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
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:
ELECTRIC SALES BY MARKET (Thousands of dollars) 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Retail................................. $507,821 $485,568 $506,286 $471,099 $455,387 Firm-requirements wholesale............ $ 12,359 $ 20,282 $ 22,296 $ 18,468 $ 20,173 Other contracted off-system sales...... $ 86,689 $ 43,158+ $ 54,862+ $ 56,214+ $ 62,348 Economy energy sales................... $ 22,281 $ 17,509+ $ 19,663+ $ 25,213+ $ 40,770 |

* System peak demand relates to retail and firm-requirements wholesale customers only.
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 ------------------------ ------------------------ -------------------------- Percent of Average Percent of Average Percent of Average ------------ ----------- ------------ ---------- ------------ ------------ 1992............. 69.2 161.7 30.5 59.8 0.3 239.7 1993............. 72.9 164.7 26.7 58.1 0.4 331.7 1994............. 72.0 162.9 27.8 58.5 0.2 321.7 1995............. 67.9 168.3 31.9 49.1 0.2 242.2 1996............. 68.9 159.3 30.4 49.7 0.7 238.2 |
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
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
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.
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.

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.
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.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Substantially all of the Company's utility plant is mortgaged to secure its first mortgage bonds.
ELECTRIC
The Company's electric generating stations in commercial service as of December 31, 1996, were as follows:
Total Net Generation Type Name Location Capacity (MW) - -------------- --------------- ------------- ------------- Nuclear...........PVNGS (a) Wintersburg, Arizona 390* Coal..............SJGS (b) Waterflow, New Mexico 750 Coal..............Four Corners (c) Fruitland, New Mexico 192 Gas/Oil...........Reeves Albuquerque, New Mexico 154 Gas/Oil...........Las Vegas Las Vegas, New Mexico 20 ----- 1,506 ===== |
(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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE COMPANY'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The Company's common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Ranges of sales prices of the Company's common stock, reported as composite transactions (Symbol: PNM), and dividends paid on common stock for 1996 and 1995, by quarters, are as follows:
Quarter Range of Ended Sales Prices - ------------------- ------------------------ Dividends High Low per Share --------- ---------- ----------- 1996: December 31.......................... 19 7/8 18 1/8 $0.12 September 30......................... 20 3/8 19 $0.12 June 30.............................. 20 1/2 17 1/4 $0.12 March 31............................. 18 3/4 17 3/8 $0.00 ----- Fiscal Year....................... 20 1/2 17 1/4 $0.36 ===== 1995: December 31.......................... 18 1/4 16 1/8 $0.00 September 30......................... 16 3/8 13 3/4 $0.00 June 30.............................. 14 1/4 12 3/8 $0.00 March 31............................. 13 7/8 12 1/4 $0.00 ----- Fiscal Year....................... 18 1/4 12 1/4 $0.00 ===== |
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
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
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
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.
Capital Structure
The Company's capitalization, including current maturities of long-term debt, at December 31 is shown below:
1996 1995 1994 ----- ----- ----- Common Equity..................................... 50.4% 48.6% 39.2% Preferred Stock................................... 0.9 0.9 4.8 Long-term Debt (including current maturities) .... 48.7 50.5 56.0 ------ ------ ------ Total Capitalization*.......................... 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% ===== ===== ===== |
* 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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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. The independent auditors, Arthur Andersen LLP, are engaged to audit the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
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.

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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
(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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
(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.

(3) Regulatory Assets and Liabilities
The Company is subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 71, Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation, on operations regulated by the NMPUC. Regulatory assets represent probable future revenue to the Company associated with certain costs which will be recovered from customers through the ratemaking process. Regulatory liabilities represent probable future reductions in revenues associated with amounts that are to be credited to customers through the ratemaking process. Regulatory assets and liabilities reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31 relate to the following:
1996 1995 --------- --------- (In thousands) Deferred Income Taxes............................ $ 71,682 $ 71,094 Gas Take-or-Pay Costs............................ 36,335 50,870 Purchased Gas Adjustment Clause.................. 28,873 931 Gas Imputed Revenues............................. 10,362 8,113 Loss on Reacquired Debt.......................... 7,850 6,377 Gas Reservation Fees............................. 7,029 5,622 Deferred Customer Expense on Gas Assets Sale..... 5,260 2,755 Gas Retirees' Health Care Costs.................. 4,437 4,437 Proposed Transmission Line Costs................. 3,111 -- Gas Rate Case Costs.............................. 1,571 1,100 Other............................................ 598 422 --------- --------- Subtotal.................................... 177,108 151,721 --------- --------- Deferred Income Taxes............................

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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
(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
Although the PVNGS LOBs are off-balance sheet debt, these bonds are included in the calculation of the Company's debt to equity ratio as well as various financial coverage ratios by the major rating agencies. 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 and its subsidiaries have a pension plan covering substantially all of their employees, including officers. The plan is non-contributory and provides for benefits to be paid to eligible employees at retirement based primarily upon years of service with the Company and the average of their highest annual base salary for three consecutive years. 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.

In December 1996, the Company's board of directors approved changes to the Company's defined benefit pension plan and implementation of a defined contribution plan no later than January 1, 1998. As a result, the Company recorded a curtailment gain of approximately $13.3 million in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1996.
The following sets forth the plan's funded status and amounts (in thousands) at December 31:

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.

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.

The Company operates and jointly owns SJGS. At December 31, 1996, SJGS Units 1 and 2 are owned on a 50% shared basis with Tucson Electric Power Company, Unit 3 is owned 50% by the Company, 41.8% by Southern California Public Power Authority 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 Public Power Agency, California public power agency ("M-S-R"), 10.04% by the City of Anaheim, California, 8.475% by the City of Farmington, 7.2% by the County of Los Alamos, and 7.028% by Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems.
Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station
The Company has a 10.2% undivided interest in PVNGS. Commercial operation commenced in 1986 for Unit 1 and Unit 2 and 1988 for Unit 3. In 1985 and 1986, the Company completed sale and leaseback transactions for its undivided interests in Units 1 and 2 and certain related common facilities.
In 1992, the Company purchased approximately 22% of the beneficial interests in the PVNGS Units 1 and 2 leases for approximately $17.5 million, recording $158.3 million as utility plant and $140.8 million as long-term debt. In 1993, such utility plant was written down to $46.7 million in conjunction with the electric retail rate reduction.

(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:

Operating lease expense, inclusive of PVNGS leases, was approximately $80.3 million in 1996, $80.0 million in 1995 and $79.1 million in 1994. Aggregate minimum payments to be received in future periods under noncancelable subleases are approximately $6.6 million.
(11) Environmental Issues and Retired Fossil-Fueled Plant Decommissioning Costs
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 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

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.

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.

(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.

