Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 3%">As previously reported, on April&nbsp;19, 2010, Consumers Energy Company (&#147;Consumers), a principal
subsidiary of CMS Energy Corporation (&#147;CMS Energy&#148;), and certain Purchasers in the private
placement market entered into an agreement under which Consumers would sell, and the Purchasers
would purchase, $250&nbsp;million of 5.30% First Mortgage Bonds due 2022 (&#147;2022 Bonds&#148;) and $50&nbsp;million
of 6.17% First Mortgage Bonds due 2040 (&#147;2040 Bonds&#148;).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 3%">On September&nbsp;1, 2010, this transaction closed and was funded. The 2022 Bonds will bear
interest at a rate of 5.30% per year, and the 2040 Bonds will bear interest at a rate of 6.17% per
year, in each case payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year,
commencing on March&nbsp;1, 2011, and at the date of maturity. The Bonds will bear interest on overdue
principal and (to the extent permitted by law) overdue installments of interest at the rate set
forth in the Indenture. The 2022 Bonds will mature on September&nbsp;1, 2022, and the 2040 Bonds will
mature on September&nbsp;1, 2040.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 3%">The Bonds are to be issued under and secured by that certain Indenture dated as of
September&nbsp;1, 1945 between Consumers and The Bank of New York Mellon, (ultimate successor to City
Bank Farmers Trust Company) as trustee, as supplemented and amended by various supplemental
indentures and as to be supplemented by the 112th Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September&nbsp;1,
2010 (the &#147;Supplemental Indenture&#148;), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit&nbsp;4.1 and incorporated
herein by reference. Any or all of the 2022 Bonds and 2040 Bonds may be redeemed by Consumers, at
any time and from time to time prior to maturity, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the
principal amount of such 2022 Bonds or 2040 Bonds being redeemed plus the applicable premium, if
any, thereon at the time of redemption, together with accrued interest, if any, thereon to the
redemption date. In no event will the redemption price be less than 100% of the principal amount of
the 2022 Bonds or 2040 Bonds plus accrued interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 3%">The descriptions set forth above are qualified in their entirety by the Supplemental Indenture
filed herewith as Exhibit&nbsp;4.1 and the Bond Purchase Agreement filed as Exhibit (10)(h) to
Consumers&#146; 2010 First Quarter Form 10-Q.

accordance with and secured by an indenture dated as of September&nbsp;1, 1945, given by the Company (or
its predecessor, Consumers Power Company, a Maine corporation) to City Bank Farmers Trust Company
(The Bank of New York Mellon, successor) (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the &#147;Trustee&#148;),

reference is hereby made for a description of the property mortgaged and pledged, the nature and
extent of the security and the rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee and the

security, and the limitations on such rights. By the terms of the Indenture, the bonds to be
secured thereby are issuable in series which may vary as to date, amount, date of maturity, rate of
interest and in other respects as provided in the Indenture.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">Any or all of the 2022 Bonds may be redeemed by the Company, at any time and from time to time

being redeemed plus the Applicable Premium (as defined below), if any, thereon at the time of
redemption, together with accrued interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date. In no event
will the redemption price be less than 100% of the principal amount of the 2022 Bonds plus accrued

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">&#147;Applicable Premium&#148; means, with respect to a 2022 Bond (or portion thereof) being redeemed at

Bond (or portion thereof) being redeemed plus all scheduled interest payments on such 2022 Bond (or
portion thereof excluding interest accrued to the redemption date) after the redemption date, which
present value shall be computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate (as defined below)
plus 50 basis points, over (b)&nbsp;the principal amount of such 2022 Bond (or portion thereof) being
redeemed at such time. For purposes of this definition, the present values of interest and
principal payments will be determined in accordance with generally accepted principles of financial
analysis.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">&#147;Treasury Rate&#148; means the yield to maturity at the time of computation of United States

