As authorized by resolutions adopted by the DTE Energy Benefit Plan Administration Committee on February 23, 2018, the DTE Energy Company Supplemental Retirement Plan (Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2005), is amended as follows, effective January 1, 2018:

ARTICLE 2
Definitions
Section 2.4    Participant. “Participant” means an employee who satisfies the requirements of Article 5 for participating in the Plan
Section 2.5.    Retirement Plan. “Retirement Plan” means the Qualified Plan or the DTE Gas Company Retirement Plan for Employees Covered by Collective Bargaining Agreements, as applicable with respect to an individual Participant.
2.    Article 3 is amended to read as follows:
ARTICLE 3
Purpose
The principal purpose of the Plan is to provide for the payment of certain benefits that would not otherwise be payable under a Retirement Plan. Benefits payable under Section 6.1(a) are intended to be benefits payable under an “excess benefit plan” as described in Section 3(36) of ERISA. All other benefits payable under Article 6 are intended to be payable to a “select group of management or highly compensated employees” of the Company and any other corporation which is a Participating Employer under the Qualified Plan that also elects to participate in this Plan.
It is intended that this Plan be exempt from the provisions of Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Title I of ERISA by only providing benefits under an “excess benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(36) of ERISA or to a “select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of Sections 201, 301 and 401 of ERISA.
