	REASON FOR CREATION OF NEW SERIES.

	 	WHEREAS, the Company intends to
issue a series of Notes under the
Note Indenture herein referred to,
and, pursuant to the Note
Indenture, the Company has agreed
to issue its General and Refunding
Mortgage Bonds under the Indenture
in order further to secure its
obligations with respect to such
Notes; and
	 
	 	 
	BONDS TO BE 2010 SERIES A.

	 	WHEREAS, for such purpose the
Company desires by this
Supplemental Indenture to create a
new series of bonds, to be
designated “General and Refunding
Mortgage Bonds, 2010 Series A,” in
the aggregate principal amount of
Three hundred million dollars
($300,000,000), to be authenticated
and delivered pursuant to Section 4
of Article III of the Indenture;
and
	 
	 	 
	FURTHER ASSURANCE.

	 	WHEREAS, the Original Indenture, by
its terms, includes in the property
subject to the lien thereof all of
the estates and properties, real,
personal and mixed, rights,
privileges and franchises of every
nature and kind and wheresoever
situate, then or thereafter owned
or possessed by or belonging to






10









 






	 	 	 

	 

	 	the
Company or to which it was then or
at any time thereafter might be
entitled in law or in equity
(saving and excepting, however, the
property therein specifically
excepted or released from the lien
thereof), and the Company therein
covenanted that it would, upon
reasonable request, execute and
deliver such further instruments as
may be necessary or proper for the
better assuring and confirming unto
the Trustee all or any part of the
trust estate, whether then or
thereafter owned or acquired by the
Company (saving and excepting,
however, property specifically
excepted or released from the lien
thereof); and
	 
	 	 
	AUTHORIZATION OF SUPPLEMENTAL
INDENTURE.

	 	WHEREAS, the Company in the
exercise of the powers and
authority conferred upon and
reserved to it under and by virtue
of the provisions of the Indenture,
and pursuant to resolutions of its
Board of Directors, has duly
resolved and determined to make,
execute and deliver to the Trustee
a supplemental indenture in the
form hereof for the purposes herein
provided; and
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	WHEREAS, all conditions and
requirements necessary to make this
Supplemental Indenture a valid and
legally binding instrument in
accordance with its terms have been
done, performed and fulfilled, and
the execution and delivery hereof
have been in all respects duly
authorized;
	 
	 	 
	CONSIDERATION FOR SUPPLEMENTAL
INDENTURE.

	 	NOW, THEREFORE, THIS INDENTURE
WITNESSETH: That The Detroit Edison
Company, in consideration of the
premises and of the covenants
contained in the Indenture and of
the sum of One Dollar ($1.00) and
other good and valuable
consideration to it duly paid by
the Trustee at or before the
ensealing and delivery of these
presents, the receipt whereof is
hereby acknowledged, hereby
covenants and agrees to and with
the Trustee and its successors in
the trusts under the Original
Indenture and in said indentures
supplemental thereto as follows:






PART I.




CREATION OF THREE HUNDRED FIFTY-EIGHTH

SERIES OF BONDS,

GENERAL AND REFUNDING MORTGAGE BONDS,

2010 SERIES A



	 	 	 

	TERMS OF BONDS OF
2010 SERIES A.

	 	SECTION 1. The Company hereby
creates the three hundred
fifty-eighth series of bonds to be
issued under and secured by the
Original Indenture as amended to
date and as further amended by this
Supplemental Indenture, to be
designated, and to be distinguished
from the bonds of all other series,
by the title “General and Refunding
Mortgage Bonds, 2010 Series A”
(elsewhere herein referred to as the
“bonds of 2010 Series A”). The
aggregate principal amount of bonds
of 2010 Series A shall be limited to
Three hundred million dollars
($300,000,000), except as provided
in Sections 7 and 13 of Article II
of the Original Indenture with
respect to exchanges and
replacements of bonds.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Subject to the release provisions
set forth below, each bond of 2010
Series A is to be irrevocably
assigned to, and registered in the
name of, The Bank of New York Mellon
Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, or
a successor trustee (said trustee or
any successor trustee being
hereinafter referred to as the “Note
Indenture Trustee”), under the
collateral trust indenture, dated as
of June 30, 1993, as supplemented
(the “Note Indenture”), between the
Note Indenture Trustee and the
Company, to secure payment of the
Company’s 2010 Series A 4.89% Senior
Notes due 2020 (for purposes of this
Part I, the “Notes”).






