ACCOUNTING SERVICES RIDER

DTE Energy Corporate Services, LLC and DTE Energy Investment Committee (collectively, the “Customer”), and J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“J.P. Morgan”) wish J.P.

1.    Services Provided.
(a)    J.P. Morgan will provide the accounting services set forth in Schedule D-1 to this Rider. J.P. Morgan shall be acting solely as agent for Customer in providing those services and shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary with respect to Customer, any Fund, or any investor or participant in any Fund with respect to those services, even if J.P. Morgan or one of its affiliates separately acts in a fiduciary capacity with respect to such Fund..
(b)    J.P. Morgan will also keep records relating to the services provided hereunder in such form and manner as J.P. Morgan may deem appropriate or advisable.

2.    Fees and Expenses.
Customer will pay J.P. Morgan for its services hereunder the fees set forth in Schedule D-2 to this Rider or such other amounts as may be agreed upon in writing from time to time, together with J.P. Morgan's reasonable out‑of‑pocket or incidental expenses, including, but not limited to, legal fees. Customer authorizes J.P. Morgan to charge the Trust Fund, for any such fees or expenses set forth in Schedule D-2 or otherwise agreed to in writing by Customer. J.P.

(a)    J.P. Morgan shall determine the net value of the assets and liabilities of a Fund (including securities out on a loan and excluding collateral held therefor) in accordance with the valuation rules set forth in Schedule D-3 to this Rider (the "Valuation Rules") and such other procedures as J.P. Morgan and Customer may establish from time to time ("Additional Procedures"). In this regard, J.P. Morgan may propose changes or additions to the Additional Procedures by notice to Customer in advance of the effective date of the proposed changes or additions, and Customer shall be deemed to have agreed to such changes or additions unless it sends notice objecting thereto within ten days after the date of such notice.
(b)    For Funds that maintain a unit value, the Fund's unit value shall be the result obtained by dividing the net value of the Fund's assets and liabilities by the number of existing units of the Fund. In determining unit value, fractions will be taken to two or four decimal places, as agreed upon with Customer. Unit value shall be determined as of each valuation date before taking into account additions to and withdrawals from the Funds occurring as of such valuation date. At the direction of the Customer or in the case of an ERISA plan, the participant recordkeeper (the "Recordkeeper"), J.P. Morgan may make a uniform change on any Valuation Day (as defined in Schedule D-3 to this Rider) in the value of all outstanding units of a Fund, either by creating a larger number of smaller units or a smaller number of larger units pro rata across all unit holders.

DM3\2598412.13 E1412/00145



for a loss or expense solely caused by or resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on J.P. Morgan's part in the performance of its duties or from reckless disregard by J.P. Morgan of its obligations and duties under this Rider. In no event shall J.P. Morgan be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if J.P. Morgan has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. Furthermore, in the event of any error or omission in connection with the calculation of the net asset value of any Fund, J.P. Morgan's liability and responsibility shall be subject to the materiality standards set forth in Schedule D-4 to this Rider.
(b)    Customer will indemnify the Indemnified Persons against, and hold them harmless from, any Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of them in connection with or arising out of J.P. Morgan's performance under this Rider, provided the Indemnified Persons have not acted with gross negligence or engaged in fraud or willful misconduct in connection with the Liabilities in question.

Morgan shall be entitled to rely on, and act in accordance with, any oral or written instructions, notices or other communications, including electronic transmissions, from Customer and its officers and directors, investors, investment managers, agents and other service providers which J.P. Morgan reasonably believes to be genuine and authorized, and the Indemnified Persons shall be indemnified by Customer for any Liabilities caused by such reliance. J.P. Morgan also shall be entitled to consult with and rely on the advice and opinions of outside legal counsel retained by J.P. Morgan, as necessary or appropriate.

(a)    General Rules

(iv)    Units in Group Trusts shall be reported at the value stated by the trustee of the Group Trust;

(vi)    Other Securities shall be reported at prices certified by the applicable investment manager or at the price provided by a vendor or appraiser selected by the investment manager, or the Customer.
(b)    J.P.

