Exhibit 10.7

FIRST AMENDMENT
TO THE
PNM RESOURCES, INC.
EXECUTIVE SPENDING ACCOUNT PLAN
Effective as of January 1, 1980, Public Service Company of New Mexico (“PNM”) adopted the Amended and Restated Medical Reimbursement Plan of Public Service Company of New Mexico (the “MERP”). Sponsorship of the MERP was subsequently transferred from PNM to PNM Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) on November 30, 2002. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company established the Executive Spending Account (the “ESA”). Effective December 1, 2002, the Company merged the MERP with and into the ESA and named the combined program the “PNM Resources, Inc. Executive Spending Account Plan” (the “Plan”). The Plan has been amended and restated on a number of occasions, with the most recent restatement being effective as of January 1, 2011. By this instrument, the Company now desires to amend the Plan as set forth below.
1.This First Amendment shall be effective as of January 1, 2011.
