In this report,
unless the context requires otherwise, references to we, us, our or the Partnership are intended to mean Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries. We refer to our
general partner, Enbridge Energy Company, Inc., as our general partner.

This Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as anticipate, believe, continue, estimate, expect,
forecast, intend, may, plan, position, project, strategy, target, could, should or will and similar words or
statements, express or implied, suggesting future outcomes or statements regarding an outlook or the negative of those terms. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are reasonable based on the information available on the dates
these statements are made and processes used to prepare the information, these statements are not guarantees of future performance and readers are cautioned against placing undue reliance on these statements. By their nature, these statements
involve a variety of assumptions, unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which may cause actual results, levels of activity and performance to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these statements. Material assumptions may
include: the expected supply and demand for crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, or NGLs; prices of crude oil, natural gas and NGLs; inflation rates; interest rates; the availability and price of labor and pipeline construction materials;
operational reliability; anticipated in-service dates; and weather.

Our forward-looking statements are subject to risks
and uncertainties pertaining to operating performance, regulatory parameters, weather, economic conditions, interest rates and commodity prices including but not limited to those risks and uncertainties discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q and our other reports that we have filed or will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The impact of any one risk, uncertainty or factor on a particular forward-looking statement is not determinable with certainty as these are
independent and our future course of action depends on the assessment of all information available at the relevant time by those responsible for the management of our operations. Except to the extent required by law, we assume no obligation to
publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements made herein whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All subsequent forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, attributable to us or persons acting on our
behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. For additional discussion of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, see  Risk Factors included in Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ENBRIDGE ENERGY PARTNERS, L.P.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for interim consolidated financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, they contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
which management considers necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 31, 2010, and our results of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. We derived our consolidated
statement of financial position as of December 31, 2009 from the audited financial statements included in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 should not be
taken as indicative of the results to be expected for the full year due to seasonality of portions of our natural gas business, timing and completion of our construction projects, maintenance activities and the impact of forward natural gas prices
and differentials on certain derivative financial instruments that are accounted for using mark-to-market accounting. Our interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

2. NET INCOME PER LIMITED
PARTNER AND GENERAL PARTNER UNIT

We allocate our net income among our general partner and limited partners using the
two-class method in accordance with applicable authoritative accounting guidance. Under the two-class method, we allocate our net income, including any incentive distribution rights, or IDRs, embedded in the general partner interest, to our general
partner and our limited partners according to the distribution formula for available cash as set forth in our partnership agreement. We also allocate any earnings in excess of distributions to our general partner and limited partners utilizing the
distribution formula for available cash specified in our partnership agreement. We allocate any distributions in excess of earnings for the period to our general partner and limited partners based on their sharing of losses of 2% and 98%,
respectively, as set forth in our partnership agreement. The formula for distributing available cash as set forth in our partnership agreement is as follows:



|                                |  |                                           |  |                                         |  |

3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In November 2009, we sold non-core natural gas pipeline assets located predominantly outside of Texas. We have presented the operating
results of the natural gas pipeline assets we sold for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 in Income from discontinued operations on our consolidated statement of income. The following table presents the operating results of
the discontinued operations of our natural gas pipeline assets that we derived from historical financial information:

We extinguish liabilities when a creditor has relieved us of our obligation, which occurs when our financial institution honors a check
that the creditor has presented for payment. Accordingly, obligations for which we have issued check payments that have not yet been presented to the financial institution totaling approximately $22.5 million at March 31, 2010 and
$24.2 million at December 31, 2009 are included in Accounts payable and other on our consolidated statements of financial position.

7. DEBT

Credit Facility

At March 31, 2010, we had no amounts outstanding under our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which we refer to as our
Credit Facility, and letters of credit totaling $3.5 million. The amounts we may borrow under the terms of our Credit Facility are reduced by the principal amount of our commercial paper issuances and the balance of our letters of credit
outstanding. At March 31, 2010, we could borrow $889.0 million under the terms of our Credit Facility, determined as follows:



|                                                |  |               |        
|----------------------------------------------- |  | ------------- | -------
|                                                |  | (in millions)
|Total credit available under Credit Facility    |  | $             | 1,167.5
|Less: Amounts outstanding under Credit Facility |  |               |       
|Balance of letters of credit outstanding        |  |               | 3.5    
|Principal amount of commercial paper issuances  |  |               | 275.0  
|                                                |  |               |        
|Total amount we could borrow at March 31, 2010  |  | $             | 889.0  
|                                                |  |               |        

Individual borrowings under the terms of our Credit
Facility generally become due and payable at the end of each contract period, which is typically a period of three months or less. We have the option to repay these amounts on a non-cash basis by net settling with the parties to our Credit Facility
by contemporaneously borrowing at the then current rate of interest and repaying the principal amount due. During the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, we net settled borrowings of approximately $915 million and $240 million,
respectively, on a non-cash basis.

Commercial Paper

We have a commercial paper program that provides for the issuance of up to $600 million of commercial paper that is supported by our
Credit Facility. We access the commercial paper market primarily to provide temporary financing for our operating activities, capital expenditures and acquisitions when the available interest rates we can obtain are lower than the rates available
under our Credit Facility. At March 31, 2010, we had $275.0 million of commercial paper outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 0.35%. At December 31, 2009, we had no amounts of commercial paper outstanding. At March 31,
2010, we could issue an additional $325.0 million in principal amount under our commercial paper program. The commercial paper we can issue is limited by the credit available under our Credit Facility.

We have the ability and intent to refinance all of our commercial paper obligations on a long-term basis under our unsecured long-term
Credit Facility. Accordingly, such amounts have been classified as Long-term debt in our accompanying consolidated statements of financial position.

Senior Notes

In
March 2010, we issued and sold $500 million in principal amount of our 5.20% senior notes due March 15, 2020, which we refer to as the Notes. We received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $496.1 million after
underwriting discounts and commissions and payment of offering expenses. We used the net proceeds we received from this offering to repay a portion of our outstanding commercial paper and Credit Facility borrowings that we had previously used to
finance a portion of our capital expansion projects. We temporarily invested a portion of the remaining proceeds for use in future periods to fund additional expenditures under our capital expansion programs. The Notes do not contain any covenants
restricting our issuance of additional indebtedness and rank equally with all of our other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. Interest on the Notes is payable on March 15th and September 15th of each
year and we may redeem the Notes for cash in whole or in part at any time at our option subject to a make-whole redemption premium.

##### Table of Contents

Fair Value of Debt Obligations

The table below presents the carrying amounts and approximate fair values of our debt obligations. The carrying amounts of our outstanding
commercial paper and Credit Facility borrowings approximate their fair values at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 due to the short-term nature and frequent repricing of these obligations. The approximate fair values of our long-term
debt obligations are determined using a standard methodology that incorporates pricing points that are obtained from independent third-party investment dealers who actively make markets in our debt securities. We use these pricing points to
calculate the present value of the principal obligation to be repaid at maturity and all future interest payment obligations for any debt outstanding.

##### Table of Contents

The following table presents significant changes in partners capital attributable to
our general and limited partners as well as the noncontrolling interest in our consolidated subsidiary, Enbridge Energy, Limited Partnership, or the OLP, for the three month period ended March 31, 2010. The noncontrolling interest in the OLP
arises from our joint funding arrangement with our general partner and its affiliates to finance construction of the Alberta Clipper Project.

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

EUS Credit Agreement

In March 2010, we terminated our unsecured revolving credit agreement with Enbridge (U.S.) Inc. in accordance with the terms of the
agreement and without penalty.

Light Sour Crude Oil Pipeline

Enbridge Pipelines (Southern Lights), L.L.C., which we refer to as Southern Lights, a wholly-owned subsidiary of our general partner,
incurred an additional $1.9 million of construction costs during the three month period ended March 31, 2010, associated with the light sour crude oil pipeline they transferred to us in exchange for Line 13, a 156-mile section of crude oil
pipeline we previously owned. These additional costs increase the balance of our Property, plant and equipment, net and the capital account of our general partner. Through March 31, 2010 we have recorded total costs for the light
sour crude oil pipeline of $168.4 million, representing the $173.4 million of construction costs incurred by Southern Lights less the $5.0 million net book value of the Line 13 assets we exchanged.

