The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and the Holders and any Persons holding a beneficial interest in any Energy Transition Bond, by acquiring any Energy Transition Bond or interest therein, (a) express their intention that, solely for the purposes of U.S. federal taxes and, to the extent consistent with applicable state, local and other tax law, solely for the purposes of state, local and other taxes, the Energy Transition Bonds qualify under applicable tax law as indebtedness of the Member secured by the Collateral and (b) solely for the purposes of U.S. federal taxes and, to the extent consistent with applicable state, local and other tax law, solely for purposes of state, local and other taxes, so long as any of the Energy Transition Bonds are outstanding, agree to treat the Energy Transition Bonds as indebtedness of the Member secured by the Collateral unless otherwise required by appropriate taxing authorities.

 

Section 2.17.        State Pledge. Under the laws of the State of New Mexico in effect on the date hereof, pursuant to Section 19 of the Energy Transition Act, the State of New Mexico has pledged to and agreed with the Holders, any Assignees and any Financing Parties that the State of New Mexico shall not take or permit any action that impairs the value of the Property, except as allowed pursuant to Section 62-18-6 of the Energy Transition Act, or reduces, alters or impairs Charges that are imposed, collected and remitted for the benefit of the Holders, any Assignees and any Financing Parties, until the entire principal of, interest on and redemption premium on the Energy Transition Bonds, all Financing Costs and all amounts paid to an Assignee or Financing Party under an Ancillary Agreement are paid in full and performed in full.

 

21

 

 

The Issuer hereby acknowledges that the purchase of any Energy Transition Bond by a Holder or the purchase of any beneficial interest in an Energy Transition Bond by any Person and the Indenture Trustee’s obligations to perform hereunder are made in reliance on such agreement and pledge by the State of New Mexico.

 

Section 2.18.        Security Interests. The Issuer hereby makes the following representations and warranties. Other than the security interests granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture in the Series Supplement, the Issuer has not pledged, granted, sold, conveyed or otherwise assigned any interests or security interests in the Collateral and no security agreement, financing statement or equivalent security or Lien instrument listing the Issuer as debtor covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of record in any jurisdiction, except such as may have been filed, recorded or made by the Issuer in favor of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties in connection with this Indenture. This Indenture and the Series Supplement constitute a valid and continuing lien on, and first priority perfected security interest in, the Collateral in favor of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties, which lien and security interest is prior to all other Liens and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity and by an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. With respect to all Collateral, this Indenture, together with the Series Supplement, creates a valid and continuing first priority perfected security interest (as defined in the UCC) in such Collateral, which security interest is prior to all other Liens and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity and by an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The Issuer has good and marketable title to the Collateral free and clear of any Lien of any Person other than Permitted Liens. All of the Collateral constitutes Property or accounts, deposit accounts, investment property or general intangibles (as each such term is defined in the UCC), except that proceeds of the Collateral may also take the form of instruments. The Issuer has taken, or caused the Servicer to take, all action necessary to perfect the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Issuer has filed (or has caused the Servicer to file) all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing offices in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer has not authorized the filing of and is not aware, after due inquiry, of any financing statements against the Issuer that include a description of the Collateral other than those filed in favor of the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Issuer. The Collection Account (including all subaccounts thereof) constitutes a “securities account” and/or a “deposit account” within the meaning of the UCC. The Issuer has taken all steps necessary to cause the Securities Intermediary of each such securities account to identify in its records the Indenture Trustee as the Person having a security entitlement against the Securities Intermediary in such securities account, no Collection Account is in the name of any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, and the Issuer has not consented to the Securities Intermediary of the Collection Account to comply with entitlement orders of any Person other than the Indenture Trustee. All of the Collateral constituting investment property has been and will have been credited to the Collection Account or a subaccount thereof, and the Securities Intermediary for the Collection Account has agreed to treat all assets credited to the Collection Account (other than cash) as “financial assets” within the meaning of the UCC. Accordingly, the Indenture Trustee has a first priority perfected security interest in the Collection Account, all funds and financial assets on deposit therein, and all securities entitlements relating thereto. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.18 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Indenture and the issuance of any Energy Transition Bonds, shall be deemed re-made on each date on which any funds in the Collection Account are distributed to the Issuer as provided in Section 8.04 or otherwise released from the Lien of the Indenture and may not be waived by any party hereto except pursuant to a supplemental indenture executed in accordance with Article IX and as to which the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied.

(a)            hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Energy Transition Bonds in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;

 

(b)            give the Indenture Trustee, unless the Indenture Trustee is the Paying Agent, and the Rating Agencies written notice of any Default by the Issuer of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Energy Transition Bonds;

 

(c)            at any time during the continuance of any such Default, upon the written request of the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent;

(e)            comply with all requirements of the Code, the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and other tax laws with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Energy Transition Bonds of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith.

 

The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which the sums were held by such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheatment of funds, any money held by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Energy Transition Bond and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid to the Issuer upon receipt of an Issuer Request; and, subject to Section 10.14, the Holder of such Energy Transition Bond shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer), and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, at the request of the Issuer, shall, at the expense of the Issuer, cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee may also adopt and employ, at the written direction and expense of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including mailing notice of such repayment to Holders whose right to or interest in moneys due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Indenture Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such Holder).

 

Section 3.04.        Existence. The Issuer shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes, organized under the laws of any other State or of the United States of America, in which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the other Basic Documents, the Energy Transition Bonds, the Collateral and each other instrument or agreement referenced herein or therein.

 

Section 3.05.        Protection of Collateral. The Issuer shall from time to time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and all filings with the Commission, the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or the New Mexico Secured Transaction Registry pursuant to the Financing Order or to the Energy Transition Act and all financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and shall take such other action necessary or advisable, to:

Any such reports or information delivered to the Indenture Trustee for purposes of this Section 3.07(g) is for informational purposes only, and the Indenture Trustee’s receipt of such reports or information shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Indenture Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely on an Officer’s Certificate).

41

 

 

(f)            the commencement by the Issuer of a voluntary case under any applicable U.S. federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or the consent by the Issuer to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case or proceeding under any such law, or the consent by the Issuer to the appointment or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Issuer or for any substantial part of the Collateral, or the making by the Issuer of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the failure by the Issuer generally to pay its debts as such debts become due, or the taking of action by the Issuer in furtherance of any of the foregoing;

(h)            any other event designated as such in the Series Supplement.

 

The Issuer shall deliver to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee and to the Rating Agencies, within five days after a Responsible Officer of the Issuer has knowledge of the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of any event (i) that is an Event of Default under Section 5.01(a), Section 5.01(b), Section 5.01(f), Section 5.01(g) or Section 5.01(h) or (ii) that with the giving of notice, the lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default under Section 5.01(c), Section 5.01(d) or Section 5.01(e), including, in each case, the status of such Default or Event of Default and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

 

Section 5.02.        Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default under Section 5.01(g)) should occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the Indenture Trustee or the Holders representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Energy Transition Bonds may declare the Energy Transition Bonds to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration the unpaid principal amount of the Energy Transition Bonds, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable.

 

At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter in this Article V provided, the Holders representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Energy Transition Bonds, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

 

(a)            the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

 

(i)            all payments of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on all Energy Transition Bonds due and owing at such time as if such Event of Default had not occurred and was not continuing and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon the Energy Transition Bonds if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred; and

 

42

 

 

(ii)           all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel; provided, that, the Indenture Trustee shall not be obligated to pay or advance any sums hereunder from its own funds after an Event of Default; and

 

(b)            all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Energy Transition Bonds that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.12.

 

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto.

 

Section 5.03.        Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Indenture Trustee.

 

(a)            If an Event of Default under Section 5.01(a) or Section 5.01(b) has occurred and is continuing, subject to Section 10.16, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and, subject to the limitations on recourse set forth herein, may enforce the same against the Issuer or other obligor upon the Energy Transition Bonds and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor upon the Energy Transition Bonds wherever situated the moneys payable, or the Collateral and the proceeds thereof, the whole amount then due and payable on the Energy Transition Bonds for principal, premium, if any, and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the respective rate borne by the Energy Transition Bonds or the applicable Tranche and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel.

 

(b)            If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default under Section 5.01(g)) occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall, as more particularly provided in Section 5.04, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders, by such appropriate Proceedings as the Indenture Trustee, subject to Section 5.11, shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture and the Series Supplement or by law, including foreclosing or otherwise enforcing the Lien of the Collateral securing the Energy Transition Bonds or applying to a court of competent jurisdiction for sequestration of revenues arising with respect to the Property.

 

(c)            If an Event of Default under Section 5.01(e) or Section 5.01(f) has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Energy Transition Bonds shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.03, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in any Proceedings related to such Event of Default or otherwise:

 

43

 

 

(i)            to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Energy Transition Bonds and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Holders allowed in such Proceedings;

 

(ii)           unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy, a standby trustee or Person performing similar functions in any such Proceedings;

 

(iii)          to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Holders and of the Indenture Trustee on their behalf; and

 

(iv)          to file such proofs of claim and other papers and documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders allowed in any judicial proceeding relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property;

 

and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such Holders to make payments to the Indenture Trustee, and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Holders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith.

 

(d)            Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Energy Transition Bonds or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.

 

(e)            All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Energy Transition Bonds, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Energy Transition Bonds or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Energy Transition Bonds.

Section 5.04.        Remedies; Priorities.

 

(a)            If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default under Section 5.01(g)) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.05):

 

(i)            institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Energy Transition Bonds or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration of acceleration or otherwise, and, subject to the limitations on recovery set forth herein, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer or any other obligor moneys adjudged due, upon the Energy Transition Bonds;

 

(ii)           institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Collateral;

 

(iii)          exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC, the Energy Transition Act or any other applicable law and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Energy Transition Bonds;

 

(iv)          at the written direction of the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Energy Transition Bonds, either sell the Collateral or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law, or elect that the Issuer maintain possession of all or a portion of the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.05 and continue to apply the Energy Transition Charge Collection as if there had been no declaration of acceleration; and

 

(v)           exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Seller, the Administrator or the Servicer under or in connection with, and pursuant to the terms of, the Sale Agreement, the Administration Agreement or the Servicing Agreement;

 

provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate any portion of the Collateral following such an Event of Default, other than an Event of Default described in Section 5.01(a) or Section 5.01(b), unless (A) the Holders of 100 percent of the Outstanding Amount of the Energy Transition Bonds consent thereto, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Holders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon the Energy Transition Bonds for principal, premium, if any, and interest after taking into account payment of all amounts due prior thereto pursuant to the priorities set forth in Section 8.02(e) or (C) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Collateral will not continue to provide sufficient funds for all payments on the Energy Transition Bonds as they would have become due if the Energy Transition Bonds had not been declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the written consent of Holders of at least two-thirds of the Outstanding Amount of the Energy Transition Bonds. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clause (B) above and clause (C) above, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and conclusively rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Collateral for such purpose.

 

45

 

 

(b)            If an Event of Default under Section 5.01(g) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled and empowered, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to institute or participate in Proceedings necessary to compel performance of or to enforce the State Pledge and to collect any monetary damages incurred by the Holders or the Indenture Trustee as a result of any such Event of Default, and may prosecute any such Proceeding to final judgment or decree. Such remedy shall be the only remedy that the Indenture Trustee may exercise if the only Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing is an Event of Default under Section 5.01(g).

 

(c)            If the Indenture Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article V, it shall pay out such money in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 8.02(e).

 

Section 5.05.        Optional Preservation of the Collateral. If the Energy Transition Bonds have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.02 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to maintain possession of all or a portion of the Collateral. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Holders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Energy Transition Bonds, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Collateral. In determining whether to maintain possession of the Collateral or sell or liquidate the same, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and conclusively rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Collateral for such purpose.

 

Section 5.06.        Limitation of Suits. No Holder of any Energy Transition Bond shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, to avail itself of any remedies provided in the Energy Transition Act or to avail itself of the right to foreclose on the Collateral or otherwise enforce the Lien and the security interest on the Collateral with respect to this Indenture and the Series Supplement, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

 

(a)            such Holder previously has given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

 

(b)            the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Energy Transition Bonds have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;

 

46

 

 

(c)            such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request;

 

(d)            the Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such Proceedings; and

 

(e)            no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Energy Transition Bonds;

 

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.

 

In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders, each representing less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Energy Transition Bonds, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may file a petition with a court of competent jurisdiction to resolve such conflict or determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.

 

Section 5.07.        Unconditional Rights of Holders To Receive Principal, Premium, if any, and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any Energy Transition Bond shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, (a) to receive payment of (i) the interest, if any, on such Energy Transition Bond on the due dates thereof expressed in such Energy Transition Bond or in this Indenture or (ii) the unpaid principal, if any, of the Energy Transition Bonds on the Final Maturity Date or Tranche Maturity Date therefor and (b) to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

 

Section 5.08.        Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee or any Holder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

 

Section 5.09.        Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

 

47

 

 

Section 5.10.        Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

 

Section 5.11.        Control by Holders. The Holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Energy Transition Bonds (or, if less than all Tranches are affected, the affected Tranche or Tranches) shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Energy Transition Bonds of such Tranche or Tranches or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee with respect to such Tranche or Tranches; provided, that:

 

(a)            such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or the Series Supplement or any Basic Document and shall not involve the Indenture Trustee in any personal liability or expense, in each case, as determined by the Indenture Trustee in good faith;

 

(b)            subject to other conditions specified in Section 5.04, any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate any Collateral (other than an Event of Default described in Section 5.01(a) or Section 5.01(b)) shall be by the Holders representing 100 percent of the Outstanding Amount of the Energy Transition Bonds;

 

(c)            if the conditions set forth in Section 5.05 have been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.05, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by Holders representing less than 100 percent of the Outstanding Amount of the Energy Transition Bonds to sell or liquidate the Collateral shall be of no force and effect; and

 

(d)            the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction;

 

provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee’s duties shall be subject to Section 6.01, and the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability or might materially adversely affect the rights of any Holders not consenting to such action. Furthermore and without limiting the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take any action for which it reasonably believes that it will not be indemnified to its satisfaction against any cost, expense or liabilities.

 

Section 5.12.        Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Energy Transition Bonds as provided in Section 5.02, the Holders representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Energy Transition Bonds may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default (a) in payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Energy Transition Bonds or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Energy Transition Bond of all Tranches affected. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

 

48

 

 

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto

 

Section 5.13.        Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Energy Transition Bond by such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.13 shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10 percent of the Outstanding Amount of the Energy Transition Bonds or (c) any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of (i) interest on any Energy Transition Bond on or after the due dates expressed in such Energy Transition Bond and in this Indenture or (ii) the unpaid principal, if any, of any Energy Transition Bond on or after the Final Maturity Date or Tranche Maturity Date therefor.

 

Section 5.14.        Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon or plead or, in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

 

Section 5.15.        Action on Energy Transition Bonds. The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Energy Transition Bonds or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the Lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Collateral or any other assets of the Issuer.

(a)            If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

 

(b)            Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

 

(i)            the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee; and

 

(ii)           in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming on its face to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

 

(c)            The Indenture Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own bad faith, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

 

(i)            this Section 6.01(c) does not limit the effect of Section 6.01(b);

 

(ii)           the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by it unless it is proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

50

 

 

(g)            No provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayments of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

 

(h)            Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.01 and to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act.

 

(i)             In the event that U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association is also acting as Paying Agent or Energy Transition Bond Registrar hereunder, the rights, benefits, protections, immunities and indemnities of this Article VI shall also be afforded to U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association in its capacity as Paying Agent or Energy Transition Bond Registrar.

 

(j)             Except for the express duties of the Indenture Trustee set forth in the Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to administer, service or collect Property or to maintain, monitor or otherwise supervise the administration, servicing or collection of the Charges.

The Indenture Trustee shall apply all such money received by it as provided in this Indenture. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture, if any default occurs in the making of any payment or performance under any agreement or instrument that is part of the Collateral, the Indenture Trustee may take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, subject to Article VI, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate Proceedings. Any such action shall be without prejudice to any right to claim a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture and any right to proceed thereafter as provided in Article V.

 

Section 8.02.     Collection Account.

 

(a)            Prior to the Series Closing Date, the Issuer shall open or cause to be opened with the Securities Intermediary or at another Eligible Institution, one or more segregated trust accounts in the Indenture Trustee’s name for the deposit of Energy Transition Charge Collections for the Energy Transition Bonds and all other amounts received with respect to the Collateral servicing such Energy Transition Bonds (the “Collection Account” and collectively, the “Collection Accounts”). The Indenture Trustee shall hold the Collection Account for the benefit of the Secured Parties. There shall be established by the Indenture Trustee in respect of the Collection Account three subaccounts: a general subaccount (the “General Subaccount”); an excess funds subaccount (the “Excess Funds Subaccount”); and a capital subaccount (the “Capital Subaccount” and, together with the General Subaccount and the Excess Funds Subaccount, the “Subaccounts”). For administrative purposes, the Subaccounts may be established by the Securities Intermediary as separate accounts. Such separate accounts will be recognized individually as a Subaccount and collectively as the “Collection Account”. Prior to or concurrently with the issuance of the Energy Transition Bonds, the Member shall deposit into the Capital Subaccount an amount equal to the Required Capital Level. All amounts in the Collection Account not allocated to any other subaccount shall be allocated to the General Subaccount. Prior to the initial Payment Date, all amounts in the Collection Account (other than funds deposited into the Capital Subaccount up to the Required Capital Level) shall be allocated to the General Subaccount. All references to a Collection Account shall be deemed to include reference to all subaccounts contained therein. Withdrawals from and deposits to each of the foregoing subaccounts of a Collection Account shall be made as set forth in Section 8.02(d) and Section 8.02(e). The Collection Account shall at all times be maintained as an Eligible Account and will be under the sole dominion and exclusive control of the Indenture Trustee, through the Securities Intermediary, and only the Indenture Trustee shall have access to the applicable Collection Account for the purpose of making deposits in and withdrawals from the applicable Collection Account in accordance with this Indenture. Funds in a Collection Account shall not be commingled with any other moneys. All moneys deposited from time to time in the Collection Account, all deposits therein pursuant to this Indenture and all investments made in Eligible Investments as directed in writing by the Issuer with such moneys, including all income or other gain from such investments, shall be held by the Securities Intermediary in the Collection Account as part of the Series Collateral as herein provided. The Securities Intermediary shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any Eligible Investment prior to its stated maturity or its date of redemption or the failure of the Issuer or the Servicer to provide timely written investment direction.

 

64

 

 

(b)           The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms that (i) it will treat the Collection Account as a “securities account” as such term is defined in Section 8-501(a) of the UCC, (ii) it is a “securities intermediary” (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC) and is acting in such capacity with respect to such accounts, (iii) the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties is the sole “entitlement holder” (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC) with respect to such accounts and (iv) no other Person shall have the right to give “entitlement orders” (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(8)) with respect to such accounts. The Securities Intermediary hereby further agrees that each item of property (whether investment property, financial asset, security, instrument or cash) received by it will be credited to the Collection Account such property, other than cash, shall be treated by it as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC. The Indenture Trustee shall hold any Collateral consisting of money in the Collection Account, and it and U.S. Bank National Association hereby agrees to treat the Collection Account as a “deposit account” within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the State of New York shall be deemed to be the jurisdiction of the Securities Intermediary for purposes of Section 8-110 of the UCC and the “bank’s jurisdiction” of U.S. Bank National Association acting as the “bank” for purposes of Section 9-304(a) of the UCC, and the Collection Account (as well as the securities entitlements related thereto) shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York to the extent applicable.

 

(c)           The Indenture Trustee shall have sole dominion and exclusive control over all moneys in the applicable Collection Account through the Securities Intermediary and shall apply such amounts therein as provided in this Section 8.02.

 

(d)           Energy Transition Charge Collections shall be deposited in the applicable General Subaccount as provided in Section 6.11 of the Servicing Agreement. All deposits to and withdrawals from a Collection Account, all allocations to the subaccounts of a Collection Account and any amounts to be paid to the Servicer under Section 8.02(e) shall be made by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the written instructions provided by the Servicer in the Monthly Servicer’s Certificate or the Semi-Annual Servicer’s Certificate.

All payments to the Holders of the Energy Transition Bonds pursuant to Section 8.02(e)(v), Section 8.02(e)(vi) and Section 8.02(e)(vii) shall be made to such Holders pro rata based on the respective amounts of interest and/or principal owed, unless, in the case of Energy Transition Bonds comprised of two or more Tranches, the Series Supplement provides otherwise. Payments in respect of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on any Tranche of Energy Transition Bonds will be made on a pro rata basis among all the Holders of such Tranche.

(a)            So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or a portion of the funds in the Collection Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments and reinvested by the Indenture Trustee upon Issuer Order; provided, however, that such Eligible Investments shall not mature or be redeemed later than the Business Day prior to the next Payment Date or Special Payment Date for the related Tranche, if applicable, for the Energy Transition Bonds. All income or other gain from investments of moneys deposited in the Collection Account shall be deposited by the Indenture Trustee in such Collection Account, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to the Collection Account. The Issuer will not direct the Indenture Trustee to make any investment of any funds or to sell any investment held in any Collection Account unless the security interest Granted and perfected in such account will continue to be perfected in such investment or the proceeds of such sale, in either case without any further action by any Person, and, in connection with any direction to the Indenture Trustee to make any such investment or sale, if requested by the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel of external counsel of the Issuer (at the Issuer’s cost and expense) to such effect. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for the selection of Eligible Investments or for investment losses incurred thereon. The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any Eligible Investment prior to its stated maturity or its date of redemption or the failure of the Issuer or the Servicer to provide timely written investment direction. The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to invest or reinvest any amounts held hereunder in the absence of written investment direction pursuant to an Issuer Order.

 

(b)           Subject to Section 6.01(c), the Indenture Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in the Collection Account resulting from any loss on any Eligible Investment included therein except for losses attributable to the Indenture Trustee’s failure to make payments on such Eligible Investments issued by the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor and not as trustee, in accordance with their terms.

 

(c)            If (i) the Issuer shall have failed to give written investment directions for any funds on deposit in the Collection Account to the Indenture Trustee by 11:00 a.m. New York City time (or such other time as may be agreed by the Issuer and Indenture Trustee) on any Business Day or (ii) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Energy Transition Bonds but the Energy Transition Bonds shall not have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 5.02, then the Indenture Trustee shall, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds in such Collection Account in Eligible Investments specified in the most recent written investment directions delivered by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee; provided, that if the Issuer has never delivered written investment directions to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall not invest or reinvest such funds in any investments.

 

(d)           The parties hereto acknowledge that the Servicer may, pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, select Eligible Investments on behalf of the Issuer; provided, however, that any such investment direction on behalf of the Issuer must be given in writing to the Indenture Trustee.

 

(e)            Except as otherwise provided hereunder or agreed in writing among the parties hereto, the Issuer shall retain the authority to institute, participate and join in any plan of reorganization, readjustment, merger or consolidation with respect to the issuer of any Eligible Investments held hereunder, and, in general, to exercise each and every other power or right with respect to each such asset or investment as Persons generally have and enjoy with respect to their own assets and investment, including power to vote upon any Eligible Investments.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Servicer, may, at any time and from time to time without any notice to, or release or consent by, the Indenture Trustee, sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral previously written-off as a defaulted or uncollectible account in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement and the requirements of the proviso in the preceding sentence.

 

(b)           The Indenture Trustee may, and when required by the provisions of this Indenture shall, execute instruments to release property from the Lien of this Indenture, or convey the Indenture Trustee’s interest in the same, in a manner and under circumstances that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture.

(c)           The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Energy Transition Bonds Outstanding and all sums payable to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07 or otherwise have been paid, release any remaining portion of the Collateral that secured the Energy Transition Bonds from the Lien of this Indenture and release to the Issuer or any other Person entitled thereto any funds or investments then on deposit in or credited to the Collection Account.

 

Section 8.05.     Opinion of Counsel. The Indenture Trustee shall receive at least seven days’ notice when requested by the Issuer to take any action pursuant to Section 8.04, accompanied by copies of any instruments involved, and the Indenture Trustee shall also require, as a condition to such action, an Opinion of Counsel of external counsel of the Issuer, in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the steps required to complete the same, and concluding that all conditions precedent to the taking of such action have been complied with and such action will not materially and adversely impair the security for the Energy Transition Bonds or the rights of the Holders in contravention of the provisions of this Indenture and the Series Supplement; provided, however, that such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to express an opinion as to the fair value of the Collateral. Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely, without independent investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any certificate or other instrument delivered to the Indenture Trustee in connection with any such action.

 

69

 

 

Section 8.06.     Reports by Independent Registered Public Accountants. As of the date hereof, the Issuer shall appoint a firm of Independent registered public accountants of recognized national reputation for purposes of preparing and delivering the reports or certificates of such accountants required by this Indenture and the Series Supplement.

Upon any resignation by, or termination by the Issuer of, such firm, the Issuer shall provide written notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee and shall promptly appoint a successor thereto that shall also be a firm of Independent registered public accountants of recognized national reputation. If the Issuer shall fail to appoint a successor to a firm of Independent registered public accountants that has resigned or been terminated within 15 days after such resignation or termination, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of such failure in writing. If the Issuer shall not have appointed a successor within ten days thereafter, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor firm of Independent registered public accountants of recognized national reputation; provided, that the Indenture Trustee shall have no liability with respect to such appointment.

(f)            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10.01, the Indenture Trustee may (A) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of the Property and the other Collateral as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents and (B) make cash payments out of the Collection Account as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents.

 

Section 10.02.     Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

 

Any certificate or opinion of a Responsible Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his or her certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Issuer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Servicer or the Issuer stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer or the Issuer, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

 

Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s right to rely conclusively upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article VI.

 

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

Section 10.03.     Acts of Holders.

 

(a)           Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing, and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 10.03.

 

(b)           The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.

(d)           Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Energy Transition Bonds shall bind the Holder of every Energy Transition Bond issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Energy Transition Bond.

 

Section 10.04.     Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee, Issuer and Rating Agencies.

Each Person listed above may, by notice given in accordance herewith to the other Persons listed above, designate any further or different address to which subsequent notices, reports and other communications shall be sent

 

Section 10.05.     Notices to Holders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid, or otherwise delivered in accordance with DTC’s procedures, to each Holder affected by such event, at such Holder’s address as it appears on the Energy Transition Bond Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

 

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.

 

In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event of Holders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

 

Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder and shall not under any circumstance constitute a Default or Event of Default.

 

Section 10.06.     Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.

 

The provisions of Sections 310 through 317 of the Trust Indenture Act that impose duties on any Person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture, whether or not physically contained herein.

 

78

 

 

Section 10.07.     Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture and the Energy Transition Bonds by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors.

 

Section 10.08.     Severability. Any provision in this Indenture or in the Energy Transition Bonds that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision (if any) or the remaining provisions hereof (unless such construction shall be unreasonable), and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

Section 10.09.     Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Energy Transition Bonds, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, and the Holders, and any other party secured hereunder, and any other Person with an ownership interest in any part of the Collateral, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

 

Section 10.10.     Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Energy Transition Bonds or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.

 

Section 10.11.     GOVERNING LAW. This Indenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions (other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law and Sections 9-301 through 9-306 of the NY UCC), and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws; provided, that the creation, attachment and perfection of any Liens created hereunder in Property, and all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders with respect to the Property, shall be governed by the laws of the State of New Mexico.

 

Section 10.12.     Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. The Issuer and Indenture Trustee agree that this Indenture may be electronically signed, that any digital or electronic signatures (including pdf, facsimile or electronically imaged signatures provided by DocuSign or any other digital signature provider as specified in writing to the Indenture Trustee) appearing on this Indenture are the same as handwritten signatures for the purposes of validity, enforceability and admissibility, and that delivery of any such electronic signature to, or a signed copy of, this Indenture may be made by facsimile, email or other electronic transmission. The Issuer agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of digital signatures and electronic methods of submitting such signatures to the Indenture Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Indenture Trustee acting upon documents with unauthorized signatures and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

 

79

 

 

Section 10.13.     Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel at the Issuer’s cost and expense (which shall be external counsel of the Issuer) to the effect that such recording is necessary either for the protection of the Holders or any other Person secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.

 

Section 10.14.     No Recourse to Issuer. No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee on the Energy Transition Bonds or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (a) the Issuer, other than from the Collateral, (b) any owner of a membership interest in the Issuer (including Public Service Company of New Mexico) or (c) any shareholder, partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer or employee of the Indenture Trustee, the Managers or any owner of a membership interest in the Issuer (including Public Service Company of New Mexico) in its respective individual capacity, or of any successor or assign of any of them in their respective individual or corporate capacities, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed in writing. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any Series Supplement to the contrary, Holders shall look only to the Collateral with respect to any amounts due to the Holders hereunder and under the Energy Transition Bonds and, in the event such Collateral is insufficient to pay in full the amounts owed on the Energy Transition Bonds, shall have no recourse against the Issuer in respect of such insufficiency. Each Holder by accepting an Energy Transition Bond specifically confirms the nonrecourse nature of these obligations and waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Energy Transition Bonds.

 

Section 10.15.     Basic Documents. The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized to execute and deliver the Servicing Agreement and to execute and deliver any other Basic Document that it is requested to acknowledge. Upon receipt of an Issuer Request to execute an intercreditor agreement and receipt of an Officer’s Certificate confirming that such intercreditor agreement satisfies the requirements of Section 4.14 of the Sale Agreement (substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, with such changes as may be agreed among the parties thereto so long as such changes do not materially and adversely affect any Holder’s rights in and to any Collateral or otherwise under the Indenture), upon which the Trustee may rely conclusively with no duty of independent investigation or inquiry, the Trustee shall execute such intercreditor agreement. Any such intercreditor agreement shall be binding on the Holders, and the Holders shall be deemed to have consented to this Section 10.15.

 

Section 10.16.     No Petition. The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each Holder, by accepting an Energy Transition Bond (or interest therein) issued hereunder, hereby covenant and agree that they shall not, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the termination of this Indenture, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Issuer or any Manager to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Issuer under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuer or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the dissolution, winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Issuer. Nothing in this Section 10.16 shall preclude, or be deemed to estop, such Holder or the Indenture Trustee (a) from taking or omitting to take any action prior to such date in (i) any case or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by or on behalf of the Issuer under or pursuant to any such law or (ii) any involuntary case or proceeding pertaining to the Issuer that is filed or commenced by or on behalf of a Person other than such Holder and is not joined in by such Holder (or any Person to which such Holder shall have assigned, transferred or otherwise conveyed any part of the obligations of the Issuer hereunder) under or pursuant to any such law or (b) from commencing or prosecuting any legal action that is not an involuntary case or proceeding under or pursuant to any such law against the Issuer or any of its properties.

This Senior Secured Energy Transition Bond, Series A, Tranche { } is one of a duly authorized issue of Series A Senior Secured Energy Transition Bonds of the Issuer (herein called the “Series A Bonds”), which Series are issuable in one or more Tranches.

For purposes herein, “Series Supplement” means that certain Series Supplement dated as of {        , 2023} between the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee.

All Tranches of Series A Bonds are and will be equally and ratably secured by the Series Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

 

The principal of this Tranche { } Energy Transition Bond shall be payable on each Payment Date only to the extent that amounts in the Collection Account for the Series A Bonds are available therefor, and only until the outstanding principal balance thereof on the preceding Payment Date (after giving effect to all payments of principal, if any, made on the preceding Payment Date) has been reduced to the principal balance specified in the Expected Amortization Schedule that is attached to the Series Supplement as Schedule A, unless payable earlier because an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Indenture Trustee or the Holders representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Bonds of this Series have declared the Series A Bonds to be immediately due and payable in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Indenture (unless such declaration shall have been rescinded and annulled in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Indenture).