(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
(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).
(h) Rent Differential. So long as the Initial Series Note shall be outstanding, each installment of Basic Rent shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, by the Rent Differential. For purposes hereof, "Rent Differential" shall mean, as of any Basic Rent Payment Date, the difference between (i) the aggregate amount of interest due and payable on each Basic Rent Payment Date on the Initial Series Note, and (ii) the aggregate amount of interest that would have been due and payable on such Basic Rent Payment Date on such Note if such Note had at all times during the relevant period borne interest at a rate equal to 10.0% per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be). If, as of any Basic Rent Payment Date, (A) the amount determined in accordance with clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence shall exceed the amount determined in accordance with clause (ii) of such sentence, the amount of Basic Rent due on such Basic Rent Payment Date shall be increased by the Rent Differential, and (B) the amount determined in accordance with such clause (ii) shall exceed the amount determined in accordance with such clause (i), the amount of Basic Rent due on such Basic Rent Payment Date shall be decreased by the Rent Differential.
SECTION 4. Net Lease.
This Facility Lease (as originally executed and as modified,
supplemented and amended from time to time) is a net lease, and the Lessee
hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Lessee's obligation to pay all Rent
hereunder, and the rights of the Lessor in and to such Rent, shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable and shall not be affected by any circumstances of
any character, including, without limitation, (i) any set-off, abatement,
counterclaim, suspension, recoupment, reduction, rescission, defense or other
right or claim which the Lessee may have against the. Lessor, the Owner
Participant, the Indenture Trustee, the Collateral Trust Trustee, the Loan
Participant, the Operating Agent, any ANPP Participant, any vendor or
manufacturer of any equipment or assets included in the Undivided Interest, Unit
1, any Capital Improvement, the Real Property Interest, the PVNGS Site, PVNGS,
or any part of any thereof, or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii)
any defect in or failure of the title, merchantability, condition, design,
compliance with specifications, operation or fitness for use of all or any part
of the Undivided Interest, Unit 1, any Capital Improvement, the Real Property
Interest, the PVNGS Site or PVNGS, (iii) any damage to, or removal, abandonment,
decommissioning, shutdown, salvage, scrapping, requisition taking, loss, theft
or destruction of all or any part of the Undivided Interest, Unit 1, any Capital
Improvement, the Real Property Interest, the PVNGS Site or PVNGS, or any
interference, interruption or cessation in the use or possession thereof or of
the Undivided Interest by the Lessee or by any other Person (including, but
without limitation, the Operating Agent for any other ANPP Participant) for any
reason whatsoever or of whatever duration, (iv) any restriction, prevention or
curtailment of or interference with any use of all or any part of the Undivided
Interest, Unit 1, any Capital Improvement, the Real Property Interest, the PVNGS
Site or PVNGS, (v) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or similar
proceeding by or against the Lessee, the Lessor, the Owner Participant, the
Indenture Trustee, the Collateral Trust Trustee, the Loan Participant, the
Operating Agent, any other ANPP Participant or any other Person, (vi) the
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of this Facility Lease, any other
Transaction Document, any Financing Document, the ANPP Participation Agreement
or any other instrument referred to herein or therein or any other infirmity
herein or therein or any lack of right, power or authority of the Lessor, the
Lessee, the Owner Participant, the Indenture Trustee, the Collateral Trust
Trustee, the Loan Participant or any other Person to enter into this Facility
Lease, any other Transaction Document or any Financing Document, or any doctrine
of force majeure, impossibility, frustration, failure of consideration, or any
similar legal or equitable doctrine that the Lessee's obligation to pay Rent is
excused because the Lessee has not received or will not receive the benefit for
which the Lessee bargained, it being the intent of the Lessee to assume all
risks from all causes whatsoever that the Lessee does not receive such benefit,
(vii) the breach or failure of any warranty or representation made in this
Facility Lease or any other Transaction Document or any Financing Document by
the Lessor, the Owner Participant, the Indenture Trustee, the Collateral Trust
Trustee, the Loan Participant or any other Person, (viii) any amendment or other
change of, or any assignment of rights under, this Facility Lease, any other
Transaction Document, any Financing Document or any ANPP Project Agreement, or
any waiver, action or inaction under or in respect of this Facility Lease, any
other Transaction Document, any Financing Document or any ANPP Project
Agreement, or any exercise or non-exercise of any right or remedy under this Facility Lease, any other Transaction Document, any Financing Document or any ANPP Project Agreement, including, without limitation, the exercise of any foreclosure or other remedy under the Indenture, the Collateral Trust Indenture or this Facility Lease, or the sale of Unit 1, any Capital Improvement, the Undivided Interest, the Real Property Interest, the PVNGS Site or PVNGS, or any part thereof or any interest therein, or (ix) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. The Lessee acknowledges that by conveying the leasehold estate created by this Facility Lease to the Lessee and by putting the Lessee in possession of the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest, the Lessor has performed all of the Lessor's obligations under and in respect of this Facility Lease, except the covenant under Section 6(a) hereof that the Lessor and Persons acting for the Lessor will not interfere with the Lessee's quiet enjoyment of the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest. The Lessee hereby waives, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any and all rights which it may now have or which at any time hereafter may be conferred upon it, by statute or otherwise, to terminate, cancel, quit or surrender this Facility Lease or to effect or claim any diminution or reduction of Rent payable by the Lessee hereunder, including without limitation the provisions of Arizona Revised Statutes Section 33-343, except in accordance with the express terms hereof. If for any reason whatsoever this Facility Lease shall be terminated in whole or in part by operation of law or otherwise, except as specifically provided herein, the Lessee nonetheless agrees to pay to the Lessor or other Person entitled thereto an amount equal to each installment of Basic Rent and all Supplemental Rent at the time such payment would have become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof had this Facility Lease not been terminated in whole or in part. Each payment of Rent made by the Lessee hereunder shall be final and the Lessee shall not seek or have any right to recover all or any part of such payment from the Lessor or any other Person for any reason whatsoever. All covenants, agreements and under takings of the Lessee herein shall be performed at its cost, expense and risk unless expressly otherwise stated. Nothing in this Section 4 shall be construed as a guaranty by the Lessee of any residual value in the Undivided Interest or as a guaranty of the Notes. Any provisions of Section 7(b)(2) or 8(c) of the Participation Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Lessee shall fail to make any payment of Rent to any Person when and as due (taking into account appli cable grace periods), such Person shall have the right at all times, to the exclusion of the ANPP Participants, to demand, collect, sue for, enforce obligations relating to and otherwise obtain all amounts due in respect of such Rent.
SECTION 5. Return of the Undivided Interest.
(a) Return of the Undivided Interest. On the Lease Termination Date,
the Lessee will surrender possession of the Undivided Interest and the Real
Property Interest to the Lessor (or to a Person specified by the Lessor to the
Lessee in writing not less than 6 months prior to the Lease Termination Date)
with full rights as a "Transferee" and the sole "Participant" with respect to
the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest within the meaning of
Section 15.10 of the ANPP Participation Agreement, and will furnish to the
Lessor: (i) copies certified by a senior officer of the Lessee of all
Governmental Action necessary to effect such surrender (including, but without
limitation, appropriate amendments to the License permitting the Lessor (without
the Lessor being required to change its business) or such Person to possess the
Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest with or without the continued
involvement of the Lessee as Agent), which Governmental Action shall be in full
force and effect; and (ii) an opinion of counsel (which may be Mudge Rose
Guthrie Alexander & Ferdon, Snell & Wilmer or another counsel experienced with
NRC and other nuclear matters reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Participant)
to the effect that (A) the Lessee has obtained all Governmental Action and
action under the ANPP Participation Agreement necessary to effect such surrender
by the Lessee and receipt of possession by the Lessor (or to the Person so
specified by the Lessor) and (B) such Governmental Action is in full force and
effect. At the time of such return the Lessee shall pay or have paid all amounts
due and payable, or to become due and payable, by it as an ANPP Participant
under each and every ANPP Project Agreement allocable or chargeable (whether or
not payable during or after the Lease Term) to the Undivided Interest or the
Real Property Interest in respect of any period or periods ending on or prior to
the Lease Termination Date (including, but without limitation, all amounts
payable with respect to any and all discretionary Capital Improvements to Unit 1
or the PVNGS Site approved or authorized (without the concurrence of the Owner
Participant) within the 3-year period preceding the end of the Lease Term,
whether or not implementation thereof has been completed on or prior to the
Lease Termination Date), and the Undivided Interest and the Real Property
Interest shall be free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens
described in clauses (i), (v) (other than those arising by, through or under the
Lessee alone), (vi), (vii) (other than as aforesaid), (viii) (other than as
aforesaid), (ix) and (x) of the definition of such term) and in the condition
and state of repair required by Section 8. In the event that on or prior to the
Lease Termination Date there shall have occurred a default by any ANPP
Participant (other than the Lessee) under the ANPP Participation Agreement and
such default shall not have been cured by the defaulting ANPP Participant, then
(i) the Lessee agrees to indemnify and hold the Lessor (and each successor,
assign and transferee thereof) harmless against any and all obligations under
the ANPP Participation Agreement with respect to contributions or payments
required to be made thereby as a result of such default and (ii) the Lessor (and
each successor, assign and transferee thereof) agrees to reimburse the Lessee
for all amounts paid by the Lessee pursuant to the foregoing clause (i) to the
extent, but only to the extent, that the Lessor (or such successor, assign or
transferee) shall have actually received proceeds from the sale of the
Generation Entitlement Share of the defaulting ANPP Participant as a result of
the payment made by the Lessee pursuant to the foregoing clause (i), and, to the
extent the Lessor (or such successor, assign or transferee) shall have received
such proceeds, the amount to be reimbursed to the Lessee pursuant to this clause
(ii) shall include interest at the Prime Rate from the date of any payment by
the Lessee pursuant to the foregoing clause (i) through the date of
reimbursement of such amount pursuant to this clause (ii).
(b) Disposition Services. The Lessee agrees that if it does not exercise its option to renew or purchase as provided in Sections 12 and 13, respectively, then during the last thirty-six months of the Lease Term, the Lessee will fully cooperate with the Lessor in connection with the Lessor's efforts to lease or dispose of the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest including using the Lessee's reasonable efforts to lease or dispose of the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest. The Lessor agrees to reimburse the Lessee for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Lessee incurred at the request of the Lessor or the Owner Participant in connection with such cooperation and such efforts.
SECTION 6. Warranty of the Lessor.
(a) Quiet Enjoyment. The Lessor warrants that until the Lease Termination Date, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lessee's use and possession of Unit 1, including the Undivided Interest, shall not be interrupted by the Lessor or any Person claiming by, through or under the Lessor, and their respective successors and assigns.
(b) Disclaimer of Other Warranties. The warranty set forth in
Section 6(a) is in lieu of all other warranties of the Lessor or the Owner
Participant, whether written, oral or implied, with respect to this Facility
Lease, Unit 1, any Capital Improvement, the Undivided Interest, PVNGS, the Real
Property Interest or the PVNGS Site. As among the Owner Participant, the Loan
Participant, the Indenture Trustee, the Collateral Trust Trustee, the Lessor and
the Lessee, execution by the Lessee of this Facility Lease shall be conclusive
proof of the compliance of Unit 1 (including any Capital Improvement), the

