PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

THE COMPANY

Public Service Company of New Mexico (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of New Mexico in 1917 and has its principal offices at Alvarado Square, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87158 (telephone number 505-241-2700). The Company is a public utility primarily engaged in the generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity and in the transmission, distribution and sale of natural gas within the State of New Mexico. The Company is also engaged in the operation and management of the City of Santa Fe's water system and is pursuing new business activities in the energy and utility related services area (see PART II, ITEM 7. -- "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- OVERVIEW -- Competitive Strategy").

The total population of the area served by one or more of the Company's utility services is estimated to be approximately 1.3 million, of which 53% live in the greater Albuquerque area.

For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company derived 73.1% of its operating revenues from electric operations, 25.7% from natural gas operations and 1.2% from energy services operations.

As of December 31, 1996, the Company employed 2,739 persons.

Financial information relating to amounts of revenue and operating income and identifiable assets attributable to the Company's industry segments is contained in note 13 of the notes to consolidated financial statements.

ELECTRIC OPERATIONS

Service Area and Customers

The Company's electric operations serve four principal markets. Sales to retail customers and sales to firm-requirements wholesale customers, sometimes referred to collectively as "system" sales, comprise two of these markets. The third market consists of other contracted sales to utilities for which the Company commits to deliver a specified amount of capacity (measured in MW) or energy (measured in MWh) over a given period of time. The fourth market consists of economy energy sales made on an hourly basis to utilities at fluctuating, spot-market rates. Sales to the third and fourth markets are sometimes referred to collectively as "off-system" sales.

The Company provides retail electric service to a large area of north central New Mexico, including the cities of Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Rio Rancho, Las Vegas, Belen and Bernalillo. The Company also provides retail electric service to Deming in southwestern New Mexico and to Clayton in northeastern New Mexico. As of December 31, 1996, approximately 342,000 retail electric customers were served by the Company, the largest of which accounted for approximately 3.5% of the Company's total electric revenues for the year ended December 31, 1996.

The Company holds 22 long-term, non-exclusive franchise agreements for its electric retail operations, expiring between June 1997 and November 2028. The City of Albuquerque (the "City") franchise expired in early 1992. Customers in the area covered by the expired franchise represent approximately 43.0% of the Company's 1996 total electric operating revenues, and no other franchise area represents more than 6.6%. These franchises are agreements that provide the Company access to public rights-of-way for placement of the Company's electric

1

facilities. The Company remains obligated under state law to provide service to customers in the franchise area even in the absence of a franchise agreement.
(See PART II, ITEM 7. -- "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- OTHER ISSUES FACING THE COMPANY
- --ALBUQUERQUE FRANCHISE ISSUES".)

Power Sales

For the years 1992 through 1996, retail KWh sales have grown at a compound annual rate of approximately 4.6%. The Company's system and off-system sales (revenues and energy consumption) and system peak demands in summer and winter are shown in the following tables:

+ Due to the provision for the loss associated with the M-S-R contingent power purchase contract recognized in 1992, revenues from other contracted off-system sales and economy energy sales were reduced by a total of $7.3 million, $25.0 million and $20.5 million in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

During 1996 and 1995, the Company's sales in the off-system markets accounted for approximately 39.1% and 24.9%, respectively, of its total KWh sales and approximately 17.3% and 11.8% (before reduction of revenues from the M-S-R contingent power purchase contract, which were accounted for in the determination of the provision for loss recorded in 1992), respectively, of its total revenues from energy sales. During 1996, the Company's major off-system sale contracts in effect were with SDG&E and APPA.

The SDG&E contract requires SDG&E to purchase 100 MW from the Company through April 2001. On October 27, 1993, SDG&E filed a complaint with the FERC against the Company, alleging that certain charges under the 1985 power purchase agreement were unjust, unreasonable and unduly discriminatory. SDG&E requested that the FERC investigate the rates charged under the agreement. The relief, if granted, would reduce annual demand charges paid by SDG&E by up to $11 million per year from the date of the ruling through April 2001, and could result in a refund of up to approximately $14 million. The Company responded to the complaint on December 8, 1993, and SDG&E and the Company filed subsequent pleadings.

On March 18, 1996, SDG&E filed a second complaint with the FERC against the Company, again alleging that charges under the agreement were unjust, unreasonable and unduly discriminatory. SDG&E is again requesting that the FERC investigate charges under the agreement. The Company responded to the second complaint on April 26, 1996. The relief under the second complaint is similar to that requested under the first complaint. The refund period requested in the first complaint, if granted, would extend for a fifteen month period beginning December 26, 1993. The refund period requested under the second complaint would extend for a fifteen month period beginning May 17, 1996. The FERC has not issued a ruling on either the first or second complaint and has not indicated when or if either complaint will be considered. The Company believes that both complaints are without merit, and the Company intends to vigorously resist both complaints.

The APPA contract requires APPA to purchase varying amounts of power from the Company through May 2008 and allows APPA to make adjustments to the purchase amounts subject to certain notice provisions. APPA provided notice that it was invoking its option to reduce its power demand in 1997. This will result in a peak demand in 1997 of 89 MW.

The Company furnished firm-requirements wholesale power in New Mexico in 1996 to the cities of Farmington and Gallup, and TNP. The Company is committed to provide service to the City of Gallup through April 2003. Average monthly demands under the City of Gallup contract for 1996 were approximately 26 MW. TNP may adjust its annual demand between 15 MW and 40 MW with one year's notice and may terminate service with two years' notice. During 1996, TNP purchased 15 MW and gave notice that it will continue to purchase 15 MW in 1997. TNP has also provided notice of its intent to terminate service after 1998. No firm-requirements wholesale customer accounted for more than 1.3% of the Company's total electric operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 1996.

Sources of Power

As of December 31, 1996, the total net generation capacity of facilities owned or leased by the Company was 1,506 MW.

In addition, the Company has a power purchase contract with SPS for up to 200 MW, expiring in May 2011. The Company may reduce its purchases from SPS by 25 MW annually upon three years' notice. The Company provided such notice to reduce the purchase by 25 MW in 1999 and by an additional 25 MW in 2000. Also, the Company has 39 MW of contingent capacity obtained from El Paso under a transmission capacity for generation capacity trade arrangement that increases up to 70 MW from 1998 through 2003. In addition, the Company is interconnected with various utilities for economy interchanges and mutual assistance in emergencies.

The Company anticipates the need for approximately 100 to 200 MW of additional capacity in the 1998 through 2000 timeframe. To meet this need, on October 4, 1996, the Company entered into a long-term power purchase contract with the Cobisa-Person Limited Partnership ("PLP") to purchase approximately 100 MW of unit contingent peaking capacity from a gas turbine generating unit for a period of 20 years, with an option to renew for an additional five years. The gas turbine generating unit will be constructed and operated by PLP and will be located on the Company's retired Person Generating Station site located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The site for the generating unit was chosen, in part, to provide needed benefits to the Company's constrained transmission system. Depending on the regulatory timing of NMPUC and FERC approvals and the securing of necessary permits, construction could start in August 1998 with commercial operation beginning by May 1999. The operational date was chosen to satisfy both resource and transmission needs for the Company's jurisdictional load. During October 1996, the Company filed a request for approval from the NMPUC and PLP filed its application for requisite state commission determinations from the NMPUC. These two applications were consolidated by the NMPUC. In December 1996, the NMPUC established a procedural schedule for the consolidated applications. The Company and PLP have requested a final order from the NMPUC by July 31, 1997. Thereafter, certain actions from the FERC will be required, including approval of PLP's status as an "exempt wholesale generator" under Section 32 of the Public Utility Holding Company Act.

In addition to the long-term power purchase contract with PLP, the Company is pursuing other options to ensure its additional capacity needs are met.

Fuel and Water Supply

The percentages of the Company's generation of electricity (on the basis of KWh) fueled by coal, nuclear fuel and gas and oil, and the average costs to the Company of those fuels (in cents per million BTU), during the past five years were as follows:

                            Coal                    Nuclear                    Gas and Oil

The estimated generation mix for 1997 is 70.4% coal, 28.9% nuclear and 0.7% gas and oil. Due to locally available natural gas and oil supplies, the utilization of locally available coal deposits and the generally abundant supply of nuclear fuel, the Company believes that adequate sources of fuel are available for its generating stations.

Coal

The coal requirements for SJGS are being supplied by SJCC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BHP, from certain Federal, state and private coal leases under a Coal Sales Agreement, pursuant to which SJCC will supply processed coal for operation of SJGS until 2017. BHP guaranteed the obligations of SJCC under the agreement, which contemplates the delivery of approximately 114 million tons of coal during its remaining term. Such amount would supply substantially all the requirements of SJGS through approximately 2017. The primary sources of coal are a mine adjacent to SJGS and a mine located approximately 25 miles northeast of

4

SJGS in the La Plata area of northwestern New Mexico. On September 1, 1995, the parties executed an amendment to the Coal Sales Agreement. The amendment provides for flexibility in coal sourcing. Mining operations are being shifted over time to the La Plata Mine and several newly introduced sources including expanded La Plata reserves and a new lease contiguous with the existing San Juan Mine. While the savings in fuel cost over the life of the contract are continuing to be developed, it is currently estimated that the Company will save approximately $200 million of coal fuel costs during the period 1997 through 2005. The average cost of fuel, including ash disposal and land reclamation costs, for SJGS for the years 1994, 1995 and 1996 was 172.1 cents, 184.6 cents and 167.0 cents, respectively, per million BTU ($33.62, $35.75 and $32.18 per ton, respectively). For other information related to coal requirements, see PART II, ITEM 7. -- "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- OTHER ISSUES FACING THE COMPANY -- COAL FUEL SUPPLY".

Four Corners is supplied with coal under a fuel agreement between the owners and BHP, under which BHP agreed to supply all the coal requirements for the life of the plant. BHP holds a long-term coal mining lease, with options for renewal, from the Navajo Nation and operates a surface mine adjacent to Four Corners with the coal supply expected to be sufficient to supply the units for their estimated useful lives. The average cost of fuel, including ash disposal and land reclamation costs, for the years 1994, 1995 and 1996 at Four Corners was 125.8 cents, 113.4 cents and 125.9 cents, respectively, per million BTU ($22.03, $20.04 and $22.90 per ton, respectively).

Natural Gas

The natural gas used as fuel for the Company's Albuquerque electric generating plant (Reeves Station) is delivered by PNMGS. (See "NATURAL GAS OPERATIONS".) In addition to rate changes under filed tariffs, the Company's cost of gas increases or decreases according to the average cost of the gas supply.

Nuclear Fuel

The fuel cycle for PVNGS is comprised of the following stages: (1) the mining and milling of uranium ore to produce uranium concentrates, (2) the conversion of uranium concentrates to uranium hexafluoride, (3) the enrichment of uranium hexafluoride, (4) the fabrication of fuel assemblies, (5) the utilization of fuel assemblies in reactors, and (6) the storage of spent fuel and the disposal thereof. The Company has made arrangements through contract flexibilities to obtain quantities of uranium concentrates anticipated to be sufficient to meet its share of uranium concentrates requirements through 2000. The Company's existing contracts and options could be utilized to meet 75% of such requirements in 2001 and 2002 and 40% of requirements from 2003 through 2007. The Company understands that other PVNGS participants have made arrangements for the uranium concentrate requirements through 2000. Their existing contracts and options could be utilized to meet 80% of requirements in 1998 and 1999 and 70% of requirements from 2000 through 2006. The PVNGS participants, including the Company, contracted for all conversion services required through 2000. The PVNGS participants, including the Company, also have an enrichment services contract with USEC which obligates USEC to furnish enrichment services required for the operation of the three PVNGS units over a term expiring in September 2002, with options to continue through September 2007.

Existing spent fuel storage facilities at PVNGS have sufficient capacity with certain modifications to store all fuel expected to be discharged from normal operation of all of the PVNGS units through at least the year 2005. Pursuant to the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as amended in 1987 (the "Waste Act"), DOE is obligated to accept and dispose of all spent nuclear fuel and other high-level radioactive wastes generated by all domestic power reactors. The NRC, pursuant to the Waste Act, also requires operators of nuclear power reactors to enter into spent fuel disposal contracts with DOE. APS, on its own behalf and on behalf of the other PVNGS participants, executed a spent fuel disposal contract with DOE. The Waste Act also obligates DOE to develop the

5

facilities necessary for the permanent disposal of all spent fuel generated and to be generated by domestic power reactors and to have the first such facility in operation by 1998 under prescribed procedures. The DOE has announced that it is not likely to have an operating permanent repository facility before 2015. In December 1996, DOE sent a letter to the contract holders including APS, advising that DOE will not be able to fulfill its contractual obligations to accept spent fuel by January 31, 1998. Because of the uncertainty as to when DOE will be able to begin spent fuel acceptance, the DOE is inviting the views of all contract holders on how the delay can best be accommodated. Under DOE's current criteria for shipping allocation rights, PVNGS's spent fuel shipments to the DOE permanent disposal facility would begin in approximately 2025. In addition, APS believes that on-site storage of spent fuel may be required beyond the life of the PVNGS Units. APS currently believes that alternative interim spent fuel storage methods are or will be available on-site or off-site for use by PVNGS to allow its continued operation beyond 2002 and to safely store spent fuel until DOE's scheduled shipments from PVNGS begin.

Currently, low-level radioactive waste is being shipped to the low level waste repository in Barnwell, South Carolina. In addition, a low-level waste facility was built in 1995 at the PVNGS site. This facility is being used and has the capability to store an amount of waste equivalent to 10 years of normal operation of PVNGS.

Water Supply

Water for Four Corners and SJGS is obtained from the San Juan River. (See
ITEM 3. -- "LEGAL PROCEEDINGS -- SAN JUAN RIVER ADJUDICATION".) BHP holds rights

to San Juan River water and has committed a portion of such rights to Four Corners through the life of the project. The Company and Tucson have a contract with the USBR ("USBR Contract") for consumption of 16,200 acre feet of water per year for SJGS, which contract expires in 2005, and in addition, the Company was granted the authority to consume 8,000 acre feet of water per year under a state permit that is held by BHP. The Company is of the opinion that sufficient water is under contract for SJGS until 2005.

On January 29, 1993, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposed a portion of the San Juan River as critical habitat for two fish species. This designation may impact uses of the river and its flood plains and will require certain analysis under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 of all significant Federal actions. Renewal of the SJGS water contract is considered a significant Federal action.

Due to extensive lead times required to renew the water rights contract, the Company formally initiated the renewal and extension process for requesting rights through the year 2025. The Company is actively conducting an environmental assessment with the USBR and a biological assessment with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. These studies are required by the Federal agencies before the existing water contract can be renewed. In June 1996, the Navajo Nation requested the USBR to withhold renewal of the USBR Contract due to water shortages of the Navajo Indian Irrigation Project. Other tribes in the Four Corners area have also voiced concern to the USBR about the renewal by the Company of the USBR Contract. The Company is currently involved in discussions with the Navajo Nation to resolve concerns about renewal of the USBR Contract. The Company is currently unable to predict the outcome of these matters but does not anticipate any material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operation.

Sewage effluent used for cooling purposes in the operation of the PVNGS units has been obtained under contracts with certain municipalities in the area. The contracted quantity of effluent exceeds the amount required for the three PVNGS units. The validity of these effluent contracts is the subject of litigation in state and Federal courts. (See ITEM 3. -- "LEGAL PROCEEDINGS -- PVNGS WATER SUPPLY LITIGATION".)

NATURAL GAS OPERATIONS

Service Area and Customers

The Company's gas operating division, PNMGS, distributes natural gas to most of the major communities in New Mexico, including Albuquerque and Santa Fe, serving approximately 401,000 customers as of December 31, 1996. The Albuquerque metropolitan area accounts for approximately 54.8% of the total sales-service customers. PNMGS holds long-term, non-exclusive franchises with varying expiration dates in all incorporated communities requiring franchise agreements. PNMGS' customer base includes both "sales-service" customers and "transportation-service" customers. Sales-service customers purchase natural gas and receive transportation and delivery services from PNMGS for which PNMGS receives both cost-of-gas and cost-of-service revenues. Cost-of-gas revenues collected from on-system sales-service customers are a recovery of the cost of purchased gas in accordance with NMPUC rules and regulations and, in that sense, do not affect the net earnings of the Company. Additionally, PNMGS makes occasional gas sales to off-system customers. Off-system sales deliveries generally occur at interstate pipeline interconnects with PNMGS' system. Transportation-service customers, who procure gas independently of PNMGS and contract with PNMGS for transportation and related services, provide PNMGS with cost-of-service revenues only. Transportation services are provided to gas marketers, producers and end users for delivery to locations throughout the PNMGS distribution systems, as well as for delivery to interstate pipelines. PNMGS provided gas transportation deliveries to approximately 1,050 gas marketers, producers and end users during 1996.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 1996, PNMGS had throughput of approximately 100.1 million decatherms, including sales of 53.1 million decatherms to both sales-service customers and off-system customers. No single "sales-service" customer accounted for more than 4.4% of PNMGS' therm sales in 1996. During 1996, approximately 47.0% of the PNMGS' total gas throughput was related to transportation gas deliveries. PNMGS' transportation rates are unbundled, and transportation customers only pay for the service they receive. PNMGS' total operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 1996, were approximately $227.3 million. Cost-of-gas revenues, received from sales-service and off-system customers, accounted for approximately 45.8% of PNMGS' total operating revenues. Since a major portion of PNMGS' load is related to heating, levels of therm sales are affected by the weather. Approximately 44.1% of PNMGS' total therm sales in 1996 occurred in the months of January, February, November and December.

Natural Gas Supply

During the late 1980's, there were significant changes in the natural gas industry brought about by Federal and state regulations which dramatically altered the way gas is bought, transported and sold nationwide. These changes required PNMGS to reform or terminate certain natural gas purchase contracts which required PNMGS to take gas in excess of demand. This process resulted in breach of contract claims from some producers. PNMGS resolved all of the producer litigation and reformed its supply portfolio so that it better matches the demands of PNMGS' sales-service customers. These reformations allow PNMGS to seek new sources of gas supplies through pipeline interconnects which have created a more flexible and reliable supply portfolio. PNMGS obtains its supply of natural gas primarily from sources within New Mexico pursuant to contracts with producers and marketers. These contracts are generally sufficient to meet PNMGS peak-day demand.

PNMGS serves certain cities which depend on EPNG or Transwestern Pipeline Company for transportation of gas supplies. Because these cities are not directly connected to PNMGS transmission facilities, gas transported by these companies is the sole supply source for those cities. Such transportation is regulated by FERC. As a result of FERC Order 636, PNMGS' options for transporting gas to such cities and other portions of its distribution system have increased.

RATES AND REGULATION

The Company is subject to the jurisdiction of the NMPUC with respect to its retail electric and gas rates, service, accounting, issuance of securities, construction of major new generation and transmission facilities and other matters. The FERC has jurisdiction over rates and other matters related to wholesale electric sales.

Proposed Rulemaking

On June 5, 1995, the NMPUC issued a Notice of Inquiry ("NOI") seeking comments on whether and how NMPUC Rule 450, which governs affiliate transactions, should be revised. On June 3, 1996, the NMPUC issued its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Order on the NOI proposing certain amendments to NMPUC Rule 450 and seeking comments and suggested language changes to its proposed amendments by August 5, 1996. The proposed amendments would, in effect, limit the Company's non-utility business ventures. The Company vigorously opposed these limitations and filed its comments and suggested language changes with the NMPUC. The Company contends that many of the proposed amendments are unwarranted or prohibited under the New Mexico Public Utility Act. To date, the NMPUC has not acted on the comments and suggested language changes it requested.

Fossil-Fueled Plant Decommissioning Costs

The Company's six owned or partially owned, in service and retired, fossil-fueled generating stations are expected to incur dismantling and reclamation costs as they are decommissioned. The Company's share of decommissioning costs for all of its fossil-fueled generating stations is projected to be approximately $145 million stated in 1996 dollars, including approximately $24.0 million (of which $13.7 million has already been expended) for Person, Prager and Santa Fe Stations which have been retired.

The Company is currently recovering estimated decommissioning costs for its in-service fossil-fueled generating facilities through rates charged to its NMPUC retail customers.

PGAC Continuation Filing

Retail gas rate schedules contain a PGAC which provides for timely recovery of the cost of gas purchased for resale to its sales-service customers. On April 20, 1993, PNMGS filed its application requesting authority to continue the use of its PGAC. An item included in this application was a request to recover reservation fees as a cost of gas through the PGAC. On October 26, 1995, the Hearing Examiner issued a Recommended Decision allowing, among other items, the continued use of the PGAC but recommended that reservation fees not be recoverable through the PGAC. PNMGS filed an exception to the portion of the Recommended Decision relating to reservation fees. PNMGS is awaiting final NMPUC approval. On February 13, 1997, the NMPUC denied recovery of these same reservation fees in the ongoing general rate proceeding (see PART II, ITEM 7. -- "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- OTHER ISSUES FACING THE COMPANY -- GAS RATE CASE"). On February 19, 1996, the NMPUC issued an order requiring PNMGS to file supplemental testimony regarding the volatile nature of its gas costs.

In a related proceeding, the NMPUC on September 18, 1995, issued a Notice of Inquiry seeking comments as to whether the NMPUC rule that governs the operation of PGACs should be amended. In November 1995, the Company joined with the NMPUC Staff and the AG in recommending that such rule be substantially rewritten. In October 1996, the NMPUC issued an order establishing a working group including the NMPUC staff, the AG and other New Mexico gas utilities to rewrite the rule. Several intervenors including New Mexico industrial end users and national gas marketing companies have been allowed to join the working group.

9

FPPCAC

The Company's firm-requirements wholesale customers have a FPPCAC which has an approximate 30-day time lag in implementation of the FPPCAC for billing purposes. The Company's FPPCAC for its firm-requirement wholesale customers had been at variance with the filed FERC tariffs. As a result, the Company filed a petition with FERC on October 28, 1993 to permit deviation from the filed FERC tariffs for the period of July 1985 through January 1993. The Company's filing indicated that the four firm-requirements wholesale customers benefitted during that time period relative to the energy costs they would have been billed under the application of the filed FERC tariffs. The four affected customers concur with the Company's position and have filed a certificate of concurrence with FERC. Discussions regarding the Company's filing with FERC staff have occurred, but at this time no formal response has been given to the Company. The Company has no indication of when a formal response will be received; however, the Company does not anticipate any material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations as a result of this issue.