The entire unpaid principal amount of this Tranche { } Energy Transition Bond shall be due and payable on the Final Maturity Date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Bonds shall be due and payable, if not then previously paid, on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of the Bonds representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Bonds of this Series have declared the Energy Transition Bonds to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02 of the Indenture (unless such declaration shall have been rescinded and annulled in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Indenture). All principal payments on the Tranche { } Energy Transition Bonds shall be made pro rata to the Holders of the Tranche{ } Energy Transition Bonds entitled thereto based on the respective principal amounts of the Tranche { } Energy Transition Bonds held by them.

Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Energy Transition Bond Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Tranche { } Energy Transition Bond be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Tranche { } Energy Transition Bond (or any one or more Predecessor Energy Transition Bonds) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Tranche { } Energy Transition Bond and of any Energy Transition Bond issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon.

(c)            The Initial Bond Trustee, the Initial Bond Issuer, the Additional Bond Trustee and the Additional Bond Issuer waive any interest in deposits to the Deposit Accounts to the extent that they are properly allocable to Collections with respect to Receivables.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to Public Service Company of New Mexico, a New Mexico corporation (the “Company”), and PNM Energy Transition Bond Company I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Issuing Entity”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form SF-1 (Registration Statement Nos. 333-274433 and 333-274433-01) filed on September 8, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on October 13, 2023, and as amended by Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on October 30, 2023 (the “Registration Statement”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the issuance of $343,200,000 aggregate principal amount of Energy Transition Bonds, Series A (the “Bonds”) of the Issuing Entity offered in such manner as described in the prospectus, dated November 7, 2023 (the “Prospectus”), as filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) under the Securities Act. The Bonds are being issued under an Indenture dated as of November 15, 2023 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Issuing Entity, as issuing entity, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as securities intermediary (the “Securities Intermediary”), as supplemented by a Series Supplement dated November 15, 2023 (the “Series Supplement” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Intermediary, each of which has been filed with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

 

This opinion letter is being delivered in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

 

In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have examined and relied upon copies of the Registration Statement, and the exhibits filed therewith, and the Indenture.

Re:       PNM Energy Transition Bond Company I, LLC Energy Transition Bonds, Series A

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as special tax counsel to Public Service Company of New Mexico (the “Company”) and PNM Energy Transition Bond Company I, LLC (the “Issuing Entity”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form SF-1 (File Nos. 333-274433 and 333-274433-01) filed on September 8, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on October 13, 2023, and as amended by Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on October 30, 2023 (together, the “Registration Statement”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including the form of the prospectus (the “Prospectus”) included as part of the Registration Statement, relating to the registration thereunder of the Issuing Entity’s Energy Transition Bonds, Series A (the “Bonds”). The Bonds are issued pursuant to an Indenture (the “Base Indenture”) among the Issuing Entity, as issuing entity, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as securities intermediary (the “Securities Intermediary”), and a Series Supplement among the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Intermediary (the “Series Supplement” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”). Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Prospectus. You have requested our opinion regarding certain United States federal income tax matters.

 

The Company is the sole member of Issuing Entity. The Bonds represent obligations of Issuing Entity. The Bonds are sold pursuant to an underwriting agreement among the Issuing Entity, the Company, RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and the other underwriters named therein (the “Underwriting Agreement”). As described in the Prospectus, in connection with the issuance of the Bonds, the Company and the Issuing Entity entered into (i) a Sale Agreement for the sale of the Energy Transition Property to the Issuing Entity (the “Sale Agreement”), (ii) a Servicing Agreement for the servicing of the Energy Transition Property owned by the Issuing Entity (the “Servicing Agreement”), and (iii) an Administration Agreement for the provision of administrative services to Issuing Entity (the “Administration Agreement” and, together with the Sale Agreement, the Servicing Agreement, the Indenture and the Underwriting Agreement, the “Transaction Documents”). The assets of the Issuing Entity consist primarily of the rights and interests under the Financing Order, including the right to receive Energy Transition Charges.

 

As special tax counsel to the Company, we have examined and relied upon forms of the Transaction Documents filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement and upon originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such additional agreements, instruments, certificates, records and other documents and have made such examination of law as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of this opinion. In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies or by facsimile or other means of electronic transmission and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. Our opinions are also based on the assumption that there are no agreements or understandings with respect to the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents other than those contained in the Transaction Documents and that all parties to the Transaction Documents will comply with the terms thereof, including all tax reporting requirements contained therein.

As to facts relevant to the opinions expressed herein and the other statements made herein, we have relied without independent investigation upon certificates and oral or written statements and representations of public officials and officers and other representatives of the Company.

 

Based on Revenue Procedure 2005-62, 2005-2 C.B. 507 and the assumptions and representations set forth in the Prospectus and the Transaction Documents, we are of the opinion that for United States federal income tax purposes, (1) the issuance of the Bonds was a “qualifying securitization” within the meaning of Revenue Procedure 2005-62, (2) the Bonds are characterized as obligations of the Company, (3) the Issuing Entity is not subject to federal income tax as an entity separate from the Company (the Issuing Entity’s sole member), and (4) the Company was not treated as recognizing gross income upon the issuance of the Bonds.

 

The opinions set forth herein are based upon the current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Treasury Regulations issued or proposed thereunder, Revenue Rulings and other releases of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and current case law, any of which can change at any time. Any such changes can apply retroactively and modify the legal conclusions on which the opinions set forth herein are based. The opinions expressed herein are limited as described above, and we do not express an opinion on any other legal or income tax aspect of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. In addition, you should be aware that our opinions will have no binding effect on the IRS or a court and should not be considered a guarantee of the ultimate outcome of any controversy. There can be no assurance that positions contrary to those stated herein may not be asserted by the IRS.

 

In rendering the foregoing opinions, we express no opinion on the laws of any jurisdiction other than the federal income tax laws of the United States. The opinions expressed and the statements made herein are expressed and made as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to update this opinion or advise you of changes in legal authorities, facts (including the taking of any action by any party to the Transaction Documents pursuant to any opinion of counsel or waiver), assumptions or documents on which this opinion is based (or the effect thereof on the opinions expressed or the statements made herein) or any inaccuracy in any of the representations, warranties or assumptions upon which we have relied in rendering the opinions set forth herein unless we are specifically engaged to do so.

(ii)           Optional Interim True-Up Adjustments and Filings. In addition to the Semi-Annual True-Up Adjustments described in Section 4.01(b)(i), the Servicer may initiate an Optional Interim True-Up Adjustment (in the same manner as provided for the Semi-Annual True-Up Adjustments) at any time if the Servicer forecasts that Energy Transition Charge Collections during the current or succeeding Remittance Period will be insufficient (A) to make all scheduled payments of Periodic Principal and interest due in respect of any Energy Transition Bonds on a timely basis during such Remittance Period, (B) to pay Operating Expenses on a timely basis and (C) to replenish any draws on the Capital Subaccount.

 

7

 

 

(iii)           Non-standard True-Up Adjustments and Filings.  In the event that the Servicer determines that a Non-standard True-Up Adjustment is required at any time to be effective in connection with a base rate change that includes any change in the cost allocation among customers used in determining the Series Charges, the Servicer shall promptly (A) recalculate the Series Charges to reallocate the Series Charges among customers in accordance with the procedures for Non-standard True-Up Adjustments set forth in the Financing Order; (B) make all required public notices and other filings with the Commission to reflect the revised Series Charges, including any Amendatory Schedule; and (C) take all reasonable actions and make all reasonable efforts to effect such Non-standard True-Up Adjustment and to enforce the provisions of the Energy Transition Act and the Financing Order.  The Servicer shall implement the revised Series Charges, if any, resulting from such Non-standard True-Up Adjustment on the date the Non-standard True-Up Adjustment becomes effective.  For the avoidance of doubt, no Semi-Annual True-Up Adjustment or Optional Interim True-Up Adjustment shall be considered a Non-standard True-Up Adjustment solely because Series Charges are allocated under such Semi-Annual True-Up Adjustment or Optional Interim True-Up Adjustment in the same manner as in a preceding Non-standard True-Up Adjustment.

 

(c)            Reports.

 

(i)             Notification of Amendatory Schedule Filings and True-Up Adjustments.  Whenever the Servicer files an Amendatory Schedule with the Commission or implements revised Series Charges with notice to the Commission without filing an Amendatory Schedule if permitted by the Financing Order, the Servicer shall send a copy of such filing or notice (together with a copy of all notices and documents that, in the Servicer’s reasonable judgment, are material to the adjustments effected by such Amendatory Schedule or notice) to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies concurrently therewith.  If, for any reason any revised Series Charges are not implemented and effective on the applicable date set forth herein, the Servicer shall notify the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency by the end of the second Servicer Business Day after such applicable date.

 

(ii)            Semi-Annual Servicer’s Certificate.  Not later than five Servicer Business Days prior to each Payment Date or Special Payment Date, the Servicer shall deliver a written report substantially in the form of Exhibit C (the “Semi-Annual Servicer’s Certificate”) to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies, which shall include all of the following information (to the extent applicable and including any other information so specified in the Series Supplement) as to the Series A Bonds with respect to such Payment Date or Special Payment Date or the period since the previous Payment Date, as applicable:

 

(A)          the amount of the payment to Holders allocable to principal, if any;

 

(B)           the amount of the payment to Holders allocable to interest;

 

8

 

 

(C)          the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Series A Bonds, before and after giving effect to any payments allocated to principal reported under Section 4.01(c)(ii)(A);

 

(D)           the difference, if any, between the amount specified in Section 4.01(c)(ii)(C) and the Outstanding Amount specified in the Expected Amortization Schedule;

 

(E)           any other transfers and payments to be made on such Payment Date or Special Payment Date, including amounts paid to the Indenture Trustee and to the Servicer; and

 

(F)           the amounts on deposit in the Capital Subaccount and the Excess Funds Subaccount, after giving effect to the foregoing payments.

 

(iii)           Reports to Customers.

 

(A)          After each revised Series Charge has gone into effect pursuant to a True-Up Adjustment, the Servicer shall, to the extent and in the manner and time frame required by any applicable Commission Regulations, cause to be prepared and delivered to Customers any required notices announcing such revised Series Charges.

 

(B)           The Servicer shall comply with the requirements of the Financing Order with respect to the filing of the Energy Transition Rate Schedule to ensure that the Series Charges are separate and apart from the Servicer’s other charges and appear as a separate line item on the Bills sent to Customers.

 

Section 4.02          Limitation of Liability.

 

(a)            The Issuer and the Servicer expressly agree and acknowledge that:

 

(i)             In connection with any True-Up Adjustment, the Servicer is acting solely in its capacity as the servicing agent hereunder.

 

(ii)            None of the Servicer, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee is responsible in any manner for, and shall have no liability whatsoever as a result of, any action, decision, ruling or other determination made or not made, or any delay (other than any delay resulting from the Servicer’s failure to make any filings required by Section 4.01 in a timely and correct manner or any breach by the Servicer of its duties under this Servicing Agreement that adversely affects the Series Property or the True-Up Adjustments), by the Commission in any way related to the Series Property or in connection with any True-Up Adjustment, the subject of any filings under Section 4.01, any proposed True-Up Adjustment or the approval of any revised Series Charges and the scheduled adjustments thereto.

 

(iii)           Except to the extent that the Servicer is liable under Section 6.02, the Servicer shall have no liability whatsoever relating to the calculation of any revised Series Charges and the scheduled adjustments thereto, including as a result of any inaccuracy of any of the assumptions made in such calculation regarding expected customer count, energy usage volume and demand and the timing of collections, write-offs and estimated expenses and fees of the Issuer, so long as the Servicer has acted in good faith and has not acted in a grossly negligent manner in connection therewith, nor shall the Servicer have any liability whatsoever as a result of any Person, including the Holders, not receiving any payment, amount or return anticipated or expected or in respect of any Series A Bond.

 

9

 

 

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.02 shall not relieve the Servicer of liability for any misrepresentation by the Servicer under Section 6.01 or for any breach by the Servicer of its other obligations under this Servicing Agreement.

 

ARTICLE V
THE ENERGY TRANSITION PROPERTY

 

Section 5.01          Custody of Energy Transition Property Records.  To assure uniform quality in servicing the Series Property and to reduce administrative costs, the Issuer hereby revocably appoints the Servicer, and the Servicer hereby accepts such appointment, to act as the agent of the Issuer as custodian of any and all documents and records that the Servicer shall keep on file, in accordance with its customary procedures, relating to the Series Property, including copies of the Financing Order and Amendatory Schedules relating thereto and all documents filed with the Commission in connection with any True-Up Adjustment and computational records relating thereto (collectively for the Series A Bonds, the “Energy Transition Property Records”), which are hereby constructively delivered to the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Issuer with respect to all Series Property.

 

Section 5.02          Duties of Servicer as Custodian.

 

(a)            Safekeeping.  The Servicer shall hold the Energy Transition Property Records on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee and maintain such accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to the Energy Transition Property Records as shall enable the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, to comply with this Servicing Agreement, the Sale Agreement and the Indenture.  In performing its duties as custodian, the Servicer shall act with reasonable care, using that degree of care and diligence that the Servicer exercises with respect to comparable assets that the Servicer services for itself or, if applicable, for others.  The Servicer shall promptly report to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies any failure on its part to hold the Energy Transition Property Records and maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein provided and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to require an initial review or any periodic review by the Issuer or the  Indenture Trustee of the Energy Transition Property Records.  The Servicer’s duties to hold the Energy Transition Property Records set forth in this Section 5.02, to the extent the Energy Transition Property Records have not been previously transferred to a successor Servicer pursuant to ARTICLE VII, shall terminate one year and one day after the earlier of (i) the date on which the Servicer is succeeded by a successor Servicer in accordance with ARTICLE VII and (ii) the first date on which no Series A Bonds are Outstanding.

 

(b)          Maintenance of and Access to Records.  The Servicer shall maintain the Energy Transition Property Records at 414 Silver Ave. SW, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87102, or at such other office as shall be specified to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by written notice at least 30 days prior to any change in location.  The Servicer shall make available for inspection, audit and copying to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee or their respective duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors the Energy Transition Property Records at such times during normal business hours as the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall reasonably request and that do not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer’s normal operations.  Nothing in this Section 5.02(b) shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law (including any Commission Regulation) prohibiting disclosure of information regarding Customers, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to such information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 5.02(b).

 

10

 

 

(c)            Release of Documents.  Upon instruction from the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the Indenture, the Servicer shall release any Energy Transition Property Records to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee’s agent or the Indenture Trustee’s designee, as the case may be, at such place or places as the Indenture Trustee may designate, as soon as practicable.  Nothing in this Section 5.02(c) shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law (including any Commission Regulation) prohibiting disclosure of information regarding Customers, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to such information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 5.02(c).

 

(d)           Defending Series Property Against Claims.  To the extent not undertaken by the Seller pursuant to Section 4.08 of the Sale Agreement, the Servicer shall, on behalf of the Issuer and the Holders, institute any action or proceeding necessary to compel performance by the Commission or the State of New Mexico of any of their obligations or duties under the Energy Transition Act and the Financing Order, including defending against or instituting and pursuing legal actions and appearing or testifying at hearings or similar proceedings, as may be reasonably necessary to attempt to block or overturn any attempts to cause a repeal of, modification of or supplement to the Energy Transition Act or the Financing Order, or the rights of holders of Series Property by legislative enactment, constitutional amendment or other means that would be adverse to Holders or any series of Energy Transition Bonds. In any proceedings related to the exercise of the power of eminent domain by any municipality to acquire a portion of Public Service Company of New Mexico’s distribution facilities, the Servicer will assert that the court ordering such condemnation must treat such municipality as a successor to Public Service Company of New Mexico under the Energy Transition Act and the Financing Order. The costs of any such action shall be payable as an Operating Expense in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 8.02(d) of the Indenture and any additional indenture. The Servicer’s obligations pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall survive and continue notwithstanding the fact that the payment of Operating Expenses pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Indenture and any supplemental indenture may be delayed; provided, that, the Servicer is obligated to institute and maintain such action or proceedings only if it is being reimbursed on a current basis for its costs and expenses in taking such actions in accordance with Section 8.02 of the Indenture and any additional indenture, and is not required to advance its own funds to satisfy these obligations.

 

Section 5.03          Custodian’s Indemnification.  The Servicer as custodian shall indemnify the Issuer, any Independent Manager and the Indenture Trustee (for itself and for the benefit of the Holders) and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents for, and defend and hold harmless each such Person from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, payments and claims, and reasonable costs or expenses, of any kind whatsoever (including the fees, expenses and costs incurred in connection with any action, claim or suit brought to enforce the indemnification obligations of the Servicer hereunder)(collectively, “Indemnified Losses”) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against each such Person as the result of any grossly negligent act or omission in any way relating to the maintenance and custody by the Servicer, as custodian, of the Energy Transition Property Records; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for any portion of any such amount resulting from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of the Issuer, any Independent Manager or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be. Indemnification under this Section 5.03 shall survive resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee or any Independent Manager and shall include reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of investigation and litigation (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses).

 

11

 

 

Section 5.04           Effective Period and Termination.  The Servicer’s appointment as custodian shall become effective as of the Series Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to this Section 5.04. If the Servicer shall resign as Servicer in accordance with the provisions of this Servicing Agreement or if all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer shall have been terminated under Section 7.01, the appointment of the Servicer as custodian shall be terminated effective as of the date on which the termination or resignation of the Servicer is effective.  Additionally, if not sooner terminated as provided above, the Servicer’s obligations as custodian shall terminate one year and one day after the date on which no Series A Bonds are Outstanding.

 

ARTICLE VI
THE SERVICER

 

Section 6.01          Representations and Warranties of Servicer.  The Servicer makes the following representations and warranties, as of the Series Closing Date, and as of such other dates as expressly provided in this Section 6.01, on which the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee are deemed to have relied in entering into this Servicing Agreement relating to the servicing of the Series Property.  The representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery of this Servicing Agreement, the sale of the Series Property and the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.

 

(a)            Organization and Good Standing.  The Servicer is duly organized, validly existing and is in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization, with requisite corporate power and authority to own its properties, to conduct its business as such properties are currently owned and such business is presently conducted by it, to service the Series Property and hold the records related to the Series Property, and to execute, deliver and carry out the terms of this Servicing Agreement.

 

(b)            Due Qualification.  The Servicer is duly qualified to do business, is in good standing and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business (including the servicing of the Series Property as required under this Servicing Agreement) requires such qualifications, licenses or approvals (except where a failure to qualify would not be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Servicer’s business, operations, assets, revenues or properties or to its servicing of the Series Property).

 

12

 

 

(c)            Power and Authority.  The execution, delivery and performance of the terms of this Servicing Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Servicer under its organizational or governing documents and laws.

 

(d)           Binding Obligation.  This Servicing Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer enforceable against the Servicer in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect and to general principles of  equity (including concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing), regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

 

(e)            No Violation.  The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Servicing Agreement do not: (i) conflict with, result in any breach of or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under the Servicer’s organizational documents or any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Servicer is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound; (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon the Servicer’s properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture or agreement or other instrument (other than any Lien that may be granted under the Basic Documents); or (iii) violate any existing law or any existing order, rule or regulation applicable to the Servicer of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Servicer or its properties.

 

(f)            No Proceedings.  To the Servicer’s knowledge, there are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to the Servicer’s knowledge, threatened against the Servicer before any court, federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Servicer or its properties: (i) seeking to prevent issuance of the Series A Bonds or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Servicing Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents, or, if applicable, any supplement to the Indenture or amendment to the Sale Agreement; (ii) seeking any determination or ruling that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the performance by the Servicer of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability against the Servicer of, this Servicing Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents or, if applicable, any supplement to the Indenture or amendment to the Sale Agreement; or (iii) relating to the Servicer and which could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the treatment of the Series A Bonds for federal or state income, gross receipts or franchise tax purposes;

 

(g)            Approvals.  No governmental approvals, authorizations, consents, orders or other actions or filings with any Governmental Authority are required for the Servicer to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Servicing Agreement except those that have previously been obtained or made, those that are required to be made by the Servicer in the future pursuant to Article IV and those that the Servicer may need to file in the future to continue the effectiveness of any financing statements; and

 

(h)           Reports and Certificates.  Each report and certificate delivered in connection with any filing made to the Commission by the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer with respect to the Series Charges or True-Up Adjustments will constitute a representation and warranty by the Servicer that each such report or certificate, as the case may be, is true and correct in all material respects; provided, however, that, to the extent any such report or certificate is based in part upon or contains assumptions, forecasts or other predictions of future events, the representation and warranty of the Servicer with respect thereto will be limited to the representation and warranty that such assumptions, forecasts or other predictions of future events are reasonable based upon historical performance (and facts known to the Servicer on the date such report or certificate is delivered). 

 

13

 

 

The Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer are not responsible as a result of any action, decision, ruling or other determination made or not made, or any delay (other than any delay resulting from the Servicer’s failure to make any filings with the Commission required by this Servicing Agreement in a timely and correct manner or any breach by the Servicer of its duties under the Servicing Agreement that adversely affects the Series Property or the True-Up Adjustments), by the Commission in any way related to the Series Property or in connection with any True-Up Adjustment, the subject of any such filings, any proposed True-Up Adjustment or the approval of any revised Series Charges and the scheduled adjustments thereto. Except to the extent that the Servicer otherwise is liable under the provisions of this Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall have no liability whatsoever relating to the calculation of any revised Energy Transition Charges and the scheduled adjustments thereto, including as a result of any inaccuracy of any of the assumptions made in such calculations, so long as the Servicer has acted in good faith and has not acted in a grossly negligent manner in connection therewith, nor shall the Servicer have any liability whatsoever as a result of any person or entity, including the Holders, not receiving any payment, amount or return anticipated or expected or in respect of any Energy Transition Bond generally.

 

Section 6.02          Indemnities of Servicer; Release of Claims.  The Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Servicer under this Servicing Agreement.

 

(a)            The Servicer shall indemnify the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee (for itself and for the benefit of the Holders) and the Independent Manager and each of their respective trustees, officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party”), for, and defend and hold harmless each such Person from and against, any and all Indemnified Losses imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Person as a result of (i) the Servicer’s willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of, or reckless disregard of, its duties or observance of its covenants under the Servicing Agreement, (ii) the Servicer’s material breach of any of its representations or warranties that results in a Servicer Default under this Servicing Agreement; and (iii) litigation and related expenses relating to the Servicer’s status and obligations as Servicer (other than any proceeding the Servicer is required to institute under this Servicing Agreement), except to the extent of Indemnified Losses either resulting from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Person seeking indemnification hereunder or resulting from a breach of a representation or warranty made by such Person seeking indemnification hereunder in any of the Basic Documents that gives rise to the Servicer’s breach.

 

(b)           For purposes of Section 6.02(a), in the event of the termination of the rights and obligations of Public Service Company of New Mexico (or any successor thereto pursuant to Section 6.03) as Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01, or a resignation by such Servicer pursuant to this Servicing Agreement, such Servicer shall be deemed to be the Servicer pending appointment of a successor Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02.

 

14

 

 

(c)           Indemnification under this Section 6.02 shall survive any repeal of, modification of, or supplement to, or judicial invalidation of, the Energy Transition Act or the Financing Order and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee or any Independent Manager or the termination of this Servicing Agreement and shall include reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of investigation and litigation (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, including the fees, expenses and costs incurred in connection with any action, claim or suit brought to enforce the indemnification obligations of the Servicer hereunder).

 

(d)           Except to the extent expressly provided in this Servicing Agreement or the other Basic Documents (including the Servicer’s claims with respect to the Servicing Fee and the payment of the purchase price of Series Property), the Servicer hereby releases and discharges the Issuer, any Independent Manager and the Indenture Trustee, and each of their respective officers, directors and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”), from any and all actions, claims and demands whatsoever, whenever arising, which the Servicer, in its capacity as Servicer or otherwise, shall or may have against any such Person relating to the Series Property or the Servicer’s activities with respect thereto, other than any actions, claims and demands arising out of the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of the Released Parties.

 

(e)           The Servicer shall not be required to indemnify an Indemnified Party for any amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party in the settlement of any action, proceeding or investigation without the written consent of the Servicer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice (or, in the case of the Indenture Trustee, receipt of notice by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee only) of the commencement of any action, proceeding or investigation, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Servicer under this Section 6.02, notify the Servicer in writing of the commencement thereof.  Failure by an Indemnified Party to so notify the Servicer shall relieve the Servicer from the obligation to indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Party under this Section 6.02 only to the extent that the Servicer suffers actual prejudice as a result of such failure.  With respect to any action, proceeding or investigation brought by a third party for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 6.02, the Servicer shall be entitled to conduct and control, at its expense and with counsel of its choosing that is reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, the defense of any such action, proceeding or investigation (in which case the Servicer shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the Indemnified Party except as set forth below); provided, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such action, proceeding or investigation through counsel chosen by it and at its own expense.  Notwithstanding the Servicer’s election to assume the defense of any action, proceeding or investigation, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the Servicer shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel, if (i) the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Servicer and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Servicer, (ii) the Servicer shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action, (iii) the Servicer shall authorize the Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Servicer or (iv) in the case of the Indenture Trustee, such action exposes the Indenture Trustee to a material risk of criminal liability or forfeiture or a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be obligated to pay for the fees, costs and expenses of more than one separate counsel for the Indemnified Parties other than one local counsel, if appropriate.  The Servicer will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought under this Section 6.02 (whether or not the Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

 

15

 

 

Section 6.03           Binding Effect of Servicing Obligations.  The obligations to continue to provide service and to collect and account for Series Charges will be binding upon the Servicer, any Successor and any other entity that provides distribution services to a Person that is a New Mexico customer of Public Service Company of New Mexico or any Successor so long as the Series Charges have not been fully collected and posted.  Any Person (a) into which the Servicer may be merged, converted or consolidated and that is a Permitted Successor, (b) that may result from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party and that is a Permitted Successor, (c) that may succeed to the properties and assets of the Servicer substantially as a whole and that is a Permitted Successor or (d) that otherwise is a Permitted Successor, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform all of the obligations of the Servicer hereunder, shall be the successor to the Servicer under this Servicing Agreement without further act on the part of any of the parties to this Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that (i) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 6.01 shall have been breached and no Servicer Default and no event that, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) the Servicer shall have delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel from external counsel stating that such consolidation, conversion, merger or succession and such agreement of assumption complies with this Section 6.03 and that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Servicing Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with, (iii) the Servicer shall have delivered to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies an Opinion of Counsel from external counsel of the Servicer either (A) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all filings to be made by the Servicer, including filings with the Commission pursuant to the Energy Transition Act and the UCC, have been executed and filed and are in full force and effect that are necessary to fully preserve, perfect and maintain the priority of the interests of the Issuer and the Liens of the Indenture Trustee in the Series Property and reciting the details of such filings or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interests, (iv) the Servicer shall have delivered to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies an Opinion of Counsel from independent tax counsel stating that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such consolidation, conversion, merger or succession and such agreement of assumption will not result in a material adverse U.S. federal income tax consequence to the Issuer or the Holders of Series A Bonds and (v) the Servicer shall have given the Rating Agencies prior written notice of such transaction.  When any Person (or more than one Person) acquires the properties and assets of the Servicer substantially as a whole or otherwise becomes the successor, by merger, conversion, consolidation, sale, transfer, lease or otherwise, to all or substantially all the assets of the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.03, then, upon satisfaction of all of the other conditions of this Section 6.03, the preceding Servicer shall automatically and without further notice be released from all its obligations hereunder (except for responsibilities for its actions prior to such release).

Section 6.04           Limitation on Liability of Servicer and Others.

 

(a)            Except as otherwise provided under this Servicing Agreement, neither the Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Servicer shall be liable to the Issuer or any other Person for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Servicing Agreement or for good faith errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such Person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Servicing Agreement.  The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on the advice of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee or on any document of any kind, prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person, respecting any matters arising under this Servicing Agreement.

 

(b)           Except as provided in this Servicing Agreement, including Section 5.02(d), the Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action relating to the Series Property that is not directly related to one of the Servicer’s enumerated duties in this Servicing Agreement or related to its obligation to pay indemnification, and that in its reasonable opinion may cause it to incur any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may, in respect of any Proceeding, undertake any action that it is not specifically identified in this Servicing Agreement as a duty of the Servicer but that the Servicer reasonably determines is necessary or desirable in order to protect the rights and duties of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee under this Servicing Agreement and the interests of the Holders and Customers under this Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 6.05          Public Service Company of New Mexico Not to Resign as Servicer.  Subject to the provisions of Section 6.03, Public Service Company of New Mexico shall not resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it as Servicer under this Servicing Agreement except upon either (a) a determination by Public Service Company of New Mexico that the performance of its duties under this Servicing Agreement shall no longer be permissible under applicable law, or (b) satisfaction of the following: (i) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied and (ii) the Commission shall have approved of such resignation. Notice of any such determination permitting the resignation of Public Service Company of New Mexico shall be communicated to the Issuer, the Commission, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency at the earliest practicable time (and, if such communication is not in writing, shall be confirmed in writing at the earliest practicable time), and any such determination shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Issuer, the Commission and each Indenture Trustee concurrently with or promptly after such notice. No such resignation shall become effective until a Successor Servicer has assumed the servicing obligations and duties hereunder of the Servicer in accordance with Section 7.02.

Section 6.06           Servicing Compensation.

 

(a)            In consideration for its services hereunder, until the Collection in Full of the Charges, the Servicer shall receive an annual fee (the “Servicing Fee”) in an amount equal to (i) 0.05% of the aggregate initial principal amount of all Series A Bonds for so long as Public Service Company of New Mexico or an Affiliate of Public Service Company of New Mexico is the Servicer or (ii) if Public Service Company of New Mexico or any of its Affiliates is not the Servicer, an amount agreed upon by the Successor Servicer and the Indenture Trustee, provided, that the annual Servicing Fee shall not exceed 0.60% of the aggregate initial principal amount of all Series A Bonds, unless the Commission has approved the appointment of the Successor Servicer or the Commission does not act to either approve or disapprove such appointment on or before the date which is 45 days after notice of the proposed appointment of the Successor Servicer is provided to the Commission in the same manner substantially as provided in Section 8.01(c).  The Servicing Fee owing shall be calculated based on the initial principal amount of the Series A Bonds and shall be paid semi-annually, with half of the Servicing Fee being paid on each Payment Date, except for the amount of the Servicing Fee to be paid on the first Payment Date in which the Servicing Fee then due will be calculated based on the number of days that this Servicing Agreement has been in effect. In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Issuer for filing fees and fees and expenses for attorneys, accountants, printing or other professional services retained by the Issuer and paid for by the Servicer (or procured by the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer and paid for by the Servicer) to meet the Issuer’s obligations under the Basic Documents (“Reimbursable Expenses”). Except for such Reimbursable Expenses, the Servicer shall be required to pay all other costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer in performing its activities hereunder (but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any such costs and expenses incurred by Public Service Company of New Mexico in its capacity as Administrator). It is expressly acknowledged that the payment of fees to the Rating Agencies shall be at the expense of the Issuer and that, if the Servicer advances such payments to the Rating Agencies, the Issuer shall reimburse the Servicer for any such advances.

 

(b)            The Servicing Fee set forth in Section 6.06(a) shall be paid to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee, on each Payment Date in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 8.02(e) of the Indenture, by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Collection Account to an account designated by the Servicer.  Any portion of the Servicing Fee not paid on any such date shall be added to the Servicing Fee payable on the subsequent Payment Date.  In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for the payment of any Servicing Fee or other amounts specified in this Section 6.06; provided, that this Section 6.06 does not relieve the Indenture Trustee of any duties it has to allocate funds for payment for such fees under Section 8.02 of the Indenture.

