    EMPLOYMENT
      SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE

    

    This
      Employment Separation Agreement and Release ("Agreement") is a contract entered
      into between EI Paso Electric Company, a Texas corporation (the "Company"),
      and
      Gary R. Hedrick ("Officer"), and is effective as of May 18, 2007 (the
“Effective Date”) unless revoked by Officer within seven (7) days following its
      execution by Officer.

    

    WHEREAS,
      Officer has been a valued employee of the Company for nearly 30 years,
      including its President and Chief Executive Officer for the last six and
      one-half years, and continues to be recognized as a leading figure in the
      communities served by the Company; and

    

    WHEREAS,
      the Company and Officer have reached an accord regarding the financial and
      other
      aspects of Officer’s separation from employment; and

    

    WHEREAS,
      the Company and Officer desire to enter into this Agreement.

    

    NOW,
      THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, and the mutual promises
      and agreements hereinafter set forth, the Company and Officer agree as
      follows:

    

    1. Separation.
      Officer
      agrees that his employment as President and Chief Executive Officer of the
      Company and, except as set forth in the next sentence, all other positions
      which
      Officer holds with the Company, its subsidiaries, and affiliates, ceased at
      5:00 p.m. on the Effective Date. Officer will continue to serve on the
      Board of Directors but will resign from the Executive Committee, effective
      immediately. Except as provided in this Agreement, Officer agrees not to seek
      reemployment with the Company, its subsidiaries, and affiliates, and no payments
      made to Officer under the terms of this Agreement shall be construed as a
      continuation of Officer's employment with the Company. This provision does
      not
      prohibit Officer from working for the Company at the Company’s
      request.

    

    2. Payments
      to Officer; Consulting Obligation.
      The
      Company agrees to make a one-time settlement payment of $1,791,224 as soon
      as
      practicable following the Effective Date and, in addition, will pay a severance
      to Officer as follows: (a) one payment of $11,739.13 on May 31, 2007;
      (b) seven payments of $30,000 on the last business day of each month from
      June through December 2007; and (c) twenty-two payments of $20,852 on the
      last business day of each month from January 2008 through October 2009 (in
      each
      case, less deductions for applicable federal, state, and local taxes, all and
      in
      each instance in accordance with the payment practices of the Company);
      provided, however, that as conditions precedent to any entitlement to any
      payment under this Section 2, Officer must (i) execute and deliver
      this Agreement to the Company, (ii) not revoke or otherwise withdraw his
      acceptance of this Agreement for a period of seven (7) days following such
      delivery of this Agreement, and (iii) not be in breach or default of any
      provision of this Agreement; and provided further, payments otherwise due under
      this

    Section 2
      or Section 3(b)(ii) within the six-month period following the Effective
      Date shall be paid in a lump sum cash payment within five (5) business days
      following the six-month anniversary of the Effective Date. As additional
      consideration for such payments, through October 31, 2009, Officer agrees
      to be available at reasonable times (following adequate notice) as required
      to
      provide consulting services, including regulatory advice or meetings with
      regulators, testimony and/or service on civic and charitable boards, upon the
      Company's request, with respect to matters within the scope of Officer's duties
      and responsibilities during employment. Officer agrees that the payments
      pursuant to this Section 2 are in lieu of fees payable to him for service
      on the Board, and he waives all Director fees (including any grants of options
      or restricted shares) otherwise payable through the term of this
      Agreement.

    

    3. Other
      Benefits.

    

    (a) Officer
      is
      a participant in the Company’s Retirement Income Plan for Employees (“RIP”) and

      rights (as such exist immediately prior to 5:00 p.m. on the Effective Date)
      under the RIP and EBP.

    

    (b) (i) The
      Company shall pay Officer on the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as

      Act of 1996 ("COBRA"), and Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code (the
“Code”) through October 31, 2009 (or, if Officer is no longer eligible for
      COBRA prior to such date other than because he becomes eligible under another
      employer’s health plan, Company will pay an amount equal to the premiums paid
      under COBRA through such date), and thereafter as permitted by applicable law
      and regulations, pursuant to the terms provided other retirees of the Company,
      at his own expense.

    

    (iii) Officer
      is
      also entitled to all amounts, if any, accrued by and vested in Officer as of

    (iv) Company
      agrees to make available to Officer at no cost through November 30, 2007 an
      office (at a location in El Paso acceptable to the Company) with secretarial
      assistance and telecommunications services.

    

    (v) Except
      as
      otherwise provided in this Agreement, Officer's participation in any and all
      other benefit and compensation plans and arrangements of the Company (including,
      without limitation, accident and disability insurance programs and life

    insurance)
      are deemed by both parties to have ceased on the Effective Date, other than
      such
      plans, if any, afforded to all other retirees of the Company.

