FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Forward-looking information, or forward-looking statements, have been included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q to provide information about us and our subsidiaries and affiliates, including management’s assessment of our and our subsidiaries’ future plans and operations. This information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as ‘‘anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “forecast”, “intend”, “likely”, “plan”, “project”, “target” and similar words suggesting future outcomes or statements regarding an outlook. Forward-looking information or statements included or incorporated by reference in this document include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the following: expected earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA); expected earnings/(loss); expected earnings/(loss) per share; expected future cash flows; expected performance of the Liquids Pipelines, Gas Transmission and Midstream, Gas Distribution, Renewable Power Generation and Transmission, and Energy Services businesses; financial strength and flexibility; expectations on sources of liquidity and sufficiency of financial resources; expected costs related to announced projects and projects under construction; expected in-service dates for announced projects and projects under construction; expected capital expenditures; expected equity funding requirements for our commercially secured growth program; expected future growth and expansion opportunities; expectations about our joint venture partners’ ability to complete and finance projects under construction; expected closing of acquisitions and dispositions and expected timing thereof; estimated future dividends; expected future actions of regulators; expected costs related to leak remediation and potential insurance recoveries; expectations regarding commodity prices; supply forecasts; expectations regarding the impact of the stock-for-stock merger transaction completed on February 27, 2017 between Enbridge and Spectra Energy Corp (the Merger Transaction) including our combined scale, financial flexibility, growth program, future business prospects and performance; United States Line 3 Replacement Program (U.S. L3R Program); expected impact of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) policy on treatment of income taxes; the transactions undertaken to simplify our corporate structure; our dividend payout policy; dividend growth and dividend payout expectation; expectations on impact of our hedging program; and expectations resulting from the successful execution of our 2018-2020 Strategic Plan.

Although we believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable based on the information available on the date such statements are made and processes used to prepare the information, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and readers are cautioned against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements. By their nature, these statements involve a variety of assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results, levels of activity and achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Material assumptions include assumptions about the following: the expected supply of and demand for crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGL) and renewable energy; prices of crude oil, natural gas, NGL and renewable energy; exchange rates; inflation; interest rates; availability and price of labor and construction materials; operational reliability; customer and regulatory approvals; maintenance of support and regulatory approvals for our projects; anticipated in-service dates; weather; the timing and closing of dispositions; the realization of anticipated benefits and synergies of the Merger Transaction; governmental legislation; acquisitions and the timing thereof; the success of integration plans; impact of the dividend policy on our future cash flows; credit ratings; capital project funding; expected EBITDA; expected earnings/(loss); expected earnings/(loss) per share; expected future cash flows and estimated future dividends. Assumptions regarding the expected supply of and demand for crude oil, natural gas, NGL and renewable energy, and the prices of these commodities, are material to and underlie all forward-looking statements, as they may impact current and future levels of demand for our services. Similarly, exchange rates, inflation and interest rates impact the economies and business environments in which we operate and may impact levels of demand for our services and cost of inputs, and are therefore inherent in all forward-looking statements. Due to the interdependencies and correlation of these macroeconomic factors, the impact of any one assumption on a forward-looking statement cannot be determined with certainty, particularly with

respect to the impact of the Merger Transaction on us, expected EBITDA, expected earnings/(loss), expected earnings/(loss) per share, or estimated future dividends. The most relevant assumptions associated with forward-looking statements regarding announced projects and projects under construction, including estimated completion dates and expected capital expenditures, include the following: the availability and price of labor and construction materials; the effects of inflation and foreign exchange rates on labor and material costs; the effects of interest rates on borrowing costs; the impact of weather and customer, government and regulatory approvals on construction and in-service schedules and cost recovery regimes.

Our forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties pertaining to the realization of anticipated benefits and synergies of the Merger Transaction, operating performance, regulatory parameters, changes in regulations applicable to our business, dispositions, the transactions undertaken to simplify our corporate structure, our dividend policy, project approval and support, renewals of rights-of-way, weather, economic and competitive conditions, public opinion, changes in tax laws and tax rates, changes in trade agreements, exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices, political decisions and supply of and demand for commodities, including but not limited to those risks and uncertainties discussed in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and in our other filings with Canadian and United States securities regulators. The impact of any one risk, uncertainty or factor on a particular forward-looking statement is not determinable with certainty as these are interdependent and our future course of action depends on management’s assessment of all information available at the relevant time. Except to the extent required by applicable law, Enbridge Inc. assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements made in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q or otherwise, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Enbridge Inc. ("we", "our", "us" and "Enbridge") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and Regulation S-X for interim consolidated financial information. They do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with our audited updated consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 10, 2019. In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods reported. These interim consolidated financial statements follow the same significant accounting policies as those included in our audited updated consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, except for the adoption of new standards (Note 2). Amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.
 
Our operations and earnings for interim periods can be affected by seasonal fluctuations within the gas distribution utility businesses, as well as other factors such as the supply of and demand for crude oil and natural gas, and may not be indicative of annual results.

2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
ADOPTION OF NEW STANDARDS
Cloud Computing Arrangements
Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-15 on a prospective basis. The new standard was issued to provide guidance on the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement (CCA) that is a service contract. The ASU specifies that an entity would apply Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350-40, Internal-use software, to determine which implementation costs related to a hosting arrangement that is a service contract should be capitalized and which should be expensed. The amendments in the update also require that the capitalized costs be amortized on a straight-line basis generally over the term of the arrangement and presented in the same income statement line as fees paid for the hosting service, in addition to specifying that the capitalized costs must be presented on the same balance sheet line as the prepayment of fees related to the hosting arrangement. The ASU requires similar consistency in classifications from a cash flow statement perspective. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities
Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2017-12 on a modified retrospective basis. The new standard was issued with the objective of better aligning a company’s risk management activities and the resulting hedge accounting reflected in the financial statements. The amendments allow cash flow hedging of contractually specified components in financial and non-financial items. As a result of the new standard, hedge ineffectiveness will no longer be measured or recorded, and hedging instruments’ fair value changes will be recorded in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The adoption of this accounting update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.



12


Amending the Amortization Period for Certain Callable Debt Securities Purchased at a Premium
Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2017-08 on a modified retrospective basis. The new standard was issued with the intent of shortening the amortization period to the earliest call date for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. The adoption of this accounting update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recognition of Leases
Effective January 1, 2019 we adopted ASU 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) using the modified retrospective approach.

We recognize an arrangement as a lease when a customer has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of an asset, as well as the right to direct the use of the asset. We recognize right-of-use (ROU) assets and the related lease liabilities on the statement of financial position for operating lease arrangements with a term of 12 months or longer. We do not separate non-lease components from the associated lease components of our lessee contracts and account for both components as a single lease component. We combine lease and non-lease components within a contract for operating lessor leases when certain conditions are met. ROU assets are assessed for impairment using the same approach as is applied for other long-lived assets, as described under the Impairment section of the Significant Accounting Policies Note 2 in the annual consolidated financial statements.

Lease liabilities and ROU assets require the use of judgment and estimates, which are applied in determining the term of a lease, appropriate discount rates, whether an arrangement contains a lease, whether there are any indicators of impairment for ROU assets and whether any ROU assets should be grouped with other long-lived assets for impairment testing.

In adopting Topic 842, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance. The election to apply the package of practical expedients allows an entity to not apply the new lease standard to the prior year comparative periods in the year of adoption. The application of the package of practical expedients also permits entities not to reassess whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases in accordance with the new guidance, lease classifications, and whether initial direct costs capitalized under current guidance continue to meet the definition of initial direct costs under the new guidance. We also elected the practical expedient related to land easements, allowing us to carry forward our accounting treatment for land easements on existing agreements that had commenced prior to January 1, 2019.

On January 1, 2019, ROU assets and corresponding lease liabilities of $771 million were recorded in connection with the adoption of Topic 842. When added to the $85 million of pre-existing liabilities relating to operating leases for which we no longer utilize the leased assets, total lease liabilities at January 1, 2019 were $856 million. All lease liabilities were measured using a weighted average discount rate of 4.32%. The adoption of this standard had no impact to the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Comprehensive Income, Changes in Equity or Cash Flows during the period.



13


FUTURE ACCOUNTING POLICY CHANGES
Clarifying Interaction between Collaborative Arrangements and Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In November 2018, ASU 2018-18 was issued to provide clarity on when transactions between entities in a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under the new revenue standard, ASC 606. In determining whether transactions in collaborative arrangements should be accounted under the revenue standard, the update specifies that entities shall apply unit of account guidance to identify distinct goods or services and whether such goods and services are separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. ASU 2018-18 also precludes entities from presenting transactions with a collaborative partner which are not in scope of the new revenue standard together with revenue from contracts with customers. The accounting update is effective January 1, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities
ASU 2018-17 was issued in October 2018 to improve the related party guidance on determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers (“decision-maker fees”) are variable interests. Under the new guidance, reporting entities must consider indirect interests held through related parties in common control arrangements on a proportionate basis, rather than as the equivalent of a direct interest in its entirety, when determining if a decision maker’s fees constitute a variable interest. The accounting update is effective January 1, 2020 and must be applied on a retrospective basis. We are currently assessing the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

Disclosure Effectiveness
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued two amendments as a part of its disclosure framework project aimed to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements.

ASU 2018-14 was issued in August 2018 to improve disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The amendment modifies the current guidance by adding and removing several disclosure requirements while also clarifying the guidance on current disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-14 is effective January 1, 2021 and entities are permitted to adopt the standard early. We are currently assessing the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2018-13 was issued to improve the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by eliminating and modifying some disclosures, while also adding new disclosures. This update is effective January 1, 2020, however entities are permitted to early adopt the eliminated or modified disclosures. We are currently assessing the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Credit Losses
ASU 2016-13 was issued in June 2016 with the intent of providing financial statement users with more useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. Current treatment uses the incurred loss methodology for recognizing credit losses that delay the recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. The accounting update adds a new impairment model, known as the current expected credit loss model, which is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity will recognize as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which the Financial Accounting Standards Board believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses.

Further, ASU 2018-19 was issued in November 2018 to clarify that operating lease receivables should be accounted for under the new leases standard, ASC 842, and are not within the scope of ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. Both accounting updates are effective January 1, 2020. We are currently assessing the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

Contract receivables represent the amount of receivables derived from contracts with customers. Contract assets represent the amount of revenues which has been recognized in advance of payments received for performance obligations we have fulfilled (or partially fulfilled) and prior to the point in time at which our right to the payment is unconditional. Amounts included in contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable when our right to the consideration becomes unconditional.

Contract liabilities represent payments received for performance obligations which have not been fulfilled. Contract liabilities primarily relate to make-up rights and deferred revenues. Revenues recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2019 included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period is $92 million. Increases in contract liabilities from cash received, net of amounts recognized as revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $74 million.
Performance Obligations
There was no material revenues recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2019 from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods.

Revenues to be Recognized from Unfulfilled Performance Obligations
Total revenues from performance obligations expected to be fulfilled in future periods is $66.7 billion, of which $5.3 billion and $5.8 billion is expected to be recognized during the nine months ending December 31, 2019, and the year ending December 31, 2020, respectively.

The revenues excluded from the amounts above based on optional exemptions available under ASC 606, as explained below, represent a significant portion of our overall revenues and revenues from contracts with customers. Certain revenues such as flow-through operating costs charged to shippers are recognized at the amount for which we have the right to invoice our customers and are excluded from the amounts for revenues to be recognized in the future from unfulfilled performance obligations above. Variable consideration is excluded from the amounts above due to the uncertainty of the associated consideration, which is generally resolved when actual volumes and prices are determined. For example, we consider interruptible transportation service revenues to be variable revenues since volumes cannot be estimated. Additionally, the effect of escalation on certain tolls which are contractually escalated for inflation has not been reflected in the amounts above as it is not possible to reliably estimate future inflation rates. Revenues for periods extending beyond the current rate settlement term for regulated contracts where the tolls are periodically reset by the regulator are excluded from the amounts above since future tolls remain unknown. Finally, revenues from contracts with customers which have an original expected duration of one year or less are excluded from the amounts above.

5. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE AND DIVIDENDS PER SHARE
 
BASIC
Earnings per common share is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding has been reduced by our pro-rata weighted average interest in our own common shares of 6 million and 13 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, resulting from our reciprocal investment in Noverco Inc.
 
DILUTED
The treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive impact of stock options. This method assumes any proceeds from the exercise of stock options would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period.

Weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, 10,495,198 and 29,882,142, respectively, anti-dilutive stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $55.32 and $49.80, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per common share calculation.

6. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

ACQUISITIONS
In January 2019, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Enbridge Pipelines (Athabasca) Inc., we acquired 75 kilometers of existing pipeline and tankage infrastructure (collectively, the Cheecham Assets) from Athabasca Oil Corporation for cash consideration of approximately $265 million, all of which was allocated to property, plant and equipment. The Cheecham Assets are a part of our Liquids Pipelines segment. The cash consideration is included in capital expenditures on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019.



19


ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
Enbridge Gas New Brunswick
In December 2018, we entered into an agreement for the sale of Enbridge Gas New Brunswick Limited Partnership and Enbridge Gas New Brunswick Inc. (collectively, EGNB) to Liberty Utilities (Canada) LP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Algonquin Power and Utilities Corp., for a cash purchase price of $331 million, subject to customary closing adjustments. EGNB operates and maintains natural gas distribution pipelines in southern New Brunswick, and its related assets are included in our Gas Distribution segment. Subject to certain regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, the transaction is expected to close in 2019.

Canadian Natural Gas Gathering and Processing Businesses
On July 4, 2018, we entered into agreements to sell our Canadian natural gas gathering and processing businesses to Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. and its institutional partners for a cash purchase price of approximately $4.3 billion, subject to customary closing adjustments. Separate agreements were entered into for those facilities currently governed by provincial regulations and those governed by federal regulations. On October 1, 2018, we closed the sale of the provincially regulated facilities for proceeds of approximately $2.5 billion. Subject to certain regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, the sale of the federally regulated facilities is expected to close in mid-2019 for proceeds of approximately $1.8 billion.

Line 10 Crude Oil Pipeline
In the first quarter of 2018, we satisfied the conditions as set out in our agreements for the sale of our Line 10 crude oil pipeline (Line 10), which originates near Hamilton, Ontario and terminates at West Seneca, New York. Our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Enbridge Pipelines Inc. and Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P. (EEP), own the Canadian and United States portions of Line 10. Subject to certain regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, the transaction is expected to close in 2019.

St. Lawrence Gas Company, Inc.
In August 2017, we entered into an agreement to sell the issued and outstanding shares of St. Lawrence Gas Company, Inc. for cash proceeds of approximately $94 million (US$70 million). Subject to regulatory approval and certain pre-closing conditions, the transaction is expected to close in 2019.

7. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

Gray Oak Holdings LLC
In December 2018, Enbridge acquired an effective 22.8% interest in the Gray Oak crude oil pipeline through acquisition of a 35% membership interest in Gray Oak Holdings LLC (Gray Oak Holdings), which will construct and operate the Gray Oak crude oil pipeline from Texas to the Gulf coast of the United States.

Gray Oak Holdings is a variable interest entity (VIE) as it does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities and requires subordinated financial support from Enbridge and other partners. We have determined that we do not have the power to direct the activities of Gray Oak Holdings that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. Specifically, the power to direct the activities of the VIE is shared amongst the partners. Each partner has representatives that make up an executive committee that makes the significant decisions for the VIE and none of the partners may make major decisions unilaterally. Therefore, the VIE is accounted for as an unconsolidated VIE.

As at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the carrying amount of the investment in Gray Oak Holdings was $455 million and nil, respectively. Enbridge's maximum exposure to loss as at March 31, 2019 was approximately $931 million and primarily consists of our portion of the project construction costs.

On March 29, 2019, we and our partners of the Gray Oak Holdings investment executed a loan agreement to loan up to a maximum of US$1,230 million to the investment to finance the construction of the Gray Oak crude oil pipeline. The amount committed by us is US$280 million, which is proportionate to our effective ownership interest. Loans under this agreement are due on March 31, 2022, with early repayment permitted.
 
8.
DEBT

On January 22, 2019, Enbridge entered into supplemental indentures with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Spectra Energy Partners, LP (SEP) and EEP (together, the Partnerships), pursuant to which Enbridge fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, the payment obligations of the Partnerships with respect to the outstanding series of notes issued under the respective indentures of the Partnerships. Concurrently, the Partnerships entered into a subsidiary guarantee agreement pursuant to which they guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, the outstanding series of senior notes of Enbridge. See Note 16 - Condensed Consolidating Financial Information for further discussion.

On February 7, 2019 and February 8, 2019, we terminated certain Canadian and United States dollar credit facilities, including facilities held by Enbridge, EGI, EEP and SEP. We also increased existing facilities or obtained new facilities to replace the terminated ones under Enbridge, Enbridge (U.S.) Inc. and EGI. As a result, our total credit facility availability increased by approximately $444 million.

In addition to the committed credit facilities noted above, we maintain $800 million of uncommitted demand credit facilities, of which $516 million were unutilized as at March 31, 2019. As at December 31, 2018, we had $807 million of uncommitted credit facilities, of which $548 million were unutilized.

Our credit facilities carry a weighted average standby fee of 0.1% per annum on the unused portion and draws bear interest at market rates. Certain credit facilities serve as a back-stop to the commercial paper programs and we have the option to extend such facilities, which are currently scheduled to mature from 2020 to 2024.

As at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, commercial paper and credit facility draws, net of short-term borrowings and non-revolving credit facilities that mature within one year of $10,689 million and $7,967 million, respectively, were supported by the availability of long-term committed credit facilities and therefore have been classified as long-term debt.

FAIR VALUE ADJUSTMENT
As at March 31, 2019, the net fair value adjustment for total debt assumed in the Spectra Energy merger transaction was $930 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the amortization of the fair value adjustment, recorded as a reduction to Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, was $17 million.

DEBT COVENANTS
Our credit facility agreements and term debt indentures include standard events of default and covenant provisions whereby accelerated repayment and/or termination of the agreements may result if we were to default on payment or violate certain covenants. As at March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.

10. NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
 
Preferred Shares Redemption
On March 20, 2019, Westcoast Energy Inc. exercised its right to redeem all of its outstanding 5.5% Cumulative Redeemable First Preferred Shares, Series 7 ("Series 7 Shares") and all of its outstanding 5.6% Cumulative Redeemable First Preferred Shares, Series 8 ("Series 8 Shares") at a price of $25.00 per Series 7 Share and $25.00 per Series 8 Share, respectively, for a total payment of $300 million. In addition, payment of $4 million was made for all accrued and unpaid dividends. As a result, we recorded a $300 million decrease in Noncontrolling interests.

11. RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

MARKET RISK
Our earnings, cash flows and Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) are subject to movements in foreign exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices and our share price (collectively, market risks). Formal risk management policies, processes and systems have been designed to mitigate these risks.
 
The following summarizes the types of market risks to which we are exposed and the risk management instruments used to mitigate them. We use a combination of qualifying and non-qualifying derivative instruments to manage the risks noted below.
 
Foreign Exchange Risk
We generate certain revenues, incur expenses, and hold a number of investments and subsidiaries that are denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars. As a result, our earnings, cash flows and OCI are exposed to fluctuations resulting from foreign exchange rate variability.
 
We employ financial derivative instruments to hedge foreign currency denominated earnings exposure. A combination of qualifying and non-qualifying derivative instruments is used to hedge anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses, and to manage variability in cash flows. We hedge


24


certain net investments in United States dollar denominated investments and subsidiaries using foreign currency derivatives and United States dollar denominated debt.
 
Interest Rate Risk
Our earnings and cash flows are exposed to short-term interest rate variability due to the regular repricing of our variable rate debt, primarily commercial paper. Pay fixed-receive floating interest rate swaps may be used to hedge against the effect of future interest rate movements. We have implemented a program to significantly mitigate the impact of short-term interest rate volatility on interest expense via execution of floating to fixed interest rate swaps with an average swap rate of 2.8%.

We are exposed to changes in the fair value of fixed rate debt that arise as a result of the changes in market interest rates. Pay floating-receive fixed interest rate swaps are used, when applicable, to hedge against future changes to the fair value of fixed rate debt which mitigates the impact of fluctuations in the fair value of fixed rate debt via execution of fixed to floating interest rate swaps. As at March 31, 2019, we do not have any pay floating-receive fixed interest rate swaps outstanding.
 
Our earnings and cash flows are also exposed to variability in longer term interest rates ahead of anticipated fixed rate term debt issuances. Forward starting interest rate swaps are used to hedge against the effect of future interest rate movements. We have established a program within some of our subsidiaries to mitigate our exposure to long-term interest rate variability on select forecast term debt issuances via execution of floating to fixed interest rate swaps with an average swap rate of 3%.
 


25


We also monitor our debt portfolio mix of fixed and variable rate debt instruments to manage a consolidated portfolio of floating rate debt within the Board of Directors approved policy limit of a maximum of 30% of floating rate debt as a percentage of total debt outstanding. We primarily use qualifying derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk.
 
Commodity Price Risk
Our earnings and cash flows are exposed to changes in commodity prices as a result of our ownership interests in certain assets and investments, as well as through the activities of our energy services subsidiaries. These commodities include natural gas, crude oil, power and NGL. We employ financial and physical derivative instruments to fix a portion of the variable price exposures that arise from physical transactions involving these commodities. We use primarily non-qualifying derivative instruments to manage commodity price risk.
 
Equity Price Risk
Equity price risk is the risk of earnings fluctuations due to changes in our share price. We have exposure to our own common share price through the issuance of various forms of stock-based compensation, which affect earnings through revaluation of the outstanding units every period. We use equity derivatives to manage the earnings volatility derived from one form of stock-based compensation, restricted share units. We use a combination of qualifying and non-qualifying derivative instruments to manage equity price risk.
 
TOTAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The following table summarizes the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position location and carrying value of our derivative instruments.
 
We generally have a policy of entering into individual International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. agreements, or other similar derivative agreements, with the majority of our financial derivative counterparties. These agreements provide for the net settlement of derivative instruments outstanding with specific counterparties in the event of bankruptcy or other significant credit events, and reduce our credit risk exposure on financial derivative asset positions outstanding with the counterparties in those circumstances. The following table summarizes the maximum potential settlement amounts in the event of these specific circumstances. All amounts are presented gross in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

3
Reported within Transportation and other services revenues, Commodity sales revenues, Commodity costs and Operating and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
4
Reported within Operating and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

We estimate that a loss of $36 million of AOCI related to unrealized cash flow hedges will be reclassified to earnings in the next 12 months. Actual amounts reclassified to earnings depend on the foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices in effect when derivative contracts that are currently outstanding mature. For all forecasted transactions, the maximum term over which we are hedging exposures to the variability of cash flows is 33 months as at March 31, 2019.
 
Fair Value Derivatives
For interest rate derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk is included in Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

LIQUIDITY RISK
 
Liquidity risk is the risk that we will not be able to meet our financial obligations, including commitments and guarantees, as they become due. In order to mitigate this risk, we forecast cash requirements over a 12 month rolling time period to determine whether sufficient funds will be available and maintain substantial capacity under our committed bank lines of credit to address any contingencies. Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are funds generated from operations, the issuance of commercial paper and draws under committed credit facilities and long-term debt, which includes debentures and medium-term notes. We also maintain current shelf prospectuses with securities regulators which enables, subject to market conditions, ready access to either the Canadian or United States public capital markets. In addition, we maintain sufficient liquidity through committed credit facilities with a diversified group of banks and institutions which, if necessary, enables us to fund all anticipated requirements for approximately one year without accessing the capital markets. We are in compliance with all the terms and conditions of our committed credit facility agreements and term debt indentures as at March 31, 2019. As a result, all credit facilities are available to us and the banks are obligated to fund and have been funding us under the terms of the facilities.
 
CREDIT RISK
 
Entering into derivative instruments may result in exposure to credit risk from the possibility that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations. In order to mitigate this risk, we enter into risk management transactions primarily with institutions that possess strong investment grade credit ratings. Credit risk relating to derivative counterparties is mitigated through maintenance and monitoring of credit exposure limits and contractual requirements, netting arrangements, and ongoing monitoring of counterparty credit exposure using external credit rating services and other analytical tools.

As at March 31, 2019, we provided letters of credit totaling nil in lieu of providing cash collateral to our counterparties pursuant to the terms of the relevant International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) agreements. We held no cash collateral on derivative asset exposures as at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
 
Gross derivative balances have been presented without the effects of collateral posted. Derivative assets are adjusted for non-performance risk of our counterparties using their credit default swap spread rates, and are reflected at fair value. For derivative liabilities, our non-performance risk is considered in the valuation.

Credit risk also arises from trade and other long-term receivables, and is mitigated through credit exposure limits and contractual requirements, assessment of credit ratings and netting arrangements. Within EGI, credit risk is mitigated by the utilities' large and diversified customer base and the ability to recover an estimate for doubtful accounts through the ratemaking process. We actively monitor the financial strength of large industrial customers, and in select cases, have obtained additional security to minimize the risk of default on receivables. Generally, we classify and provide for receivables older than 30 days as past due. The maximum exposure to credit risk related to non-derivative financial assets is their carrying value.
 
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include derivative instruments. We also disclose the fair value of other financial instruments not measured at fair value. The fair value of financial instruments reflects our best estimates of market value based on generally accepted valuation techniques or models and is supported by observable market prices and rates. When such values are not available, we use discounted cash flow analysis from applicable yield curves based on observable market inputs to estimate fair value.
 
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We categorize our derivative instruments measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement.

Level 1
Level 1 includes derivatives measured at fair value based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date. An active market for a derivative is considered to be a market where transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Our Level 1 instruments consist primarily of exchange-traded derivatives used to mitigate the risk of crude oil price fluctuations.
 


32


Level 2
Level 2 includes derivative valuations determined using directly or indirectly observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1. Derivatives in this category are valued using models or other industry standard valuation techniques derived from observable market data. Such valuation techniques include inputs such as quoted forward prices, time value, volatility factors and broker quotes that can be observed or corroborated in the market for the entire duration of the derivative. Derivatives valued using Level 2 inputs include non-exchange traded derivatives such as over-the-counter foreign exchange forward and cross currency swap contracts, interest rate swaps, physical forward commodity contracts, as well as commodity swaps and options for which observable inputs can be obtained.

We have also categorized the fair value of our held to maturity preferred share investment and long-term debt as Level 2. The fair value of our held to maturity preferred share investment is primarily based on the yield of certain Government of Canada bonds. The fair value of our long-term debt is based on quoted market prices for instruments of similar yield, credit risk and tenor.
 
Level 3
Level 3 includes derivative valuations based on inputs which are less observable, unavailable or where the observable data does not support a significant portion of the derivatives’ fair value. Generally, Level 3 derivatives are longer dated transactions, occur in less active markets, occur at locations where pricing information is not available or have no binding broker quote to support Level 2 classification. We have developed methodologies, benchmarked against industry standards, to determine fair value for these derivatives based on extrapolation of observable future prices and rates. Derivatives valued using Level 3 inputs primarily include long-dated derivative power contracts and NGL and natural gas contracts, basis swaps, commodity swaps, power and energy swaps, as well as options. We do not have any other financial instruments categorized in Level 3.
 
We use the most observable inputs available to estimate the fair value of our derivatives. When possible, we estimate the fair value of our derivatives based on quoted market prices. If quoted market prices are not available, we use estimates from third party brokers. For non-exchange traded derivatives classified in Levels 2 and 3, we use standard valuation techniques to calculate the estimated fair value. These methods include discounted cash flows for forwards and swaps and Black-Scholes-Merton pricing models for options. Depending on the type of derivative and nature of the underlying risk, we use observable market prices (interest, foreign exchange, commodity and share price) and volatility as primary inputs to these valuation techniques. Finally, we consider our own credit default swap spread as well as the credit default swap spreads associated with our counterparties in our estimation of fair value.

If adjusted, the significant unobservable inputs disclosed in the table above would have a direct impact on the fair value of our Level 3 derivative instruments. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of Level 3 derivative instruments include forward commodity prices, and for option contracts, price volatility. Changes in forward commodity prices could result in significantly different fair values for our Level 3 derivatives. Changes in price volatility would change the value of the option contracts. Generally, a change in the estimate of forward commodity prices is unrelated to a change in the estimate of price volatility.

Changes in net fair value of derivative assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy were as follows:

Our policy is to recognize transfers as at the last day of the reporting period. There were no transfers between levels as at March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

FAIR VALUE OF OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Our other long-term investments in other entities with no actively quoted prices are classified as Fair Value Measurement Alternative (FVMA) investments and are recorded at cost less impairment (if any), plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. The carrying value of FVMA other long-term investments totaled $101 million and $102 million as at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
 
We have Restricted long-term investments held in trust totaling $356 million and $323 million as at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which are recognized at fair value.
 
We have a held to maturity preferred share investment carried at its amortized cost of $582 million and $478 million as at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. These preferred shares are entitled to a cumulative preferred dividend based on the yield of 10-year Government of Canada bonds plus a margin of 4.38%. The fair value of this preferred share investment approximates its face value of $582 million and $580 million as at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 respectively.
 
As at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our long-term debt had a carrying value of $65.3 billion and $63.9 billion, respectively, before debt issuance costs and a fair value of $68.9 billion and $64.4 billion, respectively. We also have noncurrent notes receivable carried at book value recorded in Deferred amounts and other assets in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. As at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the noncurrent notes receivable had a carrying value of $95 million and $97 million, respectively, and a fair value of $95 million and $97 million, respectively.