Joint Funding Arrangement for Alberta Clipper Project

In July 2009, we entered into a joint funding arrangement to finance construction of the United States segment of the Alberta Clipper
crude oil pipeline project, which we refer to as the Alberta Clipper Project, with several of our affiliates and affiliates of Enbridge Inc., or Enbridge. In March 2010, we refinanced $324.6 million of amounts we had outstanding and payable to our
general partner under the A1 Credit Agreement, a credit agreement between our general partner and us to finance the Alberta Clipper Project, by issuing a promissory note payable to our general partner, at which time we also terminated the A1 Credit
Agreement. The promissory note payable, which we refer to as the A1 Term Note, matures on March 15, 2020, and bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.20% and has a maximum loan amount of $400 million. The terms of the A1 Term Note are similar to
the terms of our senior notes, except that the A1 Term Note has recourse only to the assets of the United States portion of the Alberta Clipper Project. Under the terms of the A1 Term Note, we have the ability to increase the principal amount
outstanding to finance the debt portion of the investment our general partner is obligated to make pursuant to the Alberta Clipper Joint Funding Arrangement to finance any additional costs associated with our construction of our portion of the
Alberta Clipper Project we incur after the date the original A1 Term Note was issued. The increases we make to the principal balance of the A1 Term Note will also mature on March 15, 2020. At March 31, 2010, we had approximately $332.9
million outstanding under the A1 Term Note.

##### Table of Contents

Our general partner also made equity contributions totaling $77.3 million to our subsidiary,
Enbridge Energy, Limited Partnership, or the OLP, during the three month period ended March 31, 2010, to fund its equity portion of the construction costs associated with the Alberta Clipper Project. We also allocated $10.7 million of earnings
to our general partner for its 66.67 percent of the earnings of the Alberta Clipper Project derived from the allowance for equity during construction, which is presented in our consolidated statements of income as Net income attributable to
noncontrolling interest.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental Liabilities

We are subject to federal and state laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. Environmental risk is inherent to
liquid hydrocarbon and natural gas pipeline operations and we could, at times, be subject to environmental cleanup and enforcement actions. We manage this environmental risk through appropriate environmental policies and practices to minimize any
impact our operations may have on the environment. To the extent that we are unable to recover environmental liabilities associated with the Lakehead system assets through insurance, our general partner has agreed to indemnify us from and against
any costs relating to environmental liabilities associated with the Lakehead system assets prior to the transfer of these assets to us in 1991. This excludes any liabilities resulting from a change in laws after such transfer. We continue to
voluntarily investigate past leak sites on our systems for the purpose of assessing whether any remediation is required in light of current regulations, and to date, no material environmental risks have been identified.

As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we have recorded $9.3 million and $7.3 million, respectively, in Accounts
payable and other and $3.9 million and $3.4 million in Other long-term liabilities, respectively, primarily to address remediation of contaminated sites, asbestos containing materials, management of hazardous waste material
disposal, outstanding air quality measures for certain of our liquids and natural gas assets, and penalties we have been or expect to be assessed.

Lakehead Line 2b Leak

On January 8, 2010, an unexpected release on Line 2b of our Lakehead system occurred in Pembina County, North Dakota. We immediately
shut down our pipelines in the vicinity and dispatched emergency response crews to oversee containment, cleanup and repair of the pipeline. We completed the excavation and repairs and returned the line to service within five days. Line 2b was
restarted January 13, 2010, once repairs on the pipeline were completed. The volume of oil released was approximately 3,000 barrels, which was largely contained in an area surrounding the pipeline leak. We continue to work with federal and
state environmental and pipeline safety regulators to investigate the cause of the leak. We have the potential of incurring additional costs in connection with this incident, including expenditures necessary to remediate any operating condition that
is determined to have caused the incident. On our consolidated statement of financial position as of March 31, 2010, we had $2.9 million accrued for additional cleanup and repair costs associated with the incident.

Legal and Regulatory Proceedings

We are a participant in various legal and regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these proceedings are
covered, in whole or in part, by insurance. We are also, directly, or indirectly, subject to challenges by special interest groups to regulatory approvals and permits for certain of our expansion projects. We believe that the outcome of these legal
and regulatory proceedings and related actions will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our operating results, cash flows or financial position.

11. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Our net income and cash flows are subject to volatility stemming from changes in interest rates on our variable rate debt obligations and
fluctuations in commodity prices of natural gas, NGLs, condensate, crude oil, and fractionation margins. Fractionation margins represent the relative difference between the price we receive from NGL sales and the corresponding cost of natural gas we
purchase for processing. Our interest rate risk exposure results from changes in interest rates on our variable rate debt, and exists at the corporate level where our variable rate debt obligations are issued. Our exposure to commodity price risk
exists within each of our segments. We use derivative financial instruments (i.e., futures, forwards, swaps, options and other financial instruments with similar characteristics) to manage the risks associated with market fluctuations in
interest rates and commodity prices, as well as to reduce volatility to our cash flows. Based on our risk management policies, all of our derivative financial instruments are employed in connection with an underlying asset, liability and/or
forecasted transaction and are not entered into with the objective of speculating on interest rates or commodity prices. We have hedged a portion of our exposure to variability in future cash flows associated with the risks discussed above through
2014 in accordance with our risk management policies.

We record all derivative financial instruments in our consolidated
financial statements at fair market value, which we adjust each period for changes in the fair market value, referred to as marking to market, or mark-to-market. The fair market value of these derivative financial instruments reflects the estimated
amounts that we would pay to transfer a liability or receive to sell an asset in an orderly transaction with market participants, to terminate or close the contracts at the reporting date, taking into account the current unrealized losses or gains
on open contracts. We apply the market approach to value substantially all of our derivative instruments. Actively traded external market quotes, data from pricing services, and published indices are used to value our derivative instruments which
are fair valued on a recurring basis.

Non-Qualified Hedges

Many of our derivative financial instruments qualify for hedge accounting treatment as set forth in the authoritative accounting guidance.
However, we have transaction types associated with our commodity and interest rate derivative financial instruments where the hedge structure does not meet the requirements to apply hedge accounting. As a result, these derivative financial
instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting and are referred to as non-qualified. These non-qualified derivative financial instruments are marked-to-market each period with the change in fair value, representing unrealized gains and
losses, included in Cost of natural gas, Operating revenues, or Interest expense in our consolidated statements of income. These mark-to-market adjustments produce a degree of earnings volatility that can often be
significant from period to period, but have no cash flow impact relative to changes in market prices. The cash flow impact occurs when the underlying physical transaction takes place in the future and the associated financial instrument contract
settlement is made.

The following transaction types do not qualify for hedge accounting and contribute to the volatility of
our income and cash flows:

Commodity Price Exposures:



| |  |  | TransportationIn our Marketing segment, when we transport natural gas from one location to another, the pricing index used for natural gas
sales is usually different from the pricing index used for natural gas purchases, which exposes us to market price risk relative to changes in those two indices. By entering into a basis swap, where we exchange one pricing index for another, we can
effectively lock in the margin, representing the difference between the sales price and the purchase price, on the combined natural gas purchase and natural gas sale, removing any market price risk on the physical transactions. Although this
represents a sound economic hedging strategy, the derivative financial instruments (i.e., the basis swaps) we use to manage the commodity price risk associated with these transportation contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting, since only
the future margin has been fixed and not the future cash flow. As a result, the changes in fair value of these derivative financial instruments are recorded in earnings.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | StorageIn our Marketing segment, we use derivative financial instruments (i.e., natural gas swaps) to hedge the relative difference
between the injection price paid to purchase and store natural gas and the withdrawal price at which the natural gas is sold from storage. The intent of these derivative financial instruments is to lock in the margin, representing the difference
between the price paid for the natural gas injected and the price received upon withdrawal of the gas from storage in a future period. We do not pursue cash flow hedge accounting treatment for these storage transactions since the underlying
forecasted injection or withdrawal of natural gas may not occur in the period as originally forecast. This can occur because we have the flexibility to make changes in the underlying injection or withdrawal schedule, based on changes in market
conditions. In addition, since the physical natural gas is recorded at the lower of cost or market, timing differences can result when the derivative financial instrument is settled in a period that is different from the period the physical natural
gas is sold from storage. As a result, derivative financial instruments associated with our natural gas storage activities can create volatility in our earnings.

| |  |  | Natural Gas CollarsIn our Natural Gas segment, we previously entered into natural gas collars to hedge the sales price of natural gas. The
natural gas collars were based on a New York Mercantile Exchange, or NYMEX, pricing index, while the physical gas sales were based on a different index. To better align the index of the natural gas collars with the index of the underlying sales, we
de-designated the original cash flow hedging relationship with the intent of contemporaneously re-designating the natural gas collars as hedges of forecasted physical natural gas sales with a NYMEX pricing index. However, because the fair value of
these derivative instruments was a liability to us at re-designation, they are considered net written options and, pursuant to the authoritative accounting guidance, do not qualify for hedge accounting. These derivatives are being marked-to-market,
with the changes in fair value from the date of de-designation recorded to earnings each period. As a result, our operating income will be subject to greater volatility due to movements in the prices of natural gas until the underlying long-term
transactions are settled.