Public Regulation Commission

On November 5, 1996, New Mexico voters approved an amendment to the state constitution which will replace the present State Corporation Commission and the NMPUC with a single, elected five member regulatory authority. The new Public Regulation Commission will be responsible for overseeing registration of all New Mexico corporations, as well as regulating insurers, transportation and telecommunications companies, oil and gas pipelines, and gas, electric, water and sewer public utilities operating in the state. Implementing the new regulatory structure will require legislation to establish new voting districts and revise the statutes which now govern the two existing regulatory bodies.

For other rates and regulation issues facing the Company, see PART II, ITEM
7. -- "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- OVERVIEW -- OTHER ISSUES FACING THE COMPANY -- GAS RATE CASE -- NMPUC ORDER --THE COMPANY'S JANUARY 1997 PGAC FACTOR VARIANCE REQUEST; ORDER TO FILE NEW RETAIL ELECTRIC and GAS RATE CASES and TRANSMISSION ISSUES -- FERC
Transmission Issues".

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS

The Company, in common with other electric and gas utilities, is subject to stringent regulations for protection of the environment by state, Federal and tribal authorities. In addition, PVNGS is subject to the jurisdiction of the NRC, which has authority to issue permits and licenses and to regulate nuclear facilities in order to protect the health and safety of the public from radioactive hazards and to conduct environmental reviews pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act. The Company believes that it is in compliance, in all material respects, with the environmental laws. The Company does not currently expect that material expenditures for environmental control facilities will be required to meet environmental regulations in 1997 and 1998. However, in order to achieve operational efficiencies, the Company and participants decided to begin a retrofit environmental project at SJGS which will cost the SJGS participants approximately $80 million over the next two years.

10

The Clean Air Act

The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (the "Act") impose stringent limits on emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from fossil-fueled electric generating plants. The Act is intended to reduce air contamination from every sizeable source of air pollution in the nation. Electric utilities with fossil-fueled generating units will be affected particularly by the section of the Act which deals with acid rain. To be in compliance with the Act, many utilities will be faced with installing expensive sulfur dioxide removal equipment, securing low sulfur coal, buying sulfur dioxide emission allowances, or a combination of these. Due to the existing air pollution control equipment on the coal-fired SJGS and Four Corners, the Company believes that it will not be faced with any material capital expenditures in order to be in compliance with the acid rain provisions (both sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide) of the Act. SJGS and Four Corners have installed flow monitoring equipment and have completed certification testing of their continuous emission monitoring equipment. Certification testing data was submitted to the EPA in 1995, as required. Under other provisions of the Act, the Company will be required to obtain operating permits for its coal- and gas-fired generating units and to pay annual fees associated with the operating permit program. The New Mexico operating permit program was approved by the EPA in November 1994. Operating permit applications were submitted to the state in 1995. The state has not issued any operating permits to the Company as of this date.

The Act established the Grand Canyon Visibility Transport Commission ("Commission") and charged it with assessing adverse impacts on visibility at the Grand Canyon. The Commission broadened its scope to assess visibility impairment in mandatory Class I areas (parks and wilderness areas) located in the Colorado Plateau. The Commission submitted its findings and recommendations to the EPA in June 1996.

The Commission's recommendations regarding stationary sources are to: (i) implement existing Clean Air Act requirements through the year 2000, (ii) establish stationary source emission targets as regulatory triggers, (iii) develop a plan for allocating trading credits under a regulatory program emissions cap, (iv) review compliance with targets and establish incentives, (v) complete source attribution studies and (vi) develop an improved monitoring and accounting system.

The Commission did not recommend any additional emission reductions for point sources. The recommendations include monitoring the impact of existing Clear Air Act requirements on emission reductions and the resulting effect on visibility, setting regional targets for SO2 emissions from stationary sources for the year 2000 and developing a regulatory program to implement if the targets are exceeded. The regulatory program will most likely include a market-based trading of emissions allowances. The targets and the regulatory program have not yet been developed; however, the Company does not expect a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

In a related matter, the EPA proposed revisions to the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for ozone and particulate matter. The nature of and cost of the impacts of these proposed revisions, if any, to the Company's operations cannot be determined at this time; however, the Company does not anticipate any material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

* For load and resource purposes, the Company has notified the NMPUC that it recognizes the maximum dependable capacity rating for PVNGS to be 375 MW.

(a) The Company is entitled to 10.2% of the power and energy generated by PVNGS. The Company has a 10.2% ownership interest in Unit 3 and has leasehold interests in Units 1 and 2.
(b) SJGS Units 1, 2 and 3 are 50% owned by the Company; SJGS Unit 4 is 38.457% owned by the Company.
(c) Four Corners Units 4 and 5 are 13% owned by the Company.

Fossil-Fueled Plants

SJGS is located in northwestern New Mexico, and consists of four units operated by the Company. Units 1, 2, 3 and 4 at SJGS have net rated capacities of 316 MW, 312 MW, 488 MW and 498 MW, respectively. SJGS Units 1 and 2 are owned on a 50% shared basis with Tucson. Unit 3 is owned 50% by the Company, 41.8% by SCPPA and 8.2% by Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc. Unit 4 is owned 38.457% by the Company, 28.8% by M-S-R, 10.04% by Anaheim, 8.475% by Farmington, 7.2% by Los Alamos and 7.028% by UAMPS. The Company's net aggregate ownership in SJGS is 750 MW.

The Company also owns 192 MW of net rated capacity derived from its 13% interest in Units 4 and 5 of Four Corners located in northwestern New Mexico on land leased from the Navajo Nation and adjacent to available coal deposits. Units 4 and 5 at Four Corners are jointly owned with SCE, APS, Salt River Project, Tucson and El Paso and are operated by APS.

The Company owns 154 MW of generation capacity at Reeves Station in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and 20 MW of generation capacity at Las Vegas Station in Las Vegas, New Mexico. These stations are used primarily for peaking and transmission support.

Nuclear Plant

The Company's Interest in PVNGS

The Company is participating in the three 1,270 MW units of PVNGS, also known as the Arizona Nuclear Power Project, with APS (the operating agent), Salt River Project, El Paso, SCE, SCPPA and The Department of Water and Power of the City of Los Angeles. The Company has a 10.2% undivided interest in PVNGS, with its interests in Units 1 and 2 held under leases. In September 1992, the Company purchased approximately 22% of the beneficial interests in the PVNGS Units 1 and 2 leases for approximately $17.5 million. The Company's ownership and leasehold interests in PVNGS amount to 130 MW per unit, or a total of 390 MW. PVNGS Units 1, 2 and 3 were declared in commercial service by the Company in January 1986, September 1986 and January 1988, respectively. Commercial operation of PVNGS requires full power operating licenses which were granted by the NRC. Maintenance of these licenses is subject to NRC regulation.

During 1996, PVNGS was operated at a capacity factor of 89.1% which was the highest yearly capacity factor attained at the plant. This capacity factor was primarily attributable to record setting low refueling outage days.

Sale and Leaseback Transactions of PVNGS Units 1 and 2

In eleven transactions consummated in 1985 and 1986, the Company sold and leased back its entire 10.2% interest in PVNGS Units 1 and 2, together with portions of the Company's undivided interest in certain PVNGS common facilities. In each transaction, the Company sold interests to an owner trustee under an owner trust agreement with an institutional equity investor. The owner trustees, as lessors, leased the interests to the Company under lease agreements having initial terms expiring January 15, 2015 (with respect to the Unit 1 leases) or January 15, 2016 (with respect to the Unit 2 leases). Each lease provides an option to the Company to extend the term of the lease as well as a repurchase option. The lease expense for the Company's PVNGS leases is approximately $66.3 million per year. Throughout the terms of the leases, the Company continues to have full and exclusive authority and responsibility to exercise and perform all of the rights and duties of a participant in PVNGS under the Arizona Nuclear Power Project Participation Agreement and retains the exclusive right to sell and dispose of its 10.2% share of the power and energy generated by PVNGS Units 1 and 2. The Company also retains responsibility for payment of its share of all taxes, insurance premiums, operating and maintenance costs, costs related to capital improvements and decommissioning and all other similar costs and expenses associated with the leased facilities. On September 2, 1992, the Company purchased approximately 22% of the beneficial interests in the PVNGS Units 1 and 2 leases for $17.5 million. For accounting purposes, this transaction was originally recorded as a purchase with the Company recording approximately $158.3 million as utility plant and $140.8 million as long-term debt on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. In connection with the $30 million retail rate reduction stipulated with the NMPUC in 1994, the Company wrote down the purchased beneficial interests in PVNGS Units 1 and 2 leases to $46.7 million. In March 1995, the Company retired approximately $130 million of PVNGS lease obligation bonds ("LOBs").

In October 1996, the Company purchased $200 million of the PVNGS LOBs. The bonds are held as an investment on the Company's books. For rating agency purposes, the PVNGS LOBs are included in the calculation of the debt to equity ratio and various financial coverage ratios. The purchase of the $200 million of PVNGS LOBs is treated by the rating agencies as a defeasance of the bonds, thereby resulting in an improvement to the ratios.

13

Each lease describes certain events, "Events of Loss" or "Deemed Loss Events", the occurrence of which could require the Company to, among other things, (i) pay the lessor and the equity investor, in return for such investor's interest in PVNGS, cash in the amount provided in the lease, which amount, primarily because of certain tax consequences, would exceed such equity investor's outstanding equity investment, and (ii) assume debt obligations relating to the PVNGS lease. The "Events of Loss" generally relate to casualties, accidents and other events at PVNGS, which would severely adversely affect the ability of the operating agent, APS, to operate, and the ability of the Company to earn a return on its interests in, PVNGS. The "Deemed Loss Events" consist mostly of legal and regulatory changes (such as changes in law making the sale and leaseback transactions illegal, or changes in law making the lessors liable for nuclear decommissioning obligations). The Company believes the probability of such "Events of Loss" or "Deemed Loss Events" occurring is remote. Such belief is based on the following reasons: (i) to a large extent, prevention of "Events of Loss" and some "Deemed Loss Events" is within the control of the PVNGS participants, including the Company, and the PVNGS operating agent, through the general PVNGS operational and safety oversight process and (ii) with respect to other "Deemed Loss Events," which would involve a significant change in current law and policy, the Company is unaware of any pending proposals or proposals being considered for introduction in Congress or any state legislative or regulatory body that, if adopted, would cause any such events.

PVNGS Decommissioning Funding

The Company has a program for funding its share of decommissioning costs for PVNGS. Under this program, the Company makes a series of annual deposits to an external trust over the estimated useful life of each unit with the trust funds being invested under a plan which allows the accumulation of funds largely on a tax-deferred basis through the use of life insurance policies on certain current and former employees. The results of the 1995 decommissioning study indicate that the Company's share of the PVNGS decommissioning costs will be approximately $147.5 million, a decrease from $157.8 million based on the previous 1992 study (both amounts are stated in 1995 dollars).

The Company determined that a supplemental investment program will be needed as a result of both historical cost increases and the lower than anticipated performance of the existing program. On September 29, 1995, the Company filed a request for permission from the NMPUC to establish a qualified tax advantaged trust for PVNGS Units 1 and 2. Due to Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") regulations, PVNGS Unit 3 will remain in a non-qualified trust.

Pursuant to NMPUC approval, the Company funded an additional $12.5 million into the qualified and non-qualified funds. The estimated market value of the trusts, including the current life insurance policies, at the end of 1996 was approximately $25.6 million.

PVNGS Liability and Insurance Matters

The PVNGS participants have insurance for public liability payments resulting from nuclear energy hazards to the full limit of liability under Federal law. This potential liability is covered by primary liability insurance provided by commercial insurance carriers in the amount of $200 million and the balance by an industry-wide retrospective assessment program. The maximum assessment per reactor under the retrospective rating program for each nuclear incident occurring at any nuclear power plant in the United States is approximately $79.3 million, subject to an annual limit of $10 million per incident. Based upon the Company's 10.2% interest in the three PVNGS units, the Company's maximum potential assessment per incident for all three units is approximately $24.3 million, with an annual payment limitation of $3 million per incident. The insureds under this liability insurance include the PVNGS participants and "any other person or organization with respect to his legal responsibility for damage caused by the nuclear energy hazard". If the funds provided by this retrospective assessment program prove to be insufficient, Congress could impose revenue raising measures on the nuclear industry to pay claims.

14

The PVNGS participants maintain "all-risk" (including nuclear hazards) insurance for nuclear property damage to, and decontamination of, property at PVNGS in the aggregate amount of approximately $2.75 billion as of January 1, 1997, a substantial portion of which must be applied to stabilization and decontamination. The Company has also secured insurance against portions of the increased cost of generation or purchased power and business interruption resulting from certain accidental outages of any of the three PVNGS units if the outage exceeds 21 weeks. The Company is a member of two industry mutual insurers. These mutual insurers provide both the "all-risk" and increased cost of generation insurance to the Company. In the event of adverse losses experienced by these insurers, the Company is subject to an assessment. The Company's maximum share of any assessment is approximately $3.9 million per year.

Other Electric Properties

Four Corners and a portion of the facilities adjacent to SJGS are located on land held under easements from the United States and also under leases from the Navajo Nation, the enforcement of which leases might require Congressional consent. The risk with respect to the enforcement of these easements and leases is not deemed by the Company to be material. However, the Company is dependent in some measure upon the willingness and ability of the Navajo Nation to protect these properties. (See PART II, ITEM 7. -- "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- OTHER ISSUES FACING THE
COMPANY -- TRANSMISSION ISSUES -- Transmission Right-of-Way".)

In July 1996, the Company and other SJGS participants signed an agreement to convert the existing flue gas desulfurization (SO2 removal) system at the SJGS into a much simpler and cost effective limestone system. The conversion project will cost the participants approximately $80 million over the next two years. The NMPUC has been notified of the conversion and expected cost savings. The NMED approval of a new air permit for the limestone system and a disposal permit for the mine has been requested. Construction is scheduled to begin in April 1997 and expected to be completed by the end of 1998.

As of December 31, 1996, the Company owned, jointly owned or leased 2,803 circuit miles of electric transmission lines, 5,333 miles of distribution overhead lines, 3,299 cable miles of underground distribution lines (excluding street lighting) and 226 substations.

NATURAL GAS

The natural gas property as of December 31, 1996 consisted primarily of natural gas storage, transmission and distribution systems. Provisions for storage made by the Company include ownership and operation of an underground storage facility located near Albuquerque, New Mexico. The transmission systems consisted of approximately 1,277 miles of pipe with appurtenant compression facilities. The distribution systems consisted of approximately 10,098 miles of pipe.

On June 21, 1996, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with the DOE for the purchase of approximately 130 miles of transmission pipe for $3.1 million for the transmission of natural gas to Los Alamos and to certain other communities in northern New Mexico. The purchase is subject to the DOE providing right-of-way satisfactory to the Company. The acquisition by the Company was approved by the NMPUC in December 1996. Right-of-way resolution is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 1997.

OTHER INFORMATION

The electric and gas transmission and distribution lines are generally located within easements and rights-of-way on public, private and Indian lands.

15

The Company leases interests in PVNGS Units 1 and 2 and related property, EIP and associated equipment, data processing, communication, office and other equipment, office space, utility poles (joint use), vehicles and real estate. The Company also owns and leases service and office facilities in Albuquerque and in other operating divisions throughout its service territory.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

PVNGS WATER SUPPLY LITIGATION

The validity of the primary effluent contract under which water necessary for the operation of the PVNGS units is obtained was challenged in a suit filed in January 1982 by the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community (the "Community") against the Department of the Interior, the Federal agency alleged to have jurisdiction over the use of the effluent. The PVNGS participants, including the Company, were named as additional defendants in the proceeding, which is before the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. The portion of the action challenging the effluent contract has been stayed until the Community litigates certain claims in the same action against the Department of the Interior and other defendants. On October 21, 1988, Federal legislation was enacted conforming to the requirements of a proposed settlement that would terminate this case without affecting the validity of the primary effluent contract. However, certain contingencies are to be performed before the settlement is finalized and the suit is dismissed. One of these contingencies is the approval of the settlement by the court in the Lower Gila River Watershed litigation referred to below.

The Company understands that a summons served on APS in early 1986 required all water claimants in the Lower Gila River Watershed of Arizona to assert any claims to water on or before January 20, 1987, in an action pending in the Maricopa County Superior Court. PVNGS is located within the geographic area subject to the summons and the rights of the PVNGS participants to the use of groundwater and effluent at PVNGS are potentially at issue in this action. APS, as the PVNGS project manager, filed claims that dispute the court's jurisdiction over the PVNGS participants' groundwater rights and their contractual rights to effluent relating to PVNGS and, alternatively, seek confirmation of such rights. No trial date has been set in this matter.

Although the foregoing matters remain subject to further evaluation, APS expects that the described litigation will not have a material adverse impact on the operation of PVNGS. In addition, the ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operation.

SAN JUAN RIVER ADJUDICATION

In 1975, the State of New Mexico filed an action entitled State of New Mexico v. United States, et al., in the District Court of San Juan County, New Mexico, to adjudicate all water rights in the "San Juan River Stream System". The Company was made a defendant in the litigation in 1976. The action was expected to adjudicate water rights used at Four Corners and at SJGS. (See ITEM
1. "BUSINESS -- ELECTRIC OPERATIONS -- Fuel and Water Supply -- Water Supply".) The Company cannot at this time anticipate the effect, if any, of any water rights adjudication on the present arrangements for water at SJGS and Four Corners. It is the Company's understanding that final resolution of the case cannot be expected for several years.

PVNGS PROPERTY TAXES

On June 29, 1990, an Arizona state tax law was enacted, effective as of December 31, 1989, which adversely impacted the Company's earnings in the years of 1990 through 1995 by approximately $5 million per year, before income taxes.

16

On December 20, 1990, the PVNGS participants, including the Company, filed a lawsuit in the Arizona Tax Court, a division of the Maricopa County Superior Court, against the Arizona Department of Revenue, the Treasurer of the State of Arizona, and various Arizona counties, claiming, among other things, that portions of the new tax law are unconstitutional. In December 1992, the court granted summary judgment to the taxing authorities, holding that the law is constitutional. The PVNGS participants appealed this decision to the Arizona Court of Appeals. On November 21, 1995, the Arizona Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the PVNGS participants. In April 1996, the participants and the Arizona Department of Revenue reached an agreement to settle the pending litigation. Pursuant to the tentative settlement, the Company will relinquish its claims for relief with respect to prior years and the defendants will not challenge the Court of Appeals decision concerning prospective relief (for tax years 1996 and thereafter).

On July 18, 1996, the Arizona legislature passed, and the Governor of Arizona subsequently signed, a $200 million property tax reduction which codifies the terms of the settlement. Final documents are currently being prepared for the signatures of the parties to this action. The result of the legislation and the settlement will be a reduction in the Company's Arizona property tax of approximately $4.0 million annually beginning in 1996 and extending at least three years, barring any subsequent changes in the applicable tax law.

OTHER PROCEEDINGS

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") Litigation, formerly Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC") Litigation ("MDL-995")

On April 16, 1993, the Company and certain current and former employees of the Company or Meadows ("BCD parties") were named as defendants in an action filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona by the RTC, as receiver for Western Savings and Loan Association ("Western"). Three of the individuals sued by the RTC have indemnity agreements with the Company. The claims relate to alleged actions of the Company's or Meadows' employees in 1987 in connection with a loan procured by BCD, whose general partners include Meadows, from Western and the purchase by that partnership of property owned by Western. The RTC apparently claims that the Company's liability stems from the actions of a former employee who allegedly acted on behalf of the Company for the Company's benefit. The RTC is claiming in excess of $40 million in actual damages from the BCD/Western transactions and is also claiming damages substantially exceeding that amount on Arizona racketeering, civil conspiracy and aiding and abetting theories . These allegations involve claims against the Company for damages to Western caused by other defendants and from other transactions to which BCD was not a party. The Company is sued only on the Arizona racketeering claims. The RTC claims that damages under the Arizona racketeering statute would be trebled under applicable Arizona law. The prevailing parties on the Arizona racketeering claims could seek their fees and costs from the parties who do not prevail.

On December 31, 1995, the RTC ceased to exist and its duties and responsibilities were transferred to the FDIC. The FDIC has been substituted for the RTC as plaintiff in MDL-995.

17

On April 11, 1996, representatives of the BCD parties and the FDIC met with a mediator to continue settlement discussions. The mediation session resulted in an agreement to settle the case for approximately $5.8 million, approximately $3.1 million of which would be paid by the Company and the remainder to be paid by insurance covering the BCD parties. Settlement documents are being drafted for submission to the Court for approval. After consideration of established reserves, the Company believes that there will be no material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

The Company continues to believe that all of the claims made by the FDIC in this case are without merit but, for business reasons, believes that the settlement is in the best interest of the Company.

Republic Savings Bank ("RSB") Litigation

On July 1, 1996, in a 7-2 decision in the case of United States v. Winstar Corporation, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the Federal government had breached its contractual obligations with certain thrifts in refusing to recognize the accounting practices of supervisory goodwill and capital credits. Contracts had been negotiated with certain Federal agencies providing for the purchase of failing thrifts on the condition that supervisory goodwill and capital credits be recognized for purposes of determining compliance with regulatory capital requirements. When Congress enacted the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act in 1989, these accounting practices were prohibited, thus driving otherwise healthy thrifts out of compliance with the capital requirements. Many, including RSB, were taken over and liquidated as a result.

Meadows owns directly a 100% ownership interest in Republic Holding Company ("RHC"), and RSB was a wholly-owned subsidiary of RHC. Meadows and RHC have pending before the United States Court of Federal Claims, a lawsuit filed on April 13, 1992, alleging similar contractual arrangements to those at issue in the Winstar case. The Federal government has filed a counterclaim alleging breach by RHC of its obligation to maintain RSB's net worth and has moved to dismiss Meadows' claim for lack of standing.

RSB was the thrift organized upon the acquisition of Citizens Federal Savings and Loan Association and Fireside Federal Savings and Loan Association, both Illinois corporations, in 1985. The plaintiffs invested $17 million of new capital in the failing institutions. The Federal regulators expressly promised that approximately $23 million of supervisory goodwill created by the transaction could be accounted for as an intangible asset to be counted toward regulatory capital. Additionally, the regulators promised to allow a $3 million cash contribution by the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation to be recorded as a direct credit to regulatory capital. On June 5, 1992, the Office of Thrift Supervision placed RSB in receivership and appointed the RTC as receiver. On November 6, 1992, RTC sold RSB as a going concern for a premium of nearly $1 million, with approximately $215.5 million in assets and $203.9 million in liabilities.