The Lessee shall not, without the prior written consent of the Lessor and the Owner Participant, part with the possession of, or suffer or allow to pass out of its possession, the Undivided Interest, the Real Property Interest or any interest therein, except to the extent required pursuant to the ANPP Participation Agreement or expressly permitted by the provisions of this Facility Lease or any other Transaction Document.
(b) Assignment by Lessor as Security for Lessor's Obligations. To secure the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes, the Lessor will assign to the Indenture Trustee its right, title and interest to receive certain payments of Rent (not including, in any event, Excepted Payments), to the extent provided in the Indenture and may assign to the Indenture Trustee its right, title and interest in the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest as contemplated by Section 9(j). The Lessee hereby (a) consents to such assignment pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, (b) agrees to pay directly to the Indenture Trustee at the Indenture Trustee's Office (so long as the lien of the Indenture has not been satisfied and discharged and the Lessor is obligated thereunder) all amounts of Rent (other than Excepted Payments) due or to become due to the Lessor that shall be required to be paid to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, (c) agrees that the right of the Indenture Trustee to any such payments shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, those circumstances set forth in Section 4 and (d) agrees that, to the extent provided in the Indenture and until the Indenture is discharged in accordance with its terms, the Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights of the Lessor hereunder with respect to Assigned Payments as if the Indenture Trustee had originally been named herein as the Lessor.
SECTION 12. Lease Renewal.
Subject to the notice requirements set forth in Section 13(a), at the end of the Basic Lease Term, provided that no Default, Event of Default, Event of Loss or Deemed Loss Event shall have occurred and be continuing and the Notes shall have been paid in full, the Lessee shall have the right to renew the term of this Facility Lease for a period commencing January 15, 2015, and ending on the later of January 15, 2017 and the end of the Maximum Option Period (the Renewal Term), during which the Basic Rent payable shall be the rental provided in Section 3(a)(iii) and one-half of the rental provided in Section 21.
SECTION 13. Notices for Renewal or Purchase; Purchase Options.
(a) Notice; Determination of values; Appraisal Procedure. Not later
than three years nor earlier than five years prior to the expiration date of the
Basic Lease Term, and not later than three years nor earlier than five years
prior to the expiration date of the Renewal Term, as the case may be, the Lessee
shall give to the Lessor written notice of its election either to (A) return the
Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest to the Lessor pursuant to
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.
The term Event of Default, wherever used herein, shall mean any of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary, or come about or be effected by operation of law, or be pursuant to or in compliance with any Applicable Law or Governmental Action)

