No additional Series G Notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred. The Series G Notes shall be issuable only in fully registered form and, as permitted by Section 301 and Section 302 of the Original Indenture, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(a)    Further to Section 305 of the Original Indenture, any Global Series G Note shall be exchangeable for Series G Notes registered in the name of, and a transfer of a Global Series G Note may be registered to, any Person other than the Depositary for such Series G Note or its nominee only if (i) such Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as

(a)    The Series G Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 2.25% per annum on the principal amount thereof from November 5, 2019, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, until the principal of the Series G Notes becomes due and payable, and on any overdue principal and premium and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue installment of interest at the same rate per annum during such overdue period.

The interest installment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date with respect to any Series G Note will, as provided in the Original Indenture, be paid to the person in whose name the Series G Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities, as defined in said Indenture) is registered at the close of business on the relevant record date for such interest installment, which shall be the fifteenth calendar day (whether or not a Business Day) prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date (the “Regular Record Date”). Any such interest installment not punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holders on such Regular Record Date, and may either be paid to the person in whose name the Series G Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date to be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of such defaulted interest, notice whereof shall be given to the registered Holders of the Series G Notes not less than ten days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Series G Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Original Indenture. The principal of, and premium, if any, and the interest on the Series G Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, City

of New York, in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the registered Holder at the close of business on the Regular Record Date at such address as shall appear in the Security Register.

THIS NOTE IS A GLOBAL NOTE WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF A DEPOSITARY. UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR NOTES IN CERTIFICATED FORM, THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (“DTC”), TO A NOMINEE OF DTC OR BY DTC OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR OF DTC OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR. UNLESS THIS NOTE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC TO THE ISSUER OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY NOTE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO., OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT HEREON IS MADE TO CEDE & CO., OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY A PERSON IS WRONGFUL, INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

DTE ENERGY COMPANY, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Michigan (herein referred to as the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of $__________ on November 1, 2022 (“Stated Maturity” with respect to the principal of this Note), unless previously redeemed, and to pay interest at the rate of 2.25% per annum on said principal sum from November 5, 2019, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, until the principal of this Note becomes due and payable, and on any overdue principal and premium and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue installment of interest at the same rate per annum during such overdue period. Interest on this Note will be payable semiannually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing May 1, 2020. The amount of interest payable for any period shall be computed on the basis of twelve 30-day months and a 360-day year.

In the event that any Interest Payment Date, redemption date or other date of Maturity of the Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the amount payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date. A

“Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the state of New York or the state of Michigan are required or authorized by law or executive order to be closed. The interest installment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date with respect to this Note will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the relevant record date for such interest installment, which shall be the fifteenth calendar day (whether or not a Business Day) prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date (the “Regular Record Date”). Any such interest installment not punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holders on such Regular Record Date, and may either be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date to be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of such defaulted interest, notice whereof shall be given to the registered Holders of the Notes not less than ten days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. The principal of, and premium, if any, and the interest on the Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the registered Holder at the close of business on the Regular Record Date at such address as shall appear in the Security Register. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, if this Note is a Global Note and is held in book-entry form through the facilities of the Depositary, payments on this Note will be made to the Depositary or its nominee in accordance with arrangements then in effect between the Trustee and the Depositary.

This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the Company, designated as the “2019 Series G 2.25% Senior Notes due 2022” (the “Notes”), initially limited to an aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000 (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of other Notes, and except as further provided in the Indenture), all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Amended and Restated Indenture, dated as of April 9, 2001, as supplemented through and including the Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 1, 2019 (together, as amended, supplemented or modified, the “Indenture”), duly executed and delivered between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as successor trustee (herein referred to as the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a description of the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the registered Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

This Note is not subject to repayment at the option of the Holder hereof. This Note is not subject to any sinking fund.

This Note will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole at any time or in part from time to time (any such date of optional redemption, an “Optional Redemption Date,” which shall be a “Redemption Date” for purposes of the Indenture) at the redemption prices set forth below.

Unless stated otherwise in this Note, the optional redemption price (which shall be a “Redemption Price” for purposes of the Indenture) will be equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed and the remaining scheduled payments of interest on the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the related Optional Redemption Date) until Stated Maturity, in each case discounted from their respective scheduled payment dates to such Optional Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 10 basis points, as determined by the Quotation Agent (as defined below), plus in either case, accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.

Upon the first to occur of either (i) July 1, 2020, if the Transaction (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture) is not consummated on or prior to such date, or (ii) the date on which the Transaction Agreement (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture) is terminated (each, a “Special Mandatory Redemption Trigger”), the Company shall redeem this Note, in whole, at a Redemption Price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of this Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but not including the date of such redemption.

Within five Business Days after the occurrence of the Special Mandatory Redemption Trigger, the Company shall provide notice of the Special Mandatory Redemption to each Holder of the Notes and to the Trustee, stating, among other matters prescribed in the Indenture, that a Special Mandatory Redemption Trigger has occurred and that all of the Notes of this series shall be redeemed on the Redemption Date set forth in such notice (which shall be no earlier than three Business Days and no later than 30 days from the date such notice is given). This notice provision shall apply in lieu of the notice provision in Section 1102 of the Indenture. Upon the occurrence of the closing of the Transaction, the foregoing provisions regarding the Special Mandatory Redemption will cease to apply.

