		PART I. CREATION OF THREE HUNDRED EIGHTIETH SERIES OF BONDS, GENERAL AND REFUNDING MORTGAGE BONDS, 2020 SERIES A
TERMS OF BONDS OF 2020 SERIES A.		SECTION 1. The Company hereby creates the three hundred eightieth series of bonds to be issued under and secured by the Original Indenture as amended to date and as further amended by this Supplemental Indenture, to be designated, and to be distinguished from the bonds of all other series, by the title “General and Refunding Mortgage Bonds, 2020 Series A” (elsewhere herein referred to as the “bonds of 2020 Series A”).

11

The bonds of 2020 Series A shall be issued as registered bonds without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any larger amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this bond, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof or of the Indenture, or of any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, or against any past, present or future stockholder, director or officer, as such, of the Company, or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any such predecessor or successor corporation, whether for amounts unpaid on stock subscriptions or by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise howsoever; all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released by every holder or owner hereof, as more fully provided in the Indenture.

	The bonds of 2020 Series B in definitive form shall be, at the election of the Company, fully engraved or shall be lithographed or printed in authorized denominations as aforesaid and numbered R-1 and upwards (with such further designation as may be appropriate and desirable to indicate by such designation the form, series and denomination of bonds of 2020 Series B). Until bonds of 2020 Series B in definitive form are ready for delivery, the Company may execute, and upon its request in writing the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in lieu thereof, bonds of 2020 Series B in temporary form, as provided in Section 10 of Article II of the Indenture.

If the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on any interest payment date on the principal represented by any bond of 2020 Series B, such defaulted interest shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holder of that bond on the relevant regular record date by virtue of his having been such holder, and such defaulted interest may be paid to the registered holder of that bond (or any bond or bonds of 2020 Series B issued upon transfer or exchange thereof) on the date of payment of such defaulted interest or, at the election of the Company, to the person in whose name that bond (or any bond or bonds of 2020 Series B issued upon transfer or exchange thereof) is registered on a subsequent record date established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Company to the holders of bonds of 2020 Series B not less than ten (10) days preceding such subsequent record date, which subsequent record date shall be at least five (5) days prior to the payment date of such defaulted interest. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
	Bonds of 2020 Series B, in definitive and temporary form, may bear such legends as may be necessary to comply with any law or with any rules or regulations made pursuant thereto.
	If any interest payment date, date of redemption or the stated maturity for the bonds of 2020 Series B would otherwise be a day that is not a business day, payment of principal and/or interest or premium, if any, with respect to the bonds of 2020 Series B will be paid on the next succeeding business day with the same force and effect as if made on such date and no interest on such payment will accrue from and after such date
	“Business day” means any day other than a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York or the State of Michigan are authorized or obligated pursuant to law or executive order to close

23

This bond is one of an authorized issue of bonds of the Company, unlimited as to amount except as provided in the Indenture hereinafter mentioned or any indentures supplemental thereto, and is one of a series of General and Refunding Mortgage Bonds known as 2020 Series B, limited to an aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000, except as otherwise provided in the Indenture hereinafter mentioned. This bond and all other bonds of said series are issued and to be issued under, and are all equally and ratably secured (except insofar as any sinking, amortization, improvement or analogous fund, established in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture hereinafter mentioned, may afford additional security for the bonds of any particular series and except as provided in Section 3 of Article VI of said Indenture) by an Indenture, dated as of October 1, 1924, duly executed by the Company to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as successor Trustee, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (including the Supplemental Indenture dated as of February 1, 2020) reference is hereby made for a description of the properties and franchises mortgaged and conveyed, the nature and extent of the security, the terms and conditions upon which the bonds are issued and under which additional bonds may be issued, and the rights of the holders of the bonds and of the Trustee in respect of such security (which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto, including the Supplemental Indenture dated as of February 1, 2020, are hereinafter collectively called the “Indenture”). As provided in the Indenture, said bonds may be for various principal sums and are issuable in series, which may mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary as in said Indenture provided. With the consent of the Company and to the extent permitted by and as provided in the Indenture, the rights and obligations of the Company and of the holders of the bonds and the terms and provisions of the Indenture, or of any indenture supplemental thereto, may be modified or altered in certain respects by affirmative vote of at least eighty-five percent (85%) in amount of the bonds then outstanding, and, if the rights of one or more, but less than all, series of bonds then outstanding are to be affected by the action proposed to be taken, then also by affirmative vote of at least eighty-five percent (85%) in amount of the series of bonds so to be affected (excluding in every instance bonds disqualified from voting by reason of the Company’s interest therein as specified in the Indenture); provided, however, that, without the consent of the holder hereof, no such modification or alteration shall, among other things, affect the terms of payment of the principal of or the interest on this bond, which in those respects is unconditional.

This bond is not subject to repayment at the option of the holder hereof. Except as provided below, this bond is not redeemable by the Company prior to maturity and is not subject to any sinking fund.

This bond will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole at any time or in part from time to time at the redemption prices set forth below. At any time prior to the Series B Par Call Date (as defined below), the optional redemption price will be equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of this bond to be redeemed on the redemption date and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest of this bond to be redeemed that would be due if this bond matured on the Series B Par Call Date (not including any portion of any payments of interest accrued to the redemption date), in each case discounted from their respective scheduled payment dates to such 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 15 basis points, as determined by the Quotation Agent (as defined below), plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. At any time on or after the Series B Par Call Date (as defined below), the optional redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of this bond to be redeemed on the redemption date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on this bond 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 redemption date assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such 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 bond (assuming, for this purpose, that this bond matures on the Series B Par Call Date) 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 such comparable maturity.

24

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any optional redemption date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such 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.

Xxxxxx Securities LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., TD Securities (USA) LLC and a primary U.S. government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”) selected by MUFG Securities Americas Inc. (or their respective affiliates which are Primary Treasury Dealers), or their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, we will 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 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 notice has been provided in accordance with the Indenture and funds for the redemption of this bond called for redemption have been made available on the redemption date, this bond will cease to bear interest on the date fixed for redemption. Thereafter, the only right of the holder hereof will be to receive payment of the redemption price.

Under the Indenture, funds may be deposited with the Trustee (which shall have become available for payment), in advance of the redemption date of any of the bonds of 2020 Series B (or portions thereof), in trust for the redemption of such bonds (or portions thereof) and the interest due or to become due thereon, and thereupon all obligations of the Company in respect of such bonds (or portions thereof) so to be redeemed and such interest shall cease and be discharged, and the holders thereof shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such funds for any and all claims of whatsoever nature on their part under the Indenture or with respect to such bonds (or portions thereof) and interest.

In case an event of default, as defined in the Indenture, shall occur, the principal of all the bonds issued thereunder may become or be declared due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

The bonds of this series are issuable only in fully registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any larger amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000. This Global Security is exchangeable for bonds in definitive form only under certain limited circumstances set forth in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, bonds of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of bonds of this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the registered holder surrendering the same.

This bond is transferable by the registered holder hereof, in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, on the books of the Company kept at its office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, upon surrender and cancellation of this bond, and thereupon, a new registered bond of the same series of authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor, and this bond with others in like form may in like manner be exchanged for one or more new bonds of the same series of other authorized denominations, but of the same aggregate principal amount, all as provided and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, and upon payment, in any event, of the charges prescribed in the Indenture.

25

	No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this bond, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof or of the Indenture, or of any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, or against any past, present or future stockholder, director or officer, as such, of the Company, or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any such predecessor or successor corporation, whether for amounts unpaid on stock subscriptions or by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise howsoever; all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released by every holder or owner hereof, as more fully provided in the Indenture.
