Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 15, 2005, PNM Resources, Inc. (“PNMR”) executed an amended and restated $600 million unsecured credit agreement, which has subsequently been amended (as amended, the “PNMR Credit Agreement”). Other parties to the PNMR Credit Agreement include the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent.

On May 15, 2008, Texas-New Mexico Power Company (“TNMP”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of PNMR, entered into a $200 million unsecured credit agreement, which has subsequently been amended (as amended, the “TNMP Revolving Credit Agreement”).  Other parties to the TNMP Revolving Credit Agreement include the lenders party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent.

On March 10, 2009, the TNMP Revolving Credit Agreement was amended in certain respects by an Amendment No. 2 (the “TNMP Amendment 2”), and on March 11, 2009, the PNMR Credit Agreement was amended in certain respects by a Third  Amendment (the “PNMR Amendment 3”), in each case, to accommodate certain proposed future financings by TNMP.  TNMP Amendment 2 also contains an agreement by TNMP to reduce the size of the TNMP Revolving Credit agreement from $200 million to $75 million upon the occurrence of certain future financings.  This description of PNMR Amendment 3 and TNMP Amendment 2 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the PNMR Amendment 3 and TNMP Amendment 2, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2, hereto, and are incorporated by reference herein.
