<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">Ladies and Gentlemen:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">Consumers Energy Company, a Michigan corporation (the &#147;<U>Company</U>&#148;), agrees with each of
the purchasers whose names appear at the end of this Agreement (each, a &#147;<U>Purchaser</U>&#148; and,
collectively, the &#147;<U>Purchasers</U>&#148;) as follows:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Section&nbsp;1. Authorization of Bonds. </B>The Company has authorized the issue and sale of $50,000,000
aggregate principal amount of its 2.60% First Mortgage Bonds due 2015 (the &#147;<U>2015 Bonds</U>&#148;),

therefor pursuant to the Indenture) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
Capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined or otherwise cross-referenced in <U>Schedule
B</U>. References to a &#147;Schedule&#148; or an &#147;Exhibit&#148; are, unless otherwise specified, to a Schedule
or an Exhibit attached to this Agreement. References to a &#147;Section&#148; are, unless otherwise
specified, to a Section of this Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Section&nbsp;2. Sale and Purchase of Bonds; Security for the Bonds.</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>Section&nbsp;2.1. Sale and Purchase of Bonds. </B>Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Company will issue and sell to each Purchaser, and each Purchaser will purchase from
the Company, at the Closing provided for in Section&nbsp;3, Bonds in the respective principal amounts
specified opposite such Purchaser&#146;s name in <U>Schedule&nbsp;A</U> at the purchase price of 100% of the
principal amount thereof. The Purchasers&#146; obligations under this Agreement are several and not
joint obligations, and no Purchaser shall have any liability to any Person for the performance or
non-performance of any obligation by any other Purchaser under this Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>Section&nbsp;2.2. Security for the Bonds. </B>The Bonds are to be issued under and secured by that
certain Indenture dated as of September&nbsp;1, 1945 between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon
(ultimate successor to City Bank Farmers Trust Company), as trustee (the &#147;<U>Trustee</U>&#148;), as
supplemented and amended by various supplemental indentures and as to be supplemented by the 113th
Supplemental Indenture, to be dated as of the Closing Date (the &#147;<U>Supplemental Indenture</U>&#148;),
which will be substantially in the form attached to this Agreement as <U>Exhibit&nbsp;2.2</U>,
establishing the terms of the Bonds (as so supplemented, the &#147;<U>Indenture</U>&#148;). The Bonds shall
be substantially in the form set out in <U>Exhibit&nbsp;2.2</U>.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">The Bonds will be dated the Closing Date, will bear interest from and including the Closing
Date and will be in denominations of $100,000 or any integral multiple thereof. Interest on the
Bonds will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The 2015
Bonds will bear interest at a rate of 2.60% per year, the 2017 Bonds will bear interest at a rate
of 3.21% per year, the 2020 Bonds will bear interest at a rate of 3.77% per year, and the 2040
Bonds will bear interest at a rate of 4.97% per year, in each case payable semi-annually in arrears
on April&nbsp;15 and October&nbsp;15 of each year, commencing on April&nbsp;15, 2011, and at the date of maturity.

