WARRANT
AGREEMENT

 

This
Warrant Agreement (“Warrant Agreement”) is made as of [__________] [__], 2021, by and between Qomolangma Acquisition
Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (the “Warrant
Agent”).

 

WHEREAS,
the Company is engaged in a public offering (the “Public Offering”) of 5,000,000 units (the “Public Units”)
of the Company (and up to 750,000 additional Public Units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full), each
Public Unit consisting of one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), one right (“Right”)
to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of Common Stock upon the consummation of an initial business combination, and one warrant (the
“Public Warrant” or “Public Warrants”), each Public Warrant entitling its holder to purchase one-half
of one share of Common Stock (the “Public Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share;

 

WHEREAS,
the Company has received a binding commitment from Qomolangma Investments LLC (the “Sponsor”) and Ladenburg Thalmann
& Co. Inc. (the “Representative”) to purchase an aggregate of 235,500 units (or 256,125 units if the over-allotment
option is exercised in full) in a private placement that will close simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering, bearing the
legend set forth in Exhibit B hereto (collectively, the “Private Units” and together with the Public Units, the “Units”),
each Private Unit consisting of one share of Common Stock, one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of Common Stock upon the
consummation of an initial business combination and one warrant (the “Private Warrant”), with each Private Warrant
entitling its holder to purchase one-half of a share of Common Stock (the “Private Warrant Shares” and collectively
with the Public Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share;

 

WHEREAS,
following consummation of the Public Offering, the Company may issue additional warrants (“Post IPO Warrants” and
collectively with the Public Warrants and the Private Warrants, the “Warrants”) in connection with, or following the
consummation by the Company of, an initial business combination;

 

WHEREAS,
the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Registration Statement on Form S-1,
No. 333-[__] (“Registration Statement”), for the registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”)
of, among other securities, the Public Warrants;

 

WHEREAS,
the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing to so act, in connection with
the issuance, registration, transfer, exchange, redemption and exercise of the Warrants;

 

WHEREAS,
the Company desires to provide for the form, terms and provisions of the Warrants, including the terms upon which they shall be issued
and exercised, and the respective rights, limitation of rights and immunities of the Company, the Warrant Agent and the holders of the
Warrants; and

 

WHEREAS,
all acts and things have been done and performed which are necessary to make the Warrants, when executed on behalf of the Company and
countersigned by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent, as provided herein, the legally valid and binding obligations of the Company, and
to authorize the execution and delivery of this Warrant Agreement.

 

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

 

		1.	Appointment
of Warrant Agent. The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company for the Warrants, and the Warrant Agent
hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the same in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant
Agreement.

 

     

     

    

 

		2.	Warrants.

  

	 	2.1	Form
    of Warrant. Each Warrant shall be: (a) issued in registered form only, (b) in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto,
    the provisions of which are incorporated herein and (c) signed by, or bear the facsimile signature of, the Chairman of the Board,
    the Chief Executive Officer, the President, a Vice President, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer, an Assistant Treasurer,
    the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company. In the event the person whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any
    Warrant shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such person signed the Warrant before such Warrant is issued, it may
    be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance.

 

	 	2.2	Effect
    of Countersignature. Unless and until countersigned by the Warrant Agent pursuant to this Warrant Agreement, a Warrant shall
    be invalid and of no effect and may not be exercised by the holder thereof.

 

	 	2.3	Registration.

 

	 	2.3.1	Warrant
    Register. The Warrant Agent shall maintain books (the “Warrant Register”), for the registration of the original
    issuance and transfers of the Warrants. Upon the initial issuance of the Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall issue and register the
    Warrants in the names of the respective holders thereof in such denominations and otherwise in accordance with instructions delivered
    to the Warrant Agent by the Company.

 

	 	2.3.2	Registered
    Holder. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and
    treat the person in whose name such Warrant shall be registered upon the Warrant Register (“Registered Holder”)
    as the absolute owner of such Warrant and of each Warrant represented thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other
    writing on the Warrant certificate made by anyone other than the Company or the Warrant Agent), for the purpose of any exercise thereof,
    and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

	 	2.4	Detachability
    of Warrants. Each of the Common Stock, Rights and Warrants comprising the Units will begin to trade separately on (i) the 52nd
    day after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or (ii) such earlier date as the Representative shall determine
    is acceptable (such date, the “Detachment Date”). In no event will separate trading of the securities comprising
    the Units commence until the Company (i) files a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC including an audited balance sheet reflecting
    our receipt of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering and (ii) issues a press release announcing when such separate trading will
    begin.

 

	 	2.5	Private
    Warrants. The Private Warrants will be identical to the Public Warrants, except that (i) the Private Warrants shall be subject
    to the transfer restrictions specified in Section 5.7 hereof, (ii) the holders of the Private Warrants shall be entitled to registration
    rights with respect to the Private Warrants and the underlying shares of Common Stock pursuant to a registration rights agreement
    entered into by the Company and certain investors on the date hereof, and (iii) so long as the Private Warrants are held by the Sponsor or its Permitted Transferees,
    they may not be exercised more than five years from the date hereof.

 

	 	2.6	Post-IPO
    Warrants. The Post IPO Warrants, when and if issued, shall have the same terms and be in the same form as the Public Warrants
    except as may be agreed upon by the Company.

		3.	Terms
and Exercise of Warrants.

 

	 	3.1	Warrant
    Price. Each Warrant shall, when countersigned by the Warrant Agent, entitle the Registered Holder thereof, subject to the provisions
    of such Warrant and of this Warrant Agreement, to purchase from the Company the number of shares of Common Stock stated therein,
    at $11.50 per whole share, subject to the adjustments provided in Section 4 hereof. The term “Warrant Price” as
    used in this Warrant Agreement refers to the price per whole share at which Common Stock may be purchased at the time such Warrant
    is exercised. The Company will not issue fractional shares. As a result, such Registered Holder must exercise Warrants in multiples
    of two Warrants for one full Warrant Share at the Warrant Price (subject to adjustment) in order to validly exercise his, her or
    its Warrants.

 

	 	3.2	Duration
    of Warrants. A Warrant may be exercised only during the period (“Exercise Period”) commencing on the later
    to occur of (i) 30 days following the completion of the Company’s initial business combination and (ii) 12 months following
    the closing of the Public Offering, and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the earlier to occur of (i) five years following
    the completion of the Company’s initial business combination and (ii) the date fixed for redemption of the Warrants as provided
    in Section 6 of this Warrant Agreement (“Expiration Date”). Except with respect to the right to receive the Redemption
    Price (as set forth in Section 6 hereunder), each Warrant not exercised on or before the Expiration Date shall become void, and all
    rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Warrant Agreement shall cease at the close of business on the Expiration
    Date. The Company may extend the duration of the Warrants by delaying the Expiration Date; provided, however, that the Company will
    provide written notice of not less than [__] days to Registered Holders of such extension and that such extension shall be identical
    in duration among all of the then outstanding Warrants.

