       WHEREAS, the Company has requested the Trustee to join with it in the

valuable considerations, it is agreed by and between the Company and the
Trustees as follows:



         DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY ACQUIRED AFTER EXECUTION AND DELIVERY
                  OF THE THIRTY-SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

       The Company hereby confirms unto the Trustees, and records the

expressly made a part hereof, which property has been acquired by the Company
after the execution and delivery of the Thirty-second Supplemental Indenture

                                     PART I

           PROVISIONS RELATING TO SECURED MEDIUM-TERM NOTES, SERIES B

                                   ARTICLE I
          CREATION OF AN ISSUE OF FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS, DESIGNATED AND
            DISTINGUISHED AS "SECURED MEDIUM-TERM NOTES, SERIES B."

       SECTION 1.  There is hereby created a Thirtieth series of bonds to be
issued under and secured by the Indenture, to be known as "First Mortgage
Bonds," designated and distinguished as "Secured Medium-Term Notes, Series B"
of the Company (herein sometimes called "Bonds of Thirtieth Series").  The
Bonds of Thirtieth Series may be issued without limitation as to aggregate
principal amount except as provided in the Indenture and in this Thirty-third
Supplemental Indenture.  The Bonds of Thirtieth Series shall be registered
bonds without coupons and shall be dated as of the date of the authentication
thereof by the Trustee.

       Each Bond of Thirtieth Series shall mature on such date nine months or
more from date of issue, shall bear interest at such rate or rates selected by
the purchaser and agreed to by the Company, or selected by the Company and
agreed to by the purchaser payable semi-annually on the first day of February
and August of each year and at maturity (each an interest payment date) and
have such other terms and provisions not inconsistent with the Indenture as the
Board of Directors may determine in accordance with a resolution filed with the
Trustee referring to this Thirty-third Supplemental Indenture; the principal,
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds of Thirtieth Series shall be payable
in lawful money of the United States of America; the place where such principal
and premium, if any, shall be payable shall be the corporate trust office of
the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, and
the place where such interest shall be payable shall be the office or agency of
the
   7

                                       4

Company in said Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York.

       So long as there is no existing default in the payment of interest on
the Bonds of Thirtieth Series, all Bonds of Thirtieth Series authenticated by
the Trustee after the record date hereinafter specified for any interest
payment date, and prior to such interest payment date (unless the issue date
hereinafter specified is after such record date) shall be dated the date of
authentication, but shall bear interest from such interest payment date, and
the person in whose name any Bond of Thirtieth Series is registered at the
close of business on any record date with respect to any interest payment date
shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such interest payment date
notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such Bond of Thirtieth Series
subsequent to the record date and on or prior to such interest payment date,
except if and to the extent the Company shall default in the payment of the
interest due on such interest payment date, in which case such defaulted
interest shall be paid to the person in whose name such Bond of Thirtieth
Series is registered on the record date for the interest payment date fixed by
the Company for the payment of such defaulted interest, provided that in no
case shall such record date be less than ten days after notice thereof shall
have been mailed to all registered holders of Bonds of Thirtieth Series; and
provided that interest payable on a maturity date will be payable to the person
to whom the principal thereof is payable.  If the issue date of any Bond of
Thirtieth Series is after such record date, such Bond shall bear interest from
the issue date but payment of interest shall commence on the second interest
payment date next succeeding the issue date.  Any notice which is mailed as
herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been properly and
sufficiently given on the date of such mailing, whether or not the holder
receives notice.

       The term "record date" as used herein with respect to any interest
payment date shall mean the last business day which is more than ten (10)
calendar days prior to such interest payment date.  The term "business day" as
used herein shall mean any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on
which the offices of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City and
State of New York, are authorized or required to be closed pursuant to
authorization of law.

       The term "issue date" as used herein with respect to Bonds of Thirtieth
Series of a designated interest rate and maturity shall mean the date of first
authentication of Bonds of such designated interest rate and maturity.

