The DSUs are immediately fully vested and are redeemable only following Mr. Malquist's termination of Board service. The DSUs were credited to the director's share unit account as distributions, effective on the payment date for distributions paid by TC PipeLines, LP on the Common Units. Pursuant to the Share Unit Plan for Non-Employee Directors (2007), the number of DSUs credited for distributions is calculated based on the distribution declared and paid on Common Units multiplied by the number of DSUs in the director's share account on the record date of such distribution, divided by the fair market value of Common Units on the payment date for such distribution. /s/ Avery C.
