August 27, 1999. Interest is payable to the persons in whose
names the bonds of 1999 Series D are registered at the close of
business on the fifteenth calendar day, whether or not a
Business Day (as defined below), prior to the Interest Payment
Date.
The interest rate on the bonds of 1999 Series D may not
exceed the "Maximum Rate", which is defined to mean the rate of
interest equal to 15% per annum or such higher rate as may be
established from time to time by the Board of Directors of the
Company.
If any Interest Payment Date, other than at stated maturity,
for the bonds of 1999 Series D would otherwise be a day that is
not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date will be
postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, except that
if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month,
such Interest
9
7
Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.
If the stated maturity for the bonds of 1999 Series D falls on
a day which is not a Business Day, payment of principal and
interest with respect to the bonds of 1999 Series D 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.
The interest rate for each Interest Period shall be
determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the
following provisions:
The per annum rate of interest for each Interest Period will
be three-month LIBOR on the second Business Day preceding the
relevant Interest Reset Date (as defined below) for such
Interest Period (the "Interest Determination Date") plus the
applicable spread described above. The Interest Determination
Date for the first Interest Period shall be August 25, 1999.
"LIBOR" for each subsequent Interest Period shall be determined
by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following
provisions:
(i) On each Interest Determination Date, the Calculation
Agent shall ascertain the offered rate for three-month deposits
in U.S. dollars in the London interbank market, which appears on
the Telerate Page 3750, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such
Interest Determination Date.
(ii) If such rate does not appear on the Telerate Page
3750, or the Telerate Page 3750 is unavailable, the Calculation
Agent shall request each of four major banks in the London
interbank market (the "Reference Banks") to provide the
Calculation Agent with its offered quotation (expressed as a
rate per annum) for three-month deposits in U.S. dollars to
leading banks in the London interbank market at approximately
11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Interest Determination Date. If
at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR in respect of
the Interest Determination Date, will be the arithmetic mean of
such quotations.
(iii) If less than two of the Reference Banks provide the
Calculation Agent with such offered quotations, LIBOR in respect
of that Interest Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean
of the rates quoted by three major banks in The City of New York
(selected by the Calculation Agent) at approximately 11:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date for
three-month loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks, in
a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than
$1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in
such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks
selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting
as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR shall be LIBOR in effect on
such Interest Determination Date.
"Interest Reset Date" means, with respect to any Interest
Period, the first day of such Interest Period.
"Business Day" means any day (other than a Saturday or
Sunday) on which banking institutions in The City of New York
are open for business and which is also a London Banking Day.
"London Banking Day" means any day (other than a Saturday or
Sunday) on which dealings in deposits are transacted in the
London interbank market.
"Telerate Page 3750" means the display designated as page
"3750" on the Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or such other page as may
replace that page on that service for the purpose of displaying
the LIBOR Index on a daily basis).
All percentages resulting from any calculation on the bonds
of 1999 Series D shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest
one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five
one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g.,
9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or
.0987655)), and U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from
such calculations shall be rounded to the nearest cent (with
one-half cent being rounded upward).

The Company agrees that, so long as any of the bonds of 1999
Series D remain outstanding, it shall maintain under
appointment an agent (the "Calculation Agent"), initially
Bankers Trust Company, to calculate the rate of interest
payable on the Bonds in respect of each Interest Period as
provided in Section 3 below. If the Calculation Agent is unable
or unwilling to continue to act as such, or if the Calculation
Agent fails to establish the applicable rate of interest for
any Interest Period, or if the Company removes the Calculation
Agent, the Company shall appoint the office of another bank to
act as the Calculation Agent; provided, however, that the
Calculation Agent shall not resign or be removed until
acceptance of an appointment by a successor as evidenced by an
appropriate agreement entered into by the Company and such
successor Calculation Agent.
Each bond of 1999 Series D shall be dated the date of its
authentication and interest shall be payable on the principal
represented thereby from the March 15, June 15, September 15 or
December 15 next preceding the date thereof to which interest
has been paid on bonds of 1999 Series D, unless the bond is
authenticated on a date to which interest has been paid, in
which case interest shall be payable from the date of
authentication, or unless the date of authentication is prior
to September 15, 1999, in which case interest shall be payable
from August 27, 1999 on the bond of 1999 Series D originally
evidencing the debt represented thereby.
The bonds of 1999 Series D 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 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
1999 Series D). Until bonds of 1999 Series D 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 1999 Series D in temporary form, as
provided in Section 10 of Article II of the Indenture.
Temporary bonds of 1999 Series D, if any, may be printed and
may be issued in authorized denominations in substantially the
form of definitive bonds of 1999 Series D, but with such
omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for
temporary bonds, all as may be determined by the Company.
Interest on any bond of 1999 Series D which is payable on any
Interest Payment Date and is punctually paid or duly provided
for shall be paid to the person in whose name that bond, or any
previous bond to the extent evidencing the same debt as that
evidenced by that bond, is registered at the close of business
on the regular record date for such interest, which regular
record date shall be the fifteenth calendar day (whether or not
a business day) next preceding such Interest Payment Date. 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 1999 Series D, 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 1999
Series D 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 1999 Series D 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 1999 Series D 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.
REDEMPTION OF
BONDS OF 1999
SERIES D. SECTION 2. The bonds of 1999 Series D shall not be redeemable
prior to stated maturity.
The bonds of 1999 Series D shall not be entitled to or
subject to any sinking fund.