The fair value of other financial assets and liabilities other than derivative instruments, other long-term investments, restricted long-term investments, long-term debt and non-current notes receivable described above approximate their cost due to the short period to maturity.
 
NET INVESTMENT HEDGES
We have designated a portion of our United States dollar denominated debt, as well as a portfolio of foreign exchange forward contracts, as a hedge of our net investment in United States dollar denominated investments and subsidiaries.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we recognized an unrealized foreign exchange gain of $108 million and an unrealized foreign exchange loss of $194 million, respectively, on the translation of United States dollar denominated debt and unrealized gains of $1 million and $15 million, respectively, on the change in fair value of our outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts in OCI. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we recognized realized losses of nil and $23 million, respectively, in OCI associated with the settlement of foreign exchange forward contracts and recognized realized losses of nil and $11 million, respectively, in OCI associated with the settlement of United States dollar denominated debt that had matured during the period. There was no ineffectiveness during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

12. INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were 22.4% and (16.7)%, respectively. The period-over-period increase in the effective income tax rate is due to the effects of rate-regulated accounting for income taxes and other permanent items relative to the increase in earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Also contributing to the period-over-period increase in the effective income tax rate was the buy-in of our United States sponsored vehicles which results in Enbridge being taxed on all of our United States sponsored vehicle earnings rather than on just our proportionate share.

15. CONTINGENCIES
 
We and our subsidiaries are involved in various other legal and regulatory actions and proceedings which arise in the normal course of business, including interventions in regulatory proceedings and challenges to regulatory approvals and permits by special interest groups. While the final outcome of such actions and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the resolution of such actions and proceedings will not have a material impact on our interim consolidated financial position or results of operations.



39


TAX MATTERS
We and our subsidiaries maintain tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions. While fully supportable in our view, these tax positions, if challenged by tax authorities, may not be fully sustained on review.

16. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On January 22, 2019, Enbridge entered into supplemental indentures with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Partnerships, pursuant to which Enbridge fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, the payment obligations of the Partnerships with respect to the outstanding series of notes issued under the respective indentures of the Partnerships. Concurrently, the Partnerships entered into a subsidiary guarantee agreement pursuant to which they guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, the outstanding series of senior notes of Enbridge. As a result of the guarantees, holders of any of the outstanding guaranteed notes of the Partnerships are in the same position with respect to the net assets, income and cash flows of Enbridge as holders of Enbridge's outstanding guaranteed notes, and vice versa. Other than the Partnerships, Enbridge subsidiaries (including the subsidiaries of the Partnerships, collectively, the Subsidiary Non-Guarantors), are not parties to the subsidiary guarantee agreement and have not otherwise guaranteed any of Enbridge's outstanding series of senior notes.

In accordance with Rule 3-10 of the SEC's Regulation S-X, which provides an exemption from the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for subsidiary issuers of guaranteed securities and subsidiary guarantors, in lieu of filing separate financial statements for each of the Partnerships, we have included the accompanying condensed consolidating financial information with separate columns representing the following:

1.
Enbridge Inc., the Parent Issuer and Guarantor;
2.
SEP, a Subsidiary Issuer and Guarantor;
3.
EEP, a Subsidiary Issuer and Guarantor;

For the purposes of the condensed consolidating financial information only, investments in subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method. In addition, the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows present the intercompany loan and distribution activity, as well as cash collection and payments made on behalf of our subsidiaries, as cash activities. These intercompany investments and related activities eliminate on consolidation and are presented separately only for the purpose of the accompanying Condensed Consolidating Statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION
 
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in Part 1. Item 1. Financial Statements of this report, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 15, 2019, and our audited updated consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed on Form 8-K with the SEC on May 10, 2019.

RECENT DEVELOPMENT - STATE OF MINNESOTA PERMITTING TIMELINE FOR U.S. LINE 3 REPLACEMENT PROGRAM

On March 1, 2019 we announced that the State of Minnesota provided the permitting timelines for its agencies' remaining environmental permits for the U.S. L3R Program. The permitting timeline indicates that the certifications on all remaining State of Minnesota permits will be provided by November 2019. We anticipate that the remaining Federal permits will be finalized approximately 30 to 60 days thereafter. In light of this updated permitting timeline, we are developing a revised construction schedule and related cost estimates for the U.S. L3R Program, and now expect an in-service date during the second half of 2020. For further details refer to Growth Projects - Regulatory Matters - United States Line 3 Replacement Program.

EARNINGS ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON SHAREHOLDERS

Three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2018

Earnings Attributable to Common Shareholders were positively impacted by $1,181 million due to certain unusual, infrequent or other factors, primarily explained by the following:
the absence in 2019 of a loss of $913 million ($701 million after-tax attributable to us) in 2018 on Midcoast Operating, L.P. and its subsidiaries (MOLP) resulting from a revision to the fair value of the assets held for sale based on the sale price;
the absence in 2019 of a loss of $144 million ($85 million after-tax attributable to us) in 2018 related to the Line 10 crude oil pipeline, which is a component of our mainline system, resulting from its classification as an asset held for sale and the subsequent measurement at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell;
a non-cash, unrealized derivative fair value gain of $436 million ($317 million after-tax attributable to us) in 2019, compared with a loss of $277 million ($146 million after-tax attributable to us) in the corresponding 2018 period, reflecting net fair value gains and losses arising from changes in the mark-to-market value of derivative financial instruments used to manage foreign exchange and commodity prices risks; and
employee severance, transition and transformation costs of $44 million ($42 million after-tax attributable to us) in 2019, compared with $97 million ($96 million after-tax attributable to us) in the corresponding 2018 period; partially offset by
the absence in 2019 of a gain of $63 million after-tax in 2018 that resulted from the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on our United States Renewable Power Generation and Transmission assets.

The non-cash, unrealized derivative fair value gains and losses discussed above generally arise as a result of a comprehensive long-term economic hedging program to mitigate interest rate, foreign exchange and commodity price risks. This program creates volatility in reported short-term earnings through the recognition of unrealized non-cash gains and losses on financial derivative instruments used to hedge these risks. Over the long-term, we believe our hedging program supports the reliable cash flows and dividend growth upon which our investor value proposition is based.

After taking into consideration the factors above, the remaining $265 million increase in Earnings Attributable to Common Shareholders is primarily explained by the following significant business factors:
stronger contributions from our Liquids Pipelines segment due to a higher International Joint Tariff (IJT) Benchmark Toll and higher throughput driven by an increase in supply and continuous capacity optimization;
contributions from new gas transmission assets placed into service in 2018;
increased earnings from our Gas Distribution segment due to colder weather experienced in our franchise areas, higher distribution rates and customer base, and the absence of forecasted earnings sharing in 2019;
increased earnings from our Energy Services segment due to the widening of certain location differentials during the second half of 2018, which increased opportunities to generate profitable margins that were realized during the first quarter of 2019; and
the net favorable effect of translating United States dollar EBITDA at a higher Canadian to United States dollar average exchange rate (Average Exchange Rate) of $1.33 in 2019 compared with $1.26 in 2018, partially offset by realized losses arising from our foreign exchange risk management program.

The positive business factors above were partially offset by the following:
the absence in 2019 of earnings from MOLP and the provincially regulated portion of our Canadian gas gathering and processing businesses which were sold in 2018; and
higher income tax expense driven by higher earnings and a higher effective income tax rate partly due to the buy-in of our United States sponsored vehicles in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2018

EBITDA was positively impacted by $814 million due to certain unusual, infrequent or other factors, primarily explained by the following:
a non-cash, unrealized gain of $343 million in 2019 compared with a loss of $298 million in 2018 reflecting net fair value gains and losses arising from changes in the mark-to-market value of derivative financial instruments used to manage foreign exchange and commodity price risks; and
the absence in 2019 of a loss of $144 million in 2018 related to Line 10, which is a component of our mainline system, resulting from its classification as an asset held for sale and the subsequent measurement at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell.

After taking into consideration the factors above, the remaining $102 million increase is primarily explained by the following significant business factors:
a higher IJT Benchmark Toll of US$4.15 in 2019 compared with US$4.07 in 2018;
higher Mainline System ex-Gretna throughput of 2,717 thousands of barrels per day (kbpd) in 2019 compared with 2,625 kbpd in 2018 driven by an increase in supply and continuous capacity optimization;
higher Flanagan South Pipeline and Seaway Crude Pipeline System throughput period-over-period partially driven by the redirection of throughput to the Gulf Coast resulting from refinery outages;
higher Bakken Pipeline System throughput period-over-period driven by strong production; and
the net favorable effect of translating United States dollar EBITDA at a higher Average Exchange Rate of $1.33 in 2019 compared with $1.26 in 2018.

Three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2018

EBITDA was positively impacted by $900 million primarily due to the absence in 2019 of a loss of $913 million in 2018 on MOLP resulting from a revision to the fair value of the assets held for sale based on the sale price.

After taking into consideration the factor above, the remaining $6 million decrease is primarily explained by the absence in 2019 of earnings from MOLP and the provincially regulated portion of our Canadian gas gathering and processing businesses which were sold in 2018.

The absence of earnings from assets sold in the prior year was partially offset by:


50


contributions from Valley Crossing Pipeline and certain other Offshore assets that were placed into service during 2018; and
the net favorable effect of translating United States dollar EBITDA at a higher Average Exchange Rate of $1.33 in 2019 compared with $1.26 in 2018.

Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. (EGD) and Union Gas Limited (Union Gas) were amalgamated on January 1, 2019. The amalgamated company has been renamed Enbridge Gas Inc. (EGI). Post amalgamation the financial results of EGI reflect the combined performance of EGD and Union Gas.

Three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2018

EBITDA was negatively impacted by $21 million primarily due to employee severance costs of $35 million in 2019 related to the amalgamation of EGD and Union Gas. This negative factor was partially offset by the absence in 2019 of a negative equity earnings adjustment of $9 million in 2018 at our equity investee, Noverco Inc., arising from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

After taking into consideration the factors above, the remaining $47 million increase is primarily explained by the following significant business factors:
increased earnings of $38 million period-over-period resulting from colder weather experienced in our franchise service areas when compared to the corresponding period in 2018;
higher earnings from higher distribution charges primarily resulting from increases in distribution rates and customer base; and
the absence in 2019 of forecasted earnings sharing which was recorded in 2018 under EGD's previous incentive rate structure.

Three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2018

EBITDA was positively impacted by $31 million due to certain unusual, infrequent and other factors, primarily explained by the following:
the absence in 2019 of an asset impairment charge of $22 million in 2018 from our equity investment in NRGreen Power Limited Partnership related to the Chickadee Creek waste heat recovery facility in Alberta; and
the absence in 2019 of a loss of $11 million in 2018 representing our share of losses incurred by our equity investee, Rampion Offshore Wind Limited, primarily due to the repair and restoration of damaged power transmission cables, for which we are seeking reimbursement.

After taking into consideration the factors above, the remaining $16 million decrease is primarily explained by the following significant business factors:


51


weaker wind resources at United States wind facilities; and
the absence in 2019 of $11 million in 2018 from a positive arbitration settlement related to our Canadian wind facilities.

The negative business factors above were partially offset by the following:
stronger wind resources at Canadian wind facilities; and
contributions from the Rampion Offshore Wind Project in 2019 which reached full operating capacity in the second quarter of 2018.

EBITDA from Energy Services is dependent on market conditions and results achieved in one period may not be indicative of results to be achieved in future periods.

Three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2018

EBITDA decreased by $317 million primarily due to a non-cash, unrealized loss of $164 million in 2019 compared with a gain of $147 million in 2018 reflecting the revaluation of financial derivatives used to manage the profitability of transportation and storage transactions and manage the exposure to movements in commodity prices.

After taking into consideration the factor above, the remaining $154 million increase is primarily due to increased earnings from Energy Services' crude operations due to the widening of certain location and quality differentials during the second half of 2018, which increased opportunities to generate profitable margins that were realized during the first quarter of 2019.

52


Three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2018

EBITDA was positively impacted by $445 million due to certain unusual, infrequent and other factors, primarily explained by the following:
a non-cash, unrealized gain of $252 million in 2019 compared with a loss of $136 million in 2018 reflecting net fair value gains and losses arising from the change in the mark-to-market value of derivative financial instruments used to manage foreign exchange risk; and
employee severance, transition and transformation costs of $9 million in 2019 compared with $62 million in 2018.

After taking into consideration the factors above, the remaining $82 million increase is primarily explained by lower operating and administrative costs in the first quarter of 2019 and the timing of the recovery of certain operating and administrative costs allocated to the business segments, which were more heavily weighted to the second half of 2018.

The positive business factor above was partially offset by a realized loss of $55 million in 2019 compared with a loss of $42 million in 2018 related to settlements under our foreign exchange risk management program, which partially offset the positive impact of a strengthening United States dollar on our United States business segments.

A full description of each of our projects is provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 15, 2019. Significant updates that have occurred since the date of filing are discussed below.

LIQUIDS PIPELINES

Gray Oak Pipeline Project - a crude oil pipeline project connecting West Texas to destinations in the Corpus Christi and Sweeny/Freeport markets. The pipeline is a joint development with Phillips 66 and could have an ultimate capacity of approximately 900,000 bpd, subject to additional shipper commitments. Project execution forecasts were revised to reflect updated construction cost estimates and timing, with an expected in-service date in the fourth quarter of 2019.

GAS TRANSMISSION AND MIDSTREAM

Atlantic Bridge - expansion of the Algonquin Gas Transmission systems to transport 133 mmcf/d of natural gas to the New England Region. The expansion primarily consists of various meter station additions, the replacement of a natural gas pipeline in Connecticut and Massachusetts, compression additions in Connecticut, and a new compressor station in Massachusetts. The meter stations were placed into service in 2017 and 2018. The Connecticut portion of the project was placed into service in the fourth quarter of 2017. The New York portion of the project achieved partial in-service in November 2018 and the revised expected full in-service date is the third quarter of 2019, upon which we will begin earning incremental revenues. The final Massachusetts portion of the project is expected to be in service in the first half of 2020.

Spruce Ridge Project- a natural gas pipeline expansion of Westcoast Energy Inc.'s BC Pipeline in northern BC. The project will provide additional capacity of up to 402 million cubic feet per day (mmcf/d) with a revised in-service date in the second half of 2021.

GAS DISTRIBUTION

Dawn-Parkway Expansion - the expansion of the existing Dawn to Parkway gas transmission system, which provides transportation service from Dawn to the Greater Toronto Area. The project will provide additional capacity of approximately 75 mmcf/d with an expected in-service date in the second half of 2021.

GROWTH PROJECTS - REGULATORY MATTERS

United States Line 3 Replacement Program
The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission has finalized all of its written orders and has denied all petitions to reconsider its regulatory decisions. The permitting process is under way with all relevant federal and state agencies, and other local government agencies in Minnesota. During the first quarter of 2019, the State of Minnesota provided timelines for issuing their environmental permitting by November 2019. We anticipate that the remaining Federal permits will be finalized approximately 30 to 60 days thereafter.

