thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the properties mortgaged
and pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the rights of the bearers or
registered owners of the Bonds and of the Trustee in respect thereto, and the
terms and conditions upon which the Bonds are, and are to be, secured. The Bonds
may be issued in series, for various principal sums, may mature at different
times, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary as in the
Indenture provided. This Bond is one of a series designated as the "First

Series") of the Company, issued under and secured by the Indenture executed by
the Company to the Trustee.
To the extent permitted by, and as provided in the Indenture, modifications
or alterations of the Indenture or of any indenture supplemental thereto, and of
the rights and obligations of the Company and of the holders of the Bonds and
coupons, may be made with the consent of the Company by an affirmative vote of

of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on, this Bond, which are
unconditional. The Company has reserved the right to make certain amendments to
the Indenture, without any consent or other action by holders of the Bonds of
-10-
this series (i) to the extent necessary from time to time to qualify the
Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, (ii) to delete the requirement
that the Company meet a net earnings test as a condition to authenticating
additional Bonds or merging into another company and (iii) to make certain other
amendments which make the provisions for the release of mortgaged property less
restrictive, all as more fully provided in the Indenture and in the Supplemental
Indenture. In addition, once all Bonds issued prior to January 1, 1997 are no
longer outstanding, the Company will be permitted to issue additional Bonds in
an amount equal to 70% of the value of net bondable property additions not
subject to an unfunded prior lien, as provided in the Original Indenture.
This Bond is subject to redemption at any time and from time to time prior
to maturity at the option of the Company at a price determined as provided in
the Supplemental Indenture. Such redemption in every case shall be effected upon
notice given by: (1) first class mail, postage prepaid, at least thirty days and
not more than sixty days prior to the redemption date, to the registered owners
of such Bonds at their addresses as the same shall appear on the transfer
register of the Company; and (2) stating, among other things, the redemption
price and date, in each case, subject to the conditions of and as more fully set
forth in the Indenture.
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Supplemental
Indenture), each holder of this Bond shall have the right to require the Company
to repurchase all or any part of such holder's Bonds at a purchase price equal
to 101% of the principal, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
purchase date as provided in the Supplemental Indenture. Within 30 days
following any Change of Control, the Company shall cause a notice of the Change
of Control Offer to be delivered in accordance with the procedures set forth in
the Supplemental Indenture.
In case an event of default, as defined in the Indenture, shall occur, the
principal of all of the Bonds at any such time outstanding under the Indenture
may be declared or may become due and payable, upon the conditions and in the
manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. The Indenture provides
that such declaration may in certain events be waived by the holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Bonds outstanding.
This Bond is transferable by the registered owner hereof, in person or by
duly authorized attorney, on the books of the Company to be kept for that
purpose at the agency of the Company in the City of Chicago, Illinois, and at
the agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,
upon surrender and cancellation of this Bond and on presentation of a duly
executed written instrument of transfer, and thereupon a new registered Bond or
Bonds of the same series, of the same aggregate principal amount and in
authorized denominations will be issued to the transferee or transferees in
exchange herefor; and this Bond, with or without others of like form and series,
may in like manner be exchanged for one or more new registered Bonds of the same
series of other authorized denominations but of the same aggregate principal
amount; all upon payment of the charges and subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in the Indenture.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or premium, if
any, or interest on this Bond, or for any claim based hereon or on the Indenture
or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, or against any
stockholder, director or officer, past, present or future, of the Company, or of
any predecessor or successor corporation, as such, either directly or
-11-
through the Company or any such predecessor or successor corporation, whether by
virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any
assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability, whether at common law,
in equity, by any constitution, statute or otherwise, of incorporators,
stockholders, directors or officers being released by every owner hereof by the
acceptance of this Bond and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof,
and being likewise released by the terms of the Indenture.
No director, officer, employee or stockholder of the Company will have any
liability for any obligations of the Company under the Bonds or Indenture or for
any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their
creation. Each holder by accepting a Bond waives and releases all such
liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of
the Bonds. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the
federal securities laws. It is the view of the Securities and Exchange
Commission that this type of waiver is against public policy.
This Bond shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or any
indenture supplemental thereto, or become valid or obligatory for any purpose,
until BNY Midwest Trust Company, the Trustee (as successor to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Trust and
Savings Bank) under the Indenture, or a successor trustee thereto under the
Indenture, shall have signed the form of certificate endorsed hereon.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, WESTERN RESOURCES, INC. has caused this Bond to be
signed in its name by its Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive
Officer or a Vice President, manually or by facsimile, and its corporate seal
(or a facsimile thereof) to be hereto affixed and attested by its Secretary or
an Assistant Secretary, manually or by facsimile.