The RSB case has been held in abeyance pending the ruling by the Supreme Court. The Company believes that the Winstar decision establishes the Federal government's liability to Meadows and RHC in the RSB litigation and the amount of damages owed as a result will be vigorously litigated. It is premature to estimate the amount of recovery, if any, by Meadows and RHC.

Four Corners

The Company owns a 13% ownership interest in Units 4 and 5 of Four Corners located in northwestern New Mexico on land leased from the Navajo Nation. In July 1995, the Navajo Nation enacted the Navajo Nation Air Pollution Prevention and Control Act, the Navajo Nation Safe Drinking Water Act and the Navajo Nation Pesticide Act (collectively, the "Acts"). By letter dated October 12, 1995, the Four Corners participants requested the United States Secretary of

18

the Interior (the "Secretary") to resolve their dispute with the Navajo Nation regarding whether or not the Acts apply to operation of Four Corners. The Four Corners participants subsequently filed a lawsuit in the District Court of the Navajo Nation (the "Court"), Window Rock District, seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment that: (i) the Four Corners leases and Federal easements preclude the application of the Acts to the operation of Four Corners; and (ii) the Navajo Nation and its agencies and courts lack adjudicatory jurisdiction to determine the enforceability of the Acts as applied to Four Corners. On October 18, 1995, the Navajo Nation and the Four Corners participants agreed to indefinitely stay the proceedings referenced above so that the parties may attempt to resolve the dispute without litigation, and have requested that the Secretary and the Court stay these proceedings. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this matter but does not anticipate any material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operation.

On January 31, 1997, there were 18,835 holders of record of the Company's common stock.

On December 31, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors ("Board") declared a quarterly cash dividend of 12 cents per share of common stock payable February 21, 1997 to shareholders of record as of February 3, 1997. This will be the fourth quarterly dividend to the Company's common shareholders since the Company reinstated its common stock dividend in May 1996.

The Board set the dividend payout ratio below the industry average to allow for dividend growth in the future and to sustain financial flexibility for the Company to respond to potential opportunities in the evolving energy marketplace. The Board had not declared cash dividends on common stock since 1989. In establishing its new dividend policy, the Board weighed the Company's current financial position and its future business plan, as well as the regulatory and business climate in New Mexico. Future dividend declaration will be reviewed for action by the Board and coordinated with quarterly earnings announcements. The payment of future dividends will depend on earnings, the financial condition of the Company, market conditions and other factors.

Cumulative Preferred Stock

While isolated sales of the Company's cumulative preferred stock have occurred in the past, the Company is not aware of any active trading market for its cumulative preferred stock. Quarterly cash dividends were paid on each series of the Company's cumulative preferred stock at their stated rates during 1996 and 1995.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is management's assessment of the Company's financial condition and the significant factors affecting the results of operations. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements.

OVERVIEW

Restructuring the Electric Utility Industry

The electric utility industry continues to be in a period of fundamental change intended to promote a competitive environment in the retail and wholesale energy marketplaces. Legislators and regulators at both the state and Federal levels continue to consider how to promote competition among suppliers of electricity and how to provide customers with choice among suppliers.

At the state level, the Integrated Water and Resource Planning Committee of the New Mexico State Legislature (the "IWRPC") held hearings during 1996 which focused on the issues related to restructuring of the electric industry in New Mexico. The Company participated extensively in these hearings and, at the invitation of the IWRPC, submitted draft legislation to be used as a starting point for the various parties to consider regarding the electric industry restructuring. The draft legislation would allow an electric utility to recover all of its prudently incurred stranded costs, and also provide a path for business flexibility. The AG testified that retail competition should not be introduced at this time but, if it is, there should be independent ownership of generation, transmission and distribution facilities, due to market power concerns. At its November 1996 meeting, the IWRPC voted not to recommend restructuring legislation in the 1997 session but instead to recommend continuation of the IWRPC and a study of the tax effects of restructuring. The IWRPC also sent a letter to the NMPUC calling for no restructuring to be undertaken by the NMPUC without legislative approval. The New Mexico legislative session is currently in progress and the Company will closely monitor any legislative action regarding restructuring of the electric utility industry.

During 1996, the NMPUC conducted a series of workshop meetings in its "Investigation of Restructuring of Regulation of the Electric Industry in New Mexico". The Company actively participated in these workshops and presented the Company's position on various matters related to industry restructuring. The Company provided data and analysis in the areas of market structure, measurement and collection of stranded costs, market power, potential changes in Company structure and issues related to the transition phase. In conjunction with the workshop meetings, the NMPUC ordered all utilities under its jurisdiction to file their estimates of stranded costs, absent any recovery method being adopted, based on the Texas Public Utility Commission Economic Cost Over Market
("ECOM") model. The Company, in its filing, presented two methodologies: (i)
using the ECOM model, the Company's stranded cost estimates run from $657 million for a 1998 full retail access case to $119 million for a 2002 full retail access case, and (ii) using a second methodology, based upon the difference between the Company's costs of existing generation and the costs of new combined cycle and combustion turbine units to serve the same load, the Company's costs above the level of new gas units, in 1997 dollars, were estimated at $748 million for a 1998 full retail access case to $327 million for a 2002 full retail access case. The Company advised the NMPUC that the results of the ECOM model are highly sensitive to various assumptions, primarily projections of future gas prices. To date, the NMPUC has not acted on the requested information.

At the Federal level, two orders and a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ("NOPR") related to the provision of transmission service by public utilities were issued in 1996. FERC Order 888, effective July 9, 1996, addresses, among other things, numerous subjects related to the terms and conditions under which public utilities are required to provide access to transmission services, to purchase transmission service on comparable terms for their own wholesale

24

marketing activities, to recover stranded costs from departing wholesale customers and to conform existing power pool agreements to the open access provision of the order. All public utilities were required to have filed, by the effective date, an Open Access Transmission Tariff based on the provisions of the order. In July 1996, the Company filed its compliance Open Access Transmission Tariff under Order 888.

FERC Order 889, effective January 3, 1997, requires public utilities to install and operate an Open Access Same-time Information System and comply with certain standards of conduct among employees in transmission operations and wholesale power marketing, designed to prevent employees of a public utility or its affiliates engaged in wholesale marketing functions from obtaining preferential access to transmission-related information or from engaging in unduly discriminatory business practices regarding access to transmission service. On January 2, 1997, the Company filed with the FERC its Standards of Conduct report in compliance with provisions of Order 889.

A NOPR relating to transmission capacity reservation proposed the elimination of the provision of separate "network" and "point-to-point" service as provided in Order 888, providing all open access service under a capacity reservation tariff. Industry comments were submitted to the FERC on October 1, 1996. The FERC has provided no indication of any future activity on the proposed rulemaking. The Company continues to assess the impact of both the rules and the potential impact of the proposed rulemaking.

In July 1996, legislation was introduced in the United States Congress to allow retail competition by the year 2000. Since then, a number of bills have been drafted for potential introduction in Congress. It is anticipated that these bills will be heavily lobbied by utilities, industrials, power marketers, generators, environmental groups, consumer groups and state regulators.

Although it is currently unable to predict the ultimate outcome of possible retail wheeling initiatives, the Company has been and will continue to be active at both the state and Federal levels in the public policy debates on the restructuring of the electric utility industry. The Company will continue to work with customers, regulators and legislators and other interested parties to find solutions that bring competitive benefits while recognizing past commitments.

Competitive Strategy

The Company's strategy for dealing with competition in changing market places includes ongoing cost reductions, increased productivity, pursuit of growth opportunities, seeking to improve credit ratings to investment grade and strengthening of customer relations. To accomplish these objectives, the Company continues to maintain the focus on its core business and is aggressively pursuing its efforts to expand its energy related business into carefully targeted markets for new business opportunities.

In pursuing new business opportunities, the Company is focusing on energy and utility related activities under its Energy Services Business Unit. These activities will provide energy marketing and energy management services focused on residential and small customers, management services for water and wastewater systems and utility related management and operation services for Federal installations and other large commercial institutions in the Southwest. The Energy Services Business Unit is also pursuing business opportunities in Mexico.

In June 1995, the Company filed an application with the NMPUC for authorization for the creation of three wholly-owned non-utility subsidiaries as part of the Energy Services Business Unit. The Company sought approval to invest a maximum of $50 million in the three subsidiaries over time and to enter into reciprocal loan agreements for up to $30 million with these subsidiaries. The NMPUC staff filed a motion on September 20, 1995 to have the case dismissed. On January 31, 1996, the hearing examiner assigned to the case recommended that the NMPUC deny the Staff's motion. In March 1996, the NMPUC issued an order adopting the hearing examiner's recommendation and denied NMPUC staff's motion to dismiss the case. On July 8, 1996, hearings in the case began and were concluded on July

25

19, 1996. The NMPUC staff alleged that certain activities undertaken by the Company, that would be transferred to the subsidiaries if approval is granted, required prior approval thus leaving the Company subject to sanctions. The Company currently cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this proceeding but has and intends to continue to vigorously defend against any allegation that it is in violation of any legal requirements.

In December 1996, the Company filed an application for certain variances and authorization to invest up to $7.5 million of equity capital in a partially-owned subsidiary company to be incorporated under the laws of the United Mexican States, and to provide guarantees, as necessary, of up to $10 million that may be required in connection with the forming of a subsidiary in Mexico. The Company jointly with Triturados Basalticos y Derivados, S.A. ("Tribasa"), one of the largest construction companies in Mexico, submitted a bid to develop, design, construct, manage and operate natural gas distribution systems in the cities of Chihuahua, Cuauhtemoc-Anahuac and Delicias in the State of Chihuahua, Mexico. If the Company and Tribasa, and possibly a third entity, were to be awarded the permit jointly, these companies would be required, under Mexican law, to form and capitalize a Mexican corporation to comply with permit requirements. In such event, the Company would serve as technical participant and would be required to maintain a certain equity ownership interest. On January 17, 1997, the NMPUC gave the Company conditional approval to proceed. On February 3, 1997, the Company made its compliance filing pursuant to the NMPUC's conditional approval. The Company is currently unable to predict the outcome of the bid.

The Company believes that successful operation of the Energy Services Business Unit activities will better position the Company in an increasingly competitive utility environment. The Company is currently awaiting NMPUC action on the formation of the energy and non-utility related subsidiaries under the Company's general diversification plan discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Capital Requirements and Liquidity

Total capital requirements include construction expenditures as well as other major capital requirements, including retirement of long-term debt, long-term debt sinking funds and cash dividend requirements for both common and preferred stock. The main focus of the Company's construction program is upgrading generating systems, upgrading and expanding the electric and gas transmission and distribution systems and purchasing nuclear fuel. Total capital requirements and construction expenditures for 1996 were $321.0 million and $103.1 million, respectively. Projections for total capital requirements and construction expenditures for years 1997-2001 are $914.7 million and $563.7 million, respectively. These estimates are under continuing review and subject to on-going adjustment. In conjunction with upgrading generating systems, the Company has begun a retrofit environmental project at the SJGS which will cost the Company approximately $40 million during the next two years.

The Company's construction expenditures for 1996 were entirely funded through cash generated from operations. The Company currently anticipates that internal cash generation will be sufficient to meet capital requirements during 1997 through 2001. To cover the difference in the amounts and timing of cash generation and cash requirements, the Company intends to utilize short-term borrowings under its liquidity arrangements.

In September 1996, the NMPUC granted the Company's request for the purchase of up to $300 million of PVNGS LOBs and Eastern Interconnection Project secured facility bonds over the next three years. In October 1996, the Company purchased $200 million of PVNGS LOBs at a premium with accrued interest. In purchasing the LOBs, the Company borrowed $100 million against the credit facility collateralized by the Company's utility customer accounts receivable and certain amounts being recovered from gas customers relating to certain gas contract settlements and utilized $118 million of its cash. Although the PVNGS LOBs are

26

off-balance sheet debt, these outstanding bonds have been included in the calculation of the Company's debt to capitalization ratio as well as various financial coverage ratios by the major rating agencies. The purchase of the LOBS will not only improve these ratios, but will also increase earnings in the form of interest income. At the end of 1996, the Company had $20.3 million in cash and temporary investments and $100.4 million in short-term borrowings.

In addition, at year-end 1996 the Company had $110.6 million of available liquidity arrangements, consisting of $100 million from the revolving credit facility ("Facility") and $10.6 million in local lines of credit . The Facility will expire in June 1998 and includes a maximum allowed debt to capitalization ratio of 70%. As of December 31, 1996, such ratio was 61.7 %, including the PVNGS and EIP leases as debt. The Company expects to renew the Facility before its expiration date.

Financing Capability and Dividend Restrictions

The Company's ability to finance its construction program at a reasonable cost and to provide for other capital needs is largely dependent upon its ability to earn a fair return on equity, results of operations, credit ratings, regulatory approvals and financial market conditions. Financing flexibility is enhanced by providing a high percentage of total capital requirements from internal sources and having the ability, if necessary, to issue long-term securities, and to obtain short-term credit. In September 1996, Standard & Poor's Corp. and Moody's Investors Service, Inc. upgraded the Company's credit ratings to one level below investment grade. Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co. maintains an investment grade rating for the Company's first mortgage bonds, but continues to rate all other securities of the Company below investment grade. The Company may face limited credit markets and higher financing costs as a result of its securities being rated below investment grade.

One impact of the Company's current ratings, together with covenants in the Company's PVNGS Units 1 and 2 lease agreements (see PART I, ITEM 2. -- "PROPERTIES -- Nuclear Plant"), is to limit the Company's ability, without consent of the owner participants and bondholders in the lease transactions, (i) to enter into any merger or consolidation, or (ii) except in connection with normal dividend policy, to convey, transfer, lease or dividend more than 5% of its assets in any single transaction or series of related transactions. The Facility and a reimbursement agreement associated with the letter of credit supporting $37.3 million of pollution control revenue bonds impose similar restrictions irrespective of credit ratings.

The issuance of first mortgage bonds by the Company is subject to earnings and bondable property provisions of the Company's first mortgage indenture. The Company also has the capability under the mortgage indenture, without regard to the earnings test but subject to other conditions, to issue first mortgage bonds on the basis of certain previously retired bonds. At December 31, 1996, based on the earnings test, the Company could have issued approximately $254 million of additional first mortgage bonds, assuming an annual interest rate of 8.65 percent. The Company's restated articles of incorporation limit the amount of preferred stock which may be issued. Assuming a preferred stock dividend rate of 9.40 percent, the Company could have issued $379 million of preferred stock as of year-end.

In December 1996, the Company refinanced $23 million 1984 Series A Pollution Control Revenue Bonds, $77.045 million 1977 Series Pollution Control Revenue Bonds and $65 million 1978 Series A Pollution Control Revenue Bonds with fixed rates of 6.3%, 6.3% and 5.7%, respectively. The maturity dates for these new bonds are December 2026, December 2016 and December 2016, respectively. In addition, the Company is currently in the process of refinancing an additional $190 million of pollution control revenue bonds. On January 21, 1997, the Company received NMPUC approval for the refinancing of such bonds, and closing is anticipated for late February 1997. The remaining $60 million of the 1978 Series A Pollution Control Revenue Bonds and $40 million of the Company's 1979 Series A Pollution Control Revenue Bonds will be refinanced as variable rate bonds in the weekly mode. The initial variable rate will be determined prior to closing. The remaining $90 million of the 1979 Series A Pollution Control Revenue Bonds will be refinanced with a fixed rate of 6.375%. The total of the $190 million bonds will mature in April 2022.

The Company currently has no requirements for long-term financing during the period of 1997 through 2001. However, during this period, the Company could enter into long-term financing for the purpose of strengthening its balance sheet and reducing its cost of capital. The Company continues to evaluate its investment and debt retirement options to optimize its financing strategy and earnings potential.

The Company resumed the payment of cash dividends on common stock starting in May 1996 and continued a quarterly cash dividend of 12 cents per common share during 1996. The Company's board of directors reviews the Company's dividend policy on a continuing basis. The declaration of common dividends is dependent upon a number of factors including earnings and financial condition of the Company and market conditions.

* Total capitalization does not include the present value of the Company's lease obligations for PVNGS Units 1 and 2 and EIP as debt but does include, for 1994, the debt associated with the beneficial interests in certain PVNGS Units 1 and 2 leases purchased by the Company, which were retired in March 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Earnings per share of common stock were $1.72, $1.72 and $1.77 for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The sales of the gathering and processing assets and the Company's water division in 1995 had a significant positive earnings effect in 1995 and impacted 1996 earnings by reducing operating margin, reducing operating expenses, reducing interest charges and increasing investment income.

Electric gross margin (operating revenues less fuel and purchased power expense) increased $23.3 million in 1996 as a result of retail load growth and warmer than normal weather and increased off-system sales margin as a result of improved wholesale power market conditions.

Electric gross margin decreased $37.9 million in 1995 from 1994 due to the retail rate reduction implemented in late 1994, reduced off-system sales as a result of the expiration of three sales contracts and generally poor wholesale power market conditions. An offset to such decreases was the increase in revenues resulting from retail load growth.

Gas gross margin (operating revenues less gas purchased for resale) was unchanged from 1995. Higher off-system sales margin and higher retail sales margin as a result of cooler than normal weather in 1996 were offset by the absence of the gas gathering and processing margin in 1996 due to the sale of the gas assets in 1995.

Gas gross margin decreased $16.4 million in 1995 from 1994 due to decreased gas deliveries resulting from warmer than normal weather in 1995 and reduced margin as a result of the sale of the gas assets in 1995.

28

Other operation and maintenance expenses ("O&M") decreased $.3 million in 1996 from 1995 due to the following: (i) lower production O&M expenses of $7.9 million as a result of reduced scheduled maintenance outages in 1996, decreased down time in 1996 for refueling outages and lower property taxes in 1996, (ii) a decrease of $6.3 million in gas production and products extraction expense resulting from the gas assets sale in June 1995, (iii) lower pension and benefit costs of $4.2 million as a result of an adjustment to the retiree's health care costs and (iv) a decrease in water O&M expense of $3.0 million resulting from the sale of the Company's water division in July 1995. Such decreases were offset by higher administrative and general ("A&G") expense of $21.0 million due to increased labor, increased office supplies and expense and higher outside services.

Other O&M expenses decreased $12.3 million in 1995 from 1994 due to the following: (i) a decrease of A&G expense of $7.5 million due to decreased injuries and damages as a result of the recording of worker's compensation liability in 1994 and a decrease in temporary office labor and postage expense,
(ii) a decrease in gas production and products extraction expense of $6.2 million resulting from the gas assets sale in 1995, (iii) a $4.1 million decrease in production O&M expenses as a result of a reduction in scheduled maintenance outage hours and (iv) a decrease in water O&M expense of $2.1 million resulting from the sale of the Company's water division in 1995. Such decreases were offset by (i) higher A&G labor expense of $4.7 million and (ii) higher employee benefit expense of $2.7 million caused by the retroactive deferral of the gas operation's retirees health care costs for regulatory purposes recorded in 1994.

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $2.7 million from a year ago as a result of the sale of the Company's water division and gas assets in 1995 and an adjustment recorded in 1996 for the over amortization of certain intangible utility plant. Depreciation and amortization expenses for 1995 increased $6.7 million from 1994 as a result of the implementation of new depreciation rates approved by the NMPUC in November 1994.

Net other income and deductions decreased $18.8 million from a year ago and increased $20.3 million in 1995 from 1994. Significant 1996 items, net of taxes, included the following: (i) a regulatory liability of $10.1 million, (ii) a $1.7 million write-down of certain assets related to the Company's natural gas vehicle program and (iii) an additional accrual of $1.0 million for environmental liabilities associated with the 1995 gas assets sale. Offsetting such decreases was a curtailment gain of $8.0 million related to the change of the Company's defined benefit pension plan and higher interest income of $7.6 million as a result of increased temporary investments in 1996 and the purchase of the PVNGS LOBs.

Significant 1995 items, net of taxes, included the following: (i) a gain of $12.8 million recognized from the gas assets sale, (ii) a gain of $6.4 million recognized from the sale of the Company's water division, (iii) a $2.6 million adjustment to the carrying costs related to gas take-or-pay settlement amounts,
(iv) a $1.9 million insurance recovery and (v) the $1.4 million related to adjusting reclamation reserves for certain mining operations. Offsetting such increases were: (i) additional regulatory reserves of $4.8 million and (ii) write-downs of $1.8 million for various non-utility properties.

Significant 1994 items, net of taxes, included the following: (i) a write-off of $3.0 million relating to gas take-or-pay settlement payments which were not recoverable through rates, (ii) an additional provision for legal expenses of $3.6 million and (iii) a gain and associated tax benefits of $6.1 million from the sale of generating facilities to UAMPS.

Net interest charges decreased $3.2 million and $12.7 million in 1996 and 1995, respectively, as a result of the retirement of $132.7 million of PVNGS LOBs in March 1995. An offset to the 1996 decrease was higher short-term interest charges resulting from short-term borrowings for the purchase of the PVNGS LOBs and an interest assessment from the IRS. In addition, the 1995 decrease included the effect of the retirement of $45 million of first mortgage bonds in April 1994.

29

Preferred stock dividend requirements decreased $3.1 million and $2.7 million in 1996 and 1995, respectively, as a result of the retirement of $64 million of preferred stock in August 1995.

OTHER ISSUES FACING THE COMPANY

GAS RATE CASE

On August 28, 1995, the Company filed a request for a $13.3 million increase in its retail natural gas sales and transportation rates. NMPUC Staff and intervenors in the case filed their testimony on January 16, 1996. The Staff recommended a $2.5 million rate decrease and the AG recommended a $13.2 million rate decrease. On February 13, 1997, the NMPUC issued a final order in the gas rate case, ordering a rate decrease of $7.0 million. In ordering the rate decrease, among other things, the NMPUC disallowed the recovery of certain regulatory assets. The Company strongly disagrees with the NMPUC's final order and filed an appeal with the New Mexico Supreme Court on February 17, 1997. The Company has evaluated the impacts of the rate reduction and has established appropriate reserves in its 1996 financial statements, pending the outcome of the appeal.

NMPUC ORDER -- THE COMPANY'S JANUARY 1997 PGAC FACTOR VARIANCE REQUEST; ORDER TO FILE NEW RETAIL ELECTRIC AND GAS RATE CASES

Due to rapidly rising gas supply costs in December 1996, PNMGS requested a variance, on December 18, 1996, from the NMPUC to increase its gas cost factor by more than 10% without a prior mandatory hearing. Pursuant to NMPUC rules, PNMGS implemented the new gas cost factor with its January billing cycle. This increase in gas cost along with increased gas consumption and longer billing periods for some customers resulted in a substantial increase to customers' bills. The NMPUC denied PNMGS' variance to increase the factor more than 10% without a hearing and held public hearings to receive public comment and testimony. These hearings began on January 22 and concluded on January 30, 1997. The Company provided testimony regarding the higher gas costs.

