FIRST MORTGAGE BOND
2005-1 COLLATERAL SERIES (INTEREST BEARING)
This bond is one of the bonds of a series designated as First
Mortgage Bonds, 2005-1 Collateral Series (Interest Bearing) (sometimes herein
referred to as the "2005-1 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 (JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 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.
The 2005-1 Collateral Bonds are to be issued and delivered to
the Agent in order to evidence and secure the obligation of the Company under
the Credit Agreement to make payments to the Banks under the Credit Agreement
and to provide the Banks the benefit of the lien of the Indenture with respect
to the 2005-1 Collateral Bonds.
-5-
The obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to
the principal of 2005-1 Collateral Bonds shall be fully or partially, as the
case may be, satisfied and discharged to the extent that, at the time that any
such payment shall be due, the then due principal of the Loans and/or the
Reimbursement Obligations included in the Obligations shall have been fully or
partially paid. Satisfaction of any obligation to the extent that payment is
made with respect to the Loans and/or the Reimbursement Obligations means that
if any payment is made on the principal of the Loans and/or the Reimbursement
Obligations, a corresponding payment obligation with respect to the principal of
the 2005-1 Collateral Bonds shall be deemed discharged in the same amount as the
payment with respect to the Loans and/or the Reimbursement Obligations
discharges the outstanding obligation with respect to such Loans and/or
Reimbursement Obligations. No such payment of principal shall reduce the
principal amount of the 2005-1 Collateral Bonds.
The obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to
the interest on 2005-1 Collateral Bonds shall be fully or partially, as the case
may be, satisfied and discharged to the extent that, at the time that any such
payment shall be due, the then due interest and/or fees under the Credit
Agreement shall have been fully or partially paid. Satisfaction of any
obligation to the extent that payment is made with respect to the interest
and/or fees under the Credit Agreement means that if any payment is made on the
interest and/or fees under the Credit Agreement, a corresponding payment
obligation with respect to the interest on the 2005-1 Collateral Bonds shall be
deemed discharged in the same amount as the payment with respect to the Loans
and/or the Reimbursement Obligations discharges the outstanding obligation with
respect to such Loans and/or Reimbursement Obligations.
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 interest on this bond, so far as such payments at the time have
become due, has been fully satisfied and discharged unless and until the Trustee
shall have received a written notice from the Agent stating (i) that timely
payment of principal and interest on the 2005-1 Collateral Bonds has not been
made, (ii) that the Company is in arrears as to the payments required to be made
by it to the Agent in connection with the Obligations pursuant to the Credit
Agreement, and (iii) the amount of the arrearage.
If an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement)
with respect to the payment of the principal of the Loans and/or the
Reimbursement Obligations shall have occurred, it shall be deemed to be a
default for purposes of Section 11.01 of the Indenture in the payment of the
principal of the 2005-1 Collateral Bonds equal to the amount of such unpaid
principal or Reimbursement Obligations (but in no event in excess of the
principal amount of the 2005-1 Collateral Bonds). If an Event of Default (as
defined in the Credit Agreement) with respect to the payment of interest on the
Loans and/or the Reimbursement Obligations or any fees shall have occurred, it
shall be deemed to be a default for purposes of Section 11.01 of the Indenture
in the payment of the interest on the 2005-1 Collateral Bonds equal to the
amount of such unpaid interest or fees.
This bond is not redeemable except upon written demand of the
Agent following the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement
and the acceleration of the Obligations, as provided in Section 9.2 of the
Credit Agreement. This bond is not redeemable by
-6-
the operation of the improvement fund or the maintenance and replacement
provisions of the Indenture or with the proceeds of released property.
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.
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 (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 percentage of the principal amount of the 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 2005-1 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 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.
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 Investor Services Department
of the Company, as transfer agent. However, notwithstanding
-7-
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.
The Agent shall surrender this bond to the Trustee when all of
the principal of and interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations arising
under the Credit Agreement, and all of the fees payable pursuant to the Credit
Agreement with respect to the Obligations shall have been duly paid, and the
Credit Agreement shall have been terminated.

