Under the MSF Trust Indenture, MSF has issued its Variable Rate Limited Obligation Revenue Bonds (Consumers Energy Company Project) Series 2019 (the “MSF Bonds”). This bond was originally issued to MSF and simultaneously and irrevocably assigned by MSF to the MSF Trust Indenture Trustee so as to secure the payment of the MSF Bonds. Payments of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the MSF Bonds shall constitute payments on this bond as further provided herein and in the One Hundred Thirty-Eighth Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which this bond has been issued.

The provisions of this bond are continued below and such continued provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place.

This bond shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose unless and until it shall have been authenticated by the execution by the Trustee (as defined below) or its successor in trust under the Indenture of the certificate hereon.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Consumers Energy Company has caused this bond to be executed in its name by its Chairman of the Board, its President or one of its Vice Presidents by his or her signature or a facsimile thereof, and its corporate seal or a facsimile thereof to be affixed hereto or imprinted hereon and attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries by his or her signature or a facsimile thereof.

This is one of the bonds, of the series designated therein, described in the within-mentioned Indenture.

The interest payable on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions provided in the Indenture, be paid to the person in whose name this bond is registered at the close of business on the relevant record date, at the time and in the manner as interest is paid on the MSF Bonds pursuant to the MSF Trust Indenture. 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 City of Jackson, Michigan designated for that purpose, 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.

Upon payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the MSF Bonds, whether at maturity or prior to maturity by redemption or otherwise, or upon provision for the payment thereof having been made in accordance with Article XI of the MSF Trust Indenture, the principal of, and premium, if any, on this bond and the interest hereon then due shall, to the extent of such payment of principal, premium or interest, be deemed fully paid, and the obligation of the Company hereunder to make such payment shall forthwith cease and be discharged and, in the case of the payment of principal and premium, if any, on this bond, this bond shall be surrendered for cancellation or presented for appropriate notation to the Trustee. Upon cancellation of any MSF Bond purchased by the Company pursuant to Article V of the MSF Trust Indenture, the principal of this bond shall, to the extent of the principal amount of the MSF Bonds so cancelled, be deemed fully paid, and the obligation of the Company under this bond to make payment of such principal shall forthwith cease and be discharged and this bond in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the MSF Bonds so cancelled shall be surrendered for cancellation or presented for appropriate notation to the Trustee. The Trustee may at any time and all times conclusively assume that the obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this bond, so far as such payments at the time have become due, has been fully satisfied and discharged pursuant to the prior sentences in this paragraph unless and until the Trustee shall have received a written notice from the MSF Trust Indenture Trustee signed by one of its officers stating (i) that timely payment of principal of, or premium or interest on, the MSF Bonds has not been made, (ii) that the Company is in arrears as to the payments required to be made by it to the MSF Trust Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Loan Agreement dated as of October 1, 2019 by and between MSF and the Company after giving effect to any available moneys in the Bond Fund provided by the MSF Trust Indenture and (iii) the amount of the arrearage.

This bond is one of the bonds of a series designated as First Mortgage Bonds, 2019-1 Collateral Series (Interest Bearing) (sometimes herein referred to as the “2019-1 Collateral Bonds”) issued under and in accordance with and secured by an indenture dated as of September 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 “Trustee”), together with indentures supplemental thereto, heretofore or hereafter executed, to which indenture and indentures supplemental thereto (hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Indenture”) 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.

This bond is redeemable on the respective dates and in the respective principal amounts which correspond to the redemption dates for, and the principal amounts to be redeemed of, the MSF Bonds, including provision for redemption upon demand of the MSF Trust Indenture Trustee following the occurrence of an Event of Default under the MSF Trust Indenture as described below.

In the event the Company elects or is required to redeem any MSF Bonds prior to maturity in accordance with the provisions of the MSF Trust Indenture, the Company shall on the same date redeem this bond in principal amounts and at prices corresponding to the MSF Bonds so redeemed. In the event of an optional redemption of any MSF Bonds, the Company agrees to give the Trustee notice of any such redemption of this bond on the same date as it gives notice of the optional redemption of the MSF Bonds to the MSF Trust Indenture Trustee.