 

(c)            The Servicer and the Issuer acknowledge and agree that the Servicer’s actual collections of Series Charges on some days might exceed the Servicer’s deemed collections, and that the Servicer’s actual collections of Series Charges on other days might be less than the Servicer’s deemed collections. The Servicer and the Issuer further acknowledge and agree that the amount of these variances are likely to be small and are not likely to be biased in favor of over-remittances or under-remittances. Consequently, so long as the Servicer faithfully makes all daily remittances based on weighted average days sales outstanding, as provided for herein, the Servicer and the Issuer agree that no actual or deemed investment earnings shall be payable in respect of such over-remittances or under-remittances. However, the Servicer shall remit at least annually to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Issuer, any late charges received from Customers in respect of Series Charges.

 

18

 

 

(d)           The foregoing Servicing Fee constitutes a fair and reasonable compensation for the obligations to be performed by the Servicer.  Such Servicing Fee shall be determined without regard to the income of the Issuer, shall not be deemed to constitute distributions to the recipient of any profit, loss or capital of the Issuer and shall be considered a fixed Operating Expense of the Issuer subject to the limitations on such expenses set forth in the Financing Order.

 

(e)            Any services required for or contemplated by the performance of the above-referenced services by the Servicer to be provided by unaffiliated third parties may, if provided for or otherwise contemplated by the Financing Order and if the Issuer deems it necessary or desirable, be arranged by the Issuer or by the Servicer at the direction (which may be general or specific) of the Issuer. Costs and expenses associated with the contracting for such third-party professional services may be paid directly by the Issuer or paid by the Servicer and reimbursed by the Issuer in accordance with Section 6.06(a), or otherwise as the Servicer and the Issuer may mutually arrange.

 

Section 6.07          Compliance with Applicable Law.  The Servicer covenants and agrees, in servicing the Series Property, to comply in all material respects with all laws applicable to, and binding upon, the Servicer and relating to the Series Property, the noncompliance with which would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Series Property; provided, however, that the foregoing is not intended to, and shall not, impose any liability on the Servicer for noncompliance with any Requirement of Law that the Servicer is contesting in good faith in accordance with its customary standards and procedures. 

 

Section 6.08          Access to Certain Records and Information Regarding Series Property.  The Servicer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee access to the Energy Transition Property Records for the Series A Bonds as is reasonably required for the Indenture Trustee to perform its duties and obligations under the Indenture and the other Basic Documents and shall provide access to such records to the Holders as required by applicable law.  Access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer.  Nothing in this Section 6.08 shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law (including any Commission Regulation) prohibiting disclosure of information regarding Customers, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to such information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 6.08.

 

Section 6.09          Appointments.  The Servicer may at any time appoint any Person to perform all or any portion of its obligations as Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that, unless such Person is an Affiliate of Public Service Company of New Mexico, the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied in connection therewith; provided, further, that the Servicer shall remain obligated and be liable under this Servicing Agreement for the servicing and administering of the Series Property in accordance with the provisions hereof without diminution of such obligation and liability by virtue of the appointment of such Person and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Series Property.  The fees and expenses of any such Person shall be as agreed between the Servicer and such Person from time to time, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Holders or any other Person shall have any responsibility therefor or right or claim thereto.  Any such appointment shall not constitute a Servicer resignation under Section 6.05.

 

19

 

 

Section 6.10           No Servicer Advances.  The Servicer shall not make any advances of interest on or principal of the Series A Bonds.

 

Section 6.11           Remittances.

 

(a)           The Energy Transition Charge Collections on any Servicer Business Day (the “Daily Remittance”) shall be calculated according to the procedures set forth in Exhibit A and remitted by the Servicer as soon as reasonably practicable to the General Subaccount of the Collection Account but in no event later than two Servicer Business Days following such Servicer Business Day.  Prior to each remittance to the General Subaccount of the Collection  Account pursuant to this Section 6.11, the Servicer shall provide written notice (which may be via electronic means, including electronic mail) to the Indenture Trustee and, upon request, to the Issuer of each such remittance (including the exact dollar amount to be remitted).  The Servicer shall also, promptly upon receipt, remit to the Collection Account any other proceeds of the Collateral that it may receive from time to time.  Reconciliations of bank statements shall be as set forth in Exhibit A.

 

(b)           The Servicer agrees and acknowledges that it holds all Energy Transition Charge Payments collected by it and any other proceeds for the Collateral received by it for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders and that all such amounts will be remitted by the Servicer in accordance with this Section 6.11 without any surcharge, fee, offset, charge or other deduction except for any interest earnings permitted by Section 6.06.  The Servicer further agrees not to make any claim to reduce its obligation to remit all Energy Transition Charge Payments collected by it in accordance with this Servicing Agreement.

 

(c)            Unless otherwise directed to do so by the Issuer, the Servicer shall be responsible for selecting Eligible Investments in which the funds in the Collection Account shall be invested pursuant to Section 8.03 of the Indenture.

 

Section 6.12          Maintenance of Operations.  Subject to Section 6.03, Public Service Company of New Mexico agrees to continue, unless prevented by circumstances beyond its control, to operate its electric distribution system to provide service so long as it is acting as the Servicer under this Servicing Agreement.

 

ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT

 

Section 7.01           Servicer Default.  If any one or more of the following events (a “Servicer Default”) shall occur and be continuing:

 

(a)            any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Collection Account on behalf of the Issuer any required remittance that shall continue unremedied for a period of five Business Days after written notice of such failure is received by the Servicer from the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee or after discovery of such failure by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer;

 

20

 

 

(b)           any failure on the part of the Servicer or, so long as the Servicer is Public Service Company of New Mexico or an Affiliate thereof, any failure on the part of Public Service Company of New Mexico, as the case may be, duly to observe or to perform in any material respect any covenants or agreements of the Servicer or Public Service Company of New Mexico, as the case may be, set forth in this Servicing Agreement (other than as provided in Section 7.01(a) or Section 7.01(c)) or any other Basic Document to which it is a party, which failure shall (i) materially and adversely affect the rights of the Holders and (ii) continue unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which (A) written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer or Public Service Company of New Mexico, as the case may be, by the Issuer (with a copy to the Indenture Trustee) or to the Servicer or Public Service Company of New Mexico, as the case may be, by the Indenture Trustee or (B) such failure is discovered by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer;

 

(c)           any failure by the Servicer duly to perform its obligations under Section 4.01(b) in the time and manner set forth therein, which failure continues unremedied for a period of five Business Days;

 

(d)           any representation or warranty made by the Servicer in this Servicing Agreement or any other Basic Document shall prove to have been incorrect in a material respect when made, which has a material adverse effect on the Holders and which material adverse effect continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which (i) written notice thereof, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been delivered to the Servicer (with a copy to the Indenture Trustee) by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee or (ii) such failure is discovered by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer; or

 

(e)           an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Servicer or Public Service Company of New Mexico;

 

then, and in each and every case, so long as the Servicer Default shall not have been remedied,the Indenture Trustee shall, upon the instruction of Holders evidencing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Series A Bonds, subject to the terms of any intercreditor agreement executed in connection with any additional energy transition bonds, by notice then given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the Holders) (a “Termination Notice”), terminate all the rights and obligations (other than the obligations set forth in Section 6.02 and the obligation under Section 7.02 to continue performing its functions as Servicer until a successor Servicer is appointed) of the Servicer under this Servicing Agreement.  In addition, upon a Servicer Default described in Section 7.01(a), the Holders and the Indenture Trustee as financing parties under the Energy Transition Act (or any of their representatives) shall be entitled to apply to the Commission or a court of appropriate jurisdiction for an order for sequestration and payment of revenues arising with respect to the Series Property.  On or after the receipt by the Servicer of a Termination Notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Servicing Agreement, whether with respect to the Series A Bonds, the Series Property, the Series Charges or otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in such successor Servicer as may be appointed under Section 7.02; and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the predecessor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such Termination Notice, whether to complete the transfer of the Energy Transition Property Records and related documents, or otherwise.  The predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Servicer under this Servicing Agreement, including the transfer to the successor Servicer for administration by it of all Energy Transition Property Records and all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the predecessor Servicer for remittance, or shall thereafter be received by it with respect to the Series Property or the Series Charges.  As soon as practicable  after receipt by the Servicer of such Termination Notice, the Servicer shall deliver the Energy Transition Property Records to the successor Servicer.  In case a successor Servicer is appointed as a result of a Servicer Default, all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with transferring the Energy Transition Property Records to the successor Servicer and amending this Servicing Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses.  Termination of Public Service Company of New Mexico as Servicer shall not terminate Public Service Company of New Mexico’s rights or obligations under the Sale Agreement (except rights thereunder deriving from its rights as the Servicer hereunder).

 

21

 

 

Section 7.02           Appointment of Successor.

 

(a)           Upon the Servicer’s receipt of a Termination Notice pursuant to Section 7.01 or the Servicer’s resignation or removal in accordance with the terms of this Servicing Agreement, the predecessor Servicer shall continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Servicing Agreement and shall be entitled to receive the requisite portion of the Servicing Fee, until a successor Servicer shall have assumed in writing the obligations of the Servicer hereunder as described below.  In the event of the Servicer’s removal or resignation hereunder, the Indenture Trustee may, at the written direction and with the consent of the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Series A Bonds shall, appoint a successor Servicer with the Issuer’s prior written consent thereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in form reasonably acceptable to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee and provide prompt written notice of such assumption to the Issuer and the Rating Agencies.  If, within 30 days after the delivery of the Termination Notice, a new Servicer shall not have been appointed, the Indenture Trustee may, at the direction of the Holders of a majority of the Series A Bonds, petition the Commission or a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Servicer under this Servicing Agreement.  A Person shall qualify as a successor Servicer only if (i) such Person is permitted under Commission Regulations to perform the duties of the Servicer, (ii) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied and (iii) such Person enters into a servicing agreement with the Issuer having substantially the same provisions as this Servicing Agreement.  In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for its appointment of a successor Servicer.  The Indenture Trustee’s expenses incurred under this Section 7.02(a) shall be at the sole expense of the Issuer and payable from the Collection Account as provided in Section 8.02 of the Indenture.

 

(b)           Upon appointment, the successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the predecessor Servicer and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising thereafter placed on the predecessor Servicer and shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and all the rights granted to the predecessor Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Servicing Agreement.

 

22

 

 

Section 7.03           Waiver of Past Defaults.  The Indenture Trustee, with the written consent of the Holders evidencing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Series A Bonds, may waive in writing any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a default in making any required deposits to the Collection Account in accordance with this Servicing Agreement.  Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Servicing Agreement.  No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto.  Promptly after the execution of any such waiver, the Servicer shall furnish copies of such waiver to each of the Rating Agencies.

 

Section 7.04           Notice of Servicer Default.  The Servicer shall deliver to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than five Business Days thereafter, written notice of any event that, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default under Section 7.01.

 

Section 7.05           Cooperation with Successor.  The Servicer covenants and agrees with the Issuer that it will, on an ongoing basis, cooperate with the successor Servicer and provide whatever information is, and take whatever actions are, reasonably necessary to assist the successor Servicer in performing its obligations hereunder.

(e)            Partial Collections.  Upon a partial payment of amounts billed, including amounts billed under special contracts, such partial payments shall be allocated in accordance with applicable Commission requirements and any other requirements of applicable law. As of the date of this Servicing Agreement, (a) the Servicer allocates payments received (i) first, to past-due amounts, (ii) second, to customer deposit requirements, (iii) third, to current customer charges, and (iv) fourth, to charges previously written-off, and (b) for amounts billed on the same date, charges are credited based on a priority waterfall, with late payment charges being credited first, Series Charges being credited second, and other charges being credited therafter in the priority waterfall.

WHEREAS, the Seller is willing to sell its rights and interests under the Financing Order to the Issuer, whereupon such rights and interests will become the Series Property;

 

WHEREAS, the Issuer, in order to finance the purchase of the Series Property, will issue the Series A Bonds under the Indenture; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I.
DEFINITIONS AND RULES OF CONSTRUCTION

 

SECTION 1.01.      Definitions and Rules of Construction. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Sale Agreement shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in Appendix A of the Indenture dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the provisions thereof, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and U.S. Bank National Association, in its capacity as securities intermediary. Not all terms defined in Appendix A of the Indenture are used in this Sale Agreement. The rules of construction set forth in Appendix A of the Indenture shall apply to this Sale Agreement.

 

ARTICLE II.
CONVEYANCE OF SERIES PROPERTY

 

SECTION 2.01.      Conveyance of Series Property.

 

(a)            In consideration of the Issuer’s delivery to or upon the order of the Seller of $316,446,911, subject to the conditions specified in Section 2.02, the Seller does hereby irrevocably sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Issuer, without recourse or warranty, except as set forth herein, all right, title and interest of the Seller in, to and under the Series Property (such sale, transfer, assignment, setting over and conveyance of the Series Property includes, to the fullest extent permitted by the Energy Transition Act and the New Mexico UCC, the assignment of all revenues or other proceeds of or arising from the Series Charges related to the Series Property, as the same may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the Financing Order and the Energy Transition Act). Such sale, transfer, assignment, setting over and conveyance is hereby expressly stated to be a sale or other absolute transfer and, pursuant to Section 62-18-14(A) of the Energy Transition Act, shall be treated as an absolute transfer and true sale and not as a pledge of or secured transaction relating to the Seller’s right, title, and interest in, to, and under the Series Property. The Seller and the Issuer agree that after giving effect to the sale, transfer, assignment, setting over and conveyance contemplated hereby the Seller has no right, title or interest in, to or under the Series Property to which a security interest could attach because (i) it has sold, transferred, assigned, set over and conveyed all right, title and interest in and to the Series Property to the Issuer, (ii) as provided in Section 62-18-14 of the Energy Transition Act, all right, title and interest shall have passed to the Issuer and (iii) as provided in Section 62-18-14(B) of the Energy Transition Act, appropriate financing statements shall have been filed and such transfer is perfected against all third parties, except creditors holding a prior security interest, ownership interest or assignment in the Series Property previously perfected in accordance with Section 62-18-13 of the Energy Transition Act. If such sale, transfer, assignment, setting over and conveyance is held by any court of competent jurisdiction not to be an absolute transfer and true sale as provided in Section 62-18-14(A) of the Energy Transition Act, then such sale, transfer, assignment, setting over and conveyance shall be treated as a pledge of the Series Property and as the creation of a security interest (within the meaning of the Energy Transition Act and the UCC) in the Series Property and, without prejudice to its position that it has absolutely transferred all of its rights in the Series Property to the Issuer, the Seller hereby grants a security interest in the Series Property to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties) to secure their respective rights under the Basic Documents to receive the Series Charges and all other Series Property.

 

 

 

 

(b)            Subject to Section 2.02, the Issuer does hereby purchase the Series Property from the Seller for the consideration set forth in Section 2.01(a).

 

SECTION 2.02.      Conditions to Conveyance of Series Property. The obligation of the Seller to sell, and the obligation of the Issuer to purchase, Series Property on the Series Closing Date shall be subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of the following conditions:

 

(a)            on or prior to the Series Closing Date, the Seller shall have delivered to the Issuer a duly executed Bill of Sale identifying and conveying the Series Property on the Series Closing Date;

 

(b)            on or prior to the Series Closing Date, the Seller shall have obtained the Financing Order creating the Series Property;

 

(c)            as of the Series Closing Date, the Seller is not insolvent and will not have been made insolvent by such sale and the Seller is not aware of any pending insolvency with respect to itself;

 

(d)            as of the Series Closing Date, (i) the representations and warranties of the Seller in this Sale Agreement must be true and correct with the same force and effect as if made on that date (except to the extent they relate to an earlier date), (ii) no breach of any covenant or agreement of the Seller contained in this Sale Agreement has occurred and is continuing and (iii) no Servicer Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

 

(e)            as of the Series Closing Date, (i) the Issuer shall have sufficient funds available to pay the purchase price for the Series Property to be conveyed on such date and (ii) all conditions to the issuance of the Series A Bonds intended to provide such funds set forth in the Indenture and the applicable Series Supplement shall have been satisfied or waived;

(f)            on or prior to the Series Closing Date, the Seller shall have taken all action required to transfer to the Issuer ownership of the Series Property on such date, free and clear of all Liens other than Liens created by the Issuer pursuant to the Basic Documents and to perfect such transfer, including filing any statements or filings under the Energy Transition Act or the New Mexico UCC; and the Issuer or the Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer, shall have taken any action required for the Issuer to grant the Indenture Trustee a Lien and first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral and maintain such security interest as of the Series Closing Date;

SECTION 3.05.      No Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Sale Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do not: (a) conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the Seller’s organizational documents or any indenture, or other material agreement or instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which it is bound; or (b) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the Seller’s properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than any Lien that may be granted in the Issuer’s favor or any Lien under the Basic Documents or any Liens created by the Issuer pursuant to the Energy Transition Act) or violate any existing law or any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Seller issued by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Seller or its properties.

(b)            True-Sale and Absolute Transfer. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the transfer, sale, assignment and conveyance of the Series Property herein contemplated constitutes a sale or other absolute transfer of all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in the Series Property to the Issuer; upon the execution and delivery of this Sale Agreement and the Bill of Sale on the Series Closing Date, the Series Property shall be validly transferred, sold and assigned to the Issuer and the Seller will have no right, title or interest in the Series Property and the Series Property would not be part of the estate of the Seller as debtor in the event of a filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law.

(c)            Title.

(d)            Financing Order; Other Approvals. On the Series Closing Date, under the laws of the State of New Mexico (including the Energy Transition Act) and the United States in effect on the Series Closing Date: (i) the Financing Order pursuant to which the Series Property has been created is in full force and effect and is Final; (ii) as of the issuance of the Series A Bonds, the Series A Bonds are entitled to the protections provided by the Energy Transition Act and, accordingly, the Financing Order and the Series Charges are not revocable by the Commission; (iii) revisions to Public Service Company of New Mexico’s electric tariff to implement the Series Charges shall be filed not later than 15 days after the Series Closing Date and, in accordance with the Energy Transition Act, the Series Charges will become effective 15 days after such filing, such revisions shall be consistent with the Financing Order, and, pursuant to the Energy Transition Act, any electric tariff implemented consistent with a Financing Order issued by the Commission is not subject to modification by the Commission except for True-Up Adjustments made in accordance with the Energy Transition Act; (iv) the process by which the Financing Order creating the Series Property was adopted and approved complies with all applicable laws, rules and regulations; (v) the Financing Order is not subject to appeal and is legally enforceable, and the process by which it was issued complied with all applicable laws, rules and regulations and (vi) no Governmental Approvals, authorizations, consents, orders or other actions or filings, other than filings under the Energy Transition Act or the UCC of New Mexico or Delaware, are required for the Seller to executed, deliver and perform its obligations under this Sale Agreement except those which have previously been obtained or made or are required to be made by the Servicer in the future pursuant to the Servicing Agreement.

 

(e)            State Action. Under the Energy Transition Act, the State of New Mexico may not take or permit any action that would impair the value of the Series Property or reduce or alter, except for the True-Up Adjustment, or reduce, alter or impair the Series Charges to be imposed, collected and remitted to the Issuer, for the benefit of the Holders of the Series A Bonds until the principal of, interest on, and redemption premium (if any) or other charges incurred in connection with the Series A Bonds are paid in full. Furthermore, under the contract clauses of the Constitution of the State of New Mexico and the United States Constitution, the State of New Mexico, including the Commission, could not take any action of a legislative character, including repeal or amendment of the Energy Transition Act or the Financing Order that substantially impairs the value of the Series Property or substantially reduces or alters, except for the True-Up Adjustment, or substantially impairs the Series Charges to be imposed, collected and remitted to the Issuer for the benefit of the Holders of the Series A Bonds, unless such action is a reasonable exercise of the State of New Mexico’s sovereign powers and of a character reasonable and appropriate to further a significant and legitimate public purpose and, under the takings clauses of the constitution of the State of New Mexico and the United States Constitution, the State of New Mexico, including the Commission, could not repeal or amend the Energy Transition Act or the Financing Order or take any other action in contravention of the State Pledge, without paying just compensation to the Holders of the Series A Bonds, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, if such action constitutes a permanent appropriation of a substantial property interest of the Holders of the Series A Bonds in the Series Property and deprives the Holders of the Series A Bonds of their reasonable expectations arising from their investment in the Series A Bonds. However, there is no assurance that, even if a court were to award just compensation, it would be sufficient to pay the full amount of principal of, interest on and redemption premium (if any) on the Series A Bonds.

(f)            Assumptions. On the Series Closing Date, based upon the information available to the Seller on such date, the assumptions used in calculating the Series Charges are reasonable and are made in good faith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, that amounts actually collected arising from those Series Charges will in fact be sufficient to meet the payment obligations on the related Series A Bonds or that the assumptions used in calculating such Series Charges will in fact be realized.

 

(g)            Creation of Series Property.

 

(i)            For purposes of the Energy Transition Act, the Series Property constitutes a present property right that will continue to exist until the Series A Bonds issued pursuant to the Financing Order and all Financing Costs of the Series A Bonds are paid in full; and

 

(ii)            the Series Property consists of (A) all rights and interest of the Seller under the Financing Order, including the right to impose, charge, collect and receive Series Charges in an amount necessary to provide for full payment and recovery of all Energy Transition Costs identified in the Financing Order; (B) the right under the Financing Order to obtain True-Up Adjustments of the Series Charges; and (C) all revenues or other proceeds arising out of the rights and interests described in (A) and (B).

 

(h)            Nature of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 3.08, insofar as they involve conclusions of law, are made not on the basis that the Seller purports to be a legal expert or to be rendering legal advice, but rather to reflect the parties’ good faith understanding of the legal basis on which the parties are entering into this Sale Agreement and the other Basic Documents and the basis on which the Holders are purchasing the Series A Bonds, and to reflect the parties’ agreement that, if such understanding turns out to be incorrect or inaccurate, the Seller will be obligated to indemnify the Issuer and its permitted assigns (to the extent required by and in accordance with Section 5.01), and that the Issuer and its permitted assigns will be entitled to enforce any rights and remedies under the Basic Documents on account of such inaccuracy to the same extent as if the Seller had breached any other representations or warranties hereunder.

 

(i)            Prospectus. As of the date hereof, the information describing the Seller under the caption “Public Service Company of New Mexico’s Review of Energy Transition Property” and “Public Service Company of New Mexico—The Depositor, Sponsor, Seller and Initial Servicer” in the prospectus dated November 7, 2023 relating to the Series A Bonds is true and correct in all material respects.

(i)            is solvent and expects to remain solvent;

7

 

 

(iii)          is not engaged in nor does it expect to engage in a business for which its remaining property represents unreasonably small capital;

 

(iv)          reasonably believes that it will be able to pay its debts as they come due; and

 

(v)           is able to pay its debts as they mature and does not intend to incur, or believes that it will not incur, indebtedness that it will not be able to repay at its maturity.

 

(k)            No Court Order. There is no order by any court providing for the revocation, alteration, limitation or other impairment of the Energy Transition Act, the Financing Order, the Series Property or the Series Charges or any rights arising under any of them or that seeks to enjoin the performance of any obligations under the Financing Order.

 

(l)            Survival of Representations and Warranties The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 3.08 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Sale Agreement and may not be waived by any party hereto except pursuant to a written agreement executed in accordance with Article VI and as to which the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied.

 

SECTION 3.09.      Limitations on Representations and Warranties. Without prejudice to any of the other rights of the parties, the Seller will not be in breach of any representation or warranty as a result of a change in law by means of any legislative enactment, constitutional amendment or voter referendum. Notwithstanding anything in this Sale Agreement to the contrary, the Seller makes no representation that amounts collected will be sufficient to meet the obligations on the Series A Bonds.

ARTICLE V.
THE SELLER

 

SECTION 5.01.      Liability of Seller; Indemnities.

 

(a)            The Seller shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Seller under this Sale Agreement.

 

(b)            The Seller shall indemnify the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, trustees, managers and agents for, and defend and hold harmless each such Person from and against, any and all taxes (other than taxes imposed on Holders as a result of their ownership of a Series A Bond) that may at any time be imposed on or asserted against any such Person as a result of the sale and assignment of the Series Property to the Issuer, including any franchise, sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible personal property, privilege or license taxes, but excluding any taxes imposed as a result of a failure of such Person to withhold or remit taxes with respect to payments on any Series A Bond, it being understood that the Holders shall be entitled to enforce their rights against the Seller under this Section 5.01(b) solely through a cause of action brought for their benefit by the Indenture Trustee as set forth in the Indenture.

 

(c)            The Seller shall indemnify the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, trustees, managers and agents for, and defend and hold harmless each such Person from and against, any and all taxes (other than taxes imposed on Holders as a result of their ownership of a Series A Bond) that may at any time be imposed on or asserted against any such Person as a result of the Issuer’s ownership and assignment of the Series Property, the issuance and sale by the Issuer of the Series A Bonds or the other transactions contemplated in the Basic Documents, including any franchise, sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible personal property, privilege or license taxes, but excluding any taxes imposed as a result of a failure of such Person to withhold or remit taxes with respect to payments on any Series A Bond.

 

(d)            The Seller shall indemnify the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents for, and defend and hold harmless each such Person from and against, all Losses that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against each such Person, in each such case, as a result of the Seller’s breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Sale Agreement.

 

12

 

 

(e)            Indemnification under Sections 5.01(b), 5.01(c), 5.01(d) and 5.01(f) shall include reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of investigation and litigation (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, including such fees and expenses incurred in connection with enforcing the indemnification obligations of the Seller hereunder).

 

(f)            The Seller shall indemnify the Indenture Trustee (for itself) and each Independent Manager, and any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”), for, and defend and hold harmless each such Person from and against, any and all Losses incurred by any of such Indemnified Persons as a result of the Seller’s breach of any of its representations and warranties or covenants contained in this Sale Agreement, except to the extent of Losses either resulting from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person or resulting from a breach of a representation or warranty made by such Indemnified Person in any of the Basic Documents that gives rise to the Seller’s breach. The Seller shall not be required to indemnify an Indemnified Person for any amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person in the settlement of any action, proceeding or investigation without the prior written consent of the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of any action, proceeding or investigation, such Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Seller under this Section 5.01(f), notify the Seller in writing of the commencement thereof. Failure by an Indemnified Person to so notify the Seller shall relieve the Seller from the obligation to indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Person under this Section 5.01(f) only to the extent that the Seller suffers actual prejudice as a result of such failure. With respect to any action, proceeding or investigation brought by a third party for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 5.01(f), the Seller shall be entitled to conduct and control, at its expense and with counsel of its choosing that is reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, the defense of any such action, proceeding or investigation (in which case the Seller shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the Indemnified Person except as set forth below); provided, that the Indemnified Person shall have the right to participate in such action, proceeding or investigation through counsel chosen by it and at its own expense. Notwithstanding the Seller’s election to assume the defense of any action, proceeding or investigation, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the Seller shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Person and the Seller and the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Seller, (ii) the Seller shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action, (iii) the Seller shall authorize the Indemnified Person to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Seller or (iv) in the case of the Indenture Trustee, such action exposes the Indenture Trustee to a material risk of criminal liability or forfeiture or a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall not be obligated to pay for the fees, costs and expenses of more than one separate counsel for the Indemnified Persons other than one local counsel, if appropriate.

(g)            The Seller shall indemnify the Servicer (if the Servicer is not the Seller) for the costs of any action instituted by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.02(d) of the Servicing Agreement that are not paid as Operating Expenses in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 8.02(e) of the Indenture.

 

(h)            The remedies provided in this Sale Agreement are the sole and exclusive remedies against the Seller for breach of its representations and warranties in this Sale Agreement.

 

(i)            Indemnification under this Section 5.01 shall survive any repeal of, modification of, or supplement to, or judicial invalidation of, the Energy Transition Act or the Financing Order and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee or the termination of this Sale Agreement and will rank pari passu with other general, unsecured obligations of the Seller. The Seller shall not indemnify any party under this Section 5.01 for any changes in law after the Series Closing Date, whether such changes in law are effected by means of any legislative enactment, any constitutional amendment or any final and non-appealable judicial decision.

 

SECTION 5.02.      Merger, Conversion or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, Seller. Any Person (a) into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated and which succeeds to all or substantially all of the electric distribution business of the Seller, (b) which results from the division of the Seller into two or more Persons and which succeeds to all or substantially all of the electric distribution business of the Seller, (c) which may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Seller shall be a party and which succeeds to all or substantially all of the electric distribution business of the Seller, (d) which may succeed to the properties and assets of the Seller substantially as a whole and which succeeds to all or substantially all of the electric distribution business of the Seller, or (e) which may otherwise succeed to all or substantially all of the electric distribution business of the Seller, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Seller under this Sale Agreement, shall be the successor to the Seller hereunder without the execution or filing of any document or any further act by any of the parties to this Sale Agreement; provided, however, that: (i) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no representation or warranty made pursuant to Article III shall have been breached and no Servicer Default, and no event that, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default, shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such consolidation, reorganization, merger or succession and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section 5.02 and that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Sale Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with, (iii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, either (A) all filings to be made by the Seller or the Seller, in its capacity as Seller or as Servicer, including filings under the Energy Transition Act with the New Mexico Secured Transaction Registry and the UCC, that are necessary or advisable to fully preserve and protect the respective interests of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in the Series Property have been executed and filed, and reciting the details of such filings, or (B) no such action is necessary to preserve and protect such interests, (iv) the Seller shall have given the Rating Agencies prior written notice of such transaction and (v) the Seller shall have delivered to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies an Opinion of Counsel from external tax counsel stating that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such consolidation, conversion, merger or succession and such agreement of assumption will not result in a material U.S. federal income tax consequence to the Issuer, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Series A Bonds. When any Person (or more than one Person) acquires the properties and assets of the Seller substantially as a whole or otherwise becomes the successor, whether by merger, conversion, consolidation, sale, transfer, lease, management contract or otherwise, to all or substantially all of the assets of the Seller in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.02, then, upon satisfaction of all of the other conditions of this Section 5.02, the preceding Seller shall automatically and without further notice be released from all of its obligations hereunder.

 

14

 

 

SECTION 5.03.      Limitation on Liability of Seller and Others. The Seller and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Seller may rely in good faith on the advice of counsel or on any document of any kind, prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person, respecting any matters arising hereunder. Subject to Section 4.08, the Seller shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its obligations under this Sale Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability.

BILL OF SALE

 

This Bill of Sale is being delivered pursuant to the Energy Transition Property Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of November 15, 2023 (the “Sale Agreement”), by and between Public Service Company of New Mexico (the “Seller”) and PNM Energy Transition Bond Company I, LLC (the “Issuer”). All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Sale Agreement.

 

In consideration of the Issuer’s delivery to or upon the order of the Seller of $316,446,911, the Seller does hereby irrevocably sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Issuer, without recourse or warranty, except as set forth in the Sale Agreement, all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Series Property created or arising under the Financing Order dated April 1, 2020 issued by the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission under the Energy Transition Act (such sale, transfer, assignment, setting over and conveyance of the Series Property includes, to the fullest extent permitted by the Energy Transition Act, the rights and interests of the Seller under the Financing Order, including the right of the Seller and any Successor or assignee of the Seller to impose, charge, collect and receive Series Charges in an amount necessary to provide for full payment and recovery of all Energy Transition Costs identified in the Financing Order, the right under the Financing Order to obtain True-Up Adjustments of the Series Charges, and all revenue or other proceeds arising out of the rights and interests created under the Financing Order). Such sale, transfer, assignment, setting over and conveyance is hereby expressly stated to be a sale or other absolute transfer and, pursuant to Section 62-18-14(A) of the Energy Transition Act, shall be treated as an absolute transfer and true sale and not as a pledge of or secured transaction relating to the Seller’s right, title, and interest in, to, and under the Series Property. The Seller and the Issuer agree that after giving effect to the sale, transfer, assignment, setting over and conveyance contemplated hereby the Seller has no right, title or interest in, to, or under the Series Property to which a security interest could attach because (i) it has sold, transferred, assigned, set over and conveyed all right, title and interest in and to the Series Property to the Issuer, (ii) as provided in Section 62-18-14 of the Energy Transition Act, all right, title and interest shall have passed to the Issuer and (iii) as provided in Section 62-18-14(B) of the Energy Transition Act, appropriate financing statements have been filed and such transfer is perfected against all third parties, except creditors holding a prior security interest, ownership interest or assignment in the Series Property previously perfected in accordance with Section 62-18-13 of the Energy Transition Act. If such sale, transfer, assignment, setting over and conveyance is held by any court of competent jurisdiction not to be an absolute transfer and true sale as provided in Section 62-18-14(A) of the Energy Transition Act, then such sale, transfer, assignment, setting over and conveyance shall be treated as a pledge of the Series Property and as the creation of a security interest (within the meaning of the Energy Transition Act and the UCC) in the Series Property and, without prejudice to its position that it has absolutely transferred all of its rights in the Series Property to the Issuer, the Seller hereby grants a security interest in the Series Property to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties) to secure their respective rights under the Basic Documents to receive the Series Charges and all other Series Property.