 

	 	3.3	Exercise
    of Warrants.

 

	 	3.3.1	Cash
    Exercise. Subject to the provisions of the Warrant and this Warrant Agreement, a Warrant, when countersigned by the Company,
    may be exercised by the Registered Holder thereof by surrendering it at the office of the Warrant Agent, or at the office of its
    successor as Warrant Agent, currently being:

 

American
Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC

[__]

[__]

Attn: [__]

 

with
the subscription form, as set forth in the Warrant, duly executed, and by paying in full, in lawful money of the United States, by certified
or bank cashier’s check payable to the order of the Warrant Agent or by wire transfer to the Warrant Agent’s [__] bank account,
the Warrant Price for each whole Warrant Share as to which the Warrant is exercised and any and all applicable taxes due in connection
with the exercise of the Warrant, the exchange of the Warrant for the Warrant Shares, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares (such exercise,
a “Cash Exercise”). A Cash Exercise in accordance with this Section 3.3.1 is available to the Registered Holder only
during such times that there is an effective registration statement registering the Warrant Shares, with the prospectus contained therein
being available for the resale of the Warrant Shares.

 

    - 3 -

     

    

 

	 	3.3.2	Cashless
    Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if there is no effective registration statement registering
    the Warrant Shares on any day the Registered Holder desires to exercise the Warrants and more than [__] days have passed since the
    Company completed its initial business combination, the Registered Holder may exercise the Warrants in whole or in part in lieu of
    making a cash payment for whole numbers of Warrant Shares, by providing notice to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company in a
    subscription form of its election to utilize cashless exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Registered Holder the
    number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:

 

X
= Y [(A-B)/A]

 

where:

 

X
= the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Registered Holder.

 

Y
= the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised.

 

A
= the fair market value of one share of Common Stock.

 

B
= the Warrant Price.

 

The
Registered Holder may not exercise any Warrants in the absence of a registration statement except pursuant to this Section 3.3.2.
For purposes of this Section 3.3.2 and Section 4.1, the fair market value of one share of Common Stock is defined as follows:

 

(i)
if the Company’s Common Stock is listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American, the NASDAQ Global Select
Market, the NASDAQ Global Market or the NASDAQ Capital Market (each, a “Trading Market”), the fair market value shall
be deemed the average of the closing price on such Trading Market for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day immediately
prior to the date the subscription form is submitted to the Company in connection with the exercise of the Warrant; or

 

(ii)
if the Company’s Common Stock is not listed on a Trading Market, but is traded in the over-the-counter market, the fair market
value shall be deemed to be the average of the bid price on such Trading Market for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day
immediately prior to the date the subscription form is submitted in connection with the exercise of the Warrant; or

 

(iii)
if there is no active public market for the Company’s Common Stock, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be determined
in good faith by the Company’s board of directors.

 

	 	3.3.3	Fractional
    Shares. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Warrant Agreement, the Company shall not be required
    to issue any fraction of a Warrant Share in connection with the exercise of Warrants, and in any case where the Registered Holder
    would be entitled under the terms of the Warrants to receive a fraction of a Warrant Share upon the exercise of such Registered Holder’s
    Warrants, issue or cause to be issued only the largest whole number of Warrant Shares issuable on such exercise (and such fraction
    of a Warrant Share will be disregarded); provided, that if more than one Warrant certificate is presented for exercise at the same
    time by the same Registered Holder, the number of whole Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof shall be
    computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrant Shares issuable on exercise of all such Warrants.

 

    - 4 -

     

    

 

		3.3.4	Issuance
of Certificates. No later than three (3) business days following the exercise of any Warrant and the clearance of the funds in payment
of the Warrant Price pursuant to Section 3.3.1 or cashless exercise pursuant to Section 3.3.2, the Company shall issue, or cause to be
issued, to the Registered Holder of such Warrant a certificate or certificates representing (or at the option of the Registered Holder,
deliver electronically through the facilities of the Depository Trust Corporation) the number of full shares of Common Stock to which
he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it, and, if such Warrant shall not have
been exercised or surrendered in full, a new countersigned Warrant for the number of shares as to which such Warrant shall not have been
exercised or surrendered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not deliver, or cause to be delivered, any securities without
applicable restrictive legend pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant unless (a) a registration statement under the Act with respect to
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is available for delivery to the Registered Holder of the Warrant or (b) in the opinion
of counsel to the Company, the exercise of the Warrants is exempt from the registration requirements of the Act and such securities are
qualified for sale or exempt from qualification under applicable securities laws of the states or other jurisdictions in which the Registered
Holder resides. Warrants may not be exercised by, or securities issued to, any Registered Holder in any state in which such exercise
or issuance would be unlawful. In addition, in no event will the Company be obligated to pay such Registered Holder any cash consideration
upon exercise or otherwise “net cash settle” the Warrant.

 

	 	3.3.5	Valid
    Issuance. All shares of Common Stock issued upon the proper exercise or surrender of a Warrant in conformity with this Warrant
    Agreement shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

	 	3.3.6	Date
    of Issuance. Each person or entity in whose name any such certificate for shares of Common Stock is issued shall, for all purposes,
    be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered and payment of the
    Warrant Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and
    payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder
    of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.

 

		3.3.7	Maximum
Percentage. A holder of a Warrant may notify the Company in writing in the event it elects to be subject to the provisions contained
in this subsection 3.3.7; however, no holder of a Warrant shall be subject to this subsection 3.3.7 unless he, she or it makes such election.
If the election is made by a holder, the Warrant Agent shall not effect the exercise of the holder’s Warrant, and such holder shall
not have the right to exercise such Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such
person’s affiliates), to the Warrant Agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 9.8% (or such other amount
as such person may specify) (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after
giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned
by such person and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant with respect
to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon (x) exercise
of the remaining, unexercised portion of the Warrant beneficially owned by such person and its affiliates and (y) exercise or conversion
of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such person and its affiliates
(including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred shares or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion
or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph,
beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”). For purposes of the Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the holder may rely on
the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly
report on Form 10-Q, current report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement
by the Company, or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Warrant Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.
For any reason at any time, upon the written request of the holder of the Warrant, the Company shall, within two (2) business days, confirm
orally and in writing to such holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares
of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of equity securities of the Company by the holder
and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the
Company, the holder of a Warrant may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage applicable to such holder to any other
percentage specified in such notice; provided, however, that any such increase shall not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day
after such notice is delivered to the Company.