Lease; or
(iii) the Lessee shall fail to perform or observe any covenant or agreement to be performed or observed by it under Section 10(b)(3)(viii) of the Participation Agreement and such failure shall continue for a period of 30 days after there shall have been given to the Lessee by the Lessor or the Owner Participant a notice specifying such failure and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or
(iv) the Lessee shall fail to perform its agreements set forth in
Section 5(a) hereof; or
(v) the Lessee shall fail to perform or observe any covenant, condition or agreement (other than covenants, conditions or agreements referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) above) to be performed or observed by it under this Facility Lease or any other Transaction Document, and such failure shall continue for a period of 30 days after there shall have been given to the Lessee by the Lessor or the Owner Participant a notice specifying such failure and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or
(vi) any representation or warranty made by the Lessee in this Facility Lease, any other Transaction Document (other than the Tax Indemnification Agreement) or any agreement, document or certificate delivered by the Lessee in connection herewith or therewith shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when any such representation or warranty was made or given and shall remain material and materially incorrect at the time in question; or
(vii) the Lessee shall commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, or shall consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking of possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall take any corporate action to authorize any of the foregoing; or an involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced against the Lessee seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, and such involuntary case or other proceeding shall remain undismissed or unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days; or
(viii) final judgment for the payment of money in excess of $1,000,000 shall be rendered against the Lessee and the Lessee shall not have discharged the same or provided for its discharge in accordance with its terms or bonded the same or procured a stay of execution thereof within 60 days from the entry thereof; or

Section 23.2 (or any comparable successor provision) of the ANPP
Participation Agreement respecting a default thereunder by the Lessee and
the lapse of 20 Business Days from the giving of such notice without the
Lessee having cured such default; provided, however, that for purposes of
this clause (2) if the Lessee shall have, in good faith, disputed the
existence or nature of a default and such dispute shall have become the
subject of an arbitration under Section 24 (or any comparable successor
provision) of the ANPP Participation Agreement, such 20 Business Day
period shall commence on the date of the final determination of the board
of arbitrators under such Section 24; or

SECTION 16. Remedies.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and so long as the same shall be continuing, the Lessor may, at its option, declare this Facility Lease to be in default by written notice to such effect given to the Lessee, and may exercise one or more of the following remedies as the Lessor in its sole discretion shall elect:
(i) the Lessor may, by notice to the Lessee, rescind or terminate this Facility Lease;

plus an amount (not less than zero) equal to the Fair Market Sales Value
(determined without regard to the obligation of the Lessee under Section
10(b)(3)(xi) of the Participation Agreement) of the Undivided Interest and
the Real Property Interest (determined on the basis of the actual
condition of Unit 1) determined as of such last Basic Rent Payment Date

actual payment) and upon receipt of such payment the Lessor shall (or may
prior to the receipt of such payment) Transfer to the Lessee the Undivided
Interest and the Real Property Interest); provided, however, that the
Lessor may not exercise the foregoing remedy if the Lessor shall have
failed to Transfer the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest
to the bidder (which shall not be the Lessee or an Affiliate of the
Lessee) that shall have submitted the highest cash bid on or before the
date on which such Event of Default arose excluding, however, any such
cash bid which the Lessor or the Owner Participant determines was not
submitted in good faith, or as to which the bidder fails to certify to the
Lessor such information as the Lessor or Owner Participant may reasonably
request in order to determine whether or not such bid was submitted in
good faith (and the Lessor agrees that it will, if and to the extent so
requested by the Lessee on or after the date 90 days preceding such last
Basic Rent Payment Date, use reasonable efforts (at the expense of the
Lessee) for a period ending on the day 90 days after such last Basic Rent
Payment Date, to find a Person willing to submit such cash bid; provided,
however, that the failure of the Lessor to do so shall not relieve the
Lessee of its obligations under this clause (vii)).
(b) No Release. No rescission or termination of this Facility Lease, in whole or in part, or repossession of the Undivided Interest or the Real Property Interest or exercise of any remedy under paragraph (a) of this Section 16 shall, except as specifically provided therein, relieve the Lessee of any of its liabilities and obligations hereunder. In addition, the Lessee shall be liable, except as otherwise provided above, for any and all unpaid Rent due hereunder before, after or during the exercise of any of the foregoing remedies, including all reasonable legal fees and other costs and expenses incurred by the Lessor or the Owner Participant by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default or the exercise of the Lessor's remedies with respect thereto. At any sale of the Undivided Interest, the Real Property Interest or any part thereof pursuant to this Section 16, the Owner Participant, the Lessor or the Indenture Trustee may bid for and purchase such property.
(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.
(d) Exercise of Other Rights or Remedies. In addition to all other rights and remedies provided in this Section 16, the Lessor may, except to the extent expressly limited by provisions of this Section 16, exercise any other right or remedy that may be available to it under Applicable Law or proceed by appropriate court action to enforce the terms hereof or to recover damages for the breach hereof.
(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.

If the Lessee shall fail to make any payment of Rent to be made by it, or shall fail to perform or comply with any of its other agreements contained herein, or fail to make any payment to be made by it under any ANPP Project Agreement, or shall fail to perform or comply with any of its other agreements contained in any ANPP Project Agreement, either the Lessor or the Owner Participant may, but shall not be obligated to, tender such payment, or effect such performance or compliance, and the amount of such payment and the amount of all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' and other professionals' fees and expenses) of the Lessor or the Owner Participant, as the case may be, incurred in connection with such payment or the performance of or compliance with such agreement, as the case may be, together with interest thereon at the Penalty Rate, shall be deemed Supplemental Rent, payable by the Lessee upon demand. 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.
SECTION 20. Additional Covenants.
The Lessee agrees to comply with and to pay, as Supplemental Rent, all amounts payable by it under the provisions of Section 13 of the Participation Agreement and under the provisions of the Tax Indemnification Agreement, which provisions are incorpo rated herein by this reference as fully as if set forth in full at this place.

pursuant to the foregoing clause (i) through the date of reimbursement

interpretation by Governmental Authority having jurisdiction of,
Applicable Law, including without limitation the Price-Anderson Act, the
Atomic Energy Act and the regulations of the NRC, in each case as in

Procedure to determine the remaining Economic Useful Life of Unit 1 as
of July 15, 2014 and (ii) on the Rent Payment Date occurring one year
prior to the end of the Renewal Term, if any, the Lessee shall initiate

of Unit 1 as of the date six months prior to the end of the Renewal
Term. The Lessee and the Lessor agree to use their best efforts to
ensure that such determination of remaining economic useful life is made
no later than July 15, 2014 (in the case of the first such
determination) and six months prior to the end of the Renewal Term (in
the case of the second such determination) "
6091.CHASE.DEBT. 160:1
(c) Section 15(iv) of the Facility Lease is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
"(iv) (1) the Lessee shall fail to perform its agreements set forth in Section 5(a) hereof or (2) the remaining Economic Useful Life of Unit 1, as determined under Section 8(g) if required thereby to be so determined, shall be (x) as of the data six months prior to the end of the Basic Lease Term, less than five and one-half years or (y) as of the date six months prior to the end of the Renewal Term, three and one-half years; or"
(d) Section 16(a) (vii) of the Facility Lease is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
"(vii) in the case of an Event of Default specified in clause