 

The Issuer does hereby purchase the Series Property from the Seller for the consideration set forth in the preceding paragraph.

Each of the Seller and the Issuer acknowledges and agrees that the purchase price for the Series Property sold pursuant to this Bill of Sale and the Sale Agreement is equal to its fair market value at the time of sale.

This Bill of Sale may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

 

This Bill of Sale shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Mexico, without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such law.

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Administration Agreement shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in Appendix A of the Indenture dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the provisions thereof, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, in its capacity as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”), and U.S. Bank National Association, in its capacity as securities intermediary. Not all terms defined in Appendix A of the Indenture are used in this Administration Agreement.

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, the Issuer is issuing Energy Transition Bonds pursuant to the Indenture and the Series Supplement dated the date hereof;

 

WHEREAS, the Issuer has entered into certain agreements in connection with the issuance of Energy Transition Bonds, including (a) the Indenture, (b) the Servicing Agreement, (c) the Sale Agreement and (d) the other Basic Documents to which the Issuer is a party relating to the Energy Transition Bonds;

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Basic Documents, the Issuer is required to perform certain duties in connection with the Basic Documents, the Energy Transition Bonds and the Collateral pledged to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture and Series Supplement dated the date hereof;

 

WHEREAS, the Issuer has no employees, other than its officers and managers, and does not intend to hire any employees, and consequently desires to have the Administrator perform certain of the duties of the Issuer referred to above and to provide such additional services consistent with the terms of this Administration Agreement and the other Basic Documents as the Issuer may from time to time request; and

 

WHEREAS, the Administrator has the capacity to provide the services and the facilities required thereby and is willing to perform such services and provide such facilities for the Issuer on the terms set forth herein;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

Section 1.              Duties of the Administrator; Management Services. The Administrator hereby agrees to provide the following corporate management services to the Issuer and to cause third parties to provide professional services required for or contemplated by such services in accordance with the provisions of this Administration Agreement:

 

1

 

 

(a)            furnish the Issuer with ordinary clerical, bookkeeping and other corporate administrative services necessary and appropriate for the Issuer, including the following services:

 

(i)            maintain at the Premises (as defined below) general accounting records of the Issuer (the “Account Records”), subject to year-end audit, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, separate and apart from its own accounting records, prepare or cause to be prepared such quarterly and annual financial statements as may be necessary or appropriate and arrange for year-end audits of the Issuer’s financial statements by the Issuer’s independent accountants;

 

(ii)           prepare and, after execution by the Issuer, file with the SEC and any applicable state agencies documents required to be filed by the Issuer with the SEC and any applicable state agencies, including periodic reports required to be filed under the Exchange Act;

 

(iii)          prepare for execution by the Issuer and cause to be filed such income, franchise or other tax returns of the Issuer as shall be required to be filed by applicable law (the “Tax Returns”) and cause to be paid on behalf of the Issuer from the Issuer’s funds any taxes required to be paid by the Issuer under applicable law;

 

(iv)         prepare or cause to be prepared for execution by the Issuer’s Managers minutes of the meetings of the Issuer’s Managers and such other documents deemed appropriate by the Issuer to maintain the separate limited liability company existence and good standing of the Issuer (the “Company Minutes”) or otherwise required under the Basic Documents (together with the Account Records, the Tax Returns, the Company Minutes, the LLC Agreement and the Certificate of Formation, the “Issuer Documents”) and any other documents deliverable by the Issuer thereunder or in connection therewith; and

 

(v)          hold, maintain and preserve at the Premises (or such other place as shall be required by any of the Basic Documents) executed copies (to the extent applicable) of the Issuer Documents and other documents executed by the Issuer thereunder or in connection therewith;

 

(b)            take such actions on behalf of the Issuer as are necessary or desirable for the Issuer to keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware and obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which it becomes necessary to be so qualified;

 

(c)            take such actions on the behalf of the Issuer as are necessary for the issuance and delivery of Energy Transition Bonds;

 

(d)            provide for the performance by the Issuer of its obligations under each of the Basic Documents, and prepare, or cause to be prepared, all documents, reports, filings, instruments, notices, certificates and opinions that it shall be the duty of the Issuer to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to the Basic Documents;

 

(e)            to the full extent allowable under applicable law, enforce each of the rights of the Issuer under the Basic Documents, at the direction of the Indenture Trustee;

2

 

 

(g)            provide office space (the “Premises”) for the Issuer and such reasonable ancillary services as are necessary to carry out the obligations of the Administrator hereunder, including telecopying, duplicating and word processing services;

 

(h)            undertake such other administrative services as may be appropriate, necessary or requested by the Issuer;

In performing its duties hereunder, the Administrator shall use the same degree of care and diligence that the Administrator exercises with respect to performing such duties for its own account and, if applicable, for others.

 

Section 2.              Compensation. As compensation for the performance of the Administrator’s obligations under this Administration Agreement (including the compensation of Persons serving as Manager(s), other than the Independent Manager(s), and officers of the Issuer, but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the performance by PNM of its obligations in its capacity as Servicer), the Administrator shall be entitled to $50,000 annually (the “Administration Fee”), payable by the Issuer in full on the first Payment Date following the issuance of the Energy Transition Bonds and every second Payment Date thereafter.

Section 3.              Third Party Services. Any services required for or contemplated by the performance of the above-referenced services by the Administrator to be provided by unaffiliated third parties (including independent accountants’ fees and counsel fees) may, if provided for or otherwise contemplated by a Financing Order and if the Issuer deems it necessary or desirable, be arranged by the Issuer or by the Administrator at the direction (which may be general or specific) of the Issuer. Costs and expenses associated with the contracting for such third-party professional services may be paid directly by the Issuer or paid by the Administrator and reimbursed by the Issuer in accordance with Section 2, or otherwise as the Administrator and the Issuer may mutually arrange.

 

Section 4.              Additional Information to be Furnished to the Issuer. The Administrator shall furnish to the Issuer from time to time such additional information regarding the Collateral or the Collateral, as applicable, and as the Issuer shall reasonably request.

 

Section 5.              Independence of the Administrator. For all purposes of this Administration Agreement, the Administrator shall be an independent contractor and shall not be subject to the supervision of the Issuer with respect to the manner in which it accomplishes the performance of its obligations hereunder. Unless expressly authorized by the Issuer, the Administrator shall have no authority, and shall not hold itself out as having the authority, to act for or represent the Issuer in any way and shall not otherwise be deemed an agent of the Issuer.

 

3

 

 

Section 6.              No Joint Venture. Nothing contained in this Administration Agreement (a) shall constitute the Administrator and the Issuer as partners or co-members of any partnership, joint venture, association, syndicate, unincorporated business or other separate entity, (b) shall be construed to impose any liability as such on either of them or (c) shall be deemed to confer on either of them any express, implied or apparent authority to incur any obligation or liability on behalf of the other.

 

Section 7.              Other Activities of Administrator. Nothing herein shall prevent the Administrator or any of its members, managers, officers, employees or Affiliates from engaging in other businesses or, in its sole discretion, from acting in a similar capacity as an administrator for any other Person even though such Person may engage in business activities similar to those of the Issuer.

 

Section 8.              Term of Agreement; Resignation and Removal of Administrator.

Re:Opinion Concerning Federal Constitutional Issues Pertaining to Energy Transition Bonds, Series A of PNM Energy Transition Bond Company I, LLC

 

Ladies and Gentlemen,

 

We have acted as special counsel for Public Service Company of New Mexico (“PNM”), a New Mexico corporation, and PNM Energy Transition Bond Company I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Issuing Entity” or “SPE”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form SF-1 (File Nos. 333-274433 and 333-274433-01) filed on September 8, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on October 13, 2023, and as amended by Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on October 30, 2023 (together, the “Registration Statement”), by PNM and the Issuing Entity with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the proposed issuance by the Issuing Entity of its Energy Transition Bonds, Series A (the “Bonds”). This opinion letter is being delivered pursuant to Section 9(k) of the Underwriting Agreement, dated as of November 7, 2023 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among the Issuing Entity, PNM and the Underwriters named in Schedule I thereto (the “Underwriters”) for whom RBC Capital Markets, LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. are acting as representatives (the “Representatives”).

 

The Issuing Entity is issuing the Bonds pursuant to the Final Order on Request for Issuance of a Financing Order, Case No. 19-00018-UT (April 1, 2020), which incorporates Recommended Decision on PNM’s Request for Issuance of a Financing Order, Case No. 19-00018-UT (February 21, 2020) (collectively the “Financing Order”) issued pursuant to New Mexico Statutes Annotated § 62-18-5 (2019) and related provisions of the Energy Transition Act, N.M.S.A. 1978 § 62-18-1 (2019) et seq. (the “Energy Transition Act”), by the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (“NMPRC”) providing for the financing of the costs associated with certain energy transition activities (“energy transition costs”) with the proceeds of “energy transition bonds,” as defined and authorized by the Energy Transition Act and Financing Order. We have also reviewed (a) the Order on Remand Adopting Uncontested Stipulation, dated September 21, 2023, issued by the NMPRC (the “2023 NMPRC Order”), which order affirmed, among other things, (1) the validity of the Financing Order and the authorizations and approvals granted to PNM therein, including the Financing Order’s determination of its irrevocability and PNM’s ongoing authority to cause the issuance of up to $360.1 million of energy transition bonds pursuant to the Financing Order, and (2) the non-impairment pledge pursuant to the Financing Order and the Energy Transition Act, (b) the Agreement for Stipulated Dismissal among PNM and the other parties named therein and filed with the New Mexico Supreme Court on September 22, 2023 (the "Stipulated Dismissal") and (c) the Order of the New Mexico Supreme Court dated November 14, 2023 granting the Stipulated Dismissal.

Consistent with the Energy Transition Act, the Financing Order authorizes the formation of the Issuing Entity as a special purpose entity solely authorized to engage in the approved financing related activities and for the exclusive purpose of acquiring “energy transition property” and financing such acquisition through issuing “energy transition bonds,” each as defined by the Financing Order and the Energy Transition Act, and performing other activities relating thereto or otherwise authorized by the Financing Order, including receipt of non-bypassable energy transition charges and revenues as defined by and prescribed by the Energy Transition Act and Financing Order and application of those funds to service and retire the energy transition bonds and related expenditures specifically authorized by the Financing Order and the Energy Transition Act. The Energy Transition Act defines energy transition property to mean “the rights and interests of a qualifying utility or an assignee under a financing order, including the right to impose, charge, collect and receive energy transition charges in an amount necessary to provide for full payment and recovery of all energy transition costs identified in the financing order, including all revenues or other proceeds arising from those rights and interests.” N.M.S.A.§ 62-18-2 I (2019). Under the Energy Transition Act, an “energy transition bond” is defined as “a bond or other evidence of indebtedness or ownership that is issued by a qualifying utility or an assignee pursuant to a financing order, the proceeds of which are secured by or payable from energy transition property and that are non-recourse to the qualifying utility.” N.M.S.A.§ 62-18-2 F(2019). The Energy Transition Act also provides that “[a]ll energy transition property created in a financing order shall continue to exist until the energy transition bonds issued and all related financing costs pursuant to a financing order are paid in full.” N.M.S.A. § 62-18-12 B(2019). Further the Energy Transition Act defines an “energy transition charge” to mean “ a non-bypassable charge paid by all customers of a qualifying utility for the recovery of energy transition costs”1 and a “non-bypassable” charge to mean “that the payment of an energy transition charge may not be avoided by an electric service customer located within a utility service area and shall be paid by the customer that receives electric delivery service from the qualifying utility imposing the charge for as long as the energy transition bonds secured by the charge are outstanding and the related financing costs have not been recovered in full.” N.M.S.A. § 62-18-2 G (2019) and N.M.S.A § 62-18-2 P (2019).

 

 

1 N.M.S.A § 62-18-2 H (2019) defines “energy transition cost” to mean “the sum of: 

(1) financing costs; 

(2) abandonment costs, which for a qualifying generating facility shall not exceed the lower of three hundred seventy-five million dollars ($375,000,000) or one hundred fifty percent of the undepreciated investment in a qualifying generating facility being abandoned, as of the date of the abandonment. The abandonment costs subject to this limitation shall include: 

(a) up to thirty million dollars ($30,000,000) per qualifying generating facility in costs not previously collected from the qualifying utility’s customers for plant decommissioning and mine reclamation costs, subject to any limitations ordered by the commission prior to January 1, 2019 and affirmed by the New Mexico supreme court prior to the effective date of the Energy Transition Act, associated with the abandoned qualifying generating facility; 

(b) up to twenty million dollars ($20,000,000) per qualifying generating facility in costs for severance and job training for employees losing their jobs as a result of an abandoned qualifying generating facility and any associated mine that only services the abandoned qualifying generating facility; 

(c) undepreciated investments as of the date of abandonment on the qualifying utility’s books and records in a qualifying generating facility that were either being recovered in rates as of January 1, 2019 or are otherwise found to be recoverable through a court decision; and

Pursuant to the Financing Order, the Issuing Entity is issuing the Bonds under an indenture, dated as of the date hereof (the “Base Indenture”), among the Issuing Entity, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as securities intermediary (the “Securities Intermediary”), and a series supplement thereto, dated as of the date hereof (together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) among the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Intermediary. Pursuant to an energy transition property purchase and sale agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between PNM and the Issuing Entity, PNM sold, assigned and transferred to the Issuing Entity the energy transition property created pursuant to the Financing Order (the “Energy Transition Property”), which includes the right to impose, collect and receive the non-bypassable energy transition charges authorized in the Financing Order (the “Energy Transition Charges”). Under the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee holds, among other things, the Energy Transition Property as collateral security for the payment of the Bonds. The Financing Order provides that the Bonds are energy transition bonds, the Energy Transition Property is energy transition property, and the Energy Transition Charges are energy transition charges, in each case, within the meaning of the Energy Transition Act.

 

 

(d) other undepreciated investments in a qualifying generating facility incurred to comply with law, whether established by statute, court decision or rule, or necessary to maintain the safe and reliable operation of the qualifying generating facility prior to the facility’s abandonment; 

(3) any other costs required to comply with changes in law enacted after January 1, 2019 incurred by the qualifying utility at the qualifying generating facility; and 

(4) payments required pursuant to Section 16 [62-18-16 N.M.S.A. 1978] of the Energy Transition Act…” 

“Financing costs” are defined by N.M.S.A. § 62-18-2 K (2019) to mean “the cost incurred by the qualifying utility or an assignee to issue and administer energy transition bonds, including: 

(1) payment of the fee authorized pursuant to Subsection L of Section 5 [62-18-5 N.M.S.A. 1978] of the Energy Transition Act; 

(2) principal, interest, acquisition, defeasance and redemption premiums that are payable on energy transition bonds; 

(3) any payment required under an ancillary agreement and any amount required to fund or replenish a reserve account or other account established under any indenture, ancillary agreement or other financing document relating to the energy transition bonds; 

(4) any costs, fees and expenses related to issuing, supporting, repaying, servicing and refunding energy transition bonds, the application for a financing order, including related state board of finance expenses, or obtaining an order approving abandonment of a qualifying generating facility; 

(5) any costs, fees and related expenses incurred relating to any existing secured or unsecured obligation of a qualifying utility or an affiliate of a qualifying utility that are necessary to obtain any consent, release, waiver or approval from any holder of such an obligation to permit a qualifying utility to issue or cause the issuance of energy transition bonds; 

(6) any taxes, fees, charges or other assessments imposed on energy transition bonds; 

(7) preliminary and continuing costs associated with subsequent financing; and 

(8) any other related costs approved for recovery in the financing order….”

The Financing Order finds that, among the credit enhancements for the Bonds enacted by the Energy Transition Act, the State of New Mexico has pledged, for the benefit and protection of bondholders, that it will not take or permit any action that would impair the value of energy transition property, or, except for the above-referenced true-up adjustment expressly allowed by the Energy Transition Act, reduce, alter, or impair the energy transition charges to be imposed, collected and remitted to bondholders, until the principal, interest and premium, and any other charges incurred and contracts to be performed in connection with the related energy Transition bonds have been paid and performed in full.

 

Specifically, in Paragraph 41 of the Financing Order the NMPRC found that its Financing Order constitutes a financing order within the meaning of Section 2(L) of the Energy Transition Act, authorizing the issuance of energy transition bonds, the imposition, collection, and periodic adjustments of the energy transition charge, and creating energy transition property all in accordance with the Energy Transition Act. The NMPRC further found its Financing Order complies with the provisions of Section 5 of the Energy Transition Act [N.M.S.A. § 62-18-5(2019)] and gives rise to the rights, interests, obligations and duties as expressed in the Energy Transition Act. The NMPRC further found “ [i]t is the Commission’s express intention to give rise to those [N.M.S.A. § 62-18-5 (2019)] rights, interests, obligations and duties by issuing this Financing Order.” Id.

 

In Paragraph 42 of the Financing Order the NMPRC further found as follows:

 

This Financing Order is irrevocable, and the Commission shall not reduce, impair, postpone or terminate the Energy Transition Charges approved in this Financing Order, the Energy Transition Property or the collection or recovery of energy transition revenues, including recovery of the Ongoing Financing Costs through the Energy Transition Charges.

 

Paragraph 46 of the Financing Order further finds and pledges as follows:

 

In accordance with Section 19 of the [Energy Transition Act], the Commission pledges to and agrees with holders of the Energy Transition Bonds, the SPE and the Indenture Trustee that the Commission shall not take or permit any action that impairs the value of the Energy Transition Property, except as allowed pursuant to Section 6 of the [Energy Transition Act]2, or reduces, alters or impairs Energy Transition Charges that are imposed, collected and remitted for the benefit of the holders of the Energy Transition Bonds, the SPE and the Indenture Trustee, until the entire principal of, interest on and redemption premium on the Energy Transition Bonds, all financing costs and all amounts to be paid to the SPE or a financing party under an ancillary agreement are paid in full and performed in full. The SPE is permitted to include this pledge in the Energy Transition Bonds and any ancillary agreements and documentation related to the issuance and marketing of the Energy Transition Bonds.

 

 

2 Section 6 of the Energy Transition Act, N.M.S.A. § 62-18-6 (2019) provides a procedure for periodic true-ups of the non-bypassable charge to timely collect the authorized energy transition costs. Subsection H provides “[n]o adjustment pursuant to this section, and no proceeding held pursuant to this section, shall affect the irrevocability of the financing order pursuant to Section 7 [62-18-7 NMSA 1978] of the Energy Transition Act.”

The referenced Section 19 of the Energy Transition Act provides as follows:

 

A. The state pledges to and agrees with the bondholders, any assignee and any financing parties that the state shall not take or permit any action that impairs the value of energy transition property, except as allowed pursuant to Section 6 of the Energy Transition Act3, or reduces, alters or impairs energy transition charges that are imposed, collected and remitted for the benefit of the bondholders, any assignee and any financing parties, until the entire principal of, interest on and redemption premium on the energy transition bonds, all financing costs and all amounts to be paid to an assignee or financing party under an ancillary agreement are paid in full and performed in full.

 

B. Any person who issues energy transition bonds is permitted to include the pledge specified in Subsection A of this section in the energy transition bonds, ancillary agreements and documentation related to the issuance and marketing of the energy transition bonds.

 

N.M.S.A. § 62-18-19(2019) (together with Paragraph 46 of the Financing Order, the “State Pledge.”)

 

The Financing Order expressly authorizes the Issuer to include the State Pledge in each of the Bonds, ancillary agreements and documentation relating to the issuance and marketing of the energy transition bonds. The New Mexico Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Energy Transition Act under New Mexico law in State ex rel. Egolf v. N.M. Pub. Regulation Comm'n, 476 P. 3d 896 (N.M. 2020), and affirmed the Financing Order upon judicial review in Citizens for Fair Rates v. N.M. Pub. Regulation Comm'n, 505 P.3d 1138 (N.M. 2022). In the 2023 NMPRC Order, the NMPRC reaffirmed the State Pledge.

 

For the purposes of our opinions herein we assume the Issuing Entity is duly constituted and the relevant transactions described above have occurred in compliance with the Financing Order and the Energy Transition Act, that the Energy Transition Act is valid and that the evidences of indebtedness, securities, and agreements related to the subject financing are duly issued, executed, valid and binding in all pertinent respects.

I.QUESTIONS PRESENTED AND OPINIONS

 

You have requested our opinions as to:

 

(1)       Whether the State Pledge would be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to create a contractual relationship between the State of New Mexico and the holders of the Bonds (the “Bondholders”) for purposes of the “Contract Clause” of the United States Constitution, U.S. Const. art. 1, § 10, cl.1;

 

(2)       whether Bondholders (or the Trustee on their behalf) would be successful in in challenging under the Contract Clause the constitutionality of legislation passed by the New Mexico Legislature (“Legislature”) that becomes law or any action of the NMPRC4 exercising legislative powers (collectively referred to herein as “Legislative Action”) prior to the time that the Bonds and related financing costs are fully paid and discharged that in either case limits, alters, impairs or reduces the value of the Energy Transmission Charges or the Energy Transition Property provided for by the Financing Order;

 

(3)       whether a federal court would grant preliminary injunctive relief or permanent injunctive relief under federal law to prevent implementation of Legislative Action that limits, alters, impairs or reduces the value of the Energy Transition Property or the Energy Transition Charges; and

 

(4)       whether a court of competent jurisdiction would hold, under the “Takings Clause” of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution, U.S. Const. amend. V, as made applicable to the States by the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, U.S. Const. amend. XIV, that the State could not take any action in contravention of the State Pledge without paying just compensation to the Bondholders if doing so (a) constituted a permanent appropriation of the property interest of bondholders in the Bonds or the Energy Transition Property or a denial of all economically beneficial or productive use of the Energy Transition Property; (b) destroyed the Energy Transition Property; or (c) substantially limited, altered, impaired or reduced the value of the Energy Transition Property in a manner that inflicts a severe economic impact on such bondholders and unduly interferes with their reasonable expectations, unless adequate provision shall be made by law for the protection of the bondholders.

 

Based upon our review of the pertinent statutory and constitutional provisions and relevant reported decisions, and subject to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions (including the assumption that any impairment would be substantial) set forth in this letter, it is our opinion that:

 

(1)       a court of competent jurisdiction, in a properly prepared and presented case, would conclude that the State Pledge creates a contractual relationship between the Bondholders and the State for purposes of the Contract Clause;

 

 

4 Each opinion reference to the NMPRC includes any state agency that is a successor to the NMPRC exercising legislative authority (i.e., rulemaking authority).

(2)       a court of competent jurisdiction, in a properly prepared and presented case, would conclude, that, absent a demonstration by the State that a substantial impairment of such contract is reasonable and necessary to further a significant and legitimate public purpose, the Bondholders (or the Trustee acting on their behalf) could successfully challenge under the Contract Clause the constitutionality of Legislative Action subsequently enacted, determined by such court to limit, alter, impair or reduce the value of the Energy Transition Charges, the Energy Transition Property, the Financing Order and all rights thereunder or ownership thereof or security interest therein so as to cause a substantial impairment of the Bond obligations prior to the time that the Bonds and related financing costs are fully paid and discharged;

 

(3)        a court of competent jurisdiction, in a properly prepared and presented case, would conclude that it has the authority and discretion to grant preliminary injunctive relief pending a determination of the merits of the Contract Clause claim, and permanent injunctive relief, and would exercise that discretion in accordance with well-established equitable factors authorizing such relief; although sound and substantial arguments might support the granting of preliminary injunctive relief or permanent injunctive relief to prevent implementation of any law determined to limit, alter, impair or reduce the value of the Energy Transition Charge or the Energy Transition Property in violation of the federal Contract Clause, the decision to do so will be in the discretion of the court requested to take such action, which will be exercised on the basis of the considerations discussed in this opinion letter; and

 

(4)        there are sufficient legal grounds for a court of competent jurisdiction to require the State to pay just compensation to Bondholders if the State’s repeal or amendment in contravention of the State Pledge, after the Bonds are issued but before the Bonds are fully paid, (a) constituted a permanent appropriation of the property interest of bondholders in the Bonds or the Energy Transition Property or a denial of all economically beneficial or productive use of the Energy Transition Property; (b) destroyed the Energy Transition Property; or (c) substantially limited, altered, impaired or reduced the value of the Energy Transition Property in a manner that inflicts a severe economic impact on such bondholders and unduly interferes with their reasonable expectations, unless adequate provision shall be made by law for the protection of the bondholders.

This opinion is limited to the federal laws of the United States of America. Courts apply the Contract Clause and the Takings Clause on a case-by-case basis, applying the pertinent constitutional text and relevant judicial precedent to the specific facts before the courts. A ruling on preliminary or permanent injunctive relief also depends upon the specific facts and circumstances before a court. We further note that we are not aware of any reported controlling judicial precedents that are directly on point. Our analysis therefore necessarily represents a reasoned application of the pertinent constitutional and statutory provisions informed by judicial decisions involving similar or analogous circumstances. Moreover, the application of equitable principles, including the determination whether to grant or deny preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, is subject to the discretion of the court being asked to grant such relief. We cannot predict the facts and circumstances that will be present in the future and may be relevant to the exercise of such discretion or the determination of the merits. Our opinion is neither a guarantee of the outcome nor a recommendation as to the forum5 or form of relief to seek. The recipients of this letter should take these considerations into account in analyzing the risks associated with the subject transaction.

 

II.ANALYSIS OF THE CONTRACT CLAUSE

 

The Contract Clause of the United States Constitution (“[n]o State shall . . . pass any . . . Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts”)6 restricts the power of States to disrupt contractual arrangements if (1) the state law operates as a substantial impairment of a contractual relationship and (2) the state law is not drawn in an appropriate and reasonable way that advances “significant and legitimate public purpose.” Sveen v. Melin, ___ U.S. ___, 138 S. Ct. 1815, 1821–22 (2018) (quoting Energy Reserves Grp., Inc. v. Kansas Power & Light Co., 459 U.S. 400, 411–12 (1983)); see also United States Trust Co. v. New Jersey, 431 U.S. 1, 15, 21–22 (1977)(“U.S. Trust”).7

 

A. Substantial State Law Impairment of a Contractual Obligation

 

The United States Supreme Court addresses the question of whether state Legislative Action results in a substantial state law impairment of contractual obligations in terms of three elements: whether there was a contract, whether a change in state law has impaired contractual obligations, and whether the impairment is substantial. See General Motors Corp. v. Romein, 503 U.S. 181, 186 (1992); see also Energy Reserves Grp., 459 U.S. at 410; Allied Structural Steel Co. v. Spannaus, 438 U.S. 234, 244 (1978); In Re Walker, 959 F.2d.894,899 (10th Cir. 1992). 8.

 

1. Contractual Relationship between Bondholders and the State of New Mexico

 

Whether a contractual relationship and resulting obligations exists within the meaning of the Contract Clause is a federal question to be determined in accordance with judicially established standards. General Motors Corp. v. Romein, 503 U.S. 181, 187 (1992); Irving Trust Co. v. Day, 314 U.S. 556, 561 (1942); Indiana ex rel. Anderson v. Brand, 303 U.S. 95, 100 (1938); Appelby v. City of New York, 241 U.S. 364, 380 (1926).

 

 

5 The “Supremacy Clause” of the United States Constitution, U.S. Const., art. VI, cl. 2, requires state courts to apply the United States Constitution to matters arising under their jurisdiction. See, e.g., Testa v. Katt, 330 U.S. 386, 394 (1947). With respect to the availability of injunctive relief, our opinion solely addresses the standards applied by federal courts. We express no opinion as to the preferable forum.

 

6 U. S. Const., art. I, § 10, cl. 1 provides in full: “No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.”

 

7 Energy Reserves Group states the required analysis as having three elements: whether the legislative action operates as a substantial impairment of a contractual relationship; if so, then whether the legislative action is justified by a significant and legitimate public purpose; and, if so, whether the adjustment of the rights and responsibilities of the contracting parties is reasonable and appropriate to the public purpose behind the legislative action. 459 U.S. at 411–12; Stillman v. Teachers Ins. & Annuity Ass'n College Ret. Equities Fund, 343 F.3d 1311,1321 (10th Cir. 2003); In Re Walker, 959 F.2d. 894, 899 (10th Cir. 1992). Our opinion addresses each of these elements. Whether articulated as a three-part or two-part test, however, the substance of the inquiry is the same. Melendez v. City of New York, 16 F.4th 992, 1031 (2d Cir. 2021).

 

8 The United States District Court in New Mexico is located within the geographic boundary of the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, whose decisions are considered controlling precedent within that circuit.

Although the deliberations resulting in inclusion of the Contract Clause in the Constitution reflect disapproval of state laws absolving debts incurred during the Revolutionary War, the scope of the Contract Clause extends to all contracts, including contracts between private parties and contracts between a state and private parties. See U.S. Trust, 431 U.S. at 15. See also Trs. of Dartmouth College v. Woodward, 17 U.S. (4 Wheat.) 518, 651 (1819); Fletcher v. Peck, 10 U.S. (6 Cranch) 87, 137–139 (1810); Sveen, 138 S.Ct. at 1821; Keystone Bituminous Coal Assn. v. DeBenedictis, 480 U.S. 470, 502–503 (1987); Allied Structural Steel, 438 U.S. at 244–245, n. 16.

 

The Supreme Court recognizes that the fundamental purpose of the Contract Clause is “to encourage trade and credit by promoting confidence in the stability of contractual obligations. . . .” U.S. Trust, 431 U.S. at 15 (citing Home Building & Loan Ass’n v. Blaisdell, 290 U.S. 398, 427–28 (1934)). A unilateral expectation arising from state law does not result in a contractual obligation protected by the Contract Clause against changes in state law. Id. at 22. In General Motors Corp. v. Romein, an employer won a hard fought appeal concerning the proper construction of an employee benefits coordination law in state court only to have the state legislature amend the statute. 503 U.S. 181, 187 (1992). The Supreme Court found the state never to have made a contractual commitment to employers to refrain from changing the law. Id. at 187. Because state legislatures generally enact laws to establish policy, the enactment of a contractual commitment is unusual and will not be implied. Nat’l R. Passenger Corp. v. Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe R. Co., 470 U.S. 451, 466 (1985). Despite the “principal function of a legislature” being “to make laws which declare the policy of the state and are subject to repeal,” nevertheless a “legislative enactment may contain provisions which, when accepted as the basis of action by individuals, become contracts.” Anderson, 303 U.S. at 100. For legislation to create a contractual obligation between the state and private parties, the legislation must include an adequate expression of an actual intent to create a contractual obligation. Nat’l Rail Passenger, 470 U.S. at 467–68.