designated pursuant to the Indenture. Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Bond held by a
Purchaser or its nominee, such Purchaser will, at its election, either endorse thereon the amount
of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender
such Bond to the Company or the Trustee in exchange for a new Bond or Bonds pursuant to the
Indenture. The Company will afford the benefits of this Section&nbsp;9 to any Institutional Investor
that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Bond purchased by a Purchaser under this Agreement
and that has made the same agreement relating to such Bond as the Purchasers have made in this
Section&nbsp;9.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Section&nbsp;10. Expenses, Etc.</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>Section&nbsp;10.1. Transaction Expenses. </B>Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement are consummated, the Company will pay all costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys&#146; fees of a special counsel and, if reasonably required by the Required Holders, local or
other counsel) incurred by the Purchasers and each other Holder in connection with such
transactions and in connection with any amendments, waivers or consents under or in respect of this
Agreement, the Indenture or the Bonds (whether or not such amendment, waiver or consent becomes
effective), including, without limitation: (a)&nbsp;the costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or
defending (or determining whether or how to enforce or defend) any rights under this Agreement, the
Indenture or the Bonds or in responding to any subpoena or other legal process or informal
investigative demand issued in connection with this Agreement, the Indenture or the Bonds, or by
reason of being a Holder; (b)&nbsp;the costs and expenses, including financial advisors&#146; fees, incurred
in connection with the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or any Subsidiary or in connection
with any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the
Indenture and the Bonds; and (c)&nbsp;the cost of obtaining Private Placement Numbers issued by Standard
& Poor&#146;s CUSIP Service Bureau for the Bonds. The Company will pay, and will save each Purchaser
and each other Holder harmless from, all claims in respect of any fees, costs or expenses, if any,
of brokers and finders (other than those, if any, retained by a Purchaser or other Holder in
connection with its purchase of the Bonds). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not
be required to pay any costs or expenses of a Purchaser if such Purchaser shall have failed to
purchase any Bonds that it is obligated to purchase under this Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>Section&nbsp;10.2. Survival. </B>The obligations of the Company under this Section&nbsp;10 will survive the
payment or transfer of any Bond, the enforcement, amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement, the Indenture or the Bonds, and the termination of this Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Section&nbsp;11. Survival of Representations and Warranties; Entire Agreement. </B>All representations and
warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
the Indenture and the Bonds, the purchase or transfer by any Purchaser of any Bond or portion
thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Bond, and may be relied upon by any subsequent
Holder, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of such Purchaser or any
other Holder. All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on
behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement or the Indenture shall be deemed representations
and warranties of the Company, as of the date made, under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding
sentence, this Agreement, the Indenture and the Bonds embody the entire agreement and understanding
between each Purchaser and the Company and supersede all prior agreements and understandings
relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Section&nbsp;12. Amendment and Waiver.</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>Section&nbsp;12.1. Requirements. </B>In addition to and not in limitation of any rights of a Holder to
amend or waive any provision of the Indenture or to consent to an amendment or waiver of the
Indenture in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, this Agreement may be amended, and the
observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively),
with (and only with) the written consent of the Company and the Required Holders, except that (a)
no amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Section&nbsp;1, Section&nbsp;2, Section&nbsp;3, Section&nbsp;4,
Section&nbsp;5, Section&nbsp;6 or Section&nbsp;16, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective
as to any Purchaser unless consented to by such Purchaser in writing, and (b)&nbsp;no such amendment or
waiver may, without the written consent of each Holder affected thereby, (i)&nbsp;change the amount or
time of any prepayment or payment of principal of, or reduce the rate or change the time of payment
or method of computation of interest or premium, if any, on, the Bonds, (ii)&nbsp;change the percentage
of the principal amount of the Bonds the Holders of which are required to consent to any such
amendment or waiver or (iii)&nbsp;amend any of Section&nbsp;12 or Section&nbsp;15.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>Section&nbsp;12.2. Solicitation of Holders.</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(a)&nbsp;<U>Solicitation</U>. The Company will provide each Holder (irrespective of the amount of
Bonds then owned by it) with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a
decision is required, to enable such Holder to make an informed and considered decision with
respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions of this
Agreement, the Indenture or the Bonds. The Company will deliver executed or true and correct
copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section&nbsp;12
to each Holder promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives
the consent or approval of, the requisite percentage of Holders.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(b)&nbsp;<U>Payment</U>. The Company will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any
remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any
security or provide other credit support, to any Holder as consideration for or as an inducement to
the entering into by any Holder of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions of
this Agreement or the Indenture unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is
concurrently granted or other credit support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to
each Holder then outstanding even if (in all cases except for the payment solely of a consent fee)
such Holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>Section&nbsp;12.3. Binding Effect, Etc. </B>Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this
Section&nbsp;12 applies equally to all Holders and is binding upon them and upon each future Holder and
upon the Company without regard to whether any Bond has been marked to indicate such amendment or
waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement,
Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon.
