Section 12.4.    Bonds Held by Company, Etc    .  Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement, any other Financing Agreement, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein or in any other Financing Agreement to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds then outstanding, Bonds directly or indirectly owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.
		
	SECTION 13.

The Company agrees and stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or  not  the  original  is  in  existence  and  whether  or  not  such  reproduction  was made by such Purchaser in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence.  This Section 13 shall not prohibit 


‐17‐


Texas-New Mexico Power Company        Bond Purchase Agreement



the Company or any other holder of Bonds from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.
		
	SECTION 14.
	CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.


For the purposes of this Section 14, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser, as being confidential information of the Company or such Subsidiary, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser, any Person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, or any Person from whom such disclosure would, to the knowledge of such Purchaser, violate a duty of confidentiality to the Company or any Subsidiary, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by the Company, any Subsidiary or any Person from whom such disclosure would, to the knowledge of such Purchaser, violate a duty of confidentiality to the Company or any Subsidiary or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser that are otherwise publicly available.  Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, trustees and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Bonds); (ii) its auditors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 14; (iii) any other holder of any Bond; (iv) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Bond or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 14); (v) any Person from which it offers to purchase any Security of the Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 14); (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser; (vii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio; or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser; (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process; (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party; or (z) if an Event of Default or Bond Repurchase Event has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine, such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Bonds, this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Purchaser or Holder is compelled to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to clause (viii)(w) (except where disclosure of the purchase of the Bonds is to be made to any supervisory or regulatory body during the normal course of its exercise of its regulatory or supervisory function over such Purchaser and consistent with such Purchaser’s usual practice), (viii)(x) or (viii)(y) of 


‐18‐


Texas-New Mexico Power Company        Bond Purchase Agreement



the preceding sentence, such Purchaser or Holder shall, so long as no Default, Event of Default or Bond Repurchase Event has occurred and is continuing, use its reasonable best efforts to give the Company prompt notice of such pending disclosure and, to the extent practicable, the opportunity to seek a protective order or to pursue such further legal action as may be necessary to preserve the privileged nature and confidentiality of the Confidential Information, provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall require any holder of Bonds to take any action that would cause it to be in violation of any law, rule, regulation, court or regulatory authority order, subpoena or other legal process.  Each holder of a Bond, by its acceptance of a Bond, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to, the benefits of this Section 14 as though it were a party to this Agreement.  On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Bond of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Company embodying this Section 14.
In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser or holder of a Bond is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Section 14, this Section 14 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and the Company, this Section 14 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.
The obligations under this Section 14 will survive the payment or transfer of any Bond, the enforcement, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, any other Financing Agreement, and the termination of this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement.
		
	SECTION 15.
	SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER.


Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates or another Purchaser or any one of such other Purchaser’s Affiliates (a “Substitute Purchaser”) as the purchaser of the Bonds that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Substitute Purchaser, shall contain such Substitute Purchaser’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Substitute Purchaser of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6.  Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 15), shall be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser in lieu of such original Purchaser.  In the event that such Substitute Purchaser is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Bonds then held by such Substitute Purchaser, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 15), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Bonds under this Agreement.

Section 16.2.    Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 16.3.    Construction, Etc.  Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant.  Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.
Section 16.4.    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice‐of‐law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.
Section 16.6.    Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.  (a) The Company irrevocably submits to the non‐exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, in the City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Bonds.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
(b)    The Company consents to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of Bonds in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 16.6(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to it at its address specified in Section 16.7 or at such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section.  The Company agrees  that  such  service  upon  receipt  (i)  shall be deemed in every respect effective service of

Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.
(c)    Nothing in this Section 16.6 shall affect the right of any holder of a Bond to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Bonds may have to bring proceedings against the Company in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.
(d)    THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE BONDS OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH.
Section 16.7.    Notices.  All notices and communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and sent (a) by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested (postage prepaid) or (b) by a recognized overnight delivery service (with charges prepaid).  Any such notice must be sent:
(i)    if to any Purchaser or its nominee, to such Purchaser or nominee at the address specified for such communications in Schedule B, or at such other address as such Purchaser or nominee shall have specified to the Company in writing,
(ii)    if to any other holder of any Bond, to such holder at such address as such other holder shall have specified to the Company in writing, or
(iii)    if to the Company, to the Company at 414 Silver Ave. SW, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87102-3289, to the attention of Treasurer, or at such other address as the Company shall have specified to the holder of each Bond in writing.

