Dear Xx. Xxxxxxxx:

Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure plc (the “Company”) intends to establish an “at-the-market program” for an aggregate offering size of up to $150,000,000 (the “ATM Program”), by which the Company may offer and sell its ordinary shares at any time and from time to time through one or more designated sales agents (the “Agent”), through ordinary brokers’ transactions through the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) at market prices, in block transactions or as otherwise agreed between the Company and the Agent (each an “ATM Sale”), pursuant to (i) a Distribution Agreement to be entered into with the Agent (the “Distribution Agreement”), (ii) the Company's registration statement on Form F-3 (the “Registration Statement”) and (iii) a related base prospectus and prospectus supplement to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (together the “Prospectus”).

In connection with the establishment of the above referenced ATM Program, the parties to this letter (this "letter agreement") agree as follows:

AQN acknowledges and agrees to the

establishment of the ATM Program,

each ATM Sale,

any related actions in furtherance of the foregoing, and

the filing of the Registration Statement and Prospectus, in each case for so long as the ATM Program is in full force and effect,

on condition that the Company agrees that, each of AQN or one or more of its subsidiaries designated by AQN (one or more entities, the “Investor”) collectively (in such proportions or other allocation as determined by AQN) shall have and are hereby granted the right (but not the obligation) (the “ATM Preemptive Right”), to subscribe in cash, in each case at the per Equity Security subscription price equal to the Catch-up Exercise Price (as defined below), for Equity Securities of the Company up to the amount equal to (i) the total amount of Equity Securities sold in each respective ATM Sale during the Catch-up Period (as defined below) divided by (ii) 1 minus its Percentage Interest as of the Catch-Up Date (as defined below) immediately prior to such Catch-up Period and multiplied by (iii) its Percentage Interest as of the Catch-up Date immediately prior to such Catch-up Period (such number of Equity Securities, the “Maximum Shares”), as set forth below. For purposes of calculating the Investor’s Percentage Interest under this letter agreement, there shall be added to the numerator and the denominator any Subscribed Catch-up Shares (as defined below) which the Investor has the right to acquire in respect of previous Catch-up Periods for which the Closing (as defined in the subscription agreement to be executed pursuant to this letter agreement) has not yet occurred (including any Subscribed Catch-up Shares which were not previously acquired in accordance with Section 5). To the extent any Subscribed Catch-up Shares relating to a subscription agreement pursuant to this letter agreement (x) fail to settle by the closing date in the relevant subscription agreement or (y) such subscription agreement is otherwise terminated, in each case, due to a breach by the Investor, the Investor’s Percentage Interest under this letter agreement shall be adjusted to remove any such shares for the purposes of calculating the Investor’s Percentage Interest and the number of Subscribed Catch-up Shares shall be reduced so that the Investor is entitled to subscribe for a number of shares resulting in a Percentage Interest no greater than if such shares had not been subscribed for.

In connection with the ATM Preemptive Right, the Company shall:

on the earlier of: (i) the date the Company furnishes or files its quarterly or, in the case of the period ending December 31, annual financial statements, on Form 6-K or Form 20-F with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, but excluding the financial statements relating to the quarter ended June 30, 2021 (each a “Cleansing Date”) and (ii) 3 Business Days prior to the relevant Meeting Date (the earlier of (i) and (ii) in each case, a “Catch-up Date”) give the Investor, written notice (the “Catch-up Notice”) of all ATM Sales made since the later of the prior Catch-up Date and the date of this letter agreement up to but excluding the relevant Catch-up Date (each such period a “Catch-up Period”). To the extent that no ATM Sales pursuant to the Distribution Agreement are made during the Catch-up Period for any reason, then the Company shall not have any obligation to provide such written notice to the Investor. “Meeting Dates” are the dates listed on Schedule I hereto (subject to changes to the Meeting Dates which are notified in writing by AQN to the Company no less than 5 Business Days prior to the relevant date listed on Schedule I provided that such dates shall be no more than 14 calendar days before or after the corresponding month and day listed on Schedule I) and such additional dates provided by AQN to the Company with respect to any period after December 31, 2022 provided that such dates provided by AQN to the Company with respect to any period after December 31, 2022 shall be no more than 14 calendar days before or after the corresponding month and day from the corresponding meeting for the year ended December 31, 2022;

include in each Catch-up Notice (i) the total number of ordinary shares sold pursuant to the ATM Program during the Catch-up Period (“Total Catch-up Shares”), (ii) the total number of issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company immediately prior to, and at the end of, the relevant Catch-Up Period; (iii) the total amount in U.S. dollars for which the Total Catch-up Shares were sold, before applying any bank or other fees, (“Total Catch-up Amount”), (iv) the average price which shall be calculated by dividing (A) the Total Catch-up Amount by (B) the Total Catch-up Shares (“Catch-up Exercise Price”), (v) details of any events referred to in Section 2.f. during the relevant Catch-up Period (including the record date) and any adjustments required pursuant to Section 2.f. with respect to any such event and (vi) bank account details into which the Investor shall pay the subscription price for the Subscribed Catch-up Shares (as defined below);