the Lease Term, and (B), in the case of an Event of Default specified in
subclause (2) of said clause (iv), the last Basic Rent Payment Date of
the Lease Term, that the Lessee pay to the Lessor, and the Lessee shall
pay to the Lessor, on such payment date, as liquidated damages for loss
of a bargain and not as a penalty, any unpaid Rent due through such last
Basic Rent Payment Date plus an amount (not less than zero) equal to the
Fair Market Sales Value (determined without regard to the obligation of
the Lessee under Section l0(b)(3)(xi) of the Participation Agreement) of
the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest (determined on the
basis of the actual condition of Unit 1) determined as of such last
Basic Rent Payment Date (together with interest on such amount at the
interest rate specified in Section 3(b) (iii) from such last Basic Rent
Payment Date to the date of actual payment) and upon receipt of such
payment the Lessor shall (or may prior to the receipt of such payment)
609l.CHASE.DEBT. 160:1
Transfer to the Lessee the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest); provided, however, that the Lessor may not exercise the foregoing remedy if the Lessor shall have failed to Transfer the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest to the bidder (which shall not be the Lessee or an Affiliate of the Lessee) that shall have submitted the highest cash bid on or before the date on which such Event of Default arose excluding, however, any such cash bid which the Lessor or the Owner Participant determines was not submitted in good faith, or as to which the bidder fails to certify to the Lessor such information as the Lessor or Owner Participant may reasonably request in order to determine whether or not such bid was submitted in good faith (and the Lessor agrees that it will, if and to the extent so requested by the Lessee on or after the date 90 days preceding such last Basic Rent Payment Date, use reasonable efforts (at the expense of the Lessee) for a period ending on the day 90 days after such last Basic Rent Payment Date, to find a Person willing to submit such cash bid; provided, however, that the failure of the Lessor to do so shall not relieve the Lessee of its obligations under this clause (vii))."

(b) the "aggregate liability" for a single "nuclear incident" of "persons indemnified" shall not exceed $13 billion (assuming 101 operating nuclear facilities participating in the deferred premium or similar plan referred to in clause (c) of paragraph (A) above and subject to adjustment in an amount not exceeding (X) $126 million for each increase or decrease in said number of operating nuclear facilities and (Y) the aggregate of all changes in such "aggregate liability" to reflect the effects of inflation contemplated pursuant to clause (C) of paragraph (A) above (but without giving effect to clause (ii) of the proviso set forth in such clause)); and

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
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
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
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. 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 75-2a, 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 such Basic Rent Payment Date on all Notes then Outstanding, and (ii) unless the Lessee shall have assumed the Notes or acquired the Owner Participant's beneficial interest in the Trust following the grant of a security interest in the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, 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 the 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.
6091. BURNHAM.1106.47:1
(h) Rent Differential. Prior to the Refunding Date, each installment (if any) of Basic Rent shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, by the Rent Differential. For purposes hereof, Rent Differential shall mean, as of any Basic Rent Payment Date, the difference between (i) the aggregate amount of interest due and payable on such Basic Rent Payment Date on the Notes then Outstanding, and (ii) the aggregate amount of interest that would have been due and payable on such Basic Rent Payment Date on such Notes if such Notes had at all times during the relevant period borne interest at a rate equal to 10.5% per annum (computed on the basis of a 36O-day year of twelve 30-day months). If, as of any Basic Rent Payment Date, (A) the amount determined in accordance with clause (y) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be greater than the amount determined in accordance with clause (ii) of such Sentence, the amount of Basic Rent due on such Basic Rent Payment Date shall be increased by the Rent Differential, and (B) the amount determined in accordance with such clause (ii) shall exceed the amount determined in accordance with such clause (i), the amount of Basic Rent due on such Basic Rent Payment Date shall be decreased by the Rent Differential.
SECTION 4. Net Lease.
This Facility Lease (as originally executed and as modified, supplemented and amended from time to time) is a net lease, and the Lessee hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Lessee's obligation to pay all Rent hereunder, and the rights of the Lessor in and to such Rent, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall not be affected by any circumstances of any character, including, without imitation, (i) any set-off, abatement, counterclaim, suspension, recoupement, reduction, rescission, defense or other right or claim which the Lessee may have against the Lessor, the Owner Participant, the Indenture Trustee, the Collateral Trust Trustee, the Loan Participant, the Operating Agent, any ANPP Participant, any vendor or manufacturer of any equipment or assets included in the Undivided Interest, Unit 2, any Capital Improvement, the Real Property Interest, the PVNGS site, PVNGS, or any part of any thereof, or any other person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) any defect in or failure of the title, merchantability, condition, design, compliance with specifications, operation or fitness for use of all or any part

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.

(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
6091. CHASEUl 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 1.5% of the Purchase Price or (iii) any other change (other than a change in items 4, 5, a (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 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 or' a basis consistent with the original calculations, or
(ii) compute and provide to the Lessee, the Lessor, the Owner Participant, the
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 arid 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 Rant 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 (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).

The Lessee acknowledges that by conveying the leasehold estate created by this Facility Lease to the Lessee and by putting the Lessee in possession of the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest, the Lessor has performed all of the Lessor's obligations under and in respect of this Facility Lease, except the covenant under Section 6(a) hereof that the Lessor and Persons acting for the Lessor will not interfere with the Lessee's quiet enjoyment of the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest. The Lessee hereby waives, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any and all rights which it may now have or which at any time hereafter may be conferred

Each payment of Rent made by the Lessee hereunder shall be final and the Lessee shall not seek or have any right to recover all or any part of such payment from the Lessor or any other Person for any reason whatsoever. All covenants., agreements and undertakings of the Lessee herein shall be performed at its cost, expense and risk unless expressly otherwise stated.

Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest with or without the continued
involvement of the Lessee as Agent), which Governmental Action shall be in full
force and effect; and (ii) an opinion of counsel (which may be nudge Rose
Guthrie Alexander & Ferdon, Snell & Wilmer or another counsel experienced with
NRC and other nuclear matters reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Participant)

assign and transferee thereof) harmless against any and all obligations under

the ANPP Participation Agreement with respect to contributions or payments
required to be made thereby as a result of such default and (ii) the Lessor (and
each successor, assign and transfered thereof) agrees to reimburse the Lessee

extent, but only to the extent, that the Lessor (or such successor, assign or
transferee) shall have actually received proceeds from the sale of the
Generation Entitlement share of the defaulting ANPP Participant as a result of
the payment made by the Lessee pursuant to the foregoing clause (i) and, to the
extent the Lessor (or such successor, assign or transferee) shall have received
such proceeds, the amount to be reimbursed to the Lessee pursuant to this clause
(ii) shall include interest at the Prime Rate from the date of any payment by
the Lessee pursuant to the foregoing clause (i) through the date of
reimbursement of such amount pursuant to this clause (ii). For purposes of this
Section 5(a) a "Price-Anderson Event" shall mean any change in, or new
interpretation by Governmental Authority having jurisdiction of, Applicable Law,
including without limitation the Price-Anderson Act, the Atomic Energy Act and
the regulations of the NRC, in each case as in effect on the Closing Date, but
only if such change is specified in clauses (2) (i) through (iv) of the
definition of "Deemed Loss Event" (other than a change which is specified in
clause (A) of the definition of "Acceptable Change).
(b) Disposition Services. The Lessee agrees that if it does not exercise its option to renew or purchase as provided in Sections 12 and 13, respectively, then during the last thirty-six months of the Lease Term, the Lessee will fully cooperate with the Lessor in connection with the Lessor's efforts to lease or dispose of the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest, including using the Lessee's reasonable efforts to lease or dispose of the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest.