    

    4. Releases.

    

    (a) Officer
      agrees to and does fully and completely release, discharge and waive any and
      all
      claims, complaints, causes of action, demands of whatever kind or nature which
      Officer has or may have against the Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates,
      predecessors, and successors and all of their respective directors, officers,
      and employees by reason of any event, matter, cause, or thing that has occurred
      prior to the date of execution of this Agreement (hereinafter "Officer Claims").
      Officer agrees that this Agreement specifically covers, but is not limited
      to,
      any and all Officer Claims which Officer has or may have against the Company
      relating in any way to compensation, or to any other terms, conditions, or
      circumstances of Officer's employment with the Company, and to the cessation
      of
      such employment, based on statutory or common law claims for employment
      discrimination, including claims under Title VII, the Age Discrimination in
      Employment Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, and any and all discrimination
      or retaliation claims under state or federal law, wrongful discharge, breach
      of
      contract, defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, breach
      of
      fiduciary duty, or any other theory whether legal or equitable; provided,
      however, that this release shall not affect Officer's rights under or with
      respect to any retirement plan which is subject to ERISA and is qualified under
      Section 401(a) of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Officer does not
      waive any right he may have to enforce this Agreement.

    

    (b) The
      Company agrees to release Officer from any and all claims, causes of action,
      or
      liabilities of the Company against Officer arising under and relating to
      Officer's acts or omissions occurring on or before the Effective Date in the
      course, scope and duties of Officer's employment with the Company; provided
      however, this release shall not apply to any claim, cause of action, or
      liability arising from any breach of fiduciary duty, gross negligence, willful
      misconduct or intentional tort by Officer or any act or omission which
      improperly benefited Officer personally. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
      Company does not waive any right it may have to enforce this Agreement, and
      Officer does not waive any right he may have to indemnification by the Company
      as provided under the Company’s Bylaws or applicable law.

    

    (c) This
      Agreement constitutes a general release and is not an admission of liability
      by
      either party. The Company and any other persons released have denied liability,
      and the Company has agreed to pay the consideration set forth herein merely
      to
      avoid disputes or litigation and in an effort to ease the economic impact of
      Officer's separation from employment. To the extent any claims against the
      Company have not been released by this Agreement, Officer assigns those claims
      to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Officer does not waive any right
      he may have to enforce this Agreement.

      except as required by law or legal process. This provision shall not prevent
      Officer from disclosing such information to Officer's immediate family or to

    (b) Officer

    (iii) induce

              provided

    (e) Officer
      specifically acknowledges and agrees that if he fails to comply with any of
      the
      covenants contained in this Section 5, (i) he shall forfeit any

      (ii) he shall repay to the Company any amounts previously paid under
      Section 2 and 3 of this Agreement.

    

    6. Taxes.
      Officer

      or
      local income tax liability that may be assessed against Officer as a result
      of
      any payments tendered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or as a result
      of the exercise of Officer’s vested stock options or the termination of
      restrictions on the sale or transfer of any restricted shares. Officer
      acknowledges the Company has provided no legal or other advice to him concerning
      the tax consequences, if any, of the payments made under this
      Agreement.

    

    7. Proprietary
      Information.
      Officer
      acknowledges that the Company's and its affiliates' trade secrets, information
      concerning legislation, regulation, tax, litigation, labor, securities,
      customers, employees, facilities, products and their development, technical
      information, marketing, investment, and sales activities and procedures,
      promotion and pricing techniques, credit and financial data, and other
      information concerning the Company or its affiliates and any information of
      third parties made available to the Company, its subsidiaries, or affiliates
      (the "Proprietary Information") are valuable, special, and unique assets of
      the
      Company and its affiliates, access to and knowledge of which have been gained
      by
      virtue of Officer's position and involvement with the Company and its
      affiliates. Officer agrees that all Proprietary Information obtained by Officer
      as a result of any such position or involvement shall be considered
      confidential. In recognition of such fact, Officer agrees that Officer will
      not
      disclose any such Proprietary Information to any person or other entity for
      any
      reason or purpose whatsoever, and that Officer will not make use of any
      Proprietary Information for his own purposes or for the benefit of any person
      or
      other entity.

    

    8. Remedies.
      Officer
      agrees that, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity that Company
      may have upon a material breach of this Agreement, Officer shall refund the
      amount of all payments received from Company under Section 2 and shall
      forfeit his right to receive any future payments under Section 2. In
      addition, Officer acknowledges and agrees that the Company's remedies at law
      for
      a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Section 7(b)
      would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, Officer agrees that,
      in
      the event of a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at
      law,
      the Company, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain equitable
      relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order,
      temporary or permanent injunction and any other equitable remedy which may
      then
      be available.

    9. Entire
      Agreement, Amendment.
      This
      Agreement shall supercede any and all existing agreements between Officer and
      the Company or any of its affiliates relating to the terms of Officer's
      employment, and contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect
      to
      the termination of Officer's employment. It may not be altered, modified, or
      amended except by a written agreement signed by both parties
      hereto.