No course of dealing between the Company and any Holder nor any delay in exercising any rights
under this Agreement, the Indenture or any Bond shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any
Holder. As used herein, the term &#147;<U>this Agreement</U>&#148; and references thereto shall mean this
Agreement as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>Section&nbsp;12.4. Bonds Held by Company, Etc. </B>Solely for the purpose of determining whether the
Holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds then outstanding
approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement, or have
directed the taking of any action provided in this Agreement to be taken upon the direction of the
Holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds then outstanding,
Bonds directly or indirectly owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to
be outstanding.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Section&nbsp;13. Notices. </B>All notices and communications provided for under this Agreement shall be in
writing and sent (a)&nbsp;by telefacsimile if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such
notice by a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (b)&nbsp;by registered or certified
mail with return receipt requested (postage prepaid) or (c)&nbsp;by a recognized overnight delivery
service (charges prepaid). Any such notice must be sent:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(i)&nbsp;if to any Purchaser or its nominee, to such Purchaser or nominee at the address specified
for such communications in <U>Schedule&nbsp;A</U>, or at such other address as such Purchaser or
nominee shall have specified to the Company in writing;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(ii)&nbsp;if to any other Holder, to such Holder at such address as such Holder shall have
specified to the Company in writing;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(iii)&nbsp;if to the Company, to the Company at Consumers Energy Company, One Energy Plaza,

York, New York 10286, or at such other address as the Trustee shall have specified to the Holders
in writing.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">Notices under this Section&nbsp;13 will be deemed given only when actually received.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Section&nbsp;14. Reproduction of Documents. </B>This Agreement, the Indenture and all documents relating to
this Agreement and the Indenture, including, without limitation, (a)&nbsp;consents, waivers and
modifications that may be executed after the Execution Date, (b)&nbsp;documents received by any
Purchaser at the Closing (except the Bonds themselves), and (c)&nbsp;financial statements, certificates
and other information previously or furnished to any Purchaser after the Execution Date, may be
reproduced by such Purchaser by any photographic, photostatic, electronic, digital, microfilm,
microcard or other similar process and such Purchaser may destroy any original document so
reproduced. The Company agrees and stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any
such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or
administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such
reproduction was made by such Purchaser in the regular course of business) and any enlargement,
facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence.
This Section&nbsp;14 shall not prohibit the Company or any Holder from contesting any such reproduction
to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate
the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Section&nbsp;15. Confidential Information. </B>For the purposes of this Section&nbsp;15, &#147;<U>Confidential
Information</U>&#148; means information delivered (either orally or in writing) to any Purchaser by or
on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or
otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature, provided that such term does
not include information that (a)&nbsp;was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to
the time of such disclosure, (b)&nbsp;subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by
such Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser&#146;s behalf, (c)&nbsp;otherwise becomes known to such
Purchaser other than through disclosure by the Company or any Subsidiary or (d)&nbsp;constitutes
financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section&nbsp;7.1 that are otherwise publicly
available. Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in
accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential
information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, provided that such Purchaser may deliver
or disclose Confidential Information to (i)&nbsp;its directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents,
attorneys and Affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of
the investment represented by its Bonds), (ii)&nbsp;its financial advisors and other professional
advisors or any other Holder who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information
substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section&nbsp;15, (iii)&nbsp;any Institutional Investor to
which it sells or offers to sell such Bond or any part thereof or any participation therein (if
such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound
by the provisions of this Section&nbsp;15), (iv)&nbsp;any Person from which it offers to purchase any
Security of the Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such
Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section&nbsp;15), (v)&nbsp;any federal or
state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vi)&nbsp;the NAIC or the SVO or, in
each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires
access to information about such Purchaser&#146;s investment portfolio, or (vii)&nbsp;any other Person to
which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w)&nbsp;to effect compliance with any
law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (x)&nbsp;in response to any subpoena or
other legal process, (y)&nbsp;in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party or
(z)&nbsp;if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may
reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement
or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser&#146;s Bonds, the Indenture and
this Agreement. Any Holder (and any employee, representative or other agent of such Holder) may
disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax
structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax
analyses) that are provided to the taxpayer relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. The
authorization in the immediately preceding sentence is not intended to permit, and does not permit,