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.
(d) Exercise of Other Rights or Remedies. In addition to all other rights and remedies provided in this Section 16, the Lessor may, except td the extent expressly limited by provisions of this Section 16, exercise any other right or remedy that may be available to it under Applicable Law or proceed by appropriate court action to enforce the terms hereof or to recover damages for the breach hereof.
(e) Special Cure Right of Lessee. In the event a "Notice of Default is given under Section l5(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,
6091.CHASEU1.LEASE.47:1
the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor all Rent due on such Basic Rent Payment Date,
plus an amount equal to the excess at (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 (a) and assumption by the Lessee of all the
obligations and liabilities of the Owner Trustee under the Indenture and the
Motes 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 (a) (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 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.

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

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
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).

6091.CHASEU2.LEASE.47:1
date 90 days preceding such last Basic Rent Payment Date, use reasonable efforts (at the expense of the Lessee) for a period ending on the day 90 days after such last Basic Rent Payment Date, to find a Person willing to submit such cash bid; provided, however, that the failure of the Lessor to do so shall not relieve the Lessee of its obligations under this clause (vii)).
(b) No Release. No rescission or termination of this Facility Lease, in whole or in part, or repossession of the Undivided Interest or the Real Property Interest or exercise of any remedy under paragraph (a) of this Section 16 shall, except as specifically provided therein, relieve the Lessee of any of its liabilities and obligations hereunder. In addition, the Lessee shall be liable, except as otherwise provided above, for any and all unpaid Rent due hereunder before, after or during the exercise of any of the foregoing remedies, including all reasonable legal fees and other costs and expenses incurred by the Lessor or the Owner Participant by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default or the exercise of the Lessor's remedies with respect thereto. At any sale of the Undivided Interest, the Real Property Interest or any part thereof pursuant to this Section 16, the Owner Participant, the Lessor or the Indenture Trustee may bid for and purchase such property.
(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 16(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 obligations
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), (S) or (C) of such Section 16(a) (v) , if the
6091.CHASEU2.LEASE.47:1
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) . 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 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.
(d) Exercise of Other Rights or Remedies. In addition to all
other rights and remedies provided in this Section 16, the Lessor may, except to
the extent expressly limited by provisions of this Section 16, exercise any
other right or remedy that may be available to it under Applicable Law or
proceed by appropriate court action to enforce the terms hereof or to recover
damages for the breach hereof.
(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,
6091.CHASEU2.LEASE.47:1
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 indenture1 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 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.

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 2), with each contributor to receive a percentage of such Generation Entitlement Share equal to the percentage of the cure contributed thereby.
6091.CHASEU2.LEASE.47:1

SECTION 21. Lease of Real Property Interest.
Pursuant to the Deed and the Assignment of Beneficial Interest, the Lessee has sold to the Lessor the Real Property Interest.

6091.CHASEU2.LEASE.47:1
(2) The obligations of the Lessee to pay Supplemental Rent and
the obligations of the Lessee under Sections 5, 16, 19 and 20 hereof shall
survive the expiration or termination of this Facility Lease. The extension of
any applicable statute of limitations by the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee, the Lessee, the Owner Participant, the Loan Participant or any
Indemnitee shall not affect such survival. The obligations of the Lessee under
Section 20 are expressly made for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by,
any Indemnitee, separately or together, without declaring this Facility Lease to
be in default and notwithstanding any assignment by the Lessor of this Facility
Lease or any of its rights thereunder or any disposition of all or any part of
any interest in the Undivided Interest, the Real Property Interest, Unit 2 or

requested by, the Indemnitee entitled thereto upon writ-ten demand by such
Indemnitee.

To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Lessee hereby waives any provision of law which renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

(16) Regulation. So long as the Facility Lease is in effect, assuming the proper filing of Form U 7D with the SEC on or within 30 days after the Closing Date, under Applicable Law now in effect, neither the Loan Participant, the Owner Participant, FNB nor the Owner Trustee will be or become, solely by reason of either its entering into this Participation Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which any of them is, or is to become, a party, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, subject to regulation (i) as an "electric utility", an "electric utility company", a "public utility", a "public utility company", a "holding company", or a "public utility holding company" by any Federal, state (other than, as to the Owner Participant, New York, as to which no representation. or warranty is given) or local public utility commission or other regulatory body, authority or group (including, without limitation, the SEC, the FERC, the MMPSC or the Arizona Corporation Commission). or (ii) in any manner by the NRC. The Lessee is not, and covenants that (except in connection with a transaction permitted by Section l0(b)(3)(ii) hereof) it will not become, a "holding company" or a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company" or an "affiliate" of a "holding company" within the meaning of the Holding Company Act. The Lessee is not subject to regulation by the Arizona Corporation Commission as a public utility or a public service corporation.
(17) Authorizations, etc. The Lessee has not failed to obtain any Governmental Action or other authorization, license, approval, permit, consent, right or interest, where a failure to obtain such would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Lessee to carry on its business as presently conducted or as described in the Registration Statement.
6091.50.2831.27:2
(18) No Default, etc. The Lessee is not in default, and no condition exists that, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default by the Lessee, under any material mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, lease, contract or other instrument or agreement to which the Lessee is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets may be bound.
(19) Certain Documents. True and correct copies of the ANPP Participation Agreement, the Material Project Agreements and the Existing Mortgage have been delivered to the Owner Participant's Special Counsel for and on behalf of the Owner Participant prior to the date of execution hereof. No ANPP Project Agreement will, on and after the closing Date, materially and adversely interfere with ( i ) (except for the AMP? Participation Agreement in the case of the Generation Entitlement Share only) the title of the Owner Trustee to the Undivided Interest, the related Generation Entitlement Share or the Real Property Interest or (ii) except for the ANPP Participation Agreement, the use of, or the exercise by the Owner Trustee of its rights under the Facility Lease, the Deed, the Assignment of Beneficial Interest and the Assignment and Assumption with respect to, the Undivided Interest, the related Generation Entitlement Share, and the interests in the PVNGS Site (including the Real Property Interest) granted or to be granted under the Deed, the Assignment of Beneficial Interest and the Assignment and Assumption. No payment default or other default of a material nature by the Lessee has occurred and is continuing under the Existing Mortgage or any ANPP Project Agreement. The AMPP Participation Agreement and each other ANPP Project Agreement are in full force and effect and no breach of any thereof, to the Lessee's knowledge, by any other party thereto has occurred and is continuing, except where the failure to be in force and effect or such breach would not have a material and adverse effect on the Undivided Interest, the related Generation Entitlement Share, the Real Property Interest, Unit 1 or the rights, interests and benefits of the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant under any Transaction
6091.50.2831.27:2
Document. Upon execution and delivery of the Mortgage Release and the
recordation thereof or of UCC releases in respect thereof, (i) the
mortgagee and secured party thereunder will have released the lien of
the Existing Mortgage on the Undivided Interest, the related Generation
Entitlement Share and the Real Property Interest and (ii) the rights of
the Owner Trustee in the Undivided Interest and the Real Property
Interest and the related Generation Entitlement Share will not be, and
will not become, subject or subordinate to the rights of any Person,
except the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture and the ANPP
Participants to the extent expressly set forth in the ANPP
Participation Agreement (as in effect on the Closing Date) and except
as may otherwise expressly be permitted by the Facility Lease. The lien
of the Existing Mortgage does not extend to rights of PNM under
Transaction Documents (other than the Lessee's leasehold interest under
the Facility Lease) or to the Generation Entitlement Share related to
the Undivided Interest. Neither Section 15.6.3.5 of the ANPP
Participation Agreement nor Section 8(c)(3) of this Participation
Agreement (i) requires the Owner Trustee to accept any cash bid
referred to therein or (ii) otherwise materially impedes the Owner
Trustee's right, upon a failure by the Lessee to purchase or otherwise
reacquire the Undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest, to
conclude a sale or lease to a Person constituting a "Transferee" under
Section 15.10 of the ANPP Participation Agreement
(20) Unit 1. The description of unit 1 set forth in Exhibit B to the Bill of Sale is correct and sufficiently complete to identify such property.