If the Holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the principal amount of the 2019 Bonds [of the applicable series] then outstanding accept such offer, the Company shall promptly notify the remaining Holders of such series of 2019 Bonds of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by Holders of such series of 2019 Bonds of such offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give each such remaining Holder at least five (5) Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer.  The Company will promptly cancel all 2019 Bonds acquired by it or any Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of 2019 Bonds pursuant to this [Tenth]/[Eleventh] Supplemental Indenture and no 2019 Bonds may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such 2019 Bonds.  [Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.04, if and so long as any Event of Default or Bond Repurchase Event shall have occurred and be continuing, any partial prepayment of the 2019 Bonds by series shall be allocated among all of the 2019 Bonds of all series of 2019 Bonds at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof.]
Section 2.05    Make‐Whole Amount.
“Make‐Whole Amount” means, with respect to any 2019 Bond, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such 2019 Bond over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make‐Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero; provided further that the Make-Whole Amount shall equal zero with respect to the relevant series of 2019 Bonds if such prepayment occurs  [(i) on or after the date which is sixty (60) days prior to the Maturity Date of the 2019B Bonds or (ii) on or after the date which is ninety (90) days prior to the applicable Maturity Dates of the 2019C Bonds or the 2019D Bonds, as the case may be]/ [on or after the date which is thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date of the 2019A Bonds].  For the purposes of determining the Make‐Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:
“Called Principal” means, with respect to any 2019 Bond, the principal of such 2019 Bond that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 2.07 or is declared to be due and payable pursuant to Section 10.02 of the Original Indenture.
“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any 2019 Bond, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the 2019 Bonds is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.


13







“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any 2019 Bond, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by the yield(s) reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on‐the‐run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date.  If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between the yields Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on‐the‐run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life.  The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the 2019 Bond.  
If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any 2019 Bond, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date.  If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life.  The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable 2019 Bond.
“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360‐day year composed of twelve 30‐day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any 2019 Bond, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the 2019 Bonds, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 2.07 or is declared to be due and payable pursuant to Section 10.02 of the Original Indenture.


14







“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any 2019 Bond, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 2.07 or is declared to be due and payable pursuant to Section 10.02 of the Original Indenture.
Section 2.06    Change in Control. 
(a)    Notice of Change in Control.  The Company will, within thirty (30) Business Days after the occurrence of any Change in Control, give written notice (the “Change in Control Notice”) of such Change in Control to each Holder of 2019 Bonds, with a copy to the Trustee.  Such Change in Control Notice shall contain and constitute an offer to prepay the 2019 Bonds as described in Section 2.06(b) hereof and shall be accompanied by the certificate described in Section 2.06(e).  
(b)    Offer to Prepay Bonds.  The offer to prepay 2019 Bonds contemplated by Section  2.06(a) shall be an offer to prepay, in accordance with and subject to this Section  2.06, all, but not less than all, the 2019 Bonds held by each Holder (in this case only, “Holder” in respect of any 2019 Bond registered in the name of a nominee for a disclosed beneficial owner shall mean such beneficial owner) on a date (which shall be a Business Day) specified in such Change in Control Notice (the “Proposed Prepayment Date”).  Such date shall be not fewer than thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days after the date of delivery of the Change in Control Notice.
(c)    Acceptance; Rejection.  Any Holder of 2019 Bonds may accept or reject the offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 2.06 by causing a notice of such acceptance or rejection to be delivered to the Company not fewer than then ten (10) days prior to the Proposed Prepayment Date.  A failure by a Holder of 2019 Bonds to respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of such offer by such Holder.
(d)    Prepayment.  Prepayment of the 2019 Bonds to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be at one-hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of the 2019 Bonds together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon but without any Make-Whole Amount or other premium.  The prepayment shall be made on the Proposed Prepayment Date.
(e)    Company Certificate.  Each Change in Control Notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.06(a) shall be accompanied by a certificate, executed by a Senior Financial Officer and dated the date of delivery of the Change in Control Notice, stating:  (i) the Proposed Prepayment Date; (ii) that such offer is made pursuant to this Section  2.06; (iii) the principal amount of each 2019 Bond offered to be prepaid (which shall be one-hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding principal balance of each such 2019 Bond); (iv) the amount of accrued interest that would be due and payable on each 2019 Bond offered to be prepaid, accrued to the Proposed Prepayment Date; (v) that the conditions of this Section  2.06 required to be fulfilled prior to the giving of notice have been fulfilled; and (vi) in reasonable detail, a general description of the events that resulted in, and date of occurrence of, the Change in Control.
Section 2.07    Bond Repurchase Event.
On the Bond Repurchase Date, the Company shall repurchase (the “Bond Repurchase Requirement”) the [applicable series of] 2019 Bonds for a purchase price equal to the aggregate principal amount of [such series of]/[the] 2019 Bonds then Outstanding, all accrued and unpaid 


15







interest thereon, and the Make‐Whole Amount determined for the Bond Repurchase Date with respect to such principal amount (the “Bond Repurchase Amount”).  On the Bond Repurchase Date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee immediately available funds in an amount equal to the Bond Repurchase Amount and the Trustee shall pay such amount as soon as practicable after receipt thereof to the Holders of [such series of] 2019 Bonds.  Payment of a Bond Repurchase Amount shall be deemed to satisfy and discharge in full the principal of, and Make-Whole Amount, and accrued and unpaid interest on, [such series of][the] 2019 Bonds.
The Company’s obligation to satisfy a Bond Repurchase Requirement shall be mandatory upon the occurrence of a Bond Repurchase Event.

The First Mortgage Bonds may be issued in series, for various principal sums, may mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture. This Security is one of a series designated as “3.79% First Mortgage Bonds, due March 29, 2034, Series 2019B” of the Company, issued under and secured by the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto and described in an indenture supplemental thereto (herein called the “Tenth Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of March 29, 2019, executed by the Company to the Trustee.
