termination, (4) a payment equal to the benefit she would have accrued under the

pension plan during the two years following the date of termination,
(5) reimbursement of up to US$20,000 for financial and/or career counseling
assistance, (6) an adjusted benefit under the Canadian supplemental pension plan

average of the short-term incentive awards she was paid in the two years
immediately preceding her date of termination, and (6) with respect to any
unvested stock options held as of the termination date, a cash amount in respect
of the excess (if any) of the fair market value of Enbridge Inc. common shares
over the exercise price of such options; provided that any payment of such
amounts is subject to Ms. Hansen's execution and non-revocation of a general
release of claims in favor of Enbridge Inc., the Company and their respective
affiliates.
Pursuant to the Employment Agreement Ms. Hansen is bound by a perpetual
confidentiality covenant with regards to Company Confidential Information (as
that term is defined in the Employment Agreement), one-year post-termination