| |  |  | Optional Natural Gas Processing VolumesIn our Natural Gas segment, we use derivative financial instruments to hedge the volumes of NGLs
produced from our natural gas processing facilities. Some of our natural gas contracts allow us the choice to process natural gas when it is economical and allow us to cease doing so when processing becomes uneconomic. We have entered into
derivative financial instruments to fix the sales price of a portion of the NGLs that we produce at our discretion and to fix the associated purchase price of natural gas required for processing. We typically designate derivative financial
instruments associated with NGLs we produce per contractual processing requirements as cash flow hedges when the processing of natural gas is probable of occurrence. However, we are precluded from designating the derivative financial instruments as
qualifying hedges of the respective commodity price risk when the discretionary processing volumes are subject to change. As a result, our operating income will be subject to increased volatility due to fluctuations in NGL prices until the
underlying transactions are settled or offset.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | NGL Forward ContractsIn our Natural Gas segment, we use forward contracts to fix the price of NGLs we purchase and store in inventory and
to fix the price of NGLs that we sell from inventory to meet the demands of our customers that sell and purchase NGLs. Prior to April 1, 2009, these forward contracts were not treated as derivative financial instruments pursuant to the normal
purchase normal sale, or NPNS, exception allowed under authoritative accounting guidance, since the forward contracts resulted in physical receipt or delivery of NGLs. However, evolving markets for NGLs have increased opportunities for a portion of
our forward contracts to be settled net rather than physically receiving or delivering the NGLs. Accordingly, we have revoked the NPNS election on certain forward contracts associated with the liquids marketing operations of Dufour Petroleum, L.P.,
our wholly-owned subsidiary, executed after April 1, 2009. The forward contracts for which we have revoked the NPNS election do not qualify for hedge accounting and are being marked-to-market each period with the changes in fair value recorded
in earnings. As a result, our operating income will be subject to additional volatility associated with fluctuations in NGL prices until the forward contracts are settled.

| |  |  | Natural Gas Forward ContractsIn our Natural Gas segment, we use forward contracts to sell natural gas to our customers. Historically, we
have not considered these contracts to be derivatives under the NPNS exception allowed by authoritative accounting guidance. We subsequently determined that a sub-group of physical natural gas sales contracts with terms allowing for economic net
settlement did not qualify for the NPNS scope exception, and are being marked-to-market each period with the changes in fair value recorded in earnings. As a result, our operating income will be subject to additional volatility associated with the
changes in fair value of these contracts.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Crude Oil ContractsIn our Liquids segment, we use forward contracts to hedge a portion of the crude oil length inherent in the operation
of our pipelines which is subsequently sold at market rates. In 2010, we executed derivative financial instruments for the current year which will fix the sales price we will receive in the future for this crude oil. We elected not to designate
these derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges due to the relatively small volumes involved. As a result, our operating income will be subject to additional volatility associated with fluctuations in crude oil prices until the underlying
transactions are settled or offset.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interest Rate Risk Exposures:



| |  |  | Interest Rate CapsAt the corporate level, our earnings and cash flows are affected by fluctuations in interest rates associated with our
variable interest rate debt. Our variable interest rate borrowing cost is determined at the time of each borrowing or interest rate reset based upon a posted LIBOR for the period of borrowing or interest rate reset, increased by a defined credit
spread. In order to mitigate the negative effect that increasing interest rates can have on our cash flows, we have entered into interest rate caps, which establish a ceiling averaging approximately 1.12% on the interest rates we pay on up to $400
million of our variable rate indebtedness. Although our interest rate caps protect us from the adverse effect of higher interest rates, they do not qualify for hedge accounting and, as a result, changes in the market value of these instruments will
create additional volatility in our earnings.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In all instances related to the commodity exposures described
above, the underlying physical purchase, storage and sale of the commodity is accounted for on a historical cost or market basis rather than on the mark-to-market basis we employ for the derivative financial instruments used to mitigate the
commodity price risk associated with our storage and transportation assets. This difference in accounting (i.e., the derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair market value while the physical transactions are recorded at historical
cost) can and has resulted in volatility in our reported net income, even though the economic margin is essentially unchanged from the date the transactions were consummated.

We record changes in the fair value of our derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting in our consolidated
statements of income as follows:



| |  |  | Natural gas and Marketing segment commodity-based derivativesCost of natural gas
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Liquids segment commodity-based derivativesOperating revenue
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Corporate interest rate derivativesInterest expense

The changes in the net assets and liabilities associated with our derivatives are primarily attributable to
the effects of new derivative transactions we have entered at prevailing market prices, settlement of maturing derivatives and the change in forward market prices of our remaining hedges. Our portfolio of derivative financial instruments is largely
comprised of long-term natural gas and NGL sales and purchase agreements.

We record the change in fair value of our highly
effective cash flow hedges in Accumulated other comprehensive income, or AOCI, until the derivative financial instruments are settled, at which time they are reclassified to earnings. Also included in AOCI are unrecognized losses of
approximately $0.9 million associated with derivative financial instruments that qualified for and were classified as cash flow hedges of forecasted commodity transactions that were subsequently de-designated. These losses are reclassified to
earnings over the periods during which the originally hedged forecasted transactions affect earnings. We estimate that approximately $24.9 million, representing unrealized net losses from our cash flow hedging activities based on pricing and
positions at March 31, 2010, will be reclassified from AOCI to earnings during the next twelve months.

In connection with
our March 2010 issuance and sale of $500 million in principal amount of our 5.20% senior notes due March 15, 2020, we paid $13.2 million to settle treasury locks we entered to hedge the interest payments on a portion of these obligations
through the 2020 maturity date of the senior notes. The $13.2 million is being amortized from AOCI to Interest expense over the 10-year term of the senior notes.

As the net value of our derivative financial instruments has decreased in response to changes in forward commodity
prices, our outstanding financial exposure to third parties has also declined. When credit thresholds are met pursuant to the terms of our International Securities Dealers Association
(ISDA®) financial contracts, we have the right to require collateral from our counterparties. We
have included any cash collateral received in the balances listed above. When we are in a position of posting collateral to cover our counterparties exposure to our non-performance, the collateral is provided through letters of credit, which
are not reflected above.

The
ISDA® agreements and associated credit support, which govern our financial derivative transactions, contain no
credit rating downgrade triggers that would accelerate the maturity dates of our outstanding transactions. A change in ratings is not an event of default under these instruments, and the maintenance of a specific minimum credit rating is not a
condition to transacting under the ISDA® agreements. In the event of a credit downgrade, additional collateral
may be required to be posted under the agreement if we are in a liability position to our counterparty, but the agreement will not automatically terminate or require immediate settlement of amounts due.

The
ISDA® agreements, in combination with our master netting agreements, and credit arrangements governing our
interest rate and commodity swaps require that collateral be posted per tiered contractual thresholds based on the credit rating of each counterparty. We generally provide letters of credit to satisfy such collateral requirements under our
ISDA® agreements. These agreements will require additional collateral postings of up to 100% on net liability
positions in the event of a credit downgrade below investment grade. Automatic termination clauses which exist are related only to non-performance activities, such as the refusal to post collateral when contractually required to do so. When we are
holding an asset position, our counterparties are likewise required to post collateral on their liability (our asset) exposures, also determined by the tiered contractual collateral thresholds. Counterparty collateral may consist of cash or letters
of credit, both of which must be fulfilled with immediately available funds.

At March 31, 2010, we
were in an overall net liability position of $23.8 million, which included assets of $54.0 million. Based on our forward positions at March 31, 2010, if our credit ratings were downgraded to BBB- by Standard & Poors or Baa3 by
Moodys Investors Service, we would be required to provide $27.7 million in the form of either cash collateral or letters of credit to satisfy the requirements of our
ISDA® agreements.

We are holding no cash collateral on our asset exposures and we have provided letters of
credit totaling $2.6 million and $13.1 million relating to our liability exposures pursuant to the margin thresholds in effect at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, under our
ISDA® agreements.

Gross derivative balances are presented below without the effects of collateral received or posted and without the effects of master
netting arrangements. Our assets are adjusted for the non-performance risk of our counterparties using their credit default swap spread rates and are reflected in the fair value. Likewise, in the case of our liabilities, our nonperformance risk is
considered in the valuation, and is also adjusted based on current credit default swap spread rates on our outstanding indebtedness. Our credit exposure for these over-the-counter derivatives is directly with our counterparty and continues until the
maturity or termination of the contracts. A reconciliation between the derivative balances presented at gross values rather than the net amounts we present in our other derivative disclosures, is also provided below.

##### Table of Contents

Inputs to Fair Value Derivative Instruments

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at
fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. We classify financial assets and liabilities in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment
of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect our valuation of the financial assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.

