Pursuant to a Receivables Purchase Agreement (the Receivables Agreement) executed in 2013, certain trade and accrued receivables (the Receivables) have been sold by certain of EEP’s subsidiaries to an Enbridge wholly-owned special purpose entity (SPE). The Receivables owned by the SPE are not available to Enbridge except through its 100% ownership in such SPE. The Receivables Agreement provides for purchases to occur on a monthly basis through to December 2016, provided accumulated purchases net of collections do not exceed US$450 million at any one point. The value of trade and accrued receivables outstanding owned by the SPE totalled US$317 million ($439 million) and US$378 million ($439 million) as at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