(c)    The Customer or the applicable investment manager shall be responsible for assessing whether the prices reported by J.P. Morgan reflect the fair market value or fair value of the applicable asset at the time as of which J.P. Morgan reports the value of the account(s). J.P. Morgan shall have no obligation to make a fair value adjustment of any price received by it, although it will incorporate into its reports any fair value adjustment that the Customer or an investment manager may provide Instructions for, to the extent that it is practicable for J.P. Morgan to do so from an operational perspective. J.P. Morgan shall be fully protected in relying upon the prices reported in accordance with this Schedule D-3 to Accounting Services Rider for all purposes under this Agreement, as well as any requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board or Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
(d)    The Customer acknowledges that reported prices of securities (particularly values of OTC Derivative Contracts and other assets lacking a readily available price) are indicative values only and do not indicate the actual terms at which the relevant asset or liability could be sold or unwound.
(e)    In cases where the Customer selects J.P. Morgan or one of its affiliates as the vendor of prices of OTC Derivative Contracts, J.P. Morgan’s responsibility for the errors or omissions of such vendor shall be as set forth in a separate OTC Derivative Contract pricing agreement with the Customer.

Morgan may suspend the valuation of a Fund in the event the New York Stock Exchange, or any other exchange on which the financial assets of a Fund trade, is closed, or during periods when trading on any such exchange is restricted or an emergency or any other unusual circumstances exist which make the disposition or valuation of financial assets owned by a Fund impracticable.

SCHEDULE D-4
NET ASSET VALUE ERROR CORRECTION POLICY & PROCEDURES
Definitions
Terms defined in the Agreement to which this Schedule D-4 to Accounting Services Rider is attached shall have the same meaning herein as in the Trust Agreement.
“Basis Point” or “bps” means 0.0001 or 0.01% of net assets.
“Fund” shall mean those accounts maintained under the Trust Agreement with respect to which the Customer wishes J.P. Morgan to provide periodic NAV calculations.
A “Fund Benefit” means a situation where a Fund has either paid insufficient redemption proceeds as a result of an understatement of NAV or received excessive purchase proceeds as a result of an overstatement of NAV. When a Fund Benefit occurs, the unit holders effecting transactions suffer a corresponding loss.
A “Fund Loss” means a situation where a Fund has either paid excessive redemption proceeds as a result of an overstatement of the NAV, or received insufficient purchase proceeds, as a result of an understatement of the NAV. When a Fund Loss occurs, the unit holders effecting transactions receive a corresponding benefit (a “Unitholder Benefit”).
“NAV” shall mean the net value of a Fund’s assets and liabilities.
“NAV Error” means one or more errors in the computation of a Fund’s NAV which, when considered cumulatively, results in a difference between the originally computed NAV and the corrected NAV of at least $0.010 per unit. This computation is based upon the actual difference and is not based upon rounding of the NAV to the nearest cent per share. Where a Fund incurs instrument-driven portfolio liabilities (e.g., short selling) the absolute value of all instruments in the Fund shall be used for purposes of determining if the error equals or exceeds 10 Basis Points.
“NAV Error Period” means the period comprising those days during which an NAV Error existed.
“Net Fund Loss (Benefit) Amount” means an amount equal to the difference between (i) the aggregate amount of Fund Losses less (ii) the aggregate amount of Fund Benefits arising out of a given NAV Error. This amount shall be a “Net Fund Loss Amount” when a positive number and a “Net Fund Benefit Amount” when a negative number.
“Per Unit NAV” shall mean the result obtained by dividing a Fund’s NAV by the number of existing units of the Fund. In determining unit value, fractions will be taken to two or four decimal places, as agreed upon with the Customer. Unit value shall be determined as of each valuation date before taking into account additions to and withdrawals from the Funds occurring as of such valuation date.
“Per Unit NAV Error” is the difference between the originally computed per unit NAV, and the amount that would have been computed had the errors not occurred.
“Responsible Person” means a person who, by virtue of negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct, caused or contributed to a NAV Error.
General Principles
a.The process described in this Schedule D-4 shall be a comprehensive analysis encompassing all known errors. If there is a subsequent discovery of an error which occurs during the same period as another NAV Error that has previously been corrected in the manner described herein, the subsequently discovered error will be analyzed in isolation without taking into consideration the previously corrected errors.