Manhattan, The City of New York, The State of New York,
together with a written instrument of transfer (if so required
by the Company or by the Trustee) in form approved by the

amount of bonds of 1999 Series D of other authorized
denominations, upon the terms and conditions specified herein
and in Section 7 of Article II of the Indenture. Bonds of 1999
Series D shall be transferable at the office or agency of the
Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, The
State of New York. The Company waives its rights under Section
7 of Article II of the Indenture not to make exchanges or
transfers of bonds of 1999 Series D during any period of ten
(10) days next preceding any interest payment date for such
bonds.
Bonds of 1999 Series D, 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 or with the
rules or regulations of any stock exchange or to conform to
usage with respect thereto.

of 1999 Series D, and the Calculation Agent hereby accepts its
obligations as set forth in this Supplemental Indenture upon

with respect to the bonds of 1999 Series D shall, in the
absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and
binding upon the Company.

believed by it to be genuine. Any order, certificate,
affidavit, instruction, notice, request, direction, statement
or other communication from the Company made or given by it and
sent, delivered or directed to the Calculation Agent under,
pursuant to or as permitted by any provision of this
Supplemental Indenture shall be sufficient for purposes of this
Supplemental Indenture if such communication is in writing and
signed by any officer of the Company. The Calculation Agent may
consult with counsel satisfactory to it (which counsel may be
counsel for the Company) and the opinion of such counsel shall
constitute full and complete protection of the Calculation

(e) The Calculation Agent shall be obligated only to perform
such duties as are specifically set forth herein and no other

(f) The Calculation Agent may at any time terminate its
appointment as Calculation Agent by giving no less than ninety
(90) days' written notice to the Company, unless the Company

of termination by the Calculation Agent, the Company agrees
promptly to appoint a successor Calculation Agent. The Company
may terminate the appointment of the Calculation Agent at any
time by giving written notice to the Calculation Agent of such
termination and specifying the date when such termination shall
become effective; provided, however, that no termination by the
Calculation Agent or by the Company shall become effective
prior to the date of the appointment by the Company, as

entitled to the payment of any compensation owed to it by the
Company hereunder, as provided by paragraph (c) above, and the
provisions of paragraph (h) below shall remain in effect
following such termination.

an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon such
successor Calculation Agent shall, without any further act or
instrument, become vested with all the rights, immunities,
duties and obligations of the Calculation Agent, with like
effect as if originally named as Calculation Agent hereunder,
and the Calculation Agent shall thereupon be obligated to
transfer and deliver, and such successor Calculation Agent
shall be entitled to receive and accept, copies of any
available records maintained by the Calculation Agent in
connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder.