		4.	Adjustments.

 

	 	4.1	Stock
    Dividends, Splits. If, after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.5 below, the number of outstanding shares
    of Common Stock is increased or decreased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a forward or reverse split
    of shares of Common Stock, or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split or similar event, the
    number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be increased or decreased in proportion to such increase
    or decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock. A rights offering to all holders of the shares of Common Stock entitling holders
    to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price less than the Fair Market Value shall be deemed a stock dividend of a number of shares
    of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable
    under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for the shares of Common
    Stock) multiplied by (ii) one (1) minus the quotient of (x) the price per share of Common Stock paid in such rights offering divided
    by (y) the fair market value. For purposes of this subsection 4.1, (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into
    or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, in determining the price payable for the shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken
    into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion, and
    (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of shares of Common Stock as reported during the ten (10) trading
    day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the shares of Common Stock trade on the applicable Trading
    Market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

 

	 	4.2	Aggregation
    of Shares. If, after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.6, the number of outstanding shares of Common
    Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event (other than
    a change covered by Section 4.1), then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reclassification or similar event,
    the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding
    shares of Common Stock.

 

		4.3	Extraordinary
Dividends. If the Company, at any time while the Warrants (or rights to purchase the Warrants) are outstanding and unexpired, shall
pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of the Common Stock on account of such Common
Stock (or other shares of the Company’s capital stock into which the Warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described in
subsection 4.1 above, (b) Ordinary Cash Dividends (as defined below), (c) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of the Common
Stock in connection with a proposed initial business combination, (d) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of the Common Stock
in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance
or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the shares of Common Stock if the Company does not complete an initial
business combination within 12 months from the closing of the Public Offering (or up to 21 months from the closing of the Public Offering
if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a business combination, as described in more detail in the Registration Statement)
or (e) in connection with the redemption of the Common Stock upon the Company’s failure to consummate a business combination (any
such non-excluded event being referred to herein as an “Extraordinary Dividend”), then the Warrant Price shall be decreased,
effective immediately after the effective date of such Extraordinary Dividend, by the amount of cash and the fair market value (as determined
by the Company’s board of directors, in good faith) of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Common Stock in respect
of such Extraordinary Dividend. For purposes of this subsection 4.3, “Ordinary Cash Dividends” means any cash dividend or
cash distribution which, when combined on a per share basis with the per share amounts of all other cash dividends and cash distributions
paid on the Common Stock during the 365-day period ending on the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution (as adjusted to
appropriately reflect any of the events referred to in other subsections of this Section 4 and excluding cash dividends or cash distributions
that resulted in an adjustment to the Warrant Price or to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant)
does not exceed $0.50 (being 5% of the offering price of the Units in the Offering).

 

    - 6 -

     

    

 

	 	4.4	Adjustments
    in Exercise Price. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants is adjusted, as
    provided in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 above, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such Warrant Price,
    immediately prior to such adjustment, by a fraction, (a) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
    upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares
    of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

 

	 	4.5	Replacement
    of Securities upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common
    Stock (other than a change covered by Sections 4.1 or 4.2 hereof or one that solely affects the par value of such shares of Common
    Stock), or, in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation
    or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of
    the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or, in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets
    or other property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, in connection with which the Company is dissolved,
    the Registered Holders shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions
    specified in the Warrants and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable
    upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including
    cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale
    or transfer, that the Registered Holder would have received if such Registered Holder had exercised his, her or its Warrant(s) immediately
    prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results in a change in shares of Common Stock covered by Sections 4.1 or 4.2,
    then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and this Section 4.4. The provisions of this Section 4.5 shall
    similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers.

 

	 	4.6	Notices
    of Changes in Warrant. Upon every adjustment of the Warrant Price or the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant,
    the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Warrant Agent, which notice shall state the Warrant Price resulting from such
    adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of a Warrant,
    setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Upon the occurrence
    of any event specified in Sections 4.1 – 4.5 the Company shall give written notice to each Registered Holder, at the last address
    set forth for such Registered Holder in the Warrant Register, of the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure to give
    such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.

 

    - 7 -

     

    

 

	 	4.7	Form
    of Warrant. The form of Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4, and Warrants issued
    after such adjustment may state the same Warrant Price and the same number of shares as is stated in the Warrants initially issued
    pursuant to this Warrant Agreement. However, the Company may, at any time, in its sole discretion, make any change in the form of
    Warrant that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof, and any Warrant thereafter issued or
    countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.

 

	 	4.8	Notice
    of Certain Transactions. In the event that the Company shall (a) offer to holders of all its Common Stock rights to subscribe
    for or to purchase any securities convertible into shares of Common Stock or shares of stock of any class or any other securities,
    rights or options, (b) issue any rights, options or warrants entitling all the holders of Common Stock to subscribe for shares of
    Common Stock, or (c) make a tender offer, redemption offer or exchange offer with respect to the Common Stock, the Company shall
    send to the Registered Holders a notice of such action or offer. Such notice shall be mailed to the Registered Holders at their addresses
    as they appear in the Warrant Register, which shall specify the record date for the purposes of such dividend, distribution or rights,
    or the date such issuance or event is to take place and the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, if any
    such date is to be fixed, and shall briefly indicate the effect of such action on the Common Stock and on the number and kind of
    any other shares of stock and on other property, if any, and the number of shares of Common Stock and other property, if any, issuable
    upon exercise of each Warrant and the Warrant Price after giving effect to any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 which would
    be required as a result of such action. Such notice shall be given as promptly as practicable after the Company has taken any such
    action.

 

	 	4.9	Other
    Events. In case any event shall occur affecting the Company as to which none of the provisions of preceding subsections of this
    Section 4 are strictly applicable, but which would require an adjustment to the terms of the Warrants in order to (i) avoid an adverse
    impact on the Warrants and (ii) effectuate the intent and purpose of this Section 4, then, in each such case, the Company shall appoint
    a firm of independent public accountants, investment banking or other appraisal firm of recognized national standing, which shall
    give its opinion as to whether or not any adjustment to the rights represented by the Warrants is necessary to effectuate the intent
    and purpose of this Section 4 and, if such firm determines that an adjustment is necessary, the terms of such adjustment. The Company
    shall adjust the terms of the Warrants in a manner that is consistent with any adjustment recommended in such opinion.

 

		5.	Transfer
and Exchange of Warrants.

 

	 	5.1	Transfer
    of Warrants. Prior to the Detachment Date, the Warrants may be transferred or exchanged only together with any Unit in which
    such Warrant is included, and only for the purpose of effecting, or in conjunction with, a transfer or exchange of such Unit. Furthermore,
    each transfer of a Unit on the register relating to such Units shall operate also to transfer the Warrants included in such Unit.
    From and after the Detachment Date, this Section 5.1 will have no further force and effect.

