TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain
Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On December 6, 2007, DTE Energy Company (the “Company”) entered into new Indemnification Agreements
(“Indemnification Agreements”) with Anthony F. Earley, Jr., Gerard M. Anderson, Robert J. Buckler
and David E. Meador. Each of the agreements is effective as of December 6, 2007, and replaces
previous indemnification agreements between the Company and such named officers.
The Indemnification Agreements were revised primarily to reflect certain changes in the Michigan
Business Corporation Act and to clarify the circumstances under which the named officers are
entitled to seek indemnification. In addition, the Indemnification Agreements were amended, among
other things, to include customary contribution, non-disclosure, insurance and arbitration
provisions.
The description set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the
form of Indemnification Agreement which is attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 10.1 and is
hereby incorporated by reference.