11









 






	 	 	 

	 

	 	The bonds of 2010 Series A shall be
issued as registered bonds without
coupons in denominations of a
multiple of $1,000. The bonds of
2010 Series A shall be issued in the
aggregate principal amount of
$300,000,000, shall mature on
September 15, 2020 (subject to
earlier redemption or release) and
shall bear interest at the rate of
4.89% per annum, payable
semi-annually in arrears on March 15
and September 15 of each year
(commencing March 15, 2011), until
the principal thereof shall have
become due and payable and
thereafter until the Company’s
obligation with respect to the
payment of said principal shall have
been discharged as provided in the
Indenture. In addition to the
payment of principal and interest as
provided herein, in the event any
Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the
Note Indenture) shall be required to
be paid by the Company on the Notes,
there shall be due and payable on
the bonds of 2010 Series A an
additional amount equal to such
Make-Whole Amount which shall be
paid by the Company in the amounts
and on the dates required for the
payment of any such amounts under
the Note Indenture.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	The bonds of 2010 Series A shall be
payable as to principal, Make-Whole
Amount, if any, and interest as
provided in the Indenture, but only
to the extent and in the manner
herein provided. The bonds of 2010
Series A shall be payable, as to
principal, Make-Whole Amount, if
any, and interest, at the office or
agency of the Company in the Borough
of Manhattan, the City and State of
New York, in any coin or currency of
the United States of America which
at the time of payment is legal
tender for public and private debts.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Except as provided herein, each bond
of 2010 Series A shall be dated the
date of its authentication and
interest shall be payable on the
principal represented thereby from
the next preceding date to which
interest has been paid on bonds of
2010 Series A, unless the bond is
authenticated on a date to which
interest has been paid, in which
case interest shall be payable from
the date of authentication, or
unless the date of authentication is
prior to September 15, 2010, in
which case interest shall be payable
from September 15, 2010.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	The bonds of 2010 Series A in
definitive form shall be, at the
election of the Company, fully
engraved or shall be lithographed or
printed in authorized denominations
as aforesaid and numbered R-1 and
upwards (with such further
designation as may be appropriate
and desirable to indicate by such
designation the form, series and
denomination of bonds of 2010 Series
A). Until bonds of 2010 Series A in
definitive form are ready for
delivery, the Company may execute,
and upon its request in writing the
Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver in lieu thereof, bonds of
2010 Series A in temporary form, as
provided in Section 10 of Article II
of the Indenture. Temporary bonds
of 2010 Series A, if any, may be
printed and may be issued in
authorized denominations in
substantially the form of definitive
bonds of 2010 Series A, but without
a recital of redemption prices and
with such omissions, insertions and
variations as may be appropriate for
temporary bonds, all as may be
determined by the Company.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Interest on any bond of 2010 Series
A that is payable on any interest
payment date and is punctually paid
or duly provided for shall be paid
to the person in whose name that
bond, or any previous bond to the
extent evidencing the same debt as
that evidenced by that bond, is
registered at the close of business on the






12









 






	 	 	 

	 

	 	regular record date for such
interest, which regular record date
shall be the fifteenth calendar day
(whether or not a business day) next
preceding such interest payment
date. If the Company shall default
in the payment of the interest due
on any interest payment date on the
principal represented by any bond of
2010 Series A, such defaulted
interest shall forthwith cease to be
payable to the registered holder of
that bond on the relevant regular
record date by virtue of his having
been such holder, and such defaulted
interest may be paid to the
registered holder of that bond (or
any bond or bonds of 2010 Series A
issued upon transfer or exchange
thereof) on the date of payment of
such defaulted interest or, at the
election of the Company, to the
person in whose name that bond (or
any bond or bonds of 2010 Series A
issued upon transfer or exchange
thereof) is registered on a
subsequent record date established
by notice given by mail by or on
behalf of the Company to the holders
of bonds of 2010 Series A not less
than ten (10) days preceding such
subsequent record date, which
subsequent record date shall be at
least five (5) days prior to the
payment date of such defaulted
interest.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Bonds of 2010 Series A shall not be
assignable or transferable except as
may be set forth under Section 405
of the Note Indenture or in the
supplemental note indenture relating
to the Notes, or, subject to
compliance with applicable law, as
may be involved in the course of the
exercise of rights and remedies
consequent upon an Event of Default
under the Note Indenture. Any such
transfer shall be made upon
surrender thereof for cancellation
at the office or agency of the
Company in the Borough of Manhattan,
the City and State of New York,
together with a written instrument
of transfer (if so required by the
Company or by the Trustee) in form
approved by the Company duly
executed by the holder or by its
duly authorized attorney. Bonds of
2010 Series A shall in the same
manner be exchangeable for a like
aggregate principal amount of bonds
of 2010 Series A upon the terms and
conditions specified herein and in
Section 7 of Article II of the
Indenture. The Company waives its
rights under Section 7 of Article II
of the Indenture not to make
exchanges or transfers of bonds of
2010 Series A during any period of
ten (10) days next preceding any
redemption date for such bonds.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Bonds of 2010 Series A, in
definitive and temporary form, may
bear such legends as may be
necessary to comply with any law or
with any rules or regulations made
pursuant thereto or as may be
specified in the Note Indenture.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Upon payment of the principal or
Make-Whole Amount, if any, or
interest on the Notes, whether at
maturity or prior to maturity by
redemption or otherwise, or upon
provision for the payment thereof
having been made in accordance with
Article V of the Note Indenture,
bonds of 2010 Series A in a
principal amount equal to the
principal amount of such Notes,
shall, to the extent of such payment
of principal, Make-Whole Amount or
interest, be deemed fully paid and
the obligation of the Company
thereunder to make such payment
shall forthwith cease and be
discharged, and, in the case of the
payment of principal and Make-Whole
Amount, if any, such bonds shall be
surrendered for cancellation or
presented for appropriate notation
to the Trustee.
	 