 

Thus, for example, statutes establishing tenure of public school teachers typically express a legislative policy which the legislature is free to change without consequence under the Contract Clause.9 In Anderson, however, the State of Indiana enacted state teacher tenure laws committing to employment terms in express contractual language, and, accordingly, those commitments have been protected from substantial impairment by federal courts applying the Contract Clause. 303 U.S. at 100. With respect to the legal standard to find the existence of a legislated contractual obligation, U.S. Trust provides the following guidance: “In general, a statute is itself treated as a contract when the language and circumstances evince a legislative intent to create private rights of a contractual nature enforceable against the State.” 431 U.S. at 18, n 14.

 

 

9 Phelps v. Bd. of Educ. of West N.Y., 300 U.S. 319, 323 (1937), is an example of a tenure statute that merely enacted a policy subject to legislative revision.

The Energy Transition Act includes an express statement of the intent of the State of New Mexico to create an obligation to refrain from impairment of security for the Bonds:

 

A. The state pledges to and agrees with the bondholders, any assignee and any financing parties that the state shall not take or permit any action that impairs the value of energy transition property, except as allowed pursuant to Section 6 of the Energy Transition Act10, or reduces, alters or impairs energy transition charges that are imposed, collected and remitted for the benefit of the bondholders, any assignee and any financing parties, until the entire principal of, interest on and redemption premium on the energy transition bonds, all financing costs and all amounts to be paid to an assignee or financing party under an ancillary agreement are paid in full and performed in full.

 

B. Any person who issues energy transition bonds is permitted to include the pledge specified in Subsection A of this section in the energy transition bonds, ancillary agreements and documentation related to the issuance and marketing of the energy transition bonds.

 

N.M.S.A. § 62-18-19(2019).

 

The foregoing commitments are further affirmed in Paragraphs 42 and 46 of the Financing Order, and are reaffirmed in the 2023 NMPRC Order. Although the statutory and NMPRC commitments constituting the State Pledge does not use the term “contract” it expresses an equivalent formal commitment to be bound with respect to obligations incurred pursuant to the Energy Transaction Act and the Financing Order. A “pledge” in this context is “a binding promise or agreement to do or forbear.” Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary 882 (G.C. Merriam Co., 1975). The State Pledge is similar to the language in issue in U.S. Trust. In U.S. Trust, port authority financing legislation enacted by New York and New Jersey provided that the two states “covenant and agree with each other and with the holders of any affected bonds” that the Port Authority would not “apply any of the . . . revenues or reserves . . . pledged in whole or in part as security for such bonds, for any railroad purposes whatsoever other than permitted purposes hereinafter set forth.” 431 U.S. at 9–10. The Supreme Court found “[t]he intent to make a contract is clear from the statutory language: ‘The 2 States covenant and agree with each other and with the holders of any affected bonds. . . .’” Id. at 18. The intent to make a contract is no less clear from the language of the State Pledge. The term “covenant” used in the legislation U.S. Trust addressed has the same signification and meaning as the term “pledge” in the State Pledge: a “binding agreement.” Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary 262 (G.C. Merriam Co., 1975).

 

 

10 N.M.S.A. § 62-18-6 (2019). See note 2, supra.

The State Pledge also serves the same contractual function as part of the consideration or quid pro quo for investment as did the states’ covenant in U.S. Trust. Both induce investment on favorable terms in return for the states’ express undertakings and are examples of legislative enactments containing provisions which, “when accepted as the basis of action by individuals, become contracts.” Anderson, 303 U.S. at 100. The operative language in the Energy Transition Act is as follows: “[t]he state pledges to and agrees with the bondholders, any assignee and any financing parties ….” N.M.S.A. § 62-18-19 A (2019). Through N.M.S.A.§ 16-18-2 B(12), the Energy Transition Act requires a commitment by the utility to undertake to achieve financing of the energy transition costs consistent with a “lowest cost objective”─ “that the structuring, marketing and pricing of energy transition bonds results in the lowest energy transition charges consistent with prevailing market conditions at the time of pricing of energy transition bonds and the structure and terms of energy transition bonds approved pursuant to the financing order.” N.M.S.A.§ 62-18-2 N. See also N.M.S.A. § 62-18-4 B(5) (qualified securities firm documenting proposed financing “satisfies the current published AAA rating or equivalent rating criteria”). U.S. Trust found the function of the states’ covenant was to secure “marketability of Port Authority bonds.” 431 U.S.at 18. The State Pledge serves the substantially same function as the states’ covenant in U.S. Trust of contributing to the marketability of the bonds through providing security of payment. Id. at 19.

 

U.S. Trust and precedent following it indicate a court will find the relevant New Mexico statutory provisions sufficient to create a contractual relationship between the Bondholders and the State of New Mexico. Shortly after U. S. Trust was decided, the New York Court of Appeals relied upon the decision to apply the Contract Clause to invalidate a state statute revoking an authorized toll increase and imposing a new restrictive procedure for toll increases because New York had enacted a statutory pledge not to interfere with authorized toll increases and not to limit or alter the rights vested in the authority to the detriment of bondholders. Patterson v. Carey, 363 N.E. 2d 1146, 1152–53 (1977). In Patterson, the tolls were the sole source of revenue for repayment of the bonds issued to finance the highway, consistent with the Energy Transition Property and Energy Transition Charges serving as the sole source of repayment for the Bonds. Id. at 1150–51. Although a decision of the New York Court of Appeals is only persuasive authority, the decision of the State of New Mexico to enact a statutory structure and state pledge language similar to prominent examples previously found to create a contractual obligation “evince[s] a legislative intent to create private rights of a contractual nature enforceable against the State,” U.S. Trust, 431 U.S. at 17–18, and provides “an adequate expression of an actual intent” to enter into a contractual relationship with Bondholders. Nat’l R. Passenger, 470 U.S. at 467–68 (quoting Wis. & Mich. R. Co. v. Powers, 191 U.S. 379, 386–87(1903)).

 

In reaching our opinion concerning the existence of a contract under the Contract Clause, we have considered the “reserved powers” doctrine. That doctrine concerns alleged contracts where the state purportedly binds itself to waive inherent attributes of its sovereign status, including the ability to exercise the power of eminent domain and the authority to exercise its legislative authority to enact laws for the public health, safety, and welfare (the “police power” of the state). A state contract purporting to contract away the state’s reserved powers is void. U.S. Trust, 431 U.S. at 23.

 

 

 

 

Page 12

 

 

 

In U.S. Trust the Court considered the scope of the “reserved powers” doctrine and held the doctrine does not prevent a state government from entering into binding financial obligations such as the covenant restricting the use of bond proceeds in order to preserve liquidity and bondholder security: “Whatever the propriety of a State's binding itself to a future course of conduct in other contexts, the power to enter into effective financial contracts cannot be questioned.” Id. at 24.

 

The State Pledge serves to protect investment in bonds issued by a private special purpose entity, not a state political subdivision, authority or agency. But the Bonds are only issued when approved by the state in accordance with statutory standards designed to advance a public goal through funding Energy Transition Costs contingent on the abandonment of substantial interests in coal-fired generation in furtherance of the State of New Mexico’s furtherance of energy transition and mitigation of adverse environmental and social impacts of the coal-fired power plant abandonment furthering the energy transition in New Mexico. See N.M.S.A § 62-18-2 H(2) (2019), quoted at n. 1, supra. The Bonds are issued by a limited special purpose entity existing for the authorized financing purpose only and acting as directed by state law including the Finance Order. Financing Order at 118, Par. 20. In our view, the financial nature of the commitment by the State is the determining factor in the analysis under the police powers, not the nature of the entity that is the debt obligor. See Patterson, 363 N.E. 2d at 1152–53 (public benefit corporation issued debt, not a state agency or political subdivision).

 

A court applying the Contract Clause will likely consider New Mexico’s establishment of a self-liquidating Energy Transition Cost financing mechanism assured by the State Pledge to intrude no more on the state’s reserved powers, including police power or eminent domain authority, than the statutory financial covenant enforced against repeal by the Supreme Court in U.S. Trust. The protected value of the energy transition property is simply the expected stream of payments to service and retire the bonded debt: “All energy transition property created in a financing order shall continue to exist until the energy transition bonds issued and all related financing costs pursuant to a financing order are paid in full.” N.M.S.A.§ 62-18-12 B (2019). The Energy Transition Charges are designed solely to the end of recovery of those costs. N.M.S.A.§ 62-18-6 (2019). We are of the view that a court would find the State Pledge to be sufficiently analogous to the “purely financial” state promise addressed by U.S. Trust so that it “may not be said automatically to fall within the reserved powers that cannot be contracted away . . . and thus not necessarily a compromise of the State’s reserved powers.” 431 U.S. at 24–25. Based upon its plain meaning and statutory and factual context, the State Pledge satisfies the legal standards of an unmistakably clear and constitutionally permissible contractual commitment by the State no less than the financial covenants at issue in U.S. Trust.11

 

 

11 In order for a federal court to proceed on a complaint it must have jurisdiction over a ripe case or controversy between a plaintiff with standing to sue and a defendant subject to suit. Our Opinion assumes that either Bondholders or their Trustee could establish standing and a ripe case or controversy. We also assume the facts giving rise to the Contract Clause claim and desired relief permit a well-pleaded complaint to establish federal jurisdiction, such as under the general federal question jurisdiction of U.S. District Courts, 28 U.S.C.§ 1331. U.S. ex. rel. Holmes v. Consumers Ins. Group, 279 F. 3d 1245,1249 (10th Cir. 2002). See also Elliott v. Bd. of Sch. Trs. of Madison Consolidated Schs., 876 F. 3d 926, 931-32 (7th Cir. 2017); Lipscomb v. Columbus Mun. Separate Sch. Dist., 269 F.3d 494, 512 (5th Cir 2001) (finding federal question jurisdiction).

2. A Change in State Law Impairing a Contractual Obligation

 

In Blaisdell, the Supreme Court summarized the standard for finding a change in state law to constitute an impairment of the obligations of a contract, stating that “the obligations of a contract are impaired by a law which renders them invalid, or releases or extinguishes them” and also by “laws which without destroying contracts derogate from substantial contractual rights.” Blaisdell, 290 U.S. at 431–32 (citations omitted). The Court noted various outcomes when the change in law modified or eliminated a specific contractual remedy. Blaisdell at Id. at 432–33. The question of whether a challenged Legislative Action will be found to impair a contractual obligation necessarily will turn upon the extent the specific Legislative Action is inconsistent with the State Pledge and the provisions of the Energy Transition Act incorporated within the State Pledge. The example of revocation of covenants providing assurances of payment of bonded obligations referenced in U.S. Trust, discussed supra, and Von Hoffman v. City of Quincy are examples where the question of technical impairment was not in doubt and the court moved quickly to the question of whether it was a substantial impairment. 71 U.S. 531, 554–55 (1867) (finding statutory covenant to exercise municipal taxation power to fund repayment of bonds to create an enforceable obligation protected by the Contracts Clause and finding constitutional impairment by rejecting the use of the characterization of the covenant to increase taxes as a mere remedy and therefore not part of the core contractual bargain); U.S. Trust, 431 U.S. at 19 (holding the credit support provided by a covenant restricting certain expenditures was not mere surplusage but instead established a substantial contractual obligation).

 

Regardless of the form of the change in law, a claim under the Contract Clause must challenge a law passed after the obligation of the contract in question has been created. General Motors, 503 U.S. at 186 (1992). An alleged misapplication of law existing at the time of entry into the contract presents no basis for a claim under the Contracts Clause. New Orleans Waterworks Co. v. Louisiana Sugar Ref. Co., 125 U.S. 18, 30 (1888) (“[N]ot only must the obligation of a contract have been impaired, but it must have been impaired by a law of the State. The prohibition is aimed at the legislative power of the State, and not at the decisions of its courts, or the acts of administrative or executive boards or officers, or the doings of corporations or individuals.”) The law, however, may issue from an agency of the state such as the NMPRC acting pursuant to delegated legislative authority. Ross v. Oregon, 227 U.S. 150, 162–63 (1913) (citations omitted) (construing Ex Post Facto Clause relying on Contract Clause precedent). A complaint seeking relief under the Contracts Clause based upon a NMPRC decision, as opposed to the Legislature’s passage of an amendment or repeal of the Energy Transition Act, would need to allege that the NMPRC acted in a legislative capacity in substantially impairing the obligations of the Bonds issued subject to the State Pledge, such as by adopting a rule antithetical to the State Pledge, as opposed to making an error of a ministerial nature in carrying out its statutory obligations under the Energy Transition Act. We are not able to opine that the NMPRC’s well defined administrative duties under the Energy Transition Act would constitute legislative activity within the Contract Clause because their purpose is “not to prescribe a new law for the future, but only to apply to a completed transaction laws which were in force at the time.” 227 U.S. at 163.12

 

 

 

 

Page 14

 

 

 

3. Substantial Nature of Impairment

 

In answering the question of whether the Legislative Act causes a substantial impairment of a contractual obligation, the Supreme Court “has considered the extent to which the law undermines the contractual bargain, interferes with a party’s reasonable expectations, and prevents the party from safeguarding or reinstating his rights.” Sveen, 138 S. Ct. at 1821 (citations omitted); see also Allied Structural Steel, 438 U.S. at 244, 246; Texaco, Inc. v. Short, 454 U.S. 516, 531 (1982); El Paso v. Simmons, 379 U.S. 497, 514–15 (1965). As discussed below, where the legislative modification of contractual rights occurs in the context of a regulated industry, such as electric utilities or banks, the Court is less inclined to find a substantial impairment of contractual obligations because the contracting parties accepted from the outset that their contract was subject to the Legislative Action. The Energy Transition Act and Financing Order establish the Issuing Entity solely as a separate trust financing vehicle with no public service or public utility service obligations and without NMPRC regulation or oversight apart from the administration of the statutory provisions in accordance with the Financing Order and the Energy Transition Act. Despite this separation of the financing and payment obligations from utility service and rate regulation, each payor of the Energy Transition Charges is a distribution customer of the regulated utility and the NMPRC retains its jurisdiction over the public utility affiliate of the Issuing Entity. Whether these factors might affect the determination of when certain Legislative Action constitutes a substantial impairment would likely depend on the nature of the Legislative Action, particularly the extent to which it is directed to the Issuing Entity and its obligations subject to the State Pledge, the extent to which it was squarely inconsistent with the State Pledge and its anticipated practical effect upon performance consistent with the State Pledge.

 

In applying the Contract Clause to preserve the statutory security terms of the bonded debt of a state authority against repeal, U.S. Trust recognized, as had Blaisdell, that a substantial impairment can be one that derogates from substantial contract rights, such as security provisions even if the result does not render the creditor’s interest worthless. In U.S. Trust, the effect of the repeal of the covenant limiting subsidies of mass transit was difficult to quantify because the securities recovered much of their price following an initial decline in value and retained an “A” rating. 431 U.S. at 18–19. U.S. Trust distinguished the Port Authority bonds case from circumstances where one form of credit enhancement or statutory creditor remedy is substituted for another credit enhancement or creditor remedy, or a statute permits an insolvent debtor to reorganize with the intent of benefitting creditors and discharging debt obligations. 431 U.S. at 19, n.17, 27–78 (citing Faitoute Iron & Steel Co. v. City of Asbury Park, 316 U.S. 502, 504, 511, 513 (1942)), and found a substantial impairment of concern:

  

 

12 In Grant Trunk W. Ry. Co. v. R.R. Comm’n of Ind., 221 U.S. 400 (1911), the Court rejected a claim challenging a state railroad commission order requiring an interlocking interconnection to further safety of two railroads in accordance with a statute enacted after the railroads had entered into contracts concerning their safety signaling responsibilities and costs. The Court found the orders themselves to have force and effect of law and therefore could be the basis for a complaint based upon an alleged violation of the Contract Clause but found against the railroad plaintiffs on the merits based on the scope of the legislation being beyond the contemplation of the contracts even though each involved safety for their intersecting lines. In dicta, the Court stated that it did not want its ruling to create the impression that a contract of broader scope would have been the basis for an impairment claim based upon a statute mandating a specific cost allocation for a specific safety improvement. This case is distinguishable because it did not involve a non-utility special purpose entity created under state law expressly pledging to preserve a specific form of credit support or cost recovery.

 

 

 

 

Page 15

 

 

 

As a security provision, the covenant was not superfluous; it limited the Port Authority's deficits and thus protected the general reserve fund from depletion. Nor was the covenant merely modified or replaced by an arguably comparable security provision. Its outright repeal totally eliminated an important security provision and thus impaired the obligation of the States' contract.

 

Id. at 19.

 

The determination of whether a particular Legislative Action constitutes a substantial impairment of a particular contract is a fact-intensive analysis, and nothing in this letter expresses any opinion as to how a court would resolve the “substantial impairment” issue with respect to the Financing Order, the Energy Transition Act, or the Bonds, vis-à-vis a particular Legislative Action. Accordingly, we have assumed for purposes of this letter that any impairment resulting from a challenged Legislative Action would be substantial.

 

B.Whether the Law is Drawn in an Appropriate and Reasonable Way that Advances a Significant and Legitimate Public Purpose

 

If the foregoing analysis leads to a conclusion that the state Legislative Action substantially impairs a contractual obligation, the inquiry turns towards the means and ends of the state Legislative Action in order to determine “whether the state law is drawn in an appropriate and reasonable way to advance a significant and legitimate public purpose.” Sveen, 138 S.Ct. at 1821 (quoting Energy Reserves Group, 438 U.S. at 411–412); see also U.S. Trust, 431 U.S. at 22 (Laws “adjusting the rights and responsibilities of contracting parties must be upon reasonable conditions and of a character appropriate to the public purpose justifying its adoption”) U.S. Trust explained why the Contracts Clause provides no absolute protection of contracts from the effects of state legislation as follows:

 

Although the Contract Clause appears literally to proscribe "any" impairment, this Court observed in Blaisdell that "the prohibition is not an absolute one and is not to be read with literal exactness like a mathematical formula." 290 U.S., at 428, 54 S.Ct., at 236. 290 U.S., at 428, 54 S.Ct., at 236.Thus, a finding that there has been a technical impairment is merely a preliminary step in resolving the more difficult question whether that impairment is permitted under the Constitution. In the instant case, as in Blaisdell, we must attempt to reconcile the strictures of the Contract Clause with the "essential attributes of sovereign power," id., at 435, 54 S.Ct. at 239, necessarily reserved by the States to safeguard the welfare of their citizens. Id., at 434-440, 54 S.Ct. at 238-240.

431 U.S. at 21, 25 (“As with laws impairing the obligations of private contracts, an impairment [of a state contract] may be constitutional if it is reasonable and necessary to serve an important public purpose.”)

 

In the Blaisdell decision, the Court upheld a state law instituting an emergency moratorium on mortgage foreclosures during the Great Depression. In finding that the temporary legislative impairment of mortgage foreclosure rights did not violate the Contract Clause, the Court specifically relied upon the state’s residual authority “to safeguard the vital interests of its people” and five additional factors: (1) a state legislative finding of an emergency need to protect homeowners, (2) the challenged law protected a basic societal interest, not a favored group, (3) the relief was appropriately tailored to the emergency that it was designed to meet, (4) the imposed conditions were reasonable, and (5) the legislation was limited to the duration of the emergency. 290 U.S. at 434, 443-447. Subsequent decisions affirmed state legislation of a non-emergency nature modifying private contractual rights based upon proof of a public purpose and the legislative amendment being responsive to that purpose, but on occasion struck down as unconstitutional state laws with a disproportionate adverse effect on creditors. Veix v. Sixth Ward Bldg. & Loan Ass’n, is notable because it upheld a non-emergency statutory revision of the right to redeem savings and loan ownership shares. 310 U.S. 32 (1940). The Court relied upon older authority, which affirmed statutes providing for modification of utility contract rates, and the fact that savings and loan associations had been subject to continuous statutory regulation from the outset of the industry, indicating a heightened role for legislative action and a lower expectation of absolute freedom of contract. Id. None of these decisions addressed an express covenant with the state itself such as is presented by the State Pledge.

 

In U.S. Trust, the Court applied stricter scrutiny to the state law repealing the covenant restricting certain uses of Port Authority revenues, finding that the “the scope of the State's reserved power depends on the nature of the contractual relationship with which the challenged law conflicts.” 431 U.S. at 21–22. The Court found that a stricter test should apply to financial contracts where the state is a party, a conclusion reflecting a strong tendency in Supreme Court decisions to uphold financial covenants in financings sponsored by state government. The decision stated that stricter scrutiny is needed because the state is an interested party and therefore has a fiscal incentive to enact measures to its advantage—a rationale the dissenting opinion questioned, noting the absence of prior authority adopting that rationale. Id. at 59 (Brennan, J., dissenting). The Court has noted that “[i]n almost every case, the Court has held a governmental unit to its contractual obligations when it enters financial or other markets.” Energy Reserves Group, 438 U.S. at 412; see also U.S. Trust, 431 U.S. at 22 (“[T]he Court has regularly held that the States are bound by their debt contracts.”).

In U.S. Trust, involving contracts to which the state was a party, the Court viewed the policy of encouraging mass transit to be (i) a policy that existed prior to the original Port Authority financing act creating the covenant restricting expenditures for mass transportation, (ii) not to constitute an emergency, and (iii) not warranting as reasonably necessary the total repeal of the covenant. U.S. Trust, 431 U.S. at 30–32. The Supreme Court reversed the New Jersey Supreme Court’s ruling finding the repeal of the bond covenant to be an appropriate exercise of the police power, finding it instead to violate the Contract Clause. While we cannot guarantee that the stricter scrutiny applied in U.S. Trust will be applied to Legislative Action in derogation of the pertinent Energy Transition Act provisions here—even absent the full degree of scrutiny U.S. Trust applied to laws impairing the obligations of contracts made by the state supporting state authority financings—U.S. Trust reaffirms that the Contract Clause provides meaningful review of state Legislative Action that substantially impairs the obligations of contracts made by the state under a standard requiring that Legislative Action “adjusting the rights and responsibilities of contracting parties must be upon reasonable conditions and of a character appropriate to the public purpose justifying its adoption.” Id. at 22.

 

Addressing whether a state law enlarging upon private contractual obligations potentially impairs the obligations of those contracts, the Supreme Court applied the Contracts Clause in Allied Structural Steel to invalidate a Minnesota law imposing upon a narrowly defined class of employers’ pension funding obligations, which exceeded the class’s contractual obligations triggered by a plant closure and relocation out-of-state. 438 U.S. at 234. First, the Court found the state law to have an unquestionable impact upon the employer’s contractual relations with its employees and “substantially altered those relationships by superimposing pension obligations upon the company conspicuously beyond those that it had voluntarily agreed to undertake.” Id. at 241. After reaffirming the necessity to apply the Contract Clause in light of the reserved police powers of the State, the Court reaffirmed the general standard of review of Legislative Action articulated in U.S. Trust:

 

Despite the customary deference courts give to state laws directed to social and economic problems, [legislation] adjusting the rights and responsibilities of contracting parties must be upon reasonable conditions and of a character appropriate to the public purpose justifying its adoption.

 

Id. at 243 (quoting U.S. Trust, 431 U.S. at 22.)13

 

Allied Structural Steel then explained the effect of the significance of impairment upon the standard of review as follows

 

The severity of the impairment measures the height of the hurdle the state legislation must clear. Minimal alteration of contractual obligations may end the inquiry at its first stage. Severe impairment, on the other hand, will push the inquiry to a careful examination of the nature and purpose of the state legislation. The severity of an impairment of contractual obligations can be measured by the factors that reflect the high value the Framers placed on the protection of private contracts. Contracts enable individuals to order their personal and business affairs according to their particular needs and interests. Once arranged, those rights and obligations are binding under the law, and the parties are entitled to rely on them.

 

 

13 Allied Structural Steel also noted U.S. Trust applied stricter scrutiny to a state law modifying its own contracts. 438 U.S. at 244, n15.

Id. at 245 (footnote omitted).14

 

In Energy Reserves Group, the Court restated the framework of Contract Clause analysis as first finding whether a new law substantially impairs a contractual relationship, and then ascertaining whether a significant and legitimate public purpose supports the regulation, such as remedying a broad and general social or economic problem in order to assure “that the State is exercising its police power, rather than providing a benefit to special interests.” 459 U.S. at 412 (footnote omitted) (citing U.S. Trust, 431 U.S. at 22; Allied Structural Steel, 438 U.S. at 247, 249). Once the burden of showing a significant and legitimate public purpose is satisfied, the final stage of the analysis follows:

 

Once a legitimate public purpose has been identified, the next inquiry is whether the adjustment of ‘the rights and responsibilities of contracting parties [is based] upon reasonable conditions and [is] of a character appropriate to the public purpose justifying [the legislation's] adoption.” United States Trust Co., 431 U.S., at 22, 97 S. Ct., at 1518. Unless the State itself is a contracting party, see id., at 23, 97 S. Ct., at 1518, … ‘[as] is customary in reviewing economic and social regulation, … courts properly defer to legislative judgment as to the necessity and reasonableness of a particular measure."

 

459 U.S. at 412–13 (footnote omitted) (citing U.S. Trust, 431 U.S. at 22– 23).15

 

 

14 The Supreme Court references El Paso v. Simmons, 379 U.S. 497 (1965), as a case where there was no substantial impairment. Allied Structural Steel, 438 U.S. at 245, n. 14, 17.

 

15 The Court noted the distinction between laws affecting the obligations of purely private contracts and those relieving the state of its contractual obligations as follows: “In United States Trust Co., but not in Allied Structural Steel Co., the State was one of the contracting parties. When a State itself enters into a contract, it cannot simply walk away from its financial obligations. In almost every case, the Court has held a governmental unit to its contractual obligations when it enters financial or other markets.” Energy Reserves Grp., 459 U.S. at 412, n. 14; see also U.S. Trust., 431 U.S., at 25–28; W. B. Worthen Co. v. Kavanaugh, 295 U.S. 56 (1935); Murray v. Charleston, 96 U.S. 432 (1878); but see Faitoute Iron & Steel, 316 U.S. 502 (1942). “When the State is a party to the contract, ‘complete deference to a legislative assessment of reasonableness and necessity is not appropriate because the State's self-interest is at stake.’” Energy Reserves Grp., 459 U.S. at 412, n. 14 (quoting U.S. Trust, 431 U.S. at 26). “In the present case, of course, the stricter standard of United States Trust Co. does not apply because Kansas has not altered its own contractual obligations.” Id. (contrasting Faitoute Iron & Steel, 316 U.S. 502 (1942), which involved a state municipal receivership law applied to an insolvent municipality and found to benefit creditors). In the context of a Due Process Clause claim against the federal government, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals acknowledged the stricter scrutiny of legislation abrogating the government’s own contractual commitments in Sheridan Square Partnership v. United States, 66 F.3d 1105, 1108 (10th Cir. 1995) (“Notwithstanding our usual deference to congressional enactments, we review economic legislation with particular scrutiny when a government attempts to redefine or abrogate its own contractual relationships.”).

Energy Reserves Group did not reach either of the final two steps of this tripartite analysis. Instead, the Court found that the challenged state law restricting the application of price escalation clauses in the context of changing federal energy regulation was not a substantial impairment of contractual obligations. Energy Reserves Group, 459 U.S. at 413–16. The overall intent of the clauses as negotiated was to permit changes in regulated prices to be recognized, not to permit unregulated pricing, and the contracts expressly provided for adjustments reflecting changes in state and federal law. Id. Although expressing a tripartite inquiry, Energy Reserves Group does not undertake to alter previously established substantive standards. Id.

 

Once a substantial impairment of the contractual obligations is shown, the resolution of whether the Contracts Clause prohibits the Legislative Action requires a fact-specific determination predicated upon the nature of the Legislative Action, specifically the public purpose it serves, the materiality and severity of the contractual modification, and how the advancement of the public purpose relates to the modification to contractual rights. In Re Walker, 959 F.2d 894, 899-900 (10th Cir. 1992). If Legislative Action imposes a severe impairment plainly contrary to the State Pledge, substantial authority supports application of stricter judicial scrutiny than would be applied to laws advancing valid public purposes that have a limited, more incidental effect altering the obligations of contracts between private parties.

 

For these reasons and subject to the qualifications and assumptions stated in this letter it is our opinion that a court of competent jurisdiction, in a properly prepared and presented case:

 

(1)       would conclude that the State Pledge creates a contractual relationship between the Bondholders and the State for purposes of the Contract Clause; and

 

(2)       would conclude, absent a demonstration by the State that a substantial impairment is reasonable and necessary to further a significant and legitimate public purpose, the Bondholders (or the Trustee acting on their behalf) could successfully challenge under the Contract Clause the constitutionality of Legislative Action subsequently enacted, determined by such court to limit, alter, impair or reduce the value of the Energy Transition Charges or Energy Transition Property so as to cause a substantial impairment of the Bond obligations prior to the time that the Bonds and related financing costs are fully paid and discharged.

 

III. ANALYSIS OF FEDERAL INJUNCTIVE RELIEF FOR CONTRACT CLAUSE CLAIMS

 

A United States District Court has the authority and discretion to grant preliminary injunctive relief pending a determination of the merits of a Contract Clause claim in accordance with well-established equitable factors authorizing preliminary injunctive relief. The federal district court also has the authority and discretion to grant permanent injunctive relief in accordance with well-established factors authorizing such relief.16 To the extent the State of New Mexico itself is protected by sovereign immunity from an action in federal court for an act in violation of the Contract Clause, any suit for injunctive relief would likely be brought directly against individual state officials. In Ex Parte Young, the U.S. Supreme Court held that a federal court may issue an injunction to compel a state agent’s obedience to federal law. 209 U.S. 123 (1908). Alden v. Maine, 527 U.S. 706 (1999) (confirming continued validity of Ex Parte Young). The application of Ex Parte Young requires a straightforward inquiry into whether the complaint alleges an ongoing violation of federal law and seeks relief properly characterized as prospective (i.e., injunctive relief rather than monetary damages). Verizon Md. Inc. v. Public Serv. Comm'n of Md., 535 U.S. 635, 645 (2002); see also MCI Telecomm. Corp. v. PSC, 216 F.3d 929, 939 (10th 2000); ANR Pipeline Co. v. Lafaver, 150 F3d 1178, 1188-89 (10th Cir. 1998), overruled on other grounds by Hill v. Kemp, 478 F.3d 1236, 1259 (10th Cir.2007).

Turning first to preliminary injunctive relief, the United States Supreme Court requires federal courts to adhere to the principle that a “preliminary injunction is an extraordinary remedy never awarded as of right.” Winter v. NRDC, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 24 (2008). A plaintiff seeking a preliminary injunction must establish likelihood of success on the merits, the likelihood plaintiff will suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief, that the balance of equities tips in plaintiff’s favor, and that an injunction is in the public interest. Id. at 20.17 See also Otero Savings & Loan Ass'n v. Federal Reserve Bank, 665 F.2d 275, 278 (10th Cir. 1981). In determining whether to issue a preliminary injunction the court must balance the competing claims of injury and must consider the effect on each party of the granting or withholding of the requested relief. Winter, 555 U.S. at 24. See also Mrs. Fields Franchising, LLC v. MFGPC, 941 F. 3d 1221,1232 (10th Cir. 2019). In accord with Winter, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals has repeatedly affirmed a preliminary injunction remedy is an extraordinary remedy, not granted as of right and the exception, rather than the rule. Harmon v. City of Norman, 981 F.3d 1146 (10th Cir. 2020). See also Citizen Band Potawatomi Indian Tribe v. Enter. Mgmt. Consultants, Inc., 883 F2d 886,888 (10th Cir. 1988).