 

	 	5.2	Registration
    of Transfer. The Warrant Agent shall register the transfer, from time to time, of any outstanding Warrant into the Warrant Register,
    upon surrender of such Warrant for transfer, properly endorsed with signatures properly guaranteed and accompanied by appropriate
    instructions for transfer. Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants shall be issued
    and the old Warrant shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. The Warrants so cancelled shall be delivered by the Warrant Agent to
    the Company from time to time upon the Company’s request.

	 	5.3	Procedure
    for Surrender of Warrants. Warrants may be surrendered to the Warrant Agent, together with a written request for exchange or
    transfer, and, thereupon, the Warrant Agent shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new Warrants as requested by the Registered
    Holder of the Warrants so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants; provided, however, that, in the event
    a Warrant surrendered for transfer bears a restrictive legend, the Warrant Agent shall not cancel such Warrant and shall issue new
    Warrants in exchange therefor until the Warrant Agent has received an opinion of counsel for the Company stating that such transfer
    may be made and indicating whether the new Warrants must also bear a restrictive legend.

 

	 	5.4	Fractional
    Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer or exchange which will result in the
    issuance of a warrant certificate for a fraction of a warrant.

 

	 	5.5	Service
    Charges. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Warrants.

 

	 	5.6	Warrant
    Execution and Countersignature. The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to countersign and to deliver, in accordance with the
    terms of this Warrant Agreement, the Warrants required to be issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5, and the Company,
    whenever required by the Warrant Agent, will supply the Warrant Agent with Warrants duly executed on behalf of the Company for such
    purpose.

 

	 	5.7	Private
    Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall not register any transfer of Private Warrants until 30 days after the consummation by the Company
    of an initial business combination, except for transfers (i) among the initial stockholders or to the initial stockholders’
    or the Company’s officers, directors, consultants, members, family members or their affiliates, (ii) to a holder’s stockholders
    or members upon the holder’s liquidation, in each case if the holder is an entity, (iii) by bona fide gift to a member of the
    holder’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is the holder or a member of the holder’s immediate
    family or an affiliate of such person, or to a charitable organization, (iv) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon
    death, (v) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, (vi) to the Company for no value for cancellation in connection with
    the consummation of a business combination, (vii) in connection with the consummation of a business combination by private sales
    at prices no greater than the price at which the Private Warrants were originally purchased, (viii) in the event of the Company’s
    liquidation prior to its consummation of an initial business combination, (ix) in the event that, subsequent to the consummation
    of an initial business combination, the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which
    results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities
    or other property, or (x) by virtue of the laws of the State of Delaware or our Sponsor’s organizational or governing documents
    upon dissolution of our Sponsor, in each case (except for clauses (vi), (viii) or (ix) or with the Company’s prior written
    consent) on the condition that prior to such registration for transfer, the Warrant Agent shall be presented with written documentation
    pursuant to which each transferee (each, a “Permitted Transferee”) or the trustee or legal guardian for such transferee
    agrees to be bound by the transfer restrictions contained in this section and any other applicable agreement the transferor is bound
    by.

    Subject to the second sentence of this Section 6.1, all (and not less than all) of the outstanding Warrants may be redeemed, in whole
    and not in part, at the option of the Company, at any time from and after the Warrants become exercisable, and prior to their expiration,
    at the office of the Warrant Agent, upon the notice referred to in Section 6.2, at the price of $0.01 per Warrant (“Redemption
    Price”); provided that the last sales price of the Common Stock has been equal to or greater than $18.00 per share (subject
    to adjustment for splits, dividends, recapitalizations and other similar events), for any twenty (20) trading days within a thirty
    (30) trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given and provided further
    that there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants for each
    day in the aforementioned 30-day trading period and continuing each day thereafter until the Redemption Date (defined below). If
    and when the Warrants become redeemable by the Company under this Section, the Company may not exercise its redemption right if it
    is unable to register or qualify the Warrant Shares for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

 

		6.2	Date
Fixed for, and Notice of, Redemption. In the event the Company shall elect to redeem all of the Warrants, the Company shall fix a
date for the redemption (the “Redemption Date”). Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail, postage
prepaid, by the Company not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Registered Holders of the Warrants to be
redeemed at their last addresses as they shall appear on the Warrant Register. Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall
be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Registered Holder received such notice.

 

	 	6.3	Exercise
    After Notice of Redemption. The Warrants may be exercised in accordance with Section 3 of this Warrant Agreement at any time
    after notice of redemption shall have been given by the Company pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof and prior to the Redemption Date;
    provided that the Company may require the Registered Holder who desires to exercise the Warrant to elect cashless exercise as set
    forth under Section 3.3.2, and such Registered Holder must exercise the Warrants on a cashless basis if the Company so requires.
    On and after the Redemption Date, the Registered Holder of the Warrants shall have no further rights except to receive, upon surrender
    of the Warrants, the Redemption Price.

 

	 	6.4	No
    Other Rights to Cash Payment. Except for a redemption in accordance with this Section 6, no Registered Holder of any Warrant
    shall be entitled to any cash payment whatsoever from the Company in connection with the ownership, exercise or surrender of any
    Warrant under this Warrant Agreement.

 

		7.	Other
Provisions Relating to Rights of Registered Holders of Warrants.

 

	 	7.1	No
    Rights as Stockholder. A Warrant does not entitle the Registered Holder thereof to any of the rights of a stockholder of the
    Company, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends, or other distributions, exercise any preemptive rights to
    vote or to consent or to receive notice as stockholders in respect of the meetings of stockholders or the election of directors of
    the Company or any other matter.

 

	 	7.2	Lost,
    Stolen Mutilated or Destroyed Warrants. If any Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company and the Warrant Agent
    may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as they may in their discretion impose (which terms shall, in the case of a mutilated
    Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination, tenor and date as the Warrant so lost, stolen,
    mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not
    the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

 

	 	7.3	Reservation
    of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued shares of
    Common Stock that will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to this Warrant Agreement.

 

	 	7.4	Registration
    of Common Stock. The Company agrees that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) business days after
    the closing of a business combination, it shall use its best efforts to file with the SEC, and within sixty (60) business days after
    the closing of a business combination to have declared effective, a registration statement for the registration under the Act of
    the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the
    effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Warrants in
    accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. In addition, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to register the shares
    of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants under state blue sky laws, to the extent an exemption is not available.

    of the Warrant Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company shall appoint, in writing, a successor
    Warrant Agent in place of the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of thirty (30) days
    after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the Warrant Agent or by the Registered Holder of the Warrant

    or state authorities. After appointment, any successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities,
    duties and obligations of its predecessor Warrant Agent with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, without
    any further act or deed; but, if for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the predecessor Warrant Agent shall execute
    and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument transferring to such successor Warrant Agent all the authority, powers,
    and rights of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and, upon request of any successor Warrant Agent, the Company shall make,
    execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to
    such successor Warrant Agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations.

    or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party shall be the successor
    Warrant Agent under this Warrant Agreement without any further act on the part of the Company or the Warrant Agent.