	 	 
	RELEASE.

	 	SECTION 2. From and after the
Release Date (as defined in the Note
Indenture) and provided that
Substitute Mortgage Bonds have been
delivered in accordance with the
Note Indenture, the bonds of 2010
Series A shall be deemed fully paid,
satisfied and discharged and the
obligation of the Company






13









 






	 	 	 

	 

	 	thereunder
shall be terminated. On the Release
Date, subject to compliance with the
provisions of the Note Indenture
relating to the delivery of
Substitute Mortgage Bonds, the bonds
of 2010 Series A shall be
surrendered to and canceled by the
Trustee. The Company covenants and
agrees that, prior to the Release
Date, it will not take any action
that would cause the outstanding
principal amount of the bonds of
2010 Series A to be less than the
then-outstanding principal amount of
the Notes.
	 
	 	 
	REDEMPTION OF BONDS OF 2010 SERIES A.

	 	SECTION 3. Bonds of 2010 Series A
shall be redeemed on the respective
dates and in the respective
principal amounts which correspond
to the redemption dates for, and the
principal amounts to be redeemed of,
the Notes.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	In the event the Company elects to
redeem any Notes prior to maturity
in accordance with the provisions of
the Note Indenture, the Company
shall give the Trustee notice of
redemption of bonds of 2010 Series A
on the same date as it gives notice
of redemption of Notes to the Note
Indenture Trustee.
	 
	 	 
	REDEMPTION OF BONDS OF 2010 SERIES A
IN EVENT OF ACCELERATION OF NOTES.

	 	SECTION 4. In the event of an Event
of Default under the Note Indenture
and the acceleration of all Notes,
the bonds of 2010 Series A shall be
redeemable in whole upon receipt by
the Trustee of a written demand
(hereinafter called a “Redemption
Demand”) from the Note Indenture
Trustee stating that there has
occurred under the Note Indenture
both an Event of Default and a
declaration of acceleration of
payment of principal, accrued
interest and Make-Whole Amount, if
any, on the Notes, specifying the
last date to which interest on the
Notes has been paid (such date being
hereinafter referred to as the
“Initial Interest Accrual Date”) and
demanding redemption of the bonds of
said series. The Trustee shall,
within five (5) days after receiving
such Redemption Demand, mail a copy
thereof to the Company marked to
indicate the date of its receipt by
the Trustee. Promptly upon receipt
by the Company of such copy of a
Redemption Demand, the Company shall
fix a date on which it will redeem
the bonds of said series so demanded
to be redeemed (hereinafter called
the “Demand Redemption Date”).
Notice of the date fixed as the
Demand Redemption Date shall be
mailed by the Company to the Trustee
at least ten (10) days prior to such
Demand Redemption Date. The date to
be fixed by the Company as and for
the Demand Redemption Date may be
any date up to and including the
earlier of (x) the 60th day after
receipt by the Trustee of the
Redemption Demand or (y) the
maturity date of such bonds first
occurring following the 20th day
after the receipt by the Trustee of
the Redemption Demand; provided,
however, that if the Trustee shall
not have received such notice fixing
the Demand Redemption Date on or
before the 10th day preceding the
earlier of such dates, the Demand
Redemption Date shall be deemed to
be the earlier of such dates. The
Trustee shall mail notice of the
Demand Redemption Date (such notice
being hereinafter called the “Demand
Redemption Notice”) to the Note
Indenture Trustee not more than ten
(10) nor less than five (5) days
prior to the Demand Redemption Date.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Each bond of 2010 Series A shall be
redeemed by the Company on the
Demand Redemption Date therefor upon
surrender thereof by the Note
Indenture Trustee to the Trustee at
a redemption price equal to the
principal amount thereof plus
accrued interest thereon at the rate
specified for such bond from the
Initial Interest Accrual Date to the
Demand Redemption Date plus an
amount equal to the aggregate
Make-Whole Amount, if any, due and
payable on such Demand Redemption
Date on all Notes; provided,
however, that in the event of a
receipt by the Trustee of a notice
that, pursuant to Section 602 of the