Accounting Services Rider – February 2011    Page 7
DM3\2598412.13 E1412/00145


b.The Customer shall not be liable for any Net Fund Loss Amount in the absence of J.P. Morgan’s negligence. J.P. Morgan shall not be liable for (i) values provided to J.P. Morgan by any pricing service or vendor, (ii) values stated by the trustee of any group trust (other than a group trust of which J.P. Morgan is the trustee), (iii) the net asset value or other unit or share value as announced by any limited partnership, limited liability company, investment company, or other fund or its operator, (iv) any redemption fees, surrender charges or similar fees or charges imposed on any investment held by the Fund; or (v) the value of any securities or other property held in any Investment Alternative provided by the investment manager of such Investment Alternative
Correction procedures for Non-Unitized Master Trust Accounts (Defined Benefit and Non-Participant-Directed Defined Contribution Plan Accounts)
a.    In the event of an NAV Error, J.P. Morgan shall calculate the basis point impact of the NAV Error and the Net Fund Benefit or Net Fund Loss Amount for each affected period.
b.    If the Basis Point impact of the NAV Error exceeds 50 bps, J.P. Morgan will process appropriate adjustments to each Plan participating in the Fund, if applicable.
c.    All corrections shall be made by adjusting each participating Plan’s respective interests.
d.    Any Net Fund Loss Amount remaining following the foregoing steps in this Section 4 shall be funded by J.P. Morgan , only to the extent that such Net Fund Loss Amount is attributable to J.P. Morgan’s negligence.
Correction Procedures for Unitized Accounts (Participant-Directed Defined Contribution Plan Accounts)
a.    In the event of an NAV Error, J.P. Morgan shall calculate the Basis Point impact of the NAV Error and, if the Basis Point Impact of the NAV Error exceeds 10 bps, the Net Fund Loss Amount or Net Fund Benefit Amount.
b.    If the Basis Point of the NAV Error impact does not exceed 10 bps of the Fund’s NAV, no action need be taken
c.    Subject to subsection 5(e) of this Schedule, if the Basis Point impact is 10 bps or more but does not exceed 50 bps of the Fund’s NAV, J.P. Morgan shall reimburse the Fund for the Net Fund Loss Amount to the extent that the NAV Error is attributable to J.P. Morgan’s negligence. The Customer shall be responsible for obtaining reimbursement of the Net Fund Loss Amount to the extent attributable to any other Person (e.g., the adviser, administrator or record keeper) responsible for the NAV Error to the extent required of such party pursuant to its contractual arrangement with the Customer. If the Fund experienced a Net Fund Benefit Amount, no action need be taken; however, the Net Fund Benefit Amount will not be carried forward to any analysis performed in the future for other NAV Errors that may arise.
d.    If the Basis Point impact exceeds 50 basis points (0.50%), the Customer shall cause the Plan’s Recordkeeper to reprocess participant purchases and redemptions in the affected Fund to the extent set forth in Subsection 5(f) of this Schedule and take the steps specified in Subsection 5(f) of this Schedule to recoup any excess redemption payments in order to reduce the aggregate amounts of the Net Fund Losses and Net Fund Benefits arising out of the NAV Error. J.P. Morgan shall then reimburse the Fund for the reprocessing and any notification costs incurred under Subsection 5(f) of this Schedule and for any remaining Net Fund Loss Amount to the extent that the NAV Error is attributable to J.P. Morgan’s negligence. The Customer shall be responsible for obtaining reimbursement of those amounts from any other Person (e.g., the adviser, administrator or Recordkeeper) responsible for the NAV Error to the extent required of such party pursuant to its contractual arrangement with the Customer
e.    If the Basis Point impact is 10 bps or more but less than 50 bps, and either J.P. Morgan or the Customer determines that the Net Fund Loss would be reduced (after taking into account the reprocessing and notification costs) if the processes set forth in Subsections 5(d) and (f) of this Schedule were followed