This new permitting schedule updates our prior expectation for the receipt of final State of Minnesota permits in the second quarter of 2019. In light of this new permitting timeline, we are developing a revised construction schedule and related cost estimates for the U.S. L3R Program, and expect an in-service date during the second half of 2020.

Construction costs for the Line 3 Replacement Program are tracking below budget in Canada and above budget in the United States due to permitting delays in Minnesota. Depending on the final in service date, there is a risk that the project will exceed our total cost estimate of $9 billion.

OTHER ANNOUNCED PROJECTS UNDER DEVELOPMENT
 
The following projects have been announced by us, but have not yet met our criteria to be classified as commercially secured:

LIQUIDS PIPELINES

Texas COLT Offshore Loading Project - the Texas COLT Offshore Loading Project will facilitate the direct loading of very large crude carriers from Freeport, Texas. The project consists of a terminal, a 42-inch offshore pipeline, platform and two single point mooring systems with connectivity to all key North American supply basins. During the first quarter of 2019 we acquired the position previously

held by Kinder Morgan Inc. We now hold an 80 percent interest in the project and Oiltanking holds the remaining 20 percent interest. The project is expected to be in service by 2022.

We also have a large portfolio of additional projects under development that have not yet progressed to the point of public announcement.




56


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
The maintenance of financial strength and flexibility is fundamental to our growth strategy, particularly in light of the significant number and size of capital projects currently secured or under development. Access to timely funding from capital markets could be limited by factors outside our control, including but not limited to financial market volatility resulting from economic and political events both inside and outside North America. To mitigate such risks, we actively manage financial plans and strategies to ensure we maintain sufficient liquidity to meet routine operating and future capital requirements. In the near term, we generally expect to utilize cash from operations together with commercial paper issuance and/or credit facility draws and the proceeds of capital market offerings to fund liabilities as they become due, finance capital expenditures, fund debt retirements and pay common and preference share dividends. We target to maintain sufficient liquidity through securement of committed credit facilities with a diversified group of banks and financial institutions to enable us to fund all anticipated requirements for approximately one year without accessing the capital markets.
 
Our financing plan is regularly updated to reflect evolving capital requirements and financial market conditions and identifies a variety of potential sources of debt and equity funding alternatives.
 
CAPITAL MARKET ACCESS
We ensure ready access to capital markets, subject to market conditions, through maintenance of shelf prospectuses that allow for issuance of long-term debt, equity and other forms of long-term capital when market conditions are attractive.

Credit Facilities and Liquidity
To ensure ongoing liquidity and to mitigate the risk of capital market disruption, we maintain ready access to funds through committed bank credit facilities and actively manage our bank funding sources to optimize pricing and other terms. The following table provides details of our committed credit facilities as at March 31, 2019:

On February 7, 2019 and February 8, 2019, we terminated certain Canadian and United States dollar credit facilities, including facilities held by Enbridge, EGI, EEP and SEP. We also increased existing facilities or obtained new facilities for Enbridge, Enbridge (U.S.) Inc. and EGI to substantially replace the terminated facilities. As a result, our total credit facility availability increased by approximately $444 million Canadian dollar equivalent.

In addition to the committed credit facilities noted above, we maintain $800 million of uncommitted demand credit facilities, of which $516 million were unutilized as at March 31, 2019. As at December 31, 2018, we had $807 million of uncommitted credit facilities, of which $548 million were unutilized.

Our net available liquidity of $7,241 million as at March 31, 2019, was inclusive of $702 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

Our credit facility agreements and term debt indentures include standard events of default and covenant provisions whereby accelerated repayment and/or termination of the agreements may result if we were to default on payment or violate certain covenants. As at March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all debt covenants and we expect to continue to comply with such covenants.

Strong growth in internal cash flow, ready access to liquidity from diversified sources and a stable business model support our strong credit profile. We actively monitor and manage key financial metrics with the objective of sustaining investment grade credit ratings from the major credit rating agencies and ongoing access to bank funding and term debt capital on attractive terms. Key measures of financial strength that are closely managed include the ability to service debt obligations from operating cash flow and the ratio of debt to total capital. As at March 31, 2019, our debt capitalization ratio was 47.1%, compared with 46.8% as at December 31, 2018.

There are no material restrictions on our cash. Total restricted cash of $55 million, as reported on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, includes EGI's receipt of cash from the Government of Ontario to fund its Green Investment Fund program. In addition, our restricted cash includes cash collateral and amounts received in respect of specific shipper commitments. Cash and cash equivalents held by certain subsidiaries may not be readily accessible for alternative uses by us.

Excluding current maturities of long-term debt, we had a negative working capital position as at March 31, 2019. The major contributing factor to the negative working capital position was the ongoing funding of our growth capital program.
 
To address this negative working capital position, we maintain significant liquidity in the form of committed credit facilities and other sources as previously discussed, which enable the funding of liabilities as they become due. As at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our net available liquidity totaled $7,241 million and $9,409 million, respectively.

Significant sources and uses of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 are summarized below:
 
Operating Activities
 
The decrease in cash flow provided by operations during the first quarter of 2019 was primarily driven by changes in operating assets and liabilities. 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 factor above was partially offset by stronger contributions from our operating segments and contributions from new assets placed into service as discussed under Results of Operations.

Investing Activities
 
The increase in cash used in investing activities during the first quarter 2019 was attributable to activity in 2019 that was not present in 2018, primarily relating to contributions to the Gray Oak Holdings LLC equity investment starting in January 2019.
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.
 
Financing Activities
 
The decrease in cash used in financing activities during the first quarter of 2019 was primarily attributable to a net increase in commercial paper and credit facility draws, partially offset by higher repayments of maturing long-term debt and a decrease of long-term debt issued in 2019 when compared to the same period in 2018.
Our common share dividend payments increased quarter-over-quarter primarily due to the increase in the common share dividend rate and an increase in the number of common shares outstanding in connection with the buy-in of our sponsored vehicles in the fourth quarter of 2018. These factors were partially offset by the suspension of our Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan in the fourth quarter of 2018. In addition, in March 2019, Westcoast Energy Inc. redeemed all of its outstanding Series 7 and Series 8 preference shares for a total payment of $300 million.
Distributions to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests decreased as a result of the buy-in of our sponsored vehicles in the fourth quarter 2018.

LEGAL AND OTHER UPDATES

LIQUIDS PIPELINES
Eddystone Rail Legal Matter
In February 2017, our subsidiary Eddystone Rail Company, LLC (Eddystone Rail) filed an action against several defendants in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (the Court). Eddystone Rail alleges that the defendants transferred valuable assets from Eddystone Rail’s counterparty in a maritime contract, so as to avoid outstanding obligations to Eddystone Rail. Eddystone Rail is seeking payment of compensatory and punitive damages in excess of US$140 million. On July 19, 2017, the defendants’ initial motions to dismiss Eddystone Rail’s claims were denied. Defendants have filed Answers and Counterclaims which, together with subsequent amendments, seek damages from Eddystone Rail in excess of US$32 million. Eddystone Rail filed a motion to dismiss the counterclaims and defendants amended their Answer and Counterclaims on September 21, 2017. On October 12, 2017 Eddystone Rail moved to dismiss the latest version of defendants’ counterclaims. On February 6, 2018, the Court denied without prejudice Eddystone Rail's motion to dismiss the defendants' counterclaims. The defendants’ chances of success on their counterclaims cannot be predicted at this time. On September 7, 2018, the Court granted Eddystone Rail's motion to amend its complaint to add several affiliates of the corporate defendants as additional defendants. Motions to dismiss Eddystone Rail’s amended complaint were subsequently denied by the Court. On January 25, 2019, defendants moved to dismiss Eddystone Rail’s claims from the Court based on lack of subject matter jurisdiction, which motion was denied by the Court on March 26, 2019.

Dakota Access Pipeline
In February 2017, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe filed motions with the Court contesting the validity of the process used by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (Army Corps) to permit the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). The plaintiffs requested the Court order the operator to shut down the pipeline until the appropriate regulatory process is completed. The Oglala Sioux and Yankton Sioux Tribes also filed claims in the case to challenge the Army Corp permit and environmental review process.

On June 14, 2017, the Court ruled that the Army Corps did not sufficiently weigh the degree to which the project's effects would be highly controversial and the Army Corps failed to adequately consider the impact of an oil spill on the hunting and fishing rights of the Tribes and on environmental justice (the June 2017 Order). The Court ordered the Army Corps to reconsider those components of its environmental analysis. On October 11, 2017, the Court issued an order that allows DAPL to continue operating while the Army Corps completes the additional environmental review required by the June 2017 Order. The Court additionally ordered DAPL to implement certain interim measures pending the Army Corps' supplemental analysis. The Army Corps issued its decision on August 31, 2018, and found that no supplemental environmental analysis is required. All four Tribes amended their complaints to include claims challenging the adequacy of the Army Corps’ supplemental environmental analysis.

On February 4, 2019, the Army Corps produced its administrative record, which includes all documents pertaining to its remand process. On February 27, 2019, a plaintiff filed a motion challenging the completeness of the Army Corps’ administrative record, arguing that relevant documents had been improperly excluded. The Army Corps and DAPL opposed that motion on March 11, 2019, and the plaintiff filed a reply brief on March 18, 2019. Briefing on the administrative record challenge is now complete and a decision by the court is pending. A schedule for filing summary judgment briefs on the merits of the plaintiff Tribes’ remaining claims will be established following resolution of the administrative record challenge.

Line 5 Dual Pipelines
In December 2018, Michigan law PA 359 was enacted which created the Mackinac Straits Corridor Authority (Corridor Authority) and authorized an agreement between us and the Corridor Authority for the construction of a tunnel under the Straits of Mackinac (Straits) to house a replacement for the Line 5 Dual Pipelines that currently cross the Straits. On December 19, 2018, we entered into a tunnel project agreement with the Government of Michigan under the administration of former Governor Snyder. On March 28, 2019, the new Michigan Attorney General issued an opinion finding the Michigan law PA 359 unconstitutional. Immediately following the Attorney General’s opinion that the Michigan law was unconstitutional, the new Michigan Governor Whitmer issued a directive to Michigan agencies to cease any action implementing the statute. We are currently in discussions with Governor Whitmer’s office about how to collaboratively advance the tunnel project.

OTHER LITIGATION
We and our subsidiaries are involved in various other legal and regulatory actions and proceedings which arise in the normal course of business, including interventions in regulatory proceedings and challenges to regulatory approvals and permits by special interest groups. While the final outcome of such actions and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the resolution of such actions and proceedings will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE COMMITMENTS
We have signed contracts for the purchase of services, pipe and other materials totaling approximately $2.1 billion which are expected to be paid over the next five years.

TAX MATTERS
We and our subsidiaries maintain tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions. While fully supportable in our view, these tax positions, if challenged by tax authorities, may not be fully sustained on review.

8.
TERMINATION
(a)
Voluntary Termination
Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8, if a Participant voluntarily terminates his or her employment with the Corporation or a Subsidiary prior to the payment date for a STIP Payment as described in Section 7, such Participant shall not be entitled to receive the STIP Payment and the Participant’s eligibility for any STIP Payment shall be immediately cancelled upon the Participant’s voluntary termination of employment. For this purpose, a transfer of employment under which the Participant transfers his or her employment to the Corporation or to another Subsidiary shall not be considered a termination of employment under this Plan.
(b)
Involuntary Termination Not For Cause
If the employment of a Participant with the Corporation or a Subsidiary is terminated by the Corporation (or its Subsidiary) for any reason other than For Cause, then the STIP Payment for the Participant for the Term shall be prorated based on the number of days of active employment of the Participant during the Term to the total number of days in the Term (and for this purpose the Notice Period shall be counted as active employment) and paid not later than the date specified in Section 7. For this purpose, the amount of STIP Payment shall be determined using Corporation, business unit and individual performance each at target (1x multiplier).
Any unpaid STIP Payment payable to the Participant in respect of a Term that has ended prior to the date of the Participant’s termination shall be paid in accordance with Section 7.
For the purposes of this subsection 8(b): (i) if a Participant’s employment terminates due to the constructive dismissal of the Participant; or (ii) if a Participant ceases to be employed by a Subsidiary of the Corporation because such Participant’s employer ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Corporation; then each such termination or cessation of being employed by a Subsidiary shall be



treated as an involuntary termination by the Corporation or a Subsidiary other than For Cause.
(c)
Involuntary Termination For Cause
If the employment of a Participant is terminated by the Corporation or a Subsidiary For Cause, then all unpaid STIP Payments and all Target Awards in respect of such Participant shall be cancelled as of the Participant’s last day of employment with the Corporation (or its Subsidiary).
(d)
Death
If the employment of a Participant with the Corporation or a Subsidiary is terminated as a result of the death of such Participant, the STIP Payment for the Participant for the Term shall be prorated based on the number of days of active employment of the Participant during the applicable Term to the total number of days in the Term. Such payment shall be made automatically without the requirement of pre-approval from the HRC Committee and shall be paid not later than two and one-half months from the date of death. For this purpose, the amount of STIP Payment shall be determined using Corporation, business unit and individual performance each at target (1x multiplier).
Any unpaid STIP Payment payable to the Participant in respect of a Term that has ended prior to the date of the Participant’s death shall be paid in accordance with Section 7.
(e)
Retirement
If a Participant has attained the age of 55 and retires from his or her employment with the Corporation or a Subsidiary pursuant to a Retirement Plan, then the STIP Payment for the Participant for the Term shall be prorated based on the number of days of active employment of the Participant during the applicable Term to the total number of days in the Term and such amount shall be paid not later than the date specified in Section 7.
Any unpaid STIP Payment payable to the Participant in respect of a Term that has ended prior to date of the Participant’s retirement shall be paid in accordance with Section 7.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, should a Participant qualify for retirement under the definition provided within this subsection 8(e), and should the employment of such Participant with the Corporation or a Subsidiary be terminated by the Corporation (or its Subsidiary) for any reason other than For Cause, the provisions of subsection 8(b) will apply.



