WHEREAS, the Original Indenture is incorporated herein by this reference and the Original Indenture, as amended and supplemented to the date hereof with applicability to the Notes, including by this Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture, is herein called the “Indenture”;

WHEREAS, under the Indenture, a new series of Securities may at any time be established in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and the terms of such series may be described by a supplemental indenture executed by the parties hereto;

WHEREAS, Spectra Capital hereby proposes to create under the Indenture a new series of Securities, and Spectra Energy hereby proposes to Guarantee such Securities in accordance with the terms of the Indenture;

WHEREAS, additional Securities of other series hereafter established, except as may be limited in the Indenture as at the time supplemented and modified, may be issued from time to time pursuant to the Indenture as at the time supplemented and modified; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements and obligations set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

6.20% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2018

SECTION 1.01 Establishment.

There is hereby established a new series of Securities to be issued under the Indenture, to be entitled the “6.20% Senior Notes due 2018” (the “Notes”). There is to be authenticated and delivered $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes, and no further Notes shall be

authenticated and delivered except as provided by Xxxxxxx 000, 000, 000, 000 xx 0000 or the last paragraph of Section 301 of the Original Indenture; provided that any additional Notes authenticated and delivered as provided in the last paragraph of Section 301 of the Original Indenture shall be fungible with the original Notes for United States federal income tax purposes. The Notes shall be issued in fully registered form without coupons.

The Notes, together with the endorsement of the Guarantee thereon, shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, and the form of the Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication for the Notes shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto.

Each Note shall be dated the date of authentication thereof.

SECTION 1.02 Definitions.

The following defined terms used herein with respect to the Notes, shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the meanings specified below. Capitalized terms used herein for which no definition is provided herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Original Indenture.

“Interest Payment Dates” means each April 15 and October 15, commencing October 15, 2008.

“Original Issue Date” means April 10, 2008.

“Regular Record Date” means, with respect to each Interest Payment Date, the close of business on the April 1 and October 1, as applicable, immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day).

“Stated Maturity” means April 15, 2018.

SECTION 1.03 Payment of Principal and Interest.

The principal of the Notes shall be due at Stated Maturity (unless earlier redeemed). The unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 6.20% per annum until paid or duly provided for, and such interest will accrue from the Original Issue Date or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. Interest shall be paid semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date to the Person or Persons in whose name the Notes are registered on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such Regular Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest that is not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person or Persons in whose name the Notes are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Trustee (“Special Record Date”), notice whereof shall be given to Holders of the Notes not less than ten days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by any such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Original Indenture.

Payments of interest on the Notes shall include interest accrued to but excluding the respective Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments for the Notes shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on the Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the interest payable on such date shall be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or payment in respect of any such delay) with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable. “Business Day” means a day other than (i) a Saturday or a Sunday, (ii) a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to remain closed or (iii) a day on which the Corporate Trust Office is closed for business.

Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on Notes represented by a Global Security shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Holder of such Global Security; provided that, in the case of payments of principal and premium, if any, such Global Security is first surrendered to the Paying Agent. If any of the Notes are no longer represented by a Global Security, payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes shall be made at the office of the Paying Agent maintained for such purpose; provided that (i) in the case of payments of principal and premium, if any, such Notes are first surrendered to the Paying Agent; and (ii) payments of interest may be made, at the option of Spectra Capital, (A) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or (B) by wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated in writing to the Trustee at least 16 days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto.

SECTION 1.04 Denominations.

The Notes shall be issued in denominations of $2,000 or any integral multiples of $1,000 above such amount.

SECTION 1.05 Global Securities.

The Notes shall initially be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities registered in the name of the Depositary (which initially shall be The Depository Trust Company) or its nominee (the “Global Securities”). Except under the limited circumstances described below, Notes represented by such Global Security or Global Securities shall not be exchangeable for, and shall not otherwise be issuable as, Notes in definitive form. The Global Securities described above may not be transferred except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor Depositary or its nominee.

A Global Security shall be exchangeable for Notes registered in the names of persons other than the Depositary or its nominee only if (i) the Depositary notifies Spectra Capital that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a Depositary for such Global Security and no successor Depositary shall have been appointed by Spectra Capital within 90 days of receipt by Spectra Capital of such notification, or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency

registered under the Exchange Act at a time when the Depositary is required to be so registered to act as such Depositary and no successor Depositary shall have been appointed by Spectra Capital within 90 days after it becomes aware of such cessation or (ii) subject to the Depositary’s procedures, Spectra Capital in its sole discretion determines that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Notes registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct.

SECTION 1.06 Guarantee of the Notes.

