Taxpayer shall be permitted to elect the form or timing of payment of any portion of a Bonus Retainer.
