The objectives of this Plan are:
(i)
to compensate Directors commensurate with the risks, responsibilities and time commitments assumed by Board members;
(ii)
to attract and retain the services of the most qualified individuals to serve on the Board;
(iii)
to align the interests of Directors with the Corporation’s shareholders;
(iv)
to provide competitive levels of compensation by considering various pay components typically provided to directors; and
(v)
to deliver such compensation in a tax effective manner.
(c)
The Board provides oversight and stewardship over this Plan through the Governance Committee and has overall responsibility for determining the philosophical framework of the Directors’ compensation program.

3.
ADMINISTRATION
The Governance Committee will administer this Plan in its discretion. The Governance Committee shall have the power to interpret the provisions of this Plan and to make regulations and formulate administrative provisions for its implementation, and to make such changes in the regulations and administrative provisions as, from time to time, the Governance Committee deems proper and in the best interests of the Corporation.

(b)
The Governance Committee will, from time to time, with the assistance of qualified external experts in the area of compensation benchmarking, review and determine the appropriate comparable public corporations against which comparisons are made (the “Comparator Group”) with the intention that such Comparator Group be consistent with the periodic evaluation of executive management compensation.
(c)
To the extent possible and appropriate, the Governance Committee shall align the Comparator Group with the group used to benchmark executive management compensation practices as approved by the Human Resources & Compensation Committee (refer to Enbridge Inc. senior management compensation policy Compensation Comparators).

DIRECTORS’ COMPENSATION
(a)
General
The Board, on the recommendation of the Governance Committee, shall determine from time to time the amount of compensation to be paid to Directors (the “Compensation”) including, without limitation, amounts in respect of retainers (including the retainer for the Chair of the Corporation and Chairs of committees of the Board), Board meeting and committee meeting attendance fees, and any other amounts which the Board in its discretion considers to be appropriate. In addition, the Board shall determine the amount of expenses, if any, for which the Directors will be reimbursed.
(a)
Fee Structure and Payment Particulars
(i)
Compensation will be made on the basis of a flat fee structure that incorporates all Board, committee, and Chair retainers as determined by the Board. The Board’s policy is to target flat fee levels at the 50th percentile of total compensation levels paid to directors of the Comparator Group (as defined in Section 4).
(ii)
As of January 1, 2020, Compensation shall be as set out in Appendix “A”. Changes to Appendix “A” may be made by the Board following a recommendation of or consultation with the Governance Committee. Upon any such change being approved by the Board, a new Appendix “A” incorporating the changes and effective as of the date established by the Board shall be attached to the Plan and become Appendix “A” for all purposes of the Plan.
(iii)
Compensation is paid quarterly, in arrears. All Directors, regardless of country of residency, shall be paid in US dollars.
(iv)
A percentage of the Compensation may be withheld in cases where a Director’s attendance at Board meetings or Committee meetings or both, falls below the established minimum. The Governance Committee will review the continuation of the Director on the Board if an inordinate number of meetings are missed.
(v)
At any time, the Board, on the recommendation of the Governance Committee, may grant to Directors a Bonus Retainer in the form of a direct grant of DSUs. For U.S. Taxpayers only, DSUs comprising a Bonus Retainer shall be payable on December 31 of the year following the year of the Director’s Retirement Date and no U.S. Taxpayer shall be permitted to elect the form or timing of payment of any portion of a Bonus Retainer.

5


(b)
Forms of Payment
The Board, on the recommendation of the Governance Committee, shall determine the portion(s), if any, of the Compensation that a Director may elect to receive by way of cash, Shares or Deferred Stock Units. 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.
COMPENSATION - SHARES
(a)
In respect of any amount of Compensation payable to a Director in Shares, funds sufficient for the purchase in the open market of such Shares shall be paid to the Trustee by the Corporation in trust for such Director from time to time, and shall be applied by the Trustee to the purchase of Shares, in the open market on a stock exchange, for that Director.
(b)
The Shares to which a Director becomes entitled hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of the Market Value thereof two (2) weeks prior to the Payment Date.
(c)
The Trustee shall cause such Shares to be registered in the name of the Director and held in electronic book-entry form through the DRS.
(d)
The Trustee shall cause the transfer agent to provide (i) a Direct Registration (DRS) Advice to each Director promptly after each purchase of Shares on such Director’s behalf, which will set out the number of Shares so purchased and the aggregate number of Shares held by such Director in the DRS, and (ii) a Direct Registration (DRS) Statement to each such Director annually. In addition, the Trustee shall promptly provide any other information required by the Director for tax reporting purposes.
9.
COMPENSATION - DEFERRED STOCK UNITS
(a)
Deferred Stock Unit Account
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.

6


(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.