 

As Winter confirmed, securing a preliminary injunction restraining the effectiveness of Legislative Action alleged to substantially impair contractual obligations will require the plaintiffs to demonstrate a likelihood of success on the merits. 555 U.S. at 20; see also Denver Homeless out Loud v. Denver, 32 F.4th 1259, 1277 (10th Cir. 2022); Petersen v. Kunkel, 492 F. Supp. 3d 1183, 1192 (D.N. Mex. 2020). The plaintiffs would need to demonstrate that they had standing to proceed based upon actual or threatened injury proximately resulting from the alleged impairment of a vested contractual right. Dodge v. Bd. of Educ., 5 N.E.2d 84, 86, 88 (1936), aff’d 302 U.S. 74 (1937). In Exxon Corp. v. Eagerton, the claim failed because the plaintiffs were not beneficiaries of the allegedly impaired obligation. 462 U.S. 176, 187–89 (1983).

 

 

16 Federal law would govern an action for injunctive relief brought in a federal court. Applicable state law would govern an action for injunctive relief brought in a state court. Our opinion is limited to federal law and thus is limited to an action for injunctive relief brought in a federal court with respect to a claim under the Contract Clause. 

17 As applied in the 10th Circuit, the movant must carry its burden of proof for each of the four requirements for a preliminary injunction: (1) the movant is substantially likely to succeed on the merits; (2) the movant will suffer irreparable injury if the injunction is denied; (3) the movant’s threatened injury outweighs the injury the opposing party will suffer under the injunction; and (4) the injunction would not be adverse to the public interest. E.g., New Mexico Dep’t of Fish & Game vs. U.S. Dep’t of the Interior, 854 F.3d 1236, 1245-46 (10th Cir. 2017); Diné Citizens Against Ruining Our Env’t v. Jewell, 839 F.3d 1276, 1282 (10th Cir. 2016).

 

 

 

 

Page 21

 

 

 

Plaintiffs would also need to allege the threatened injury resulted from Legislative Action. Barrows v. Jackson, 346 U.S. 249, 260 (1953) (The Contract Clause “is directed against legislative action only.").

 

Within the federal judicial system injunctive relief is always predicated upon showing a threat of irreparable harm and an absence of adequate legal remedies. Winter, 555 U.S. at 20; Beacon Theaters v. Westover, 359 U.S. 500, 506–07 (1959). An injury generally is not irreparable if compensatory relief (i.e., money damages) would be adequate. E.g., Tri-State Generation & Transmission Ass’n, Inc. v. Shoshone River Power, Inc., 805 F.2d 351, 355 (10th Cir. 1986). But absent a State waiver of immunity, money damages would be unavailable to redress the harm to Holders from the Legislative Action, supporting the inadequacy of relief available in a federal court.18 In such a case, the plaintiffs may be able readily to demonstrate not just a delay in receipt of interest payments until a final judgment, but the absence of any legal remedy (i.e., damages),19 and therefore irreparable harm, because the Eleventh Amendment generally prevents federal courts from imposing remedies that impinge on state treasuries absent a waiver of sovereign immunity. Virginia Office for Prot. & Advocacy v. Stewart, 563 U.S. 247, 253–54 (2011); Hans v. Louisiana, 134 U.S. 1, 20 (1890). If sovereign immunity were not a bar to monetary damages, depending on the nature of the State’s action in violation of the State Pledge, the availability of an adequate remedy at law may be limited by the difficulty in calculating damages.20 The remaining equitable factors affecting the appropriateness of preliminary injunctive relief are highly fact specific, turning upon the facts and circumstances of the specific Legislative Action, its practical effect and the practical effect of either granting or not granting preliminary relief.

 

 

18 But see, e.g., Roland Mach. Co. v. Dresser Indus., Inc., 749 F.2d 380, 386 (7th Cir. 1984) (holding that a delay in receipt of scheduled payments until final judgment does not present the type of irreparable harm that a preliminary injunction seeks to prevent, absent countervailing circumstances). 

19 Chamber of Com. of U.S. v. Edmondson, 594 F.3d 742, 756, 770–71 (10th Cir. 2010) (associations’ members were likely to suffer irreparable harm from compliance costs related to state law that might total more than $1,000 per business per year because such costs were unrecoverable as damages due to sovereign immunity); Entergy Nuclear Vt. Yankee, LLC v. Shumlin, 733 F.3d 393, 423 (2d Cir. 2013) (injunction supported in part because money damages unavailable to movant because of state immunity under Eleventh Amendment); KPMG LLP v. United States, 139 Fed.Cl. 533, 537 (Fed. Cl. 2018) (“[a]s a general principle, where plaintiff has no ability to recoup lost profits against the United States, the harm to the plaintiff is irreparable”); E. Bay Sanctuary Covenant v. Biden, 993 F.3d 640, 677 (9th Cir. 2021) (where parties cannot typically recover monetary damages flowing from their injury economic harm can be considered irreparable); Odebrecht Const., Inc. v. Secretary, Florida Dept. of Transp., 715 F3d 1268, 1289 (11th Cir. 2013); Entergy, Arkansas, Inc. v. Nebraska, 210 F3d 887, 899–900 (8th Cir. 2000) (chances for a preliminary injunction may be “heightened” where relief in the form of money damages is barred by the government’s sovereign immunity); but see Black United Fund of N.J., Inc. v. Kean, 763 F.2d 156, 161 (3d Cir. 1985) (“[t]hat the Eleventh Amendment may pose an obstacle to recovery of damages in the federal court does not transform money loss into irreparable injury for equitable purposes”). 

20 See U.S. Trust, 431 U.S. at 19 (“[N]o one can be sure precisely how much financial loss the bondholders suffered” from the repeal of the state pledge.).

 

 

 

 

Page 22

 

 

 

The only difference in the legal standard applicable to permanent injunctive relief and preliminary injunctive relief is permanent injunctive relief requires the plaintiff to prevail on the merits. eBay Inc. v. MercExchange, L.L.C., 547 U.S. 388, 391 (2008).

 

A United States District Court considering a complaint seeking injunctive relief against a NMPRC decision establishing an allegedly unlawful and inadequate Energy Transition Charge based upon the Contracts Clause or Takings Clause would also be required to determine whether the Johnson Act, 28 U.S.C.§ 1342,21 restricts its authority to issue injunctive relief. The Johnson Act restriction only applies to an “order affecting rates chargeable by a public utility and made by a State administrative agency or a rate-making body of a State political subdivision,” and applies only if all its enumerated conditions are satisfied. Alabama Public Serv. Comm’n v. Southern Ry. Corp., 341 U.S. 316, 350 (1951); Williams v. Professional Transp. Inc., 284 F. 3d 607, 612 (4th Cir. 2002).22 Because the state authorized financing resulting in the issuance of the Bonds depends upon securities markets and therefore interstate commerce, an agency order threatening substantial impairment of the contractual obligations pertaining to the Bonds and the State Pledge likely would have a meaningful effect on interstate commerce and accordingly would fail the 28 U.S.C. § 1342(2) condition that “the order does not interfere with interstate commerce” rendering the Johnson Act prohibition of injunctive relief inapplicable. Nucor Corp. v. Nebraska Public Power Dist., 891 F.2d 1343, 1348 (8th Cir. 1989) (applying 28 U.S.C. § 1342(2) to affirm injunctive relief based upon effect on interstate commerce).

 

Because the core intent of the Contract Clause is “to encourage trade and credit by promoting confidence in the stability of contractual relations”23 and the State of New Mexico has by legislation expressly insulated the Bonds from the financial and business risks (including regulatory risks) of the public utility affiliate of the Issuing Entity for the express purpose of relying on financial markets to secure the lowest cost financing feasible for the Bonds, a court will likely find the Johnson Act inapplicable to an injunction restraining state implementation of Legislative Action revoking or otherwise materially inconsistent with the State Pledge provided the other elements essential to equitable relief are demonstrated.

 

 

21 “The district courts shall not enjoin, suspend or restrain the operation of, or compliance with, any order affecting rates chargeable by a public utility and made by a State administrative agency or a rate-making body of a State political subdivision, where: (1) Jurisdiction is based solely on diversity of citizenship or repugnance of the order to the Federal Constitution; and, (2) The order does not interfere with interstate commerce; and, (3) The order has been made after reasonable notice and hearing; and, (4) A plain, speedy and efficient remedy may be had in the courts of such State.” 28 U.S.C.§ 1342.

22 As these authorities hold, if the injunction is directed against state action other than an “order affecting rates chargeable by a public utility and made by a State administrative agency or a rate-making body of a State political subdivision,” the Johnson Act restriction has no applicability. The Issuing Entity provides no public utility services and has been found not to constitute a public utility. Financing Order at 7, 40. Public Service Company of New Mexico’s authority to bill and collect the Energy Transition Charges from its customers is solely in its role as a servicer for the Issuing Entity. Financing Order Par. 19 at 61-62.

23 U.S. Trust, 431 U.S. at 16.

In conclusion, assuming Legislative Action substantially impairing obligations undertaken pursuant to and protected by the Energy Transition Act, coincided with an absence of a waiver of sovereign immunity and the Legislative Action provided no means for monetary compensation for threatened and probable losses24, an established process exists, defined by well-settled legal and equitable standards, for Bondholders (or their Trustee) to bring an action in a federal District Court seeking and, upon satisfying those standards and subject to the equitable discretion of the court, obtaining preliminary and permanent injunctive relief. Although sound and substantial arguments might support the granting of preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent implementation of any law determined to limit, alter, impair or reduce the value of the Energy Transition Charge or the Energy Transition Property in violation of the federal Contract Clause, the decision to do so will be in the discretion of the court requested to take such action, which will be exercised on the basis of the considerations discussed above.

 

For these reasons and subject to the qualifications and assumptions stated in this letter we reach the opinions stated in response to Question 3.

 

III.       TAKINGS CLAUSE ANALYSIS

 

The Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution (“Nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation”) applies to prohibit violative state action through the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Penn Central Transportation Co. v. New York City, 438 U.S. 104, 122 (1978); Chicago, Burlington & Quincy R.R. Co. v. Chicago, 166 U.S. 226, 235–41(1897). Persons may seek relief for violations of the Takings Clause through actions brought in federal court pursuant to the Civil Rights Act 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and 28 U.S.C. § 1343, in addition to general federal question jurisdiction, 28 U.S.C.§ 1331.

 

The purpose of forbidding uncompensated takings of private property for public use25 is “to bar Government from forcing some people alone to bear public burdens which, in all fairness and justice, should be borne by the public as a whole.” Armstrong v. United States, 364 U.S. 40, 49 (1960). While the Takings Clause reads initially as a broad prohibition, its effect is to authorize the federal and state governments to take private property for a public purpose conditioned upon the payment of just compensation. First English Evangelical Lutheran Church v. Los Angeles Cnty., 482 U.S. 304, 316, n.9 (1987) (The Takings Clause “is designed not to limit the governmental interference with property rights per se, but rather to secure compensation in the event of otherwise proper interference amounting to a taking.”)

 

 

24 In the event a waiver of sovereign immunity or another mechanism makes monetary relief available, the ability to demonstrate irreparable harm arising from the need to seek the compensation offered or delay in recovery becomes more problematic and fact dependent.

25 The initial determination of whether a taking is a public use is for the legislature to make, Hawaii Hous. Auth. v. Midkiff, 467 U.S. 229, 239–40 (1984), and federal courts afford substantial deference to these determinations “unless the use be palpably without reasonable foundation.” United States v. Gettysburg Elec. Ry. Co., 160 U.S. 668, 680 (1896); see also Berman v. Parker, 348 U.S. 26, 31–33(1954); Old Dominion Land Co. v. United States, 269 U.S. 55, 66 (1925); Wisconsin Cent.,95 F. 3d at 1367.

 

 

 

 

Page 24

 

 

 

The question of just compensation addresses “what has the owner lost, not what has the taker gained.” Boston Chamber of Com. v. Boston, 217 U.S. 189, 195 (1910). The pecuniary value of the loss is usually gauged by the extent to which the taking deprived the owner of his ownership or dominion interest in his property, measured by the value of the property at the time of the taking. Kirby Forest Indus., Inc. v. United States, 467 U.S. 1, 5 (1984).

 

The Supreme Court recognizes a categorical obligation for the government to compensate a property owner when it imposes a permanent physical invasion of the property. Lingle v. Chevron USA, Inc., 544 U.S. 528, 538 (2005); Loretto v. Teleprompter Manhattan CATV Corp., 458 U.S. 419 (1982). A second categorical requirement for compensation arises when state regulatory impositions completely deprive an owner of “all economically beneficial us[e]” of her property. Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Council, 505 U.S. 1003, 1019 (1992) (emphasis in original). The Court held in Lucas that the government must pay just compensation for such “total regulatory takings,” except to the extent that “background principles of nuisance and property law” independently restrict the owner's intended use of the property. 505 U.S. at 1026–1032.26

 

In additional to tangible property27, the United States Supreme Court has found contract rights and other intangible rights may constitute “property” within the meaning of the Takings Clause. Lynch v. United States, 292 U.S. 571, 579 (1934) (holding valid contracts are property within meaning of the Taking Clause); James v. Campbell, 104 U.S. 356, 358 (1882) (treating government appropriation of patent rights as equivalent to physical taking); see also U.S. Trust, 431 U.S. at 19, n.16. The Energy Transition Act provides that it creates a property right in energy transition property in addition to the contractual rights established for the repayment of indebtedness.28

 

 

26 The Supreme Court has recognized an exception to the requirement of compensation when a taking by the government is necessitated by an imminent emergency requiring immediate government action, including the destruction of physical facilities about to be captured by an enemy, or about to contribute to a fire. United States v. Caltex (Philippines), Inc, 344 U.S. 149, 154 (1952) (destruction required by World War II military necessity to avoid enemy capture and use of strategic facilities foreclosed any requirement of compensation); Bowditch v. Boston, 101 U.S. 16, 18–19 (1879) (invoking common law to find government immunity applies to destroying property to prevent imminent fueling of an ongoing fire). The exception has not been extended to intangible financial property. 

27 The government’s categorical duty under the Fifth Amendment to pay just compensation when it physically takes possession of an interest in property for public use applies to personal as well as real property. Horne v. Department of Agriculture, 576 U.S. 351, 357 (2015) (physical taking of bulk fruit). 

28 The Supreme Court recognizes “[property] interests . . . are not created by the Constitution. Rather, they are created and their dimensions are defined by existing rules or understandings that stem from an independent source such as state law.” Webb's Fabulous Pharmacies, Inc. v. Beckwith, 449 U.S. 155, 161 (1980) (quoting Board of Regents v. Roth, 408 U.S. 564, 577 (1972)) (internal punctuation omitted).

In Pennsylvania Coal Co. v. Mahon, 260 U.S. 393 (1922), the Supreme Court expanded its interpretation of the protection of the Takings Clause to more than direct appropriations of property, holding that compensation was also required for a “regulatory taking,” meaning a government restriction on the use of property that went “too far.” 260 U.S. at 415; see also Lucas, 505 U.S. 1003, 1019 (1992). In Penn Central, the Court explained that the test for when regulatory impositions become a taking, as opposed to merely a change in law that members of the public must accept without compensation, requires an “ad hoc” factual consideration of factors such as the economic impact of the regulation on the affected party, its interference with reasonable investment-backed expectations, and the character of the government action, such as whether the alleged taking amounts to a physical invasion or instead affects property interests through “some public program adjusting the benefits and burdens of economic life to promote the common good.” 434 U.S. at 124. For example, in Connolly v. Pension Benefits Guar. Corp., a new statutory imposition of pension funding obligations adjusting contract rights was found to be the latter and not sufficient to constitute a “taking” of contract rights. 475 U.S. 211, 224 (1986). In Ruckelshaus v. Monsanto Co., when federal regulations imposed a requirement to make trade secrets public as part of pesticide licensing process a claim for a taking could only be made for trade secrets where the applicant had a “distinct investment-backed expectation.” 476 U.S. 986, 1003–1004 (1984).

 

As we have previously opined, certain impairments of the obligations of the State Pledge by Legislative Action may give rise to a claim under the Contracts Clause even though those impairments may affect only certain security arrangements under the affected agreements or the State Pledge. Not every impairment of the obligations of a contract will constitute a taking of property under the Takings Clause, and some regulation that does not constitute a taking within the Takings Clause may nonetheless substantially impair the obligations of a contract.

 

If state action (either legislative change or administrative agency action under color of state law), substantially revokes or alters the Bondholders’ rights under the relevant evidences of indebtedness and related agreements or the rights established by the Energy Transition Financing Statute and protected under the State Pledge so as to either completely deprive Bondholders of all economically beneficial use of the Securitization Property or unduly interfere with the reasonable expectations of the Bondholders arising from their investment in the Bonds, the Bondholders would suffer a taking within the meaning of the Takings Clause under United States Supreme Court precedent. Lingle v. Chevron USA, 544 U.S.528, 538–39 (2005) (reaffirming these legal standards as articulated by Penn Central and Lucas).

 

The courts of New Mexico exercise jurisdiction over claims seeking just compensation from the State of New Mexico for state takings in violation of the Takings Clause. Manning v. Mining and Minerals Division of the Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department, 144 P.3d 87 (N.Mex. 2006). The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals holds federal district courts lack jurisdiction to hear Takings Clause claims for monetary compensation against states, at least when the relevant state makes its courts available to provide monetary relief for takings in violation of the Takings Clause, applying the restriction of federal court jurisdiction imposed by the Eleventh Amendment as construed by Edelman v. Jordan, 415 U.S. 651, 662-63(1974). See Williams v. Utah Department of Corrections, 928 F.3d 1209,1213-14 (10th Cir. 2019) (following other circuit courts of appeals in distinguishing contrary precedent concerning claims not subject to the Eleventh Amendment restriction of federal court authority). Under the foregoing authorities, a New Mexico state court would provide the judicial forum for seeking monetary compensation from the State of New Mexico based on a Takings Clause claim. There can be no assurance, however, that any such award of just compensation would be sufficient to pay the full amount of principal of and interest on the Bonds.

Based upon our review of the pertinent statutory and constitutional provisions and relevant reported decisions, and subject to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions set forth in this letter, it is our opinion that there are sufficient legal grounds for a court of competent jurisdiction, in a properly prepared and presented case to require the State to pay just compensation to Bondholders if the State’s repeal or amendment in contravention of the State Pledge, after the Bonds are issued but before the Bonds are fully paid, (a) constituted a permanent appropriation of the property interest of bondholders in the Bonds or the Energy Transition Property or a denial of all economically beneficial or productive use of the Energy Transition Property; (b) destroyed the Energy Transition Property; or (c) substantially limited, altered, impaired or reduced the value of the Energy Transition Property in a manner that inflicts a severe economic impact on such bondholders and unduly interferes with their reasonable expectations, unless adequate provision shall be made by law for the protection of the bondholders.

Re:Opinion Concerning New Mexico Constitutional Issues Pertaining to Senior Secured Energy Transition Bonds, Series A of PNM Energy Transition Bond Company I, LLC

 

Ladies and Gentlemen,

 

We have acted as New Mexico counsel for Public Service Company of New Mexico (“PNM”), a New Mexico corporation, and PNM Energy Transition Bond Company I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Issuer”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form SF-1 (File Nos. 333-274433 and 333-274433-01) filed on September 8, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on October 13, 2023, and as amended by Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on October 30, 2023, by PNM and the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the proposed issuance by the Issuer of its Senior Secured Energy Transition Bonds, Series A (the “Bonds”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Underwriting Agreement, dated as of November 7, 2023, among PNM, the Issuer and the Underwriters named therein.

 

The Issuer is issuing the Bonds pursuant to the Financing Order1 approved by the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (“Commission”) in NMPRC Case No. 19-00018-UT. The Financing Order was approved by the Commission in accordance with the Energy Transition Act.2 We have also reviewed (a) the Order on Remand Adopting Uncontested Stipulation, dated September 21, 2023, issued by the Commission (the “2023 NMPRC Order”), which affirmed, among other things: (1) the validity of the Financing Order and the authorizations and approvals granted to PNM therein, including the Financing Order’s determination of its irrevocability and PNM’s ongoing authority to cause the issuance of up to $360.1 million of energy transition bonds pursuant to the Financing Order, and (2) the non-impairment pledge pursuant to the Financing Order and the ETA, and (b) the Agreement for Stipulated Dismissal Pursuant to Rule 12-401(B(1), filed with the New Mexico Supreme Court on September 22, 2023, by all parties in Public Serv. Co. of N.M. v. N.M. Pub. Regulation Comm’n, Case No. S-1-SC-39440, involving an appeal of the Commission’s Final Order Adopting Recommended Decision with Additions, Case No. 19-00018-UT (in the Matter of Abandonment of San Juan Generating Station) (June 29, 2022) (“Show Cause Order”). The 2023 NMPRC Order resolved the Show Cause Order and the related appeal in Case No. S-1-SC-39440.

 

 

1 Final Order on Request for Issuance of a Financing Order, Case No. 19-00018-UT (April 1, 2020), approving and adopting Recommended Decision on PNM’s Request for Issuance of a Financing Order, Case No. 19-00018-UT (Feb. 21, 2020) (collectively, “Financing Order”).

PNM and the Issuer have requested that we furnish our opinion to you as to whether, in a properly prepared and presented case:

 

1.             A court of competent jurisdiction applying New Mexico law would conclude:

 

(a) that the State Pledge (as defined below) constitutes a contractual relationship between the bondholders and the State of New Mexico; and

 

(b) under applicable State of New Mexico constitutional principles relating to the impairment of contracts, that, absent a demonstration by the State of New Mexico that a substantial impairment of that contract is reasonable and necessary to further a significant and legitimate public purpose, the bondholders could successfully challenge under the New Mexico contract clause (“Contract Clause”) the constitutionality of legislative action that alters, impairs, or reduces the value of Energy Transition Property or energy transition charges prior to the Bonds and any other costs are fully paid and discharged.;

 

2.             A court of competent jurisdiction applying New Mexico law would conclude that the State of New Mexico would be required to pay just compensation to the bondholders if the State of New Mexico, undertook any action in contravention of the State Pledge that: (a) constituted a permanent appropriation of a substantial property interest of the bondholders in the Bonds or the Energy Transition Property or denied all of or substantially all of the practical use of the Energy Transition Property; (b) destroyed the Energy Transition Property, other than in response to emergency conditions; or (c) substantially altered, impaired or reduced the Energy Transition Property in a manner that inflicts a severe economic impact on such bondholders and unduly interferes with their reasonable expectations, unless adequate provisions were made by law for the protection of bondholders;

 

 

 

 

The persons listed on Exhibit A

3.            A court of competent jurisdiction applying New Mexico law would conclude that: (i) the Energy Transition Act has been duly enacted by the New Mexico legislature in accordance with all applicable laws and is in full force and effect; (ii) the effectiveness or constitutionality of the Energy Transition Act under the Constitution of the State of New Mexico (insofar as it relates to the Bonds and to the subject transaction) was, to the best of our knowledge as of November 15, 2023, not the subject of any pending appeal or litigation (although we cannot assure you that a lawsuit challenging the validity of the Energy Transition Act will not be filed in the future or that, if filed, will not be successful); and (iii) if the constitutionality of the Energy Transition Act were challenged, a New Mexico Court applying New Mexico substantive law would conclude under applicable State of New Mexico constitutional principles that the Energy Transition Act is constitutional; and

 

4.             Any attempt by the State of New Mexico or any agency or instrumentality of the State of New Mexico to repeal or amend the Energy Transition Act or the Financing Order or to take other action in a manner that alters the rights of the bondholders would be subject to a preliminary injunction if a state court in New Mexico hearing a request therefor finds (i) that the party requesting such injunctive relief has a likelihood of success on the merits, (ii) that such party will suffer irreparable harm if the preliminary injunctive relief is not granted, (iii) that no adequate, alternative remedy at law exists and (iv) that the issuance of such injunctive relief would not adversely affect the public interest; further, upon final adjudication of the challenged repeal, amendment or other action, the alleged wrongful conduct would be subject to a permanent injunction if the petitioning party succeeds on the merits and the Court hearing a request therefor makes the findings set forth in clauses (ii) through (iv).

 

5.             A court of competent jurisdiction applying New Mexico law would conclude that the Energy Transition Act is not subject to referendum as provided in Article IV, Section 1 of the New Mexico Constitution.

 

The following provisions of the Energy Transition Act are particularly relevant for the opinions we have been asked to provide:

 

NMSA 1978, § 62-18-19 (2019):

 

A.            The state pledges to and agrees with the bondholders, any assignee and any financing parties that the state shall not take or permit any action that impairs the value of energy transition property, except as allowed pursuant to Section 6 of the Energy Transition Act, or reduces, alters or impairs energy transition charges that are imposed, collected and remitted for the benefit of the bondholders, any assignee and any financing parties, until the entire principal of, interest on and redemption premium on the energy transition bonds, all financing costs and all amounts to be paid to an assignee or financing party under an ancillary agreement are paid in full and performed in full.

 

B.            Any person who issues energy transition bonds is permitted to include the pledge specified in Subsection A of this section in the energy transition bonds, ancillary agreements and documentation related to the issuance and marketing of the energy transition bonds.

The provisions of NMSA 1978, § 62-18-19 (2019) are referred to herein as the “State Pledge.”

 

NMSA 1978, § 62-18-7:

 

A.           A financing order is irrevocable and the commission shall not reduce, impair, postpone or terminate the energy transition charges approved in the financing order, the energy transition property or the collection or recovery of energy transition revenues.

 

NMSA 1978, § 62-18-9 (2019):

 

A.           A financing order shall remain in effect until the energy transition bonds issued pursuant to the financing order and any related financing costs have been paid in full.

 

NMSA 1978, § 62-18-12 (2019):

 

A.           Energy transition property that is created in a financing order shall constitute an existing, present property right, notwithstanding that the imposition and collection of energy transition charges depend on the qualifying utility continuing to provide electric energy or continuing to perform its service functions relating to the collection of energy transition charges or on the level of future energy consumption. Energy transition property shall exist whether or not the energy transition revenues have been billed, have accrued or have been collected and notwithstanding that the value or amount of the energy transition property is dependent on the future provision of electric energy or service to customers by the qualifying utility.

 

B.           All energy transition property created in a financing order shall continue to exist until the energy transition bonds issued and all related financing costs pursuant to a financing order are paid in full.

NMSA 1978, § 62-18-22 (2019):

 

Effective on the date that energy transition bonds are first issued under the Energy Transition Act, if any provision of that act is invalidated, superseded, replaced, repealed or expires for any reason, that occurrence shall not affect the validity of any action allowed pursuant to that act that is taken by the commission, a qualifying utility, an assignee or any other person, a collection agent, a financing party, a bondholder or a party to an ancillary agreement and, to prevent the impairment of energy transition bonds issued or authorized in a financing order issued pursuant to the Energy Transition Act, any such action shall remain in full force and effect with respect to all energy transition bonds issued or authorized in a financing order pursuant to the Energy Transition Act before the date that such provision is held to be invalid or is invalidated, superseded, replaced, repealed or expires for any reason.

 

Based upon our review of the pertinent statutory and constitutional provisions and relevant reported judicial decisions, and subject to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions set forth in this letter, it is our opinion that in a properly prepared and presented case:

 

1.             A court of competent jurisdiction applying New Mexico law would conclude:

 

(a) that the State Pledge constitutes a contractual relationship between the bondholders and the State of New Mexico; and

 

(b) under applicable State of New Mexico constitutional principles relating to the impairment of contracts, that, absent a demonstration by the State of New Mexico that a substantial impairment of that contract is reasonable and necessary to further a significant and legitimate public purpose, the bondholders could successfully challenge under the New Mexico Contract Clause the constitutionality of legislative action that alters, impairs, or reduces the value of energy transition property or energy transition charges prior to the Bonds and any other costs are fully paid and discharged;

 

2.             A court of competent jurisdiction applying New Mexico law would conclude that the State of New Mexico would be required to pay just compensation to the bondholders if the State of New Mexico, undertook any action in contravention of the State Pledge that: (a) constituted a permanent appropriation of a substantial property interest of the bondholders in the Bonds or the Energy Transition Property or denied all of or substantially all of the practical use of the Energy Transition Property; (b) destroyed the Energy Transition Property, other than in response to emergency conditions; or (c) substantially altered, impaired or reduced the Energy Transition Property in a manner that inflicts a severe economic impact on such bondholders and unduly interferes with their reasonable expectations, unless adequate provisions were made by law for the protection of bondholders;

5.            A New Mexico Court would conclude that the Energy Transition Act is not subject to referendum as provided in Article 4, Section 1 of the New Mexico Constitution.

 

I.             THE NEW MEXICO CONTRACT CLAUSE

 

Article II, Section 19 of the New Mexico Constitution provides: “No ex post facto law, bill of attainder nor law impairing the obligation of contracts shall be enacted by the legislature.” In evaluating whether a legislative action violates the New Mexico Contract Clause, New Mexico courts generally will apply the same methodology the United States Supreme Court employs to examine challenges under the federal contract clause. See Los Quatros, Inc. v. State Farm Life Ins. Co., 1990-NMSC-082, ¶¶ 23, 35, 110 N.M. 750, 800 P.2d 184. Where the State is a party to the contract, thus implicating its own self-interest, the court generally will not defer to legislative judgment, as is customary in reviewing economic and social regulation. See U.S. Tr. Co. of N.Y. v. New Jersey, 431 U.S. 1, 22-23 (1977); accord Los Quatros, Inc., 1990-NMSC-082, ¶ 26.

 

 

 

 

The persons listed on Exhibit A

The Court will first determine whether a contractual relationship exists. Whitely v. N.M. State Pers. Bd., 1993-NMSC-019, ¶ 9, 115 N.M. 308, 850 P.2d 1011. If so, the “the threshold inquiry is whether the state law has, in fact, operated as a substantial impairment of [the] contractual relationship.” Los Quatros, Inc., 1990-NMSC-082, ¶ 27 (internal quotation marks and quoted authority omitted).

 

If the answer to the threshold inquiry is that the state regulation does indeed constitute a substantial impairment, the state must have a significant and legitimate public purpose behind the regulation, so that there is some guarantee that the state is exercising its police power, rather than providing a benefit to special interests. Finally, once a legitimate public purpose has been identified, the reviewing court must determine whether the adjustment of the rights and responsibilities of contracting parties is based upon reasonable conditions and is of a character appropriate to the public purpose justifying the legislation’s adoption.

 

Id. ¶ 28 (internal quotation marks, quoted authority, alterations, and citations omitted); see also Temple Baptist Church, Inc. v. City of Albuquerque, 1982-NMSC-055, ¶¶ 43-44, 98 N.M. 138, 646 P.2d 565 (concluding that sign ordinance was legitimate exercise of City’s police power and thus did not unconstitutionally impair the obligation of contract).

 

A.           Existence of a Contractual Relationship

 

“A prerequisite to a finding that a contract obligation is unconstitutionally impaired is proof of the existence of a contract, the benefits of which are somehow denied to the claimant due to the effect of legislation or other governmental action.” Whitely, 1993-NMSC-019, ¶ 9. “Contractual rights are not created by statute unless the language of the statute and the circumstances . . . manifest a legislative intent to create private rights of a contractual nature enforceable against the State.” Id. ¶ 10 (internal quotation marks and quoted authority omitted); see also Pierce v. State, 1996-NMSC-001, ¶ 17, 121 N.M. 212, 910 P.2d 288 (“We will find that a statute confers contractual rights when the language expressly so states, or the statute by clear and unambiguous terms indicates that the State specifically entered into a bargain with a party in fact as found in their language or by implication from other circumstances, as affected by rules of law.” (Internal quotation marks and quoted authority omitted.)). To determine if a contract exists, the court will apply well-known tenets of statutory construction.

 

In addressing issues of statutory interpretation, [the court] must determine and effectuate the intent of the legislature, using the plain language of the statute as the primary indicator of legislative intent. The words of a statute, including terms not statutorily defined, should be given their ordinary meaning absent clear and express legislative intention to the contrary. No part of a statute should be construed so that it is rendered surplusage.

