		PART I.

		CREATION OF THREE HUNDRED FORTY-SEVENTH
		SERIES OF BONDS,
		GENERAL AND REFUNDING MORTGAGE BONDS,
		2006 SERIES CT


TERMS OF BONDS OF 2006 SERIES CT.		SECTION 1. The Company hereby creates the three hundred forty-seventh 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, 2006 Series CT” (elsewhere herein referred to as the “bonds of 2006 Series CT”). The aggregate principal amount of bonds of 2006 Series CT shall be limited to Sixty-eight million five hundred thousand dollars ($68,500,000), except as provided in Sections 7 and 13 of Article II of the Original Indenture with respect to exchanges and replacements of bonds.

		Subject to the release provisions set forth below, each bond of 2006 Series CT is to be irrevocably assigned to, and registered in the name of, The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, or a successor trustee (said trustee or any successor trustee being hereinafter referred to as the “Note Indenture Trustee”), under the collateral trust indenture, dated as of June 30, 1993, as supplemented (the “Note Indenture”), between the Note Indenture Trustee and the Company, to secure payment of the Company’s 2006 Series CT Variable Rate Senior Notes due 2036 (for purposes of this Part I, the “Notes”).

		The bonds of 2006 Series CT shall be issued as registered bonds without coupons in denominations of a multiple of $1,000. The bonds of 2006 Series


		CT shall be issued in the aggregate principal amount of $68,500,000, shall mature on December 1, 2036 (subject to earlier redemption or release) and shall bear interest at the rate of interest established for the Strategic Fund Bonds from time to time in accordance with the Strategic Fund Indenture, payable on such dates as interest shall be payable on the Strategic Fund Bonds, until the principal thereof shall have become due and payable and thereafter until the Company’s obligation with respect to the payment of said principal shall have been discharged as provided in the Indenture.

		The bonds of 2006 Series CT shall be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest as provided in the Indenture, but only to the extent and in the manner herein provided. The bonds of 2006 Series CT shall be payable, as to principal, premium, if any, and interest, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts.

		Except as provided herein, each bond of 2006 Series CT shall be dated the date of its authentication and interest shall be payable on the principal represented thereby from the next preceding date to which interest has been paid on bonds of 2006 Series CT, 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 the first date on which interest is payable on the Strategic Fund Bonds, in which case interest shall be payable from December 8, 2006.

		The bonds of 2006 Series CT 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 2006 Series CT). Until bonds of 2006 Series CT 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 2006 Series CT in temporary form, as provided in Section 10 of Article II of the Indenture. Temporary bonds of 2006 Series CT, if any, may be printed and may be issued in authorized denominations in substantially the form of definitive bonds of 2006 Series CT, but without a recital of redemption prices and 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 2006 Series CT that 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 record date for the Strategic Fund Bonds with respect to 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 2006 Series CT, 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 2006 Series CT 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 2006 Series CT 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 2006 Series CT 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.

		Bonds of 2006 Series CT shall not be assignable or transferable except as may be set forth under Section 405 of the Note Indenture or in the supplemental note indenture relating to the Notes, or, subject to compliance with applicable law, as may be involved in the course of the exercise of rights and remedies consequent upon an Event of Default under the Note Indenture. Any such transfer shall be made upon surrender thereof for cancellation at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and 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 Company duly executed by the holder or by its duly authorized attorney. Bonds of 2006 Series CT shall in the same manner be exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of bonds of 2006 Series CT upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in Section 7 of Article II of the Indenture. The Company waives its rights under Section 7 of Article II of the Indenture not to make exchanges or transfers of bonds of 2006 Series CT during any period of ten (10) days next preceding any redemption date for such bonds.

		Bonds of 2006 Series CT, 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 as may be specified in the Note Indenture.