include in each Catch-up Notice the date by which the Investor must give the Company written notice of its election to subscribe for all or some of such Equity Shares, which shall be no earlier than the day which is the latest of: (i) seven (7) Business Days from the delivery of the Catch-up Notice, (ii) four (4) Business Days after the Meeting Date which follows the Catch-up Period which is the subject of the Catch-up Notice and (iii) the relevant Cleansing Date (the latest date, the “Exercise Deadline”);

countersign any executed subscription agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, delivered in accordance with this letter agreement;

ensure that it has sufficient shareholder authority to allot the Maximum Shares to the Investor (in the event the Investor exercises their ATM Preemptive Right), and not issue any Equity Securities unless, following such issuance, the Company will continue to have sufficient shareholder authority to allot the Maximum Shares to the Investor; and

not (i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions, (ii) effect any stock splits, reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers, business combinations, or similar transactions relating to the Equity Securities of the Company or (iii) issue any ordinary shares pursuant to a rights issue or other pre-emptive offering by the Company at a discount to the market price, in each case, between the beginning of any Catch-up Period and the relevant Closing, unless the Catch-up Exercise Price and the Subscribed Catch-up Shares are adjusted appropriately to provide the Investor with the same effects and benefits (including economic benefits) as if the portion of the Subscribed Catch-up Shares which is equivalent to the portion of Catch-up Shares issued prior to the record date with respect to such event had been issued prior to the record date with respect to such event.

Upon receipt of a Catch-up Notice, the Investor shall provide written notice to the Company if it intends to exercise its ATM Preemptive Right (the “Investor Notice”) and an executed subscription agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

The Investor Notice shall include (a) the Investor’s Percentage Interest as of immediately prior to the relevant Catch-up Period, (b) the number of ordinary shares (if any) the Investor will purchase at the Catch-up Exercise Price (subject to Section 2.f.) (“Subscribed Catch-up Shares”), which shall not exceed a number of ordinary shares equal to the number of Maximum Shares, (c) the name of the Investor subscribing for such shares, and (d) the date for the Closing for the Subscribed Catch-up Shares which shall be no earlier than the third Business Day following the Investor Notice and no later than the later of (x) 180 calendar days following the date the Investor Notice is delivered provided that such delivery date is prior to January 1, 2023, and (y) the twelfth Business Day following the Investor Notice.

For the avoidance of doubt, if an Investor does not provide an Investor Notice prior to the relevant Exercise Deadline or otherwise declines to exercise their ATM Preemptive Right, their ATM Preemptive Right with respect to the relevant Total Catch-up Shares for the relevant Catch-up Period will be immediately terminated.

Each party represents and warrants to the other party that:

Such party is a company validly existing and duly incorporated, organized and registered under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation;

This letter agreement has been duly authorized and executed by it and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of it;

All necessary consents, authorisations, notifications, actions or other things required to be taken, fulfilled or done by it in accordance with applicable law (including, without limitation: (i) the obtaining of any consent, approval or license, (ii) the making of any filing or registration; or (iii) the obtaining of any shareholder approval) for the carrying out of the transactions contemplated by this letter agreement or the performance by it of the terms of this letter agreement, have been obtained or made and are, or will on Closing (as defined in the subscription agreement to be executed pursuant to this letter agreement) be, in full force and effect;

The Company represents and warrants to AQN that as of each Catch-up Date, it is not aware of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries that has not been disclosed to AQN. To the extent the Company is unable to make the representations and warranties in this Section 5, the Company shall notify the Investor in the relevant Catch-up Notice and it shall not be considered a breach of this letter agreement. If the Company notifies the Investor in the Catch-up Notice that it is unable to make the representations and warranties in this Section 5 (such notice, the “Original Catch-up Notice”), the Investor may, in its sole discretion, elect to (a) subscribe for the Subscribed Catch-up Shares for the applicable Catch-up Period by the Exercise Deadline in the Catch-up Notice provided that the Investor will make the representations in paragraphs 1 and 2 in Schedule 3 of the subscription agreement appended hereto to the Company and acknowledge that the Company has advised it that the Company is in possession of material, non-public information with respect to the Company that has not been disclosed to AQN or (b) have the option of subscribing for the Subscribed Catch-up Shares for the applicable Catch-up Period either (i) following the next Catch-up Date on which the representations and warranties in this Section 5 can be made by the Company, or (ii) following any Catch-up Date relating to a later Catch-up Period (provided that the Investor will make the representations in paragraphs 1 and 2 in Schedule 3 of the subscription agreement appended hereto to the Company and acknowledge that the Company has advised it that the Company is in possession of material, non-public information with respect to the Company that has not been disclosed to AQN), in each case, at the Catch-up Exercise Price in the Original Catch-up Notice (i.e., for the Catch-up Period immediately preceding such notice).

