The Employment Agreement provides that in the event Mr. Ebel's employment is
terminated (A) by the Company without Cause or due to Mr. Ebel's disability or
(B) by Mr. Ebel for Good Reason (as each such term is defined in the Employment
Agreement), Mr. Ebel would be entitled to receive (1) a lump sum severance
payment equal to two times the sum of his (x) annual salary and (y) the average
of the short-term incentive awards paid to Mr. Ebel in the immediately preceding
two years, (2) a pro-rated short term incentive award for the year of
termination, calculated based on the last short-term incentive award paid to
Mr. Ebel, (3) with respect to any other cash incentive compensation to which
Mr. Ebel has a right, payment of a pro-rated amount in accordance with the terms
of such plan, (4) a lump sum payment equal to the present value of the benefit
he would have accrued under the tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan and
the nonqualified supplemental benefit pension plan during the two years
following the date of termination (to the extent he has a vested benefit under
those plans as of the date of termination), plus the amount the Company would
have contributed to his defined contribution savings plan during the two years
following the date of termination, (5) reimbursement of up to US$30,000 for
financial and/or career counseling assistance, 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 Mr. Ebel'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, Mr. Ebel is bound by a perpetual
confidentiality covenant with regards to Confidential Information (as that term
is defined in the Employment Agreement), one-year post-termination