This Bond is one of the Bonds, of the series designated herein, described
in the within-mentioned Mortgage and Deed of Trust of July 1, 1939 and

BNY MIDWEST TRUST COMPANY
As Trustee
By
-------------------------------------
SECTION 4. Until Bonds of the 2007 Series in definitive form are ready for
delivery, the Company may execute, and upon its request in writing the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu thereof, Bonds of the 2007 Series in
temporary form, as provided in Section 9 of Article II of the Original
Indenture.
ARTICLE II
ISSUE OF BONDS OF THE 2007 SERIES
SECTION 1. The total principal amount of Bonds of the 2007 Series which may
be authenticated and delivered hereunder is not limited except as the Original
Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture limit the principal amount of Bonds
which may be issued thereunder.
SECTION 2. Bonds of the 2007 Series for the aggregate principal amount of
$365,000,000 may forthwith be executed by the Company and delivered to the
Trustee and shall be authenticated by the Trustee and delivered (either before
or after the filing or recording hereof) to or upon the order of the Company,
upon receipt by the Trustee of the resolutions, certificates, instruments and

ARTICLE III
REDEMPTION AND REPURCHASE UPON CHANGE OF CONTROL
SECTION 1. Optional Redemption.
(1) Optional Redemption. At any time, and from time to time, the Company
may redeem all or any portion of the Bonds of the 2007 Series, after giving the
required notice under the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to the greater
of:
(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of the 2007 Series to be
redeemed, or
-15-
(b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments
of principal and interest thereon discounted to the date of redemption on a
semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months) at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points,
plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption
date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to
receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).
"Treasury Rate" means, as of any redemption date, the yield to maturity as
of such redemption date of United States Treasury securities with a constant
maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve
Statistical Release H.15 (519) that has become publicly available at least two
business days prior to the redemption date (or, if such statistical release is
no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data)) most
nearly equal to the period from the redemption date to May 1, 2007; provided,
however, that if the period from the redemption date to May 1, 2007 is less than
one year, the weekly average yield on actively traded United States Treasury
securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used.
(2) Notice of Redemption. Subject to the provisions of Article V of the
Original Indenture, the Company shall cause notice of redemption to be given by
(1) first class mail, postage prepaid, at least thirty days and not more than
sixty days prior to the date of redemption, to the registered owners of such
Bonds of the 2007 Series at their addresses as the same shall appear on the
transfer register of the Company; and (2) stating, among other things, the
redemption price and date. No such redemption may be conditional once notice of
redemption is given.
SECTION 2. Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control.
(1) Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control. Upon the
occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined below), each holder of Bonds of
the 2007 Series shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or
any part of such holder's Bonds of the 2007 Series pursuant to the offer
described below (the "Change of Control") at a purchase price (the "Change of
Control Purchase Price") equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the purchase date. Capitalized terms
used in the definition of "Change of Control" used but not defined herein have
the meanings assigned to them in the Securities Resolution dated as of May 10,
2002 relating to the issuance of the Company's $400,000,000 Senior Notes 9 3/4%
Due 2007, a copy of which has been filed with the Trustee and is available upon
request.
"Change of Control" means the occurrence of any of the following events:
(a) if any "person" or "group" (as such terms are used in Sections
13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act or any successor provisions to either
of the foregoing), other than ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Industries, Inc., including any group
acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of
securities within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act,
becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange
Act, except that a person will be deemed to have "beneficial ownership" of
all shares that any such
-16-
person has the right to acquire, whether such right is exercisable
immediately or only after the passage of time), directly or indirectly, of
35% or more of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of the Company
(for purposes of this clause (a), such person or group shall be deemed to
beneficially own any Voting Stock of a corporation held by any other
corporation (the "parent corporation") so long as such person or group
beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, in the aggregate a majority of
the total voting power of the Voting Stock of such parent corporation); or
(b) the sale, transfer, assignment, lease, conveyance or other
disposition, directly or indirectly, of all or substantially all the assets