(f)
Disability
If the employment of the Participant is terminated due to the “disability” of the Participant, the STIP Payment for the Participant for the Term shall be prorated based on the number of days of active employment of the Participant during the applicable Term to the total number of days in the Term and such amount shall be paid not later than the date specified in Section 7. For this purpose, the amount of STIP Payment shall be determined using Corporation, business unit and individual performance each at target (1x multiplier).
Any unpaid STIP Payment payable to the Participant in respect of a Term that has ended prior to date of the Participant’s disability shall be paid in accordance with Section 7.
For purposes of this subsection 8(f), a Participant is said to be suffering from a “disability” if he or she is eligible for benefits under a Corporation-sponsored long term disability benefits plan.
(g)
Leaves of Absence
If a Participant commences a voluntary leave (including a parental or adoption leave) or other leave approved by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, then the STIP Payment for the Participant for the Term shall be prorated based on the number of days of active employment of the Participant during the applicable Term to the total number of days in the Term.
Any unpaid STIP Payment payable to the Participant in respect of a Term that has ended prior to date of the Participant’s leave of absence shall be paid in accordance with Section 7.
(h)
Secondments
If a Participant is seconded to an entity other than a Subsidiary, the HRC Committee (in the case of Participants that are Direct Reports) and the CEO (in the case of all other Participants) shall determine the treatment of Target Awards in respect of the Participant under the Plan; provided that no such Target Awards shall be treated in a manner that would cause the Participant to be subject to adverse tax treatment under Code Section 409A.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any unpaid STIP Payment payable to the Participant in respect of a Term that has ended prior to date of the Participant’s secondment shall be paid in accordance with Section 7.
(i)
Double Trigger Change of Control
If the employment of a Participant with the Corporation or a Subsidiary is terminated by the Corporation (or its Subsidiary) other than For Cause (including



if a Participant’s employment terminates due to the constructive dismissal of the Participant) within 2 years after the Change of Control, such Participant’s date of termination of employment being the “Double Trigger Date”, then the following provisions of this subsection 8(i) shall apply.
Each Participant shall be entitled to be paid a STIP Payment, unless otherwise determined by the HRC Committee, in an amount determined at the Double Trigger Date and prorated based on the number of days of active employment of the Participant in the Term to the Double Trigger Date to the total number of days in the Term using the following:
(i)
Corporation, business unit and individual performance shall each be at target (1x multiplier); and
(ii)
recommendations on other performance measures shall be provided by the CEO.
The STIP Payment shall be made within 75 days following the Double Trigger Date.
Any unpaid STIP Payment payable to the Participant in respect of a Term that has ended prior to the Double Trigger Date shall be paid in accordance with Section 7, provided, however, that such payment shall be made within 75 days following the Double Trigger Date.
Notwithstanding the above, with respect to Participants who are U.S. Taxpayers, no payment shall be made under this subsection 8(i) unless such Change of Control also qualifies as a change in the ownership or effective control of the Corporation, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Corporation, within the meaning of Code Section 409A(2)(A)(v). In the case of a Change of Control that does not so qualify, payments to any such Participant shall be made in accordance with Section 7. The payment monies owing to these Participants will be placed in an irrevocable trust which is located in the United States of America and subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Corporation prior to the Change of Control.
(j)
No Future Awards
Upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing events listed under subsections 8(a) to (f) in respect of a Participant, such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any further awards under the Plan and, except as set forth herein, shall not be entitled to receive cash payment for the value of any unpaid STIP Payment, vested or unvested, held by the Participant as at the date of occurrence of such event.



9.
NEW HIRES
If a Participant commences employment with the Corporation or a Subsidiary in the middle of a Term, then the STIP Payment for the Participant for the Term shall be prorated based on the number of days of active employment of the Participant during the Term to the total number of days in the Term, and paid not later than the date specified in Section 7.
10.
FUNDING
For certainty, the Corporation has no obligation during any Term to pay or deposit any money into any account for the benefit of a Participant.
11.
TAXES AND REPORTING
Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, each Participant shall be responsible for the payment of all applicable taxes, including, but not limited to, income taxes payable in connection with any payment under the Plan and the Corporation, its employees and agents shall bear no liability in connection with the payment of such taxes. The Corporation shall have the right to deduct from all cash payments made to a Participant any taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payments.
12.
AMENDMENTS, ETC.
The HRC Committee may at any time recommend to the Board for its approval the revision, suspension or discontinuance of the Plan in whole or in part. No such revision, suspension, or discontinuance shall alter or impair the rights of a Participant in respect of a STIP Payment previously approved by the HRC Committee for such Participant, without the consent of that Participant. In addition, no revision, suspension or discontinuance shall result in adverse taxation under Code Section 409A or cause the Plan to become a “salary deferral arrangement” for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada), unless otherwise determined by the HRC Committee with the consent of the Participant.
13.
NO GUARANTEE OF EMPLOYMENT
The existence of the Plan is in no way to be construed as a guarantee of continued employment for any Participant, or of entitlement to any future Plan awards, benefits or payments.
14.
CURRENCY
The currency of the STIP Payment for a Term will be the same currency as the Base Salary at the end of the same Term of a Participant.



15.
EFFECT OF REORGANIZATION
In the event of any take-over bid or any proposal, offer or agreement for a merger, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction or other business combination that is not a Change of Control in which the Corporation is not the surviving or continuing corporation (a “Reorganization”), all obligations of the Corporation to pay to a Participant any STIP Payment arising from an outstanding Target Award hereunder shall be assumed by the surviving or continuing corporation, provided that the HRC Committee or the Board may make appropriate adjustment in the manner and timing in which such payments are to be made prior to such assumption. If, in the event of any such Reorganization, provision for such assumption satisfactory to the HRC Committee or the Board is not made by the surviving or continuing corporation, each Participant shall have paid to him or her, in full satisfaction for any amounts payable to such Participant under the Plan, a STIP Payment in the amount that such Participant would receive if the Reorganization was treated as a Change of Control under Section 8(i), unless otherwise determined by the HRC Committee. Such payment shall be made within 30 days after the date of the Reorganization.
Notwithstanding the above, with respect to Participants who are U.S. Taxpayers, no payment shall be made under this Section 15 unless such Reorganization also qualifies as a change in the ownership or effective control of the Corporation, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Corporation, within the meaning of Code Section 409A(2)(A)(v). In the case of a Reorganization that does not so qualify, payments to any such Participant shall be made in accordance with Section 7. The payment monies owing to these Participants will be placed in an irrevocable trust which is located in the United States of America and subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Corporation prior to the Reorganization.
16.
CONFLICT WITH WRITTEN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Plan and the terms of any written employment agreement between a Participant and the Corporation, the terms of the written employment agreement shall prevail.
17.
CODE SECTION 409A COMPLIANCE
With respect to any Participant who is a U.S. Taxpayer, the Corporation intends that the Plan shall comply with the applicable provisions of Code Section 409A, or an exemption from the application of Code Section 409A, in order to prevent the inclusion in the gross income of such Participant of any amount in a taxable year that is prior to the taxable year in which such amount would otherwise be paid or made available to such Participant under the terms of the Plan. The Plan shall be construed, interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with such intent. In furtherance of this intent, to the extent that any term of the Plan is ambiguous, such term shall be interpreted to comply with Code Section 409A, or an exemption from the application of Code Section 409A, as determined by the Corporation. In no event may any participant who is a U.S. Taxpayer



designate, directly or indirectly, the calendar year of any payment to be made under the Plan.
18.
INCENTIVE COMPENSATION CLAWBACK POLICY
Where applicable, payments made to Participants under this Plan will be governed by the terms of the Corporation’s Incentive Compensation Clawback Policy.
19.
EFFECTIVE DATE
The effective date of the Plan, as amended and restated is January 1, 2019.

(a)
Fee Structure and Payment Particulars
(i)

(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.

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.

Until revised by the Board, each Director and Chair of the Board will, subject to requirements of minimum share ownership criteria, as set out in Appendix “A”, elect to receive Compensation as



cash, Shares or Deferred Stock Units, in whole or in part, in increments of 5% (totalling 100% of the Compensation payable to such Director).
8.

An account, to be known as a “Deferred Stock Unit Account”, shall be maintained by the Corporation for each Director and will show the number of Deferred Stock Units credited to a Director, to four (4) decimal places, from time to time.
(b)
Crediting Deferred Stock Unit Account
In respect of any amount of Compensation payable to a Director in Deferred Stock Units, the number of Deferred Stock Units to be credited to that Director will be calculated by dividing the dollar amount of the quarterly Compensation payable to that Director in Deferred Stock Units on the Payment Date by the Market Value two (2) weeks prior to such date.
(c)
Additional Deferred Stock Units From Dividends On Shares
In addition to Subsection 9(b), whenever any cash dividend or other cash distribution is paid on the Shares, additional Deferred Stock Units will be credited to the Director’s Deferred Stock Unit Account. The number of such additional Deferred Stock Units will be calculated by dividing the aggregate dividends that would have been paid to such Director if the Deferred Stock Units in the Director’s Deferred Stock Unit Account had been Shares, by the Market Value of a Share on the date on which the dividends are paid on the Shares, less the amount of any discount then in effect



for the reinvestment of dividends under the Corporation’s Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan.

IT IS PARTICIPANT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO BE AWARE OF THE DATE ON WHICH THE OPTION EXPIRES.
ARTICLE III.
EXERCISE OF OPTION
3.1    Persons Eligible to Exercise. During Participant’s lifetime, only Participant may exercise the Option. After Participant’s death, any vested and exercisable portion of the Option may, prior to the time the Option expires, be exercised by Participant’s designated beneficiary as provided in the Plan; provided that, if no beneficiary has been designated by Participant, then the vested and exercisable portion of the Option may be exercised by the personal representative of Participant’s estate, or by the persons to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to Participant’s will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution, after receipt and acceptance of proper instructions from the estate by the Administrator.
3.2    Partial Exercise. Any exercisable portion of the Option, or the entire Option if then wholly exercisable, may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the time the Option or portion thereof expires, except that the Option may only be exercised for whole Shares. Exercising an Option in any manner shall decrease the number of Shares thereafter available for sale under the Option by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.
3.3    Procedure for Exercise. Participant may exercise the Option by giving written or electronic notice to the Company, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company (the “Exercise Notice”), which will state the election to exercise the Option, specify the number of Shares for which Participant is exercising the Option and provide such other representations and agreements as the Company may require pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. The Exercise Notice must be accompanied by an amount equal to the Grant Price multiplied by the number of Shares specified in the Exercise Notice. Such payment may be made (a) by certified check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Company or (b) by surrendering Shares then issuable upon the Option’s exercise (with the Fair Market Value of such Shares determined as of the exercise date in the sole discretion of the Administrator, in each case, subject to and in accordance with the Company’s policies in effect from time to time concerning Options and other awards granted under the Plan).
3.4    Tax Withholding.
(a)    No Shares shall be delivered to Participant or any other person until Participant or such other person has made arrangements acceptable to the Administrator for the satisfaction of any non-U.S., U.S.-federal, U.S.-state, or local income and employment tax withholding obligations, including, without limitation, obligations incident to the receipt of Shares. Upon exercise of the Option, the Company shall withhold or collect from Participant an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations, including, but not limited to, by surrender of Shares covered by the Option sufficient to satisfy the withholding obligations. The Company has the right and option, but not the obligation, to treat Participant’s failure to provide timely payment in accordance with the Plan of any withholding tax arising in connection with the Option as Participant’s election to satisfy all or any portion of the withholding tax by requesting the Company retain Shares otherwise issuable under the Option.
(b)    Participant acknowledges that Participant is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the Option, regardless of any action the Company or any Subsidiary takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the Option. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the awarding, vesting or exercise of the Option, or the subsequent sale of Shares. The Company and the Subsidiaries do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the Option to reduce or eliminate Participant’s tax liability.
(c)    Participant acknowledges that the Company has advised Participant to obtain independent legal and tax advice regarding the grant and exercise of the Option and the disposition of any Shares acquired thereby.
3.5    Issuance of Shares; Rights as Shareholder. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) the respective Shares promptly after the Option is exercised and full payment is received. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) and Participant becomes the record owner of the Shares, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Shares subject to the Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date Participant becomes the record owner of the Shares. Participant agrees to execute any documents requested by the Company in connection with the issuance of any Shares.
ARTICLE IV.
OTHER PROVISIONS
4.1    Adjustments. Participant acknowledges that the Option is subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and the Plan.
4.2    Limited Transferability. Except as may be permitted under the Plan in certain circumstances, the Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution.
4.3    Regulatory Restrictions on Shares. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time the Administrator determines, in its sole discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory authority is necessary or desirable as a condition to the issuance of Shares to Participant, such issuance will not occur unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval will have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. The Company shall be under no obligation to Participant to (a) register for offering or resale, (b) qualify for exemption under federal securities law, (c) register or qualify under the laws of any state or foreign jurisdiction, any Shares, security or interest in a security paid or issued under, or created by, the Plan, or (d) continue in effect any such registrations or qualifications if made. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary or appropriate to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority has not been obtained.
4.4    Conformity to Applicable Laws. Participant acknowledges that the Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all Applicable Laws and, to the extent Applicable Laws permit, will be deemed to be amended to the minimum extent necessary to conform to Applicable Laws. Any determination in this regard that is made by the Administrator will be final, binding, and conclusive on all interested persons. The obligations of the Company and the rights of Participant are subject to compliance with all Applicable Laws.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Option will be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b‑3) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent Applicable Laws permit, this Agreement will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.
4.5    Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Plan and herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
4.6    Notices.
(a)    General. Any document relating to participation in the Plan, or any notice required or permitted hereunder, shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery, electronic delivery at the electronic mail address, if any, provided for Participant by the Company, or, upon deposit in the U.S. Post Office or Canada Post, by registered or certified mail, or with a nationally recognized overnight courier service with postage and fees prepaid, addressed to the Company (c/o Secretary of the Company) at the Company’s principal office, and to Participant at the address appearing on the employment records of the Company, or at such other address as such party may designate in writing from time to time to the other party.

4.8    Share Ownership Guidelines. If on exercise of any Options the number of Shares held by the Participant is less than the number of Shares to be held by the Participant pursuant to any share ownership guidelines of the Corporation in effect from time to time and applicable to such Participant, then the Participant shall be required to retain Shares acquired on exercise of Options (net of Shares that are required to be sold by the Participant to meet any tax liabilities arising on exercise of the Options) to meet the requirements of such share ownership guidelines.
4.9    Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Each party to this Agreement and the Grant Notice acknowledges that (a) no representations, inducements, promises, or agreements, orally or otherwise, have been made by any party, or by anyone acting on behalf of any party, which are not embodied in this Agreement, the Grant Notice or the Plan, and (b) any agreement, statement, or promise that is not contained in this Agreement, the Grant Notice or the Plan shall not be valid or binding or of any force or effect.
4.10    Severability. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Grant Notice or this Agreement to the contrary, if any one or more of the provisions (or any part thereof) of the Grant Notice or this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be modified so as to make it valid, legal, and enforceable, and the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions (or any part thereof) of the Grant Notice or this Agreement, as applicable, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

4.12    Limitation on Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided.

Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets.
4.13    Compensation Recoupment. The Option (and all Shares issuable thereunder) are subject to the Company’s ability to recover incentive-based compensation from Participant, as is or may be required by (a) the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any regulations or rules promulgated thereunder, (b) any other clawback provision required by Applicable Laws or the listing standards of any applicable stock exchange or national market system, (c) any clawback policies adopted by the Company to implement any such requirements, or (d) any other compensation recovery policies as may be adopted from time to time by the Company, all to the extent determined by the Administrator in its discretion to be applicable to Participant.