H.15(519) (the &#147;Statistical Release&#148;)) which has become publicly available at least two Business
Days prior to the redemption date (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any
publicly available source of similar market data) most nearly equal to the then remaining average
life to stated maturity of the 2022 Bonds; provided, however, that if the average life (rounded to
the first decimal point) to stated maturity of the 2022 Bonds is not equal to the constant maturity
of a United States Treasury security for which a weekly average yield (in the Statistical Release
columns labeled &#147;Week Ending&#148;) is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear
interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of
United States Treasury securities for which such yields are given.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the date fixed for

no additional interest will be payable to the holders whose 2022 Bonds shall be subject to
redemption.

redeemed. Notice of redemption shall be given by mail not less than 30 nor more than 60&nbsp;days prior
to the date fixed for redemption to the holders of the 2022 Bonds to be redeemed; provided,
however, that the failure to duly give such notice by mail, or any defect therein, shall not affect
the validity of any proceedings for the redemption of the 2022 Bonds as to which there shall have
been no such failure or defect. On and after the date fixed for redemption (unless the Company
shall default in the payment of the 2022 Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed at the applicable
redemption price, together with accrued interest, if any, thereon to such date), interest on the
2022 Bonds or the portions thereof so called for redemption shall cease to accrue.

in principal amount of each series affected, to effect, by an indenture supplemental to the
Indenture, modifications or alterations of the Indenture and of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the holders of the bonds and coupons; provided, however, that no such

hereof which will (a)&nbsp;extend the maturity of this bond or reduce the rate or extend the time of

payable on the redemption hereof, (b)&nbsp;permit the creation of any lien, not otherwise permitted,
prior to or on a parity with the lien of the Indenture, or (c)&nbsp;reduce the percentage of the