disclosure of any information not related to the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction,
including, for example, the identities of participants or potential participants and any
Confidential Information regarding the operations or finances of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Bond, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be
entitled to the benefits of this Section&nbsp;15 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On
reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any Holder of information
required to be delivered to such Holder under this Agreement or requested by such Holder (other
than a Holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such Holder will enter into an
agreement with the Company embodying the provisions of this Section&nbsp;15.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Section&nbsp;16. Substitution of Purchaser. </B>Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one
of its Affiliates as the purchaser of the Bonds that it has agreed to purchase pursuant to this
Agreement, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser
and such Affiliate, shall contain such Affiliate&#146;s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and
shall contain a confirmation by such Affiliate of the accuracy with respect to it of the
representations set forth in Section&nbsp;6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such
Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section&nbsp;16) shall be deemed to refer to such
Affiliate in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such Affiliate is so substituted
as a Purchaser under this Agreement and such Affiliate thereafter transfers to such original
Purchaser all of the Bonds then held by such Affiliate, upon receipt by the Company of notice of
such transfer, any reference to such Affiliate as a &#147;Purchaser&#148; in this Agreement (other than in
this Section&nbsp;16) shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Affiliate, but shall refer to such
original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original
Holder under this Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Section&nbsp;17. Miscellaneous.</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>Section&nbsp;17.1. Successors and Assigns. </B>All covenants and other agreements contained in this
Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties to this Agreement bind and inure to the benefit of
their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent Holder)
whether so expressed or not.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>Section&nbsp;17.2. Payments Due on Non-Business Days. </B>Anything in this Agreement, the Indenture or
the Bonds to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment of principal of or premium or interest on
any Bond that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest
payable on such next succeeding Business Day; provided that if the maturity date of any Bond is a
date other than a Business Day, the payment otherwise due on such maturity date shall be made on
the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation
of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>Section&nbsp;17.3. Accounting Terms. </B>All accounting terms used in this Agreement that are not
expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with
GAAP. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, (a)&nbsp;all computations made
pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP and (b)&nbsp;all financial statements
shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>Section&nbsp;17.4. Severability. </B>Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this
Agreement, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full
extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement upon any Holder shall be
exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to in this Agreement or now or after the
Execution Date available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>Section&nbsp;17.5. Construction, Etc. </B>Each covenant contained in this Agreement shall be construed
(absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained in
this Agreement, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary
provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision in this
Agreement refers to action to be taken by any Person, or that such Person is prohibited from
taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by
such Person. For the avoidance of doubt, all Schedules and Exhibits attached to this Agreement
shall be deemed to be a part of this Agreement. The term &#147;property&#148; or &#147;properties&#148; means, unless
otherwise specifically limited, real or personal property of any kind, tangible or intangible,
choate or inchoate.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>Section&nbsp;17.6. Counterparts. </B>This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each
counterpart may consist of a number of copies of this Agreement, each signed by less than all, but
together signed by all, of the parties to this Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>Section&nbsp;17.7. Governing Law. </B>This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance
with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York
excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would require the application of
the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>Section&nbsp;17.8. Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(a)&nbsp;Each of the Company and each Purchaser irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City
of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. To
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Company and each Purchaser irrevocably
waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is
not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or after the
Execution Date have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in
any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has
been brought in an inconvenient forum.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(b)&nbsp;The Company consents to process being served by or on behalf of any Holder in any suit,
action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section&nbsp;17.8(a) by mailing a copy thereof by
registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return
receipt requested, to it at its address specified in Section&nbsp;13 or at such other address of which
such Holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section&nbsp;13. The Company agrees that
such service upon receipt (i)&nbsp;shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it
in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii)&nbsp;shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it.