Exhibit A

PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
ARTICLE I.
GENERAL
1.1    Award of PSUs and Dividend Equivalents Units. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the shareholder approval requirement set forth in Section 1.2) and the Plan, the Company has granted to Participant, effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”), an award of PSUs as set forth in the Grant Notice. Each PSU represents the right to receive a cash amount equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share in accordance with Section 3.3(b), subject to achievement of the Performance Goals over the Performance Period in accordance with Exhibit I hereto. The number of PSUs on the Grant Notice is not necessarily the number of PSUs in respect of which payment will be earned, but is merely the basis for determining the amount (if any) that will be delivered to the Participant; provided, however, that the Participant will have no right to any payment until such time, if ever, that an PSU has vested and become payable hereunder.
(a)    In the event that any cash dividend is declared on Shares with a record date that occurs during the Dividend Equivalent Period (as defined below), the Participant will receive dividend equivalent rights in the form of additional PSUs (the “Dividend Equivalent Units”) at the time such dividend is paid to the Company’s shareholders. The number of Dividend Equivalent Units that the Participant will receive at any such time will be equal to (1) the cash dividend amount per Share times (2) the number of PSUs covered by the Participant’s Award (and, unless otherwise determined by the Company, any Dividend Equivalent Units previously credited under the Participant’s Award that have not been previously settled through the delivery of Shares (or cash) prior to, such date), divided by the Fair Market Value of one Share on the applicable dividend payment date; provided, that, in the event the Dividend Reinvestment Plan is then in effect, the number of Dividend Equivalent Units that the Participant will receive shall instead be calculated in accordance with the methodologies (including any discount feature) set forth therein, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. Each Dividend Equivalent Unit will constitute an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to deliver (or cause to be delivered) one Share (or, cash equal to the Fair Market Value thereof) in accordance with the Plan, and will vest and be settled or paid at the same time, and subject to the same terms and conditions, as the PSUs on which such Dividend Equivalent Unit was accrued. “Dividend Equivalent Period” means the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the last day on which Shares (or cash) are delivered to the Participant with respect to the PSUs.
1.2    [Shareholder Approval Requirement. This Award will be contingent upon and effective as of approval of the Plan by the Company’s shareholders at the 2019 Annual Meeting. If the shareholders do not approve the Plan at the 2019 Annual Meeting, then this Agreement shall be null and void and the Participant shall have no rights or interests of any kind with respect to the PSUs or the associated Dividend Equivalent Units.]
1.3    Nature of Award. The PSUs granted to Participant pursuant to the Grant Notice and this Award are prospective in nature such that the Award is not in respect of service rendered in a year prior to the year that includes the Grant Date.
1.4    Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The PSUs are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan will control.
1.5    Defined Terms. Capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Agreement will have the meanings specified in the Grant Notice or, if not defined in the Grant Notice, in the Plan.
1.6    Unsecured Promise. The PSUs will at all times prior to settlement represent an unsecured Company obligation payable only from the Company’s general assets.
ARTICLE II.    
PERFORMANCE GOALS
The number of PSUs earned by the Participant is dependent, and may vary based, on achievement of the applicable Performance Goals over the Performance Period. Promptly following completion of the Performance Period (and no later than two and one-half (2.5) months following the end of the Performance Period), the Administrator will determine (a) whether, and to what extent the applicable Performance Goals for the Performance Period have been achieved and (b) the number of PSUs that the Participant shall earn, if any, subject to the requirements of Article III. All of the Participant’s rights with respect to the PSUs are dependent on the extent to which the applicable Performance Goals are achieved, and any rights to settlement in respect of outstanding PSUs immediately will terminate and no amount will be paid in respect of such PSUs upon the Administrator’s determination, in its sole discretion, that the applicable Performance Goals have not been satisfied to the extent necessary to result in payment in respect of the PSUs. The Administrator’s determination under this Article III shall be final, conclusive, and binding on the Participant, and on all other persons, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
ARTICLE III.    
VESTING, FORFEITURE AND SETTLEMENT
3.1    Vesting.
(a)    The PSUs are subject to forfeiture until they vest. Except as otherwise provided herein, the PSUs shall vest, if at all, on the Maturity Date, when the Administrator certifies the achievement of the Performance Goals in accordance with Section 3.3, provided, that except as otherwise set forth in Section 3.1(b), the Participant must remain an Employee through and including the Maturity Date.
(b)    Accelerated Service-Based Vesting.
(i)    CIC Termination. Upon a Change in Control the Performance Goals shall be conclusively deemed to have been attained for the Performance Period upon the occurrence of such Change in Control at the target level, or if greater, based on the actual level of attainment of such Performance Goals as of the Change in Control, as determined by the Administrator. In the event that Participant has a Termination of Service within two years following a Change in Control as a result of (1) involuntary Termination of Service by the Company or a Subsidiary without Cause or (2) Termination of Service by the Participant for Good Reason (in each case, a “CIC Termination”), then the PSUs will no longer be subject to any service-based vesting condition and will remain outstanding and will vest in accordance with Section 3.3.
(ii)    Death or Disability. In the event that Participant has a Termination of Service due to the Participant’s death or Disability, then then the PSUs will no longer be subject to any service-based vesting condition and will vest in accordance with Section 3.3.
(iii)    Retirement. In the event that Participant has a Termination of Service due to the Participant’s Retirement, then a pro rata portion of the PSUs will no longer be subject to any service-based vesting condition and will remain outstanding and will vest, if at all, in accordance with Section 3.3 upon the Administrator’s certification of the achievement of the Performance Goals. The pro rata portion of the PSUs that will no longer be subject to the service-based vesting condition shall be calculated by multiplying the target number of PSUs set forth on the Grant Notice by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full calendar days that have elapsed since the beginning of the Performance Period through the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service and the denominator is the total number of full calendar days in the Performance Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is eligible for Retirement at a time when the Participant incurs an involuntary Termination of Service without Cause, then Section 3.1(b)(iv) shall apply.
(iv)    Involuntary Termination Without Cause. In the event that Participant has a Termination of Service due to the Participant’s involuntary Termination of Service by the Company or a Subsidiary without Cause (other than a CIC Termination), then a pro rata portion of the PSUs will no longer be subject to any service-based vesting condition and will remain outstanding and will vest, if at all, in accordance with Section 3.3 upon the Administrator’s certification of the achievement of the Performance Goals. The pro rata portion of the PSUs that will no longer be subject to the service-based vesting condition shall be calculated by multiplying the target number of PSUs set forth on the Grant Notice by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full calendar days that have elapsed since the beginning of the Performance Period through the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service plus any applicable Notice Period and the denominator is the total number of full calendar days in the Performance Period. For purposes of this Section 3.1(b)(iv), if a Participant’s employment terminates due to the constructive dismissal of the Participant or if a Participant ceases to be employed by a Subsidiary of the Company because such Participant’s employer ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company, then such termination or cessation of employment shall be treated as an Termination of Service due to the Participant’s involuntary Termination without Cause.
3.2    Forfeiture and Leave of Absence.
(a)    Any PSUs for which the service-based vesting condition is not waived in accordance with Section 3.1 above shall immediately and automatically be cancelled and forfeited on the Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that Participant has an involuntary Termination of Service for Cause, then any PSUs that have not become vested in accordance with Section 3.3 as of the Participant’s Termination of Service shall be immediately forfeited as of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service (regardless of whether the service-based vesting condition continues to apply at the time of such Termination of Service).
(b)    Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.1 to the contrary, in the event that the Participant was on Leave of Absence during the Performance Period, the number of PSUs eligible to vest pursuant to Section 3.1(a) shall be reduced on a pro-rata basis. The number of PSUs that will remain outstanding and will vest, if at all, in accordance with Section 3.3 upon the Administrator’s certification of the achievement of the Performance Goals, is determined by multiplying the target number of PSUs set forth on the Grant Notice by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full calendar days during the Performance Period that the Participant was an Employee not on Leave of Absence and the denominator is the total number of full calendar days in the Performance Period
3.3    Maturity Date and Settlement. (a) The Administrator shall certify achievement of the Performance Goals and determine the number of PSU that become vested hereunder on a date following the completion of the Performance Period (the “Maturity Date”) in accordance with Exhibit I; provided, that:
(i)    in the case of PSUs for which the service-based vesting condition becomes waived under Section 3.1(b)(i), the Maturity Date shall be the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service; and
(ii)    in the case of PSUs for which the service-based vesting condition becomes waived under Section 3.1(b)(ii), the Maturity Date shall be the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service and the Performance Period shall be deemed to have been truncated as of the same date, with the Performance Goals deemed achieved with respect to the target number of PSUs set forth on the Grant Notice.
(b)    All payments in respect of PSUs shall be made, if at all, within two and one-half months of the Maturity Date and in no case will any payment in respect of a PSU be made after the third year following the year that includes the Grant Date. The amount of cash payable in respect of each PSU that vests on the Maturity Date will equal the Fair Market Value of a Share on the last trading day that immediately precedes the Maturity Date and will be paid in the currency of Canada or the United States, depending on the applicable jurisdiction in which the Participant resides. For purposes of this Section 3.3(b), “Fair Market Value” shall mean means, as of a particular day, the weighted average of the board lot trading prices per Share on the Toronto Stock Exchange, or the New York Stock Exchange, for the last twenty trading days immediately prior to such day
3.4    No Rights as Shareholder. Participant will have no rights as a shareholder (including, without limitation, the right to vote and to receive dividends) with respect to any PSUs covered by this Agreement.
ARTICLE IV.    
TAXATION AND TAX WITHHOLDING
4.1    Tax Withholding. Participant must make arrangements acceptable to the Administrator for the satisfaction of any non-U.S., U.S.-federal, U.S.-state, or local income and employment tax withholding obligations arising in connection with the Award.
(a)    Participant acknowledges that Participant is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the PSUs, regardless of any action the Company or any Subsidiary takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the PSUs. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the awarding, vesting or payment of the PSUs. The Company and the Subsidiaries do not commit to, and are under no obligation to structure this Award to, reduce or eliminate Participant’s tax liability.
(b)    Participant acknowledges that the Company has advised Participant to obtain independent legal and tax advice regarding the grant and payment in respect of the PSUs.
4.2    Section 409A. The provisions of this Section 4.2 apply to the Participant only if the Participant is a US taxpayer. This Agreement and the Plan provisions that apply to the PSUs are intended and will be construed to comply with Section 409A (including the requirements applicable to, or the conditions for exemption from treatment as, “deferred compensation” as defined in the regulations under Section 409A, whether by reason of short-term deferral treatment or other exceptions or provisions). The Administrator will have full authority to give effect to this intent. To the extent that any portion of the PSUs are intended to satisfy the requirements for short-term deferral treatment under Section 409A, delivery for such portion will occur by the March 15 coinciding with the last day of the applicable “short-term deferral” period described in Reg. 1.409A-1(b)(4) in order for the payment in respect of such RSUs to be within the short-term deferral exception unless, in order to permit all applicable conditions or restrictions on delivery to be satisfied, the Administrator elects, pursuant to Reg. 1.409A-1(b)(4)(i)(D) or otherwise as may be permitted in accordance with Section 409A, to delay payment to a later date within the same calendar year or to such later date as may be permitted under Section 409A. For the avoidance of doubt, if PSUs include a “series of installment payments” as described in Reg. 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii), the Participant’s right to the series of installment payments will be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and not as a right to a single payment, and if the Participant is a “specified employee” (as defined by the Company in accordance with Section 409A(a)(2)(i)(B) of the Code), payment will occur on the earlier of the date set forth under Section 3.3 or (to the extent required to avoid the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A) the date that is six months after the Participant’s Termination of Service. For purposes of Section 3.3, references in this Agreement to the Participant’s Termination of Service mean a Termination of Service which is also a separation from service (as defined by the Company in accordance with Section 409A). In no event will the Participant be permitted to designate, directly or indirectly, the taxable year of payment.
ARTICLE V.    
OTHER PROVISIONS
5.1    Adjustments. Participant acknowledges that the PSUs are subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and the Plan.

Any determination in this regard that is made by the Administrator will be final, binding, and conclusive on all interested persons. The obligations of the Company and the rights of Participant are subject to compliance with all Applicable Laws.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the Grant Notice, this Agreement, the PSUs will be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent Applicable Laws permit, this Agreement will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.
5.4    Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company.

5.5    Notices General. Any document relating to participation in the Plan, or any notice required or permitted hereunder, shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery, electronic delivery at the electronic mail address, if any, provided for Participant by the Company, or, upon deposit in the U.S. Post Office or Canada Post, by registered or certified mail, or with a nationally recognized overnight courier service with postage and fees prepaid, addressed to the Company (c/o Corporate Secretary of the Company) at the Company’s principal office, and to Participant at the address appearing on the employment records of the Company, or at such other address as such party may designate in writing from time to time to the other party.
(a)    Description of Electronic Delivery. The Plan documents, which may include, but do not necessarily include, the Plan, the Grant Notice, this Agreement, and any prospectus or other report of the Company provided generally to the Company’s shareholders, may be delivered to Participant electronically. In addition, if permitted by the Company, Participant may deliver electronically the Grant Notice to the Company or to such third party involved in administering the Plan as the Company may designate from time to time. Such means of electronic delivery may include, but do not necessarily include, the delivery of a link to a Company intranet or the internet site of a third party involved in administering the Plan, the delivery of the document via electronic mail, or such other means of electronic delivery as may be specified by the Company.
(b)    Consent to Electronic Delivery. Participant hereby acknowledges that Participant has read and understands this Section 5.5, and hereby consents to the electronic delivery of any Plan documents as described in Section 5.5(b). Participant may receive from the Company a paper copy of any documents delivered electronically at no cost to Participant by providing written notice of such request to the Company. Participant will be provided with a paper copy of any documents if the attempted electronic delivery of such documents fails. Participant understands and hereby agrees that Participant must provide the Company or any designated third party administrator with a paper copy of any document if the attempted electronic delivery of such documents fails. Participant may change the electronic mail address to which such documents are to be delivered at any time by notifying the Company in writing of such revised electronic mail address.
5.6    Administrator Authority; Decisions Conclusive and Binding. Participant hereby (a) acknowledges that a copy of the Plan has been made available for Participant’s review by the Company, (b) represents that Participant is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and (c) accepts the Award subject to all the terms and provisions thereof. The Administrator will have the power to (i) interpret this Agreement, the Grant Notice and the Plan, (ii) adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith, and (iii) interpret or revoke any such rules. Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive, and final all decisions of the Administrator upon any questions arising under the Plan, this Agreement or the Grant Notice. No employee of the Company who is acting with the requisite authority on behalf of the Administrator will be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation that is made in good faith with respect to the Plan, this Agreement or the Grant Notice.
5.7    Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede, in their entirety, all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof. All prior negotiations and agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof are merged into this Agreement and the Grant Notice. Each party to this Agreement and the Grant Notice acknowledges that (a) no representations, inducements, promises, or agreements, orally or otherwise, have been made by any party or by anyone acting on behalf of any party, which are not embodied in this Agreement, the Grant Notice or the Plan, and (b) any agreement, statement, or promise that is not contained in this Agreement, the Grant Notice or the Plan will not be valid or binding or of any force or effect.
5.8    Severability. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Grant Notice or this Agreement to the contrary, if any one or more of the provisions (or any part thereof) of the Grant Notice or this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such provision will be modified so as to make it valid, legal, and enforceable, and the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions (or any part thereof) of the Grant Notice or this Agreement, as applicable, will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
5.9    Survival of Certain Provisions. Wherever appropriate to the intention of the parties hereto, the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement or the Participant’s Termination of Service.
5.10    Limitation on Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and may not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. Participant will have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the PSUs, and rights no greater than the right to receive cash as a general unsecured creditor with respect to the PSUs, as and when settled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
5.11    Compensation Recoupment.