		Upon payment of the principal or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, whether at maturity or prior to maturity by redemption or otherwise, or upon provision for the payment thereof having been made in accordance with Article V of the Note Indenture, bonds of 2006 Series CT in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Notes, shall, to the extent of such payment of principal, premium or interest, be deemed fully paid and the obligation of the Company thereunder to make such payment shall forthwith cease and be discharged, and, in the case of the payment of principal and premium, if any, such bonds shall be surrendered for cancellation or presented for appropriate notation to the Trustee.

		In the event the Company desires to provide for the payment of bonds of 2006 Series CT, in lieu of defeasing such bonds in accordance with the Indenture, it shall either redeem an equal principal amount of Strategic Fund Bonds or take such action as shall be required by Article VIII of the Strategic Fund Indenture to defease an equal principal amount of the Strategic Fund Bonds. Pursuant to Section 2.03(c) of the Twenty-First Supplemental Indenture to the Note Indenture dated December 1, 2006, such redemption or defeasance shall result in the discharge of the Company’s obligation with respect to such Notes and the cancellation thereof which, in accordance with the preceding paragraph, shall result in the discharge of the Company’s obligation with respect to the applicable bonds of 2006 Series CT and cancellation thereof.


		Any amount payable by the Company in respect of principal of bonds of 2006 Series CT, whether at maturity or prior to maturity by redemption or upon acceleration or otherwise, in a circumstance where there has not been a corresponding payment of principal of Strategic Fund Bonds shall be applied simultaneously to the redemption or defeasance of an equal principal amount of Strategic Fund Bonds in accordance with the Strategic Fund Indenture. In the event the amount so paid is insufficient to provide for such redemption or defeasance, the Company shall pay such additional amount as shall be necessary to make up for the deficiency.

RELEASE.		SECTION 2. From and after the Release Date (as defined in the Note Indenture), the bonds of 2006 Series CT shall be deemed fully paid, satisfied and discharged and the obligation of the Company thereunder shall be terminated. On the Release Date, the bonds of 2006 Series CT shall be surrendered to and canceled by the Trustee. The Company covenants and agrees that, prior to the Release Date, it will not take any action that would cause the outstanding principal amount of the bonds of 2006 Series CT to be less than the then-outstanding principal amount of the Notes.

REDEMPTION OF BONDS OF 2006 SERIES CT.		SECTION 3. Bonds of 2006 Series CT shall be redeemed on the respective dates and in the respective principal amounts which correspond to the redemption dates for, and the principal amounts to be redeemed of, the Notes.

		In the event the Company elects to redeem any Notes prior to maturity in accordance with the provisions of the Note Indenture and the Insurance Agreement, the Company shall give the Trustee and the Insurer notice of redemption of bonds of 2006 Series CT on the same date as it gives notice of redemption of Notes to the Note Indenture Trustee.

REDEMPTION OF BONDS OF 2006 SERIES CT IN EVENT OF ACCELERATION OF NOTES OR IN EVENT OF REDEMPTION OF NOTES UPON ACCELERATION OF STRATEGIC FUND BONDS.		SECTION 4. In the event of an Event of Default under the Note Indenture and the acceleration of all Notes, the bonds of 2006 Series CT shall be redeemable in whole upon receipt by the Trustee of a written demand (hereinafter called a “Redemption Demand”) from the Note Indenture Trustee stating that there has occurred under the Note Indenture both an Event of Default and a declaration of acceleration of payment of principal, accrued interest and premium, if any, on the Notes, specifying the last date to which interest on the Notes has been paid (such date being hereinafter referred to as the “Initial Interest Accrual Date”) and demanding redemption of the bonds of said series. In addition, in the event of a required redemption of the Notes upon demand of the Insurer prior to the Release Date upon a declaration of acceleration of the payment of the Strategic Fund Bonds, the bonds of 2006 Series CT shall be redeemable in whole upon receipt by the Trustee of a Redemption Demand from the Note Indenture Trustee stating that such redemption of the Notes is required, stating that the redemption price was not paid when due and demanding redemption of the bonds of 2006 Series CT. The Trustee shall, within five (5) days after receiving such Redemption Demand, mail a copy thereof to the Company marked to indicate the date of its receipt by the Trustee. Promptly upon receipt by the Company of such copy of a Redemption Demand, the Company shall fix a date on which it will redeem the bonds of said series so demanded to be redeemed (hereinafter called the “Demand Redemption Date”). Notice of the date fixed as the Demand Redemption Date shall be mailed by the Company to the Trustee at least ten (10) days prior to such Demand Redemption Date. The