of the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary, considered as a whole (other
than a disposition of such assets as an entirety or virtually as an
entirety to a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary), shall have occurred, or
the Company merges, consolidates or amalgamates with or into any other
Person or any other Person merges, consolidates or amalgamates with or into
the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which the
outstanding Voting Stock of the Company is reclassified into or exchanged
for cash, securities or other Property, other than any such transaction
where:
(1) the outstanding Voting Stock of the Company is reclassified
into or exchanged for other Voting Stock of the Company or for Voting
Stock of the surviving corporation, and
(2) the holders of the Voting Stock of the Company immediately
prior to such transaction own, directly or indirectly, not less than a
majority of the Voting Stock of the Company or the surviving
corporation immediately after such transaction and in substantially
the same proportion as before the transaction; or
(c) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the
beginning of such period constituted the Board of Directors of the Company
(together with any new directors whose election or appointment by such
Board of Directors or whose nomination for election by the shareholders of
the Company was approved by a vote of not less than three-fourths of the
directors then still in office who were either directors at the beginning
of such period or whose election or nomination for election was previously
so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board of
Directors of the Company then in office; or
(d) the shareholders of the Company shall have approved any plan of
liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
Notwithstanding the above, the proposed merger of the Company with Public
Service Company of New Mexico shall not be deemed a Change of Control.
(2) Notice of Repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control,
the Company shall:
-17-
(a) cause a notice of the Change of Control Offer to be sent at least
once to the Dow ▇▇▇▇▇ News Service or similar business news service in the
United States; and
(b) send, by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each
holder of Bonds of the 2007 Series, at such holder's address appearing in
the security register, a notice stating:
(1) that a Change of Control has occurred and a Change of Control
Offer is being made pursuant to Article III, Section 2 of this
Supplemental Indenture, and that all Bonds of the 2007 Series timely
tendered will be accepted for payment;
(2) the Change of Control Purchase Price and the purchase date,
which shall, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law,
be a business day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from
the date such notice is mailed;
(3) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding the Change of
Control; and
(4) the procedures that holders of Bonds of the 2007 Series must
follow in order to tender their Bonds of the 2007 Series (or portions
thereof) for payment, and the procedures that holders of Bonds of the
2007 Series must follow in order to withdraw an election to tender
Bonds of the 2007 Series (or portions thereof) for payment.
(3) Compliance with Law. The Company will comply, to the extent applicable,
with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase
of Bonds of the 2007 Series pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent
that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the
provisions of the covenant set forth in Article III, Section 2 of this
Supplemental Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities
laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations
under the covenant set forth therein by virtue of such compliance.
ARTICLE IV
ADDITIONAL COVENANTS
The Company hereby covenants, warrants and agrees:
SECTION 1. That the Company is lawfully seized and possessed of all of the
mortgaged property described in the granting clauses of this Supplemental
Indenture; that it has good, right and lawful authority to mortgage the same as
provided in this Supplemental Indenture; and that such mortgaged property is, at
the actual date of the initial issue of the Bonds of the 2007 Series, free and
clear of any deed of trust, mortgage, lien, charge or encumbrance thereon or
affecting the title thereto prior to the Indenture, except as set forth in the
granting clauses of the Original Indenture, the
-18-
Twenty-Eighth Supplemental Indenture, the Thirtieth Supplemental Indenture, the
Thirty-First Supplemental Indenture, the Thirty-Second Supplemental Indenture or
this Supplemental Indenture.
SECTION 2. So long as any Bonds of any series originally issued prior to
January 1, 1997 are outstanding, in the event all or substantially all of the
electric properties shall have been released as an entirety from the lien of the
Original Indenture, the Company will, at any time or from time to time within
six months after the date of such release, retire Bonds outstanding under the
Original Indenture in an aggregate principal amount equal to the fair value of
the electric properties so released pursuant to Section 3 of Article VII of the
Original Indenture, as stated in the engineer's certificate required by Section
3(b) of said Article VII, and the proceeds of the electric properties so
released pursuant to Section 5 of said Article VII. Such retirement of Bonds
shall be effected in either one or both of the following methods:
(a) By the withdrawal pursuant to Section 2 of Article VIII of the
Original Indenture of any moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
Sections 3(d), 4(d) and 5 of Article VII of the Original Indenture upon