$40,000,000 No. 1
THE DETROIT EDISON COMPANY (hereinafter called the
"Company"), a corporation of the State of Michigan, for value
received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & Co. or registered
assigns, at its office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan,
The City and State of New York, the principal sum of
$40,000,000 in lawful money of the United States of America on
the seventeenth day of September 17, 2001, and to pay interest
thereon as provided below, at such office or agency, in like
lawful money, from August 27, 1999, to the person in whose name
this bond is registered at the close of business on the related
regular record date as provided below, or (subject to certain
exceptions provided in the Indenture hereinafter mentioned),
until the Company's obligation with respect to payment of said
principal shall have been discharged, all as provided, to the
extent and in the manner specified in such Indenture
hereinafter mentioned on the reverse hereof and in the
supplemental indenture pursuant to which this bond has been
issued.
The bonds of 1999 Series D will bear interest at a rate per
annum, reset quarterly, equal to three-month LIBOR (as defined
below) plus seventeen basis points (.17%), as determined by the
Calculation Agent (as defined below). Interest will be computed
on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days in
the applicable Interest Period (as defined below). Interest is
payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September
15, and December 15 of each year, commencing September 15,
1999, except that the final payment of interest will be due on
September 17, 2001, instead of September 15, 2001 (each an
"Interest Payment Date"), for the period commencing on and
including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date and
ending on and including the day preceding the next Interest
Payment Date (each an "Interest Period"), with the exception
that the first Interest Period shall commence on and include
August 27, 1999. Interest is payable to the persons in whose
names the bonds of 1999 Series D are registered at the close of
business on the related regular record date, which shall be the
fifteenth calendar day, whether or not a Business Day (as
defined below), prior to the Interest Payment Date.
The interest rate on the bonds of 1999 Series D may not
exceed the "Maximum Rate", which is defined to mean the rate of
interest equal to 15% per annum or such higher rate as may be
established from time to time by the Board of Directors of the
Company.
If any Interest Payment Date, other than at stated maturity,
for the bonds of 1999 Series D would otherwise be a day that is
not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date will be
postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, except that
if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month,
such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding
Business Day. If the stated maturity for the bonds of 1999
Series D falls on a day which is not a Business Day, payment of
principal and interest with respect to the bonds of 1999 Series
D 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.
The interest rate for each Interest Period will be determined
by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following
provisions:
The per annum rate of interest for each Interest Period will
be three-month LIBOR on the second Business Day preceding the
relevant Interest Reset Date (as defined below) for such
Interest Period (the "Interest Determination Date") plus the
applicable spread described above. The Interest Determination
Date for the first Interest Period will be August 25, 1999.
"LIBOR" for each subsequent Interest
14
12
Period will be determined by the Calculation Agent in
accordance with the following provisions:
(i) On each Interest Determination Date, the Calculation
Agent will ascertain the offered rate for three-month deposits
in U.S. dollars in the London interbank market, which appears on
the Telerate Page 3750, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such
Interest Determination Date.
(ii) If such rate does not appear on the Telerate Page
3750, or the Telerate Page 3750 is unavailable, the Calculation
Agent will request each of four major banks in the London
interbank market (the "Reference Banks") to provide the
Calculation Agent with its offered quotation (expressed as a
rate per annum) for three-month deposits in U.S. dollars to
leading banks in the London interbank market at approximately
11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Interest Determination Date. If
at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR in respect of
the Interest Determination Date, will be the arithmetic mean of
such quotations.
(iii) If less than two of the Reference Banks provide the
Calculation Agent with such offered quotations, LIBOR in respect
of that Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean
of the rates quoted by three major banks in The City of New York
(selected by the Calculation Agent) at approximately 11:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date for
three-month loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks, in
a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than
$1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in
such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks
selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting
as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR will be LIBOR in effect on
such Interest Determination Date.
"Interest Reset Date" means, with respect to any Interest
Period, the first day of such Interest Period.
"Business Day" means any day (other than a Saturday or
Sunday) on which banking institutions in The City of New York
are open for business and which is also a London Banking Day.
"London Banking Day" means any day (other than a Saturday or
Sunday) on which dealings in deposits are transacted in the
London interbank market.
"Telerate Page 3750" means the display designated as page
"3750" on the Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or such other page as may
replace that page on that service for the purpose of displaying
the LIBOR Index on a daily basis).
All percentages resulting from any calculation on the bonds
of 1999 Series D will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest
one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five
one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g.,
9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or
.0987655)), and U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from
such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with
one-half cent being rounded upward).
The Company has agreed that, so long as any of the bonds of
1999 Series D remain outstanding, it will maintain under
appointment an agent (the "Calculation Agent"), initially
Bankers Trust Company, to calculate the rate of interest
payable on the Bonds in respect of each Interest Period. If the
Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to continue to act as
such, or if the Calculation Agent fails to establish the
applicable rate of interest for any Interest Period, or if the
Company removes the Calculation Agent, the Company will appoint
the office of another bank to act as the Calculation Agent;
provided, however, that the Calculation Agent shall not resign
or be removed until acceptance of an appointment by a successor
as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the
Company and such successor Calculation Agent.
15
13
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this
bond set forth on the reverse hereof and such further
provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as
though set forth at this place.
This bond shall not be valid or become obligatory for any
purpose until Bankers Trust Company, the Trustee under the
Indenture hereinafter mentioned on the reverse hereof, or its
successor thereunder, shall have signed the form of certificate
endorsed hereon.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, THE DETROIT EDISON COMPANY has caused

President and Treasurer, with his manual or facsimile
signature, and its corporate seal, or a facsimile thereof, to