	 	8.4.3	Exclusions.
    The Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the validity of this Warrant Agreement or with respect to the validity

    in or to any distribution of the Trust Account (as defined in that certain Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of the
    date hereof, by and between the Company and the Warrant Agent as trustee thereunder) and hereby agrees not to seek recourse, reimbursement,
    payment or satisfaction for any Claim against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever.

 AVANGRID, Inc. Amended and Restated Executive Variable Pay Plan 

Effective January 1, 2022 
  

 
  

	I.	 PLAN OVERVIEW 

The objective of the AVANGRID, Inc. Amended and Restated Executive Variable Pay Plan (the “Plan”) is to provide executives of
AVANGRID, Inc. (the “Company”) and its Affiliates (defined below) with the opportunity to earn annual incentive compensation through engagement in promoting the Company’s objectives. Exceptional performance will further the future
growth and success of the Company and enhance the linkage between employee, rate payer and shareholder interests. Incentive compensation under the Plan is linked to the attainment of specific, predetermined, quantifiable objectives (the
“Objectives”) that reflect the Company’s corporate interests, strategic objectives and, in some cases, individual business performance. It is intended that this Plan drive accountability for performance as well as teamwork. 

The Plan consists of an “Incentive Award” payment calculated as a Target Incentive Award Percentage (defined in Section III.F), times
the Incentive Factor (defined in Section III.G), times annualized base salary (prorated for less than a full year of participation) at the end of the Performance Period, adjusted by a cumulative Achievement Percentage (defined in Section III) based
on the range of achievement from 0% to 100% at which weighted Objectives (defined in Section III) are achieved. 
 THE PLAN IS ESTABLISHED
UNDER THE AVANGRID, INC. AMENDED AND RESTATED OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN (THE “OMNIBUS PLAN”) AND IS SUBJECT TO ALL OF THE APPLICABLE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE OMNIBUS PLAN. 

 

	II.	 PERFORMANCE PERIOD AND EFFECTIVE DATE 

The “Performance Period” is the period commencing January 1 and ending December 31 of the same calendar year for which
performance is being measured. The Plan, as amended and restated, is effective as of January 1, 2022. 
  

	III.	 PLAN COMPONENTS 

The Company, Business Area, Corporate Function, and Individual Business Objectives will be defined for each Performance Period; provided that
each Objective shall be limited to the performance criteria (and permitted adjustments) set forth in the Omnibus Plan. For each of these sections, a certain number of Objectives will be set, typically no more than six (6). Each Objective will be
assigned a relative weight within the section. Objective achievement will be subject to a linear model of assessment, with the range of achievement level from 0% to 100%. 

To calculate an Incentive Award for a Participant, the Participant’s achievement percentage determined as provided in subsection D below
will be multiplied by the relative weight for each Objective in subsection E below to produce a cumulative “Achievement Percentage.” The cumulative Achievement Percentage will be multiplied by the product of the Participant’s Target
Incentive Award Percentage times the Participant’s Incentive Factor times the Participant’s annual base salary as of the last day of the Performance Period. The Incentive Award will be rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Expressed as a
formula: ACHIEVEMENT % (0-100) APPLIED TO THE PRODUCT OF ((TARGET % X INCENTIVE FACTOR) X SALARY on December 31) = INCENTIVE AWARD 
  

	 	A.	 The Objectives will be economic/financial, industrial, and operational in nature, aligned with Company goals.
Objectives will be set and approved at such time(s) as may be determined by the Administrator (generally expected within the first 90 days of each Performance Period). The Objectives will be specific,
pre-established, and measurable in economic/financial terms, production units, timeframes, and other relevant metrics. Certain Objectives may require evaluation by the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”)
of the Company, the board of directors of Avangrid Networks, Inc., the board of managers of Avangrid Renewables, LLC, or by other key stakeholders, as the case may be. Objectives are subject to adjustment from time to time as may be determined by
the Administrator. The Administrator is authorized, in its sole discretion, to adjust or modify the calculation of an Objective for a Performance Period in connection with one or more of the events set forth in Section 11(bb)(ii) of the Omnibus
Plan. 

  

	 	B.	 The Objectives will be set as follows: 

 

	 	(1)	 Company. Company Objectives will be set for all Participants. For each Performance Period, the
Administrator will determine the Company Objectives applicable for such Performance Period and ensure alignment with the Company’s strategic plan. This includes defining measurement indicators, weighting, and expected levels of achievement. The
Company Objectives for each Performance Period will be proposed by the CEO and approved by the Administrator. 

  

	 	(2)	 Business Area/Corporate Function. Business Area or Corporate Function Objectives will be set for all
Participants except the CEO. The Plan’s Business Area and Corporate Function Objectives, which correspond to the relevant Business Areas or Corporate Function of the Company for each Performance Period will be developed by the respective
Business Area or Corporate Function leader with guidance from Human Resources. Such Objectives should be reflective of the Company Objectives. These Objectives will apply to the Business Area or Corporate Function leader for each area. Other
Participants in the relevant Business Area or Corporate Function will have the same Business Area or Corporate Function Objectives as the Business Area or Corporate Function leader to which he or she reports, with exceptions as appropriate and
subject to the necessary approvals for such Business Area or Corporate Function Objectives. Upon a recommendation of the Company’s Chief Human Resources Officer (“CHRO”), the Business Area and Corporate Function Objectives will be
subject to approval by the CEO and the Business Area Objectives will be subject to approval of the board of directors of Avangrid Networks, Inc. and the board of managers of Avangrid Renewables, LLC, as the case may be. The Corporate Function
Objectives and, upon the recommendation of such governance bodies with respect to the Business Area Objectives, will be presented by the CHRO to the Administrator for approval. 

 

	 	(3)	 Individual Business (Own Objectives). Individual Business Objectives will be set for Vice Presidents
reporting to Management Committee (“MC”) members. Individual Business Objectives should be related to the individual functions and responsibilities of the Participant and will link to the applicable Business Area or Corporate Function
Objectives. The focus of these Objectives is not the individual development of the Participant. There should typically be no more than 6 objectives. Individual Business Objectives will be established by the Business Area or Corporate Function
leaders in conjunction with each of their direct reports with guidance from Human Resources, subject to approval by the CEO and, with respect to the Company’s executive officers, unless otherwise determined, the Administrator.

by the AVANGRID Board of Directors. 