Whitely, 1993-NMSC-019, ¶ 5 (citations omitted). “[The court] will find a contract only where the language is clear and unambiguous, and [the court] will resolve any uncertainty in favor of finding no contract;” the court will “decline to imply private contractual rights enforceable against the State.” Pierce, 1996-NMSC-001, ¶¶ 30, 41. “To do so would play havoc with basic principles of contract law, traditional contract clause analysis and, most importantly, the fundamental legislative prerogative to reserve to itself the implicit power of statutory amendment and modification.” Id. ¶ 41. (Internal quotation marks and quoted authority omitted.).

 

In Hayner v. Board of Commissioners of Dona Ana County, the New Mexico Supreme Court affirmed a writ of mandamus where the petitioner challenged the County’s failure to levy a tax for the purpose of paying wild animal bounties as required by statute. 1924-NMSC-013, ¶¶ 1, 4-5, 29 N.M. 311, 222 P. 657. The Court did not quote the specific statutory language but nonetheless concluded:

 

The Legislature through the sections of the Code above mentioned had offered to pay to every one a certain bounty upon specified wild animals. The animals had been killed, and evidence thereof had been presented to the county clerk of the county as provided by the statute, and certificates of indebtedness had been issued to various persons, to the right of whom the appellee had succeeded, and others similarly situated held such certificates. The offering of this reward and the performance by the various people of the conditions mentioned in the statute constituted a contract between the county of Doña Ana and the respective persons concerned. Thereby vested rights arose between the parties and the county. To allow the repeal of the statute under which these rights became vested to operate to destroy the right would be to impair the obligation of the contract between the parties, and would be violative of the Constitution of the United States (article 1, § 10, cl. 1) as well as section 19 of article 2 of the state Constitution. That such a right may not be taken away by legislation.

 

Id. ¶ 3. The Court stated: “[T]he bounty already earned must be held to be secured against legislative invasion” and that repeal of the statute “cannot be allowed to operate to defeat rights already vested in persons who had performed the conditions mentioned in the statute.” Id. ¶¶ 4-5; see also Rubalcava v. Garst, 1949-NMSC-035, ¶¶ 11-12, 53 N.M. 295, 206 P.2d 1154 (holding that legislation requiring that contracts to make bequests must be written to be enforceable unconstitutionally impaired vested rights in oral contract to make bequest which was fully performed and otherwise enforceable before effective date of legislation).

In contrast, the New Mexico appellate courts have been reluctant to find a contractual relationship in cases regarding employee benefits and the like set forth by statute. See, e.g., Whitely, 1993-NMSC-019, ¶¶ 10-11 (concluding that statute stating that “[a]t the time of transfer, the juvenile probation officers, support staff and chiefs shall retain their current classification and salary” did not create contract). “It is well established that statutes fixing the compensation or terms of public employment are presumed merely to establish public policy subject to legislative revision, and not create contractual or vested rights.” Id. The Court rejected a finding of any continuing right to future accruals of annual leave at previous statutory rates because “[c]ontractual rights are not created by statute unless the language of the statute and the circumstances . . . manifest a legislative intent to create private rights of a contractual nature enforceable against the State.” Id. (Internal quotation marks and citation omitted); see also Pierce, 1996-NMSC-001, ¶ 47 (finding no private rights of retirees to tax exemptions on retirement income after prior tax exemption statute was repealed, on theory that “principal function of a legislature is not to make contracts, but to make laws that establish the policy of the state” (Internal quotation marks and citation omitted.)); Yates v. Hawkins, 1942-NMSC-029, ¶¶ 1, 17-18, 46 N.M. 249, 126 P.2d 476 (concluding no contract existed between State and former land owner after State acquired title for tax delinquency and former land owner did not attempt to redeem during redemption period: “We do not see how there could possibly be a contract between the former owner and the State that could be violated or impaired by the provisions of the 1939 Act. In the passage of the 1937 Tax Act the Legislature said, in effect, that after the State has acquired title the former owner may repurchase the property upon certain terms and conditions. This in itself could not be construed as a contract, but at most simply an offer to the former owner or an act of grace, having none of the essential elements of a binding contract.”)).

 

Section 62-18-19 provides:

 

A.            The state pledges to and agrees with the bondholders, . . . that the state shall not take or permit any action that impairs the value of energy transition property, except as allowed pursuant to Section 6 of the Energy Transition Act, or reduces, alters or impairs energy transition charges that are imposed, collected and remitted for the benefit of the bondholders, any assignee and any financing parties, until the entire principal of, interest on and redemption premium on the energy transition bonds, all financing costs and all amounts to be paid to an assignee or financing party under an ancillary agreement are paid in full and performed in full.

 

B.            Any person who issues energy transition bonds is permitted to include the pledge specified in Subsection A of this section in the energy transition bonds, ancillary agreements and documentation related to the issuance and marketing of the energy transition bonds.

 

While the plain language of the statute does not mention “contract,” the statute contains an express pledge and agreement by the State and its Legislature to forgo legislative action that might impair rights under the ETA “until the entire principal of, interest on and redemption premium on the energy transition bonds, all financing costs and all amounts to be paid to an assignee or financing party under an ancillary agreement are paid in full and performed in full.” Id. Subsection B also contemplates reliance upon this pledge by “[a]ny person who issues energy transition bonds.” Id. This does not appear to be simply an articulation of policy, but rather constitutes a pledge by the State to not impair rights accrued and actions taken under the ETA. As in Hayner, the State’s pledge and the parties’ performance pursuant to the ETA appears to constitute a contract subject to the constitutional prohibition against legislative impairment. 1924-NMSC-013, ¶ 3.

The United States Supreme Court’s analysis in United States Trust Co. of New York supports this construction. 431 U.S. 1 (1977). In that case, the Supreme Court found a clear intent to create a contract in a covenant between New Jersey, New York, and certain bondholders that restricted the ability of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to subsidize rail transportation. 431 U.S. at 18. The statute stated:

 

The 2 States covenant and agree with each other and with the holders of any affected bonds . . . that so long as any of such bonds remain outstanding and unpaid and the holders thereof shall not have given their consent as provided in their contract with the port authority . . . neither the States nor the port authority . . . will apply any of the rentals, tolls, fares, fees, charges, revenues or reserves, which have been or shall be pledged in whole or in part as security for such bonds, for any railroad purposes whatsoever other than permitted purposes hereinafter set forth.

 

Id. at 9-10 (emphasis added). Based on this provision and upon finding that the purpose of the covenant was to invoke the protection of the federal contract clause, the Court had “no doubt” that the covenant represented a contractual obligation of the two States. See id. at 18.

 

Under a plain reading of these two statutes, no material distinction appears between a pledge and a covenant. Section 62-18-19 provides that the State “pledges to and agrees with the bondholders” to refrain from taking certain actions that would impair the energy transition property or charges. It also recognizes that investors will rely on its terms. See § 62-18-19(B). These provisions suggest that the Legislature intended the State Pledge to constitute a contractual commitment. Accordingly, the State has held itself out directly to bondholders as pledging and agreeing not to take any action that impairs the energy transition property or charge and should reasonably anticipate that bondholders and others would rely on that pledge by the State.

 

Additional provisions of the ETA support this conclusion. Section 62-18-7(A) provides that “[a] financing order is irrevocable and the commission shall not reduce, impair, postpone or terminate the energy transition charges approved in the financing order, the energy transition property or the collection or recovery of energy transition revenues.” And such “financing order shall remain in effect until the energy transition bonds issued pursuant to the financing order and any related financing costs have been paid in full.” Section 62-18-9(A). This language mirrors the intent of the State Pledge and extends any limits on the State to the Commission “until the energy transition bonds issued pursuant to the financing order . . . have been paid in full.” Id. Similarly, the “[e]nergy transition property that is created in a financing order shall constitute an existing, present property right . . . [and] shall continue to exist until the energy transition bonds issued and all related financing costs pursuant to a financing order are paid in full.” Section 62-18-12(A), (B). The Legislature further stated:

 

Effective on the date that energy transition bonds are first issued under the Energy Transition Act, if any provision of that act is invalidated, superseded, replaced, repealed or expires for any reason, that occurrence shall not affect the validity of any action allowed pursuant to that act that is taken by the commission, a qualifying utility, an assignee or any other person, a collection agent, a financing party, a bondholder or a party to an ancillary agreement and, to prevent the impairment of energy transition bonds issued or authorized in a financing order issued pursuant to the Energy Transition Act, any such action shall remain in full force and effect with respect to all energy transition bonds issued or authorized in a financing order pursuant to the Energy Transition Act before the date that such provision is held to be invalid or is invalidated, superseded, replaced, repealed or expires for any reason.

 

Section 62-18-22. Together, all of these provisions strongly suggest the State’s intent to be contractually bound by its pledge and to refrain from taking any action that would otherwise impair or infringe upon the Energy Transition Property or energy transition charges.

B.           Existence of a Substantial Impairment

 

If a court determines that a contractual relationship exists, it will evaluate “whether the state law has, in fact, operated as a substantial impairment of [the] contractual relationship.” Los Quatros, Inc., 1990-NMSC-082, ¶ 27 (internal quotation marks and quoted authority omitted); see also id., ¶ 35 (“We see no reason why th[e] evaluation [of a claim under the New Mexico Contract Clause] should be performed using a different approach than that employed by the United States Supreme Court in federal Contract Clauses cases.”). “The severity of the impairment is said to increase the level of scrutiny to which the legislation will be subjected.” Id. (alterations, internal quotation marks, and citations omitted). “[A]n increasingly severe impairment must be justified by an increasingly important public purpose.” Id. ¶ 30. However, even slight impairment could be constitutionally suspect “if there were no legitimate public purpose behind the impairing statute.” Id. (emphasis in original).

 

In Los Quatros, Inc., the New Mexico Supreme Court considered whether a statute stating that “[t]here shall be no enforcement of a prepayment penalty in said mortgages” “unconstitutionally impairs” real property loan contracts that contained pre-payment prohibitions. 1990-NMSC-082, ¶ 1. The Court determined that “at least a significant (and perhaps a substantial) impairment of a contractual relationship” existed. Id. ¶ 29. However, the Court was “not impressed that this frustration of the lender’s expectations is unduly severe, particularly when [it] consider[ed] that the industry here - the banking industry - has long been extensively regulated.” Id. The Court then considered the impairment against the statute’s public purpose, promoting the alienability of land, and found the statute “sufficiently tailored to accomplishment of its purpose to withstand an attack on its constitutionality.” Id. ¶¶ 30-32.

 

The Supreme Court in Hayner, as discussed above, found unconstitutional impairment of a contract when the statute mandating a tax levy was repealed. 1924-NMSC-013, ¶¶ 2-3. This case pre-dates Los Quatros, Inc. by sixty-six years and did not consider questions of public purpose. See id. Rather, the Court found a contract between the county and the persons seeking payment on wild animal bounties and that “vested rights arose between the parties and the county.” Id. ¶ 3; see also Pierce, 1996-NMSC-001, ¶ 17 (“[C]ontractual rights may create a vested right.”).

 

Without a specific legislative action to consider, nothing in this letter can express any opinion as to how a court would rule on whether it would impair the State Pledge. That question is fact specific and would necessarily depend on the precise content of the action.

C.           Balancing Impairment with Public Purpose

 

If the court finds a substantial impairment, it will consider the public purpose of the arguably offending statute and balance the two.

 

If the answer to the threshold inquiry is that the state regulation does indeed constitute a substantial impairment, the state must have a significant and legitimate public purpose behind the regulation, so that there is some guarantee that the state is exercising its police power, rather than providing a benefit to special interests. Finally, once a legitimate public purpose has been identified, the reviewing court must determine whether the adjustment of the rights and responsibilities of contracting parties is based upon reasonable conditions and is of a character appropriate to the public purpose justifying the legislation’s adoption.

 

Los Quatros, Inc., 1990-NMSC-082, ¶ 28 (internal quotation marks, quoted authority, and notation of alterations omitted). Without a public purpose, even legislation that operates as a slight impairment may be constitutionally suspect. See id. ¶ 30. “[A]n increasingly severe impairment must be justified by an increasingly important public purpose.” Id.

 

In Los Quatros, Inc., the Court determined that the public purpose of the statute precluding enforcement of prepayment penalties was the alienability of land, a basic societal interest. See id. ¶ 31. Such purpose was neither insignificant nor illegitimate. See id. Noting New Mexico’s presumption of constitutionality, the Court continued that “as to the existence of reasonable conditions and a character appropriate to the public purpose . . . we think the legislation here is sufficiently tailored to accomplishment of its purpose to withstand an attack on its constitutionality.” Id. ¶ 32.

 

D.           Balancing Test is a Factual Inquiry

 

The balancing of substantial impairment with any proposed public purpose is a factual inquiry, and any outcome of a challenge to legislative action under the New Mexico Contract Clause will depend on the particular facts at issue. See id. ¶ 30. Such balancing

 

necessarily places legislative enactments at the mercy of judges’ views as to the importance of the measures the legislature enacts, but such is the nature of judicial review. If the constitutional prohibition is not to be applied with literal exactness, the fate of legislation must necessarily depend on how the courts perform the often difficult task of balancing the importance of the legislation against the infringement of the interests protected by the Constitution.

Id. (internal quotation marks and quoted authority omitted).

 

No way exists to predict or describe the precise form a future legislative action could take, the circumstances under which it might be enacted, or the public purpose behind its enactment. The form, nature, and facts surrounding litigation that might arise to challenge a legislative action are also unpredictable. Thus, whether a court would determine that a future legislative action would be an unconstitutional impairment of the State Pledge, and whether such a legislative action would be viewed as a reasonable and necessary means to address a legitimate public purpose, cannot reasonably be predicted at this time.

 

E.            Opinion on New Mexico Contract Clause

 

Based on our review of relevant judicial authority, as discussed in this opinion, but subject to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions set forth herein, it is our opinion that in a properly prepared and presented case before a court of competent jurisdiction applying New Mexico law:

 

a.the court would conclude that the State Pledge constitutes a contractual relationship between the bondholders and the State for purposes of the New Mexico Contract Clause; and

 

b.absent a demonstration by the State that a substantial impairment of that contract is reasonable and necessary to further a significant and legitimate public purpose, the bondholders could successfully challenge under the New Mexico Contract Clause the constitutionality of legislative action that alters, impairs, or reduces the value of energy transition property or energy transition charges prior to the Bonds and any other costs are fully paid and discharged.

 

II.           AVAILABILITY OF INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

 

A preliminary or permanent injunction may provide the most effective remedy to foreclose any attempt by the State of New Mexico or any agency or instrumentality of the State to repeal or amend the ETA or the Financing Order or to take other action in a manner that alters, impairs, or reduces the rights of the bondholders in violation of the New Mexico Contract Clause. See Rule 1-066 NMRA. Injunctive relief is an equitable remedy, meaning that the power to grant it “lies within the sound discretion of the trial court.” Wild Horse Observers Ass’n, Inc. v. N.M. Livestock Bd., 2022-NMCA-061, ¶ 33, 519 P.3d 74.

 

Injunctions can be either preliminary or permanent, depending on whether the court grants them at the start of litigation or after a trial on the merits, respectively. See Insure N.M., LLC v. McGonigle, 2000-NMCA-018, ¶ 9, 128 N.M. 611, 995 P.2d 1053. “[A] significant difference [exists] between a preliminary and a permanent injunction that may warrant different considerations by a trial court.” Id. “A preliminary injunction does not determine the merits of the case, nor does it determine controverted facts.” Id. “The object of the preliminary injunction is to preserve the status quo pending the litigation of the merits. This is quite different from finally determining the cause itself.” Id. (internal quotation marks and quoted authority omitted).

 

 

 

 

The persons listed on Exhibit A

To obtain a preliminary injunction, a plaintiff must show that (1) the plaintiff will suffer irreparable injury unless the injunction is granted; (2) the threatened injury outweighs any damage the injunction might cause the defendant; (3) issuance of the injunction will not be adverse to the public’s interest; and (4) there is a substantial likelihood plaintiff will prevail on the merits.

 

LaBalbo v. Hymes, 1993-NMCA-010, ¶ 11, 115 N.M. 314, 850 P.2d 1017; see also Grisham v. Romero, 2021-NMSC-009, ¶¶ 19-20, 483 P.3d 545 (applying these factors to grant of temporary restraining order). “[W]here injunctive relief is the ultimate relief sought, or where such relief is affirmative—not merely a maintenance of the status quo—the plaintiff ‘must satisfy a heightened burden’ of proof,” and therefore must demonstrate these factors “weigh heavily and compellingly” in the movant’s favor. Id. ¶ 20 (internal quotation marks and quoted authority omitted). A district court may enter a permanent injunction as a final judgment after considering additional evidence. Insure N.M., 2000-NMCA-018, ¶ 10.

 

A.Irreparable Harm and Inadequate Remedy at Law

 

“Injunctions are harsh and drastic remedies that should issue only in extreme cases of pressing necessity and only where there is no adequate remedy at law.” Id. ¶ 7 (internal quotation marks, quoted authority, and alterations omitted). “The phrases ‘irreparable injury’ and ‘no adequate and complete remedy at law’ tend to overlap. An injury that is irreparable is without adequate remedy at law.” State ex rel. State Highway & Transp. Dep’t of N.M. v. City of Sunland Park, 2000-NMCA-044, ¶ 19, 129 N.M. 151, 3 P.3d 128. Injunctive relief is not available when money damages are reasonably ascertainable. See Orion Tech. Res., LLC v. Los Alamos Nat’l Sec., LLC, 2012-NMCA-097, ¶¶ 27-33, 287 P.3d 967.

 

To challenge a government action for violating the Contract Clause by altering, impairing, or reducing the rights of the bondholders, an injunction may be available because no other remedy exists at law. In a suit against the government for violating the Contract Clause, the defense of sovereign immunity would likely apply for any claim requesting money damages. A claim for money damages under the Contracts Clause “is barred by sovereign immunity because the Contracts Clause does not provide for claims for money damages.” Manning v. N.M. Mining & Min. Div., 2006-NMSC-027, ¶ 50, 140 N.M. 528, 144 P.3d 87. The New Mexico Supreme Court contrasted Manning to a United States Supreme Court case where the Supreme Court concluded that sovereign immunity does not bar a claim for declaratory judgment, as opposed to money damages. See id. ¶ 50 n.7. Though Manning contemplates the federal constitution Contract Clause, our Supreme Court has indicated that a court should not treat the New Mexico Contract Clause differently. See Los Quatros, Inc., 1990-NMSC-082, ¶ 35 (“[W]e merely hold that federal Contract Clause jurisprudence will, in general, be applicable in determining whether a particular state law violates the Contract Clause of our state Constitution.”). Thus, even if the amount of money damages is reasonably ascertainable with respect to the value of the Bonds, that remedy would be unavailable in a claim for violation of the Contract Clause. Accordingly, no adequate remedy at law for a Contract Clause violation would exist, leaving injunctive relief as a viable alternative.

B.Balance of Equities and Hardships

 

New Mexico courts often rephrase the second and third elements of the grant of a preliminary injunction—the threatened injury to defendants and possible adversity to the public interest—when talking about the grant of a permanent injunction. “In determining whether to grant injunctive relief, a district court must consider a number of factors and balance the equities and hardships.” Wild Horse Observers Ass’n, Inc., 2022-NMCA-061, ¶ 33 (internal quotation marks and quoted authority omitted).

 

Some of these factors include: (1) the character of the interest to be protected; (2) the relative adequacy to the plaintiff of an injunction, when compared to other remedies; (3) interests of third parties; (4) the practicability of granting and enforcing the order; and (5) the relative hardship likely to result to the defendant if granted and to the plaintiff if denied.

 

Id.; see also Allred v. N.M. Dep’t of Transp., 2017-NMCA-019, ¶ 36, 388 P.3d 998.

 

A fact intensive inquiry such as this makes it difficult to predict an outcome from a court. However, any court would likely note the inequity of depriving bondholders of their fairly bargained-for and purchased rights in their securities. Bondholders who contract with the government for the purchase of securities deserve to have their reliance on those securities ultimately fulfilled. At the risk of erasure of those rights without remedy, a court could find that the balance of equities and hardships falls in favor of granting the injunction.

 

C.Likelihood of Success on the Merits

 

The final element for a preliminary injunction requires a “substantial likelihood plaintiff will prevail on the merits.” LaBalbo, 1993-NMCA-010, ¶ 11. This means that the plaintiff must demonstrate that a substantial chance of success exists that the government action satisfies all four elements and, moreover, must demonstrate the factors weigh heavily and compellingly in their favor. See Romero, 2021-NMSC-009, ¶ 22. This heavily fact-dependent determination “lies within the sound discretion of the trial court.” Wild Horse Observers Ass’n, Inc., 2022-NMCA-061, ¶ 33 (internal quotation marks and quoted authorities omitted). These factors could easily weigh heavily in a potential plaintiff’s favor, but this determination is not entirely certain given the broad discretion of the district court in such a matter.

D.Opinion

 

Based on our review of applicable precedent and authority, it is our opinion that sound and substantial arguments would support granting preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent any governmental interference designed to alter, impair, or reduce the value of the energy transition charges, the terms of the indenture or Bonds, or the rights and remedies of the bondholders so as to substantially affect the security of the Bonds. Though such a determination would lie in the discretion of the court, see id., an injured party could still bring a substantially supported claim to vindicate their rights.

 

III.           NEW MEXICO TAKINGS CLAUSE

 

The New Mexico Takings Clause (also referred to herein as the “Takings Clause”) provides: “Private property shall not be taken or damaged for public use without just compensation.” N.M. Const. art. II, § 20. “In evaluating claims under Article II, Section 20, we turn to both state and federal cases for guidance, since our state Constitution provides similar protection to the Takings Clause in Amendment V of the United States Constitution.” State v. Wilson, 2021-NMSC-022, ¶ 25, 489 P.3d 925 (internal quotation marks and quoted authority omitted). “The only difference between [the New Mexico] takings clause and the federal takings clause is the inclusion of the words ‘or damaged’ in the New Mexico Constitution. Although our cases have pointed out that the ‘or damaged’ provision allows compensation when an actual taking has not occurred, our jurisprudence in this area does not materially vary from federal jurisprudence.” New Mexicans for Free Enter. v. City of Santa Fe, 2006-NMCA-007, ¶ 52, 138 N.M. 785, 126 P.3d 1149 (Citation omitted). The Takings Clause “prevents the government from taking private property, overtly or through regulation, without justly compensating the lawful owner.” Manning, 2006-NMSC-027, ¶ 10. “The constitutional framers selected just compensation as their specific remedy for enforcement of that right.” Id.

 

“Takings jurisprudence distinguishes between physical takings and regulatory takings.” Wilson, 2021-NMSC-022, ¶ 26. “Physical takings are categorically compensable and occur whenever the government acquires private property for a public purpose, whether the acquisition is the result of a condemnation proceeding or a physical appropriation.” Id. (internal quotation marks and quoted authority omitted). “Regulatory takings may occur when government regulation prohibits a property owner from making certain uses of her private property.” Id.

 

The general rule is that a regulation which imposes a reasonable restriction on the use of private property will not constitute a “taking” of that property if the regulation is (1) reasonably related to a proper purpose and (2) does not unreasonably deprive the property owner of all, or substantially all, of the beneficial use of his property.

 

Temple Baptist Church, Inc., 1982-NMSC-055, ¶ 27. “If a regulatory taking [of land] has occurred, [for example,] an action [would lie] for inverse condemnation.” Moongate Water Co., Inc. v. City of Las Cruces, 2013-NMSC-018, ¶ 18, 302 P.3d 405.

 

As a threshold issue, the Takings Clause requires a protected property interest. Premier Tr. of Nev., Inc. v. City of Albuquerque, 2021-NMCA-004, ¶¶ 14-15, 482 P.3d 1261. Constitutional analysis of a property right will look to the proverbial “bundle of rights” that is commonly characterized as property, rather than the property itself. Id. ¶ 15. “[O]nly persons with an ownership interest capable of being taken or damaged would appear to have standing to raise issues about the basic features of such an action.” City of Sunland Park v. Santa Teresa Servs. Co., 2003-NMCA-106, ¶ 48, 134 N.M. 243, 75 P.3d 843.

A.Evidence of a Protected Property Interest

 

Though most New Mexico jurisprudence analyzes physical property, courts have considered intangible property to be protected property under the Takings Clause. See Leigh v. Village of Los Lunas, 2005-NMCA-025, ¶¶ 1, 8, 137 N.M. 119, 108 P.3d 525 (applying Takings Clause analysis to a restrictive covenant); see also Premier Tr. of Nev., Inc., 2021-NMCA-004, ¶ 15 n.5 (“We assume without deciding for purposes of our analysis that Premier’s excess [impact development fee] credits constitute a property right protected by the Takings Clause.”); Moongate Water Co., 2013-NMSC-018, ¶ 16 (“Even though Moongate’s [certificate of public convenience] does not prevent Las Cruces from providing service in the certificated area, this does not necessarily preclude the possibility that Las Cruces effectuated a taking in doing so.”); Medrow v. N.M. Pub. Educ. Dep’t, No. A-1-CA-36959, 2020 WL 4731939, at ¶ 11 (N.M. Ct. App. Aug. 10, 2020) (“As we see it, it is Medrow’s right to use that [contractually accrued] leave that represents the property at issue. . . and we furthermore assume without deciding that that right is ‘property’ in the takings sense.” (Citations omitted.)). This treatment is consistent with New Mexico’s analytic focus on the proverbial bundle of property rights rather than physical property itself. Premier Tr. of Nev., Inc., 2021-NMCA-004, ¶ 15.

 

The threshold inquiry in a takings claim is whether a claimant has a protected property interest. “[I]f a claimant has no property right protected by the Takings Clause, then its takings claim necessarily fails.” Id. ¶ 14. The New Mexico Supreme Court has described a property interest as one that requires the claimant to have “a legitimate claim of entitlement to it,” as opposed to a “a unilateral expectation” or “an abstract need or desire” for the property. N.M. Dep’t of Workforce Sols. v. Garduño, 2016-NMSC-002, ¶ 13, 363 P.3d 1176 (quoting Bd. of Regents of State Colls. v. Roth, 408 U.S. 564, 577 (1972)).

 

Courts also describe protected property interests under the Takings Clause as vested property interests. See New Mexicans for Free Enter. v. City of Santa Fe, 2006-NMCA-007, ¶¶ 53–54 (finding that a minimum wage law did not violate the Takings Clause because “the wage rate in contracts for labor is generally not considered a vested property right of the employer”). “A ‘vested right’ is the power to do certain actions or possess certain things lawfully, and is substantially a property right, and may be created either by common law, by statute, or by contract.” Rubalcava, 1949-NMSC-035, ¶ 10. The New Mexico Supreme Court has said that the Court “look[s] to state law, the legal authority that defines the scope of property rights” in determining rights protected by the Constitution and due process. Bartlett v. Cameron, 2014-NMSC-002, ¶ 14, 316 P.3d 889; see also Premier Tr. of Nev., Inc., 2021-NMCA-004, ¶ 17.

 

 

 

 

The persons listed on Exhibit A

The ETA states that the Energy Transition Property is “an existing, present property right.” Section 62-18-12(A). The ETA provides in pertinent part:

 

A.            Energy transition property that is created in a financing order shall constitute an existing, present property right, notwithstanding that the imposition and collection of energy transition charges depend on the qualifying utility continuing to provide electric energy or continuing to perform its service functions relating to the collection of energy transition charges or on the level of future energy consumption. Energy transition property shall exist whether or not the energy transition revenues have been billed, have accrued or have been collected and notwithstanding that the value or amount of the energy transition property is dependent on the future provision of electric energy or service to customers by the qualifying utility.

 

B.            All energy transition property created in a financing order shall continue to exist until the energy transition bonds issued and all related financing costs pursuant to a financing order are paid in full.

 

(Emphasis added.). The ETA exemplifies an expressly created property right, unlike where legislation is merely implementing public policy. See Bartlett, 2014-NMSC-002, ¶ 19 (“Unless we are satisfied that the Legislature intends to create a property right, this Court presumes that the Legislature is implementing public policy when it enacts a statute, policy which it is free to change in the future.”).

 

Adequate support exists for the argument that bondholders have a protected or vested property interest in the Bonds and the Energy Transition Property under the accepted definition of property rights used in New Mexico. The Bonds and the Energy Transition Property constitute a form of intangible property comprised of contractual and other rights, including a right to collect the energy transition charges as needed to amortize the Bonds. New Mexico jurisprudence indicates that these property rights would be protected if claimants held a legitimate claim of entitlement, and the plain language of the ETA supports the conclusion that the bondholders have a present property right in the Energy Transition Property.

 

B.Whether a Taking Has Occurred

 

After determining that a property interest exists, courts next turn to whether the state action constituted a “taking” for which just compensation is due under the Takings Clause. As noted, New Mexico courts generally recognize physical and regulatory takings. See Wilson, 2021-NMSC-022, ¶ 26. “Physical takings are categorically compensable and occur whenever the government acquires private property for a public purpose, whether the acquisition is the result of a condemnation proceeding or a physical appropriation.” Id. (internal quotation marks and quoted authority omitted).

“Regulatory takings may occur when government regulation prohibits a property owner from making certain uses of her private property.” Id. (alteration and citation omitted). “A regulatory taking . . . occurs when the government regulates the use of land, but does not condemn it, i.e., take title to the property.” Moongate Water Co., 2013-NMSC-018, ¶ 18. As noted:

 

The general rule is that a regulation which imposes a reasonable restriction on the use of private property will not constitute a “taking” of that property if the regulation is (1) reasonably related to a proper purpose and (2) does not unreasonably deprive the property owner of all, or substantially all, of the beneficial use of his property.

 

Temple Baptist Church, Inc., 1982-NMSC-055, ¶ 27. However, the New Mexico Supreme Court has cast significant doubt on the possibility that a regulation could constitute a taking where it did not deprive an owner of substantially all beneficial use of the property, even if the regulation satisfied the first prong of the test to demonstrate a taking, i.e., the regulation was unrelated to a proper purpose. See Est. & Heirs of Sanchez v. Cnty. of Bernalillo, 1995-NMSC-058, ¶¶ 8-9, 12, 120 N.M. 395, 902 P.2d 550. Courts in New Mexico have included the proper purpose of a government action as part of the takings analysis once, but without further comment. See Stuckey’s Stores, Inc. v. O’Cheskey, 1979-NMSC-060, ¶¶ 32-33, 93 N.M. 312, 600 P.2d 258. In practice, in determining whether a regulatory taking has occurred, courts heavily focus on the second prong of the test, whether the government action “unreasonably deprive[s] the property owner of all, or substantially all, of the beneficial use of [the] property.” Temple Baptist Church, Inc, 1982-NMSC-055, ¶ 27; see also Premier Tr. of Nev., Inc., 2021-NMCA-004, ¶ 24.

 

In Premier Trust of Nevada, Inc., the New Mexico Court of Appeals held that while Premier Trust potentially did have a property interest in government granted fee credits, Premier did not have a property interest in static market conditions supportive of a viable takings claim. 2021-NMCA-004, ¶¶ 14-18. Moreover, the credits’ loss in market value caused by Albuquerque’s change in city impact fee ordinance did not constitute a taking because Premier did not lose “all or substantially all of the beneficial use of its excess credits.” Id. ¶ 24. The Court remarked that “[s]uch a loss in value, unaccompanied by the deprivation of other strands in the property rights bundle, . . . has been held insufficient to make out a regulatory takings claim under controlling New Mexico precedent.” Id.