would be less than the Net Loss Amount calculated under Subsection 5(c) of this Schedule, the parties shall follow the processes set forth in Subsection 5(d) and 5(f) of this Schedule instead of the process set forth in Subsection 5(c).
f.    Participant-level adjustments shall be made as follows:    
i.    In cases where a NAV Error has occurred, the Customer, upon J.P. Morgan’s request, will instruct the Plan’s Recordkeeper to reprocess transactions and to adjust each participant’s units in any Fund or investment option under the Plan upwards or downwards accordingly, at the expense of the responsible person or persons. If the Plan’s Recordkeeper does not agree to reprocess transactions resulting from a NAV Error for which J.P. Morgan is a responsible person, J.P. Morgan’s liability will be limited to the amount it would have been liable for had the reprocessing occurred.
ii.    If there has been a complete distribution or 100% withdrawal of a participant’s entire interest in the Plan which is affected by an NAV Error in one of the Funds, an understated Per Unit NAV will cause a distribution underpayment while an overstated Per Unit NAV will cause a distribution overpayment. If the participant account loss equals or exceeds $25 the Recordkeeper will send a notification to the participant (or other distributee) and the Fund will distribute the amount of the original underpayment on behalf of the Plan. If the participant account benefit equals or exceeds $25, the Customer will make good faith efforts to recover the overpayment from the participant (or other distributee).

Schedule E    
Amendment and Restatement of the Master Trust Agreement for the DTE Energy Company Master Plan Trust





Cash Allocation and Rebalancing Services (J. P. MORGAN
CARSsm) Rider

Between

DTE ENERGY CORPORATE SERVICES, LLC,

DTE ENERGY INVESTMENT COMMITTEE

and

JP MORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A.









This Rider supplements the Amendment and Restatement of the Master Trust Agreement for the DTE Energy Company Master Plan Trust, dated October 15, 2010 (the “Agreement”) between DTE Energy Corporate Services, LLC and DTE Energy Investment Committee (collectively, the “Customer”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ( “J.P. Morgan”).

1.    Definitions
(a)    As used in this Rider the following terms shall be defined as follows:
“Absolute Dollar Amounts” means Customer-specified dollar amounts with respect to trades made in connection with Minimum/Maximum Trade Amounts.
“Annual Cap” means an amount equal to the annual fees payable to J.P. Morgan for the Services.
“Fund” means an investment alternative under the Plan for which J.P. Morgan is retained by the Customer to provide the Services.
“Underlying Fund” means any of the investments of which a Fund is comprised, whether comprised of interests in a mutual fund, group trust, or other collective investment vehicle or a separately managed account.
“Guidelines” means the cash allocation and/or rebalancing guidelines set forth on Schedule E-1 with respect to a Fund. Such guidelines may consist of Target Percentages, Minimum/Maximum Trade Amounts, Absolute Dollar Amounts, or other parameters and Tolerances, as hereinafter defined, with respect thereto, as directed by the Company to J.P. Morgan, which direction may be revised by the Company from time to time upon advance written notice to J.P. Morgan.
“Minimum/Maximum Trade Amounts” means Customer-specified dollar amounts added to any underlying investment component within a participant directed fund to dictate the thresholds for daily trades. When a Minimum/Maximum Trade Amount is applied, it will override the trade amount created in Cash Allocation and Rebalancing Services and the Minimum/Maximum Trade Amount will instead apply to any trade. A minimum trade is typically used for new investment options in order to prevent small dollar trades. The maximum trade is typically used to prevent very large trades being placed and the Fund incurring additional trade costs.
“Services” means the allocation and rebalancing services to be provided under this Rider, as more particularly described in Sections 2 and 3 below.
“Target Percentage” means the Customer-specified target percentage for an underlying investment within a participant directed fund. The total Target Percentage for each participant directed fund must total 100%.
“Tolerance” means the Customer-specified permissible parameters of a Fund’s holdings in the applicable Underlying Fund, as set forth on Schedule E-1 to this Rider (as amended from time to time). A Tolerance is a percentage amount that is added by the Customer to the Target Percentage for an underlying component in a







