PNM Resources, Inc., a New Mexico corporation, (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) hereby establishes the &#8220;PNM Resources, Inc. 2014 Performance Equity Plan&#8221; (the &#8220;Plan&#8221;).  The Plan will supersede and replace the PNM Resources, Inc. Second Amended and Restated Omnibus Performance Equity Plan, which was most recently amended and restated effective May&#160;19, 2009 and was subsequently amended on three (3) occasions (the &#8220;2009 Plan&#8221;) and all other Prior Plans.  The 2009 Plan and all other Prior Plans shall remain in effect until all awards granted under such plans have been exercised, forfeited or cancelled or have otherwise expired or terminated.  No awards will be made pursuant to the 2009 Plan or any other Prior Plan on or after the Effective Date.  </font></div><div style="line-height:115%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">1.2&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Purpose</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.  The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Company by encouraging and providing for the acquisition of an equity interest in the Company by Employees and Nonemployee Directors, by providing additional incentives and motivation toward superior performance of the Company and by enabling the Company to attract and retain the services of Employees and Nonemployee Directors upon whose judgment, interest, and special effort the successful conduct of its operations is largely dependent.  To further these objectives, the Plan provides for the grant of Options, Restricted Stock Rights, Restricted Stock, Stock Grants, Stock Units, Performance Shares, Performance Units, Performance Cash and Stock Appreciation Rights.  The Plan also permits the Committee, subject to the Committee Charter, to grant Awards that are intended to qualify for the &#8220;performance-based compensation&#8221; exception to the limitations on the deduction of compensation imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code.  At the same time, the Plan permits the Committee, in the exercise of its discretion and subject to the Committee Charter, to make Awards that do not qualify for the &#8220;performance-based compensation&#8221; exception.</font></div><div style="line-height:115%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">1.3&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Effective Date</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.

The Plan shall remain in effect, subject to the Board&#8217;s right to amend or terminate the Plan pursuant to Section 15, until all Awards issued under the Plan expire, terminate, are exercised, or are paid in full in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and any Award Document.  However, in no event may an Award be granted after the tenth (10</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><sup style="vertical-align:top;line-height:120%;font-size:8pt">th</sup></font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">) anniversary of the Effective Date.

The purpose of this Section 10 is to enable the Committee to qualify some or all of the Awards granted to Covered Employees pursuant to Sections 6 and 7 as &#8220;performance-based compensation&#8221; pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code. If the Committee decides that a particular Award to a Covered Employee should qualify as &#8220;performance-based compensation,&#8221; the Committee will provide in the Award Document or otherwise that the Award is intended to be a Performance-Based Award.

Such transaction shall be considered to be a Change in Control for all other purposes of such an Award, however, unless prohibited by regulations issued pursuant to Section&#160;409A.  For example, such transaction will result in the lapse of any time based or other restrictions on a Restricted Stock Right Award.  If due to the above provisions the payment of an Award may not be accelerated, the Board, prior to the Change in Control, shall take such action as it in good faith determines to be necessary to assure that there will be no material impairment to either the value of the Award to the Participant or the Participant&#8217;s opportunity for future appreciation in respect of such Award.</font></div><div style="line-height:115%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">11.6&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Discretion of Committee</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.