       As used in this Section 1, the term "default in the payment of interest"
means failure to pay interest on the applicable interest payment date
disregarding any period of grace permitted by Section 9.01 of the Indenture.

       SECTION 2.  Each Bond of Thirtieth Series may be redeemable prior to
maturity, at the option of the Company in whole at any time or in part from
time to time, or may be repayable by the Company at the option of the holder
prior to its stated maturity, as the Board of Directors may determine in
accordance with a resolution filed with the Trustee referring to this
Thirty-third Supplemental Indenture, on notice given in the manner set forth in
Article IV of the Indenture and as in this Section 2 provided; provided,
however, that if at the time of mailing of any notice of redemption of Bonds of
Thirtieth Series, the Company shall not have deposited with the Trustee and/or
irrevocably directed the Trustee to apply, from money held by it available to
be used for the redemption of Bonds of Thirtieth Series, an amount in cash
sufficient to redeem all of the Bonds of Thirtieth Series called for
redemption, such notice may state that it is subject to the receipt of the
redemption monies by the Trustee before the date fixed for redemption and such
notice shall be of no effect unless such monies are so received before such
date; provided further, however, that any Bond of the Thirtieth Series may
state that it may not be redeemed at the option of the Company through a
refunding, directly or indirectly, by or in anticipation of the incurring of
any debt which has an interest cost to the Company of less than the effective
interest cost of such Bond.  The term "interest cost to the Company"
   8

                                       5

shall mean the annual percentage yield to stated maturity of the debt at the
net price to the Company therefore, determined by reference to a standard table
of bond yields, with a straight-line interpolation if necessary.  The "net
price to the Company" shall be determined after adding all premiums and
deducting all discounts, commissions, stand-by or commitment charges and any
other compensation received or receivable directly from the Company by
underwriters, investment bankers or other financing agents or purchasers.
Prior to each redemption of any Bonds of Thirtieth Series at the option of the
Company which by their terms are subject to the restrictions of this proviso,
the Company will deliver to the Trustee an officers' certificate showing
compliance with the proviso in the third preceding sentence prior to the
"Limitation Date" specified on such Bonds.

       In case the Company shall at any time elect to redeem all or any part of
the Bonds of Thirtieth Series, it shall give notice to the effect that it
intends to redeem all or a part thereof, as the case may be, on a date therein
designated, specifying in case of a redemption of a part of the Bonds of
Thirtieth Series the distinctive numbers of the bonds to be redeemed and, if
applicable, the portion of the bond to be redeemed and if at the time of
mailing of any such notice of redemption of Bonds of Thirtieth Series the
Company shall not have deposited with the Trustee and/or irrevocably directed
the Trustee to apply, from money held by it available to be used for the
redemption of Bonds of Thirtieth Series an amount in cash sufficient to redeem
all of the bonds called for redemption, including accrued interest to such date
fixed for redemption, such notice may state that it is subject to the receipt
of the redemption monies by the Trustee before the date fixed for redemption
and such notice shall be of no effect unless such monies are so received before
such date.

       Such notice, in the case of redemption of Bonds of Thirtieth Series at
the option of the Company, shall be given by mail by the Company, postage
prepaid, at least thirty days prior to such redemption date, to the holders of
all Bonds of Thirtieth Series to be so redeemed, at the addresses that shall
appear upon the register thereof.  Any notice which is mailed as herein
provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been properly and sufficiently
given on the date of such mailing, whether or not the holder receives the
notice.  In any case, failure to give due notice by mail, or any defect in the
notice, to the registered owners of any Bonds of Thirtieth Series designated
for redemption as a whole or in part, shall not affect the validity of the
proceedings for the redemption of any other bonds.

       If less than the whole principal amount of a Bond of Thirtieth Series
shall be called for redemption or be repurchased, the Company shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without charge, to the holder
thereof, a Bond or Bonds of Thirtieth Series (but only of authorized
denominations) for the unredeemed or unpurchased balance of the principal
amount of the Bond of Thirtieth Series surrendered.