The Guarantor hereby agrees that the Guarantee set forth in Section 102 of the Twelfth Supplemental Indenture shall apply with respect to the Notes as if the Notes were listed on Schedule A to the Twelfth Supplemental Indenture and constituted “Notes” thereunder. The Guarantor agrees that Sections 103 and 106 of the Twelfth Supplemental Indenture shall be for the benefit of the Notes.

SECTION 1.07 Redemption at the Option of Spectra Capital.

The Notes shall be redeemable, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of Spectra Capital on any date (a “Redemption Date”), at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments thereon, discounted to such Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 40 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to such Redemption Date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes, (i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.l5(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue; provided that if no maturity is within three months before or after the Stated Maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined, and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month; or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding such calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if an Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by Spectra Capital.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Banc of America Securities LLC (and its successors), Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (and its successors), Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. (and its successors) and one other nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a primary U.S. Government securities dealer (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”) specified from time to time by Spectra Capital; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a Primary Treasury Dealer, Spectra Capital shall substitute therefor another nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a Primary Treasury Dealer.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by an Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to an Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer as of 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to each Note to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due after the related Redemption Date but for such redemption; provided, however, that, if such Redemption Date is not an Interest Payment Date with respect to such Note, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment thereon will be reduced (solely for the purpose of the definition of “Remaining Scheduled Payments”) by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such Redemption Date.

Notwithstanding Section 1104 of the Original Indenture, the notice of redemption with respect to the foregoing redemption need not set forth the Redemption Price but only the manner of ascertainment thereof.

In the event that any Redemption Date is not a Business Day, then payment of the Redemption Price shall be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or payment in respect of any such delay) with the same force and effect as if made on such Redemption Date.

Spectra Capital shall notify the Trustee of the Redemption Price with respect to the foregoing redemption promptly after the calculation thereof. The Trustee shall not be responsible for calculating said Redemption Price.

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes or portions of Notes to be redeemed by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.

The Trustee may select for redemption Notes and portions of Notes in amounts of whole multiples of $1,000.

The Notes shall not have a sinking fund.

SECTION 1.08 Defeasance.

In addition to the conditions set forth in Section 1304 of the Original Indenture, the application of Section 1302 or 1303 of the Original Indenture with respect to the Notes shall be subject to the condition that (a) in the event of Covenant Defeasance of the Notes pursuant to Section 1303 of the Original Indenture, Spectra Capital shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from a nationally recognized counsel acceptable to the Trustee or a private letter ruling issued by the United States Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the Holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States Federal income tax purposes as a result of Spectra Capital’s exercise of its option under Section 1303 of the Original Indenture and will be subject to United States Federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such option had not been exercised; and (b) in the event of Defeasance of the Notes pursuant to Section 1302 of the Original Indenture, Spectra Capital shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from a nationally recognized counsel acceptable to the Trustee to the effect referred to in clause (a) with respect to such Defeasance, which opinion is based on (i) a private letter ruling issued by the United States Internal Revenue Service addressed to Spectra Capital, (ii) a published ruling of the United States Internal Revenue Service pertaining to a comparable form of transaction or (iii) a change in the applicable United States Federal income tax law (including regulations) after the date hereof.

SECTION 1.09 Modification of Guarantee.

Clause (1) of Section 902 of the Original Indenture is hereby amended and restated in relation solely to the Notes to read as follows:

“(1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security or any other Security which would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 502 or change the coin or currency in which any Security or any premium or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date), or change the obligations of Spectra Energy under the Guarantee in any manner adverse to the Holders, or”

SECTION 1.10 Amendment to Section 101 of the Original Indenture.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Banc of America Securities LLC (and its successors), Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (and its successors), Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. (and its successors) and one other nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a primary U.S. Government securities dealer (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”) specified from time to time by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company shall substitute therefor another nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a Primary Treasury Dealer.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to each Security of this series to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due after the related Redemption Date but for such redemption; provided, however, that, if such Redemption Date is not an Interest Payment Date with respect to such Security, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment thereon will be reduced (solely for the purpose of the definition of “Remaining Scheduled Payments”) by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such Redemption Date.

Notwithstanding Section 1104 of the Indenture, the notice of redemption with respect to the foregoing redemption need not set forth the Redemption Price but only the manner of ascertainment thereof.

In the event that any Redemption Date is not a Business Day, then payment of the Redemption Price will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or payment in respect of any such delay) with the same force and effect as if made on such Redemption Date.

The Indenture also permits the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture affecting such series. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with

such request and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company for such purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar and duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and of like tenor and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of the Securities of this series and for covenant defeasance at any time of certain covenants in the Indenture upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.