13. REGULATORY MATTERS

Regulatory Accounting

In April 2009, we began applying the authoritative accounting provisions applicable to the regulated operations of our Southern Access
Project, when the facilities rate surcharge associated with the project was both approved by the FERC and uncontested by any of our customers. During 2010 we have under collected revenue related to our Southern Access Project in-part because actual
volumes have been lower than the forecast volumes used to calculate the toll surcharge. For the three month period ended March 31, 2010, we recognized $2.3 million of additional revenue on our consolidated statement of income, along with a
corresponding regulatory receivable on our consolidated statement of financial position at March 31, 2010 related to the difference in transportation volumes. At December 31, 2009 the regulatory receivable related to the differences in our
transportation volumes was $7.5 million. The additional revenue was earned during 2009 and the first three months of 2010, but will not be realized as cash until the second quarter through the first quarter of 2011 following an annual update to our
transportation rates to account for the lower actual delivered volume than estimated. We filed our annual tariff to adjust our transportation rates for the difference between the actual delivered volumes and our estimates, which became effective in
April 2010 as discussed below.

In August 2009, we began applying the authoritative accounting provisions applicable to the
regulated activities of our Alberta Clipper Project. In connection with construction of the Alberta Clipper Project, we recorded $26.9 million and $12.6 million of allowance for equity during construction, referred to as AEDC, in
Property, plant and equipment, net on our consolidated statement of financial position at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. We also recorded a corresponding $14.3 million of Other income, in our
consolidated statement of income for the three month period ended March 31, 2010.

FERC Transportation Tariffs

Effective January 1, 2010, we increased the rates for transportation on our North Dakota system to include a new surcharge related to
the recent completion of our Phase VI Expansion program, which increased capacity on the pipeline from 110,000 barrels per day, or Bpd, to 161,000 Bpd. This surcharge is applicable for the seven years immediately following the January 1, 2010
in-service date of the Phase VI Expansion program. The mainline expansion surcharge is applied to all mainline volumes with a destination of Clearbrook, Minnesota and the looping surcharge is applied to all volumes originating at Trenton and
Alexander, North Dakota.

Effective April 1, 2010, we filed our annual tariff rate adjustment with the FERC to reflect
true-ups for the difference between estimates and actual cost and throughput data for the prior year and our projected costs and throughput for 2010 related to our expansion projects. The projected costs for 2010 include two additional projects: the
Alberta Clipper Project, which was placed into service on April 1, 2010, and the Line 3 conversion project. Filings in early 2010 by shippers requesting the FERC to delay the tariff were dismissed by the FERC in March 2010 in docket number
IS10-139-000. This tariff filing increased the average transportation rate for crude oil movements from the Canadian border to Chicago, Illinois by approximately $0.52 per barrel, to an average of approximately $1.98 per barrel. We will begin to
realize revenues in relation to this increased surcharge as crude oil is delivered from our pipeline, generally the month following the effective date of the tariff.

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Distribution to Partners

On April 28, 2010, the board of directors of Enbridge Management declared a distribution payable to our partners on May 14,
2010. The distribution will be paid to unitholders of record as of May 7, 2010, of our available cash of $134.9 million at March 31, 2010, or $1.0025 per limited partner unit. Of this distribution, $117.8 million will be paid in cash,
$16.7 million will be distributed in i-units to our i-unitholder, and $0.4 million will be retained from our general partner in respect of the i-unit distribution to maintain its two percent general partner interest.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is
based on and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in Item 1. Financial Statements of this report.

Our operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 surpassed our expectations, primarily due to the performance of
our Liquids segment assets. Additionally, we continue to reap the benefits of the cost containment measures we implemented during 2009 as well as the cash flow we derive from our stable platform of midstream energy assets and solid liquidity
position. As a result of the consistent and sustainable growth in our cash flows, the board of directors of Enbridge Management, L.L.C., as delegate of our general partner, announced a $0.05 per unit increase in our annual distribution rate to
$4.01 per year. With the substantial completion of our historic capital expansion program, we are well positioned to pursue opportunities for accretive acquisitions in or near areas in which we have a competitive advantage or in areas where we
can deploy our successful operating strategy to enhance the value of our franchise.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONSOVERVIEW

We provide services to our customers and returns for our unitholders primarily through the following activities:



| |  |  | Interstate pipeline transportation and storage of crude oil and liquid petroleum;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Gathering, treating, processing and transportation of natural gas and natural gas liquids, or NGLs, through pipelines and related facilities; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Supply, transportation and sales services, including purchasing and selling natural gas and NGLs.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We conduct our business through three business segments: Liquids, Natural Gas and Marketing. These segments are strategic business units
established by senior management to facilitate the achievement of our long-term objectives, to aid in resource allocation decisions and to assess operational performance.

The following table reflects our operating income by business segment and corporate charges for each of the three months ended
March 31, 2010 and 2009. We have removed from Income from continuing operations, for the three month period ended March 31, 2009, the amounts comprising the operating results of non-core natural gas pipeline assets that we sold
in November 2009 and presented the amounts in Income from discontinued operations.

Contractual arrangements in our Liquids, Natural Gas and Marketing segments expose us to
market risk associated with changes in commodity prices where we receive crude oil, natural gas or NGLs in return for the services we provide or where we purchase natural gas or NGLs. Our unhedged commodity position is fully exposed to fluctuations
in commodity prices. These fluctuations can be significant if commodity prices experience significant volatility. We employ derivative financial instruments to hedge a portion of our commodity position and to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in
crude oil, natural gas and NGL prices. Some of these derivative financial instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting under the provisions of authoritative accounting guidance, which can create volatility in our earnings that can be significant.
However, these fluctuations in earnings do not affect our cash flow. Cash flow is only affected when we settle the derivative instrument.

Summary Analysis of Operating Results

Liquids

Operating income from our Liquids segment increased for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 from the same period in 2009
primarily due to the following:



| |  |  | Transportation rate increases that went into effect on the following dates:
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | April 2009 for the completion and start-up of the second stage of our Southern Access Project;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | July 2009 for the annual index rate ceiling adjustment; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | January 2010 for the completion of phase VI of our North Dakota expansion project.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Additional revenue resulting from higher crude oil prices associated with the allowance oil we receive in connection with our transportation services;
and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Higher delivered volumes on our North Dakota system as a result of the completion of the Phase VI expansion.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The above increases to operating income were partially offset by:



| |  |  | Revenue we recognized in the three month period ended March 31, 2009 associated with a joint tolling arrangement with the Mustang Pipe Line, LLC,
or Mustang, that we did not recognize during the same period in 2010;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Containment, cleanup and repair costs incurred in connection with an oil release on Line 2b of our Lakehead system in January 2010; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Increased operating costs and depreciation associated with the additional assets we have placed into service.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Natural Gas

The following factors affected the operating income of our Natural Gas business for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared
with the same period of 2009:



| |  |  | Unrealized, non-cash, mark-to-market net gains of $10.2 million associated with derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge
accounting treatment under authoritative accounting guidance in 2010 compared with $10.0 million of net losses we experienced in the same period of 2009;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Decline in transportation volumes associated with lower natural gas production in the areas we serve; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Reduced workforce related costs associated with our systems.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------

Marketing

The operating results of our Marketing segment for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period of 2009 were
affected by the following:



| |  |  | A decrease in operating income derived from the sale of natural gas to our customers as a result of narrowing natural gas transportation differentials
between market centers; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Unrealized, non-cash, mark-to-market net losses of $0.4 million in 2010 compared to $6.9 million of losses generated in the same period of 2009
associated with derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under authoritative accounting guidance.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Derivative Transactions and Hedging Activities

We use derivative financial instruments (i.e., futures, forwards, swaps, options and other financial instruments with similar
characteristics) to manage the risks associated with market fluctuations in commodity prices and interest rates and reduce variability in our cash flows. Based on our risk management policies, all of our derivative financial instruments are employed
in connection with an underlying asset, liability and/or forecasted transaction and are not entered into with the objective of speculating on commodity prices or interest rates. We record all derivative instruments in our consolidated financial
statements at fair market value pursuant to the requirements of applicable authoritative accounting guidance. We record changes in the fair value of our derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting in our consolidated
statements of income as follows:



| |  |  | Natural gas and Marketing segment commodity-based derivatives Cost of natural gas
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Liquids segment commodity-based derivativesOperating revenue
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Corporate interest rate derivativesInterest expense
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------

The changes in fair value of our derivatives are also presented as a reconciling item on our consolidated statements of cash flows. The
following table presents the net unrealized gains and losses associated with the changes in fair value of our derivative financial instruments:

Three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with three months ended March 31, 2009

Our Liquids segment accounted for $128.7 million of operating income for the three month period ended March 31, 2010,
representing an increase of $26.5 million over the same period in 2009. Operating revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 increased by $42.4 million to $261.8 million from $219.4 million for the same period in
2009. The increase in operating revenue is due to the following:



| |  |  | Increased average rates for transportation on all of our major systems as noted below;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Additional revenue resulting from higher crude oil prices associated with the allowance oil we receive in connection with our transportation services;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Higher delivered volumes on our North Dakota system; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Revenue recognized in 2010 resulting from our application of the provisions of regulatory accounting.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Partially offsetting these increases in operating revenue was revenue we recognized in the three month period ended March 31, 2009
resulting from our joint tolling arrangement with Mustang that we did not recognize for the same period in 2010.