Notices under this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery
receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(c)&nbsp;Nothing in this Section&nbsp;17.8 shall affect the right of any Holder to serve process in any
manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the Holders may have to bring proceedings against
the Company in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a
judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Capital and Financing Leases: </B>The Company leases various assets, including service vehicles,
railcars, gas pipeline capacity, and buildings. In addition, the Company accounts for a number of
their power purchase agreements as capital and operating leases. Capital leases for the Company&#146;s
vehicle fleet operations have a maximum term of 120&nbsp;months and Terminal Rental Adjustment Clause
end-of-life provisions.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">The Company has capital leases for gas transportation pipelines to the Karn generating complex and
the Zeeland power plant. The capital lease for the gas transportation pipeline into the Karn
generating complex has a term of 15&nbsp;years with a provision to extend the contract from month to
month. The capital lease for the gas transportation pipeline to the Zeeland power plant has a
lease term of 12&nbsp;years with a renewal provision at the end of the contract. The remaining terms of
the Company&#146;s long-term power purchase agreements range between 1 and 21&nbsp;years. Most of these
power purchase agreements contain provisions at the end of the initial contract terms to renew the
agreements annually.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">In April&nbsp;2007, the Company sold the Palisades nuclear power plant to Entergy Corporation and
entered into a 15&nbsp;year power purchase agreement to buy all of the capacity and energy produced by
the Palisades nuclear power plant. The Company has continuing involvement with the Palisades
nuclear power plant through security provided to Entergy Corporation for the Company&#146;s power
purchase agreement obligation, the Company&#146;s U.S. Department of Energy liability, and other forms
of involvement. Because of these ongoing arrangements, the Company accounted for the transaction
as a financing of the Palisades nuclear power plant and not a sale. The Company recorded the
related proceeds as a finance obligation with payments recorded to interest expense and the finance
obligation based on the amortization of the obligation over the life of the Palisades nuclear power
plant power purchase agreement.

plus 50 basis points, over (b)&nbsp;the principal amount of such 2015 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: 8%">&#147;Treasury Rate&#148; means the yield to maturity at the time of computation of on-the-run 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 2015 Bonds; provided, however, that if the average life
(rounded to the first decimal point) to stated maturity of the 2015 Bonds is not equal to the
constant maturity of an on-the-run 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 on-the-run United States Treasury securities for which such yields are given.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">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: 8%">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 2015 Bond is registered at the close of business on the record date, and
no additional interest will be payable to the holders whose 2015 Bonds shall be subject to
redemption.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">If less than all of the 2015 Bonds are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, in such
manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair, the particular 2015 Bonds or portions thereof to be
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 2015 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 2015 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 2015 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
2015 Bonds or the portions thereof so called for redemption shall cease to accrue.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">This bond is not redeemable by the operation of the improvement fund or the maintenance and
replacement provisions of the Indenture or with the proceeds of released property.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">In case of certain defaults as specified in the Indenture, the principal of this bond may be
declared or may become due and payable on the conditions, at the time, in the manner and with the
effect provided in the Indenture. The holders of certain specified percentages of the bonds at the
time outstanding, including in certain cases specified percentages of bonds of particular series,
may in certain cases, to the extent and as provided in the Indenture, waive certain defaults
thereunder and the consequences of such defaults.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of
the holders of not less than seventy-five per centum in principal amount of the bonds (exclusive of
bonds disqualified by reason of the Company&#146;s interest therein) at the time outstanding, including,
if more than one series of bonds shall be at the time outstanding, not less than sixty per centum
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
