#### Executive Severance Allowance Plan
The DTE Energy Company Executive Severance Allowance Plan (the “Executive Severance Plan”) was adopted to provide specified severance benefits to eligible executive employees whose employment with the Company is involuntarily terminated under specified circumstances.

For purposes of this agreement an executive is eligible to participate in the plan if the executive (a) is involuntarily terminated by the Company for any reason other than (1) death; (2) disability; or (3) for cause; (b) signs a severance agreement; (c) has returned all Company properties and paid the Company all monies owed the company prior to the severance date; and (d) is not receiving or entitled to receive benefits under any other Company severance plan, Change in Control Severance Agreement, Employment Agreement, or other termination agreement with the Company, or who has otherwise agreed not to receive severance-type benefits under an Employment Agreement or other agreement with the Company. All Officers of the Company, with the exception of Mr. Norcia, participate in the Executive Severance Plan. Mr. Norcia has entered into an Employment Agreement, whereby he is eligible for specified benefits including severance pay (see further detail below regarding the important terms of, and potential payments provided under, Mr. Norcia’s agreement).

The Executive Severance Plan provides a benefit amount based on the executive’s period of employment in an eligible executive position. The cash severance benefit is a multiple of the executive’s base salary plus annual bonus, assuming target performance goals for such year would be met. The multiple for the eligible Named Executive Officers is 100%.

In addition, the executive has the choice of (i) payment by the Company of 12 months of COBRA continuation coverage premiums, or (ii) a lump sum payment equal to one month of COBRA continuation coverage premiums for coverage in effect on the severance date, multiplied by 12. The Executive Severance Plan also includes payment by the Company for outplacement services for up to six months after the severance date, with the provider and level of assistance determined by the Company, or a lump sum payment of the cash equivalent value of the external outplacement assistance services.