The NMPUC issued a final order in this case on February 13, 1997. In the order, the NMPUC imposed, but suspended, a fine of $2.2 million to the Company due to an allegedly incorrect cost factor (too low) that was filed in November 1996. In addition, the NMPUC disallowed collection of $1.6 million of gas costs and ordered an independent audit to be conducted to review the Company's PGAC factor calculations for the period of December 1995 through January 1997. The NMPUC also ordered the docketing of two new investigations. The first, which requires a Company filing by March 15, 1997, will investigate whether or not the Company should exit the merchant function in providing gas supplies to customers. The second, will investigate the prudence of the Company's portfolio strategies and purchase practices. In addition, the NMPUC ordered the Company to file a new gas rate case by August 1, 1997, and also ordered the Company to file an electric retail rate case by May 1, 1997.

In the order, the NMPUC accused the Company of intentionally filing an inaccurate factor to avoid a hearing, thus, impairing the NMPUC's ability to investigate rising gas prices. The Company strongly disagrees with the NMPUC's final order and is evaluating its options, including rehearing and a possible appeal to the New Mexico Supreme Court.

TRANSMISSION ISSUES

Transmission Right-of-Way

The Company has easements for right-of-way with the Navajo Nation for portions of several transmission lines that deliver the Company's generation resources to the Albuquerque metropolitan area. One grant of easement for approximately 4.2 miles of right-of-way for two parallel 345 Kv transmission lines expired in 1993. Prior to the expiration, the Company had numerous

30

unsuccessful negotiation meetings with the Navajo Nation for the renewal of the long-term grant. In 1994, the Navajo Nation adopted a Civil Trespass Statute providing for civil penalties, damages and other remedies, including removal, to be imposed for unconsented or unauthorized use of Navajo Nation lands. In 1995, the Company reached a tentative agreement with the Navajo Nation for a twenty-year renewal of the transmission easement and a resolution of all other transmission right-of-way issues. Prior to the execution of the agreement, another agency of the Navajo Nation notified the Company that it was contesting certain water rights at the SJGS, which has delayed resolution of the transmission right-of-way issues. The Company continued to work with the Navajo Nation in 1996 to resolve this conflict.

The Company continues to assess its options but will not pursue other alternatives unless it receives indications that settlement cannot be reached in a satisfactory manner. The Company currently cannot predict the outcome of the negotiations or the costs resulting therefrom; however, the Company believes that resolution of this issue will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

FERC Transmission Issues

In April 1996, the Company filed a notice of change in rates for firm and non-firm transmission services. The Company also filed two transmission service tariffs and a market-based generation tariff. The Company requested that the rate change filings, as well as the transmission and generation tariff filings, be consolidated with four Section 206 complaint proceedings of four affected customers, as well as a rate change proceeding related to the Company's provision of firm transmission service to EPE. Seven dockets (the "consolidated dockets") were consolidated for purposes of determining appropriate transmission service rates.

In addition, two wholesale customers separately filed requests for transmission service under Section 211 of the Federal Power Act in 1996. One of these customers notified the Company of its intention to terminate certain transmission service agreements and the Company filed notice of termination of this transmission service agreement with the FERC.

Prior to the scheduled hearings in the case, the parties were able to reach a negotiated settlement of the consolidated dockets, the transmission service requests and the Company's market-based generation rate tariff. Certain provisions of the Company's Open Access Transmission Tariff ("the Tariff") were also incorporated into the settlement, leaving portions of the Tariff subject to further FERC review. A stipulation on the settlement reached by the parties was filed with the FERC on December 16, 1996. In accordance with the stipulated agreement, the Company will refund approximately $3.7 million of revenues it collected from the customers during the time their Section 206 complaints were pending. In addition, the Company's firm wholesale transmission service revenues will be reduced by approximately $1.6 million annually. The stipulation was certified by the Administrative Law Judge to the FERC on January 22, 1997. The Company anticipates that the FERC will take action on the stipulation before the end of the second quarter of 1997. The Company does not anticipate any material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations from the settlement agreement.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

The Company is committed to complying with all applicable environmental regulations in a responsible manner. Environmental issues have presented and will continue to present a challenge to the Company. The Company has evaluated the potential impacts of the following environmental issues and believes, after consideration of established reserves, that the ultimate outcome of these environmental issues will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Electric Operations

Santa Fe Station

The Company and the NMED have conducted investigations of the groundwater contamination detected beneath the former Santa Fe Generating Station site to determine the source of the contamination. The Company has been and is continuing to cooperate with the NMED regarding site investigations and remedial planning pursuant to a settlement agreement between the Company and the NMED. In June 1996, the Company received a letter from the NMED, indicating that the NMED believes the Company is the source of gasoline contamination in a municipal well supplying the City of Santa Fe and groundwater underlying the Santa Fe Station. Further, the NMED letter stated that the Company was required to proceed with interim remediation of the contamination pursuant to the New Mexico Water Quality Control Commission ("NMWQCC") regulations.

In July 1996, the Company filed an appeal with the NMWQCC protesting the determination and directives contained in the NMED's June 1996 letter. Subsequently, negotiation meetings were conducted between the Company and the NMED for a resolution of the groundwater contamination issue.

On October 3, 1996, the Company and the NMED signed an Amendment to the Settlement Agreement concerning the groundwater contamination. As part of the Amendment, the Company agreed to spend approximately $1.2 million ("Settlement Amount") for certain costs related to sampling, monitoring, and development and implementation of a remediation plan. The remediation plan is to be developed jointly by the Company and the NMED. Since the contamination affects a municipal well supplying the City of Santa Fe, the cooperation of the City of Santa Fe will also be sought in the development of the plan. The amended Settlement Agreement does not, however, provide the Company with a full and complete release from potential further liability for remediation of the groundwater contamination. After the Company has expended the Settlement Amount, if the NMED can establish through binding arbitration that the Santa Fe Station is the source of the contamination, the Company could be required to perform further remediation that is determined to be necessary. The Company continues to dispute any contention that the Santa Fe Station is the source of the groundwater contamination and believes that insufficient data exists to identify the sources of groundwater contamination. The Company has completed an aquifer characterization report and a groundwater quality report associated with the 40 day reactivation of the adjacent Santa Fe supply well in July and August of 1996. These reports strongly suggest the groundwater contamination does not originate from the Santa Fe Station site and has been drawn under the site by the pumping of the Santa Fe supply well. In addition, other urban wells in Santa Fe are likely vulnerable to contamination from off-site sources. The Company is working to provide a remedial approach plan by April 1997 in accordance with the amended Settlement Agreement.

Person Station

The Company, in compliance with the NMED's Corrective Action Directive, determined that groundwater contamination exists in the deep and shallow water aquifers. The Company is required to delineate the extent of the contamination and remediate the contaminants in the groundwater. The extent of the contaminated plume in the deep water aquifer was assessed and results were reported to the NMED. The Company also proposed revised remedial options to the NMED. The Company is awaiting a final response from the NMED. The Company's current estimate to decommission its retired fossil-fueled plants includes approximately $10.9 million to complete the groundwater remediation program at Person Station. As part of the financial assurance requirement of the Person Station Hazardous Permit, the Company posted a $5.1 million performance bond with a trustee. The remediation program continues on schedule.

Gas Operations

Gas Wellhead Pit Remediation

The New Mexico Oil Conservation Commission issued an order, effective on January 14, 1993, that affects the gas gathering facilities located in the San Juan Basin in northwestern New Mexico. The BLM has issued a similar order. The order prohibits the further discharge of fluids associated with the production of natural gas into unlined earthen pits in specified areas (designated as "vulnerable areas") in the San Juan Basin. The order also required the submission of closure plans for the pits where further discharge was prohibited. The Company has complied with the orders and has submitted and received approval for pit closures from the New Mexico Oil Conservation Division ("OCD") and the BLM.

These gas gathering facilities were sold to Williams on June 30, 1995. As a part of the sale agreement, the Company agreed to cease discharge to unlined earthen pits in designated vulnerable areas and to retain the responsibility for pit closures for a stated period of time and to a stated dollar amount. The Company has assessed the pits in accordance with OCD/BLM directives, and is now in the process of closing pits and remediating them, if necessary, at wellhead locations within the designated vulnerable areas. The Company has submitted a groundwater management plan to the OCD and has received approval of the plan, and is proceeding with delineation of groundwater contamination and, as necessary, cleanup, in accordance with the approved plan. The Company will address groundwater contamination within the dollar and time limitations imposed by the sale agreement with Williams, and in accordance with the requirements of the OCD.

In March 1995, the Jicarilla Apache Tribe ("Jicarilla") enacted an ordinance directing that unlined surface impoundments located within environmentally sensitive areas be remediated and closed by December 1996, and that all other unlined surface impoundments on Jicarilla's lands be remediated and closed by December 1998. In 1995, the Company received a claim for indemnification by Williams, the purchaser of the Company's gas gathering and processing assets, for the environmental work required to comply with the Jicarilla ordinance. The Company submitted a closure/remediation plan to the Jicarilla, which was approved. The Company's remediation work pursuant to the plan commenced in mid-1996, and the costs of remediation are being charged against the $10.6 million indemnification cap contained in the purchase and sale agreement between the Company and Williams. The Company met the requirement for closing and remediating pits within the environmentally sensitive area by December 1996, and anticipates closing and remediating all other pits associated with the gas gathering and processing assets by the December 1998 deadline specified in the ordinance.

COAL FUEL SUPPLY

In July 1996, the Company was notified by BHP, fuel supplier to the SJGS, that the Navajo Nation has proposed to select certain properties within the San Juan and La Plata Mines (the "mining properties") pursuant to the Navajo-Hopi Land Settlement Act of 1974 (the "Act"). The mining properties are operated by BHP under leases from the BLM and comprise a portion of the fuel supply for SJGS. An administrative appeal by BHP is pending. In the appeal, BHP expressed concern that transfer of the mining properties to the Navajo Nation may subject the mining operations to taxation and additional regulation by the Navajo Nation, both of which could increase the price of coal that might potentially be passed on to SJGS through the existing Coal Sale Agreement. A stay of all actions by the BLM has been ordered by the Interior Board of Land Appeals pending resolution of the issues on appeal. The Company is monitoring closely the appeal and other developments on this issue and will continue to assess potential impacts to SJGS and the Company's operations. Currently, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter but does not believe it will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

33

ALBUQUERQUE FRANCHISE ISSUES

The Company's non-exclusive electric service franchise with the City of Albuquerque (the "City") expired in 1992. The franchise agreement provided for the Company's use of City rights-of-way for placement of electric facilities. The Company provides service to the area which contributed 43.0% of the Company's total 1996 electric operating revenues. The absence of a franchise does not change the Company's right and obligation to serve those customers under state law. The Company continues to collect and pay franchise fees to the City.

In 1991, the New Mexico Supreme Court ("Court") ruled that a city can negotiate rates for its citizens in addition to its own facility uses. The Court also ruled that any contracts with utilities for electric rates are a matter of statewide concern and subject to approval, disapproval or modification by the NMPUC. In addition, the Court reaffirmed the NMPUC's exclusive power to designate providers of utility service within a municipality and confirmed that municipal franchises are not licenses to serve but rather provide access to public rights-of-way.

In October 1996, a local news media reported that the Mayor of the City had met with two NMPUC Commissioners about his concern that state efforts regarding retail wheeling were proceeding too slowly and that he was evaluating the City's option to implement Article XV of the City Charter requiring competitive bids for electric franchises. The Company has taken the position that the NMPUC does not have authority to order retail wheeling. (See "OVERVIEW -- Restructuring the Electric Utility Industry".)

Although a measure designed to start municipalization activities in Albuquerque was defeated by the City Council, the City continues to maintain its options by advocating industry restructuring and monitoring the municipalization activities of the City of Las Cruces. In September 1996, the Court agreed to decide the question. In August 1996, in an action brought seeking condemnation, the Federal Magistrate Court ruled that the City of Las Cruces had failed to prove that condemnation would not materially impair service by El Paso to customers outside Las Cruces and certified the question of whether state law allows condemnation of an electric utility to the Court.

The Company filed a "friend of the Court" brief in support of El Paso. The Court heard oral argument on February 11, 1997, and took the case under advisement. The Company is currently unable to predict the outcome of these matters, but does not anticipate any material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operation.

ACCOUNTING FOR THE EFFECTS OF CERTAIN TYPES OF REGULATION

As described in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company complies with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 71, Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation. In the event the Company determines that it no longer meets the criteria for following SFAS No. 71, the accounting impact would be an extraordinary, non-cash charge to operations of an amount that could be material. Criteria that may give rise to the discontinuance of SFAS No. 71 include (1) increasing competition that restricts the Company's ability to establish prices to recover specific costs and (2) a significant change in the manner in which rates are set by regulators from cost-based regulation to another form of regulation. The Company periodically reviews these criteria to ensure that the continuing application of SFAS No. 71 is appropriate. Based on a current evaluation of the various factors and conditions that are expected to impact future cost recovery, the Company believes that its regulatory assets (net of related regulatory liabilities), including those related to generation, are probable of future recovery.

34

PVNGS -- STEAM GENERATOR TUBES

APS, as the operating agent of PVNGS, has encountered tube cracking in the steam generators and has taken, and will continue to take, remedial actions that it believes have slowed further tube degradation. The steam generator tubes in each unit continue to be inspected in conjunction with their respective outages. APS currently believes that the PVNGS steam generators in Units 1 and 3 are capable of operating for their designed life of forty years; although, at some point, long-term economic considerations may warrant examination of possible steam generator replacement. APS's ongoing analyses indicate that it will be economically desirable for APS to replace the Unit 2 steam generators, which have been most affected by tube cracking, in five to ten years. APS expects that the steam generator replacement can be accomplished within financial parameters established before replacement was a consideration. Based on APS's analyses, the Company believes that its share of the replacement costs (in 1996 dollars and including installation and replacement power costs) would be approximately $15.3 million, most of which would be incurred after the year 2000. APS expects that the replacement would be performed in conjunction with a normal refueling outage in order to limit additional incremental outage time to approximately 50 days. APS believes that replacement of the Unit 2 steam generators within five to ten years will be economically desirable. However, a formal decision as to when to replace the steam generators has not been made by the PVNGS participants.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Environmental Remediation Liabilities. Effective January 1, 1997, the Company will adopt the provisions for Statement of Position ("SOP") 96-1, Environmental Remediation Liabilities. This Statement provides authoritative guidance for recognition, measurement, display and disclosure of environmental remediation liabilities in financial statements. The Company previously recorded environmental liabilities of $24.0 million for its retired fossil-fueled plants. Approximately $13.7 million of the $24.0 million has been expended through December 31, 1996. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SOP 96-1 will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities. In June 1996, FASB issued SFAS No. 125. This Statement establishes, among other things, new criteria for determining whether a transfer of financial assets should be accounted for as a sale or as a pledge of collateral in a secured borrowing. SFAS No. 125 also establishes new accounting requirements for pledged collateral. SFAS No. 125 is effective for all transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996, and is to be applied prospectively, and earlier or retroactive application is not permitted.

Nuclear Plant Decommissioning. The staff of the SEC has questioned certain of the current accounting practices of the electric utility industry regarding the recognition, measurement and classification of decommissioning costs for nuclear generating stations in financial statements of electric utilities. In response to these questions, the FASB has added a project to its agenda to review the accounting for closure and removal costs, including decommissioning of nuclear power plants. If current electric utility industry accounting practices for nuclear power plant decommissioning are changed, the annual provision for decommissioning could increase relative to 1996, and the estimated cost for decommissioning could be recorded as a liability (rather than as accumulated depreciation), with recognition of an increase in the cost of the related nuclear power plant. The Company does not believe that such changes, if required, would have a material adverse effect on results of operations due to the fact that decommissioning costs related to its two leased nuclear units are currently being recovered in rates.

35

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act") provides a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their companies without fear of litigation so long as those statements are identified as forward-looking and are accompanied by meaningful, cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the statement. Accordingly, the Company hereby identifies the following important factors which could cause the Company's actual financial results to differ materially from any such results which might be projected, forecasted, estimated or budgeted by the Company in forward-looking statements: (i) adverse actions of utility regulatory commissions, (ii) utility industry restructuring, (iii) failure to recover stranded assets, (iv) failure to obtain new customers or retain existing customers, (v) inability to carry out marketing and sales plans,
(vi) adverse impacts resulting from environmental regulations, (vii) loss of favorable fuel supply contracts, (viii) failure to obtain water rights and rights-of-way, (ix) operational and environmental problems at generating stations and (x) failure to maintain adequate transmission capacity.

Many of the foregoing factors discussed have been addressed in the Company's previous filings with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The foregoing review of factors pursuant to the Act should not be construed as exhaustive or as any admission regarding the adequacy of disclosures made by the Company prior to the effective date of the Act.

MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The management of Public Service Company of New Mexico (the "Company") is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and include amounts that are based on informed estimates and judgments of management. Management maintains a system of internal accounting controls which it believes is adequate to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded, transactions are executed in accordance with management authorization and the financial records are reliable for preparing the consolidated financial statements. The system of internal accounting controls is supported by written policies and procedures, by a staff of internal auditors who conduct comprehensive internal audits and by the selection and training of qualified personnel. The board of directors, through its audit committee comprised entirely of outside directors, meets periodically with management, internal auditors and the Company's independent auditors to discuss auditing, internal control and financial reporting matters. To ensure their independence, both the internal auditors and independent auditors have full and free access to the audit committee.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Public Service Company of New Mexico:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and statements of capitalization of Public Service Company of New Mexico (a New Mexico corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, retained earnings (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Public Service Company of New Mexico and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY OF NEW MEXICO AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Public Service Company of New Mexico (the "Company") is an investor-owned utility company engaged in the generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity. The Company provides retail electric service to a large area of north central New Mexico, including the cities of Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Rio Rancho, Las Vegas, Belen and Bernalillo. The Company provides service to customers in the City of Albuquerque without a franchise agreement, which contributes approximately one-half of the Company's total electric operating revenues. The absence of a franchise does not change the Company's right and obligation to serve these customers under state law. The Company also provides retail electric service to Deming in southwestern New Mexico and to Clayton in northeastern New Mexico. The Company is also engaged in the transmission, distribution and sale of natural gas within the State of New Mexico. The Company distributes natural gas to most of the major communities in New Mexico, including Albuquerque and Santa Fe. The Company is also engaged in the operation and management of the City of Santa Fe's Water System and is pursuing new business activities in the energy and utility related services area.

Systems of Accounts

The Company maintains its accounts for utility operations primarily in accordance with the uniform systems of accounts prescribed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") and the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners ("NARUC"), and adopted by the New Mexico Public Utility Commission ("NMPUC").

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and subsidiaries in which it owns a majority voting interest. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual recorded amounts could differ from those estimated.

Utility Plant

Utility plant, with the exception of Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station ("PVNGS") Unit 3 and the Company's purchased 22% beneficial interests in the PVNGS Units 1 and 2 leases, is stated at original cost, which includes capitalized payroll-related costs such as taxes, pension and other fringe benefits, administrative costs and an allowance for funds used during construction . Utility plant includes certain electric assets not subject to regulation. The results of operations of such electric assets are included in operating income.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

It is Company policy to charge repairs and minor replacements of property to maintenance expense and to charge major replacements to utility plant. Gains or losses resulting from retirements or other dispositions of operating property in the normal course of business are credited or charged to the accumulated provision for depreciation.

Depreciation and Amortization

Provision for depreciation and amortization of utility plant is made at annual straight-line rates approved by the NMPUC. The average rates used are as follows:

                                          1996          1995          1994
                                      ------------   -----------   -----------

Electric plant.....................        3.32%         3.32%         3.01%
Gas plant..........................        3.27%         3.21%         3.15%
Water plant (1)....................           --            --         2.68%
Common plant (2)...................           --            --         4.94%

(1) Water plant was sold in July 1995 (see note 12).
(2) As a result of the water plant sale, common plant was transferred to electric plant.

Effective January 1, 1995, depreciation rates were revised and include a provision for the recovery of fossil-fueled plant decommissioning costs approved by the NMPUC in 1994.

The provision for depreciation of certain equipment is charged to clearing accounts and subsequently allocated to operating expenses or construction projects based on the use of the equipment. Depreciation of non-utility property is computed on the straight-line method. Amortization of nuclear fuel is computed based on the units of production method.

Nuclear Decommissioning

The Company accounts for nuclear decommissioning costs on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the facilities. Such amounts are based on the net present value of expenditures estimated to be required to decommission the plant.

Fuel and Purchased Power Adjustment Clause ("FPPCAC")

The Company's FPPCAC for its retail customers was eliminated in November 1994. A base fuel cost was incorporated with the overall rates approved by the NMPUC. The Company uses the deferral method of accounting for fuel and purchased power costs for its firm-requirements wholesale customers. Such amounts are reflected in subsequent periods under a FPPCAC approved by the FERC.

December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Purchased Gas Adjustment Clause ("PGAC")

The Company uses the deferral method of accounting for gas purchase costs which are settled in subsequent periods under gas adjustment clauses. Future recovery of these costs is subject to approval by the NMPUC.

Amortization of Debt Discount, Premium and Expense

Discount, premium and expense related to the issuance of long-term debt are amortized over the lives of the respective issues. In connection with the retirement of long-term debt, such amounts associated with resources subject to NMPUC regulation are amortized over the lives of the respective issues. Amounts associated with the Company's firm-requirements wholesale customers and its resources excluded from NMPUC retail rates are recognized immediately as expense or income as they are incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company reports income tax expense in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. SFAS No. 109 requires deferred income taxes for temporary differences between book and tax to be recorded using the liability method. Deferred income taxes are computed using the statutory tax rates scheduled to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. Current NMPUC jurisdictional rates include the tax effects of the majority of these temporary differences (normalization). Recovery of reversing temporary differences previously accounted for under the flow-through method is also included in rates charged to customers. For regulated operations, any changes in tax rates applied to accumulated deferred income taxes may not be immediately recognized because of ratemaking and tax accounting provisions contained in the Tax Reform Act of 1986. For items accorded flow-through treatment under NMPUC orders, deferred income taxes and the future ratemaking effects of such taxes, as well as corresponding regulatory assets and liabilities, are recorded in the financial statements.