The Bonds to be so retired pursuant to this Section 3 shall include a
principal amount of Bonds of each Series then outstanding in the same ratio to
the aggregate principal amount of all Bonds so retired as the aggregate
principal amount of all Bonds of each Series outstanding immediately prior to
such release bears to the total principal amount of all Bonds then outstanding.
ARTICLE V

AND OF CERTAIN OTHER RATIOS. AMENDMENT TO NET EARNINGS
TEST. USE OF FACSIMILE SIGNATURES. AMENDMENT OF ARTICLE
XV. RESERVATION OF RIGHT TO AMEND ARTICLE VII
SECTION 1. So long as any of the Bonds of any series originally issued

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4 of Article III of the
Original Indenture, no Bonds shall be authenticated and delivered pursuant
to the provisions of Article III of the Original Indenture and issued upon
the basis of net bondable value of property additions for an aggregate
principal amount in excess of sixty percent (60%) of the net bondable value
of property additions not subject to an unfunded prior lien.
For the purposes of Subsections (e) and (f) of the definition of "net
bondable value of property additions not subject to an unfunded prior
lien," contained in Article I of the Original Indenture, and Subdivisions 8
and 9 of clause (a) of Section 4 of Article III of the Original
-19-
Indenture, in all computations made with respect to a period subsequent to

ten-sixths (10/6ths) of the respective amounts mentioned, in lieu of
ten-sevenths (10/7ths).
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3(a) of Article VIII of
the Original Indenture, no moneys received by the Trustee pursuant to
Section 5(a) of Article III of the Original Indenture shall be paid over by

and for the purposes of Section 3 of Article VII of the Original Indenture,
the amount of cash required to be deposited by the Company pursuant to
Subsection (d) of said Section 3 of Article VII shall not be reduced in an
amount in excess of sixty percent (60%) of the net bondable value of
property additions not subject to an unfunded prior lien.
(c) For the purposes of clauses (c) and (d) of the definition of "net
bondable value of property additions subject to an unfunded prior lien,"
contained in Article I of the Original Indenture, and Subsection 7 of
clause (a) of Section 4 of Article III of the Original Indenture, in all
computations made with respect to a period subsequent to April 1, 1949, the
deductions therein referred to shall in each case be ten-sixths (10/6ths)
of the respective amounts mentioned, in lieu of ten-sevenths (10/7ths).
(d) Subsection (a) of Section 14, clauses (1) and (2) of Subsection
(a) of Section 16 of Article IV and clause (1) of Subsection (b) of Section