modification or alteration shall be made without the written approval or consent of the holder
hereof which will (a)&nbsp;extend the maturity of this bond or reduce the rate or extend the time of
payment of interest hereon or reduce the amount of the principal hereof or reduce any premium
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
principal amount of the bonds upon the approval or consent of the holders of which modifications or
alterations may be made as aforesaid.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">The Company reserves the right, without any consent, vote or other action by holders of the
2015 Bonds or any other series created after the Sixty-eighth Supplemental Indenture to amend the
Indenture to reduce the percentage of the principal amount of bonds the holders of which are
required to approve any supplemental indenture (other than any supplemental indenture which is
subject to the proviso contained in the immediately preceding sentence) (a)&nbsp;from not less than
seventy-five per centum (including sixty per centum of each series affected) to not less than a
majority in principal amount of the bonds at the time outstanding or (b)&nbsp;in case fewer than all
series are affected, not less than a majority in principal amount of the bonds of all affected
series, voting together.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest
on this bond, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof or of the Indenture, to
or against any incorporator, stockholder, director or officer, past, present or future, as such, of
the Company, or of any predecessor or successor company, either directly or through the Company, or
such predecessor or successor company, or otherwise, under any constitution or statute or rule of
law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty, or otherwise, all such liability of
incorporators, stockholders, directors and officers, as such, being waived and released by the
holder and owner hereof by the acceptance of this bond and being likewise waived and released by
the terms of the Indenture.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">This bond 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.

provided in the Indenture hereinafter mentioned, be paid to the person in whose name this bond is
registered at the close of business on the record date, which shall be the first calendar day of
the month in which such interest payment date occurs, or, if such April&nbsp;15 or October&nbsp;15 shall be a
legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York, are authorized to close, the next succeeding day which shall not be a legal holiday or a day
on which such institutions are so authorized to close. The principal of and the premium, if any,
and interest on this bond shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">This bond is one of the bonds of a series designated as First Mortgage Bonds, 3.77% Series due
2020 (sometimes herein referred to as the &#147;2020 Bonds&#148; or the &#147;Bonds&#148;) issued under and in
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;),
together with indentures supplemental thereto, heretofore or hereafter executed, to which indenture
and indentures supplemental thereto (hereinafter referred to collectively as the &#147;Indenture&#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
rights of the holders of said bonds and of the Trustee and of the Company in respect of such
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: 8%">Any or all of the 2020 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 2020 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 2020 Bonds plus accrued
interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">&#147;Applicable Premium&#148; means, with respect to a 2020 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 2020
Bond (or portion thereof) being redeemed plus all scheduled interest payments on such 2020 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 2020 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: 8%">&#147;Treasury Rate&#148; means the yield to maturity at the time of computation of on-the-run 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 2020 Bonds; provided, however, that if the average life
(rounded to the first decimal point) to stated maturity of the 2020 Bonds is not equal to the
constant maturity of an on-the-run 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 on-the-run United States Treasury securities for which such yields are given.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">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: 8%">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 2020 Bond is registered at the close of business on the record date, and
no additional interest will be payable to the holders whose 2020 Bonds shall be subject to
redemption.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">If less than all of the 2020 Bonds are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, in such
manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair, the particular 2020 Bonds or portions thereof to be
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 2020 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 2020 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 2020 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