Investments in Debt and Equity Securities

Certain of the Company's other investments are classified as Held-to-Maturities under the terms of SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", and measured at amortized cost in the statement of financial position.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Accounting Standards

Environmental Remediation Liabilities. Effective January 1, 1997, the Company will adopt the provisions of Statement of Position ("SOP") 96-1, Environmental Remediation Liabilities. This Statement provides authoritative guidance for recognition, measurement, display and disclosure of environmental remediation liabilities in financial statements. The Company previously recorded environmental liabilities of $24.0 million for its retired fossil-fueled plants. Approximately $13.7 million of the $24.0 million has been expended as of December 31, 1996. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SOP 96-1 will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities. In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities. This Statement establishes, among other things, new criteria for determining whether a transfer of financial assets should be accounted for as a sale or as a pledge of collateral in a secured borrowing. SFAS No. 125 also establishes new accounting requirements for pledged collateral. SFAS No. 125 is effective for all transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996, and is to be applied prospectively, and earlier or retroactive application is not permitted.

Nuclear Plant Decommissioning. The staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has questioned certain of the current accounting practices of the electric utility industry regarding the recognition, measurement and classification of decommissioning costs for nuclear generating stations in financial statements of electric utilities. In response to these questions, the FASB has added a project to its agenda to review the accounting for closure and removal costs, including decommissioning of nuclear power plants. If current electric utility industry accounting practices for nuclear power plant decommissioning are changed, the annual provision for decommissioning could increase relative to 1996, and the estimated cost for decommissioning could be recorded as a liability (rather than as accumulated depreciation), with recognition of an increase in the cost of the related nuclear power plant. The Company does not believe that such changes, if required, would have a material adverse effect on results of operations due to the fact that decommissioning costs related to its two leased nuclear units are currently being recovered in rates.

(2) Risks and Uncertainties

The electric utility industry continues to be in a period of fundamental change intended to promote a competitive environment in the retail and wholesale energy marketplaces. Legislators and regulators at both the state and Federal levels continue to consider how to promote competition among suppliers of electricity and how to provide customers with choice among suppliers.

(2) Risks and Uncertainties (Continued)

At the state level, the Integrated Water and Resource Planning Committee of the New Mexico State Legislature (the "IWRPC") held hearings during 1996 which focused on the issues related to restructuring of the electric industry in New Mexico. The Company participated extensively in these hearings and, at the invitation of the IWRPC, submitted draft legislation to be used as a starting point for the various parties to consider regarding the electric industry restructuring. The draft legislation would allow an electric utility to recover all of its prudently incurred stranded costs and also provide a path for business flexibility. The AG testified that retail competition should not be introduced at this time but, if it is, there should be independent ownership of generation, transmission and distribution facilities, due to market power concerns. At its November 1996 meeting, the IWRPC voted not to recommend restructuring legislation in the 1997 session but instead to recommend continuation of the IWRPC and a study of the tax effects of restructuring. The IWRPC also sent a letter to the NMPUC calling for no restructuring to be undertaken by the NMPUC without legislative approval. The New Mexico legislative session is currently in progress and the Company will closely monitor any legislative action regarding restructuring of the electric utility industry.

During 1996, the NMPUC conducted a series of workshop meetings in its "Investigation of Restructuring of Regulation of the Electric Industry in New Mexico". The Company actively participated in these workshops and presented the Company's position on various matters related to industry restructuring. The Company provided data and analysis in the areas of market structure, measurement and collection of stranded costs, market power, potential changes in Company structure and issues related to the transition phase. In conjunction with the workshop meetings, the NMPUC ordered all utilities under its jurisdiction to file their estimates of stranded costs, absent any recovery method being adopted, based on the Texas Public Utility Commission Economic Cost Over Market
("ECOM") model. The Company, in its filing, presented two methodologies: (i)
using the ECOM model, the Company's stranded cost estimates run from $657 million for a 1998 full retail access case to $119 million for a 2002 full retail access case, and (ii) using a second methodology, based upon the difference between the Company's costs of existing generation and the costs of new combined cycle and combustion turbine units to serve the same load, the Company's costs above the level of new gas units were estimated at $748 million for a 1998 full retail access case to $327 million for a 2002 full retail access case. The Company advised the NMPUC that the results of the ECOM model are highly sensitive to various assumptions, primarily projections of future gas prices. To date, the NMPUC has not acted on the requested information.

As of December 31, 1996, substantially all of the Company's regulatory assets and regulatory liabilities are being recovered in rates charged to customers or have been addressed in a regulatory proceeding. If a portion of the Company's operations under the NMPUC jurisdiction becomes no longer subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 71, a write off of related regulatory assets and liabilities would be required, unless some form of transition cost recovery (refund) continues through rates established and collected for the Company's remaining regulated operations.

(3) Regulatory Assets and Liabilities (Continued)

Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of. This statement imposes a stricter criterion for regulatory assets by requiring that such assets be probable of future recovery at each balance sheet date. Based on the current regulatory structure in which the Company operates, adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. However, the Company's ability to meet the criterion may change in the future as competitive factors influence wholesale and retail pricing in this industry.

Off-Balance Sheet Items

The purchase of the PVNGS LOBs is treated by the rating agencies as a defeasance of the bonds thereby resulting in an improvement to these ratios. The purchase of the PVNGS LOBs has also increased earnings in the form of interest income.

The Company's policy is to fund actuarially-determined contributions. Contributions to the plan reflect benefits attributed to employees' years of service to date and also for services expected to be provided in the future. Plan assets primarily consist of common stock, fixed income securities, cash equivalents and real estate. The components of pension cost (in thousands) are as follows:

Plan assets consist primarily of domestic common stock, fixed income securities and cash equivalents.

The weighted average discount rate used to measure the projected benefit obligation was 7.75% and 7.50% for 1996 and 1995, respectively, and the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was 8.75% for 1996 and 1995. The health care cost trend rate was 8.0%, 8.0% and 7.5% for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The effect of a 1% increase in the health care trend rate assumption would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1996 by approximately $10.4 million and the aggregate service and interest cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for 1996 by approximately $1.1 million. The health care cost trend rate was expected to decrease to 6.0% by 2010 and to remain at that level thereafter.

(7) Employee and Post-Employment Benefits (Continued)

Executive Retirement Program

The Company has an executive retirement program for a group of management employees. The program was intended to attract, motivate and retain key management employees. The Company's projected benefit obligation for this program, as of December 31, 1996, was $18.3 million, of which the accumulated and vested benefit obligation was $17.4 million. As of December 31, 1996, the Company has recognized an additional liability of $2.1 million for the amount of unfunded accumulated benefits in excess of accrued pension costs. The net periodic pension cost for 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $2.1 million, $2.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively. In 1989, the Company established an irrevocable grantor trust in connection with the executive retirement program. Under the terms of the trust, the Company may, but is not obligated to, provide funds to the trust, which was established with an independent trustee, to aid it in meeting its obligations under such program. Funds in the amount of approximately $10.1 million (fair market value of $13.9 million) are presently in trust. No additional funds have been provided to the trust since 1989.

Performance Stock Plan

The Company has a non-qualifying stock option plan, covering a group of management employees. Options are granted at the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant. Options granted through December 31, 1995, vested on June 30, 1996, have an exercise term of up to 10 years. All subsequent awards granted after December 31, 1995, shall vest three years from the grant date of the awards and the maximum number of options are five million shares through December 31, 2000. In addition, the Company has a Director Restricted Stock Retainer Plan. The number of option shares granted in 1996 under the restricted stock retainer plan was 4,000 shares with an exercise price of $5.50. No options under the restricted stock retainer plan were exercised during 1996.

The option price of each option grant is determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following average assumptions used for grants in 1995 and 1996, respectively: dividend yield of 2.7% and 2.4%; expected volatility of 20% and 18%; risk-free interest rates of 5.5% and 5.59%; and expected lives of four years.

The Company applies APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in accounting for its plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its fixed stock option plan. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock based compensation plan been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the effect on the Company's pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share would not be material.

(8) Construction Program and Jointly-Owned Plants (Continued)

The PVNGS participants have insurance for public liability payments resulting from nuclear energy hazards to the full limit of liability under Federal law. This potential liability is covered by primary liability insurance provided by commercial insurance carriers in the amount of $200 million and the balance by an industry-wide retrospective assessment program. The maximum assessment per reactor under the retrospective rating program for each nuclear incident occurring at any nuclear power plant in the United States is approximately $79.3 million, subject to an annual limit of $10 million per incident. Based upon the Company's 10.2% interest in the three PVNGS units, the Company's maximum potential assessment per incident for all three units is approximately $24.3 million, with an annual payment limitation of $3 million per incident. The insureds under this liability insurance include the PVNGS participants and "any other person or organization with respect to his legal responsibility for damage caused by the nuclear energy hazard". If the funds provided by this retrospective assessment program prove to be insufficient, Congress could impose revenue raising measures on the nuclear industry to pay claims.

The PVNGS participants maintain "all-risk" (including nuclear hazards) insurance for nuclear property damage to, and decontamination of, property at PVNGS in the aggregate amount of approximately $2.75 billion as of January 1, 1997, a substantial portion of which must be applied to stabilization and decontamination. The Company has also secured insurance against portions of the increased cost of generation or purchased power and business interruption resulting from certain accidental outages of any of the three PVNGS units if the outage exceeds 21 weeks. The Company is a member of two industry mutual insurers. These mutual insurers provide both the "all-risk" and increased cost of generation insurance to the Company. In the event of adverse losses experienced by these insurers, the Company is subject to an assessment. The Company's maximum share of any assessment is approximately $3.9 million per year.

The Company has a program for funding its share of decommissioning costs for PVNGS. Under this program, the Company makes a series of annual deposits to an external trust over the estimated useful life of each unit with the trust funds being invested under a plan which allows the accumulation of funds largely on a tax-deferred basis through the use of life insurance policies on certain current and former employees. The results of the 1995 decommissioning study indicate that the Company's share of the PVNGS decommissioning costs will be approximately $147.5 million, a decrease from $157.8 million based on the previous 1992 study (both amounts are stated in 1995 dollars).

The Company determined that a supplemental investment program will be needed as a result of both historical cost increases and the lower than anticipated performance of the existing program. On September 29, 1995, the Company filed a request for permission from the NMPUC to establish a qualified tax advantaged trust for PVNGS Units 1 and 2. Due to Internal Revenue Service regulations, PVNGS Unit 3 will remain in a non-qualified trust.

Pursuant to NMPUC approval the Company funded an additional $12.5 million into the qualified and non-qualified funds. The estimated market value of the trusts, including the current life insurance policies, at the end of 1996 was approximately $25.6 million.

(9) Long-Term Power Contracts and Franchises

The Company had two long-term contracts for the purchase of electric power. Under a contract with M-S-R, which expired in early 1995, the Company was obligated to pay certain minimum amounts and a variable component representing the expenses associated with the energy purchased and debt service costs associated with capital improvements. Total payments under this contract amounted to approximately $14 million for 1995 and $42 million for 1994.

The Company has a power purchase contract with Southwestern Public Service Company ("SPS") for up to 200 MW, expiring in May 2011. The Company may reduce its purchases from SPS by 25 MW annually upon three years' notice. The Company provided such notice to reduce the purchase by 25 MW in 1999 and by an additional 25 MW in 2000. Also, the Company has 39 MW of contingent capacity obtained from El Paso Electric Company under a transmission capacity for generation capacity trade arrangement that increases to 70 MW from 1998 through 2003. In addition, the Company is interconnected with various utilities for economy interchanges and mutual assistance in emergencies.

The Company anticipates the need for approximately 100 to 200 MW of additional capacity in the 1998 through 2000 timeframe. To meet this need, on October 4, 1996, the Company entered into a long-term power purchase contract with the Cobisa-Person Limited Partnership ("PLP") to purchase approximately 100 MW of unit contingent peaking capacity from a gas turbine generating unit for a period of 20 years, with an option to renew for an additional five years. The gas turbine generating unit will be constructed and operated by PLP and will be located on the Company's retired Person Generating Station site located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The site for the generating unit was chosen, in part, to provide needed benefits to the Company's constrained transmission system. Depending on the regulatory timing of NMPUC and FERC approvals and the securing of necessary permits, construction could start in August 1998 with commercial operation beginning by May 1999. The operational date was chosen to satisfy both resource and transmission needs for the Company's jurisdictional load. During October 1996, the Company filed a request for approval from the NMPUC and PLP filed its application for requisite state commission determinations from the NMPUC. These two applications were consolidated by the NMPUC. In December 1996, the NMPUC established a procedural schedule for the consolidated applications. The Company and PLP have requested a final order from the NMPUC by July 31, 1997. Thereafter, certain actions from the FERC will be required, including approval of PLP's status as an "exempt wholesale generator" under Section 32 of the Public Utility Holding Company Act.

In addition to the long-term power purchase contract with PLP, the Company is pursuing other options to ensure its additional capacity needs are met.

(10) Lease Commitments

The Company leases Units 1 and 2 of PVNGS, transmission facilities, office buildings and other equipment under operating leases. The lease expense for PVNGS is $66.3 million per year over base lease terms expiring in 2015 and 2016. Prior to 1992, the aggregate lease expense for the PVNGS leases was $84.6 million per year over the base lease terms; however, this amount was reduced by the purchase of approximately 22% of the beneficial interests in the PVNGS Units 1 and 2 leases (see note 8). Each PVNGS lease contains renewal and fair market value purchase options at the end of the base lease term. Covenants in the Company's PVNGS Units 1 and 2 lease agreements limit the Company's ability, without consent of the owner participants and bondholders in the lease transactions, (i) to enter into any merger or consolidation, or (ii) except in connection with normal dividend policy, to convey, transfer, lease or dividend more than 5% of its assets in any single transaction or series of related transactions.

Future minimum operating lease payments (in thousands) at December 31, 1996 are:

Electric Operations

Santa Fe Station

The Company and the New Mexico Environmental Department ("NMED") have conducted investigations of the groundwater contamination detected beneath the former Santa Fe Generating Station site to determine the source of the contamination. The Company has been and is continuing to cooperate with the NMED regarding site investigations and remedial planning pursuant to a settlement agreement between the Company and the NMED. In June 1996, the Company received a letter from the NMED, indicating that the NMED believes the Company is the source of gasoline contamination in a municipal well supplying the City of Santa Fe and groundwater underlying the Santa Fe Station. Further, the NMED letter stated that the Company was required to proceed with interim remediation of the contamination pursuant to the New Mexico Water Quality Control Commission ("NMWQCC") regulations.

In July 1996, the Company filed an appeal with the NMWQCC protesting the determination and directives contained in the NMED's June 1996 letter. Subsequently, negotiation meetings were conducted between the Company and the NMED for a resolution of the groundwater contamination issue.

On October 3, 1996, the Company and the NMED signed an Amendment to the Settlement Agreement concerning the groundwater contamination. As part of the Amendment, the Company agreed to spend approximately $1.2 million ("Settlement Amount") for certain costs related to sampling, monitoring, and development and implementation of a remediation plan. The remediation plan is to be developed jointly by the Company and the NMED. Since the contamination affects a municipal well supplying the City of Santa Fe, the cooperation of the City of Santa Fe will also be sought in the development of the plan. The amended Settlement Agreement does not, however, provide the Company with a full and complete release from potential further liability for remediation of the groundwater contamination. After the Company has expended the Settlement Amount, if the NMED can establish through binding arbitration that the Santa Fe Station is the source of the contamination, the Company could be required to perform further remediation that is determined to be necessary. The Company continues to dispute any contention that the Santa Fe Station is the source of the groundwater contamination and believes that insufficient data exists to identify the sources of groundwater contamination. The Company has completed an aquifer characterization report and a groundwater quality report associated with the 40 day reactivation of the adjacent Santa Fe supply well in July and August of 1996. These reports strongly suggest the groundwater contamination does not originate from the Santa Fe Station site and has been drawn under the site by the pumping of the Santa Fe supply well. In addition, other urban wells in Santa Fe are likely vulnerable to contamination from off-site sources. The Company is working to provide a remedial approach plan by April 1997 in accordance with the amended Settlement Agreement.

Person Station

The Company, in compliance with the NMED's Corrective Action Directive, determined that groundwater contamination exists in the deep and shallow water aquifers. The Company is required to delineate the extent of the contamination and remediate the contaminants in the groundwater. The extent of the contaminated plume in the deep water aquifer was assessed and results were reported to the NMED. The Company also proposed revised remedial options to the NMED. The Company is awaiting a final response from the NMED. The Company's current estimate to decommission its retired fossil-fueled plants includes approximately $10.9 million to complete the groundwater remediation program at Person Station. As part of the financial assurance requirement of the Person Station Hazardous Permit, the Company posted a $5.1 million performance bond with a trustee. The remediation program continues on schedule.

Gas Operations

Gas Wellhead Pit Remediation

The New Mexico Oil Conservation Commission issued an order, effective on January 14, 1993, that affects the gas gathering facilities located in the San Juan Basin in northwestern New Mexico. The Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") has issued a similar order. The order prohibits the further discharge of fluids associated with the production of natural gas into unlined earthen pits in specified areas (designated as "vulnerable areas") in the San Juan Basin. The order also required the submission of closure plans for the pits where further discharge was prohibited. The Company has complied with the orders and has submitted and received approval for pit closures from the New Mexico Oil Conservation Division ("OCD") and the BLM.

These gas gathering facilities were sold to Williams Gas Processing-Blanco Inc., a subsidiary of Williams Field Services Group, Inc., of Tulsa Oklahoma ("Williams") on June 30, 1995. As a part of the sale agreement, the Company agreed to cease discharge to unlined earthen pits in designated vulnerable areas and to retain the responsibility for pit closures for a stated period of time and to a stated dollar amount (see note 12). The Company has assessed the pits in accordance with OCD/BLM directives, and is now in the process of closing pits and remediating them, if necessary, at wellhead locations within the designated vulnerable areas. The Company has submitted a groundwater management plan to the OCD and has received approval of the plan, and is proceeding with delineation of groundwater contamination and, as necessary, cleanup, in accordance with the approved plan. The Company will address groundwater contamination within the dollar and time limitations imposed by the sale agreement with Williams, and in accordance with the requirements of the OCD.

In March 1995, the Jicarilla Apache Tribe ("Jicarilla") enacted an ordinance directing that unlined surface impoundments located within environmentally sensitive areas be remediated and closed by December 1996, and that all other unlined surface impoundments on Jicarilla's lands be remediated and closed by December 1998. In 1995, the Company received a claim for indemnification by Williams, the purchaser of the Company's gas gathering and processing assets, for the environmental work required to comply with the Jicarilla ordinance. The Company submitted a closure/remediation plan to the Jicarilla, which was approved. The Company's remediation work pursuant to the plan commenced in mid-1996, and the costs of remediation are being charged against the $10.6 million indemnification cap contained in the purchase and sale agreement between the Company and Williams. The Company met the requirement for closing and remediating pits within the environmentally sensitive area by December 1996, and anticipates closing and remediating all other pits associated with the gas gathering and processing assets by December 1998 deadline specified in the ordinance.

(12) Asset Sales

In 1995, the Company and its subsidiaries sold certain non-strategic gas assets for approximately $154 million to Williams, recognizing an after-tax gain of $12.8 million. This gain was adjusted to $11.8 million in 1996 due to an accrual for additional gas environmental costs. Under the NMPUC order approving the sale, the Company is required to share approximately $35 million from the sale with customers, which will be credited to the customers' bills over five years. After completion of the fifth year, the amount of gain will be recalculated to include actual expenses specified in the agreement, subject to NMPUC review. As of December 31, 1996, the Company has a remaining balance of $22.2 million for future years credit to the customers. In addition, the Company, in 1995, sold its water division to the City of Santa Fe for $51.2 million (exclusive of current assets netted against current liabilities), recognizing a after-tax gain of $6.4 million. Pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement, the Company, through its Energy Service Business Unit, will continue to operate the water utility up to four years from the closing date for a fee under a contract with the City of Santa Fe.

* Includes the resources excluded from NMPUC retail rates regulation.

On June 30, 1995, the Company sold substantially all of the gas gathering and processing assets of the Company and its gas subsidiaries and on July 3, 1995, the Company sold its water division (see note 12).

(14) Subsequent Events

On February 13, 1997, the NMPUC issued a final order in the gas rate case, ordering a rate decrease of $7.0 million. (See PART II, ITEM 7. -- "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- OTHER ISSUES FACING THE COMPANY -- GAS RATE CASE and NMPUC ORDER
- -- THE COMPANY'S JANUARY 1997 PGAC FACTOR VARIANCE REQUEST; ORDER TO FILE RETAIL ELECTRIC AND GAS RATE CASES" in this report.) In ordering the rate decrease, among other things, the NMPUC disallowed the recovery of certain regulatory assets. The Company strongly disagrees with the NMPUC's final order and filed an appeal with the New Mexico Supreme Court on February 17, 1997. The Company has evaluated the impacts of the rate reduction and has established appropriate reserves in its 1996 financial statements, pending the outcome of the appeal.

(14) Subsequent Events (Continued)

The NMPUC issued a final order in the Company's January 1997 PGAC Factor Variance Request on February 13, 1997. In the order, the NMPUC imposed, but suspended, a fine of $2.2 million to the Company due to an allegedly incorrect cost factor (too low) that was filed in November 1996. In addition, the NMPUC disallowed collection of $1.6 million of gas costs and ordered an independent audit to be conducted to review the Company's PGAC factor calculations for the period of December 1995 through January 1997. The NMPUC also ordered the docketing of two new investigations. The first, which requires a Company filing by March 15, 1997, will investigate whether or not the Company should exit the merchant function in providing gas supplies to customers. The second, will investigate the prudence of the Company's portfolio strategies and purchase practices. In addition, the NMPUC ordered the Company to file a new gas rate case by August 1, 1997, and also ordered the Company to file an electric retail rate case by May 1, 1997.

In the order, the NMPUC accused the Company of intentionally filing an inaccurate factor to avoid a hearing, thus, impairing the NMPUC's ability to investigate rising gas prices. The Company strongly disagrees with the NMPUC's final order and is evaluating its options, including rehearing and a possible appeal to the New Mexico Supreme Court.

(1) On June 30, 1995, the Company consummated the sale of substantially all of the gas gathering and processing assets of the Company and its gas subsidiaries to Williams. The Company recorded an after-tax gain of $12.8 million, or 31 cents per share. The gain amount was adjusted by $1.0 million or two cents per share in 1996 due to an accrual for additional gas environmental costs. On July 3, 1995, the Company consummated the sale of the Company's water division to the City of Santa Fe. The Company recorded an after-tax gain of $6.4 million, or 15 cents per share (see note 12).