 

The New Mexico Supreme Court held in Moongate Water Co. that a public utility did not suffer a taking when the City of Las Cruces serviced annexed areas with water despite the utility’s certificate of public convenience and necessity. 2013-NMSC-018, ¶ 1. The Supreme Court reasoned that the municipality had the right to service the area, and moreover, that the utility had failed to demonstrate actual losses when the utility had not built infrastructure or engaged with any customers in the area. Id. ¶¶ 21-23. In contrast, in Leigh, the Court of Appeals held that the Village of Los Lunas constructing a retention pond in violation of a neighborhood restrictive covenant constituted a taking because the pond’s construction diminished the value of properties benefited by the covenant. 2005-NMCA-025, ¶ 1. In Leigh, the claimant had a protected property right, the restrictive covenant, that was more than a mere contract right. See id. ¶¶ 8, 10-11. Restrictive covenants “constitute valuable property rights, and their taking requires compensation.” Id. ¶ 8.

The intangible nature of the Bonds and the Energy Transition Property means that any taking would occur through legislative action or other governmental action rather than a physical occupation. Therefore, any potential government action would constitute a regulatory taking.

 

The Bonds are amortized from funds derived from the energy transition charges and other Energy Transition Property. If the State enacted legislation completely repealing the energy transition charges, then it would have effectively eliminated the revenue source of the payments due to the Bonds. The same would be true if the Commission issued an order prohibiting the collection of the energy transition charges. In such a case, a persuasive argument could be made that the State had denied the bondholders all or substantially all practical uses of their property. See Temple Baptist Church, Inc., 1982-NMSC-055, ¶ 27. If the impact of a legislative action or other governmental action were less severe, the argument would not be as strong, but the inquiry would be the same: whether the action denied the bondholders all or substantially all practical uses of their property. If the energy transition charges or the Energy Transition Property were to be substantially impacted by a legislative action or other governmental action, payment of the Bonds could become uncertain, the marketability of the Bonds could be negatively affected, and the bondholders’ rights and remedies could be reduced. If such an action denied the bondholders all or substantially all practical uses of their property, a court would have a basis to find an unconstitutional regulatory taking.

 

Ultimately, the character of any future legislative action or other governmental action cannot be known at this time, nor can the circumstances in which the action is adopted. In light of that uncertainty, the foregoing analysis reflects the framework a court would apply to determine whether a taking has occurred under the New Mexico Takings Clause.

 

C.Just Compensation

 

“The New Mexico Takings Clause provides that ‘private property shall not be taken or damaged for public use without just compensation.’” Premier Tr. of Nev., Inc., 2021-NMCA-004, ¶ 11 (quoting N.M. Const. art. II, § 20). “In permanent total takings cases, New Mexico awards condemnees the fair market value of the property taken as of the date of the taking.” Primetime Hosp., Inc., 2009-NMSC-011 ¶ 15, 146 N.M. 1, 206 P.3d 112. “In partial takings cases, NMSA 1978, Section 42A-1-26 (1981[, as amended through 2023]) provides that ‘the measure of compensation and damages resulting from the taking shall be the difference between the fair market value of the entire property immediately before the taking and the fair market value of the property remaining immediately after the taking.’” Id.

 

The bondholders would be entitled to just compensation in the event of legislative or governmental action that amounts to a taking of the Bonds, the Energy Transition Property, or the energy transition charges. Just compensation would be measured as to the value of the property lost by the bondholders by the taking, which would depend on the nature of the legislative action.

D.Opinion

 

Based on a review of relevant precedent and authority, it is our opinion that in a properly prepared and presented case before a court of competent jurisdiction3 applying New Mexico law, the court would conclude that the New Mexico Takings Clause requires the State to pay just compensation to the bondholders if any State action in contravention of the State Pledge, after the Bonds are issued but before they are fully paid, (i) constituted a permanent appropriation of a substantial portion of the property interest of the bondholders in the Bonds or the Energy Transition Property or denial of all or substantially all practical uses of the Energy Transition Property; (ii) destroyed the Energy Transition Property, other than in response to emergency conditions; or (iii) substantially altered, impaired, or reduced the value of the Energy Transition Property in a manner that inflicts a severe economic impact on such bondholders and unduly interferes with their reasonable expectations, unless adequate provisions were made by law for the protection of bondholders.

 

IV.           REFERENDUM

 

A.           Whether Deadline for Referendum has Passed

 

The New Mexico Constitution provides New Mexico voters an opportunity to launch a referendum and seek to repeal a law if certain requirements, both statutory and constitutional, are met. N.M. Const. art. IV, § 1; see also NMSA 1978, §§ 1-17-1 to -14 (1969, as amended through 2023). Article IV, Section 1 of the New Mexico Constitution provides in pertinent part:

 

The people reserve the power to disapprove, suspend and annul any law enacted by the legislature, except general appropriation laws; laws providing for the preservation of the public peace, health or safety; for the payment of the public debt or interest thereon, or the creation or funding of the same, except as in this constitution otherwise provided; for the maintenance of the public schools or state institutions, and local or special laws. Petitions disapproving any law other than those above excepted, enacted at the last preceding session of the legislature, shall be filed with the secretary of state not less than four months prior to the next general election. Such petitions shall be signed by not less than ten per centum of the qualified electors of each of three-fourths of the counties and in the aggregate by not less than ten per centum of the qualified electors of the state, as shown by the total number of votes cast at the last preceding general election. The question of the approval or rejection of such law shall be submitted by the secretary of state to the electorate at the next general election; and if a majority of the legal votes cast thereon, and not less than forty per centum of the total number of legal votes cast at such general election, be cast for the rejection of such law, it shall be annulled and thereby repealed with the same effect as if the legislature had then repealed it, and such repeal shall revive any law repealed by the act so annulled; otherwise, it shall remain in force unless subsequently repealed by the legislature. If such petition or petitions be signed by not less than twenty-five per centum of the qualified electors under each of the foregoing conditions, and be filed with the secretary of state within ninety days after the adjournment of the session of the legislature at which such law was enacted, the operation thereof shall be thereupon suspended and the question of its approval or rejection shall be likewise submitted to a vote at the next ensuing general election. If a majority of the votes cast thereon and not less than forty per centum of the total number of votes cast at such general election be cast for its rejection, it shall be thereby annulled; otherwise, it shall go into effect upon publication of the certificate of the secretary of state declaring the result of the vote thereon. It shall be a felony for any person to sign any such petition with any name other than his own, or to sign his name more than once for the same measure, or to sign such petition when he is not a qualified elector in the county specified in such petition; provided, that nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit the writing thereon of the name of any person who cannot write, and who signs the same with his mark. The legislature shall enact laws necessary for the effective exercise of the power hereby reserved.

 

 

3 The courts of New Mexico exercise jurisdiction over claims seeking just compensation from the State of New Mexico for state takings in violation of the federal takings clause in Amendment V of the United States Constitution. Manning v. N.M. Mining & Min. Div., 2006-NMSC-027, ¶ 50, 140 N.M. 528, 144 P.3d 87. The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals holds federal district courts lack jurisdiction to hear federal takings clause claims for monetary compensation against states, at least when the relevant state makes its courts available to provide monetary relief for takings in violation of the federal takings clause, applying the restriction of federal court jurisdiction imposed by the Eleventh Amendment as construed by Edelman v, Jordan, 415 U.S. 651,662-63 (1974. See Williams v. Utah Department of Corrections, 928 F.3d 1209, 1213-14 (10th Cir. 2019) (following other circuit courts of appeals in distinguishing contrary precedent concerning claims not subject to the Eleventh Amendment restriction of federal court authority). Under the foregoing authorities, a New Mexico state court would provide the judicial forum for seeking monetary compensation from the State of New Mexico based on a federal takings clause claim. There can be no assurance, however, that any such award of just compensation would be sufficient to pay the full amount of principal of and interest on the Bonds.

N.M. Const. art. IV, § 1 (Emphasis added.)

 

The Legislature enacted the ETA in 2019. The express language of Article IV, Section 1 states that “[p]etitions disapproving any law other than those above excepted, enacted at the last preceding session of the legislature, shall be filed with the secretary of state not less than four months prior to the next general election.” As such, because there was a general election in 2020, the time prescribed by the New Mexico Constitution allowing for a challenge to the ETA by referendum has passed.

 

B.            Whether the ETA is a “Special Law” and Exempt from Referendum

 

Article IV, Section 1 provides that certain laws or types of law are exempt from the referendum process:

 

The people reserve the power to disapprove, suspend and annul any law enacted by the legislature, except general appropriation laws; laws providing for the preservation of the public peace, health or safety; for the payment of the public debt or interest thereon, or the creation or funding of the same, except as in this constitution otherwise provided; for the maintenance of the public schools or state institutions, and local or special laws.

 

N.M. Const. art. IV, § 1.

 

A “special law” is “generally defined as legislation written in terms which make[] it applicable only to named individuals or determinative situations. In contrast a law is considered general in nature if the subject of the statute may apply to, and affect the people of, every political subdivision of the state.” Thompson v. McKinley Cnty., 1991-NMSC-076, ¶ 5, 112 N.M. 425, 816 P.2d 494 (internal quotation marks, quoted authority, and original alterations omitted).

 

The New Mexico Supreme Court has determined that the ETA falls within the category of “special laws.” See Citizens for Fair Rates & the Env’t v. N.M. Pub. Regul. Comm’n (“Citizens”), 2022-NMSC-010, ¶ 68, 503 P.3d 1138. (“We are of the view that the classification drawn by the [ETA] is special, but is not so devoid of reason that the classification amounts to mere caprice.” (Internal quotation marks, quoted authority, and original alterations omitted.)). The New Mexico Supreme Court stated:

 

Although the language of the ETA is general, in practice the Act only applies to a limited class of public utilities abandoning coal-fired generating facilities in New Mexico. Given the unique nature of the class and issues involved, the Legislature could reasonably conclude that the circumstances surrounding a public utility’s abandonment of its coal-fired generating facilities are of such a special character that a general law could not be made to apply.

 

Id.

 

The New Mexico Supreme Court has also rejected that the ETA violates the constitutional proscription against “special laws.” Id. (“We therefore reject this constitutional challenge to the ETA.”) Article IV, Section 24 of the New Mexico Constitution sets out the areas in which “special” laws are not permitted. 4 “Article IV, Section 24 of the New Mexico Constitution prohibits special legislation ‘where a general law can be made applicable.’ It does not exclude special legislation, however, when a law is required and general legislation cannot apply.” Thompson, 1991-NMSC-076, ¶¶ 3-4 (quoting N.M. Const. art. IV § 24); see also Citizens, 2022-NMSC-010, ¶ 68 (“There is nothing in the Constitution which would invalidate a legislative act merely because it is special in character provided a local situation exists which under particular facts makes a general law inapplicable.” (Internal quotation marks and quoted authority omitted.)).

 

 

4 Article IV Section 24 of the New Mexico Constitution provides:

 

The legislature shall not pass local or special laws in any of the following cases: regulating county, precinct or district affairs; the jurisdiction and duties of justices of the peace, police magistrates and constables; the practice in courts of justice; the rate of interest on money; the punishment for crimes and misdemeanors; the assessment or collection of taxes or extending the time of collection thereof;

C.           Opinion

 

Based on our review of the judicial authority, the referendum process as to the ETA would not be available to New Mexico voters. Not only has the time to invoke the referendum process expired, but the New Mexico Supreme Court has concluded that the ETA is a “special law,” which the New Mexico Constitution exempts from the referendum process afforded.

 

V.           CONSTITUTIONALITY OF THE ETA

 

The New Mexico Supreme Court has stated that it “will uphold a statute unless [it] is satisfied beyond all reasonable doubt that the Legislature went outside the bounds fixed by the Constitution in enacting the challenged legislation.” Citizens, 2022-NMSC-010, ¶ 15 (internal quotation marks and quoted authority omitted). The Court will “not inquire into the wisdom or policy of an act of the Legislature, and the burden of establishing that the statute is invalid rests on the party challenging the constitutionality of the statute.” Id. (internal quotation marks, quoted authority, and ellipsis omitted). The Court will avoid deciding constitutional questions unless required to do so. Id. ¶ 30.

 

The ETA was enacted in 2019 and has been subject to constitutional challenge before the New Mexico Supreme Court by organizations representing energy consumers. See id. ¶ 1. We are not aware of any pending litigation regarding the ETA and its constitutionality.

 

In Citizens, the Supreme Court considered multiple “facial” challenges to the constitutionality of the ETA and rejected them in toto. Id. ¶¶ 4-5. In a “facial” challenge to the constitutionality of a statute as presented, “[the Court will] consider only the text of the statute itself, not its application. But in an as-applied challenge, [the Court] consider[s] the facts of the case to determine whether application of the statute even if facially valid deprived the challenger of a protected right.” Id. ¶ 15 (internal quotation marks and quoted authority omitted).

 

 

the summoning and impaneling of jurors; the management of public schools; the sale or mortgaging of real estate of minors or others under disability; the change of venue in civil or criminal cases. Nor in the following cases: granting divorces; laying out, opening, altering or working roads or highways, except as to state roads extending into more than one county, and military roads; vacating roads, town plats, streets, alleys or public grounds; locating or changing county seats, or changing county lines, except in creating new counties; incorporating cities, towns or villages, or changing or amending the charter of any city, town or village; the opening or conducting of any election or designating the place of voting; declaring any person of age; chartering or licensing ferries, toll bridges, toll roads, banks, insurance companies or loan and trust companies; remitting fines, penalties, forfeitures or taxes; or refunding money paid into the state treasury, or relinquishing, extending or extinguishing, in whole or in part, any indebtedness or liability of any person or corporation, to the state or any municipality therein; creating, increasing or decreasing fees, percentages or allowances of public officers; changing the laws of descent; granting to any corporation, association or individual the right to lay down railroad tracks or any special or exclusive privilege, immunity or franchise, or amending existing charters for such purpose; changing the rules of evidence in any trial or inquiry; the limitation of actions; giving effect to any informal or invalid deed, will or other instrument; exempting property from taxation; restoring to citizenship any person convicted of an infamous crime; the adoption or legitimizing of children; changing the name of persons or places; and the creation, extension or impairment of liens. In every other case where a general law can be made applicable, no special law shall be enacted.

 

 

 

 

The persons listed on Exhibit A

A.           Due Process

 

The New Mexico Supreme Court has rejected both a substantive and procedural due process challenge to the ETA based on the argument that the “ETA deprives energy consumers of due process by allowing a qualifying public utility to recover its energy transition costs without Commission oversight.” Id. ¶ 32. Article II, Section 18 of the New Mexico Constitution provides in pertinent part: “No person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law; nor shall any person be denied equal protection of the laws.”

 

To assert a claim for procedural due process, a “challenger to the legislation must establish that the challenger was deprived of a legitimate liberty or property interest and that the challenger was not afforded adequate procedural protections in connection with the deprivation.” Citizens, 2022-NMSC-010, ¶ 33 (internal quotation marks, quoted omitted, and brackets omitted). The court will consider each claim on a case-by-case basis and will balance the following elements in determining what process is due in an administrative hearing:

 

(1) the private interest that will be affected by the official action; (2) the risk of an erroneous deprivation of such interest through the procedures used, and the probable value, if any, of additional or substitute procedural safeguards; and (3) the government’s interest, including the function involved and the fiscal and administrative burdens that the additional or substitute procedural requirement would entail.

 

Id. (quoted authority omitted).

 

To assert such a claim, the party must possess a cognizable property or liberty interest. See id. ¶ 34. The Supreme Court stated: “Energy consumers generally do not possess a claim of entitlement to utility property or a right to any fixed utility rate.” Id. (citing State v. Mountain States Tel. & Tel. Co., 1950-NMSC-055, ¶¶ 13-24, 54 N.M. 315, 224 P.2d 155 (“[I]t is generally held . . . that the remedy of the public is an appeal to the legislature or its delegated authority for redress or protection against unreasonably high rates. The theory is that the legislature is acting for the people; and that no (property right) is involved.” (Citations omitted.)); Gas Co. of N.M. v. N.M. Pub. Serv. Comm’n, 1984-NMSC-002, ¶ 13, 100 N.M. 740, 676 P.2d 817 (“[A] utility customer is not a partner or beneficiary of the utility . . .. By paying bills for service [customers] do not acquire any interest, legal or equitable, in the property used for their convenience or in the funds of the company.” (Internal quotation marks and citation omitted.)). Nonetheless, the Court recognized that NMSA 1978, Section 62-3-1(B) (2008) accords to energy consumers an entitlement to “reasonable and proper service at fair, just and reasonable rates.” Citizens, 2022-NMSC-010, ¶ 35. “In light of this statutorily created interest,” the Court noted energy consumers are entitled to “reasonable notice and opportunity to be heard and present any claim or defense in proceedings before the Commission.” Id. (internal quotation marks and quoted authority omitted).  

 

 

 

 

The persons listed on Exhibit A

November 15, 2023

Page 25

 

Rejecting the energy consumers’ claims, the Court reasoned:

 

The ETA provides that “[t]he [C]ommission may approve an application for a financing order without a formal hearing if no protest establishing good cause for a formal hearing is filed within thirty days of . . . when notice is given of the filing.” Section 62-18-5(A). While Section 62-18-5(A) is not a model of clarity, the ETA as written contemplates that energy consumers will be given sufficient notice of the utility’s application and a meaningful opportunity to be heard upon lodging a “protest establishing good cause for a formal hearing” in front of the Commission. Id.  In the language of the ETA, we see nothing discordant with the procedural requirements of due process. In fact, New Energy and several other objecting parties representing the rights of energy consumers participated extensively in these abandonment proceedings and presented various claims and defenses. As such, we reject New Energy’s procedural due process challenge to the ETA.

 

Id. ¶ 36.

 

As to the substantive due process claims, the energy consumers had alleged that the hearings held pursuant to the ETA would not provide energy consumers with a meaningful opportunity to be heard because the Commission’s findings would be limited to the elements defined in the ETA. Id. ¶ 37. The energy consumers argued that the ETA did not permit the Commission to review a utility’s estimated energy transition costs before issuing a financing order, and that this supposed limitation on the Commission’s authority violated due process and equal protection. See id.

 

Construing the energy consumers’ challenge as a challenge to the ETA itself, the Court concluded that the ETA is “economic regulation” that does not implicate important or fundamental rights and reviewed it using a rational basis standard. See id. ¶¶ 38-39. “Under rational basis review, the challenger must demonstrate that the legislation is not rationally related to a legitimate government purpose. In reviewing substantive due process challenges under the United States Constitution, we follow the federal rational basis test which only requires a reviewing court to divine the existence of a conceivable rational basis to uphold legislation against a constitutional challenge.” Id. (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). Under the New Mexico Constitution, the Court applies a “modified rational basis standard . . . as [the Court is] cognizant of [its] constitutional duty to protect discrete groups of New Mexicans from arbitrary discrimination by political majorities and powerful special interests.” Id. ¶ 40 (internal quotation marks and quoted authority omitted).

 

 

 

 

The persons listed on Exhibit A

November 15, 2023

Page 26

 

This standard of review requires that the challenger demonstrate that “the legislation is not supported by a firm legal rationale or evidence in the record.” Id.  “In practical terms, our rational basis standard requires the challenger to bring forward record evidence, legislative facts, judicially noticeable materials, case law, or legal argument to prove that the challenged legislation is not rationally related to the articulated legitimate government purposes.” Id. (internal quotation marks, quoted authority, and alterations omitted).  The Court concluded that the energy consumers had not met this burden and stated it “fully disagree[d] with [the energy consumers’] assertion that the challenged legislation lacks a rational basis simply because the legislation is unique relative to other utility legislation or because it requires the Commission to issue a financing order once the Commission is satisfied that the utility has met the requirements of the ETA.” Id. ¶ 41. The Court stated:

 

The Legislature has declared that it is the “policy of the state” that utilities be regulated so “that reasonable and proper services shall be available at fair, just and reasonable rates” and so “that capital and investment may be encouraged and attracted so as to provide for . . . proper plants and facilities and demand-side resources for the rendition of service to the general public and to industry.” Section 62-3-1. We have explained that Section 62-3-1(B) expresses an intent to balance the interests of a utility and energy consumers, toward achieving rates that are neither unreasonably high so as to unjustly burden ratepayers with excessive rates nor unreasonably low so as to constitute a taking of property without just compensation or a violation of due process by preventing the utility from earning a reasonable rate of return on its investment. We have recognized that there is a significant zone of reasonableness in which rates are neither ratepayer extortion nor utility confiscation. In enacting the ETA, the Legislature decided that permitting a public utility to finance the energy transition costs associated with abandoning a coal-fired generating facility in the manner therein provided would promote the legitimate interests reflected in Section 62-3-1(B). [The energy consumers] may disagree, as a policy matter, with this legislative decision. But [the energy consumers’] policy disagreement does not lay the foundation for judicial interference on substantive due process grounds.

 

Id. ¶ 42 (some citations omitted).

 

The Court deferred to the validity of the statute, absent the challenger carrying the burden of persuasion. While each question presented under the due process clause will be fact dependent, a court will apply a modified rational basis standard under the New Mexico Constitution. The Supreme Court also recognized that policy disagreement, without some record evidence in support of such challenge, would not support judicial interference. See id. ¶¶ 42-43.

B.           Separation of Powers

 

Article III, Section 1 of the New Mexico Constitution provides in pertinent part:

 

The powers of the government of this state are divided into three distinct departments, the legislative, executive and judicial, and no person or collection of persons charged with the exercise of powers properly belonging to one of these departments, shall exercise any powers properly belonging to either of the others, except as in this constitution otherwise expressly directed or permitted.

 

“An unconstitutional infringement occurs when the action by one branch prevents another from accomplishing its constitutionally assigned function.” State ex rel. N.M. Jud. Standards Comm’n v. Espinosa, 2003-NMSC-017, ¶ 12, 134 N.M. 59, 73 P.3d 197. “It is duly established that the legislative branch makes the laws, the executive branch executes the laws, and our Constitution prohibits any branch of government from usurping the power of another branch.” N.M. Bldg. & Constr. Trades Council v. Dean, 2015-NMSC-023, ¶ 7, 353 P.3d 1212 (internal quotation marks and quoted authority omitted).

 

1.            Legislative powers

 

In Citizens, the Supreme Court also rejected a challenge to the ETA based on separation of powers grounds. 2022-NMSC-010, ¶¶ 44-48. The energy consumers had argued that the ETA invaded the Commission’s “responsibility for regulating public utilities” under Article XI, Section 2 of the New Mexico Constitution by purportedly eliminating the Commission’s authority to review and disallow a public utility’s energy transition costs for imprudence or unreasonableness. 2022-NMSC-010, ¶ 44. The Court focused on the role of the Commission as set by the New Mexico Constitution. See id. ¶ 45. “[T]he Commission is constitutionally tasked with the ‘responsibility for regulating public utilities as provided by law.’” Id. (quoting N.M. Const. art. XI, § 2 (emphasis added)). The Court in rejecting the challenge stated: “Thus, while the New Mexico Constitution delegates to the Commission the exclusive responsibility for carrying out public utility regulatory policy, the parameters of that policy are, in the first instance, for the Legislature to decide.” Id. ¶ 45. The Court reiterated that any legislation, though, must accord with the mandates of the Constitution. See id. ¶ 46.

 

The Court also rejected the energy consumers’ argument that the Legislature was constitutionally required to confer upon the Commission the authority to disallow, as imprudent, some or all of a utility’s energy transition costs. See id. ¶ 47. The Court stated that “the prudent investment theory is but one of many accepted ratemaking methodologies, and we have repeatedly recognized that the Commission is not bound to the use of any single formula or combination of formulae in determining rates.” Id. (internal quotation marks and quoted authority omitted).

2.            The Courts

 

One challenge the Court did not reach for inadequate briefing was whether Section 62-18-22 improperly constrains meaningful judicial review and thus violates separation of powers under Article III, Section 1 and Article VI, Section 1 of the New Mexico Constitution. See id. ¶ 29. Section 62-18-22 in pertinent part provides that “if any provision of [the ETA] is invalidated, superseded, replaced, repealed or expires for any reason, that occurrence shall not affect the validity of any action allowed pursuant to the [the ETA].” It is impossible to speculate regarding what arguments may have been made or how such challenge would be presented.

 

However, we note that considering the plain language of the statute, the only word that could be construed to contemplate court action is “invalidated.” The remainder refers to legislative action and would arguably not apply to court action as a court does not have the power to enact, supersede, or repeal legislation. Equally, assuming that the State Pledge constitutes a contract, such language permitting severance of any offending provision is not unusual, and any legislative action as to the ETA that would otherwise impair that contract would potentially run afoul of the Contract Clause, as discussed above.

 

C.            Other Constitutional Provisions

 

The energy consumers also challenged the ETA as violating Article IV, Section 34 of the New Mexico Constitution, claiming that the ETA interfered with pending litigation. Citizens, 2022-NMSC-010, ¶ 49. Article IV, Section 34 provides, “[n]o act of the legislature shall affect the right or remedy of either party, or change the rules of evidence or procedure, in any pending case.” The Court concluded that the ETA did not violate the constitutional provision because the energy consumers’ proposed cases were not voluntary abandonment proceedings initiated before the ETA came into effect. Id. ¶ 50. Likewise, other arguments regarding the Commission’s modified authority under NMSA 1978, Section 62-16-6(C) (2019) affecting pending litigation were unavailing as the Commission had not actually invoked its authority prior to the creation of the ETA. No such litigation could be pending. Id. ¶ 51.

 

With regard to the New Mexico Constitution’s Contract Clause, N.M. Const. art. II, § 19, the Court similarly rejected several arguments from the energy consumer that the ETA modified several agreements made by the Commission and interfered with the contractual or vested rights of consumers. Id. ¶ 53. Under the first step of Contract Clause analysis, the Court determined that the energy consumers failed to specify what part of the Commission’s agreements created either vested or contractual rights. Id. ¶¶ 54-58. In addition to the energy consumers’ failure to identify a valid right, the Court relied on its strong preference against inferring the creation of contractual rights by legislative action. Id. ¶ 55; see also Pierce, 1996-NMSC-001, ¶ 48.

 

The Court further rejected other arguments that the ETA violated Article IV, Section 16 of the New Mexico Constitution. Citizens, 2022-NMSC-010, ¶ 59. Article IV, Section 16 provides, in relevant part: “The subject of every bill shall be clearly expressed in its title, and no bill embracing more than one subject shall be passed except general appropriation bills and bills for the codification or revision of the laws.” The Court reiterated that the title of a bill is “sufficient if the title gives notice of the subject matter of the legislation and . . . if, applying every reasonable intendment in favor of its validity, it may be said that the subject of the legislative enactment is expressed in its title.” Id. ¶ 60. (alteration, internal quotation marks, and citations omitted). The Court determined that the lengthy proper title of the ETA as introduced in Senate Bill 489 provided adequate notice of the subject matter of the act so as not to contravene Article IV, Section 16 of the New Mexico Constitution. Id. ¶¶ 61-62; see also 2019 N.M. Laws, ch. 65.

The energy consumers’ argument that the ETA unconstitutionally amended other sections of New Mexico public utility law “by reference to its title only” were also rejected by the Court. Citizens, 2022-NMSC-010, ¶ 63. Article IV, Section 18 of the New Mexico Constitution provides: “No law shall be revised or amended, or the provisions thereof extended by reference to its title only; but each section thereof as revised, amended or extended shall be set out in full.” The energy consumers suggested that the ETA repealed or amended other components of New Mexico public utility law by mere implication, but the Court recognized that Article IV, Section 18 makes no such prohibition, even if disfavored. Id. ¶ 65; see also State ex rel. Taylor v. Mirabal, 1928-NMSC-056, ¶ 13, 33 N.M. 553, 273 P. 928. The Court also noted - without deciding - that the ETA could be read harmoniously with other provisions governing the Commission’s authority to regulate. Citizens, 2022-NMSC-010, ¶ 66.

 

In their final challenge, the energy consumers argued that the ETA was special legislation where a general law could be made applicable, contrary to Article IV, Section 24 of the New Mexico Constitution, because only PNM may qualify as a “qualifying utility” and only two facilities qualified as a “qualifying generating facility.” Id. ¶ 67; see also § 62-18-2(S), (T). The Court observed that due to the “unique nature of the class and issues involved” of this particular issue applying only to the “limited class of public utilities abandoning coal-fired generating facilities,” this issue was sufficiently specific such that a general law would not apply. Citizens, 2022-NMSC-010, ¶ 68. Accordingly, it was not a constitutionally improper use of special legislation. Id. ¶¶ 68.

 

Though it is unclear what type of constitutional challenge could be raised against the ETA, it is clear that many of the potential avenues have already been addressed and rejected by the New Mexico Supreme Court. It is possible that a plaintiff could bring a potentially novel factual situation to challenge the ETA, but it is our opinion that sound reason and argument supports the notion that the ETA is constitutional under New Mexico substantive law.

All of our opinions set forth herein are subject to the following qualifications, limitations, and assumptions:

 

1.            Our opinions herein are based on our evaluation of the existing judicial decisions and arguments related to the factual circumstances likely to exist at the time of a New Mexico Contract or Takings Clause challenge to a legislative action claimed to an impairment or taking of a bondholder’s property and are intended to express our belief as to the result of if existing judicial decisions are properly applied in a properly prepared and presented case. The prevailing law and circumstances assumed herein could change materially following the issuance of this opinion. We note that judicial analysis relating to the New Mexico Contract and Takings Clauses and the retroactive effect given to judicial decisions has typically proceeded on a case-by-case basis and that the courts’ determinations, in most instances, are strongly influenced by the facts and circumstances of the particular case. We further note that we are aware of no reported controlling judicial precedent directly on point. Our analysis is necessarily a reasoned application of judicial decisions. Moreover, the application of equitable principles (including the availability of injunctive relief or the issuance of a stay pending appeal) is subject to the discretion of the court asked to apply them. We cannot predict the facts and circumstances which will be present in the future and may be relevant to the exercise of such discretion. Consequently, there can be no assurance that a court will follow our reasoning or reach the conclusion which we believe current judicial precedent supports. Nor is there any assurance that any award of just compensation would be sufficient to pay the full amount of principal and interest on the bonds. It is our and your understanding that none of the foregoing opinions is intended to be a guarantee as to what a particular court would actually hold, rather each such opinion is only an expression as to the decision a court may reach if the issue were properly prepared and presented to it and the court followed what we believe to be the applicable legal principles under existing judicial precedent. The recipients of this letter should take these considerations into account in analyzing the risks associated with the subject transaction.

 

2.            Our opinions assume that a legislative action would substantially impair the Energy Transition Property, and by extension the Bonds secured by that property, if it significantly affects the amount of the energy transition charges, impairs the ability to collect them, or otherwise prevents payment of the Bonds. The determination of whether particular legislative action constitutes a substantial impairment of a particular contract is a fact-specific analysis, and nothing in this letter expresses any opinion as to how a court would resolve the issue of “substantial impairment” with respect to the Energy Transition Property, the energy transition charges, or the Bonds vis-à-vis a particular legislative action.

 

3.            Our opinions assume the Issuer is duly constituted and the relevant transactions described above have occurred in compliance with the Financing Order, that the ETA is valid, and that the evidences of indebtedness, securities, and agreements related to the subject financing are duly issued, executed, valid, and binding in all pertinent respects.

 

4.            The rights of the bondholders may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights heretofore or hereafter enacted to the extent constitutionally applicable and their enforcement may also be subject to the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases.

 

5.            This opinion letter is limited to the laws of the State of New Mexico, and we express no opinion and make no statement as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.

 

6.            This opinion letter is limited to the matters stated herein and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters herein expressly stated. The opinions expressed herein are expressed and made as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances which may hereafter come to our attention with respect to the opinions expressed above, including any changes in applicable law or any judicial decisions which may hereafter occur. Without limiting the foregoing, we express no opinion as to any actions that may be required to be taken under any applicable law in order to create, perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest referred to herein.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and to all references to our firm included in or made a part thereof. In giving the foregoing consents, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the related rules and regulations.  We assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion letter to reflect any facts or circumstances which may hereafter come to our attention with respect to the opinions or statements expressed above, including any changes in applicable law which may hereafter occur.