       SECTION 3.  The Bonds of Thirtieth Series shall be registered bonds
without coupons.  The Trustee shall be the registrar and paying agent for the
Bonds of the Thirtieth Series, which duties it hereby accepts.  Bonds of
Thirtieth Series may be issued in the denomination of $1,000 or any integral
multiple thereof.

       The forms of Bonds of Thirtieth Series shall be substantially as follows
or in the form set forth in a resolution of the Board of Directors of the
Company referring to this Thirty-third Supplemental Indenture filed with the
Trustee (any of the provisions of such Bond may be set forth on the reverse
side thereof):

            [FORM OF REDEEMABLE BOND, IF ANY, OF THIRTIETH SERIES]

       Unless and until this Bond is exchanged in whole or in part for
certificated Bonds registered in the names of the various beneficial holders
hereof as then certified to the Trustee by The Depository Trust Company or its
successor (the

Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to
the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any
such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor
Depositary.  Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized
representative of the Depositary to the issuer or its agent for registration of
transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the
name of Cede & Co. or such other name as requested by an authorized
representative of the Depositary and any amount payable thereunder is made
payable to Cede & Co. or such other name, ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE
HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE

       MICHIGAN CONSOLIDATED GAS COMPANY (hereinafter called the "Company"), a
corporation of the State of Michigan, for value received, hereby promises to
pay to............................or registered assigns, the sum
of...............Dollars on the Maturity Date specified above, at the corporate
trust office of the Trustee hereinafter named in the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York, New York or at the principal office of any successor in

thereon at the Interest Rate specified above, in like lawful money payable
semi-annually at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of

August in each year and on the Maturity Date (each an Interest Payment Date)
from the Issue Date specified above or from the most recent Interest Payment
Date to which interest has been paid, commencing on the Interest Payment Date
next succeeding the Issue Date, until the Company's obligation with respect to
the payment of such principal sum shall be discharged as provided in the
indentures hereinafter mentioned; provided, however, if the date of this bond
is after a Record Date (defined below) with respect to any Interest Payment
Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, then interest shall be payable
only from such Interest Payment Date (unless the Issue Date is after such
Record Date).  If the Issue Date is after such Record Date, then payment of
interest shall commence on the second Interest Payment Date succeeding the
Issue Date (but shall be payable from the Issue Date).  If the Company shall
default in the payment of interest due on any Interest Payment Date, then
interest shall be payable from the next preceding Interest Payment Date to
which interest has been paid, or, if no such interest has been paid on the
bonds, from the Issue Date.  So long as there is no existing default in the
payment of interest, the person in whose name this bond was registered at the
close of business on any Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date
shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such Interest Payment
Date, except that if the Company shall default in the payment of interest due
on such Interest Payment Date such defaulted interest shall be paid to the
person in whose name this bond is registered on the Record Date for the
Interest Payment Date fixed by the Company for the payment of such defaulted
interest, provided
   10

                                       7

that in no case shall such Record Date be less than ten days after notice
thereof shall have been mailed to all registered holders of bonds of this
series.  The term "Record Date" shall mean the close of business on January 15
next preceding a February 1 Interest Payment Date or July 15 next preceding an
August 1 Interest Payment Date, as the case may be.

       This bond is one, of the series hereinafter specified, of the bonds of
the Company (herein called the "bonds") known as its "First Mortgage Bonds,"
issued and to be issued in one or more series under, and all equally and
ratably secured by, an Indenture of Mortgage and Deed of Trust dated as of
March 1, 1944, duly executed by the Company to City Bank Farmers Trust Company
(Citibank, N.A., successor trustee, herein called the "Trustee") and Ralph E.
Morton (Robert T. Kirchner, successor Individual Trustee), Trustees, as
restated in Part II of the Twenty-ninth Supplemental Indenture dated as of
July 15, 1989, which became effective on April 1, 1994, to which Indenture and
all indentures supplemental thereto executed on and after July 15, 1989
reference is hereby made for a description of the property mortgaged and
pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the terms and conditions upon
which the bonds are, and are to be, issued and secured, and the rights of the
holders of the bonds and of the Trustees in respect of such security (which
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto, including the Thirty-third
Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 1, 1995, are hereinafter collectively
called the Indenture).  As provided in said Indenture, the 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
therein provided; and this bond is one of a series entitled "First Mortgage
Bonds," designated "Secured Medium-Term Notes, Series B," herein called Secured
Medium-Term Notes, Series B, created by the Thirty-third Supplemental Indenture
dated as of May 1, 1995 as provided for in said Indenture.