The parties to this letter agreement agree that this letter agreement is not in breach of the Shareholders Agreement, dated as of 5 March 2018, by and among AQN and Abengoa-Algonquin Global Energy Solution B.V. (“AAGES”) and the Company, as amended from time to time (the “Shareholders Agreement"). Further, the parties to this letter agreement acknowledge that for the purpose of determining any pre-emptive rights of AQN and AAGES under the Shareholders Agreement, the calculation of Percentage Interest in connection with such pre-emptive rights shall be adjusted as follows: (a) the denominator shall be decreased by the number of shares issued under the ATM Program with respect to which the Investor has not yet had the opportunity to deliver an Investor Notice, and (b) the numerator and the denominator shall be increased by any Subscribed Catch-up Shares for which the Closing has not yet occurred. AQN further agrees that it will not directly or indirectly take action, nor entice AAGES, to assert a breach of the Shareholders Agreement by the Company with respect to the ATM Program subject to the Company’s compliance with the terms of this letter agreement. AQN shall use best efforts to cause AAGES to sign a joinder to Section 6 of this letter agreement prior to the delivery of any Investor Notice. The parties agree that the second sentence of this paragraph 6 is for the benefit of the parties and AAGES and is enforceable by AAGES in accordance with the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Xxx 0000.

Except as otherwise provided in this letter agreement, any notice, demand or other communication to be served under this letter agreement shall be in writing and shall be served upon any party hereto only by email.

A notice or demand served by email shall be deemed to have been given two hours following dispatch unless evidence of receipt is received earlier (other than by an automated reply generated in response to such e-mail), save that if it is delivered later than 5.00 p.m. Eastern Time on a Business Day or at any time on a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be deemed to have been given at 8.00 a.m. Eastern Time on the next Business Day, provided in each case that no undeliverable or e-mail bounce back message is received.

We hereby appoint the Chairman of the Related Party Committee as our true and lawful attorney (the “Attorney”) pursuant to the Powers of Xxxxxxxx Xxx 0000 (the “Act”) with authority on our behalf and in our name to do each of the following things in respect of [total number of shares in excess of 41.5%] ordinary shares in the Company of which we are, or we (or any of our affiliates) agreed to become, the beneficial owner (the “Designated Shares”):

(i)

to the extent that we are the registered holder of the Designated Shares, to irrevocably appoint the person acting as chairman of any general meeting of the Company as our proxy to exercise our rights to attend, speak and vote as set out below at each general meeting of the Company in respect of the Designated Shares; and

(ii)

to the extent that we are not the registered holder of the Designated Shares, to instruct the registered holder of such Designated Shares and, if applicable, to instruct the broker in whose account such Designated Shares are held to require such registered holder, to irrevocably appoint the person acting as chairman of any general meeting of the Company as its proxy to exercise its rights to attend, speak and vote as set out below at each general meeting of the Company in respect of the Designated Shares.

The Attorney shall direct, or, if applicable, shall instruct the broker in whose account the Designated Shares are held to direct, the registered holder of the Designated Shares to instruct the person acting as chairman of any general meeting of the Company (using a form of proxy approved by the Board of Directors of the Company for such purpose) to vote all Designated Shares on the resolutions proposed at each general meeting of the Company (and any other business which may properly come before the meeting) “For” or “Against” in a manner which reflects the proportion of “For” and “Against” votes cast on each resolution proposed at that general meeting (other than the votes cast in respect of ordinary shares in the Company beneficially owned by us or any of our affiliates).

This power of attorney may only be revoked upon written notice to this effect delivered to the Attorney by us and the Company, but is otherwise irrevocable. However, in accordance with section 5 of the Act, if this power of attorney is revoked and a person, without knowledge of the revocation, deals with the Attorney, the transaction between them shall, in favour of that person, be as valid as if the power had then been in existence. We and the Company hereby agree and hereby notify you that the Power of Attorney dated [date of most recent Power of Attorney] granted to the Attorney with respect to [number of shares subject to most recent Power of Attorney] ordinary shares in the capital of the Company is hereby revoked (the “Revocation”).

We agree and acknowledge that no person or corporation having dealings with the Attorney under this power of attorney shall be under any obligation to make any enquiries as to whether the power to act hereunder has arisen and all voting of Designated Shares done in the lawful and proper exercise of any power conferred by this deed shall be valid and binding upon it.

This power of attorney shall be enforceable by the Attorney pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Xxx 0000. Except as set out in the preceding sentence, we do not intend that any term of this power of attorney should be enforceable by any person who is not the Attorney by virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Xxx 0000 or otherwise.

This power of attorney and any claim, dispute or difference (including non-contractual claims, disputes or differences) arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, English law. We irrevocably agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England to settle any claim, dispute or difference (including non-contractual claims, disputes or differences) arising out of or in connection with this power of attorney or its subject matter (including a dispute regarding the existence, validity, formation, effect, interpretation, performance or termination of this power of attorney) and that accordingly any proceedings be brought in such courts.