14









 






	 	 	 

	 

	 	Note Indenture, the Note Indenture
Trustee has terminated proceedings
to enforce any right under the Note
Indenture, then any Redemption
Demand shall thereby be rescinded by
the Note Indenture Trustee, and no
Demand Redemption Notice shall be
given, or, if already given, shall
be automatically annulled; but no
such rescission or annulment shall
extend to or affect any subsequent
default or impair any right
consequent thereon.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Anything herein contained to the
contrary notwithstanding, the
Trustee is not authorized to take
any action pursuant to a Redemption
Demand and such Redemption Demand
shall be of no force or effect,
unless it is executed in the name of
the Note Indenture Trustee by its
President or one of its Vice
Presidents.

	 	THE DETROIT EDISON COMPANY (hereinafter called the “Company”), a corporation of the
State of Michigan, for value received, hereby promises to pay to The Bank of New
York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Note Indenture Trustee, or registered assigns,
at the Company’s office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of
New York, the principal sum of _________________________ Dollars ($__________) in
lawful money of the United States of America on September 15, 2020 (subject to
earlier redemption or release) and interest thereon at the rate of 4.89% per annum,
in like lawful money, from September 15, 2010, and after the first payment of
interest on bonds of this Series has been made or otherwise provided for, from the
most recent date to which interest has been paid or otherwise provided for,
semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year (commencing March 15, 2011),
until the Company’s obligation with respect to payment of said principal shall have
been discharged, all as provided, to the extent and in the manner specified in the
Indenture hereinafter mentioned and in the supplemental indenture pursuant to which
this bond has been issued. In addition to the payment of principal and interest on
bonds of this Series, in the event any Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the Note
Indenture hereinafter referred to) shall be required to be paid by the Company on
the Notes, there shall be due and payable on the bonds of this Series an additional
amount equal to such Make-Whole Amount which shall be paid by the Company in the
amounts and on the dates required for the payment of any such amounts under the Note
Indenture.

	 	Under a Collateral Trust Indenture, dated as of June 30, 1993, as amended and as
further supplemented as of September 1, 2010 (hereinafter called the “Note
Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company,
N.A., as successor trustee (hereinafter called the “Note Indenture Trustee”), the
Company has issued its 2010 Series A 4.89% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”).
This bond was originally issued to the Note Indenture Trustee so as to secure the
payment of the Notes. Payments of principal of, or Make-Whole Amount (as defined in
the Note Indenture), if any, or interest on, the Notes shall constitute like
payments on this bond as further provided herein and in the supplemental indenture
pursuant to which this bond has been issued.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	This bond is one of an authorized issue of bonds of the Company, unlimited as to
amount except as provided in the Indenture hereinafter mentioned or any indentures
supplemental thereto, and is one of a series of General and Refunding Mortgage Bonds
known as 2010 Series A, limited to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000,
except as otherwise provided in the Indenture hereinafter mentioned. This bond and
all other bonds of said series are issued and to be issued under, and are all
equally and ratably secured (except insofar as any sinking, amortization,
improvement or analogous fund, established in accordance with the provisions of the
Indenture hereinafter mentioned, may afford additional security for the bonds of any
particular series and except as provided in Section 3 of Article VI of said
Indenture) by an Indenture, dated as of October 1, 1924, duly executed by the
Company to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as successor Trustee, to
which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (including the Supplemental
Indenture dated as of September 1, 2010) reference is hereby made for a description
of the properties and franchises mortgaged and conveyed, the nature and extent of
the security, the terms and conditions upon which the bonds are issued and under
which additional bonds may be issued, and the rights of the holders of the bonds and
of the Trustee in respect of such security (which Indenture and all indentures
supplemental thereto, including the Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 1,
2010, are hereinafter collectively called the “Indenture”). As provided in the
Indenture, said bonds may be for various principal sums and are issuable in series,
which may mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates and may
otherwise vary as in said Indenture provided. With the consent of the Company and
to the extent permitted by and as provided in the Indenture, the rights and
obligations of the Company and of the holders of the bonds and the terms and
provisions of the Indenture, or of any indenture supplemental thereto, may be
modified or altered in certain respects by affirmative vote of at least eighty-five
percent (85%) in amount of the bonds then outstanding, and, if the rights of one or
more, but less than all, series of bonds then outstanding are to be affected by the
action proposed to be taken, then also by affirmative vote of at least eighty-five
percent (85%) in amount of the series of bonds so to be affected (excluding in every
instance bonds disqualified from voting by reason of the Company’s interest therein
as specified in the Indenture); provided, however, that, without the consent of the
holder hereof, no such modification or alteration shall, among other things, affect
the terms of payment of the principal of or the interest on this bond, which in
those respects is unconditional.