  

	 	(5)	 Discretionary Assessment by the AGR CEO. Evaluation for the Performance Period as established and
assessed by the AVANGRID CEO. 

  

	 	C.	 The Objective achievement levels for each Participant for each Performance Period are to be established as of
the first day of the Performance Period, or as of the Participant’s initial eligibility date, whichever is later. Performance Objectives for individuals who become eligible to participate in the Plan while the yearly Performance Period is in
progress are to be established as soon as practicable, generally within 30 days after such new Participant became eligible. If a Participant changes Business Area or Corporate Functions during a Performance Period, the Incentive Award payable under
the Plan will be prorated based on length of participation, measured in days, as an employee in each Business Area or Corporate Function. 

  

	 	D.	 Achievement for each Objective will be measured on a scale of 0% to 100%. Intermediate results will be
calculated by liner interpolation.

	 	E.	 “Achievement Percentage” of the objectives will be subject to the following weights out of 1,000

	 	F.	 A Participant’s “Target Incentive Award Percentage” is determined by Human Resources and varies
per job. If a Participant’s Target Incentive Award Percentage or salary changes during a Performance Period, the Incentive Award payable under the Plan will be prorated based on length of participation at each salary and/or Target Incentive
Award Percentage, measured in days. 

  

	 	G.	 The “Incentive Factor” is 200% for all Participants unless designated otherwise by the Administrator.

  

	 	H.	 In order for a Participant to receive an Incentive Award for a Performance Period: 

 

	 	(1)	 The result of the Company objective achievement must be greater than 0%. 

 

	 	(2)	 The result of the Participant’s relevant Business Area or Corporate Function objectives achievement must
be greater than 0%. 

  

	 	(3)	 The result of the Participant’s Individual Business objectives must be greater than 0%.

  

	IV.	 PLAN ELIGIBILITY 

Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, eligibility for participation in the Plan is limited to the CEO, MC Members, and Vice
President equivalent or above who report to MC members at the Company. An employee who has satisfied the eligibility requirements of this Section IV is a “Participant.” For purposes of the Plan, “Affiliate” means (a) any
entity that is controlled by the Company, (b) a commonly controlled trade or business within the meaning of Sections 414(b) or (c) of the Code, or (c) Iberdrola, S.A. or any other entity in which Iberdrola S.A. has a direct or
indirect ownership interest of 20% or more, and whose inclusion in the group of companies controlled by Iberdrola, S.A., for the purpose of its business strategy, is considered appropriate by the Administrator. 

  
 4 

 Individuals who are participants in any other annual incentive compensation plan provided by
the Company or any of its Affiliates are not eligible to participate in the Plan. 
 If during a Performance Period an employee becomes
eligible for participation in the Plan, Incentive Awards payable under the Plan will be determined based on length of participation in the Plan, measured in days, from the day of the month in which the employee becomes eligible for participation in
the Plan. If an employee is first deemed eligible to participate in the Plan on or after October 1 of the applicable Performance Period, the employee will commence eligibility effective January 1 of the following Performance Period. 

If an employee of the Company transfers from a member of the group of companies controlled by Iberdrola, S.A. (other than the Company), such
employee shall become eligible for participation in the Plan as follows: 
  

	 	A.	 Prior to March 1, the Participant will receive an Incentive Award based on a full year of participation in
the Plan. 

  

	 	B.	 On or after March 1, the Participant will receive an Incentive Award based on length of participation in
the Plan, measured in days, from the day of the month in which the employee becomes eligible for participation in the Plan. 

Participants entering the Plan during a Performance Period remain eligible to receive prorated Incentive Awards under other annual incentive
compensation plans provided by the Company and its Affiliates with respect to the portion of the Performance Period prior to their participation in the Plan. 
  

	V.	 DISQUALIFICATION FROM PARTICIPATION 

In order to earn an Incentive Award for a Performance Period, a Participant must be employed by the Company or an Affiliate on the Award
Payment Date (as defined in Section VII.F) unless any exception under Section VI applies or unless otherwise set forth in a written employment or other agreement with the Company or any Affiliate (an “Employment Agreement”). 

Subject to the terms of any applicable Employment Agreement, an employee will be disqualified from earning an Incentive Award if any of the
following apply: 
  

	 	A.	 The otherwise eligible employee voluntarily terminates employment from the Company or an Affiliate prior to the
date a payment is otherwise scheduled to be paid to the Participant; 

  

	 	B.	 The otherwise eligible employee is involuntarily terminated for Cause. For purposes of the Plan,
“Cause” will mean the Participant’s gross or willful misconduct, gross negligence, unlawful conduct, or other conduct that is intentionally and materially adverse to the interests of the Company. 

In the event an employee is disqualified from Plan participation under this Section V, then any unpaid Incentive Award otherwise payable under
the Plan will be forfeited. 
  

	VI.	 SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES ALLOWING CONTINUED PARTICIPATION FOLLOWING TERMINATION FROM EMPLOYMENT OR ACTIVE
PARTICIPATION 

  

	 	A.	 The requirement in Section V for continuing employment through the Award Payment Date will not apply in the
event the Participant’s employment terminates (or is deemed to terminate due to his or her employer no longer being a member of the Company’s controlled group) under any of the following circumstances: 

  
 5 

	 	(1)	 Retirement (unless involuntarily terminated for Cause). For this purpose “Retirement” will apply if a
Participant terminates employment and is at least age 55 with at least 10 years of service, with service being measured as elapsed time as an employee of the Company, an Affiliate or any predecessor or successor companies. 

 

	 	(2)	 Death. 

  

	 	(3)	 Long-Term Disability as defined under the Long-Term Disability Plan (if any) sponsored by the
Participant’s employer. 

  

	 	(4)	 Termination by the Company without Cause. 

 

	 	(5)	 The Participant is no longer employed by the Company or an Affiliate on account of the Participant’s
employer ceasing to be a member of the Company’s controlled group of companies during the Performance Period due to a sale or other transaction and such sale or other transaction is not part of a Change in Control (defined below). In such a
case, the employer who ceased to be a member of the Company’s controlled group will remain liable to pay its share of the Participant’s Incentive Award, if any. 

 

	 	B.	 An Incentive Award will be payable to a Participant who terminates employment prior to an Award Payment Date in
the circumstances described in Section VI.A, subject to the following: 

  

	 	(1)	 The Incentive Award payable will be determined using base salary during the period of actual employment as a
Participant during the Performance Period. The Participant will be entitled to a prorated award based on the number of days of participation during the Performance Period. 