(2) During the quarter ended December 31, 1996, the Company made a provision for loss of $10.0 million, net of tax ($.24 per common share), as a result of the gas rate order, pending the outcome of the appeal. In addition, the Company recorded an after-tax curtailment gain of $8.0 million ($.19 per common share) related to the change of the Company's defined benefit pension plan.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Lessor owns the Undivided interest and the Real Property Interest;

WHEREAS, the Lessee desires to lease the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest from the Lessor on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, the Lessor is willing to lease the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest to the Lessee on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Definitions.

For purposes hereof, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Appendix A hereto. References in this Facility Lease to sections, paragraphs and clauses are to sections, paragraphs and clauses in this Facility Lease unless otherwise indicated.

SECTION 2. Lease of Undivided Interest; Term; Personal Property.

(a) Lease of Undivided Interest. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Facility Lease, the Lessor hereby leases to the Lessee, and the Lessee hereby leases from the Lessor, the Undivided Interest.

(b) Term. The term of this Facility Lease shall begin on August 1, 1986, and shall end on the last day of the Lease Term.

(c) Personal Property. It is the express intention of the Lessor and the Lessee that title to the undivided Interest and every portion thereof be, and hereby is, severed, and shall be and remain severed, from title to the real estate constituting the Real Property Interest and the PVNGS Site. The Lessor and the Lessee intend that the Undivided Interest shall constitute personal property to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law.


(d) Description. The Real Property Interest is described on Schedule S hereto. The Undivided Interest is described on Schedule 6 hereto.

SECTION 3. Rent; Adjustments to Rent.

(a) Basic Rent. The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor, as basic rent (herein referred to as Basic Rent) for the Undivided Interest, the following amounts:

(i) on January 15, 1987, an amount equal to .0257526% of the Facility Cost for each day from, and including, August 1, 1986 to, but excluding, January 15, 1987, plus or minus the Rent Differential, if any, referred to in Section 3(h);

(ii) on July 15, 1987 and on each Basic Rent Payment Date thereafter to and including January 15, 2015, an amount equal to 4.635455% of Facility Cost, plus or minus the Rent Differential, if any, referred to in Section 3(h); and

(iii) if the Lessee shall elect the Renewal Term, on July 15, 2015 and on each Basic Rent Payment Date thereafter during the Renewal Term, an amount equal to one-half of an amount determined by dividing the aggregate amount of all payments of Basic Rent payable with respect to the Basic Lease Term pursuant to clause (ii) of this
Section 3(a) (taking into account any adjustments pursuant to Sections 3(d) and 3(e) and any increases or decreases pursuant to
Section 3(h)), by 56.


If an interest payment on any Note shall be due on a date other than a Basic Rent Payment Date, the Lessee shall pay additional Basic Rent on such date equal to such interest payment and such payment of additional Basic Rent shall be credited against the Basic Rent due on the Basic Rent Payment Date next succeeding. the date that such additional Basic Rent shall have been paid.

(b) Supplemental Rent. The Lessee shall pay the following amounts(herein referred to as Supplemental Rent):

(i) when due or, where no due date is specified, on demand, any amount (other than Basic Rent, Casualty Value, Termination Value and Special Casualty Value) which the Lessee assumes the obligation to pay or agrees to pay to the Lessor, the Owner Participant, the Indenture Trustee, the Collateral Trust Trustee or any Indemnitee under this Facility Lease, any other Transaction Document or the Collateral Trust Indenture, any amount which is to be paid under
Section 6.9, 7.6 or 8.7 of the Indenture and any amount that the Lessee is required to pay, or provide for the payment of, under
Section 8.5 of the Indenture;

(ii) when due, any amount payable hereunder as Casualty Value, Termination Value or Special Casualty Value, and an amount equal to any premium or prepayment penalty with respect to the Notes;

(iii) on demand and in any event on the Basic Rent Payment Date next succeeding the date such amounts shall be due and payable hereunder, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, interest (computed on the same basis as interest on the Notes is computed) at a rate per annum equal to (A) the Overdue Interest Rate, on that portion of the payment of Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent distributable pursuant to clause "first" of Section 5.1 or clause "second" of Section 5.3 of the Indenture (determined prior to the computation of interest on overdue payments referred to in such clauses), and (B) the Penalty Rate, on the balance of any such payment of Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent (including, in the case of both clause (i) and clause (ii) above, but without limitation, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, interest payable pursuant to this clause (iii)) not paid when due (without regard to any period of grace) for any period for which the same shall be overdue.


The Lessor shall have all rights, powers and remedies provided for in this Facility Lease, at law, in equity or otherwise, in the case of non-payment of Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent.

(c) Form of Payment. Subject to Section 11(b), each payment of Rent under this Facility Lease shall be made in immediately available funds no later than 11:00 a.m., local time at the place of receipt, on the date each such payment shall be due and payable hereunder and shall be paid either (A) in the case of payments other than Excepted Payments, to the Lessor at its address determined in accordance with Section 17, or at such other address as the Lessor may direct by notice in writing to the Lessee, or (B) in the case of Excepted Payments, to such Person as shall be entitled to receive such payment at such address as such Person may direct by notice in writing to the Lessee. If the date on which any payment of Rent is due hereunder shall not be a Business Day, the payment otherwise due thereon shall be due and payable on the preceding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if paid on the nominal date provided in this Facility Lease.

(d) Adjustments to Rent. Basic Rent and the schedules of Casualty Values, Termination Values and Special Casualty Values attached hereto shall be adjusted (upward or downward) to preserve Net Economic Return if there is any Change in Tax Law other than a Change in respect of a minimum tax; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of such downward adjustments shall not exceed the aggregate amount of such upward adjustments. Adjustments under this paragraph (d) shall be (1) made not more than once a year and (2) limited in the aggregate to the extent necessary such that the aggregate amount of Basic Rent theretofore and thereafter payable throughout the Basic Lease Term (computed for such purposes only without regard to any adjustments theretofore made pursuant to Section 3(e)) shall not be more than the following percentages of Basic Rent pay able throughout the Basic Lease Term (calculated as aforesaid): (i) 22% in the event that the Outstanding Notes have not been reoptimized in accordance with their terms and (ii) 15.5% if the Outstanding Notes have been reoptimized in full in accordance with their terms.


The provisions of this Section 3(d) to the contrary notwithstanding, if any Change in Tax Law is, or becomes, applicable to the transaction contemplated by this Facility Lease in consequence of the transfer of the Owner Participant's beneficial interest in the Trust (whether or not permitted by Section 15 of the Participation Agreement) or if such Change in Tax Law would not have been applicable to such transaction had no such transfer occurred, then no adjustment shall be, or be required to be, made pursuant to this paragraph (d); provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply to the initial transfer of the Owner Participant's beneficial interest in the Trust to one of its Affiliates.

(e) Further Adjustments. Basic Rent and the schedules of Casualty Values, Special Casualty Values and Termination Values attached hereto shall be appropriately adjusted (upward or downward) to preserve Net Economic Return if there is (i) any issuance of the Fixed Rate Note, (ii) any Supplemental Financing, (iii) the payment of Transaction Expenses in an amount which is other than 2.0% of the Purchase Price or (iv) any change in the Pricing Assumptions.


(f) Computation of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of an event requiring an adjustment to Basic Rent payable pursuant to clause (ii) of Section
3(a), and the schedules of Casualty Values, Special Casualty Values and Termination Values attached hereto, pursuant to paragraph (d) or (e) of this
Section 3, the Owner Participant shall make the necessary computations and furnish to the Lessee, the Loan Participant, the Lessor and the Indenture Trustee the revised amounts and percentages, which amounts and percentages shall be implemented upon delivery thereof and effective as of the date of occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment (taking into account any payment of Basic Rent already made) and shall remain effective until changed in consequence of any verification procedure set forth below. Such revised amounts and percentages shall be subject to verification (at the Lessee's request within 90 days after the Owner Participant furnishes the revised amounts to the Lessee, the Loan participant the Lessor and the Indenture Trustee) by the Owner Participant's nationally recognized independent public accountants, in which case such accountants shall either (i) confirm to the Lessee in writing that such revised amounts were computed on a basis consistent with the original calculations, or
(ii) compute and provide to the Lessee, the Lessor, the Owner Participant, the Loan Participant and the Indenture Trustee revised amounts and percentages which are on such a basis. The revised amounts and percentages, as so confirmed or computed if applicable, shall be conclusive and binding upon the Lessee, the Lessor, the Owner Participant, the Loan Participant and the Indenture Trustee. The cost of any such verification shall be borne by the Lessee unless such accountants shall require an adjustment to the revised amounts and percentages originally provided by the Owner Participant which differs by more than 10% from the adjustment so provided, in which case such cost shall be divided and paid by the Lessee and the Owner Participant in equal amounts. Each adjustment pursuant to paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section 3 may, but need not, be evidenced by the execution and delivery of a supplement to this Facility Lease in form and substance satisfactory to the Lessee and the Owner Participant, but shall be effective as provided herein without regard to the date on which such supplement to this Facility Lease is so executed and delivered. Any adjustment referred to in this Section 3 shall satisfy the provisions of Revenue Procedure 75-21, Revenue Procedure 75-28 and any other applicable statute, regulation, revenue procedure revenue ruling or technical information release relating to the subject matter of Revenue procedure 75-21 or Revenue Procedure 75-28, but, in the case of any upward adjustment, shall be no less than the adjustment otherwise required pursuant to this Section 3.


(g) Sufficiency of Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Facility Lease, any other Transaction Document or any Financing Document, (i) the amount of Basic Rent payable on each Basic Rent Payment Date shall be at least equal to the aggregate amount of principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest payable on all Notes then Outstanding and

(a) Required Insurance. The Lessee will use its best efforts to cause the Operating Agent to carry and maintain insurance required under the ANPP Participation Agreement and will make all payments required of the Lessee under the ANPP Participation Agreement in respect of such insurance. The Lessee will at all times maintain, directly or through the Operating Agent, policies of casualty and liability insurance with respect to the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest in such amounts and with such coverage as shall be adequate in accordance with prudent utility practice.

Any report with respect to clause (A)(iii)(2) may be made in reliance upon a similar schedule provided by the Lessee (a copy of which shall be attached) identifying the insurance required to be maintained under this Section 10. All insurance pro ceeds paid in respect of damage, destruction, loss, theft or other casualty to the Undivided Interest or the Real Property Interest shall be applied as provided in Section 9(g), (h) or (i), as the case may be, subject, however, to any priority allocations of such proceeds to decontamination and debris removal set forth in the insurance policies or required under Applicable Law.

(b) Permitted Insurance. Nothing in this Section 10 shall prohibit the Lessee from placing, at its expense, insurance on or with respect to the cost of purchasing replacement power, naming the Lessee as insured and/or loss payee, unless such insurance would conflict with or otherwise limit the availability of insurance to be provided or maintained in accordance with
Section 10(a). Nothing in this Section 10 shall prohibit the Lessor or the Owner Participant from placing at its expense other insurance on or with respect to Unit 1, the Undivided Interest or the Real Property Interest or the operation of Unit 1, naming the Lessor or the Owner Participant as insured and/or loss payee, unless such insurance would conflict with or otherwise limit the insurance to be provided or maintained in accordance with Section 10(a).


SECTION 11. Rights to Assign or Sublease.

(a) Assignment or Sublease by the Lessee. Without the prior written consent of the Lessor, the Lessee shall not assign, sublease, transfer or encumber (except for Permitted Liens) its leasehold interest in the Undivided Interest or the Real Property Interest under this Facility Lease.

Section 5, or (B) exercise the renewal option permitted by Section 12 (in the case of the notice delivered in respect of the expiration date of the Basic Lease Term) or the purchase option permitted by Section 13(b). If the notice specified in clause (B) of the preceding sentence is given three years prior to the expiration of the Basic Lease Term, then not later than two years prior to the expiration date of the Basic Lease Term, the Lessee will give the Lessor written notice of its election either to exercise the renewal option permitted by Section 12 or the purchase option permitted by Section 13(b). Any such election shall be irrevocable as to the Lessee but no such election shall be binding on the Lessor if, on the effective date thereof, an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or an Event of Loss or a Deemed Loss Event shall have occurred. Promptly after giving notice, (i) in case the renewal option has been elected, the Maximum Option Period shall be determined by the Appraisal Procedure, or (ii) in case the purchase option permitted by Section 13(b) has been elected, the Lessee and the Owner Participant shall agree upon the Fair Market Sales Value of the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest, or, if within three months after the date of the Lessee's notice the Lessee and the Owner Participant shall be unable so to agree, such value shall be determined by the Appraisal Procedure.

(b) Purchase Option at Expiration of the Lease Term. Subject to the notice requirements set forth in Section 13(a), unless a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or an Event of Loss or Deemed Loss Event shall have occurred, on the date of the expiration of the Basic Lease Term or the Renewal Term (if elected), the Lessee shall have the right to purchase the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest for a purchase price equal to the Fair Market Sales Value thereof.

(c) Special Purchase Event. If, at or before the Refunding Date, the Owner Participant shall reasonably determine (in consultation with Owner Participant's Special Counsel and Owner Participant's Special New Mexico Counsel) that the "weighted annual lease payment factor" (as such term is defined in the New Mexico Order and as the same may be reasonably interpreted by the Owner Participant, in consultation with counsel as aforesaid) for all "Lease Transactions" (as so defined) exceeds 11.5% or there is a material risk that the same will exceed 11.7% and so notifies the Lessor and the Lessee, or if the Lessee, in its reasonable judgment, determines that such a material risk exists, then the Lessee shall purchase the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest from the Lessor, on a Business Day specified by the Lessor to the Lessee by not less than 30 days prior notice, for a purchase price equal to the greater of (i) the Fair Market Sales Value thereof and (ii) Casualty value as of the Basic Rent Payment Date first preceding the date of such purchase or as of the date of such purchase, if such date shall be a Basic Rent Payment Date plus, if such purchase date shall not be a Basic Rent Payment Date, a pro ration of Basic Rent to the date of purchase.


(d) Purchase of the Undivided Interest; Payment, Etc. If the Lessee shall have elected or be required to purchase the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest pursuant to Section 13(b) or 13(c), payment by the Lessee of the purchase price for the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest shall be made in immediately available funds, whereupon the Lessor shall Transfer the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest to the Lessee.

SECTION 14. Termination for Obsolescence.

(a) Termination Notice. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, unless a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or an Event of Loss or a Deemed Loss Event shall have occurred, the Lessee shall have the option (provided that the Lessee shall have delivered to the Lessor an Officers' Certificate to the effect that the Lessee's Board of Directors has adopted and there is in effect a resolution determining that Unit 1 is (A) uneconomic to the Lessee or (B) economically obsolete for any reason; and provided that the Lessee shall be disposing of all its other leased interests in Unit 1), on at least 360 days' prior written notice a (Termination Notice) to the Lessor, the Owner Participant and the Indenture Trustee (which notice shall be irrevocable)) to terminate this Facility Lease on any Basic Rent Payment Date after January 15, 1998, and prior to January 15, 2012 (the Termination Date). If the Lessee shall give the Lessor a Termination Notice, the Lessee shall, as agent for the Lessor, use its best efforts to obtain cash bids for the purchase of the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest, together with the interest of the Lessor under the Assignment and Assumption. The Lessor shall also have the right to obtain such cash bids, either directly or through agents other than the Lessee. The Lessee shall certify to the Lessor within ten days after the Lessee's receipt of each bid (and, in any event, prior to the Termination Date) the amount and terms thereof and the name and address of the party (which shall not be the Lessee or any Affiliate of the Lessee) submitting such bid.

(b) Right of Lessor to Retain Undivided Interest upon Termination. The Lessor may elect to retain, rather than sell, the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest by giving notice to the Lessee and the Indenture Trustee prior to the Termination Date. It shall be a condition precedent to the Lessor's right to retain the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest that on or prior to the Termination Date the Lessor shall have paid (or made provision for payment) to the Indenture Trustee, the unpaid principal amount of all Notes Outstanding on such date and all premium, if any, and interest accrued and unpaid on the date of payment. If the Lessor elects to retain the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest pursuant to this Section 14(b), the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor on the Termination Date the Basic Rent and any other Rent due or accrued, as the case may be, to and including the Termination Date, together with an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Termination Value as of the Termination Date over the highest bona fide offer received pursuant to Section 14(a).


(c) Events on the Termination Date. If the Lessor has not elected to retain the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest as provided in
Section 14(b), on the Termination Date the Lessor shall (upon receipt of the sale price and all additional payments specified in the next sentence) Transfer the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest for cash to the bidder (which shall not be the Lessee or an Affiliate of the Lessee) that shall have submitted the highest bid on or before the Termination Date. The total sale price realized at such sale shall be retained by the Lessor (subject, however, to the terms of the Indenture and the requirement that there shall have been paid, or provision for payment made, to the Indenture Trustee the unpaid principal amount of all Notes Outstanding on the Termination Date and all premium, if any, and interest accrued and unpaid on the date of payment) and, in addition, on the Termination Date the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor (A) the excess, if any, of the Termination Value as of the Termination Date over the net sale price of the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest and (B) any Basic Rent due or accrued, as the case may be, to and including the Termination Date and shall pay to the Person or Persons entitled thereto all Supplemental Rent (other than Termination Value). Upon compliance by the Lessee with the applicable provisions of this Section 14, the obligation of the Lessee to pay Basic Rent due hereunder for any period after the Termination Date shall cease and the Basic Lease Term shall end on the Termination Date; provided, however, that, in the event of termination of this Facility Lease pursuant to this
Section 14, the obligations of the Lessee under the ANPP Participation Agreement (except as therein expressly provided) and the Assignment and Assumption shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be impaired by reason of any such termination. If, other than as a result of the Lessor's election to retain the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest as provided in Section
14(b), on or as of the Termination Date no such sale shall occur or the Lessee shall not have complied in full with this Section 14, this Facility Lease shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms without prejudice to the Lessee's right to exercise its rights under this Section 14 thereafter, except that the Lessee shall not be entitled to deliver another Termination Notice during the 3-year period following such Termination Date. The Lessor shall be under no duty to solicit bids, to inquire into the efforts of the Lessee to obtain bids or otherwise take any action in connection with any such sale other than, if the Lessor has not elected to retain the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest, to Transfer the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest to the purchaser named in the highest bid certified by the Lessee to the Lessor or obtained by the Lessor, against receipt of the payments provided for herein (but only if such purchaser has obtained all Governmental Action by the NRC necessary in connection therewith).


(d) Early Termination Notice. In the event that the Lessee shall fail to exercise its renewal option or purchase option within the time limit provided by Section 13(a), the Lessor shall have the option, on any Basic Rent Payment Date thereafter, on at least 120 days prior written notice (an Early Termination Notice) to the Lessee and the Indenture Trustee, to terminate this Facility Lease on the Basic Rent Payment Date specified in such notice (the Early Termination Date). Any Early Termination Notice may be revoked by the Lessor at any time on or prior to the Early Termination Date.

(e) Events on the Early Termination Date. On the Early Termination Date the Lessor shall, at its option, (i) Transfer the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest to the bidder (other than the Lessee or any Affiliate of the Lessee) selected by the Lessor or (ii) retain the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest. It shall be a condition precedent to the Lessor's right to sell or retain the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest that on or prior to the Early Termination Date the Lessor shall have paid (or made provision for payment) to the Indenture Trustee the unpaid principal amount of all Notes Outstanding on such date and all premium, if any, and interest accrued and unpaid on the date of payment. The total sale price realized at any such sale shall be retained by the Lessor and, in addition, on the Early Termination Date the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor any Basic Rent due or accrued, as the case may be, to and including the Early Termination Date, and shall pay to the Person or Persons entitled thereto all Supplemental Rent (other than Termination Value). Upon compliance by the Lessee with the applicable provisions of this Section 14, the obligation of the Lessee to pay Basic Rent due hereunder for any period after the Early Termination Date shall cease and the Lease Term shall end on the Early Termination Date; provided, however, that in the event of the termination of this Facility Lease pursuant to this Section 14, the obligations of the Lessee under the ANPP Participation Agreement (except as therein expressly provided) and the Assignment and Assumption shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be impaired by reason of any such termination.

SECTION 15. Events of Default.

(iv) the Lessee shall fail to perform its agreements set forth in
Section 5(a) hereof; or

(c)Remedies Cumulative. No remedy under paragraph (a) of this
Section 16 is intended to be exclusive, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy provided under such paragraph (a) or otherwise available to the Lessor at law or in equity; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Facility Lease, the remedy set forth in Section l6(a)(vii) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy under this Section 16 in the case of an Event of Default specified in clause
(iv) of Section 15, unless the Lessee is in default of its payment obliga tions under Section 16(a)(vii), in which case the Lessor may exercise its other remedies under Section 16(a); (except that the maximum amount payable by the Lessee in the event of the exercise by the Lessor of any of the remedies provided for in Section 16(a)(v) or (vi) shall not exceed the total amount payable by the Lessee under Section 16(a)(vii) minus the amount provided in subclause (2) of clause (A), (B) or (C) of such Section 16(a)(v), if the Lessor elects a remedy speci fied in said clause (A), (B) or (C), or the deficiency referred to in Section 16(a)(vi), if the Lessor elects the remedy specified in
Section 16(a)(vi) hereof). No express or implied waiver by the Lessor of any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent Default or Event of Default. The failure or delay of the Lessor in exercising any right granted it hereunder upon any occurrence of any of the contingencies set forth herein shall not constitute a waiver of any such right upon the continuation or recurrence of any such contingencies or similar contingencies and any single or partial exercise of any particular right by the Lessor shall not exhaust the same or constitute a waiver of any other right provided herein. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Lessee hereby waives any rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise which may require the Lessor to sell, lease or otherwise use the Undivided Interest or Unit 1 in mitigation of the Lessor's damages as set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section 16 or which may otherwise limit or modify any of the Lessor's rights and remedies provided in this Section 16.

