Exhibit 10.6

THIRD AMENDMENT

TO THE

PNM RESOURCES, INC.

NON-UNION SEVERANCE PAY PLAN

Effective January 1, 2002, Public Service Company of New Mexico ("PNM") adopted

the Public Service Company of New Mexico Benefits My Way Plan (the "BMW Plan").

Effective November 27, 2002, sponsorship of the BMW Plan was transferred from PNM to PNM

Resources, Inc. (the "Company") and the BMW Plan was renamed the "PNM Resources, Inc.

Benefits My Way Plan." The BMW Plan consisted of a number of component programs

including Program 12, Non-Union Severance Pay Program (the "Non-Union Severance

Program"). Effective as of January 1, 2004, the Company amended and restated the BMW Plan

to divide it into a number of separate plans that replaced several of the component programs in

effect on December 31, 2003. As part of the amendment and restatement, the PNM Resources,

Inc. Non-Union Severance Pay Plan (the "Plan") was created as a successor plan to the Non-

Union Severance Program, effective as of January 1, 2004. The Plan was most recently amended

and restated effective August 1, 2007. By this instrument, the Company now desires to amend

the Plan as set forth below.


1.	Except as otherwise provided, this Third Amendment shall be effective as of

January 3, 2015.


2.	Section 2.1(o) (Definitions "Management Group") is hereby amended and

restated to read as follows:

(o) "Management Group" means any Participant who

is in salary grade G04 through G01 at the time of Impaction.


3.	This Third Amendment amends only the provisions of the Plan as noted above,

and those provisions not expressly amended shall be considered in full force and effect.

Exhibit 10.6

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Third Amendment shall supersede the provisions of the Plan

to the extent those provisions are inconsistent with the provisions and intent of this Third

Amendment.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Third Amendment to be

executed as of this 11th day of November, 2015.