 

	 	(2)	 The Incentive Award payable will be determined based on the level of achievement of the AVANGRID Objectives and
the applicable Business Area/Corporate Function for the current Performance Period and Individual Business Objectives completed by their successor for the current Performance Period or, if there are no such applicable Individual Business Objectives
results, then based upon the achievement level of the Individual Business Objectives during the prior Performance Period. 

  

	 	(3)	 The Participant must have been an active employee during at least three (3) months of the Performance
Period to be eligible to receive an Incentive Award. 

  

	 	C.	 If a Participant ceases to be eligible for the Plan as a result of transferring from the Company to another
company within the Iberdrola Group: 

  

	 	(1)	 On or after November 1, the Participant will receive an Incentive Award based on a full year of
participation and using the current year Performance Period’s objective results. 

  

	 	(2)	 Prior to November 1, the Participant will receive an Incentive Award based on length of participation in
the Plan, measured in days, and using current Performance Period’s objective results as completed by their successor, if applicable, otherwise using the prior Performance Period’s objective results. 

 

	 	D.	 If, after the end of a Performance Period, but prior to the related Award Payment Date, a Participant ceases to
be an employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates for any reason other than the exceptions listed in Section VI.A or by transfer as provided in Section VI.C, the Participant will not be entitled to receive an Incentive Award for such
Performance Period unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. 

  
 6 

	 	E.	 Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrator, in its sole
discretion, may pay a pro-rated Incentive Award, subject to the Committee’s certification that the applicable Objectives for the Performance Period have been met. Such
pro-rated Incentive Award will be paid at the same time and in the same manner as Incentive Awards are paid to other Participants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant’s employment is
terminated for Cause, the Participant shall in all cases forfeit any Incentive Award not already paid 

  

	VII.	 APPROVAL AND PAYMENT OF INCENTIVE AWARDS 

 

	 	A.	 Following the conclusion of a Performance Period, the CEO and each Business Area and Corporate Function leader,
or one or more designees, will assess the level of achievement for each of the Company, Business Area, Corporate Function, and Individual Business Objectives, and report the results to the Company’s Chief Human Resources Officer
(“CHRO”) and CEO. 

  

	 	B.	 The CHRO (or designee) will present the results of the relevant Business Area Objectives for approval by the
board of directors of Avangrid Networks, Inc. or the board of managers of Avangrid Renewables, LLC, as the case may be. The CHRO will then present the results of all of the Company, Business Area and Corporate Function Objectives for the relevant
Performance Period to the Administrator for final review and approval. 

  

	 	C.	 A Participant’s Incentive Award will depend on the Objectives level achieved by the Company, the Business
Area or Corporate Function, as the case may be, and the individual for each Performance Period, weighted as provided in Section III.E, which will result in a cumulative Achievement Percentage. 

  

	 	D.	 The Company’s CHRO or a designee will calculate the individual Incentive Award payable to each Participant
based on their cumulative Achievement Percentage. The individual Incentive Awards will be sent to the Company’s Internal Audit department for validation. 

 

	 	E.	 Once validated, the Company’s CHRO will inform the CEO, and will prepare a proposal of the Company’s
executive officers’ Incentive Awards to be submitted to the Administrator for final approval, and a proposal of all other Incentive Awards to be submitted to the CEO for final approval. 

 

	 	F.	 The Administrator will review and approve the Company’s executive officers’ Incentive Award
calculations and the CEO will review and approve all other Incentive Award calculations proposed by the CHRO. Once approved, the Company’s CHRO will authorize payment of the Incentive Awards. Unless otherwise set forth in any Employment
Agreement, the “Award Payment Date” will be on or before March 31 of the year following the Performance Period. 

  

	 	G.	 If otherwise eligible, Participants may elect, during the year preceding the Performance Period, to defer up to
100% of any potential cash incentive award pursuant to the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan for Salaried Employees or applicable Affiliate plan, subject to the eligibility and other provisions of such plan. Awards payable under this Plan
will not be considered as a component of regular earnings, salary or base compensation for any purpose, unless allowed for in any ERISA plan documents. 

  
 7 

	 	H.	 Subject to Section VIII, Incentive Awards payable under Section VI.A and VI.C will be paid no later than
March 31 of the year following the year in which the Participant has a legally binding right to the Incentive Award at the same time and in the same manner as Incentive Awards are paid to other Participants. 

 

	 	I.	 Except as provided in Section VI, a Participant does not have a legally binding right to an Incentive Award
unless employed by the Company or an Affiliate on the Award Payment Date. All payments of Incentive Awards under the Plan will be made within the time required to qualify for the short-term deferral exception to Section 409A of the Code.

  

	VIII.	 PAYMENTS ON DEATH 

On the death of a Participant prior to an Award Payment Date, the Participant’s Incentive Award will be paid in a single sum to the
Participant’s beneficiary as soon as practicable after death. “Beneficiary” means the individual or trust designated by the Participant in writing in accordance with procedures established by the administrator. If a Participant does
not have a valid Beneficiary designated at the time of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s Incentive Award will be paid in the following priority: 
  

	 	(1)	 To the Participant’s surviving spouse. 

 

	 	(2)	 To the Participant’s surviving children in equal shares. 

 

	 	(3)	 To the Participant’s estate. 

 

	IX.	 PLAN ADMINISTRATION 

The “Administrator” is the Company’s Board of Directors or a committee to the extent that the Board’s powers or authority
under the Plan have been delegated to such committee. The Plan is administered by the Administrator, who makes all key decisions concerning who may participate, level of Company Objectives attained, and Plan payouts. Subject to the provisions of
this Plan, the Omnibus Plan and applicable law, the Administrator shall have the power, in addition to other express powers and authorizations conferred on the Administrator by the Plan, to: (i) designate Participants; (ii) determine the
terms and conditions of any Incentive Award; (iii) determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances Incentive Awards may be forfeited or suspended; (iv) interpret, administer, reconcile any inconsistency, correct any defect
and/or supply any omission in the Plan or any instrument or agreement relating to, or Incentive Award granted under, the Plan; (v) establish, amend, suspend, or waive any rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan;
(vi) adopt such procedures and subplans as are necessary or appropriate to permit participation in the Plan by employees who are foreign nationals or employed outside of the United States; and (vii) make any other determination and take
any other action that the Administrator deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. In addition, the Administrator will maintain such books and records and perform such recordkeeping and administrative functions as will be
necessary and appropriate to administer Incentive Awards hereunder, establish such practices and procedures as deemed necessary and appropriate in accord with the terms of the Plan, and generally be responsible for seeing that the purposes of the
Plan are accomplished. The Administrator has absolute discretion to construe and interpret the Plan subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the Omnibus Plan and any other requirements of applicable law 

 

	X.	 CHANGE IN CONTROL 

If the Company has entered into a binding agreement that could result in a Change in Control (as defined in Section 11(g) of the Omnibus
Plan), the Company is prohibited from amending or taking action pursuant to the Plan if such amendment would have the effect of materially reducing Incentive Award opportunities for Participants for the remainder of the Performance Period in which
the binding agreement was executed, unless the binding agreement is terminated without such transaction being consummated. 