		date to be fixed by the Company as and for the Demand Redemption Date may be any date up to and including the earlier of (x) the 60th day after receipt by the Trustee of the Redemption Demand or (y) the maturity date of such bonds first occurring following the 20th day after the receipt by the Trustee of the Redemption Demand; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received such notice fixing the Demand Redemption Date on or before the 10th day preceding the earlier of such dates, the Demand Redemption Date shall be deemed to be the earlier of such dates. The Trustee shall mail notice of the Demand Redemption Date (such notice being hereinafter called the “Demand Redemption Notice”) to the Note Indenture Trustee not more than ten (10) nor less than five (5) days prior to the Demand Redemption Date.

		Each bond of 2006 Series CT shall be redeemed by the Company on the Demand Redemption Date therefor upon surrender thereof by the Note Indenture Trustee to the Trustee at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest thereon at the rate specified for such bond from the Initial Interest Accrual Date to the Demand Redemption Date plus an amount equal to the aggregate premium, if any, due and payable on such Demand Redemption Date on all Notes; provided, however, that in the event of a receipt by the Trustee of a notice that, pursuant to Section 602 of the Note Indenture, the Note Indenture Trustee has terminated proceedings to enforce any right under the Note Indenture, then any Redemption Demand shall thereby be rescinded by the Note Indenture Trustee, and no Demand Redemption Notice shall be given, or, if already given, shall be automatically annulled; but no such rescission or annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

		Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee is not authorized to take any action pursuant to a Redemption Demand and such Redemption Demand shall be of no force or effect, unless it is executed in the name of the Note Indenture Trustee by its President or one of its Vice Presidents.

FORM OF BONDS OF 2006 SERIES CT.		SECTION 5. The bonds of 2006 Series CT and the form of Trustee’s Certificate to be endorsed on such bonds shall be substantially in the following forms, respectively:

		Notwithstanding any provisions hereof or in the Indenture, this bond is not assignable or transferable except as may be required to effect a transfer to any successor trustee under the Collateral Trust Indenture, dated as of June 30, 1993, as amended, and as further supplemented as of December 1, 2006, between The Detroit Edison Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as Note Indenture Trustee, or, subject to compliance with applicable law, as may be involved in the course of the exercise of rights and remedies consequent upon an Event of Default under said Indenture.


		$		No. R-


		THE DETROIT EDISON COMPANY (hereinafter called the “Company”), a


		corporation of the State of Michigan, for value received, hereby promises to pay to The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as Note Indenture Trustee, or registered assigns, at the Company’s office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, the principal sum of ___ Dollars ($___) in lawful money of the United States of America on December 1, 2036 (subject to earlier redemption or release) and interest thereon at the rate of interest established for the Strategic Fund Bonds from time to time in accordance with the Strategic Fund Indenture, in like lawful money, from December 8, 2006, and after the first payment of interest on bonds of this Series has been made or otherwise provided for, from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or otherwise provided for, on such dates as interest shall be payable on the Strategic Fund Bonds, 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 the Indenture hereinafter mentioned and in the supplemental indenture pursuant to which this bond has been issued.

		Under a Collateral Trust Indenture, dated as of June 30, 1993, as amended and as further supplemented as of December 1, 2006 (hereinafter called the “Note Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as successor trustee (hereinafter called the “Note Indenture Trustee”), the Company has issued its 2006 Series CT Variable Rate Senior Notes due 2036 (the “Notes”). This bond was originally issued to the Note Indenture Trustee so as to secure the payment of the Notes. Payments of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes shall constitute like payments on this bond as further provided herein and in the supplemental indenture pursuant to which this bond has been issued.