Increases in average transportation rates on all three Liquids systems contributed
approximately $39.8 million of additional operating revenue. The rate increases included the following:



| |  |  | Effective April 1, 2009, we increased the rates for transportation on our Lakehead system in connection with the completion of Stage 2 of our
Southern Access Project. We also increased the transportation rates on our Lakehead system for additional facilities we added for which we receive a cost-of-service return and a true-up for costs associated with our Southern Access Stage 1 project;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Effective July 1, 2009, we increased the average transportation rates on all three of our Liquids systems in connection with the annual index rate
ceiling adjustment; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Effective January 1, 2010, we increased the rates for transportation on our North Dakota system to include a new surcharge related to the recent
completion of our Phase VI Expansion program.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our transportation tariffs allow our pipelines to deduct an
allowance from our customers for the transportation of their crude oil. We recognize revenue for this allowance at the prevailing market price for crude oil. The average prices of crude oil during the three month period ended March 31, 2010
were substantially higher than the average prices for the same period of 2009. For example, the average price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil has increased approximately 83 percent for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, as
compared with the same period in 2009. As a result of the increase in crude oil prices, we have experienced an approximate $7.3 million increase in allowance oil revenues.

In March 2010, we began to use forward contracts to hedge a portion of the crude oil volumes we expect to receive from our customers as
part of the transportation of their crude oil. We subsequently sell this crude oil at market rates. We executed derivative financial instruments for the current year which will fix the sales price we will receive in the future for this crude oil. We
elected not to designate these derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges due to the relatively small volumes of crude oil involved. As a result of the change in the forward price of crude oil in the three month period ended March 31,
2010, we recognized $1.2 million of unrealized non-cash mark-to-market net losses related to these derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting.

Average delivery volumes on our North Dakota system increased approximately 47 percent, to 167,000 Bpd for the three month period
ended March 31, 2010 from 114,000 Bpd during the same period in 2009. This increase contributed an additional $7.4 million to operating revenue. The increase in average deliveries on our North Dakota system is the result of our completion
in late 2009 of the Phase VI expansion of our North Dakota system, which increased the system capacity to 161,000 Bpd from the 110,000 Bpd that was previously available. We anticipate that our first full year of earnings before interest, income tax,
depreciation and amortization expenses from the Phase VI expansion of our North Dakota system will approximate $35 million.

During 2010, we recognized $2.3 million of revenue and a corresponding regulatory receivable for amounts we will recover in future periods
under the terms of the transportation agreements established for our Southern Access pipeline. The revenue we recognized is due to fewer volumes being transported on our system than anticipated when our current rates were established under the
cost-of-service recovery model. These revenues were earned during the three month period ended March 31, 2010, and will be realized as cash throughout the rest of 2010 and 2011 through our updated transportation rates that became effective
April 1, 2010.

For the three month period ended March 31, 2009, we recognized approximately $13.8 million of
operating revenue on our Lakehead system for services provided from October 2005 through December 2008 in connection with a joint tariff arrangement between Enbridge Energy, Limited Partnership, or the OLP, and Mustang. Similar revenues were not
recorded during the three month period ended March 31, 2010.

Operating and administrative expenses for the Liquids
segment increased $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared with the same period in 2009 primarily due to the following:



| |  |  | Increased workforce related costs associated with the operational, administrative, regulatory, and compliance support necessary for our systems
resulting from our recently completed expansions;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Approximately $4.0 million of containment, cleanup and repair costs incurred in connection with a crude oil release on Line 2b of our Lakehead system;
and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | Higher operating costs associated with our lease of Line 13 from an affiliate of Enbridge Energy Company, Inc., our general partner, which contributed
$3.1 million to our costs, which we are recovering through a tolling surcharge on our Lakehead system with the net effect on our cash flow and operating income expected to approximate zero over the life of the lease.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Power costs decreased $1.1 million in the three month period ended March 31, 2010, compared with the same period in 2009. The
decline in power costs is primarily associated with the additional capacity provided by our Southern Access Project that has enabled us to more efficiently utilize our pipelines to transport crude oil. The larger diameter pipeline that was used to
construct the Southern Access Project allows for crude oil to more easily flow through our system by increasing the overall capacity of the Lakehead system which in turn allows the system to operate more efficiently and reduce the costs of pumping
crude oil through the system.

The increase in depreciation expense of $7.7 million is directly attributable to the
additional assets we have placed in service during 2009 and 2010, the most significant of which are the second stage of the Southern Access Project and the North Dakota Phase VI expansion that we placed in service during the second quarter of 2009
and the first quarter of 2010, respectively.

Future Prospects Update for Liquids

The following discussion provides an update to the status of projects that we and Enbridge Inc., or Enbridge, are currently
developing and should be read in conjunction with the information included in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Partnership Projects

Alberta Clipper

The Alberta Clipper Project involves construction of a new 36-inch diameter pipeline from Hardisty, Alberta, Canada to Superior,
Wisconsin, generally within or alongside our existing rights-of-way in the United States and Enbridges existing rights-of-way in Canada. The Alberta Clipper Project will interconnect with our existing mainline system in Superior where it will
provide access to our full range of delivery points and storage options, including Chicago, Illinois, Toledo, Ohio, Sarnia, Ontario, Patoka, Illinois and Cushing, Oklahoma. The project will have an initial capacity of 450,000 Bpd, is expandable to
800,000 Bpd and will form part of the existing Enbridge system in Canada and our Lakehead system in the United States. The transportation service agreements for the Alberta Clipper Project provide for a full cost of service recovery with a return of
225 basis points over the NEB multi pipeline rate of return.

We anticipate our share of the first full year of earnings before
interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization expenses resulting from operating this pipeline will approximate $55 million.

The United States segment of the Alberta Clipper Project was mechanically complete in March 2010 and was ready for service on
April 1, 2010. The process of linefill for the United States segment has begun and will be complete by the end of this year. As a result of excellent progress made during the winter construction period that ended in March 2010, the cost of the
United States segment is expected to approximate $1.2 billion, with expenditures to date totaling $1.1 billion.

We filed the
tariff for the United States segment of the Alberta Clipper crude oil pipeline with the FERC effective April 1, 2010 based on the Alberta Clipper U.S. Term Sheet. Filings in early 2010 by shippers requesting the FERC to delay the tariff were
dismissed by the FERC in March 2010 in docket number IS10-139-000.

Other Matters

In March 2010, the NEB approved the application of a competing pipeline company to construct a crude oil pipeline from Hardisty, Alberta
to the United States Gulf Coast that could be in service during the 2013 to 2014 timeframe. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, this competing pipeline may have on the operations of our Lakehead system.

Three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with three months
ended March 31, 2009

Our Natural Gas segment contributed $36.6 million of operating income for the three month period
ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $20.3 million from the $16.3 million contributed in the corresponding period of 2009. The following discussion presents the primary factors affecting the operating income of our Natural Gas
business for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 as compared with the same period of 2009:



| |  |  | A $20.2 million increase resulting from $10.2 million of unrealized, non-cash, mark-to-market net gains from derivative instruments that do not
qualify for hedge accounting treatment under authoritative accounting guidance, as compared with losses of $10.0 million for the same period of 2009;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Lower average daily volumes of natural gas on our systems, as a result of lower natural gas production associated with reduced drilling by natural gas
producers in the areas we serve; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Overall improvement in operating and administrative costs as a result of reduced workforce-related costs associated with our systems.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes in the average forward prices of natural gas, NGLs and condensate from December 31, 2009 to
March 31, 2010, produced unrealized, non-cash, mark-to-market net gains of $10.2 million from our non-qualifying commodity derivatives used to economically hedge a portion of the natural gas, NGLs and condensate in our Natural Gas segment.
Forward prices for natural gas moved lower during the first quarter in both 2009 and 2010, producing gains on natural gas hedges used to fix the price of natural gas we sell. Additionally, fractionation spreads increased during the first
quarters of 2009 and 2010 as natural gas forward prices decreased relative to fairly steady crude oil and heavy NGL forward prices during the same period.