2020 Bonds or the portions thereof so called for redemption shall cease to accrue.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">This bond is not redeemable by the operation of the improvement fund or the maintenance and
replacement provisions of the Indenture or with the proceeds of released property.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">In case of certain defaults as specified in the Indenture, the principal of this bond may be
declared or may become due and payable on the conditions, at the time, in the manner and with the
effect provided in the Indenture. The holders of certain specified percentages of the bonds at the
time outstanding, including in certain cases specified percentages of bonds of particular series,
may in certain cases, to the extent and as provided in the Indenture, waive certain defaults
thereunder and the consequences of such defaults.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of
the holders of not less than seventy-five per centum in principal amount of the bonds (exclusive of
bonds disqualified by reason of the Company&#146;s interest therein) at the time outstanding, including,
if more than one series of bonds shall be at the time outstanding, not less than sixty per centum
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
modification or alteration shall be made without the written approval or consent of the holder
hereof which will (a)&nbsp;extend the maturity of this bond or reduce the rate or extend the time of
payment of interest hereon or reduce the amount of the principal hereof or reduce any premium
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
principal amount of the bonds upon the approval or consent of the holders of which modifications or
alterations may be made as aforesaid.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">The Company reserves the right, without any consent, vote or other action by holders of the
2020 Bonds or any other series created after the Sixty-eighth Supplemental Indenture to amend the
Indenture to reduce the percentage of the principal amount of bonds the holders of which are
required to approve any supplemental indenture (other than any supplemental indenture which is
subject to the proviso contained in the immediately preceding sentence) (a)&nbsp;from not less than
seventy-five per centum (including sixty per centum of each series affected) to not less than a
majority in principal amount of the bonds at the time outstanding or (b)&nbsp;in case fewer than all
series are affected, not less than a majority in principal amount of the bonds of all affected
series, voting together.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest
on this bond, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof or of the Indenture, to
or against any incorporator, stockholder, director or officer, past, present or future, as such, of
the Company, or of any predecessor or successor company, either directly or through the Company, or
such predecessor or successor company, or otherwise, under any constitution or statute or rule of
law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty, or otherwise, all such liability of
incorporators, stockholders, directors and officers, as such, being waived and released by the
holder and owner hereof by the acceptance of this bond and being likewise waived and released by
the terms of the Indenture.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">This bond 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.

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 5. Any or all of the 2015 Bonds, the 2017 Bonds, the 2020 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: 8%">&#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: 8%">&#147;Treasury Rate&#148; means the yield to maturity at the time of computation of on-the-run 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 an on-the-run 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 on-the-run United States Treasury securities for which such yields are given.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">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: 8%">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 2015 Bonds, 2017 Bonds, 2020 Bonds or 2040
Bonds, as the case may be, shall be subject to redemption.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">If less than all of the 2015 Bonds, 2017 Bonds, 2020 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 2015 Bonds, 2017 Bonds, 2020 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 2015 Bonds, 2017 Bonds, 2020 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 6. 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;5 hereof.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">SECTION 7. The Company reserves the right, without any consent, vote or other action by the
holders of the 2015 Bonds, 2017 Bonds, 2020 Bonds and 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 8. 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 9. 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 10. 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 11. 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;11, 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 12. This Supplemental Indenture and the 2015 Bonds, 2017 Bonds, 2020 Bonds and 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.

