ENBRIDGE SUPPLEMENTAL PENSION PLAN

for United States Employees

Enbridge Inc. ("Enbridge"), a Canadian corporation, established the Enbridge Senior Management Pension Plan (the "Senior Management Plan"), effective January 1, 2000. At the time of its adoption, most of the employees participating in the Senior Management Plan who were U.S. citizens and residents ("U.S. Residents") were employed by Enbridge (U.S.) Inc., an affiliate of Enbridge and a United States corporation organized and existing under the laws of the state of Delaware.

Effective January 1, 2002, Enbridge established Enbridge Employee Services, Inc., also an affiliate ofEnbridge and a U.S. corporation organized and existing under the laws of the state of Delaware, and transferred to it certain individuals, including most ofthe U.S. Residents participating in the Senior Management Plan. In connection with the establishment of Enbridge Employee Services, Inc., sponsorship of the Senior Management Plan with respect to the U.S. Residents has been transferred to Enbridge Employee Services, Inc., effective January 1, 2002. That portion of the Senior Management Plan whose sponsorship has been transferred to
Enbridge Employee Services, Inc. shall be referred to hereinafter as the "Plan."

In general, the term "Company" as used herein means Enbridge (U.S.) Inc. for periods prior to January 1, 2002, and Enbridge Employee Services, Inc. for periods on or after January 1,
2002, subject to Section 9.12. (The Plan, at Section 9.12, allows certain Affiliates ofEnbridge Employee Services, Inc. or Enbridge (U.S.) Inc. to adopt the Plan and thereby become a "Participating Affiliate" in the Plan, in which case, subject to the limitations set forth in Section
9.13, the term "Company," as used herein with respect to the employees of such Participating
Affiliate, means the Participating Affiliate.)

When Enbridge established the Senior Management Plan, the document evidencing its terms was in summary form. Enbridge Employee Services, Inc. hereby restates the Plan to: (1) describe its terms in greater specificity; (2) rename it the "Enbridge Supplemental Pension Plan for United States Employees;" (3) clarify that effective January 1, 2002, the sponsor of the Plan is Enbridge Employee Services, Inc.; and (4) provide for the payment of certain nonqualified pension benefits for certain former employees ofEnbridge (U.S.) Inc. and for certain special nonqualified pension benefits for specified key employees.

The Plan is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan established for the benefit of certain executive employees of the Company. The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation "for a select group of management or highly compensated employees," as described in Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and
401(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). It is the intention of the Company that the Plan, as amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2005, satisfies all of the requirements of Section 409A, with respect to all benefits accrued hereunder as of and subsequent to January 1, 2005. If any provision herein results in the imposition of an excise tax on any Participant under Section 409A, such provision will be reformed to avoid any such imposition of tax in such manner as the Board determines, with the advice of the legal counsel, to be appropriate to comply with Section 409A.



Except as set forth in Addenda B and C hereto, the terms of the Plan shall apply to
Participants who terminate employment with an Affiliate on or after January 1, 2000.

The Company has established a grantor trust, called the "Trust under the Enbridge Supplemental Pension Plan for United States Employees," to hold assets that the Company may set aside from time to time to provide for payment of benefits under the Plan.

(G)
the Participant's Accrued Benefit was equal to two percent (2%) ofthe Participant's Average Final Pay (as determined pursuant to (E), above) multiplied by his or her Credited Service (as determined pursuant to (A), above) and was calculated without the Statutory Limitations, less any