principal of and premium, if any, and interest on every such bond shall, subject
to the terms thereof, be equally and proportionately secured, as if it had been

with the execution and delivery thereof.
AND IT IS EXPRESSLY DECLARED by the Company that all bonds
authenticated and delivered under and secured by the Indenture, as supplemented
and amended as above set forth, are to be issued, authenticated and delivered,
and all said premises, property, franchises and rights hereby and by the
Indenture and indentures supplemental thereto conveyed, assigned, pledged or
mortgaged, or intended so to be, are to be dealt with and disposed of under,
upon and subject to the terms, conditions, stipulations, covenants, agreements,
trusts, uses and purposes expressed in the Indenture, as supplemented and
amended as above set forth, and the parties hereto mutually agree as follows:
SECTION 1. There is hereby created a series of bonds (the
"2005-1 Interest Bearing 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 "Sample Bond").
The 2005-1 Interest Bearing Collateral Bonds shall be issued in the aggregate
principal amount of $500,000,000, shall mature on the Termination Date (as such
term is defined in the Credit Agreement) and shall be issued only as registered
bonds without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any multiple thereof. The
serial numbers of the 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 Collateral Bonds are to be issued to and registered in the name of the Agent
under
-9-
the Credit Agreement (as such terms are defined in the Sample Bond) to evidence
and secure any and all Obligations (as such term is defined in the Credit
Agreement) of the Company under the Credit Agreement.
The 2005-1 Collateral Bonds shall bear interest as set forth
in the Sample Bond. The principal of and the interest on said bonds shall be
payable as set forth in the Sample Bond.
The obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to
the principal of 2005-1 Interest Bearing Collateral Bonds shall be fully or
partially, as the case may be, satisfied and discharged to the extent that, at
the time that any such payment shall be due, the then due principal of the Loans
and/or the Reimbursement Obligations included in the the Obligations shall have
been fully or partially paid. Satisfaction of any obligation to the extent that
payment is made with respect to the Loans and/or the Reimbursement Obligations
means that if any payment is made on the principal of the Loans and/or the
Reimbursement Obligations, a corresponding payment obligation with respect to
the principal of the 2005-1 Collateral Bonds shall be deemed discharged in the
same amount as the payment with respect to the Loans and/or the Reimbursement
Obligations discharges the outstanding obligation with respect to such Loans
and/or Reimbursement Obligations. No such payment of principal shall reduce the
principal amount of the 2005-1 Collateral Bonds.
The obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to
the interest on 2005-1 Collateral Bonds shall be fully or partially, as the case
may be, satisfied and discharged to the extent that, at the time that any such
payment shall be due, the then due interest and/or fees under the Credit
Agreement, shall have been fully or partially paid. Satisfaction of any
obligation to the extent that payment is made with respect to the interest
and/or fees under the Credit Agreement means that if any payment is made on the
interest and/or fees under the Credit Agreement, a corresponding payment
obligation with respect to the interest on the 2005-1 Collateral Bonds shall be
deemed discharged in the same amount as the payment with respect to the interest
and/or fees discharges the outstanding obligation with respect to such interest
and/or fees.
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 interest on the Collateral Bonds, so far as such payments at
the time have become due, has been fully satisfied and discharged unless and
until the Trustee shall have received a written notice from the Agent stating
(i) that timely payment of principal and interest on the 2005-1 Collateral Bonds
has not been made, (ii) that the Company is in arrears as to the payments
required to be made by it to the Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and
(iii) the amount of the arrearage.
The 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.
-10-
SECTION 2. The Collateral Bonds are not redeemable by the
operation of the maintenance and replacement provisions of this Indenture or
with the proceeds of released property.
SECTION 3. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under
the Credit Agreement and the acceleration of the Obligations, the Collateral
Bonds shall be redeemable in whole upon receipt by the Trustee of a written
demand from the Agent stating that there has occurred under the Credit Agreement
both an Event of Default and a declaration of acceleration of the Obligations
and demanding redemption of the Collateral Bonds (including a description of the
amount of principal, interest and fees which comprise such Obligations). The
Company waives any right it may have to prior notice of such redemption under
the Indenture. Upon surrender of the Collateral Bonds by the Agent to the
Trustee, the Collateral Bonds shall be redeemed at a redemption price equal to
the aggregate amount of the Obligations.
SECTION 4. The Company reserves the right, without any
consent, vote or other action by the holder of the Collateral 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 17.02 to read as follows:
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) 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
-11-
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 5. 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 6. 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 Agent, for the
-12-
benefit of the Banks (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement), any
right or interest to avail himself of any benefit under any provision of the
Indenture, as so supplemented and amended.
SECTION 7. 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 sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth recitals hereof), all of
which recitals and statements are made solely by the Company.
SECTION 8. 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 9. In the event the date of any notice required or
permitted hereunder shall not be a Business Day (as defined below), 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 this
Section 9, 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

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.