intended so to be, are to be dealt with and disposed of under, upon and subject to the terms,
conditions, stipulations, covenants, agreements, trusts, uses and purposes expressed in the
Indenture, as supplemented and amended as above set forth, and the parties hereto mutually agree as
follows:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">SECTION 1. There is hereby created one series of bonds (the &#147;2022 Bonds&#148;) designated as
hereinabove provided, which shall also bear the descriptive title &#147;First Mortgage Bond&#148;, and the
form thereof shall be substantially as hereinbefore set forth. The 2022 Bonds shall be issued in
the aggregate principal amount of $250&nbsp;million, shall mature on September&nbsp;1, 2022 and shall be
issued only as registered bonds without coupons in denominations of $100,000 and any multiple
thereof. The serial numbers of the 2022 Bonds shall be such as may be approved by any officer of
the Company, the execution thereof by any such officer either manually or by facsimile signature to
be conclusive evidence of such approval. The 2022 Bonds shall bear interest at the rate per annum,
until the principal thereof shall have become due and payable, specified in the title thereto,
payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 in each year. The principal of and the premium,
if any, and the interest on said bonds shall be payable 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, at the
office or agency of the Company in the City of New York, designated for that purpose. The 2022
Bonds shall be exchangeable for other registered bonds of the same series, in the manner and upon
the conditions prescribed in the Indenture, upon the surrender of such bonds at the office or
agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. However, notwithstanding
the provisions of Section&nbsp;2.05 of the Indenture, no charge shall be made upon any registration of
transfer or exchange of bonds of said series other than for any tax or taxes or other governmental
charge required to be paid by the Company.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 12%">SECTION 2. There is hereby created one series of bonds (the &#147;2040 Bonds&#148;) designated as
hereinabove provided, which shall also bear the descriptive title &#147;First Mortgage Bond&#148;, and the
form thereof shall be substantially as hereinbefore set forth. The 2040 Bonds shall be issued in
the aggregate principal amount of $50&nbsp;million, shall mature on September&nbsp;1, 2040 and shall be
issued only as registered bonds without coupons in denominations of $100,000 and any multiple
thereof. The serial numbers of the 2040 Bonds shall be such as may be approved by any officer of
the Company, the execution thereof by any such officer either manually or by facsimile signature to
be conclusive evidence of such approval. The 2040 Bonds shall bear interest at the rate per annum,
until the principal thereof shall have become due and payable, specified in the title thereto,
payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 in each year. The principal of and the premium,
if any, and the interest on said bonds shall be payable 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, at the
office or agency of the Company in the City of New York, designated for that purpose. The 2040
Bonds shall be exchangeable for other registered bonds of the same series, in the manner and upon
the conditions prescribed in the Indenture, upon the surrender of such bonds at the office or
agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. However, notwithstanding
the provisions of Section&nbsp;2.05 of the Indenture, no charge shall be made upon any registration of
transfer or exchange of bonds of said series other than for any tax or taxes or other governmental
charge required to be paid by the Company.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">SECTION 3. Any or all of the 2022 Bonds and the 2040 Bonds may be redeemed by the Company at
any time and from time to time prior to maturity, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the
principal amount of such Bonds being redeemed plus the Applicable Premium (as defined below), if
any, thereon at the time of redemption, together with accrued interest, if any, thereon to the
redemption date. In no event will the redemption price be less than 100% of the principal amount
of the Bonds plus accrued interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">&#147;Applicable Premium&#148; means, with respect to a Bond (or portion thereof) being redeemed at any
time, the excess of (A)&nbsp;the present value at such time of the principal amount of such Bond (or
portion thereof) being redeemed plus all scheduled interest payments on such Bond (or portion
thereof excluding interest accrued to the redemption date) after the redemption date, which present
value shall be computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 50
basis points, over (b)&nbsp;the principal amount of such Bond (or portion thereof) being redeemed at
such time. For purposes of this definition, the present values of interest and principal payments
will be determined in accordance with generally accepted principles of financial analysis.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">&#147;Treasury Rate&#148; means the yield to maturity at the time of computation of United States
Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption &#147;Treasury constant maturities,
Nominal&#148; (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release
H.15(519) (the &#147;Statistical Release&#148;)) which has become publicly available at least two Business
Days prior to the redemption date (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any
publicly available source of similar market data) most nearly equal to the then remaining average
life to stated maturity of the Bonds; provided, however, that if the average life (rounded to the
first decimal point) to stated maturity of the Bonds is not equal to the constant maturity of a
United States Treasury security for which a weekly average yield (in the Statistical Release
columns labeled &#147;Week Ending&#148;) is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear
interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of
United States Treasury securities for which such yields are given.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the date fixed for
redemption.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">If the original redemption date is on or after a record date and on or before the relevant
interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the person or
entity in whose name the Bond is registered at the close of business on the record date, and no
additional interest will be payable to the holders whose 2022 Bonds or 2040 Bonds, as the case may
be, shall be subject to redemption.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">If less than all of the 2022 Bonds and 2040 Bonds, as the case may be, are to be redeemed, the
Trustee shall select, in such manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair, the particular 2022
Bonds and 2040 Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, as the case may be. Notice of redemption
shall be given by mail not less than 30 nor more than 60&nbsp;days prior to the date fixed for
redemption to the holders of the Bonds to be redeemed; provided, however, that the failure to duly
give such notice by mail, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of any proceedings
for the redemption of the Bonds as to which there shall have been no such failure or defect. On
and after the date fixed for redemption (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the
Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed at the applicable redemption price, together with accrued
interest, if any, thereon to such date), interest on the 2022 Bonds and 2040 Bonds or the portions
thereof, as the case may be, so called for redemption shall cease to accrue.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">SECTION 4. The Bonds are not redeemable by the operation of the maintenance and replacement
provisions of this Indenture or with the proceeds of released property or in any other manner
except as set forth in Section&nbsp;3 hereof.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">SECTION 5. The Company reserves the right, without any consent, vote or other action by the
holders of the 2022 Bonds and the 2040 Bonds or of any subsequent series of bonds issued under the
Indenture, to make such amendments to the Indenture, as supplemented, as shall be necessary in
order to amend Section&nbsp;17.02 to read as follows:


<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; margin-right:4%; font-size: 12pt">SECTION 17.02. With the consent of the holders of not less than a majority
in principal amount of the bonds at the time outstanding or their
attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, or, if fewer than all series are
affected, not less than a majority in principal amount of the bonds at the
time outstanding of each series the rights of the holders of which are
affected, voting together, the Company, when authorized by a resolution, and
the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or
indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to
or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this
Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying the rights and
obligations of the Company and the rights of the holders of any of the bonds
and coupons; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall
(1)&nbsp;extend the maturity of any of the bonds or reduce the rate or extend the
time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce the amount of the principal
thereof, or reduce any premium payable on the redemption thereof, without
the consent of the holder of each bond so affected, or (2)&nbsp;permit the
creation of any lien, not otherwise permitted, prior to or on a parity with
the lien of this Indenture, without the consent of the holders of all the
bonds then outstanding, or (3)&nbsp;reduce the aforesaid percentage of the
principal amount of bonds the holders of which are required to approve any
such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of all the
bonds then outstanding. For the purposes of this Section, bonds shall be
deemed to be affected by a supplemental indenture if such supplemental
indenture adversely affects or diminishes the rights of holders thereof
against the Company or against its property. The Trustee may in its
discretion determine whether or not, in accordance with the foregoing, bonds
of any particular series would be affected by any supplemental indenture and
any such determination shall be conclusive upon the holders of bonds of such
series and all other series. Subject to the provisions of Sections&nbsp;16.02
and 16.03 hereof, the Trustee shall not be liable for any determination made
in good faith in connection herewith.


<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; margin-right:4%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">Upon the written request of the Company, accompanied by a resolution
authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the
filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of bondholders as
aforesaid (the instrument or instruments evidencing such consent to be dated
within one year of such request), the Trustee shall join with the Company in
the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental
indenture affects the Trustee&#146;s own rights, duties or immunities under this
Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion but
shall not be obligated to enter into such supplemental indenture.


<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; margin-right:4%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">It shall not be necessary for the consent of the bondholders under this
Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental
indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
substance thereof.


<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; margin-right:4%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">The Company and the Trustee, if they so elect, and either before or
after such consent has been obtained, may require the holder of any bond
consenting to the execution of any such supplemental indenture to submit his
bond to the Trustee or to ask such bank, banker or trust company as may be
designated by the Trustee for the purpose, for the notation thereon of the
fact that the holder of such bond has consented to the execution of such
supplemental indenture, and in such case such notation, in form satisfactory
to the Trustee, shall be made upon all bonds so submitted, and such bonds
bearing such notation shall forthwith be returned to the persons entitled
thereto.


<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; margin-right:4%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">Prior to the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the
Company shall publish a notice, setting forth in general terms the substance
of such supplemental indenture, at least once in one daily newspaper of
general circulation in each city in which the principal of any of the bonds
shall be payable, or, if all bonds outstanding shall be registered bonds
without coupons or coupon bonds registered as to principal, such notice
shall be sufficiently given if mailed, first class, postage prepaid, and
registered if the Company so elects, to each registered holder of bonds at
the last address of such holder appearing on the registry books, such
publication or mailing, as the case may be, to be made not less than thirty
days prior to such execution. Any failure of the Company to give such
notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or
affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">SECTION 6. As supplemented and amended as above set forth, the Indenture is in all respects
ratified and confirmed, and the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto shall be read,
taken and construed as one and the same instrument.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">SECTION 7. The Trustee assumes no responsibility for or in respect of the validity or
sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or of the Indenture as hereby supplemented or the due
execution hereof by the Company or for or in respect of the recitals and statements contained
herein (other than those contained in the tenth and eleventh recitals hereof), all of which
recitals and statements are made solely by the Company.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">SECTION 8. This Supplemental Indenture may be simultaneously executed in several counterparts
and all such counterparts executed and delivered, each as an original, shall constitute but one and
the same instrument.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">SECTION 9. In the event the date of any notice required or permitted hereunder shall not be a
Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or of any supplemental
indenture thereto) such notice need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next
succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date fixed for such
notice. &#147;Business Day&#148; means, with respect to this Section&nbsp;9, any day, other than a Saturday or
Sunday, on which banks generally are open in New York, New York for the conduct of substantially
all of their commercial lending activities and on which interbank wire transfers can be made on the
Fedwire system.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">SECTION 10. This Supplemental Indenture and the 2022 Bonds and the 2040 Bonds shall be
governed by and deemed to be a contract under, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the
State of Michigan, and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of such
state, except as may otherwise be required by mandatory provisions of law.