In the event of an Event of Default under the MSF Trust Indenture, this bond shall be redeemable in whole upon receipt by the Trustee of a written demand (hereinafter called a “Redemption Demand”) from the MSF Trust Indenture Trustee stating that there has occurred under the MSF Trust Indenture an Event of Default, specifying the last date to which interest on the MSF Bonds has been paid (such date being hereinafter referred to as the “Initial Interest Accrual Date”) and demanding redemption of this bond. The Trustee shall, within five days after receiving such Redemption Demand, provide a copy thereof to the Company marked to indicate the date of its receipt by the Trustee. Promptly upon receipt by the Company of such copy of a Redemption Demand, the Company shall fix a date on which it will redeem this bond so demanded to be redeemed (hereinafter called the “Demand Redemption Date”). Notice of the date fixed as the Demand Redemption Date shall be provided by the Company to the Trustee at least ten days prior to such Demand Redemption Date. The date to be fixed by the Company as and for the Demand Redemption Date may be any Business Day (as defined below) up to and including the earlier of (x) the 60th day after receipt by the Trustee of the Redemption Demand or (y) the maturity date of this bond; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received such notice fixing the Demand Redemption Date on or before the 10th day preceding the earlier of such dates, the Demand Redemption Date shall be deemed to be the earlier of such dates. The Trustee shall provide notice of the Demand Redemption Date (such notice being hereinafter called the “Demand Redemption Notice”) to the MSF Trust Indenture Trustee not more than ten nor less than five days prior to the Demand Redemption Date. “Business Day” means 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.

This bond shall be redeemed by the Company on the Demand Redemption Date upon surrender hereof by the MSF Trust Indenture Trustee to the Trustee at a redemption price equal to the principal amount hereof plus accrued and unpaid interest hereon at the rate then in effect with respect to this bond from the Initial Interest Accrual Date to the Demand Redemption Date plus an amount equal to the aggregate premium, if any, due and payable on such Demand Redemption Date on all MSF Bonds; provided, however, that in the event of a receipt by the Trustee of a notice that, pursuant to Section 8.01 of the MSF Trust Indenture, the Redemption Demand has been rescinded and annulled, then such Redemption Demand shall thereby be rescinded and annulled, and thereupon no Demand Redemption Notice shall be given, and if any Demand Redemption Notice has already been given, then such Demand Redemption Notice shall be automatically rescinded and annulled; provided, however, that no such rescission or annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

This bond is not redeemable by the operation of the maintenance and replacement provisions of the Indenture or with the proceeds of released property or in any other manner except as set forth above.

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’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) 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) permit the creation of any lien, not otherwise permitted, prior to or on a parity with the lien of the Indenture, or (c) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the principal amount of bonds the holders of which are required to approve any such supplemental indenture.

The Company reserves the right, without any consent, vote or other action by holders of the 2019-1 Collateral 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) 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) 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.

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.

Any transfer of this bond pursuant to the first paragraph of this bond shall be effected at the Investor Services Department of the Company, as transfer agent. 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 this bond at the Investor Services Department of the Company, as transfer agent. However, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.05 of the Indenture, no charge shall be made upon any registration of transfer or exchange of this bond other than for any tax or taxes or other governmental charge required to be paid by the Company.

SECTION 1. There is hereby created one series of bonds (the “2019-1 Collateral Bonds”) designated as hereinabove provided, which shall also bear the descriptive title “First Mortgage Bond”, and the form thereof shall be substantially as hereinbefore set forth. The 2019-1 Collateral Bonds shall be issued in the aggregate principal amount of $75,000,000, shall mature on October 1, 2049 and shall be issued only as registered bonds without coupons in denominations of $5,000 and any integral multiple thereof. The serial numbers of the 2019-1 Collateral 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 Company shall pay any outstanding principal of the 2019-1 Collateral Bonds to the registered holder thereof on October 1, 2049 and shall pay to the registered holder of the 2019-1 Collateral Bonds interest on the principal of such 2019-1 Collateral Bonds at the rates and in the manner as set forth in the MSF Bonds, until the principal thereof shall have become due and payable, payable in each year on each interest payment date for the MSF Bonds.

Upon payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the MSF Bonds, whether at maturity or prior to maturity by redemption or otherwise, or upon provision for the payment thereof having been made in accordance with Article XI of the MSF Trust Indenture, the principal of, and premium, if any, on the 2019-1 Collateral Bonds and the interest thereon then due shall, to the extent of such payment of principal, premium or interest, be deemed fully paid, and the obligation of the Company thereunder to make such payment shall forthwith cease and be discharged and, in the case of the payment of principal and premium, if any, on such 2019-1 Collateral Bonds, the 2019-1 Collateral Bonds shall be surrendered for cancellation or presented for appropriate notation to the Trustee. Upon cancellation of any MSF Bond purchased by the Company pursuant to Article V of the MSF Trust Indenture, the principal of the 2019-1 Collateral Bonds shall, to the extent of the principal amount of the MSF Bonds so cancelled, be deemed fully paid, and the obligation of the Company under the 2019-1 Collateral Bonds to make payment of such principal shall forthwith cease and be discharged and 2019-1 Collateral Bonds in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the MSF Bonds so cancelled shall be surrendered for cancellation or presented for appropriate notation to the Trustee. The Trustee may at any time and all times conclusively assume that the obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the 2019-1 Collateral Bonds, so far as such payments at the time have become due, has been fully satisfied and discharged pursuant to the prior sentences in this paragraph unless and until the Trustee shall have received a written notice from the MSF Trust Indenture Trustee signed by one of its officers stating (i) that timely payment of principal of, or premium or interest on, the MSF Bonds has not been made, (ii) that the Company is in arrears as to the payments required to be made by it to the MSF Trust Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Loan Agreement after giving effect to any available moneys in the Bond Fund provided by the MSF Trust Indenture and (iii) the amount of the arrearage.