5.12    No Effect on Employment or Service Relationship. Nothing in the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement (a) confers upon Participant any right to continue as an Employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or (b) interferes with or restricts in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, and with or without notice, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary and Participant.

RSU Grant Notice






Exhibit A
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
Article I
GENERAL
1.1    Award of RSUs and Dividend Equivalents Units. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the shareholder approval requirement set forth in Section 1.2) and the Plan, the Company has granted to Participant, effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”), an award of RSUs as set forth in the Grant Notice. Each RSU represents the right to receive a cash amount equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share in accordance with Section 2.3; provided, however, that Participant will have no right to any payment until such time, if ever, that an RSU has vested and become payable hereunder.
(a)    In the event that any cash dividend is declared on Shares with a record date that occurs during the Dividend Equivalent Period (as defined below), the Participant will receive dividend equivalent rights in the form of additional RSUs (the “Dividend Equivalent Units”) at the time such dividend is paid to the Company’s shareholders. The number of Dividend Equivalent Units that the Participant will receive at any such time will be equal to (1) the cash dividend amount per Share times (2) the number of RSUs covered by the Participant’s Award (and, unless otherwise determined by the Company, any Dividend Equivalent Units previously credited under the Participant’s Award that have not been previously settled through the delivery of Shares (or cash) prior to, such date), divided by the Fair Market Value of one Share on the applicable dividend payment date; provided, that, in the event the Dividend Reinvestment Plan is then in effect, the number of Dividend Equivalent Units that the Participant will receive shall instead be calculated in accordance with the methodologies (including any discount feature) set forth therein, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. Each Dividend Equivalent Unit will constitute an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to deliver (or cause to be delivered) one Share (or, cash equal to the Fair Market Value thereof) in accordance with the Plan, and will vest and be settled or paid at the same time, and subject to the same terms and conditions, as the RSUs on which such Dividend Equivalent Unit was accrued. “Dividend Equivalent Period” means the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the last day on which Shares (or cash) are delivered to the Participant with respect to the RSUs.
1.2    [Shareholder Approval Requirement. This Award will be contingent upon and effective as of approval of the Plan by the Company’s shareholders at the 2019 Annual Meeting. If the shareholders do not approve the Plan at the 2019 Annual Meeting, then this Agreement shall be null and void and the Participant shall have no rights or interests of any kind with respect to the RSUs or the associated Dividend Equivalent Units.]




1.3    Nature of Award. The RSUs granted to Participant pursuant to the Grant Notice and this Award are prospective in nature such that the Award is not in respect of service rendered in a year prior to the year that includes the Grant Date.
1.4    Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan will control.
1.5    Defined Terms. Capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Agreement will have the meanings specified in the Grant Notice or, if not defined in the Grant Notice, in the Plan.
1.6    Unsecured Promise. The RSUs will at all times prior to settlement represent an unsecured Company obligation payable only from the Company’s general assets.
ARTICLE II    
VESTING, FORFEITURE AND SETTLEMENT
2.1    Vesting; Maturity Date. (a) The RSUs will become vested on the Maturity Date; provided, that except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.1(b), the Participant is, as of the applicable Maturity Date, and has been at all times since the Grant Date, an Employee.
(a)    Accelerated Vesting.
(i)    CIC Termination. In the event that Participant has a Termination of Service within two years following a Change in Control as a result of (1) involuntary Termination of Service by the Company or a Subsidiary without Cause or (2) Termination of Service by the Participant for Good Reason (in each case, a “CIC Termination”), then all unvested RSUs shall automatically become 100% vested on the Participant’s Termination of Service and be settled in accordance with Section 2.3.
(ii)    Death or Disability. In the event that Participant has a Termination of Service due to the Participant’s death or Disability, then all unvested RSUs shall automatically become 100% vested on the Participant’s Termination of Service and be settled in accordance with Section 2.3.
(iii)    Retirement. In the event that Participant has a Termination of Service due to the Participant’s Retirement, then a pro rata portion of the unvested RSUs shall immediately vest on the Participant’s Termination of Service and be settled in accordance with Section 2.3. The pro rata portion of the RSUs that vest shall be calculated by multiplying the total number of RSUs granted by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full calendar days that have elapsed since the beginning of the Term through the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service and the denominator of which is the total number of full calendar days in the Term. Notwithstanding




the foregoing, if the Participant is eligible for Retirement at a time when the Participant incurs an involuntary Termination of Service without Cause, then Section 2.1(iv) shall apply and govern the vesting of the RSUs.
(iv)    Involuntary Termination Without Cause. In the event that Participant has a Termination of Service due to the Participant’s involuntary Termination of Service by the Company or a Subsidiary without Cause (other than a CIC Termination), then a pro rata portion of the unvested RSUs shall immediately vest on the Participant’s Termination of Service and be settled in accordance with Section 2.3. The pro rata portion of the RSUs that vest shall be calculated by multiplying the total number of RSUs granted by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full calendar days that have elapsed since the beginning of the Term through the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service (and, for these purposes, giving effect to any applicable Notice Period) and the denominator of which is the total number of full calendar days in the Term. For purposes of this Section 2.1(b)(iv), if a Participant’s employment terminates due to the constructive dismissal of the Participant or if a Participant ceases to be employed by a Subsidiary of the Company because such Participant’s employer ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company, then such termination or cessation of employment shall be treated as an Termination of Service due to the Participant’s involuntary Termination without Cause.
2.2    Forfeiture and Leave of Absence. (a) Any RSUs that do not vest in accordance with Section 2.1 above shall immediately and automatically be cancelled and forfeited on the Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that Participant has an involuntary Termination of Service for Cause, then any RSUs that have not been settled in accordance with Section 2.3 as of the Participant’s Termination of Service, whether vested or not, shall be immediately forfeited as of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.1 to the contrary, in the event that the Participant was on Leave of Absence during the Term, the RSUs that vest pursuant to Section 2.1(a) shall be reduced on a pro-rata basis. The number of RSUs that shall be eligible to vest under Section 2.1(a) and settled under Section 2.3 shall be determined by multiplying the total number of RSUs granted by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full calendar days during the Term that the Participant was an Employee not on Leave of Absence and the denominator of which is the total number of full calendar days in the Term.
2.3    Settlement. (a) RSUs will be paid in cash within thirty days following the Maturity Date; provided, that in the case of RSUs that become vested due to Sections 2.1(b)(i) or 2.1(b)(ii), the Maturity Date shall be the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service and payment shall be made within thirty days thereafter, and provided further, that in no case will any payment in respect of an RSU be made after the third year following the year that includes the Grant Date.
(a)    The amount of cash paid with respect to the RSU will equal the Fair Market Value of a Share on the last trading day that immediately precedes the Maturity Date and will be




paid in the currency of Canada or the United States, depending on the applicable jurisdiction in which the Participant resides. For purposes of this Section 2.3, “Fair Market Value” shall mean, as of a particular day, the weighted average of the board lot trading prices per Share on the Toronto Stock Exchange, or the New York Stock Exchange, for the last twenty trading days immediately prior to such day.
2.4    No Rights as Shareholder. Participant will have no rights as a shareholder (including, without limitation, the right to vote and to receive dividends) with respect to any RSUs covered by this Agreement.
ARTICLE III    
TAXATION AND TAX WITHHOLDING
3.1    Tax Withholding. (a) Participant must make arrangements acceptable to the Administrator for the satisfaction of any non-U.S., U.S.-federal, U.S.-state, or local income and employment tax withholding obligations arising in connection with the Award.
(a)    Participant acknowledges that Participant is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the RSUs, regardless of any action the Company or any Subsidiary takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the RSUs. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the awarding, vesting or payment of the RSUs. The Company and the Subsidiaries do not commit to, and are under no obligation to structure this Award to, reduce or eliminate Participant’s tax liability.
(b)    Participant acknowledges that the Company has advised Participant to obtain independent legal and tax advice regarding the grant and payment in respect of the RSUs.
3.2    Section 409A. The provisions of this Section 3.2 apply to the Participant only if the Participant is a US taxpayer. This Agreement and the Plan provisions that apply to the RSUs are intended and will be construed to comply with Section 409A (including the requirements applicable to, or the conditions for exemption from treatment as, “deferred compensation” as defined in the regulations under Section 409A, whether by reason of short-term deferral treatment or other exceptions or provisions). The Administrator will have full authority to give effect to this intent. To the extent that any portion of the RSUs are intended to satisfy the requirements for short-term deferral treatment under Section 409A, delivery for such portion will occur by the March 15 coinciding with the last day of the applicable “short-term deferral” period described in Reg. 1.409A-1(b)(4) in order for the payment in respect of such RSUs to be within the short-term deferral exception unless, in order to permit all applicable conditions or restrictions on delivery to be satisfied, the Administrator elects, pursuant to Reg. 1.409A-1(b)(4)(i)(D) or otherwise as may be permitted in accordance with Section 409A, to delay payment to a later date within the same calendar year or to such later date as may be permitted under Section 409A. For the avoidance of doubt, if RSUs include a “series of installment payments” as described in Reg. 1.409A-2(b)




(2)(iii), the Participant’s right to the series of installment payments will be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and not as a right to a single payment, and if the Participant is a “specified employee” (as defined by the Company in accordance with Section 409A(a)(2)(i)(B) of the Code), payment will occur on the earlier of the date set forth under Section 2.3 or (to the extent required to avoid the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A) the date that is six months after the Participant’s Termination of Service. For purposes of Section 2.3, references in this Agreement to the Participant’s Termination of Service mean a Termination of Service which is also a separation from service (as defined by the Company in accordance with Section 409A). In no event will the Participant be permitted to designate, directly or indirectly, the taxable year of payment.
ARTICLE IV    
OTHER PROVISIONS
4.1    Adjustments. Participant acknowledges that the RSUs are subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and the Plan.
4.2    Limited Transferability. The Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution.
4.3    Conformity to Applicable Laws. Participant acknowledges that the Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all Applicable Laws and, to the extent Applicable Laws permit, will be deemed to be amended to the minimum extent necessary to conform to Applicable Laws. Any determination in this regard that is made by the Administrator will be final, binding, and conclusive on all interested persons. The obligations of the Company and the rights of Participant are subject to compliance with all Applicable Laws.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the Grant Notice, this Agreement, the RSUs will be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent Applicable Laws permit, this Agreement will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.
4.4    Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Plan and herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.




4.5    Notices. (a) General. Any document relating to participation in the Plan, or any notice required or permitted hereunder, shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery, electronic delivery at the electronic mail address, if any, provided for Participant by the Company, or, upon deposit in the U.S. Post Office or Canada Post, by registered or certified mail, or with a nationally recognized overnight courier service with postage and fees prepaid, addressed to the Company (c/o Corporate Secretary of the Company) at the Company’s principal office, and to Participant at the address appearing on the employment records of the Company, or at such other address as such party may designate in writing from time to time to the other party.
(a)    Description of Electronic Delivery. The Plan documents, which may include, but do not necessarily include, the Plan, the Grant Notice, this Agreement, and any prospectus or other report of the Company provided generally to the Company’s shareholders, may be delivered to Participant electronically. In addition, if permitted by the Company, Participant may deliver electronically the Grant Notice to the Company or to such third party involved in administering the Plan as the Company may designate from time to time. Such means of electronic delivery may include, but do not necessarily include, the delivery of a link to a Company intranet or the internet site of a third party involved in administering the Plan, the delivery of the document via electronic mail, or such other means of electronic delivery as may be specified by the Company.
(b)    Consent to Electronic Delivery. Participant hereby acknowledges that Participant has read and understands this Section 4.5, and hereby consents to the electronic delivery of any Plan documents as described in Section 4.5(b). Participant may receive from the Company a paper copy of any documents delivered electronically at no cost to Participant by providing written notice of such request to the Company. Participant will be provided with a paper copy of any documents if the attempted electronic delivery of such documents fails. Participant understands and hereby agrees that Participant must provide the Company or any designated third party administrator with a paper copy of any document if the attempted electronic delivery of such documents fails. Participant may change the electronic mail address to which such documents are to be delivered at any time by notifying the Company in writing of such revised electronic mail address.
4.6    Administrator Authority; Decisions Conclusive and Binding. Participant hereby (a) acknowledges that a copy of the Plan has been made available for Participant’s review by the Company, (b) represents that Participant is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and (c) accepts the Award subject to all the terms and provisions thereof. The Administrator will have the power to (i) interpret this Agreement, the Grant Notice and the Plan, (ii) adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith, and (iii) interpret or revoke any such rules. Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive, and final all decisions of the Administrator upon any questions arising under the Plan, this Agreement or the Grant Notice. No employee of the Company who is acting with the requisite authority on behalf of the Administrator




will be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation that is made in good faith with respect to the Plan, this Agreement or the Grant Notice.
4.7    Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede, in their entirety, all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof. All prior negotiations and agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof are merged into this Agreement and the Grant Notice. Each party to this Agreement and the Grant Notice acknowledges that (a) no representations, inducements, promises, or agreements, orally or otherwise, have been made by any party or by anyone acting on behalf of any party, which are not embodied in this Agreement, the Grant Notice or the Plan, and (b) any agreement, statement, or promise that is not contained in this Agreement, the Grant Notice or the Plan will not be valid or binding or of any force or effect.
4.8    Severability. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Grant Notice or this Agreement to the contrary, if any one or more of the provisions (or any part thereof) of the Grant Notice or this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such provision will be modified so as to make it valid, legal, and enforceable, and the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions (or any part thereof) of the Grant Notice or this Agreement, as applicable, will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
4.9    Survival of Certain Provisions. Wherever appropriate to the intention of the parties hereto, the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement or the Participant’s Termination of Service.
4.10    Limitation on Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and may not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. Participant will have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the RSUs, and rights no greater than the right to receive cash as a general unsecured creditor with respect to the RSUs, as and when settled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
4.11    Compensation Recoupment. The Award (and the cash issuable thereunder) are subject to the Company’s ability to recover incentive-based compensation from Participant, as is or may be required by (a) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or any regulations or rules promulgated thereunder, (b) any other clawback provision required by Applicable Laws or the listing standards of any applicable stock exchange or national market system, (c) any clawback policies adopted by the Company to implement any such requirements, or (d) any other compensation recovery policies as may be adopted from time to time by the Company, all to the extent that is




determined by the Administrator, in its discretion, to be applicable with respect to Participant.
4.12    No Effect on Employment or Service Relationship. Nothing in the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement (a) confers upon Participant any right to continue as an Employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or (b) interferes with or restricts in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, and with or without notice, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary and Participant.
4.13    Construction. Headings in this Agreement are included for convenience and will not be considered in the interpretation of this Agreement. Reference to any statute, rule, or regulation includes any amendment thereto or any replacement thereof, as well as the authoritative guidance issued thereunder by the appropriate governmental entity. Pronouns will be construed to include the masculine, feminine, neutral, singular or plural as the identity of the antecedent may require. A reference to any party to this Agreement will include such party’s successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement will be construed according to its fair meaning and not strictly construed against the Company.
4.14    Counterparts. The Grant Notice may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by way of any electronic signature, subject to Applicable Laws, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
4.15    Modification. Any modification of this Agreement shall be binding only if evidenced in writing and signed by the Administrator, or its delegate.