At any time prior to July 1, 2020, the Notes of this series shall be redeemable, in whole, at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but not including the date of redemption, if, in the Company’s judgment, the Transaction will not be consummated on or prior to July 1, 2020 (“Special Optional Redemption”). If the Company exercises the Special Optional Redemption right provided herein, the Company shall provide notice to each Holder of the Notes and to the Trustee, stating, among other matters prescribed in the Indenture, that it is exercising this Special Optional Redemption right and that all of the Notes will be redeemed on the Redemption Date set forth in such notice (which will be no earlier than three Business Days and no later than 30 days from the date such notice is given). This notice provision shall apply in lieu of the notice provision in Section 1102 of the Indenture. Upon the occurrence of the closing of the Transaction, the foregoing provisions regarding the Special Optional Redemption will cease to apply.

The election of the Company to redeem this Note shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. The Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing compliance with the conditions specified above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on this Note that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to a Redemption Date will be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant Record Date.

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Optional Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated on the third Business Day preceding such Optional Redemption Date, using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Optional Redemption Date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of this Note that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity with the remaining term of this Note.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Optional Redemption Date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Optional Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than three such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations, or (iii) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such quotation.

“Quotation Agent” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means: (i) each of Barclays Capital Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. (or one of their respective affiliates that is a primary U.S. government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”)), or their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (ii) any other Primary Treasury Dealer(s) selected by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Optional Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Quotation Agent by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Optional Redemption Date.

Notice of any optional redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Optional Redemption Date to the Holder hereof at its registered address.

If money sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price with respect to the principal amount of and accrued interest on the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed on the applicable Redemption Date is deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent on or before the related Redemption Date and certain other conditions are satisfied, then on or after such Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the principal amount of this Note called for redemption. If the Notes are only

partially redeemed by the Company, the Trustee shall select which Notes are to be redeemed by lot or in a manner it deems fair and appropriate in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the registered Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal hereof may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Note upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of all Notes issued under the Indenture at the time outstanding and affected thereby; provided, however, that no such amendment shall without the consent of the Holder of each Note so affected, among other things (i) change the stated maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on any Notes, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any premium payable upon the redemption thereof or (ii) reduce the percentage of Notes, the Holders of which are required to consent to any amendment or waiver or for certain other matters as set forth in the Indenture.

THIS NOTE IS A GLOBAL NOTE WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF A DEPOSITARY. UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR NOTES IN CERTIFICATED FORM, THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (“DTC”), TO A NOMINEE OF DTC OR BY DTC OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR OF DTC OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR. UNLESS THIS NOTE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC TO THE ISSUER OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY NOTE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO., OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT HEREON IS MADE TO CEDE & CO., OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY A PERSON IS WRONGFUL, INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

DTE ENERGY COMPANY, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Michigan (herein referred to as the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of $__________ on March 1, 2030 (“Stated Maturity” with respect to the principal of this Note), unless previously redeemed, and to pay interest at the rate of 2.95% per annum on said principal sum from November 5, 2019, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, until the principal of this Note becomes due and payable, and on any overdue principal and premium and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue installment of interest at the same rate per annum during such overdue period. Interest on this Note will be payable semiannually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing March 1, 2020. The amount of interest payable for any period shall be computed on the basis of twelve 30-day months and a 360-day year.

In the event that any Interest Payment Date, redemption date or other date of Maturity of the Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the amount payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date. A “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the state of New York or the state of Michigan are required or authorized by law or executive order to be closed. The interest installment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date with respect to this Note will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the relevant record date for such interest installment, which shall be the fifteenth calendar day (whether or not a Business Day) prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date (the “Regular Record Date”). Any such interest installment not punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holders on such Regular Record Date, and may either be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date to be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of such defaulted interest, notice whereof shall be given to the registered Holders of the Notes not less than ten days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. The principal of, and premium, if any, and the interest on the Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the registered Holder at the close of business on the Regular Record Date at such address as shall appear in the Security Register. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, if this Note is a Global Note and is held in book-entry form through the facilities of the Depositary, payments on this Note will be made to the Depositary or its nominee in accordance with arrangements then in effect between the Trustee and the Depositary.

If the Company exercises the Special Optional Redemption right provided herein, the Company shall provide notice to each Holder of the Notes and to the Trustee, stating, among other matters prescribed in the Indenture, that it is exercising this Special Optional Redemption right and that all of the Notes will be redeemed on the Redemption Date set forth in such notice (which will be no earlier than three Business Days and no later than 30 days from the date such notice is given).

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of this Note that would be utilized (assuming for this purpose that the stated maturity of this Note is the Par Call Date) at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity with the remaining term of this Note.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Optional Redemption Date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Optional Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than three such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations, or (iii) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such quotation.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Optional Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Quotation Agent by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Optional Redemption Date.

If money sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price with respect to the principal amount of and accrued interest on the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed on the applicable Redemption Date is deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent on or before the related Redemption Date and certain other conditions are satisfied, then on or after such Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the principal amount of this Note called for redemption. If the Notes are only partially redeemed by the Company, the Trustee shall select which Notes are to be redeemed by lot or in a manner it deems fair and appropriate in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