(e) Special Cure Right of Lessee. In the event a "Notice of Default" is given under Section 15(iii), the Lessee may, on or prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default resulting therefrom, give written notice to the Lessor stating that the Lessee has elected to exercise the option (the Cure Option) provided in this Section 16(e), which election shall be irrevocable as to the Lessee. Promptly after the giving of such notice, the Lessee and the Owner Participant shall agree upon the Fair Market Sales Value of the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest or; if they shall be unable so to agree within one month after the date of the Lessee's notice, such value shall be determined by the Appraisal Procedure. On the Basic Rent Payment Date next following the date that such Fair Market Sales Value shall have been determined, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor all Rent due on such Basic Rent Payment Date, plus an amount equal to the excess of (i) the greater of such Fair Market Sales Value and the Casualty Value determined as of such Basic Rent Payment Date over


(ii) the unpaid principal amount of the Notes Outstanding on such date after giving effect to the payment, if any, of the principal installment due and payable on such date. Upon compliance in full by the Lessee with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (e) and assumption by the Lessee of all the obligations and liabilities of the Owner Trustee under the Indenture and the Notes pursuant to Section 3.9(b) of the Indenture, the Lessor shall (so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) Transfer the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest to the Lessee. If the Lessee shall not have assumed all the obligations and liabilities of the Owner Trustee under the Indenture and the Notes in accordance with Section 3.9(b) of the Indenture, but the Owner Participant shall have received under Section 5.2 of the Indenture all amounts required to be paid by the Lessee pursuant to this paragraph (e) (including interest, if any, thereon pursuant to Section
3(b)(iii)), the Lessor shall retain the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest subject to the terms of this Facility Lease and Section 7(b) (4) of the Participation Agreement; provided, however, that the obligation of the Lessee to pay further Basic Rent shall be reduced to an amount on each Basic Rent Payment Date equal to the aggregate amount of principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest then payable on all Notes then Outstanding and this Facility Lease shall become a secu rity agreement for all purposes of Applicable Law. The Lessee agrees to Use its best efforts to comply with the conditions respecting its assumption set forth in Section 3.9(b) of the Indenture and, failing such assumption, agrees to accept a transfer of the Owner Participant's right, title and interest in the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 7(b)(4) of the Participation Agreement.

In the event that the Lessor or the Owner Participant shall cure any default by the Lessee under the ANPP Participation Agreement, then (so long as an event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the Lessor, together with each other Person contributing to such cure, shall be entitled (to the full extent enforceable in accordance with Applicable Law) to receive the Generation Entitlement Share of the Lessee under the ANPP Participation Agreement (not limited to Unit 1), with each contributor to receive a percentage of such Generation Entitlement Share equal to the percentage of the cure contributed thereby.

6091. BURNHAM. 1106.47:1


(b) Term. The term of this Facility Lease shall begin on the Closing Date and shall end on the last day of the Lease Term.

(c) Personal Property. It is the express intention of the Lessor and the Lessee that title to the Undivided Interest and every portion thereof shall be severed, and shall be and remain severed, from title to the real estate constituting the Real Property Interest and the PVNGS Site.

-2-

6091.BURNHAM. 1106.47:1


If an interest payment on any Note shall be due on a date other than a Basic Rent Payment Date, the Lessee shall pay additional Basic Rent on such date in an amount equal to such interest payment and such payment of additional Basic Rent shall be credited against the Basic Rent due on the Basic Rent Payment Date next succeeding the date that such additional Basic Rent shall have been paid.

(b) Supplemental Rent. The Lessee shall pay the following amounts (herein referred to as Supplemental Rent):

(1) When due or, where no due date is specified, on demand, any amount (other than Basic Rent, Casualty Value, Termination Value and Special Casualty Value) which the Lessee assumes the obligation to pay or agrees to pay to the Lessor, the Owner Participant, the Indenture Trustee, the Collateral Trust Trustee or any Indemnitee under this Facility Lease, any other Transaction Document or the Collateral Trust Indenture;

(ii) When due any amount payable hereunder as Casualty Value, Termination Value or Special Casualty Value, and an amount equal to any premium or prepayment penalty with respect to the Notes;

(iii) On demand and in any event on the Basic Rent Payment Date next succeeding the date such amounts shall be due and payable hereunder, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, interest (computed on the same basis as interest on the Notes is computed) at a rate per annum equal to (A) the Overdue Interest Rate, on that portion of the payment of Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent distributable pursuant to clause "first" of
Section 5.1 or clause "second" of Section 5.3 of the Indenture (determined prior to the computation of interest on overdue payments referred to in such clauses) , and (B) the Penalty Rate, on the balance of any such payment of Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent

-3-

6091.BURNHAM.1106.47:1


(including, in the case of both clause (i) and clause (ii)
above, but without limitation, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, interest payable pursuant to this clause (iii)) not paid when due (without regard to any period of grace) for any period for which the same shall be overdue.

The Lessor shall have all rights, powers and remedies provided for in this Facility Lease, at law, in equity or otherwise, in the case of non-payment of Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent.

(c) Form at Payment. Subject to Section 11(b), each payment of Rent under this Facility Lease shall be made in immediately available funds no later than 11:00 a.m., local time at the place of receipt, on the date each such payment shall be due and payable hereunder and shall be paid either (A) in the case of payments other than Excepted Payments, to the Lessor at its address determined in accordance with section 17, or at such other address as the Lessor may direct by notice in writing to the Lessee, or (B) in the case of Excepted Payments, to such Person as shall be entitled to receive such payment at such address as such Person may direct by notice in writing to the Lessee. If the date on which any payment of Rent is due hereunder shall not be a Business flay, the payment otherwise due thereon shall be due and payable on the preceding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if paid on the nominal date provided in this Facility Lease.

(d) Adjustments to Rent for Changes in Tax law. Basic Rent shall be adjusted (upward or downward) to preserve Net Economic Return if there is any Change in Tax Law. Any adjustments under this Section 3(d) shall be made not more than once a year and shall be limited in the aggregate to the extent, if any, necessary such that the Basic Rent (excluding any Rent Differential) payable on the Basic Rent Payment Date immediately following such adjustment shall not vary from the Basic Rent (excluding any Rent Differential) which would have been payable on such Basic Rent Payment Date had no adjustments (other than adjustments to reflect actual Transaction Expenses) been made pursuant to this
Section 3(d) or pursuant to Section 3(e), (i) prior to the Refunding Date, by more than 14% and (ii) on at after the Refunding Date, by more than the percentage that would cause the Weighted Factor to equal

-4-

6091.BURNHAM.1106.47:1


11.08%; provided1 however, that if, by reason of the limitation set forth in clause (i) above, any adjustment made prior to the Refunding Date is less than the adjustment that would have been required to preserve Net Economic Return, then after the Refunding Date there will be a further upward adjustment to Basic Rent in order to preserve Net Economic Return, subject to the limitation set forth in clause (ii) above, and if, by reason of the limitation set forth in clause (i) or (ii) above, any upward adjustment contemplated by this Section 3(d) was less than the adjustment that would have been required to preserve Net Economic Return, then the amount of any subsequent downward adjustments otherwise required hereunder shall be reduced to the extent necessary to cause the aggregate effect of such upward adjustment and such subsequent downward adjustments to preserve Net Economic Return; and provided further, however, that no downward adjustments shall be made pursuant to this section 3(4) in excess of any upward adjustments made pursuant to this section 3(d) unless and until the excess of the aggregate amount of all such downward adjustments aver the aggregate of all such upward adjustments would exceed 1%.

For purposes of determining whether a statutory or regulatory change constitutes a Change in Tax Law, the original Owner Participant shall be deemed to be the Owner Participant notwithstanding any transfer of its interest as such (whether or not permitted by Section 15 of the Participation Agreement), provided1 however, that a successor Owner Participant shall be treated as the Owner Participant for such purposes if the transfer to such successor Owner Participant was permitted by Section 15 of the Participation Agreement and if both the original Owner Participant and such successor Owner Participant are members of the same affiliated group of corporations that files a consolidated return for Federal income tax purposes.

The schedules of casualty Values, special Casualty Values and Termination Values attached hereto shall be appropriately adjusted in the event of any adjustment to Basic Rent under this section 3(d).

(e) Further Adjustments. Basic Rent and the schedules of Casualty Values, Special Casualty Values and Termination Values attached hereto shall be adjusted (upward or downward) to preserve Net Economic Return if (i) in

-5-

6O9S1.BURNHAM. 1106.47:1


consequence of any releveraqing or refunding of the Notes or the issuance of Additional Notes the unpaid principal amount of Notes Outstanding shall be greater or less than the unpaid principal amount of Motes Outstanding immediately prior to such transaction, (ii) in consequence of events described in clause (i) above, the schedule of amortization of principal of Notes Outstanding after such transaction shall be other than the schedule of amortization of principal of Notes immediately prior to such transaction or the interest rate applicable to such Notes shall be other than contained in the Pricing Assumptions, (iii) Transaction Expenses are paid by the Lessor in amounts greater or less than an amount equal to 0.8% of Facility Cost, or (iv) there is any change in the Pricing Assumptions.

(f) Computation of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of an event requiring an adjustment to Basic Rent payable pursuant to clause (ii) of Section
3(a), and the schedules of Casualty Values, special Casualty Values and Termination Values attached hereto, pursuant to paragraph (d) or (e) of this
Section 3, the Owner Participant shall make the necessary computations and furnish to the Lessee, the Loan Participant, the Lessor and the Indenture Trustee the revised amounts and percentages, which amounts and percentages shall be implemented upon delivery thereof and effective as of the date of occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment (taking into account any payment of Basic Rent already made) and shall remain effective until changed in consequence of any verification procedure set forth below. Such revised amounts and percentages shall be subject to verification (at the Lessee's request made within 45 days after the Owner Participant shall have furnished the revised amounts to the Lessee) by the Owner Participant's nationally recognized independent public accountants (to whom the Owner Participant shall have provided all information necessary to perform such verification), in which case such accountants shall either (i) confirm to the Lessee in writing that such revised amounts were computed on a basis consistent with the original calculations, or (ii) if such accountants shall for any reason be unable to provide such confirmation, compute and provide to the Lessee, the Lessor, the Owner Participant, the Loan Participant and the Indenture Trustee revised amounts and percentages on such a basis. The revised amounts and percentages, as so confirmed or computed if applicable, shall be conclusive and binding upon the Lessee, the Lessor, and the

-6-

6091. BURNHAM. 1106.47:1


Owner Participant. The cost of any such verification shall be borne by the Lessee, unless such accountants shall require an adjustment to the revised amounts and percentages originally provided by the Owner Participant which differs by more than 10% from the amount of the adjustment so provided, in which case such cost shall be divided and paid by the Lessee and the Owner Participant in equal amounts. Each adjustment pursuant to paragraph (d) or (e) of this
Section 2 may, but need not, be evidenced by the execution and delivery of a supplement to this Facility Lease in form and substance satisfactory to the Lessee and the Owner Participant, but shall be effective as provided herein without regard to the date on which such supplement to this Facility Lease is so executed and delivered.

FACILITY LEASE, dated as of December 15, 1986, between THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF BOSTON, a national banking association, not in its individual capacity, but solely as Owner Trustee under a Trust Agreement, dated as of December 15, 1986, with Chase Manhattan Realty Leasing Corporation (the Lessor), and PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY OF NEW MEXICO, a New Mexico corporation (the Lessee).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Lessor owns the undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest;

WHEREAS, the Lessee desires to lease the undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest from the Lessor on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, the Lessor is willing to lease the Undivided interest and the Real Property Interest to the Lessee on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Definitions.

For purposes hereof, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Appendix A hereto. References in this Facility Lease to sections, paragraphs and clauses are to sections, paragraphs and clauses in this Facility Lease unless otherwise indicated.

SECTION 2. Lease of Undivided Interest; Term; Personal Property.

(a) Lease of Undivided Interest. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Facility Lease, the Lessor hereby leases to the Lessee, and the Lessee hereby leases from the Lessor, the undivided Interest.

(b) Term. The term of this Facility Lease shall begin on December 17, 1986, and shall end on the last day of the Lease Term.

6091.CHASEU1.LEASE.47:1


(c) Personal Property. It is the express intention of the Lessor and the Lessee that title to the Undivided Interest and every portion thereof be, and hereby is, severed, and shall be and remain severed, from title to the real estate constituting the Real Property Interest and the PVNGS Site. The Lessor and the Lessee intend that the Undivided Interest shall constitute personal property to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law.

(d) Description. The Real Property Interest is described on schedule 4 hereto. The Undivided Interest is described on Schedule 5 hereto.

SECTION 3. Rent; Adjustments to Rent.

(a) Basic Rent. The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor, as basic rent (herein referred to as Basic Rent) for the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest, the following amounts:

(i) on January 15, 1987, an amount equal to .02583079% of the Facility Cost for each day from, and including, December 17, 1986 to, but excluding, January 15, 1987;

(ii) on July 15, 1987 and on each Basic Rent Payment Date thereafter to and including January 15, 2015, an amount equal to 4.649542% of Facility Cost: and

(iii) if the Lessee shall elect the Renewal Term1 on July 15, 2015 and on each Basic Rent Payment flats thereafter during the Renewal Term, an amount equal to one-half of an amount determined by dividing the aggregate amount of all payments of Basic Rent payable with respect to the Basic Lease Term pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 3(a) (taking into account any adjustments pursuant to sections 3(d) and 3(e)), by 56.

If an interest payment on any Note shall be due on a date other than a Basic Rent Payment Date, the Lessee shall pay additional Basic Rent on such date equal to such interest payment and such payment of additional Basic Rent shall be credited against the Basic Rent due on the Basic Rent Payment Date next succeeding the date that such additional Basic Rent shall have been paid.

6091. CHASEUl. LEASE. 47:1


(b) supplemental Rent. The Lessee shall pay the following amounts (herein referred to as supplemental Rent).

(i) when due or, where no due date is specified, on demand, any amount (other than Basic Rent, Casualty Value Termination Value and special Casualty Value) which the Lessee assumes the obligation to pay or agrees to pay to the Lessor, the Owner Participant, the indenture Trustee, the Collateral Trust Trustee or any indemnitee under this Facility Lease, any other Transaction Document or the Collateral Trust indenture, any amount which is to be paid under section 6.9, 7.6, or 8.7 of the Indenture and any amount that the Lessee is required to pay, or provide for the payment of, under Section 8.5 of the Indenture;

(ii) when due, any amount payable hereunder as Casualty Value, Termination Value or special Casualty Value, and an amount equal to any premium or prepayment penalty with respect to the Notes;

(iii) on demand and in any event on the Basic Rent Payment Date next succeeding the date such amounts shall be due and payable hereunder, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, interest (computed on the same basis as interest on the Notes is computed) at a rate per annum equal to (A) the Overdue interest Rate, on that portion of the payment of Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent distributable pursuant to clause "first" of
Section 5.1 or clause "second" of Section 5.3 of the Indenture (determined prior to the computation of interest on overdue payments referred to in such clauses) , and (B) the Penalty Rate, on the balance of any such payment of Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent (including, in the case of both clause (i) and clause (ii) above, but without limitation, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, interest payable pursuant to this clause (iii)) not paid when due (without regard to any period of grace) for any period for which the same shall be overdue.

6091.CHASEU1.LEASE.47:1


The Lessor shall have all rights, powers and remedies provided for in this Facility Lease, at law, in equity or other-tie, in the case of non-payment of Basic Rent or supplemental Rent.

(c) Form of Payment. Subject to Section 11(b), each payment of Rent under this Facility Lease shall be made in immediately available funds no later than 11:00 a.m., local time at the place of receipt, on the date each such payment shall be due and payable hereunder and shall be paid either (A) in the case of payments other than Excepted Payments, to the Lessor at its address determined in accordance with Section 17, or at such other address as the Lessor may direct by notice in writing to the Lessee, or (B) in the case of Excepted Payments, to such Person as shall be entitled to receive such payment at such address as such Person may direct by notice in writing to the Lessee. If the date on which any payment of Rent is due hereunder shall not be a Business Day, the payment otherwise due thereon shall be due and payable on the preceding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if paid on the nominal date provided in this Facility Lease.

(d) Adjustments to Rent. Basic Rent and the schedules of Casualty values, Termination Values and Special Casualty Values attached hereto shall be adjusted (upward or downward) to preserve Net Economic Return if there is any Change in Tax Law other than a change in respect of a minimum tax; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of such downward adjustments shall not exceed the aggregate amount of such upward adjustments. Adjustments under this paragraph (d) shall be (1) made not more than once a year and (2) limited in the aggregate to the extent necessary such that the aggregate amount of Basic Rent theretofore and thereafter payable throughout the Basic Lease Term (computed for such purposes only without regard to any adjustments theretofore made pursuant to Section 3(e)) shall not exceed by more than 4% the aggregate amount of Basic Rent which would have been payable throughout the Basic Lease Term (calculated as aforesaid) had no such adjustments been made.

The provisions of this Section 3(d) to the contrary notwithstanding, if any Change in Tax Law is, or becomes, applicable to the transaction contemplated by this Facility Lease in consequence of the transfer

Any adjustment referred to in this Section 3 shall satisfy the provisions of Revenue Procedure 75-21, Revenue Procedure 75-28 and any other applicable statute, regulation, revenue procedure, revenue ruling or technical information release relating to the subject matter of Revenue Procedure 75-21 or Revenue procedure 75-28, but, in the case of any upward adjustment, shall be no less than the adjustment otherwise required pursuant to this Section 3.

The Lessor shall have all rights, powers and remedies provided tar in this Facility Lease, at law, in equity or otherwise, in the case of non-payment of Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent.

If the date on which any payment of Rent is due hereunder shall not be a Business Day, the payment otherwise due thereon shall be due and payable on the preceding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if paid on the nominal date provided in this Facility Lease.

(d) Adjustments to Rent. Basic Rent and the schedules of Casualty Values, Termination Values and Special Casualty Values attached hereto shall be adjusted (upward or downward) to preserve Net Economic Return if there is any Change in Tax Law other than a Change in respect of a minimum tax; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of such downward adjustments shall not exceed the aggregate amount of such upward adjustments. Adjustments under this paragraph (d) shall be (1) made not more than once a year and (2) limited in the aggregate to the extent necessary such that the aggregate amount of Basic Rent theretofore and thereafter payable throughout the Basic Lease Term (computed for such purposes only without regard to any adjustments theretofore made pursuant to Section 3(e)) shall not exceed by more than 4% the aggregate amount of Basic Rent which would have been payable throughout the Basic Lease Term (calculated as aforesaid) had no such adjustments been made.

The provisions of this Section 3(d) to the contrary notwithstanding, if any Change in Tax Law is, or becomes, applicable to the transaction contemplated by this Facility Lease in consequences of the transfer

-4-

6091.CHASEU2.LEASE.47:1


of the Owner Participant's beneficial interest in the Trust (whether or not permitted by Section 15 of the Participation Agreement) or if such Change in Tax Law would not have been applicable to such transaction had no such transfer occurred, then no adjustment shall be, or be required to be, made pursuant to this Section 3 (d); provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply to the initial transfer of the Owner Participant's beneficial interest in the Trust to one of its Affiliates.

(e) Further Adjustments. Basic Rent and the schedules of Casualty Values, Special Casualty Values and Termination Values attached hereto shall be appropriately adjusted (upward or downward) to preserve Net Economic Return if there is (i) any Supplemental Financing, (ii) the payment of Transaction Expenses in an amount which is other than 3.0% of the Purchase Price or (iii) any other change (other than a change in items 4, 5, 9 (as to the basis for amortization of Transaction Expenses) , 14, 15 and 17, but without limiting the effect of Section 3(d) hereof) in the Pricing Assumptions.

(f) computation of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of an event requiring an adjustment to Basic Rent payable pursuant to clause (ii) of
Section 3(a), and the schedules of Casualty Values, Special Casualty Values and Termination Values attached hereto, pursuant to paragraph (d) or (e) of this
Section 3, the Owner Participant shall make the necessary computations and furnish to the Lessee, the Loan Participant, the Lessor and the Indenture Trustee the revised amounts and percentages, which amounts and percentages shall be implemented upon delivery thereof and effective as of the date of occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment (taking into account any payment of Basic Rent already made) and shall remain effective until changed in consequence of any verification procedure set forth below. Such revised amounts and percentages shall be subject to verification (at the Lessee9s request within 90 days after the Owner Participant furnishes the revised amounts to the Lessee, the Loan Participant, the Lessor and the Indenture Trustee) by the Owner Participant's nationally recognized independent public accountants, in which case such accountants shall either (i) confirm to the Lessee in writing that such revised amounts were computed on a basis consistent with the original calculations, or
(ii) compute and provide to the Lessee, the Lessor, the Owner Participant, the

-5-

6091.CHASEU1.LEASE.47:1


Loan Participant and the indenture Trustee revised amounts and percentages which are on such a basis. The revised amounts and percentages, as so confirmed or computed if applicable, shall be conclusive and binding upon the Lessee, the Lessor, the Owner Participant, the Loan Participant and the Indenture Trustee. The cost of any such verification shall be borne by the Lessee unless such accountants shall require an adjustment to the revised amounts and percentages originally provided by the Owner Participant which differs by more than 10% from the adjustment so provided, in which case such cost shall be divided and paid by the Lessee and the Owner Participant in equal amounts. Each adjustment pursuant to paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section 3 may, but need not, be evidenced by the execution and delivery of a supplement to this Facility Lease in form and substance satisfactory to the Lessee and the Owner Participant, but shall be effective as provided herein without regard to the date on which such supplement to this Facility Lease is so executed and delivered. Any adjustment referred to in this Section 3 shall satisfy the provisions of Revenue Procedure 75-21, Revenue Procedure 75-28 and any other applicable statute, regulation, revenue procedure, revenue ruling or technical information release relating to the subject matter of Revenue Procedure 75-21 or Revenue Procedure 75-28, but, in the case of any upward adjustment, shall be no less than the oadjustment otherwise required pursuant to this Section 3.

(g) sufficiency of Basic Rent arid Supplemental Rent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Facility Lease, any other Transaction Document or any Financing Document (i) the amount of Basic Rent payable on each Basic Rent Payment Date shall be at least equal to the aggregate amount of principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest payable on all Notes then Outstanding and (ii) each payment of Casualty Value, special casualty Value and Termination Value shall in no event be less (when added to all other amounts, other than Excepted Payments, required to be paid by the Lessee under this Facility Lease in respect of any Event of Loss or Deemed Loss Event or termination of this Facility Lease) than an amount sufficient, as of the date of payment, to pay in full all principal of, and premium, if any, and interest then due on all Notes Outstanding on and as of such date of payment (taking into account any assumption of the Notes by the Lessee).

Lessor elects a remedy specified in said clause (A) , (S) or (C) , or the deficiency referred to in Section 16(a)(vi), if the Lessor elects the remedy specified in section 16 (a) (vi) hereof) .

The failure or delay of the Lessor in exercising any right granted it hereunder upon any occurrence of any of the contingencies set forth herein shall not constitute a waiver of any such right upon the continuation or recurrence of any such contingencies or similar contingencies and any single or partial exercise of any particular right by the Lessor shall not exhaust the same or constitute a waiver of any other right provided herein. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Lessee hereby waives any rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise which may require the Lessor to sell, lease or otherwise use the Undivided interest or Unit 2 in mitigation of the Lessor's damages as set forth in paragraph (a) of this section 16 or which may otherwise limit or modify any of the Lessor's rights and remedies provided in this Section 16.