Article I
GENERAL
1.1    Award of RSUs and Dividend Equivalents Units. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the shareholder approval requirement set forth in Section 1.2) and the Plan, the Company has granted to Participant, effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”), an award of RSUs as set forth in the Grant Notice. Each RSU represents the right to receive a cash amount equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share in accordance with Section 2.3; provided, however, that Participant will have no right to any payment until such time, if ever, that an RSU has vested and become payable hereunder.
(a)    In the event that any cash dividend is declared on Shares with a record date that occurs during the Dividend Equivalent Period (as defined below), the Participant will receive dividend equivalent rights in the form of additional RSUs (the “Dividend Equivalent Units”) at the time such dividend is paid to the Company’s shareholders. The number of Dividend Equivalent Units that the Participant will receive at any such time will be equal to (1) the cash dividend amount per Share times (2) the number of RSUs covered by the Participant’s Award (and, unless otherwise determined by the Company, any Dividend Equivalent Units previously credited under the Participant’s Award that have not been previously settled through the delivery of Shares (or cash) prior to, such date), divided by the Fair Market Value of one Share on the applicable dividend payment date; provided, that, in the event the Dividend Reinvestment Plan is then in effect, the number of Dividend Equivalent Units that the Participant will receive shall instead be calculated in accordance with the methodologies (including any discount feature) set forth therein, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. Each Dividend Equivalent Unit will constitute an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to deliver (or cause to be delivered) one Share (or, cash equal to the Fair Market Value thereof) in accordance with the Plan, and will vest and be settled or paid at the same time, and subject to the same terms and conditions, as the RSUs on which such Dividend Equivalent Unit was accrued. “Dividend Equivalent Period” means the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the last day on which Shares (or cash) are delivered to the Participant with respect to the RSUs.
1.2    [Shareholder Approval Requirement. This Award will be contingent upon and effective as of approval of the Plan by the Company’s shareholders at the 2019 Annual Meeting. If the shareholders do not approve the Plan at the 2019 Annual Meeting, then this Agreement shall be null and void and the Participant shall have no rights or interests of any kind with respect to the RSUs or the associated Dividend Equivalent Units.]




1.3    Nature of Award. The RSUs granted to Participant pursuant to the Grant Notice and this Award are prospective in nature such that the Award is not in respect of service rendered in a year prior to the year that includes the Grant Date.
1.4    Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan will control.

1.6    Unsecured Promise. The RSUs will at all times prior to settlement represent an unsecured Company obligation payable only from the Company’s general assets.
ARTICLE II    
VESTING, FORFEITURE AND SETTLEMENT
2.1    Vesting; Maturity Date. (a) The RSUs will become vested on the Maturity Date; provided, that except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.1(b), the Participant is, as of the Maturity Date, and has been at all times since the Grant Date, an Employee.
(a)    In the event that the Participant has a Termination of Service due to (i) death, (ii) Disability, (iii) Retirement or (iv) an involuntary Termination of Service by the Company or a Subsidiary without Cause, then all unvested RSUs shall automatically become 100% vested and be settled in accordance with Section 2.3.
(b)    In the event of a Change in Control, all unvested RSUs shall automatically become 100% vested and be settled in accordance with Section 2.3.
2.2    Forfeiture and Leave of Absence. Any RSUs that do not vest in accordance with Section 2.1 above shall immediately and automatically be cancelled and forfeited on the Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (a) in the event that Participant has an involuntary Termination of Service for Cause, then any RSUs that have not been settled in accordance with Section 2.3 as of the Participant’s Termination of Service, whether vested or not, shall be immediately forfeited as of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service and (b) in the event that Participant commences a Leave of Absence, all RSUs held by such Participant will remain outstanding and eligible to vest and be settled in accordance with Section 2.3.
2.3    Settlement. (a) RSUs will be paid in cash within thirty days following the Maturity Date; provided, that (i) in the case of RSUs that become vested due to a Termination of Service due to the Participant’s death or the Participant’s Disability, the Maturity Date




shall be the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service and (ii) in the case of RSUs that become vested due to a Change in Control, subject to Section 2.3(b), the Maturity Date shall be the date of the Change in Control; provided, further, that in no case will any payment in respect of an RSU be made after the third year following the year that includes the Grant Date.
(a)    Any payment to a Participant due upon a Change in Control pursuant to Section 2.3(a) will be paid only if such Change in Control constitutes a “change in ownership” or “change in effective control” within the meaning of Section 409A, and in the event that such Change in Control does not constitute a “change in the ownership” or “change in the effective control” within the meaning of Section 409A, the RSUs will vest upon the Change in Control and any payment will be delayed until the first compliant date under Section 409A. Any payment that is delayed until the first compliant date under Section 409A in accordance with this Section 2.3(b) shall, as of the date of the Change in Control, be paid into an irrevocable trust which is located in the United Stated and subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Company prior to the Change in Control.
(b)    The amount of cash paid with respect to the RSU will equal the Fair Market Value of a Share on the last trading day that immediately precedes the Maturity Date and will be paid in the currency of Canada or the United States, depending on the applicable jurisdiction in which the Participant resides. For purposes of this Section 2.3, “Fair Market Value” shall mean, as of a particular day, the weighted average of the board lot trading prices per Share on the Toronto Stock Exchange, or the New York Stock Exchange, for the last twenty trading days immediately prior to such day.
2.4    No Rights as Shareholder. Participant will have no rights as a shareholder (including, without limitation, the right to vote and to receive dividends) with respect to any RSUs covered by this Agreement.
ARTICLE III    
TAXATION AND TAX WITHHOLDING
3.1    Tax Withholding. (a) Participant must make arrangements acceptable to the Administrator for the satisfaction of any non-U.S., U.S.-federal, U.S.-state, or local income and employment tax withholding obligations arising in connection with the Award.
(a)    Participant acknowledges that Participant is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the RSUs, regardless of any action the Company or any Subsidiary takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the RSUs. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the awarding, vesting or payment of the RSUs. The Company and the Subsidiaries do not commit to, and are under no obligation to structure this Award to, reduce or eliminate Participant’s tax liability.




(b)    Participant acknowledges that the Company has advised Participant to obtain independent legal and tax advice regarding the grant and payment in respect of the RSUs.
3.2    Section 409A. The provisions of this Section 3.2 apply to the Participant only if the Participant is a US taxpayer. This Agreement and the Plan provisions that apply to the RSUs are intended and will be construed to comply with Section 409A (including the requirements applicable to, or the conditions for exemption from treatment as, “deferred compensation” as defined in the regulations under Section 409A, whether by reason of short-term deferral treatment or other exceptions or provisions). The Administrator will have full authority to give effect to this intent. To the extent that any portion of the RSUs are intended to satisfy the requirements for short-term deferral treatment under Section 409A, delivery for such portion will occur by the March 15 coinciding with the last day of the applicable “short-term deferral” period described in Reg. 1.409A-1(b)(4) in order for the payment in respect of such RSUs to be within the short-term deferral exception unless, in order to permit all applicable conditions or restrictions on delivery to be satisfied, the Administrator elects, pursuant to Reg. 1.409A-1(b)(4)(i)(D) or otherwise as may be permitted in accordance with Section 409A, to delay payment to a later date within the same calendar year or to such later date as may be permitted under Section 409A. For the avoidance of doubt, if RSUs include a “series of installment payments” as described in Reg. 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii), the Participant’s right to the series of installment payments will be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and not as a right to a single payment, and if the Participant is a “specified employee” (as defined by the Company in accordance with Section 409A(a)(2)(i)(B) of the Code), payment will occur on the earlier of the date set forth under Section 2.3 or (to the extent required to avoid the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A) the date that is six months after the Participant’s Termination of Service. For purposes of Section 2.3, references in this Agreement to the Participant’s Termination of Service mean a Termination of Service which is also a separation from service (as defined by the Company in accordance with Section 409A). In no event will the Participant be permitted to designate, directly or indirectly, the taxable year of payment.
ARTICLE IV    
OTHER PROVISIONS
4.1    Adjustments. Participant acknowledges that the RSUs are subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and the Plan.
4.2    Limited Transferability. The Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution.
4.3    Conformity to Applicable Laws. Participant acknowledges that the Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all Applicable Laws and, to the extent Applicable Laws permit, will be deemed to be amended




to the minimum extent necessary to conform to Applicable Laws. Any determination in this regard that is made by the Administrator will be final, binding, and conclusive on all interested persons. The obligations of the Company and the rights of Participant are subject to compliance with all Applicable Laws.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the Grant Notice, this Agreement, the RSUs will be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent Applicable Laws permit, this Agreement will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.
4.4    Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Plan and herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
4.5    Notices. (a) General. Any document relating to participation in the Plan, or any notice required or permitted hereunder, shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery, electronic delivery at the electronic mail address, if any, provided for Participant by the Company, or, upon deposit in the U.S. Post Office or Canada Post, by registered or certified mail, or with a nationally recognized overnight courier service with postage and fees prepaid, addressed to the Company (c/o Corporate Secretary of the Company) at the Company’s principal office, and to Participant at the address appearing on the employment records of the Company, or at such other address as such party may designate in writing from time to time to the other party.
(a)    Description of Electronic Delivery. The Plan documents, which may include, but do not necessarily include, the Plan, the Grant Notice, this Agreement, and any prospectus or other report of the Company provided generally to the Company’s shareholders, may be delivered to Participant electronically. In addition, if permitted by the Company, Participant may deliver electronically the Grant Notice to the Company or to such third party involved in administering the Plan as the Company may designate from time to time. Such means of electronic delivery may include, but do not necessarily include, the delivery of a link to a Company intranet or the internet site of a third party involved in administering the Plan, the delivery of the document via electronic mail, or such other means of electronic delivery as may be specified by the Company.
(b)    Consent to Electronic Delivery. Participant hereby acknowledges that Participant has read and understands this Section 4.5, and hereby consents to the electronic delivery of any Plan documents as described in Section 4.5(b). Participant may receive from the Company a paper copy of any documents delivered electronically at no cost to Participant by providing written notice of such request to the Company. Participant will be provided with a paper copy of any documents if the attempted electronic delivery of such documents fails. Participant




understands and hereby agrees that Participant must provide the Company or any designated third party administrator with a paper copy of any document if the attempted electronic delivery of such documents fails. Participant may change the electronic mail address to which such documents are to be delivered at any time by notifying the Company in writing of such revised electronic mail address.
4.6    Administrator Authority; Decisions Conclusive and Binding. Participant hereby (a) acknowledges that a copy of the Plan has been made available for Participant’s review by the Company, (b) represents that Participant is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and (c) accepts the Award subject to all the terms and provisions thereof. The Administrator will have the power to (i) interpret this Agreement, the Grant Notice and the Plan, (ii) adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith, and (iii) interpret or revoke any such rules. Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive, and final all decisions of the Administrator upon any questions arising under the Plan, this Agreement or the Grant Notice. No employee of the Company who is acting with the requisite authority on behalf of the Administrator will be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation that is made in good faith with respect to the Plan, this Agreement or the Grant Notice.
4.7    Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede, in their entirety, all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof. All prior negotiations and agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof are merged into this Agreement and the Grant Notice. Each party to this Agreement and the Grant Notice acknowledges that (a) no representations, inducements, promises, or agreements, orally or otherwise, have been made by any party or by anyone acting on behalf of any party, which are not embodied in this Agreement, the Grant Notice or the Plan, and (b) any agreement, statement, or promise that is not contained in this Agreement, the Grant Notice or the Plan will not be valid or binding or of any force or effect.
4.8    Severability. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Grant Notice or this Agreement to the contrary, if any one or more of the provisions (or any part thereof) of the Grant Notice or this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such provision will be modified so as to make it valid, legal, and enforceable, and the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions (or any part thereof) of the Grant Notice or this Agreement, as applicable, will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
4.9    Survival of Certain Provisions. Wherever appropriate to the intention of the parties hereto, the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement or the Participant’s Termination of Service.
4.10    Limitation on Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual




obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and may not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. Participant will have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the RSUs, and rights no greater than the right to receive cash as a general unsecured creditor with respect to the RSUs, as and when settled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
4.11    Compensation Recoupment. The Award (and the cash issuable thereunder) are subject to the Company’s ability to recover incentive-based compensation from Participant, as is or may be required by (a) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or any regulations or rules promulgated thereunder, (b) any other clawback provision required by Applicable Laws or the listing standards of any applicable stock exchange or national market system, (c) any clawback policies adopted by the Company to implement any such requirements, or (d) any other compensation recovery policies as may be adopted from time to time by the Company, all to the extent that is determined by the Administrator, in its discretion, to be applicable with respect to Participant.
4.12    No Effect on Employment or Service Relationship. Nothing in the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement (a) confers upon Participant any right to continue as an Employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or (b) interferes with or restricts in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, and with or without notice, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary and Participant.
4.13    Construction. Headings in this Agreement are included for convenience and will not be considered in the interpretation of this Agreement. Reference to any statute, rule, or regulation includes any amendment thereto or any replacement thereof, as well as the authoritative guidance issued thereunder by the appropriate governmental entity. Pronouns will be construed to include the masculine, feminine, neutral, singular or plural as the identity of the antecedent may require. A reference to any party to this Agreement will include such party’s successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement will be construed according to its fair meaning and not strictly construed against the Company.
4.14    Counterparts. The Grant Notice may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by way of any electronic signature, subject to Applicable Laws, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
4.15    Modification. Any modification of this Agreement shall be binding only if evidenced in writing and signed by the Administrator, or its delegate. The Participant’s consent to such modification shall be required unless (i) the action does not materially and adversely affect the Participant’s rights under the Agreement and Grant Notice, or (ii) the change is permitted under Article X or pursuant to Section 12.5 of the Plan.