Comparatively, the forward prices for natural gas at December 31, 2008 were higher than the prices at March 31, 2009, producing
unrealized non-cash mark-to-market net losses of $10.0 million from the derivative instruments we use to fix the price of the natural gas we purchase for processing. These net losses were partially offset by unrealized non-cash mark-to-market net
gains resulting from modestly higher forward and daily NGL prices at March 31, 2009 as compared with the prices at December 31, 2008, associated with the derivatives we use to hedge the sales prices of a portion of the NGLs we derive from
processing natural gas.

Revenue for our Natural Gas business is derived from the fees or commodities we receive from the gathering,
transportation, processing and treating of natural gas and NGLs for our customers. We are exposed to fluctuations in commodity prices in the near term on approximately 10 to 25 percent of the natural gas, NGLs and condensate we expect to
receive as compensation for our services. As a result of this unhedged commodity price exposure, our margins generally increase when the prices of these commodities are rising and generally decrease when the prices are declining. During the three
month period ended March 31, 2010, NGL and condensate prices decreased at a slower rate when compared to natural gas prices, creating a favorable environment for processing NGL and condensate. Comparatively, during the three month period ended
March 31, 2009, commodity prices for NGL, condensate increased while natural gas prices decreased also creating a favorable pricing environment for the processing of NGLs and condensate.

Our volumes and revenues are the result of wellhead supply contracts and drilling activity in the areas served by our Natural Gas
business, primarily the Bossier Trend, Barnett Shale, Granite Wash, and most recently the Haynesville Shale. During the three month period ended March 31, 2010, natural gas volumes on our systems decreased 21 percent resulting from declines in
production and shut-in natural gas. Due to the erosion of natural gas prices over the past year, producers have reduced drilling activity levels compared to 2009 and the number of approved drilling permits in Texas for the three month period ended
March 31, 2010 has declined 19 percent from the same period in 2009. Existing active drilling rigs in the areas we serve have also declined 25 percent during the three month period ended March 31, 2010 from levels that existed in the
corresponding period in 2009. Although the level of active drilling rigs has declined from the three month period ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2010, we have seen active drilling rigs in the areas we serve increase by 26
percent from levels that existed during the fourth quarter of 2009.

Although demand for natural gas has begun to stabilize,
the declining natural gas prices over the past year have forced producers to reduce their output of natural gas, which has in turn resulted in lower volumes being transported on our systems. Natural gas producers have begun increasing drilling
activity in the areas we serve as commodity prices stabilize. We are positioned to capitalize on any future increases in natural gas production, in large part due to the expansions we have completed in recent years. Another factor that could lead to
more demand for our services is the recent discovery of the Haynesville Shale in western Louisiana and eastern Texas. The Haynesville Shale has the potential of being the largest natural gas discovery in the United States. If proven, the discovery
could create more drilling activity around our East Texas system, increasing the demand for our services. In February 2010, we announced an expansion project on our East Texas system to capitalize on the growth opportunities that exist in the
Haynesville Shale area, referred to as the South Haynesville Shale expansion project. For a discussion of our South Haynesville Shale expansion project, see Future Prospects for Natural Gas below.

A variable element of our Natural Gas segments operating results is derived from processing natural gas under keep-whole
arrangements on our East Texas, North Texas and Anadarko systems. Operating revenue less the cost of natural gas derived from keep-whole processing arrangements for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 was $18.2 million,
representing an increase of $6.3 million, or 53 percent, from the $11.9 million we produced for the same period in 2009. The pricing environment that existed for NGLs and condensate for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 was favorable
when compared to the same period in 2009, increasing the operating income we derive from keep-whole processing arrangements.

##### Table of Contents

Operating and administrative costs of our Natural Gas segment were $5.8 million lower
for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, primarily due to a reduction in workforce related costs associated with our systems. The costs allocated to our Natural Gas business from our general partner
were modified to reflect changes in the factors used to allocate work-force related costs among our businesses. Our general partner charges us the costs associated with employees and related benefits for personnel that are assigned to us or
otherwise provide us with managerial and administrative services.

Future Prospects for Natural Gas

The following discussion provides an update to the status of projects we and Enbridge are developing and should be read in conjunction
with the information included in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

Partnership Projects

South Haynesville Shale Expansion

In February 2010, we announced plans to expand our East Texas system by constructing three lateral pipelines into the East Texas portion
of the Haynesville Shale. In addition, we plan to construct a large diameter lateral pipeline from Shelby County to Carthage, expanding our recently completed Shelby County Loop expansion. The expansion into the Haynesville Shale area is expected to
increase utilization of the capacity of our East Texas system by 900 million cubic feet per day, or MMcf/d. Commitments from natural gas producers in the form of minimum bill contracts, acreage dedications and other contractual structures are
more than sufficient to proceed with the project. Materials, pipeline routing and construction planning for the project are underway. The pipeline portions of the project will be completed in stages beginning in the second quarter of 2010 and
finishing in the second quarter of 2011. Future compression will be layered in, as needed, after the completion of the pipelines.

Anadarko Cryogenic Processing Facility

In April 2010, we announced plans to construct a cryogenic processing plant on our Anadarko natural gas gathering system. The processing
facility will have a planned capacity of 150 MMcf/d and is intended to accommodate the resurgence of horizontal drilling activity that exists in the Granite Wash Formation in the Texas Panhandle, where our Anadarko system is located. The new plant,
when operational, will increase our Anadarko natural gas gathering systems total processing capacity to more than 650 MMcf/d. The new plant is anticipated to be operational by the end of the first quarter of 2011.

Other Matters

2009 Asset Disposition

In November 2009, we sold non-core natural gas pipeline assets located predominantly outside of Texas. We have removed the operating
results related to the divestiture of these assets from our historical operating results and included the results in Income from discontinued operations on our consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31,
2009. The following table presents the operating results of the discontinued operations of our natural gas pipeline assets that we derived from historical financial information:

A majority of the operating income of our Marketing
segment is derived from selling natural gas to customers that we have received from producers on our Natural Gas segment assets. Our Natural Gas segment transportation assets provide our Marketing business with access to multiple downstream natural
gas pipelines, which it can use to transport natural gas to primary markets where it can be sold at more favorable prices.

Three months
ended March 31, 2010 compared with three months ended March 31, 2009

Operating income for the Marketing business
contributed $5.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, which was $1.1 million more than the $4.4 million contributed in the same period of 2009. Included in the operating results of our Marketing segment for the three month
period ended March 31, 2010 were unrealized, non-cash, mark-to-market net losses of $0.4 million associated with derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under authoritative accounting guidance,
as compared with the $6.9 million of unrealized non-cash, mark-to-market net losses for the same period in 2009.

Offsetting the
favorable impact of fewer unrealized non-cash, mark-to-market net losses is a decline in operating income in the current quarter compared with the same quarter last year resulting from a narrower basis in natural gas prices between receipt and
delivery points where natural gas is purchased and sold by our Marketing business.

Operating and administrative costs for our
Marketing segment were $0.9 million higher for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.

Corporate

Three months ended
March 31, 2010 compared with three months ended March 31, 2009

Interest expense was $59.3 million for the three
month period ended March 31, 2010 compared with $51.3 million for the corresponding period in 2009. The increase is primarily the result of a higher weighted average outstanding debt balance during the three month period ended March 31,
2010 as compared with the same period in 2009 partially offset by a lower weighted average interest rate for the 2010 period in relation to the 2009 period. The increased weighted average outstanding debt balance was primarily a result of the
following:



| |  |  | Approximately $300 million of weighted average debt outstanding under the A1 Credit Facility associated with the July 2009 Alberta Clipper Project
joint funding arrangement; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The issuance and sale in March 2010 of $500 million of our 5.20% senior unsecured notes due 2020.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our weighted average interest rate was 6.14% for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, as compared with 7.20% for the same
period in 2009.

##### Table of Contents

Further contributing to the increase in interest expense is the $8.1 million decrease in
interest capitalized to our construction projects for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 as compared with the same period in 2009 due to fewer major construction projects. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009,
our interest cost is comprised of the following:

We are exposed to interest rate risk associated with
changes in interest rates on our variable rate debt. Our variable interest rate borrowing cost is determined at the time of each borrowing or interest rate reset based upon a posted London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, for the period of
borrowing or interest rate reset, plus a defined credit spread. In order to mitigate the negative effect high interest rates have on our cash flows, we purchased interest rate caps, which establish a ceiling averaging approximately 1.12% on the
interest rates we pay on up to $400 million of our variable rate indebtedness through January 2011. The interest rate caps do not qualify for hedge accounting and, as a result, the fair values of these derivative financial instruments are recorded
as assets or liabilities on our consolidated statements of financial position with the changes in fair value recorded as corresponding increases or decreases in Interest expense on our consolidated statements of income. For the three
month period ended March 31, 2010, we recorded $0.5 million of unrealized, non-cash, mark-to-market net losses associated with the changes in fair value of these derivatives that resulted from the increase in interest rates from
December 31, 2009 to March 31, 2010. We did not record any unrealized, non-cash, mark-to-market gains or losses for the three month period ended March 31, 2009.