Each 2019-1 Collateral Bond is to be irrevocably assigned to, and registered in the name of, the MSF Trust Indenture Trustee to secure payment of the MSF Bonds, the proceeds of which have been provided for financing the costs of constructing, improving and installing certain solid waste disposal facilities of the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Agreement.

The 2019-1 Collateral Bonds shall not be assignable or transferable except as may be required to effect a transfer to any successor trustee under the MSF Trust Indenture or, subject to compliance with applicable law, as may be involved in the course of the exercise of rights and remedies consequent upon an Event of Default under the MSF Trust Indenture. Any such transfer shall be effected at the Investor Services Department of the Company, as transfer agent. The 2019-1 Collateral 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 Investor Services Department of the Company, as transfer agent. However, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 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.

In the event the Company elects or is required to redeem any MSF Bonds prior to maturity in accordance with the provisions of the MSF Trust Indenture, the Company shall on the same date redeem the 2019-1 Collateral Bonds in principal amounts and at prices corresponding to the MSF Bonds so redeemed. In the event of an optional redemption of any MSF Bonds, the Company agrees to give the Trustee notice of any such redemption of the 2019-1 Collateral Bonds on the same date as it gives notice of the optional redemption of the MSF Bonds to the MSF Trust Indenture Trustee.

In the event of an Event of Default under the MSF Trust Indenture, the 2019-1 Collateral Bonds shall be redeemable in whole upon receipt by the Trustee of a written demand (hereinafter called a “Redemption Demand”) from the MSF Trust Indenture Trustee stating that there has occurred under the MSF Trust Indenture an Event of Default, specifying the last date to which interest on the MSF Bonds has been paid (such date being hereinafter referred to as the “Initial Interest Accrual Date”) and demanding redemption of the 2019-1 Collateral Bonds. The Trustee shall, within five days after receiving such Redemption Demand, provide a copy thereof to the Company marked to indicate the date of its receipt by the Trustee. Promptly upon receipt by the Company of such copy of a Redemption Demand, the Company shall fix a date on which it will redeem the 2019-1 Collateral Bonds so demanded to be redeemed (hereinafter called the “Demand Redemption Date”). Notice of the date fixed as the Demand Redemption Date shall be provided by the Company to the Trustee at least ten days prior to such Demand Redemption Date.

The 2019-1 Collateral Bonds shall be redeemed by the Company on the Demand Redemption Date upon surrender thereof by the MSF Trust Indenture Trustee to the Trustee at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the rate then in effect with respect to such bonds from the Initial Interest Accrual Date to the Demand Redemption Date plus an amount equal to the aggregate premium, if any, due and payable on such Demand Redemption Date on all MSF Bonds; provided, however, that in the event of a receipt by the Trustee of a notice that, pursuant to Section 8.01 of the MSF Trust Indenture, the Redemption Demand has been rescinded and annulled, then such Redemption Demand shall thereby be rescinded and annulled, and thereupon no Demand Redemption Notice shall be given, and if any Demand Redemption Notice has already been given, then such Demand Redemption Notice shall be automatically rescinded and annulled; provided, however, that no such rescission or annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

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) 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) 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) 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 16.02 and 16.03 hereof, the Trustee shall not be liable for any determination made in good faith in connection herewith.

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’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.

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.

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.

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.

SECTION 4. 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.

SECTION 5. Nothing contained in this Supplemental Indenture shall, or shall be construed to, confer upon any person other than a holder of bonds issued under the Indenture, as supplemented and amended as above set forth, the Company, the Trustee and the MSF Trust Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the holder or holders of the MSF Bonds, any right or interest to avail such person of any benefit under any provision of the Indenture, as so supplemented and amended.

SECTION 6. 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.

SECTION 7. 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.

SECTION 8. 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. “Business Day” means, with respect to Section 2 hereof and this Section 8, 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.

SECTION 9. This Supplemental Indenture and the 2019-1 Collateral 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.
