director to which he or she is not entitled; (2)&nbsp;the intentional infliction of harm on the

actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought
by third parties, if such directors or officers acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. In a
derivative action, <I>i.e.</I>, one by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification may be made for
expenses actually and reasonably incurred by directors and officers in connection with the defense
or settlement of an action or suit, but only with respect to a matter as to which they have acted

interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification will be made if such person will have
been found liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the

liability.

actual and reasonable expenses, including attorney&#146;s fees, incurred by him or her in connection
with the action, suit or proceeding, or proceeding brought to enforce this mandatory
indemnification.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
(a)
Indemnification
. The DTE Energy Company Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation
provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by the Michigan Business Corporation Act (the "MBCA")
or any other applicable law, no director of DTE Energy Company ("DTE Energy") shall be personally
liable to DTE Energy or its shareholders for or with respect to any acts or omissions in the
performance of his or her duties as a director of DTE Energy.
DTE Energy's articles of incorporation further state that each person who is or was or had agreed
to become a director or officer of DTE Energy, or each such person who is or was serving or who had
agreed to serve at the request of DTE Energy's board of directors as an employee or agent of DTE or
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
or other enterprise (including the heirs, executors, administrators or estate of such person),
shall be indemnified by DTE Energy to the fullest extent permitted by the MBCA or by any other
applicable law.
DTE Energy's articles of incorporation further state that DTE Energy may enter into one or more
agreements with any person, which agreements provide for indemnification greater or different than
that provided in the articles of incorporation.
Section 209(c) of the MBCA permits a corporation to eliminate or limit a director's liability to
the corporation or its shareholders for money damages for any action taken or any failure to take
action as a director, except liability for (1) the amount of financial benefit received by a
director to which he or she is not entitled; (2) the intentional infliction of harm on the
corporation or the shareholders; (3) a violation of Section 551 of the MBCA, dealing with unlawful
distributions; or (4) for an intentional criminal act.
Sections 561 and 562 of the MBCA permit a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought
by third parties, if such directors or officers acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. In a
derivative action,
i.e.
, one by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification may be made for
expenses actually and reasonably incurred by directors and officers in connection with the defense
or settlement of an action or suit, but only with respect to a matter as to which they have acted
in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification will be made if such person will have
been found liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the
action or suit was brought will determine upon application that the defendant officers or directors
are fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication of
liability.
Section 563 of the MBCA provides that a director or officer who has been successful on the merits
or otherwise in defense of an action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 561 and 562, or in
defense of a claim, issue or matter in the action, suit, or proceeding
shall
be indemnified against
actual and reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred by him or her in connection
with the action, suit or proceeding, or proceeding brought to enforce this mandatory
indemnification.

(b)
Insurance
. DTE Energy (with respect to indemnification liability) and its directors and
officers (in their capacities as such) are insured against liability for wrongful acts (to the
extent defined) under seven insurance policies providing aggregate coverage in the amount of $165
million.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(1)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(A)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by
Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any
facts or events arising after the
effective date of this Registration
Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in this
Registration Statement;
(iii)
To include any material information
with respect to the plan of distribution
not previously disclosed in this
Registration Statement or any material
change to such information in this
Registration Statement;
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs
(1)(A)(i) and (1)(A)(ii) of this Item 9
do not apply if the information required
to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed with
or furnished to the Commission by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement.
(B)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering
thereof.
(C)
To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(2)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering
thereof.
(3)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in
Table of Contents
the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit
to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question
whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
