Preliminary Draft— Confidential Executive Summary Introduction Evercore Group L.L.C. (“Evercore”) is pleased to provide the materials herein to the Conflicts Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Conflicts Committee”) of Midcoast Holdings, L.L.C., the general partner of Midcoast Energy Partners, L.P. (“MEP”, “Midcoast” or the “Partnership”) regarding the proposed merger of the Partnership with Enbridge Energy Company, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Enbridge Inc. (“ENB”) (the “Proposed Transaction” or “Project Leather”) As part of the Proposed Transaction, ENB has proposed to acquire each publicly-owned common unit of MEP for $6.25 of cash per share (the “Proposed Consideration”) • The Proposed Consideration represents an 11.3% discount to MEP’s closing unit price of $7.05 as of December 16, 2016 • The Proposed Consideration represents an 8.9% discount to MEP’s30-day volume weighted-average unit price of $6.86 as of December 16, 2016 The Proposed Transaction is subject to the negotiation and approval of the definitive merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) and approval by MEP’s board of directors, EEP’s board of directors, the Conflicts Committee and a majority of MEP’s unitholders • As currently contemplated, MEP management expects the Board of Directors of Midcoast Holdings, L.L.C. to declare a quarterly cash distribution on all of its outstanding common and subordinated units for the quarter ending December 31, 2016 in conjunction with the Proposed Transaction • Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P.’s (“EEP”) subordinated units will be converted into common units one business day after such distribution payment in February 2017, which will result in EEP holding 53% of MEP’s common units and give EEP the ability to approve the Proposed Transaction by written consent 1

Preliminary Draft— Confidential Midcoast Situation Analysis Research Analyst Commentary “Management continues to explore strategic options with respect to MEP and EEP’s interest in MEP/Midcoast. The evaluation process could extend into 2017 as the transaction may be affected by ENB and SE’s potential merger. No other details were provided on the call. We anticipate MEP’s leverage ratio to exceed debt covenants in H1’17, which suggests some kind of action is likely by early next year […] While upside appears capped given MEP’s stretched financial metrics, we believe MEP’s sponsors are likely to take action by early next year to limit MEP’s downside.” – Wells Fargo, Sharon Lui; October 31, 2016 Price Target: $6.50 “Applying management’s commentary to our forecast leads us to materially lower our 2017 estimates for MEP, and consequently downgrade our rating from Neutral to Underperform. […] We have updated hedging positions to reflect lower volumes hedged at 30% lower prices than 2016. This results in hedged cash flow contribution of ~$81mm in 2017 vs. $168mm in 2016. Combined with MEP’s volume commitmentstep-up for Texas Express results in a gathering and processing segment gross margin 22% lower and total adjusted EBITDA 40% lower than our previous forecast for 2017.” – Credit Suisse, John Edwards; November 9, 2016 Price Target: $6.00 “MEP does possess significant commodity risk with ~40% of gross margin exposed to swings in commodity prices and poses a medium term headwind. We view positively EEP’s support to coverage of roughly 1.0x through 2017. However, we expect that MEP will not be in compliance with its leverage covenant of 5.0x in 2017. […] We believe the potential benefit of higher commodity prices are priced in. UBS has a bullish contango commodity price deck and even under these assumptions MEP does not cover its distribution in 2018 absent support of the parents. Hence, it is difficult to see the strategic review which could involve atake-in by EEP or other positive outcomes from the strategic evaluation with EEP where MEP would be valued much higher than where it currently trades at.” – UBS, Shneur Gershuni; November 11, 2016 Price Target: $6.50 6

Preliminary Draft— Confidential Overview of Potential Standalone Alternatives If MEP were to proceed as a standalone entity, certain factors need to be considered: ENB/EEP has attempted to sell MEP • Resulted in limited interest, with no final, binding bids As the standalone projections demonstrate, a distribution cut would need to be made by roughly the first quarter of 2017 • Under a unit price reduction, however, precedents suggest a negative unit price outcome unless the distribution cut is combined with another event (preferred, asset sale or an elimination of IDRs) • For MEP to sufficiently maintain a $1.43 distribution at 1.0x coverage1: —Commodity prices would need to recover 85.1% from projected levels; or —Natural gas prices would need to increase 39.8%; or —NGL prices would need to increase 36.8% MEP could issue additional Class C units, but MOLP’s distribution is not sufficient to provide coverage, and the MEP distribution support agreement ends 12/31/2017 1. Assumes projected Class C units issued in 2017E do not convert or require a cash distribution per the Midcoast Financial Projections 36