maintain the Decommissioning Fund; if Applicable Law or
Governmental Action shall thereafter impose upon the Lessee an
obligation to create and maintain such a fund, any fund in

be deemed satisfactory to the Owner Participant for purposes of
the preceding sentence; provided, however, the Lessee shall in
any and all events maintain and fund such an external reserve in
accordance with prudent utility practice and thereafter review
such fund, at least every five years after its creation, and
modify the same as to amount or rate of accumulation to bring
the same, if necessary, into conformity with prudent utility
practice. (B) Except to the extent provided in clauses (C) and

All payments by the Lessee in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents shall be free of withholdings of any nature whatsoever (and at the time that the Lessee is required to make any payment upon which any withholding is required, the Lessee shall pay an additional amount such that :he net amount actually received by the Person entitled to receive such payment will, after such withholding, equal the full amount of the payment then due) and shall be free of expense to each Indemnitee for collection or other charges. If, for any reason, the Lessee is required to make any payment to a taxing authority with respect to, or as a result of, any withholding tax imposed on any Indemnitee in respect of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents by reason of the Indemnitee not being a united States person, then such Indemnitee shall pay to the Lessee on an After-Tax-Basis an amount which equals the amount paid by the Lessee with respect to or as a result of such withholding tax. whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, except as provided in Section 13(b)(2), the Lessee shall pay, and shall indemnify, defend and hold each Indemnitee harmless, on

(2) Exclusions from General Tax Indemnity. Section 13(b)(l)(except for the first sentence thereof) shall not apply to:
(i) Taxes based on, or measured by, net income imposed by the united States federal government (including, without limitation, any minimum Taxes, capital gains Taxes, any Taxes on, or measured by; items of tax preference, surcharge., additions to tax, penalties, fines or other charges in respect thereof);
(ii) Taxes (other than sales, use or rental Taxes) imposed by any state or local government or subdivision thereof or other taxing authority in the United States or by any foreign country or subdivision thereof or by any foreign or international taxing authority that are based on, or measured by, the net income, items of tax preference, net worth or capital of an Indemnitee, or other taxes imposed in lieu of any such Taxes, except, with respect to the Owner Trustee, the Trust, the Trust Estate,. the Owner Participant and any Affiliate of any thereof, any such Taxes imposed by a jurisdiction as a result of a relation or asserted relation of such jurisdiction to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or the Financing Documents or as a result of the activities of the Lessee, any ANPP Participant or any Affiliate of any thereof in such jurisdiction; provided, however, that the amount of any such excepted Taxes shall be calculated (i) on a pro forma basis assuming that such Indemnitee has no other taxable income or loss in the taxing jurisdiction imposing the Tax (provided that such calculation shall take into account any allocation or apportionment method
6091.50.2831.272
used by such jurisdiction except to the extent that such method takes into account the income or activities of business entities organized outside the united States) and is able to use any net operating loss carryovers (generated solely by reason of and solely attributable to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or the Financing Documents, and for this purpose a similar pro forma calculation shall be made) to the fullest extent, reasonably determined, in good faith, by the Indemnitee, and (ii) by taking into account any actual reduction in Taxes in such jurisdiction or in any other jurisdiction in which such Indemnitee is subject to tax (whither such reduction results from the operation of allocation or apportionment formulas, from credits or otherwise, except that no account shall be taken of any actual reductions of tax benefits described in the Tax Indemnification Agreement or any tax liability generated by transactions other than those contemplated by the Transaction Documents or the Financing Documents) which reduction results from the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or the Financing Documents; provided further, however, that, with respect to any Tax based on, or measured by, capital or net worth, the Lessee's indemnity obligation shall not exceed the incremental portion of such Tax attributable to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents;
(iii) Taxes attributable to the undivided Interest or the Real Property Interest to the extent that such Taxes are imposed with respect to any period after (a) the Lease Termination Date and (b) the date possession of the undivided Interest and the Real Property Interest has been delivered to the Lessor as provided in Section 5(a) of the Facility Lease, unless such Taxes relate to events occurring or matters arising prior to or simultaneously with either at the aforementioned dates;
6091.50.2831.27:2
(iv) Taxes on or with respect to an Indemnitee arising from any voluntary transfer by such Indemnitee of any interest in the undivided Interest, the Real Property Interest, the Trust Estate, the Indenture Estate, the Notes or any other right or interest arising under the Transaction Documents or the Financing Documents, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or Taxes arising from an involuntary transfer by such Indemnitee of any such interest arising from a bankruptcy or similar proceeding in which such Indemnitee is the debtor unless such bankruptcy or other proceeding was caused, in whole or in part, by the Lessee or any Affiliate thereof;
(v) Taxes based on or measured by any fees, commission or compensation received by an Indemnitee for acting as trustee, or for other services rendered, in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or the Financing Documents;
(vi) Taxes on or with respect to an Indemnitee arising by reason of. such Indemnitee's failure to file proper and timely reports or returns (unless the filing of such reports or returns is the obligation of the Lessee under the Transaction Documents or the Financing Documents) and any penalties or additions to tax imposed by reason of such Indemnitee's failure to comply with the laws imposing such Tax or its material failure to comply with its obligations under Section 13 (b)(6), unless such failure results from any action of the Lessee or failure by the Lessee to comply with any provision of the Transaction Documents or the Financing Documents, including the failure to provide necessary information;