In August 2009, we applied the provisions of regulatory accounting to our Alberta Clipper Project when the project received its
Presidential Border Crossing Permit from the U.S. Department of State. In conjunction with our application of the provisions of regulatory accounting, we record an allowance for equity during construction, referred to as AEDC, in Other
income on our consolidated statement of income. For the three month period ended March 31, 2010 we recorded $14.3 million of AEDC on our consolidated statement of income related to Alberta Clipper Project.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As computed in the following table, we had in excess of $1.0 billion of liquidity at March 31, 2010 to meet our ongoing operational,
investment and financing needs as noted below.

General

Our primary operating cash requirements consist of normal operating expenses, core maintenance activities, distributions to our partners
and payments associated with our derivative activities. We expect to fund our current and future short-term cash requirements from our operating cash flows. Margin requirements associated with our derivative transactions are generally supported by
letters of credit issued under our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which we refer to as the Credit Facility.

Our current business strategy emphasizes developing and expanding our existing Liquids and Natural Gas segments through targeted
acquisitions and limited organic growth. We expect to fund long-term cash requirements for acquisitions and organic growth projects from several sources including cash flows from

##### Table of Contents

operating activities, our commercial paper program, our Credit Facility, and issuances of additional equity and debt securities. Likewise, we anticipate initially retiring our maturing debt with
similar borrowings on these existing facilities. We expect to obtain permanent financing as needed through the issuance of additional equity and debt securities, which we will use to repay amounts initially drawn to fund these activities, although
there can be no assurance that such financings will be available on favorable terms, if at all.

Capital Resources

Equity and Debt Securities

Execution of our growth strategy and completion of our planned construction projects contemplate our accessing the public and private
equity and credit markets to obtain the capital necessary to fund these projects. We have issued a balanced combination of debt and equity securities to fund our expansion projects. Our internal growth projects and targeted acquisitions may require
additional permanent capital and continue to require us to bear the cost of constructing these new assets before we begin to realize a return on them. If market conditions change and capital markets again become constrained, our ability and
willingness to complete future debt and equity offerings may be limited. The timing of any future debt and equity offerings will depend on various factors, including prevailing market conditions, interest rates, our financial condition and our
credit rating at the time.

In March 2010, we successfully issued and sold $500 million in principal amount of our 5.20% senior
unsecured notes due 2020 for net proceeds of approximately $496.1 million, after payment of underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses. We used the net proceeds to reduce a portion of our outstanding commercial paper and Credit
Facility borrowings that we had previously used to finance a portion of our capital expansion projects. We temporarily invested a portion of the remaining proceeds for use in a future period to fund additional expenditures under our capital
expansion programs.

Available Credit

Two primary sources of liquidity are provided by the commercial paper market and our Credit Facility. We have a $600 million commercial
paper program that is supported by our long-term Credit Facility, which we access primarily to provide temporary financing for our operating activities, capital expenditures and acquisitions when the interest rates available to us for commercial
paper are more favorable than the rates available under our Credit Facility.

Credit Facility

At March 31, 2010, we had no amounts outstanding under our Credit Facility and letters of credit totaling $3.5 million. The
amounts we may borrow under the terms of our Credit Facility are reduced by the principal amount of our commercial paper issuances and the balance of our letters of credit outstanding. At March 31, 2010, we could borrow $889.0 million under the
terms of our Credit Facility, determined as follows:



|                                                |  |               |

|Total credit available under Credit Facility    |  | $             | 1,167.5
|Less: Amounts outstanding under Credit Facility |  |               |       
|Balance of letters of credit outstanding        |  |               | 3.5    
|Principal amount of commercial paper issuances  |  |               | 275.0  
|                                                |  |               |        
|Total amount we could borrow at March 31, 2010  |  | $             | 889.0  
|                                                |  |               |        

Individual borrowings under the terms of our Credit
Facility generally become due and payable at the end of each contract period, which is typically a period of three months or less. We have the option to repay these amounts on a non-cash basis by net settling with the parties to our Credit Facility
by contemporaneously borrowing at the then current rate of interest and repaying the principal amount due. During the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, we net settled borrowings of approximately $915 million and $240 million,
respectively, on a non-cash basis.

Commercial Paper

At March 31, 2010 we had $275.0 million of commercial paper outstanding, at a weighted average interest rate of 0.35%, before the
effect of our interest rate hedging activities. Under our commercial paper program, we had net borrowings of approximately $274.9 million during the three month period ended March 31, 2010, which include gross issuances of $734.9 million and
gross repayments of $460.0 million. At March 31, 2010 we could issue an additional $325.0 million in principal amount under our commercial paper program. The commercial paper we can issue is limited by the credit available under our Credit
Facility.

Joint Funding Arrangement for Alberta Clipper Project

In July 2009, we entered into a joint funding arrangement to finance construction of the United States segment of the Alberta Clipper
Project, with several of our affiliates and affiliates of Enbridge. In March 2010, we refinanced $324.6 million of amounts we had outstanding and payable to our general partner under the A1 Credit Agreement, a credit agreement between our general
partner and us to finance the Alberta Clipper Project, by issuing a promissory note payable to our general partner, at which time we also terminated the A1 Credit Agreement. The promissory note payable, which we refer to as the A1 Term Note, matures
on March 15, 2020, bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.20% and has a maximum loan amount of $400 million. The terms of the A1 Term Note are similar to the terms of our senior notes, except that the A1 Term Note has recourse only to the assets
of the United States portion of the Alberta Clipper Project. Under the terms of the A1 Term Note, we have the ability to increase the principal amount outstanding to finance the debt portion of the investment our general partner is obligated to make
pursuant to the Alberta Clipper Joint Funding Arrangement to finance any additional costs associated with our construction of our portion of the Alberta Clipper Project we incur after the date the original A1 Term Note was issued. The increases we
make to the principal balance of the A1 Term Note will also mature on March 15, 2020. At March 31, 2010, we had approximately $332.9 million outstanding under the A1 Term Note.

Our general partner also made equity contributions totaling $77.3 million to the OLP, during the three month period ended March 31,
2010, to fund its equity portion of the construction costs associated with the Alberta Clipper Project. We allocated $10.7 million of earnings to our general partner for its 66.67 percent of the earnings of the Alberta Clipper Project derived from
the allowance for equity during construction, which is presented in our consolidated statements of income as Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest.

Cash Requirements for Future Growth

Capital Spending

We
expect to make additional expenditures during the next year for the construction of natural gas and crude oil transportation infrastructure primarily for the Alberta Clipper Project. In 2010, we expect to spend approximately $788.5 million on the
Alberta Clipper Project and other expansion projects associated with our liquids and natural gas systems with the expectation of realizing additional cash flows as projects are completed and placed into service. At March 31, 2010 we had
approximately $129.3 million in outstanding purchase commitments attributable to capital projects for the construction of assets that will be recorded as property, plant and equipment during 2010.

Acquisitions

We
continue to assess ways to generate value for our unitholders, including reviewing opportunities that may lead to acquisitions or other strategic transactions, some of which may be material. We evaluate opportunities against operational, strategic
and financial benchmarks before pursuing. We expect to pursue potential acquisitions with a focus on natural gas pipelines, refined products pipelines, terminals and related facilities. We will seek opportunities for accretive acquisitions
throughout the United States, particularly in the United States Gulf Coast area, where asset acquisitions are anticipated in and around our existing natural gas business. We expect to obtain the funds needed to make acquisitions through a
combination of cash flows from operating activities, borrowings under our Credit Facility and the issuance of additional debt and equity securities. All acquisitions are considered in the context of the practical financing constraints presented by
the capital markets.

##### Table of Contents

Forecasted Expenditures

We categorize our capital expenditures as either core maintenance or enhancement expenditures. Core maintenance expenditures are those
expenditures that are necessary to maintain the service capability of our existing assets and includes the replacement of system components and equipment which is worn, obsolete or completing its useful life. We also include a portion of our
expenditures for connecting natural gas wells, or well-connects, to our natural gas gathering systems as core maintenance expenditures. Enhancement expenditures include our capital expansion projects and other projects that improve the service
capability of our existing assets, extend asset useful lives, increase capacities from existing levels, reduce costs or enhance revenues and enable us to respond to governmental regulations and developing industry standards.