3(b)(iii)), the Lessor shall retain the Undivided Interest and the Real Property interest subject to the terms of this Facility Lease and Section 7(b) (4) of the Participation Agreement; provided, however, that the obligation of the Lessee to pay further Basic Rent shall be reduced to an amount on each Basic Rent Payment Date equal to the aggregate amount of principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest then payable on all Notes then Outstanding and this Facility Lease shall become a security agreement for all purposes of Applicable Law. The Lessee agrees to use its best efforts to comply with the conditions respecting its assumption set forth in Section 3.9(b) of the 'Indenture and, failing such assumption, agrees to accept a transfer of the Owner Participant's right, title and interest in the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 7(b) (4) of the Participation Agreement.

If Employee was required to contribute to the monthly cost of the Health Care Benefits (e.g., by payroll withholding), she will be required to continue making any applicable monthly premium payments to retain the level of coverage being provided immediately prior to such Termination Date.

4. Release Provisions. Various state and federal statutes (laws) prohibit employment discrimination based on age, sex, race, color, national origin, religion, ancestry, physical or mental handicap and disability, mental condition or veteran status.

2

(a) Release of the Company. By signing this Agreement, Employee agrees to release and discharge the Company and Affiliates, their directors, officers, agents, supervisors, employees, subsidiaries and successors from any and all claims which Employee has or may have arising out of or related to Employee's relationship, in any capacity, with the Company or Affiliates or the termination of employment with the Company or Affiliates ("Claims").

Pursuant to 29 U.S.C. ss. 626, this Agreement does not extend to any claims or rights under the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act which may arise out of the actions of the Company or an Affiliate after the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall be construed as to abrogate or supersede any obligation or agreement of the Company or Affiliates that may exist outside of this Agreement, pursuant to applicable bylaw provisions of the Company or Affiliates, to indemnify Employee, or to provide Employee with director and officer liability insurance. This Agreement shall not increase or adversely impact any such rights or obligations to which Employee may be entitled under such indemnification or directors and officers liability insurance referred to in the immediately preceding sentence.

(b) No Release of Employee. The Company and Affiliates do not release Employee from any claim which the Company or an Affiliate has or may have against Employee arising out of or relating to Employee's relationship, in any capacity, with the Company or Affiliates. This Agreement also does not release Employee for expressly contracted debts or loans due the Company or Affiliates, evidenced by written notes or agreements, or for willful, wanton or intentionally wrongful acts, nor does this Agreement extend to matters or events occurring after the date of this Agreement.

5. Confidential Information.

(a) Employee Acquired Confidential Information. Except as required by law, Employee agrees to keep confidential all "Confidential Information" (as defined in this Agreement) obtained during the course of employment with the Company and the positions she has held with Affiliates. Employee agrees that she will not reveal any Confidential Information to any other person, corporation or entity, without the prior written consent from an authorized Company representative. The term "Confidential Information" as used in this Agreement means information, written or otherwise, which Employee has received in the course of her relationship, in any capacity with the Company or Affiliates and includes, without limitation, all reports, forecasts, contracts, customer information, confidential commercial information, trade secrets, business secrets, personnel information or any information that is not available to the general public. Any information, analysis or interpretation which is public information as a result of (A) a public filing made by the Company or Affiliates or (B) information supplied by the Company or Affiliates pursuant to formal discovery procedures (unless such information, analysis or interpretation is public as a result of a breach of this Agreement) shall not be considered Confidential Information.

(b) Confidential Employment Information. PNM and Affiliates agree that, consistent with current policy, they will only release information confirming dates of employment and positions held by Employee.

(c) This Agreement Confidential. The parties, and each of them, agree that this Agreement has been entered into with the understanding that all of the terms and conditions hereof will remain confidential and that they or their legal representatives will not, except as provided herein, disclose to any Third Party the terms and conditions of this Agreement unless the other party hereto consents in writing to such disclosure. As used herein, "Third Party" means any person, corporation, partnership, firm, consultant, or governmental entity, or representatives of any of the foregoing, other than officers, employees and attorneys of the parties to this Agreement.

4

In the event that Employee is requested or required to disclose the Confidential Information pursuant to Section 5(a), (b) or (c) above, it is agreed that Employee shall provide the Company with prompt written notice of such request(s) at least ten (10) days prior to making any such disclosure and advise whether or not Employee intends to seek an appropriate protective order to preclude disclosure of such information. If Employee seeks a protective order, the Company or any Affiliate may join in such action. If Employee does not seek a protective order, then the Company or an Affiliate shall have such right to seek a protective order. The parties to the Agreement agree to cooperate in seeking a protective order if any party hereto so requests.

If Employee seeks such protective order, without the Company or the Affiliate joining such action, or if the Company and/or the Affiliate commences such action, without Employee seeking or joining in such action, then the party seeking such protective order shall pay the attorney fees and expenses associated therewith, including the reasonable attorney fees and costs of any other party to this Agreement who requires such legal counsel to protect her or its interest pursuant to such action. If Employee or the Company (and/or Affiliate) both join in such action, then each shall be responsible for her or its respective attorney fees and costs. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, a party is legally bound, in the written opinion of its counsel, to disclose the Confidential Information, it may legally do so without a breach of this Agreement. PNM and Affiliates shall instruct their directors, officers, employees, agents and attorneys to maintain the confidentiality provisions hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all parties hereby consent to the disclosure of information contained in or related to this Agreement to the extent required, in the opinion of counsel to a party hereto, to comply with applicable securities laws and regulations or the laws and regulations administered by the NMPUC which bind such party.

6. Agreement to Assist Company. Employee agrees to assist the Company when requested from time to time in the future, such as in providing testimony or providing information to the Company or its counsel.

7. Accord and Satisfaction. Employee agrees that the payments and benefits provided for pursuant to this Agreement and the provisions included hereunder constitute full settlement and satisfaction of all claims released by Employee as described in Section 4(a), and agrees that this Agreement and the benefits provided pursuant to this Agreement are not to be construed as an admission of liability by the Company, Affiliates, or their directors, officers, supervisors, agents, employees or any other persons or entities being released. Employee further agrees that acceptance of the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement constitute a waiver of all rights Employee may have to pursue any rights and privileges under any internal grievance procedure or policy.

5

8. Entire Agreement. The benefits provided hereunder are in lieu of any other benefits to which Employee may be eligible under (i) severance plans (including employment option programs) or agreements maintained by Company or Affiliates thereof (including any right to receive a notice of position impaction under Company or Affiliates severance plans, which right is hereby specifically waived), (ii) executive or employee retention plans or similar type change in control plans or agreements maintained by Company or Affiliates thereof, or (iii) any other benefit plan of the Company or its Affiliates not otherwise mentioned in the following sentence of this paragraph.

-75-

6091.50.2831.27:2


credits available to it otherwise than by reason of any payment by the Lessee pursuant to this Section 13(b); provided further, however, that notwithstanding the provisions of this clause (3), such Indemnitee shall not be obligated to make any payment to the Lessee pursuant to this clause (3) if at the time such payment shall be due an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(4) General Tax Indemnity-Contests.

If the Lessee shall reasonably request in writing within 30 days after receipt of such notice, such Indemnitee shall in good faith and at the Lessee's expense contest the imposition of such Taxes; provided, however, that such Indemnitee may in its sole discretion select the forum for such contest and determine whether any such contest shall be by (A) resisting payment of such Taxes, (B) paying such Taxes under protest or (C) paying such Taxes and seeking a refund thereof; provided further, however, that (W) such Indemnitee shall not be obligated to contest any claim in which the amount in question is less than $250,000, (X) at such Indemnitee's option, such contest shall be conducted by the Lessee in the name of such Indemnitee (subject to the preceding proviso) and (Y) in no event shall such Indemnitee be required or the Lessee permitted to contest the imposition of any Taxes for which the Lessee is obligated pursuant to this Section 13(b) unless (u) the Lessee shall have acknowledged its liability to such Indemnitee for an indemnity payment pursuant to this Section 13(b) as a result of such claim if and to the extent such Indemnitee or the Lessee, as the case may be, shall not prevail in the contest of such claim; (v) such Indemnitee shall have received from the Lessee (i) satisfactory indemnity for any liability, expense or loss arising out of or relating to such contest including, but not limited to, (A) all reasonable legal, accountants' and

-76-

6091.50.2831.27:2


investigatory fees and disbursements, (B) the amount of any interest, additions to tax or penalties that may be payable as a result of contesting such claim and (C.) if such contest is to be initiated by the payment of, and the claiming of a refund for such Tax, sufficient funds to make such payment on an After-Tax-Basis and (ii) an opinion of independent tax counsel selected by the Lessee and approved by such Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and furnished at the Lessee's sole expense to the effect that a Reasonable Basis exists for contesting such claim or, in the event of an appeal, that there exists a substantial possibility that an appellate court or an administrative agency with appellate jurisdiction, as the case may be, will reverse or substantially modify the adverse determination that the Lessee desires to contest; (w) the Lessee shall have agreed to pay such Indemnitee on demand, and on an After-Tax-Basis, all reasonable costs and expenses that such Indemnitee may incur in connection with contesting such claim (including, without limitation, all costs, expenses, losses, reasonable legal and accounting fees, disbursements, penalties, interest and additions to tax); (x) such Indemnitee shall have reasonably determined that the action to be taken will not result in any danger of sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of any Lien (except if the Lessee shall have adequately bonded such Lien or otherwise made provision to protect the interests of such Indemnitee in a manner satisfactory to such Indemnitee) on, Unit 1, any part thereof, the Undivided Interest, the Real Property Interest, or any interest in any of the foregoing; and
(y) if such contest shall be conducted in a manner requiring the payment of the claim, the Lessee shall have paid the amount required. The Lessee agrees to give such Indemnitee reasonable notice of any contest prior to the commencement thereof. If any Indemnitee shall obtain a refund of. all or any part of any Taxes paid by the Lessee, or if any such refund would be payable to the Indemnitee in the absence of an offsetting liability for Taxes payable to the taxing authority in question, such Indemnitee shall pay the Lessee, but not before the Lessee

-77-

6091.50.2831.27:2


shall have made all payments theretofore due to such Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 13(b), an amount equal to the lesser of (xx) the amount of such refund so received or receivable, including interest received or receivable and attributable thereto, plus any net permanent tax benefit realized by such Indemnitee (determined in a manner consistent with the definition of After-Tax-Basis set forth in Appendix A and with the last sentence of Section 13(b)(E) hereof) as a result of any payment by such Indemnitee made pursuant to this sentence (but only to the extent that such net permanent tax benefit was not taken into account pursuant to
Section 13(b)(3)), and after taking into account the tax consequences of the receipt of such refund and such interest) or (yy) such tax payment by the Lessee to such Indemnitee plus any other payment by the Lessee to such Indemnitee theretofore made pursuant to this Section 13(b), in either case, net of any expenses not already paid or incurred by the Lessee; provided, however, that in computing any net permanent tax benefit, such Indemnitee shall be deemed first to have utilized all deductions and credits available to it otherwise than by reason of any payment by the Lessee pursuant. to this Section 13(b)1 provided, further, however, that not-withstanding the provisions of this clause (4), such Indemnitee shall not be obligated to make any payment to the Lessee pursuant to this clause (4) if at the time such payment shall be due a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Facility Lease. An Indemnitee shall not be required to make any payment pursuant to this clause (4) before such time as the Lessee shall have made all payments and indemnities then due under the Transaction Documents to such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding anything contained in this clause (4) to the contrary, no Indemnitee shall be required to contest any claim if the subject matter thereof shall be of a continuing nature and shall have previously been decided pursuant to the contest provisions of this clause (4) unless there shall have been a change in the law (including, without limitation, amendments to statutes or regulations, administrative rulings and court decisions) after

-78-

6091.50.2831.27:2


such claim shall have been so previously decided, and such Indemnitee shall have received an opinion of independent tax counsel selected by the Lessee and approved by such Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and furnished at the Lessee's sole expense to the effect that such change provides a Reasonable Basis for the position which such Indemnitee and the Lessee, as the case may be, had asserted in such previous contest or for an alternative position based upon such change that the Lessee now desires to assert. Nothing contained in this section 13(b) shall require any Indemnitee to contest or permit the Lessee to contest a claim which it would otherwise be required to contest pursuant to this Section 13(b) if such Indemnitee shall waive payment by the Lessee of any amount that might otherwise be payable by the Lessee under this Section 13(b) by way of indemnity in respect of such claim. If Lessee 4oes not request that a Tax be contested pursuant to this paragraph (5), Lessee shall pay the Indemnitee therefor unless such Tax was not included in the indemnification under Section 13 (b)(l) or was excluded by Section 13 (b) (2).

(5) General Tax Indemnity-Reports. If any report, return or statement is required to be filed with respect to any obligations of the Lessee under or arising out of this Section 13(b), the Lessee shall timely notify the Indemnitee and timely file the same, except for any such report, return or statement which such Indemnitee has notified the Lessee that it intends to file. The Lessee shall either file such report, return or statement so as to show the ownership of the undivided Interest or the Real Property Interest, as the case may be, in the Owner Trustee and send a copy of such report, return or statement to the Owner Trustee and such Indemnitee or, where not so permitted, notify the Owner Trustee and such Indemnitee of such requirement and prepare and deliver such report, return or statement to the Owner Trustee and such Indemnitee in a manner

The Lessee shall not have any right to examine the tax returns of any Indemnitee.

-39-

than of title to the Notes so conveyed) all of the right, title and interest of such Holder in and to the Lease.

7. SALE OF EFFLUENT; QUALITY OF EFFLUENT; PROCESSING SERVICE:

7.1 When the Participants desire to exercise all or any portion of the Unit 1 Option, Unit 2 Option, Unit 3 Option or Unit 4 Option, in each or any case pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof, the Participants shall promptly execute and deliver to Phoenix one or more completed instruments in the form of Exhibit D, which shall be effective as of the effective date provided in such instrument, providing for the sale, transfer, delivery and right to use Effluent in the amounts of the Unit 1 Water Requirements, Unit 2 Water Requirements, Unit 3 Water Requirements or Unit 4 Water Requirements or so much thereof as the Participants have exorcised their option therefor. The source and quality of Effluent to be transferred from and processed in the 23rd Avenue Plant and to be transferred from and processed in the 91st Avenue Plant shall be as shown on Exhibit B In the event that the Participants' water requirements are less than the amounts indicated in the Options, in each and any case, and the Participants exercise such Options, in each and any case, in amounts less than the amounts indicated in the Options, then the balance of the Effluent in the amount for which the Option is not exercised, in each aria any case, shall become Uncommitted Effluent, not under Option, and available to be used at the Cities' sole discretion.

-15-

7.2 Following any execution of an instrument pursuant to
Section 7 hereof and during the term thereof as set forth in Section
7.S hereof, Phoenix shall collect waste-water, process the same and deliver Effluent of the quality shown on Exhibit E to either or both the 23rd Avenue Plant Delivery Point and the 91st Avenue Plant Delivery Point as the Participants may from time to time designate and in the amounts as the Participants have exercised their Option thereof; provided that such amounts are available at the designated delivery point; and provided, however, that the Participants shall not be obligated to accept delivery of Effluent which does not meet the quality set forth in Exhibit E.

7.3 Phoenix on behalf of itself and the other Cities covenants and agrees that it will operate, maintain, repair and replace the 23rd Avenue Plant and 91st Avenue Plant in at least substantially the same condition as they exist upon the date of the execution of this Agreement, ordinary wear and tear excepted and shall enlarge the capacity of the 91st Avenue Plant as required from tune to time to treat increased quantities of wastewater delivered to the plant in a manner and on a schedule such that the annual average DOD of the Effluent from said plant shall not exceed 30 mg/l due to increased flows through said Plant. Phoenix may make alterations in,

-16-

modifications to, replacements , betterments and improve ments of and to the 23rd Avenue Plant and the 91st Avenue Plant; provided, however, that the Cities shall at all times carry out their obligations pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof. The Cities further covenant and agree that they will not install, operate and maintain any new sewage treatment plant at any other location if the installation, operation and maintenance of such new plant would impair the ability of the Cities to transfer and deliver Effluent pursuant to this Agreement. In this connection, however, it is recognized that the long-range Master Plan for the collection and treatment of wastewater from the urban development in the metropolitan. area extends into drainage basins not normally tributary to the 23rd Avenue or the 91st Avenue Wastewater Treatment Plants. New treatment facilities for the Gila and lower Litchfield tributary basins are envisioned, as generally described in the "Wastewater Report for the Valley Metropolitan Area of Phoenix, Arizona" by John Carollo Engineers, dated December, 1968. Nothing herein is intended to impair the implementation of the Master Plan nor to grant Participants any rights or interests in wastewater collected in the Gila and lower Litchfield tributary basins, and treated at such envisioned new facilities. Prior to the beginning of each calendar year, the Participants shall submit to the W&S Director in writing, the

-17-

estimates of water requirements (including Construction Water) on a daily basis or by month for the ensuing calendar year. Such estimates will be used by the W &S Director as an operational guide and for planning purposes. It is understood that Water Requirements cited in
Section S of this Agreement are annual quantities only. Nothing herein shall obligate Phoenix to operate the wastewater treatment plants in such a manner as to process Effluent in uniformly equal daily or monthly quantities, it being understood that the proper operation of the plants is dependent upon the operation of other related wastewater disposal facilities and the amount of non-consumptive use of water-producing raw wastewater discharged into the sanitary sewer system. Like wise, it is understood that the maximum amount of Effluent available for the Participants' use is restricted to the amount of Uncommitted Effluent which has been processed at the treatment plants. The Participant's Facilities located at the 23rd Avenue and 91st Avenue Delivery Points shall include metering devices, approved by the W & S Director and the Operating Agent's Engineer, which shall be the basis for determining the amount of Effluent sold.

7.4 Prior to the effective date of the exercise of any option pursuant to Section 6.2 the W & S Director and the Operating Agent's Engineer shall agree upon written practices and procedures relating to processing and delivery of Effluent pursuant to this Section 7, and its receipt, storage and transportation by the Participants during Operating Emergencies and Scheduled Outages.

Water Requirements and Unit 4 Water Requirements; shall in each case terminate and expire on the Unit 1 Shutdown Date, Unit 2 Shutdown Date, Unit 3 Shutdown Date and Unit 4 Shutdown Date, respectively. On such dates the amount of the sale and purchase of Effluent related to each ANPP Unit shall terminate, without further act of the Participants. The Participants agree to provide Phoenix with at least 24 months' notice of intent of any Shutdown Date.

7.6 Nothing herein shall be construed to constitute a waiver, relinquishment, abandonment or forfeiture of any appropriative water rights of any of the Cities or any other party hereto.

EXHIBIT E

1. SOURCE OF WASTEWATER

The 23rd Avenue and 91st Avenue Sewage Treatment Plants receive and treat all wastewater discharged into the respective tributary sanitary sewer systems of the Cities, which serve residential, commercial and industrial establishments. Storm water is not intended to be admitted into the sanitary sewer Systems but is handled by separate storm sewer Systems which are not tributary to the treatment works.

The water supply from which the wastewater derives, after being used for domestic, commercial and industrial purposes, consists of surface water from the Salt and Verde Rivers and ground water from numerous wells. In the future, Colorado River water may be an added source.

The strength and character of wastewater entering the Phoenix sewer system is regulated by Ordinance. All establishments that produce wastewater that exceeds the limits set forth in the Ordinance are required to pretreat their wastewater before it is accepted into the sewer system. A copy of the currently effective "Maximum Allowable Limits for Discharge into the Phoenix Sanitary Sewers System" - P-S3, dated December 22, 1970, is attached, In addition, tile contractual agreements between Phoenix and the other Cities involved in the Multi-City Sewerage Plan include restrictions and controls regarding the strength and character of wastewater consistent with the Phoenix regulations.

2. QUANTITY OF EFFLUENT

Attached is a copy of "Wastewater Flow Projections 1972-2000:
Estimated Uncommitted Effluent Available, Acre Feet/Year."

3. QUALITY OF EFFLUENT AND METHODS OF ANALYSIS

Both the 23rd Avenue and 91st Avenue Sewage Treatment Plants are designed and operated, as will be any anticipated future additions, to provide secondary treatment for all wastewaters delivered to them by the sanitary sewage collection system. This secondary treatment is presently accomplished at both plants by the activated sludge process.

Effluent quality is based upon and determined at each plant by suspended solids and BOD analyses performed daily on representative composite samples. The analyses are performed in accordance with the latest edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, published jointly by the American Public Health Association, American Water Works Association, and the Water Pollution Control Federation.

The 23rd Avenue and 91st Avenue Sewage Treatment Plants, and any future addition thereto, will continue to be operated in such a manner that will produce an Effluent that will comply with the Rules and Regulations of the Arizona State Department of Health.

E-2

The City shall exercise all reasonable efforts to operate, maintain, enlarge and improve the 23rd Avenue and 91st Avenue Plants in a manner such that the quality of the Effluent therefrom to be delivered to Participants hereunder shall be compatible with the operation and maintenance of the Participants' Effluent treatment facilities in order that the following components of such. Effluent shall not exceed on an annual average basis the concentrations indicated below:

Phosphate                      60 mg/l
Suspended Solids               30 mg/1
BOD5                           30 mg/1

Whenever analyses shall indicate that due to normal or other causes the quality of the Effluent is in a trend in which it may be anticipated that the above values indicated as annual average concentrations may be exceeded for extended periods of time and whenever any upset in the treatment processes at either 23rd Avenue or 91st Avenue Plant occurs which may result in the delivery of Effluent with concentrations in excess of those listed above, for extended periods of time the W & S Director shall cause the Project Manager's Engineer or the Operating. Agent's Engineer to be promptly notified of such occurrences.

E-3

The Cities shall also use their best efforts to regulate the discharge into their sewerage collection Systems from industrial and commercial sources of any substances which would be detrimental to the quality of the Effluent delivered hereunder.

Participants shall not be obligated to accept delivery of, or to pay for any inadequately treated Effluent which could not otherwise be lawfully discharged in accordance with the Rules and Regulations of the Arizona State Department of Health or the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

It is recognized that the Participants' Facilities require storage reservoirs or ponds for purposes of operational flexibility and as a standby source of water. Participants shall not be obligated to accept delivery of, or to pay for any such inadequately treated Effluent that cannot be provides sufficient dilution by the Participants' storage ponds to render the Effluent compatible with the operation and maintenance of the Participants' treatment facilities.