       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/or the
rights of the holders of the Bonds of the Thirtieth Series and/or the terms and
provisions of the Indenture may be modified or altered by such affirmative vote
or votes of the holders of the bonds then outstanding as are specified in the
Indenture.

       The bonds of this series are subject to redemption at the option of the
Company on any date on and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, specified
above (any date fixed for redemption shall hereinafter be called a "Redemption
Date").  If no Initial Redemption Date is set forth above, this bond may not be
redeemed at the option of the Company prior to the Maturity Date specified
above.  On and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, this bond may be
redeemed at any time in whole or from time to time in part at the option of the
Company at the applicable Redemption Price (as defined below) together with
interest accrued and unpaid hereon to such Redemption Date.  In the event of
redemption of this bond in part only, a new bond or bonds for the unredeemed
portion hereof will be issued to the holder hereof upon the cancellation
hereof.

       If this bond is redeemable in the foregoing manner at the option of the
Company, the Redemption Price shall initially be the Initial Redemption
Percentage specified above of the principal amount of this bond to be redeemed
and shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the
Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, specified above of the
principal amount to be redeemed until the Redemption Price is 100% of such
principal amount.

       If a Limitation Date is specified above, this bond shall not be redeemed
at the option of the Company prior to such Limitation Date, through a
refunding, directly or indirectly, by or in anticipation of the incurring of
any debt which has an effective interest cost to the Company (as defined in the
Thirty-Third Supplemental Indenture) of less than the effective interest cost
of this bond.

       [This bond will be subject to repayment at the option of the holder
hereof on the Repayment Date(s) and at the Repayment Price(s) (expressed as a
percentage of the principal amount hereof), if any, specified above.  If no
Repayment Dates are set forth above, this bond may not be so repaid prior to
the Maturity Date.  On each Repayment Date, if any, this bond shall be
repayable in whole or in part at the option of the holder hereof at the
applicable Repayment Price set forth above, together with interest accrued and
unpaid hereon to such Repayment Date.  For this bond to be repaid in whole or
in part at the option of the holder hereof, this bond must be received with the
form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" below duly completed, by the Trustee
at its corporate trust office not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to a
Repayment Date.  Exercise of such repayment option shall be irrevocable.  Such
option may be exercised by the holder for less than the principal amount
provided that the principal amount remaining outstanding after repayment is at
least $1,000 or any amount that is a multiple of $1,000, or such other minimum
denomination specified above.]

       Notice of any redemption of this bond to be redeemed at the option of
the Company (which notice may be made subject to receipt of the redemption
monies by the Trustee before the date fixed for redemption) shall be given by
mail at least thirty days prior to the redemption date, subject to the
conditions set forth as more fully provided in said Indenture and in said
Thirty-third Supplemental Indenture.

       In the event that any bond shall not be presented for payment when all
or a portion of the principal thereof becomes due, either at maturity or
otherwise or at the date fixed for the redemption thereof, and the Company
shall have on deposit with the Trustee in trust for the purpose, on the date
when such payment is so due, funds sufficient to pay such principal amount of
such bond (and premium, if any), together with all interest due thereon to the
Maturity Date of such bond or to the date fixed for the redemption thereof [or
the date of repurchase], for the use and benefit of the registered owner
thereof, then all liability of the Company to the registered owner of said bond
for the payment of such principal amount thereof and interest thereon (and
premium, if any), shall forthwith cease, determine and be completely discharged
and such registered owner shall no longer be entitled to any lien or benefit of
said Indenture with respect to such principal amount.