We estimate our capital expenditures based upon our strategic operating and growth plans, which are also dependent upon our ability to
produce or otherwise obtain the financing necessary to accomplish our growth objectives. The following table sets forth our estimates of capital expenditures we expect to make for system enhancement and core maintenance for the year ending
December 31, 2010. Although we anticipate making the expenditures in 2010, these estimates may change due to factors beyond our control, including weather-related issues, construction timing, changes in supplier prices or poor economic
conditions. Additionally, our estimates may also change as a result of decisions made at a later date to revise the scope of a project or undertake a particular capital program or an acquisition of assets. We made capital expenditures of $189.1
million, including $8.4 million on core maintenance activities, for the three month period ended March 31, 2010. For the full year ending December 31, 2010, we anticipate our capital expenditures to approximate the following:

We maintain a comprehensive integrity management
program for our pipeline systems, which relies on the latest technologies that include internal pipeline inspection tools. These internal pipeline inspection tools identify internal and external corrosion, dents, cracking, stress corrosion cracking
and combinations of these conditions. We regularly assess the integrity of our pipelines utilizing the latest generations of metal loss, caliper and crack detection internal pipeline inspection tools. We also conduct hydrostatic testing to determine
the integrity of our pipeline systems. Accordingly, we incur substantial expenditures each year for our integrity management programs.

Under our capitalization policy, expenditures that replace major components of property or extend the useful lives of existing assets are
capital in nature while expenditures to inspect and test our pipelines are usually considered operating expenses. The capital components of our programs have increased over time as our pipeline systems age. We anticipate beginning a comprehensive
program in 2010 to upgrade sections of our liquids petroleum pipeline system located in eastern Michigan that were installed in the late 1960s. This program will likely extend over several years and will require additional capital expenditures.

Derivative Activities

We use derivative instruments (i.e., futures, forwards, swaps, options and other financial instruments with similar characteristics) to
mitigate the volatility of our cash flows and manage the risks associated with market fluctuations in commodity prices and interest rates. Based on our risk management policies, all of our derivative instruments are employed in connection with an
underlying asset, liability or anticipated transaction and are not entered into with the objective of speculating on commodity prices or interest rates.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by our operating activities was $208.6 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of
$66.6 million compared with the $275.2 million generated during the same period in 2009. The change in operating cash flow is directly attributable to the operating performance of our Liquids and Natural Gas systems and marketing activities as
discussed above in the section Results of OperationsBy Segment. In addition, cash flows associated with changes in our working capital accounts for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 were lower than the same period of 2009
due to the general timing differences in the collection on and payment of our current and related party accounts.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in our investing activities during the three month period ended March 31, 2010 was $215.3 million, a decrease of
$10.4 million from the $225.7 million used during the same period of 2009. The decrease is primarily attributable to the $10.4 million reduction of amounts spent in 2010 on our construction projects as compared to the same period of
2009. The decrease in the amounts spent on our construction projects is primarily attributable to completion of the second stage of our Southern Access Project and our North Dakota phase VI expansion project.

Financing Activities

Our net cash provided by financing activities during the three month period ended March 31, 2010 was $31.3 million, an increase
of $246.3 million from the $215.0 million used during the same period in 2009. The increase in cash provided by financing activities is primarily due to the following:



| |  |  | $496.1 million of net proceeds related to the March 2010 issuance and sale of $500 million in principal amount of our 5.20% senior unsecured notes due
2020 compared with $175.0 million in principal amount of senior unsecured notes we repaid in the same period of 2009;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Net commercial paper borrowings of $274.9 million in 2010. Similar borrowings were not made in the same period of 2009;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $387.8 million we borrowed from our general partner which we used to repay $324.6 million we borrowed on the A1 Credit Facility and to fund $63.2
million of additional costs incurred for the construction of the Alberta Clipper Project; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $77.3 million of capital contributions from our general partner and its affiliate during 2010 for its ownership interest in the Alberta Clipper
Project.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Offsetting the cash inflows from financing activities are $765.0 million of net repayments under
our Credit Facility over the $53.2 million of borrowings we made in the comparable period of 2009. Included in our net repayments under our Credit Facility for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 were gross borrowings of
$995.0 million and gross repayments of $1,760.0 million, including $915.0 million of non-cash borrowings and repayments.

Also, for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 we had $22.0 million more in distributions to our partners due to a greater
number of units outstanding and higher incentive distribution payments to our general partner.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Distribution to
Partners

On April 28, 2010, the board of directors of Enbridge Energy Management, L.L.C. declared a distribution
payable to our partners on May 14, 2010. The distribution will be paid to unitholders of record as of May 7, 2010, of our available cash of $134.9 million at March 31, 2010, or $1.0025 per limited partner unit. Of this distribution,
$117.8 million will be paid in cash, $16.7 million will be distributed in i-units to our i-unitholder, and $0.4 million will be retained from our general partner in respect of the i-unit distribution to maintain its two percent
general partner interest.

REGULATORY MATTERS

FERC Transportation Tariffs

Effective January 1, 2010, we increased the rates for transportation on our North Dakota system to include a new surcharge related to
the recent completion of our Phase VI Expansion program, which increased capacity on the pipeline from 110,000 Bpd to 161,000 Bpd. This surcharge is applicable for the seven years immediately following the January 1, 2010 in-service date of the
Phase VI Expansion program. The mainline expansion surcharge is applied to all mainline volumes with a destination of Clearbrook, Minnesota and the looping surcharge is applied to all volumes originating at Trenton and Alexander, North Dakota.

Effective April 1, 2010, we filed our annual tariff rate adjustment with the FERC to reflect true-ups for the difference
between estimates and actual cost and throughput data for the prior year and our projected costs and throughput for 2010 related to our expansion projects. The projected costs for 2010 include two additional projects: the Alberta Clipper project,
which was placed into service on April 1, 2010, and the Line 3 conversion project. Filings in early 2010 by shippers requesting the FERC to delay the tariff were dismissed by the FERC in March 2010 in docket number IS10-139-000. This tariff
filing increased the average transportation rate for crude oil movements from the Canadian border to Chicago by approximately $0.52 per barrel, to an average of approximately $1.98 per barrel. We will begin to realize revenues in relation to this
increased surcharge as crude oil is delivered from our pipeline, generally the month following the effective date of the tariff.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The following should be read in conjunction
with the information presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, in addition to information presented in Items 1 and 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There have been no material
changes to that information other than as presented below.

Our net income and cash flows are subject to volatility stemming
from changes in interest rates on our variable rate debt obligations and fluctuations in commodity prices of natural gas, NGLs, condensate and fractionation margins (the relative difference between the price we receive from NGL sales and the
corresponding cost of natural gas purchases). Our interest rate risk exposure does not exist within any of our segments, but exists at the corporate level where our fixed and variable rate debt obligations are issued. Our exposure to commodity price
risk exists within each of our segments. We use derivative financial instruments (i.e., futures, forwards, swaps, options and other financial instruments with similar characteristics) to manage the risks associated with market fluctuations in
commodity prices and interest rates, as well as to reduce volatility to our cash flows. Based on our risk management policies, all of our derivative financial instruments are employed in connection with an underlying asset, liability and forecasted
transaction and are not entered into with the objective of speculating on interest rates or commodity prices.

Interest Rate Derivatives

The table below provides information about our derivative financial instruments that we use to hedge the interest payments on our variable
rate debt obligations that are sensitive to changes in interest rates and to lock in the interest rate on anticipated issuances of debt in the future. For interest rate swaps, the table presents notional amounts, the rates charged on the underlying
notional and weighted average interest rates paid by expected maturity dates. Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged under the contract. Weighted average variable rates are based on implied forward rates in
the yield curve at March 31, 2010.

for the respective periods to consider the time value of money. Fair values are presented in millions of dollars and exclude credit adjustments of approximately $0.3 million of losses at March 31, 2010, with no such gains and losses at
December 31, 2009.

In connection with our March 2010 issuance and sale of $500 million in principal
amount of 5.20% senior notes due March 15, 2020, we paid $13.2 million to settle treasury locks we entered into to hedge the interest payments on a portion of these obligations through the maturity date of the senior notes maturing in 2020. The
$13.2 million is being amortized from AOCI to Interest expense over the 10-year term of the senior notes.

Our credit exposure for over-the-counter derivatives is directly with our counterparty and continues until
the maturity or termination of the contract. When appropriate, valuations are adjusted for various factors such as credit and liquidity considerations.

The table below summarizes our derivative balances by counterparty credit quality (negative amounts represent our net obligations to pay
the counterparty).

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We and Enbridge maintain systems of disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that we are able to
record, process, summarize and report the information required to be disclosed in our annual and quarterly reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) within the time periods specified in the rules
and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
and procedures as of March 31, 2010. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to accomplish their purpose. In conducting this
assessment, our management relied on similar evaluations conducted by employees of Enbridge affiliates who provide certain treasury, accounting and other services on our behalf. We have not made any changes that materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the three month period ended March 31, 2010.