<P align="center" style="font-size: 11pt"><FONT style="font-size: 12pt"><U>Exhibit&nbsp;4.4(a)</U></FONT>



<P align="center" style="font-size: 12pt">Form of Opinion of Counsel for the Company



<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">1.&nbsp;The Company is a duly organized, validly existing corporation in good standing under the laws of
the State of Michigan.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">2.&nbsp;All legally required corporate proceedings in connection with the authorization, issuance and
validity of the Bonds and the sale of the Bonds by the Company in accordance with the Bond Purchase
Agreement have been taken and an appropriate order has been entered by the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission under the Federal Power Act granting authority for the issuance and sale of
the Bonds and such order is in full force and effect; and no other approval, authorization, consent
or order of any governmental regulatory body is required with respect to the issuance and sale of
the Bonds except such as have been obtained (other than in connection with or in compliance with
the provisions of the securities or blue sky laws of any state, as to which I express no opinion).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">3.&nbsp;The Bond Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and
will be a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in
accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforcement thereof may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws
affecting creditors&#146; rights generally or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether
enforcement is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">4.&nbsp;The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due
authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture by the Trustee, will be a valid and binding
obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except to
the extent that enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors&#146; rights generally or by
general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding at
law or in equity).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">5.&nbsp;The Bonds are in the form contemplated by the Indenture, have been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Company and, assuming the due authentication thereof by the Trustee and upon
payment and delivery in accordance with the Bond Purchase Agreement, will constitute valid and
binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms,
except to the extent that enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors&#146; rights
generally or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a
proceeding at law or in equity); and the Bonds are entitled to the security afforded by the
Indenture equally and ratably with all Securities presently outstanding thereunder, and no stamp
taxes in respect of the original issue thereof are payable.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">6.&nbsp;The issuance and sale of the Bonds in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Bond
Purchase Agreement do not violate the provisions of the Restated Articles of Incorporation or the
Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company and will not result in a breach of any of the terms or
provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan
agreement or other Material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">7.&nbsp;The Company is not an &#147;investment company&#148; or a company &#147;controlled&#148; by an &#147;investment company&#148;
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">8.&nbsp;The Company has good and marketable title to all its important properties described in the
Memorandum and to substantially all other real estate and property specifically described in the
Indenture as subject to the Lien of the Indenture except (a)&nbsp;that released or retired in accordance
with the provisions of the Indenture, (b)&nbsp;leased offices, garages and service buildings, (c)
certain electric substations and gas regulator stations and other facilities erected on sites under
leases, easements, permits or contractual arrangements, (d)&nbsp;certain pollution control facilities,
which are subject to security interests granted to various municipalities and economic development
corporations under installment sales contracts, (e)&nbsp;as to electric and gas transmission and
distribution lines, many of such properties are constructed on rights-of-way by virtue of
franchises or pursuant to easements only, and (f)&nbsp;as to certain gas storage fields, the Company&#146;s
interest in certain of the gas rights and rights of storage and other rights incidental thereto are
in the nature of an easement or leasehold interest only; the Indenture constitutes, as security for
the Bonds, a valid direct first mortgage Lien on the real estate, property and franchises, subject
only to excepted encumbrances as defined in the Indenture and except as otherwise expressly stated
in the Indenture and subject to Michigan Compiled Laws Annotated Section&nbsp;324.20138, which provides
under certain circumstances for the creation of priority Liens on property of the Company in favor
of the State of Michigan covering reimbursement for any expense incurred in a response activity
under the Michigan Environmental Response Act; the Indenture is effective to create the Lien
intended to be created by the Indenture; and real estate, property or franchises in the State of
Michigan described in the Indenture, hereafter acquired by the Company, will become subject to the
Lien of the Indenture, at the time of acquisition, subject to Liens existing thereon at the time of
acquisition, subject to excepted encumbrances, subject to any necessary filing and recording before
the intervention of any Lien not expressly excepted thereby and subject to the qualification above
with respect to the enforceability of the Indenture.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">9.&nbsp;All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have been duly and
validly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">10.&nbsp;To my knowledge, there is no litigation pending or threatened that would reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect (except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents), question the
validity of the Bond Purchase Agreement, the Indenture or the Bonds or impair the ability of the
Company to issue and deliver the Bonds or to comply with the provisions of the Bond Purchase
Agreement or the Indenture.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">11.&nbsp;The issuance of the Bonds and the application of the proceeds thereof will not result in a
violation of Regulation&nbsp;T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">12.&nbsp;Based upon the representations, warranties and agreements of the Purchasers in Section&nbsp;6 of the
Bond Purchase Agreements, it is not necessary in connection with the offer, sale and delivery of
the Bonds to the Purchasers under the Bond Purchase Agreements to register the offering and/or sale
of the Bonds under the Securities Act, or to qualify an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, it
being understood that no opinion is expressed as to any subsequent resale of any Bond.

enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">2.&nbsp;It is not necessary in connection with the offer, sale and delivery of the Bonds to the