    

    10. No
      Waiver.
      The
      failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement
      on any occasion shall not be considered a waiver of such party's rights or
      deprive such party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence
      to
      that term or any other term of this Agreement

    

    11. Severability.
      In the
      event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be or
      become invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality
      or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be
      affected thereby.

    

    12. Benefits
      of Agreement.

Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Obligations, and the commitment fees and letter of credit fees
payable under Section 2.12 hereof, (i) until the first Pricing Date,
the rates per annum shown opposite Level II below, and (ii)
thereafter from one Pricing Date to the next Pricing Date the

For purposes hereof, the term “Pricing Date” means, for any
fiscal quarter of the Borrower ending on or after September 30,
2006, the date on which the Administrative Agent is in receipt of
the Borrower’s most recent financial statements (and, in the case of
the year-end financial statements, audit report) for the fiscal
quarter then ended, pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof. The Applicable
Margin shall be established based on the Leverage Ratio for the most
recently completed fiscal quarter and the Applicable Margin
established on a Pricing Date shall remain in effect until the next
Pricing Date. If the Borrower has not delivered its financial
statements by the date such financial statements (and, in the case
of the year-end financial statements, audit report) are required to
be delivered under Section 6.1 hereof, until such financial
statements and audit report are delivered, the Applicable Margin
shall be the highest Applicable Margin (i.e., the Leverage Ratio
shall be deemed to be greater than 3.5 to 1.0). If the Borrower
subsequently delivers such financial statements before the next
Pricing Date, the Applicable Margin established by such late
delivered financial statements shall take effect from the date of
delivery until the next Pricing Date. In all other circumstances,
the Applicable Margin established by such financial statements shall
be in effect from the Pricing Date that occurs immediately after the
end of the fiscal quarter covered by such financial statements until

- 2-

 

the next Pricing Date. Each determination of the Applicable Margin
made by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the foregoing
shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders
absent manifest error.

     Section 1.2. Section 6.15 of the Credit Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to
read as follows:

Section 6.15. Dividends and Certain Other Restricted Payments. The
Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any Subsidiary to, (a) make
any distributions in respect of any class or series of equity
interests, (b) directly or indirectly purchase, redeem, or otherwise
acquire or retire any of its equity interests or any options, or
similar instruments to acquire the same or (c) directly or
indirectly pay any Management Fees; provided, however, that the
foregoing shall not operate to prevent (i) the making of
distributions by any Wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Borrower to its
parent company, (ii) the making of distributions by Borrower in
order to permit the holders of its equity interests to pay any taxes
which are due any payable by such holders and attributable to
Borrower and its Subsidiaries, (iii) the payment of fees by the
Borrower to MAPCO pursuant to that MAPCO Services Agreement, (iv)
the payment of fees by the Borrower to Refining pursuant to the
Refining Operating Agreement; provided that, the Borrower shall not
amend or otherwise modify either of the MAPCO Services Agreement or
Refining Operating Agreement to increase the amount of fees payable
thereunder or accelerate any payment of fees payable thereunder, (v)
payments of amounts referred to in clause (y) of Section 5.21, (vi)
the making of a distribution by Borrower to Holdings of the
$3,500,000 escrow deposit plus accrued interest thereon deposited
pursuant to the Escrow Agreement dated June 21, 2006 among the Pride
Entities, Holdings and Amegy Bank National Association, as escrow
agent, and entered into in connection with the Pride Purchase or
(vii) the making of an additional distribution by the Borrower to
Holdings on or before March 31, 2007, in an amount not to exceed
$15,000,000.

     Section 1.3. Section 6.19(c) of the Credit Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety
to read as follows:

(c) Net Worth. The Borrower shall at all times maintain Net Worth
of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries determined on a consolidated
basis in an amount not less than (i) 85% of the Initial Net Worth
plus (ii) 75% of the sum of (A) Net Income for each fiscal quarter
of the Borrower ending on or after the Closing Date

- 3-

 

(i.e., commencing with the fiscal quarter beginning on or about
September 30, 2006), for which such Net Income is a positive amount
(i.e., there shall be no reduction to the minimum amount of Net
Worth required to be maintained hereunder for any fiscal quarter in
which Net Income is less than zero) plus (B) equity contributions
made by Holdings and its Affiliates to the Borrower after the
Closing Date minus (iii) the amount of any distribution made by the
Borrower to Holdings that is permitted by subsection (vii) of
Section 6.15 hereof.

Section 2. Conditions Precedent.

     The effectiveness of this Amendment is subject to the satisfaction of all of the following
conditions precedent (provided that, upon such effectiveness, the amendment to the definition of
Applicable Margin shall be deemed effective as of October 31, 2006):

remedies of the Lenders under the Collateral Documents, obligations of the Borrower thereunder, and

indebtedness that would be secured thereby prior to giving effect to this Amendment.