  
 8 

	XI.	 PLAN AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 

Except as limited in Section X in the event of a Change in Control, the Board may, at any time, suspend, terminate, modify or amend this Plan.

 No amendment may change the Plan in a way that would cause the terms or operation of the Plan to fail to comply with the requirements of
Section 409A of the Code, but neither the Company nor any adopting Affiliate will have liability if the Plan fails to comply with Section 409A of the Code, unless the violation is deliberate and the Company or the adopting Affiliate has
knowledge of the violation. 
  

	XII.	 RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES 

 

	 	A.	 Exhaustion of Mandatory Claims Procedure. A Participant who wishes to appeal an Incentive Award determination
or other interpretation of the Plan will submit a written request to the CHRO. The request will state the specific reasons for the request and the remedy the Participant is seeking. The CEO will review the request and will make a determination
regarding the appeal, and that decision will be final. The exhaustion of this claims procedure will be mandatory, and will be a condition precedent to invoking arbitration under Section XII.B. 

 

	 	B.	 Final and Binding Arbitration for Claims for Payment Under the Plan. Any claim for payment under the Plan, or
dispute relating to rights under the Plan, will be resolved by final and binding arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“Rules”), except as modified by this Section XII.B. Where Section
XII.B modifies, varies, or makes inapplicable any of the Rules, the provisions of the Plan will prevail over the Rules. The arbitration will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. 

 

	 	C.	 Any controversy concerning the jurisdiction of the arbitrator over a particular claim or dispute will be
determined by a court in a proceeding under the Federal Arbitration Act and not by the arbitrator. Either party may, without inconsistency with the arbitration provisions of the Plan, apply to any court having jurisdiction over such dispute or
controversy and seek interim provisional, injunctive, or other equitable relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved. Except with respect to the right to seek such interim provisional, injunctive, or other
equitable relief, or except with respect to a controversy concerning the jurisdiction of the arbitrator, this Section XII.B constitutes a waiver of all rights that the Participant or Beneficiary and the Company may have to a civil court action on
the merits of any dispute subject to this Section XII.B. 

  

	 	D.	 The Company will pay the fees of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and the
arbitrator’s fees and costs, except that the Participant or Beneficiary will pay that portion of the fees of the AAA equal to the filing fee for a civil complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. Each party will be
responsible for the payment of its own attorneys’ fees, provided, however, that the arbitrator will have the authority to award reimbursement of the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the prevailing party in the arbitration
when such relief is authorized by an applicable statute. 

  

  
 9 

	 	E.	 Prior to the arbitration hearing, discovery consistent with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure will be
permitted by the arbitrator. As a matter of right, the Company and the Participant may present oral testimony and other relevant evidence at the hearing. The arbitrator will issue a written award with a statement of facts and reasons for the
arbitrator’s decision. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, and may be subject to review under the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrator will have the authority to award any remedy,
damages, or relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could order or grant, including, without limitation, the issuance of an injunction. 

  

	 	F.	 The arbitration hearing will be conducted in Orange, Connecticut. The arbitrator will be required to apply the
substantive law of the State of Connecticut that would apply in a civil proceeding before a court of that state. The arbitrator will not have jurisdiction to decide the dispute submitted to him contrary to the substantive law of the State of
Connecticut. 

  

	 	G.	 As used in this Section XII, references to “Company” include the Company and all parent, subsidiary
and related entities and their employees, supervisors, officers, directors, owners, agents, benefit plans, benefit plan sponsors, fiduciaries, administrators, Affiliates, and all successors and assigns of any of them, and the obligation of a
Participant, a Beneficiary or the Company to exhaust the mandatory claims procedure or to arbitrate under the Plan will apply to each of them to the extent that the dispute arises out of or relates to their actions on behalf of the Company, or
relates in any way to a claim subject to the mandatory claims procedure or to mandatory arbitration under the Plan. 

  

	XIII.	 GENERAL 

  

	 	A.	 All amounts payable under the Plan will be unfunded under the Code and payable only from the general assets of
the Company. Participants entitled to benefits will have no interest in any assets of the Company or an Affiliate, or in any funded benefit arrangement (such as a tax-qualified retirement plan) maintained by
the Company or an Affiliate, and will have no rights greater than the rights of any unsecured general creditor of the Company or an Affiliate, as applicable. 

  

	 	B.	 No Participant will have any claim or right to be granted an Incentive Award under this Plan. Participation in
the Plan will not be deemed an employment contract and does not guarantee continued employment. An employee’s selection as a Participant under the Plan for any Performance Period does not create a right to be retained in the employment of the
Company or any Affiliate, nor to hold any particular job title or classification. The Company specifically reserves the right to suspend, demote, transfer or terminate from employment any Participant for any reason. No employee of the Company will
have any claim or right to participate in the Plan or to be granted an Award under the Plan, except in accord with the express terms of this Plan. 

  

	 	C.	 The Company and its Affiliates will have the right to deduct from the Incentive Awards made pursuant to this
Plan any taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such cash payments. 

  

	 	D.	 If any term or provision of the Plan will be found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or
otherwise unenforceable, the same will not affect the other terms or provisions hereof or the whole of the Plan, and such term or provision will be deemed modified to the extent necessary to render such term or provision enforceable, and the rights
and obligations of the parties will be construed and enforced accordingly, preserving to the fullest permissible extent the intent and agreements of the parties herein set forth. 

  
 10 

	 	E.	 Except as set forth in the preceding paragraph, a Participant’s rights and benefits under the Plan will
not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, charge, garnishment, attachment, execution or levy of any kind, either voluntary or involuntary, including any such liability which arises
from the Participant’s bankruptcy or for the support of a spouse or former spouse or for any other relative of the Participant prior to the Incentive Award actually being received by the person eligible to benefit under the Plan. Any attempt at
such prohibited anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, charge, garnishment, attachment, execution or levy, will be void and unenforceable except as otherwise provided by law. 

 

	 	F.	 The terms of this Plan shall be subject to the terms of any applicable Employment Agreement entered into with a
Participant, such that the applicable Employment Agreement provision(s) shall control over any conflicting provision of this Plan. 

  

	 	G.	 All Incentive Awards will be subject to any Company claw-back policy as in effect from time to time, including
any claw-back policy adopted by the Company to comply with applicable law, and, in accordance with such policy, may be subject to the requirement that the Incentive Awards be repaid to the Company after they have been distributed to the Participant.