where they appear in said provisions of the Original Indenture.
(e) The definition of the term "net earnings available for interest,
depreciation and property retirement," as contained in Article I of the
Original Indenture, shall be deemed to mean the net earnings of the Company
ascertained as follows:
1. The total operating revenues of the Company and the net
non-operating revenues of the properties of the Company shall be
ascertained.
2. From the total, determined as provided in Subsection (a),
there shall be deducted all operating expenses, including all
salaries, rentals, insurance, license and franchise fees, expenditures
for repairs and maintenance, taxes (other than income, excess profits
and other taxes measured by or dependent on net taxable income),
depreciation as shown on the books of the Company or an amount equal
to the minimum provision for depreciation as hereinafter defined,
whichever is greater, but excluding all property retirement
appropriations, all interest and sinking fund charges, amortization of
stock and debt discount and expense or premium and further excluding
any charges to income or otherwise for the amortization of plant or
property accounts or of amounts transferred therefrom.
3. The balance remaining after the deduction of the total amount
computed pursuant to Subsection (b) from the total amount computed
-20-
pursuant to Subsection (a) shall constitute the "net earnings of the
Company available for interest," provided that not more than fifteen
percent (15%) of the net earnings of the Company available for
interest may consist of the aggregate of (i) net non-operating income,
(ii) net earnings from mortgaged property other than property of the
character of property additions and (iii) net earnings from property
not subject to the lien of this Indenture.
4. No income received or accrued by the Company from securities
and no profits or losses of capital assets shall be included in making
the computations aforesaid.
5. In case the Company shall have acquired any acquired plant or
systems or shall have been consolidated or merged with any other
corporation, within or after the particular period for which the
calculation of net earnings of the Company available for interest,
depreciation and property retirement is made, then, in computing the
net earnings of the Company available for interest, depreciation and
property retirement, there may be included, to the extent they may not
have been otherwise included, the net earnings or net losses of such
acquired plant or system or of such other corporation, as the case may
be, for the whole of such period. The net earnings or net losses of
such property additions, or of such other corporation for the period
preceding such acquisition or such consolidation or merger, shall be
ascertained and computed as provided in the foregoing subsections of
this definition as if such acquired plant or system had been owned by
the Company during the whole of such period, or as if such other
corporation had been consolidated or merged with the Company prior to
the first day of such period.
6. In case the Company shall have obtained the release of any
property pursuant to Section 3 of Article VII of the Original
Indenture, of a fair value in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($500,000), as shown by the engineer's certificate required by said
Section 3, or shall have obtained the release of any property pursuant
to Section 5 of Article VII of the Original Indenture, the proceeds of
which shall have exceeded Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000),
within or after the particular period for which the calculation of net
earnings of the Company available for interest, depreciation and
property retirement is made, then, in computing the net earnings of
the Company available for interest, depreciation and property
retirement, the net earnings or net losses of such property for the
whole of such period shall be excluded to the extent practicable on
the basis of actual earnings and expenses of such property or on the
basis of such estimates of the earnings and expenses of such property
as the signers of an officers' certificate filed with the Trustee
pursuant to Section 3(b) of Article III or Section 16 of Article IV of
the Original Indenture shall deem proper.
The term "minimum charge for depreciation" as used herein shall mean
an amount equal to (a) fifteen percent (15%) of the total operating
revenues of the Company after deducting therefrom an amount equal to the
aggregate cost to the Company of electric energy, gas and water purchased
for resale to others and rentals paid for, or other payments made for the
use of, property owned by others and leased to or operated by the Company,
-21-
the maintenance of which and depreciation on which are borne by the owners,
less (b) an amount equal to the expenditures for maintenance and repairs to
the plants and property of the Company and included or reflected in its
operating expense accounts.
The terms "net earnings available for interest, depreciation and
property retirement" and "net earnings of another corporation available for
interest, depreciation and property retirement" as contained in Article I
of the Original Indenture, when used with respect to any property or with
respect to another corporation, shall mean the net earnings of such
property or the net earnings of such other corporation, as the case may be,
computed in the manner provided in Subsections (a), (b), (c) and (d)
hereof.
(f) Notwithstanding the provisions of clauses (1) and (2) of
subsection (b) of Article III, and Subsection (b) of Section 14 of Article
IV, and Subsection (b) of Section 16 of Article IV and clause (2) of
Subsection (b) of Section 1 of Article XII of the Original Indenture, the
computation of net earnings required therein shall be made as provided in
Subsection (e) of this Section 1, and the net earnings tests required in
said mentioned provisions of Articles III, IV and XII of the Original
Indenture shall be based on two times the annual interest charges described
in such provisions, instead of two and one-half times such charges, but
shall not otherwise affect such provisions or relieve from the requirements
therein pertaining to ten percent (10%) of the principal amount of Bonds
therein described.
SECTION 2. All of the Bonds of the 2007 Series and of any series initially
issued after the initial issuance of Bonds of the 2007 Series shall, from time
to time, be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board,
Chief Executive Officer, President or one of its Vice Presidents whose
signature, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12 of Article II of the
Original Indenture, may be by facsimile, and its corporate seal (which may be in
facsimile) shall be thereunto affixed and attested by its Secretary or one of
its Assistant Secretaries whose signature, notwithstanding the provisions of the
aforesaid Section 12, may be by facsimile.
In case any of the officers who have signed or sealed any of the Bonds of
the 2007 Series or of any series initially issued after the initial issuance of
Bonds of the 2007 Series manually or by facsimile shall cease to be such
officers of the Company before such Bonds so signed and sealed shall have been
actually authenticated by the Trustee or delivered by the Company, such Bonds
nevertheless may be authenticated, issued and delivered with the same force and
effect as though the person or persons who so signed or sealed such Bonds had
not ceased to be such officer or officers of the Company; and also any such
Bonds may be signed or sealed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the
Company by such persons as at the actual date of the execution of any of such
Bonds shall be the proper officers of the Company, although at the nominal date
of any such Bond any such person shall not have been such officer of the
Company.
SECTION 3. The Company reserves the right subject to appropriate corporate
action, but without the consent or other action of holders of bonds of any
series created after January 1, 1997, to make such amendments to the Original
Indenture, as supplemented, as shall be necessary in order to amend Article VII