participant directed fund. The Tolerance creates a band around a Target Percentage and expands the threshold for trading before a rebalance occurs.
(b)
Other capitalized terms used in this Rider shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.
2.    Allocation Service [Check if applicable x and initial ___]
(a)
In cases where cash is credited to a Fund, J.P. Morgan shall allocate that cash to that Fund’s Underlying Funds in accordance with the Guidelines applicable to cash allocations. J.P. Morgan shall execute, in accordance with the Guidelines, purchase or redemption orders in the proper amount with that Underlying Fund or in the case of an Underlying Fund which is a separately managed account, credit cash to that account, in the applicable amount.
(b)
In cases where J.P. Morgan is given Instructions to redeem investments in a Fund, J.P. Morgan shall allocate the amount of cash required to be raised among the Fund’s Underlying Funds in accordance with the Guidelines applicable to cash allocations. J.P. Morgan shall execute, in accordance with the Guidelines, purchase or redemption orders in the proper amount with that Underlying Fund, or in the case of a separately managed account, notify the Investment Manager of the amount of cash needed, in the applicable amount.
3.    Rebalancing Service
(a)
On or about the days set forth on Schedule E-1 with respect to a given Fund, J.P. Morgan shall calculate the percentage and/or dollar amount of the Fund’s assets which are invested in each underlying Fund. In the event that the portion of the Fund’s assets invested in any Underlying Fund is outside the Tolerance for that Underlying Fund, J.P. Morgan shall execute purchase or redemption orders in the proper amount with that Underlying Fund (or in the case of an Underlying Fund that is a separately managed account arrange for the deposit of cash in or withdrawal of cash from that account) in such an amount as is necessary to make the Fund’s investment in that Underlying Fund consistent with the rebalancing parameters set forth in the Guidelines. In no event shall J.P. Morgan be required to settle any investment in an Underlying Fund unless the Fund has sufficient cash on hand to fund the settlement.
(b)
In carrying out the purchase and redemptions transactions required under Section 3(a), J.P. Morgan shall arrange for the investment of cash proceeds of redemptions of an Underlying Fund that is in excess of its Tolerance, and shall redeem interests in other Underlying Funds as needed to fund a purchase with regard to an Underlying Fund that is below its Tolerance, provided that:
(i)
the proportion of the cash to be purchased or redeemed that would ordinarily be allocated to an Underlying Fund that is out of Tolerance shall be reallocated to the remaining Underlying Funds in accordance with the parameters set forth in the Guidelines for rebalancing; and







(ii)
to the extent that the amount of cash to be invested in or redeemed from any of the remaining Underlying Funds would, if included in the Underlying Fund on the date of the investment cause that Underlying Fund to be out of Tolerance, that amount of cash shall be allocated to the other Underlying Funds in accordance with the parameters set forth in the Guidelines for rebalancing;.
4.    Compliance with Underlying Fund Rules
To the extent applicable to the Underlying Funds, the Customer shall (i) be responsible for compliance by the trust and plan participants with Rule 22c-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, (ii) cause any recordkeeper engaged by the Customer to comply with Rule 22c-2, and (iii) comply or cause any such recordkeeper or plan participant, as applicable, to comply with any requests and/or requirements of any investment company relating to Rule 22c-2 or compliance with any provision of the investment company’s prospectus or statement of additional information. The foregoing obligations shall also apply with respect to an Underlying Fund which is not an investment company but which applies rules similar to those of Rule 22c-2.
5.    Non-Fiduciary Nature of Service
The Customer acknowledges and agrees that J.P. Morgan: does not exercise any discretion or any authority or control in performing the Services; does not have any authority or discretion to change the Target or Tolerance assigned to any Underlying Fund; and shall be acting solely as agent for the Customer in providing the Services, and that the Services are not intended to be fiduciary in nature, even if J.P. Morgan separately acts in a fiduciary capacity with respect to the Plans.
6.    Liability
(a)
Except to the extent required by applicable law, including but not limited to ERISA, the Customer agrees that J.P. Morgan’s aggregate liability (either in tort, for breach of contract or otherwise) for damages or losses incurred with regard to the Services during any calendar year shall not exceed an amount equal to the Annual Cap.
(b)
Except to the extent required by applicable law, including but not limited to ERISA, no action (either in tort, for breach of contract or otherwise) arising out of any error or omission in performing the Services may be brought against J.P. Morgan more than one year after the cause of action has accrued.
7.    Compensation
The Customer shall pay J.P. Morgan for performing the Services as agreed in the Fee Schedule dated September 30, 2013, as such Fee Schedule may be amended from time to time.