(viii) Taxes imposed on or with respect to a transferee (or subsequent transferee) of an original Indemnitee (other than a transferee or subsequent transferee that is an Affiliate of its transferor) to the extent that the amount of such Taxes exceeds the amount of taxes that would have been imposed on or with respect to such original Indemnitee but for the transfer to such transferee or, if imposed, would not have been subject to indemnification under this Section 13(b), provided, however, that the exception in this clause shall not apply to any transferee where such transfer shall have occurred during the continuance of an Event of Default;
(ix) any Taxes imposed on the Lessor or the Owner Participant resulting from, or which would not have occurred but for, Lessor's Liens or Owner Participant's Liens and any Taxes imposed on the Indenture Trustee which would not have occurred but for Indenture Trustee's Liens;
(x) any Tax that results solely from the activities of an Indemnitee in any taxing jurisdiction which activities are unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or the Financing Documents;
(xi) any Tax on or with respect to an Indemnitee resulting from any amendment or modification entered into by such Indemnitee to any Transaction Document or Financing Document if the Lessee is not a party to such amendment or modification or has not consented to such amendment or modification, in each
6091.50.2831.27:2
case unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and
(xii) any Tax on or with respect to an Indemnitee resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (it being understood that no Indemnitee is responsible for determining whether a Tax is payable if the Lessee is required to indemnify the Indemnitee for such Tax under this section 13(b));
provided, however, that the foregoing subclauses (i) through (xii) shall not apply to any Tax imposed on the Loan Participant or the indenture estate under the Collateral Trust Indenture.
(3) Calculation of General Tax Indemnity Payments. If any
Indemnitee realizes a net permanent tax benefit by reason of the payment
of any indemnity under section 13(b), such Indemnitee shall pay the
Lessee, but not before the Lessee shall have made all payments
theretofore due to such Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 13(b), an
amount equal to the lesser of (x) the sum of such tax benefit plus any
other net tax benefit realized by such Indemnitee as the result of any
payment made by such Indemnitee pursuant to this sentence (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)(6) hereof) or
(y) the amount of such payment by the Lessee to such Indemnitee and any
other payment by the Lessee to such Indemnitee theretofore made pursuant
to this Section 13(b) less the aggregate amount of all prior payments by
such Indemnitee to the Lessee pursuant to this clause (y) with respect
to amounts paid pursuant to section 13(b) (1), it being intended that no
Indemnitee should realize a net tax benefit pursuant to this Section
13(b) unless the Lessee shall first have been made whole for any
payments by it to such Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 13(b);
provided, however, that in computing any permanent tax benefit, such
Indemnitee shall be deemed first to have utilized all deductions and
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 a written claim shall be made against any Indemnitee for any Tax for which the Lessee is obligated pursuant to this Section 13(b), such Indemnitee shall notify the Lessee promptly of such claim but the failure so to notify the Lessee shall not affect any obligation of the Lessee pursuant to this Section 13(b). 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
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
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
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
6091.50. 2831. 27:2
satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and Such Indemnitee within a reasonable time prior to the time such report, return or statement is to be filed or, where such return, statement or report shall be required to reflect items in addition to any obligations of the Lessee under or arising out of this Section 13(b), provide the Owner Trustee and such Indemnitee with information sufficient to permit such return, statement or report properly to be made with respect to any obligations of the Lessee under or arising out of this Section 13(b) (and the Lessee shall hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits and reasonable costs arising out of any insufficiency or inaccuracy in any such return, statement report or information). The Lessee shall not have any right to examine the tax returns of any Indemnitee.
(6) General Tax Indemnity-Payment. All Taxes shall be paid when due and payable and, unless otherwise requested by the appropriate Indemnitee, the Lessee shall pay any Taxes for which it is liable pursuant to this Section 13(b) directly to the appropriate taxing authority and shall pay such appropriate Indemnitee promptly on demand in immediately available funds any amount due such Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 13(b) with respect to such Taxes. Any such demand shall specify in reasonable detail the payment and the facts upon which the right to payment is based. Each Indemnitee shall promptly forward to the Lessee any notice, bill or advice received by it concerning any Taxes. Within 30 days after the date of each payment by the Lessee of any Taxes, the Lessee shall furnish the appropriate Indemnitee the original or a certified copy of a receipt for the Lessee's payment of such Taxes or such other evidence of payment of such Taxes as is acceptable to such Indemnitee. The Lessee shall also furnish promptly upon request such data as any Indemnitee may require to enable such Indemnitee to comply with the requirements of any taxing jurisdiction. whenever any payment is to be made by
6091.50.2831.27:2
the Lessee under this Section 13(b) and it shall be necessary, in calculating the After-Tax-Basis amount of such payment, to compute the amount of any liability for federal, state or local tax imposed on or measured by the net income of any Indemnitee, such computation shall be based on the assumption that such taxes shall be payable at the highest marginal statutory rate in effect for the relevant period.
(7) Definition of Indemnitee. For purposes of this Section 13(b), the term Indemnitee shall mean and include the successors and assigns of each respective Indemnitee, and for purposes of federal income taxes, the affiliated group of corporations and each member thereof (within the meaning of Section 1504 of the Code) of which such Indemnitee is a member, if such group shall file a consolidated united States federal income tax return, and, for purposes of income or franchise taxes imposed by a particular state or local taxing jurisdiction, shall mean and include any consolidated or combined group of which such Indemnitee is or shall be a member that is treated as such by such state or local taxing jurisdiction.
(C) Supporting Material. Upon receipt of any payment provided for by this Section 13, the Indemnitee receiving the same shall provide to the Lessee such supporting material (other than tax returns) as the Lessee shall reasonably request. The Lessee shall reimburse to any Indemnitee, on an After-Tax-Basis, any expenses incurred in providing requested supporting material to the Lessee.
(d) Coordination with Tax Indemnification Agreement. Any amounts that the Lessee is liable to pay pursuant to this Section 13(b) shall be payable by the Lessee hereunder even if such Taxes are not the liability of the Lessee pursuant to the Tax Indemnification Agreement.

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

(c) Each Holder of a Note further agrees by its acceptance
thereof that the Owner Trustee shall have the right, pursuant to Section 16 of
the Facility Lease, to terminate the Facility Lease and, in connection
therewith, to arrange for the substitution of another Person as lessee under a
new lease substantially similar to the Facility Lease (hereinafter the
Substituted Lessee) and, subject to: (i) any Indenture Event of Default under
paragraphs (d) and (e) of Section 6.2 having been cured by the Owner Trustee,
(ii) the Substituted Lessee's assuming all of the obligations of the Lessee
under the Facility Lease and (iii) the Substituted Lessee's having an assigned
credit rating by Standard & Poor's Corporation and Moody's Investors Service,

such Substituted Lessee, by any other nationally recognized rating organization
in the United States of America) with respect to at least one series of its debt
obligations or preferred stock equal to or better than the ratings assigned,
immediately prior to such substitution, by such organizations to comparable
securities of the Lessee immediately prior to such substitution but in no event
less than "investment grade", then the Facility Lease between the Owner Trustee
and such Substituted Lessee shall, for all purposes of this Indenture, be deemed
to be the Facility Lease subject to the lien of this Indenture.

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,
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
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.
7.5 The transfer, sale and delivery of Effluent by the City to the Participants in amounts equal to the Unit 1 Water Requirements, Unit 2 Water Requirements, Unit 3. 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.

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.
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.
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.