	 	This bond is redeemable prior to the Release Date upon the terms and conditions set
forth in the Indenture, including provision for redemption upon demand of the Note
Indenture Trustee following the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Note
Indenture and the acceleration of the principal of the Notes.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Under the Indenture, funds may be deposited with the Trustee (which shall have
become available for payment), in advance of the redemption date of any of the bonds
of 2010 Series A (or portions thereof), in trust for the redemption of such bonds
(or portions thereof) and the interest due or to become due thereon, and thereupon
all obligations of the Company in respect of such bonds (or portions thereof) so to
be redeemed and such interest shall cease and be discharged, and the holders thereof
shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such funds for any and all claims of
whatsoever nature on their part under the Indenture or with respect to such bonds
(or portions thereof) and interest.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	In case an event of default, as defined in the Indenture, shall occur, the principal
of all the bonds issued thereunder may become or be declared due and payable, in the
manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	Upon payment of the principal of, or Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest on, the
Notes, whether at maturity or prior to maturity by redemption or otherwise or upon
provision for the payment thereof having been made in accordance with Article V of
the Note Indenture, bonds of 2010 Series A in a principal amount equal to the
principal amount of such Notes, and having both a corresponding maturity date and
interest rate shall, to the extent of such payment of principal, Make-Whole Amount
or interest, be deemed fully paid and the obligation of the Company thereunder to
make such payment shall forthwith cease and be discharged, and, in the case of the
payment of principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, such bonds of said series shall
be surrendered for cancellation or presented for appropriate notation to the
Trustee.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	This bond is not assignable or transferable except as set forth under Section 405 of
the Note Indenture or in the supplemental indenture relating to the Notes, or,
subject to compliance with applicable law, as may be involved in the course of the
exercise of rights and remedies consequent upon an Event of Default under the Note
Indenture. Any such transfer shall be made by the registered holder hereof, in
person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, on the books of the Company
kept at its office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New
York, upon surrender and cancellation of this bond, and thereupon, a new registered
bond of the same series of authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal
amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor, and this bond with
others in like form may in like manner be exchanged for one or more new bonds of the
same series of other authorized denominations, but of the same aggregate principal
amount, all as provided and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the
Indenture, and upon payment, in any event, of the charges prescribed in the
Indenture.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	From and after the Release Date (as defined in the Note Indenture) and subject to
compliance with the provisions of the Note Indenture relating to the delivery of
Substitute Mortgage Bonds, the bonds of 2010 Series A shall be deemed fully paid,
satisfied and discharged and the obligation of the Company
	 
	 	 





17









 





	 	 	 

	 

	 	thereunder shall be
terminated. On the Release Date, subject to compliance with the provisions of the
Note Indenture relating to the delivery of Substitute Mortgage Bonds, the bonds of
2010 Series A shall be surrendered to and cancelled by the Trustee. The Company
covenants and agrees that, prior to the Release Date, it will not take any action
that would cause the outstanding principal amount of the bonds of 2010 Series A to
be less than the then-outstanding principal amount of the Notes.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this
bond, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof or of the
Indenture, or of any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, or
against any past, present or future stockholder, director or officer, as such, of
the Company, or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either directly or
through the Company or any such predecessor or successor corporation, whether for
amounts unpaid on stock subscriptions or by virtue of any constitution, statute or
rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise
howsoever; all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the
consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released by every holder or
owner hereof, as more fully provided in the Indenture.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	This bond shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until The Bank of
New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, or its
successor thereunder, shall have signed the form of certificate endorsed hereon.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	IN WITNESS WHEREOF, THE DETROIT EDISON COMPANY has caused this instrument to be
executed by an authorized officer, with his or her manual or facsimile signatures,
and its corporate seal, or a facsimile thereof, to be impressed or imprinted hereon
and the same to be attested by its Corporate Secretary or Assistant Corporate
Secretary by manual or facsimile signature.