		The Notes were issued to XL Capital Assurance Inc., an insurance company incorporated under the laws of the State of New York (the “Insurer”), to secure the Company’s obligations to the Insurer under the Insurance Agreement dated December 1, 2006 (the “Insurance Agreement”) among the Company, the Insurer and the Strategic Fund Bond Trustee relating to Financial Guaranty Insurance Policy No. [___] issued by the Insurer with respect to the Michigan Strategic Fund Variable Rate Limited Obligation Revenue Bonds (The Detroit Edison Company Exempt Facilities Project), Series 2006CT (the “Strategic Fund Bonds”) which are issued under the Trust Indenture dated as of December 1, 2006 (the “Strategic Fund Indenture”) between the Michigan Strategic Fund and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Strategic Fund Bond Trustee”).

		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 2006 Series CT, limited to an aggregate principal amount of $68,500,000, 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 J.P.


		Morgan Trust Company, National Association, as successor Trustee, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (including the Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 1, 2006) 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 December 1, 2006, 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 redeemable prior to the Release Date upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, including provision for redemption upon demand of the Note Indenture Trustee following the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Note Indenture and the acceleration of the principal of the Notes and including provision for redemption upon demand of the Note Indenture Trustee in the event of a required redemption of the Notes following a declaration of acceleration of the Strategic Fund Bonds and payment by the Insurer of the accelerated principal of the Strategic Fund Bonds, such demand stating that such redemption of the Notes is required, stating that the redemption price thereof was not paid when due and demanding redemption of this bond.

		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 2006 Series CT (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 the event the Company desires to provide for the payment of bonds of 2006 Series CT, in lieu of defeasing such bonds in accordance with the Indenture, the Company shall either redeem an equal principal amount of Strategic Fund Bonds or take such action as shall be required by the Strategic


		Fund Indenture to defease an equal principal amount of Strategic Fund Bonds.

		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.

		Any amount payable by the Company in respect of principal of bonds of 2006 Series CT, whether at maturity or prior to maturity by redemption or otherwise, in a circumstance where there has not been a corresponding payment of principal of Strategic Fund Bonds shall be applied simultaneously to the redemption or defeasance of an equal principal amount of Strategic Fund Bonds in accordance with the Strategic Fund Indenture.

		Upon payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes, whether at maturity or prior to maturity by redemption or otherwise or upon provision for the payment thereof having been made in accordance with Article V of the Note Indenture, bonds of 2006 Series CT in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Notes, and having both a corresponding maturity date and interest rate shall, to the extent of such payment of principal, premium or interest, be deemed fully paid and the obligation of the Company thereunder to make such payment shall forthwith cease and be discharged, and, in the case of the payment of principal and premium, if any, such bonds of said series shall be surrendered for cancellation or presented for appropriate notation to the Trustee.

		This bond is not assignable or transferable except as set forth under Section 405 of the Note Indenture or in the supplemental indenture relating to the Notes, or, subject to compliance with applicable law, as may be involved in the course of the exercise of rights and remedies consequent upon an Event of Default under the Note Indenture. Any such transfer shall be made 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.

		From and after the Release Date (as defined in the Note Indenture), the bonds of 2006 Series CT shall be deemed fully paid, satisfied and discharged and the obligation of the Company thereunder shall be terminated. On the Release Date, the bonds of 2006 Series CT shall be surrendered to and cancelled by the Trustee. The Company covenants and agrees that, prior to the Release Date, it will not take any action that would cause the outstanding principal amount of the bonds of 2006 Series CT to be less than the then-outstanding principal amount of the Notes.

		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.

		This bond shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, or its successor thereunder, shall have signed the form of certificate endorsed hereon.

		IN WITNESS WHEREOF, THE DETROIT EDISON COMPANY has caused this instrument to be executed by an authorized officer, with his or her manual or facsimile signatures, and its corporate seal, or a facsimile thereof, to be impressed or imprinted hereon and the same to be attested by its Corporate Secretary or Assistant Corporate Secretary by manual or facsimile signature.