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

       This bond is transferable by the registered owner hereof in person, or
by an attorney duly authorized in writing, at the corporate trust office of the
Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, upon
surrender and cancellation of this bond, and upon any such transfer a new
registered bond or bonds of the same series for the same aggregate principal
amount, interest rate or rates, issue date, maturity date and redemption
provisions, if any, will be issued to the transferee or transferees in exchange
herefor; and bonds of this series may, at the option of the registered owners
and upon surrender at said office, be exchanged for registered bonds of this
series of the same aggregate principal amount, interest rate or rates, issue
date, maturity date, and redemption provisions, if any, in larger or smaller
authorized denominations, all without service charge (except for any stamp tax
or other governmental charge).

       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 said Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any
incorporator, or against any stockholder, director or officer, past, present or
future, of the Company, as such, or of any predecessor or successor
corporation, either directly or through the Company or any such predecessor or
successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule
of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all
such liability,

incorporators, stockholders, directors or officers being waived and released by
every owner hereof by the acceptance of this bond and as part of the
consideration for the issue hereof, and being likewise waived and released by
the terms of said Indenture.

       This bond shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose unless
and until the certificate heron shall have been executed by the Trustee or its
successor in trust under said Indenture.

       SECTION 4.  Bonds of Thirtieth Series shall be exchangeable, at the
option of the registered owners thereof and upon surrender thereof at the
corporate trust office of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of
New York, New York, for registered bonds of the same aggregate principal
amount, issue date, maturity date, interest rate or rates, and redemption
provisions, if any, but of different authorized denomination or denominations,
such exchanges to be made without service charge (except for any stamp tax or
other governmental charge).

       Every bond so surrendered shall be accompanied by a proper transfer
power duly executed by the registered owner or by duly authorized attorney
transferring such bond to the Company, and the signature to such transfer power
shall be guaranteed to the satisfaction of the Trustee.  All bonds so
surrendered shall be forthwith canceled and delivered to or upon the order of
the Company.  All bonds executed,
   17

                                       14

authenticated and delivered in exchange for bonds so surrendered shall be valid
obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt as the bonds surrendered,
and shall be secured by the same lien and be entitled to the same benefits and
protection as the bonds in exchange for which they are executed, authenticated
and delivered.

       The Company shall not be required to make any such exchange or any
registration of transfer (1) during a period of fifteen days next preceding any
interest payment date, but only if there is an existing default in the payment
of interest on the Bonds of Thirtieth Series or (2) after the bond so presented
for exchange or registration of transfer, or any portion thereof, has been
called for redemption and notice thereof given to the registered owner.

       SECTION 5.  Pending the preparation of definitive Bonds of Thirtieth
Series the Company may from time to time execute, and upon its written order,
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of such definitive bonds
and subject to the same provisions, limitations and conditions, one or more
temporary bonds, in registered form, of any denomination specified in the
written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery thereof, and
with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be determined by the
Board of Directors of the Company.  Such temporary bonds shall be substantially
of the tenor of the bonds to be issued as hereinbefore recited, but such
temporary bonds may, in lieu of the statement of the specific redemption prices
required to be set forth in Bonds of Thirtieth Series in definitive form,
include a reference to this Thirty-third Supplemental Indenture for a statement
of such redemption prices.

       If any such temporary Bonds of Thirtieth Series shall at any time be so
authenticated and delivered in lieu of definitive bonds, the Company shall upon
request at its own expense prepare, execute and deliver to the Trustee and
thereupon, upon the presentation and surrender of temporary bonds, the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, without charge to the
holder, definitive bonds of the same series, interest rate or rates, issue
date, maturity date, redemption provision, if any, and for the same principal
sum in the aggregate as the temporary bonds surrendered.  All temporary bonds
so surrendered shall be forthwith canceled by the Trustee and delivered to or
upon the order of the Company.  Until exchanged for definitive bonds the
temporary bonds shall in all respects be entitled to the lien and security of
the Indenture and all supplemental indentures.

                                   ARTICLE II
                       ISSUE OF BONDS OF THIRTIETH SERIES
