 THIS WARRANT
PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is entered into by and between GS Acquisition Holdings Corp II, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and GS Sponsor II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the
“Purchaser”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company intends to consummate an initial public offering of the Company’s units (the
“Public Offering”), each unit consisting of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (a “Share”), and one-quarter of
one redeemable warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Share, as set forth in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, File No. 333-239096 (the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”); and 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchaser has agreed to purchase up to an aggregate of 8,000,000
warrants (and up to 9,050,000 warrants if the underwriters in the Public Offering exercise their option to purchase additional units in full (the “Option”)) (the “Sponsor Warrants”), each Sponsor
Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Share. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the
mutual promises contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby, intending legally to be bound, agree as follows: 

Section 1.    Authorization, Purchase and Sale; Terms of the Sponsor Warrants. 

A.    Authorization of the Sponsor Warrants. The Company has duly authorized the issuance and sale of the Sponsor
Warrants to the Purchaser. 
 B.    Purchase and Sale of the Sponsor Warrants. 

(i)    On the date of the initial consummation of the Public Offering or on such earlier time and date as may be mutually
agreed by the Purchaser and the Company (the “IPO Closing Date”), the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, 8,000,000 Sponsor Warrants at a price of $2.00 per
warrant (such aggregate purchase price for such Sponsor Warrants, the “Purchase Price”), which shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company at least one (1) business day prior to such
Closing Date in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by the Company to Purchaser.

connection with the Public Offering or on such earlier time and date as may be mutually agreed by the Purchaser and the Company (an “Over-allotment Closing Date,” and each Over-allotment Closing Date (if any) and the IPO
Closing Date, a “Closing Date”), the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, up to 1,050,000 Sponsor Warrants (or, to the extent the Option is not exercised in full, a
lesser number of Sponsor Warrants in proportion to the portion of the Option that is then exercised) at a price of $2.00 per warrant for an aggregate purchase price of up to $2,100,000 (such aggregate purchase price for such Sponsor Warrants, the
“Over-allotment Purchase Price”), which shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company at least one (1) business day prior to such Over-allotment Closing Date in accordance
with the wiring instructions provided by the Company to Purchaser. 
 (iii)    On each Closing Date, following the
payment by the Purchaser of the Purchase Price or Over-Allotment Purchase Price, as applicable, by wire transfer of immediately available funds or by such other method as may be reasonably acceptable to the Company, the Company, at its option, shall
deliver a certificate to the Purchaser evidencing the Sponsor Warrants purchased on such Closing Date duly registered in the Purchaser’s name or effect such delivery in book-entry form. 

C.    Terms of the Sponsor Warrants. 

(i)    Each Sponsor Warrant shall have the terms set forth in a Warrant Agreement (the “Warrant
Agreement”) to be entered into by the Company and a warrant agent, which Warrant Agreement shall also govern the terms for the warrants to be sold in the Public Offering. All Sponsor Warrants will be subject to the same Warrant Agreement
and will have the same terms. 
 (ii)    At the time of, or prior to, the closing of the Public Offering, the Company
and the Purchaser shall enter into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company will grant certain registration rights to the Purchaser relating to the Sponsor Warrants
purchased by the Purchaser and the Shares underlying such Sponsor Warrants.

the Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and purchase the Sponsor Warrants, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser (which representations and warranties shall survive the Closing Date) that: 

A.    Organization and Corporate Power. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is qualified to do business in every jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, operating results or

Agreement and this Agreement, the Sponsor Warrants will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms as of the applicable Closing Date.

 (ii)    The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and
the Sponsor Warrants, the issuance and sale of the Sponsor Warrants, the issuance of the Shares upon exercise of the Sponsor Warrants and the fulfillment of and compliance with the respective terms hereof and thereof by the Company, do not and will
not as of the applicable Closing Date (a) conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, (b) constitute a default under, (c) result in the creation of any lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance
upon the Company’s capital stock or assets under, (d) result in a violation of, or (e) require any authorization, consent, approval, exemption or other action by or notice or declaration to, or filing with, any court or administrative

shall have been served for issuance. Upon issuance in accordance with, and payment pursuant to, the terms hereof and the Warrant Agreement, the Purchaser will have good title to the Sponsor Warrants purchased by it and the Shares issuable upon

 A.    Organization and Requisite Authority. The Purchaser possesses all
requisite power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 

  
 3 













 B.    Authorization; No Breach. 

(i)    This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its
terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equitable principles (whether considered in a
proceeding in equity or law). 
 (ii)    The execution and delivery by the Purchaser of this Agreement and the
fulfillment of and compliance with the terms hereof by the Purchaser does not and shall not as of each Closing Date conflict with or result in a breach by the Purchaser of the terms, conditions or provisions of any agreement, instrument, order,
judgment or decree to which the Purchaser is subject. 
 C.    Investment Representations. 

(i)    The Purchaser is acquiring the Sponsor Warrants and, upon exercise of the Sponsor Warrants, the Shares issuable
upon such exercise (collectively, the “Securities”) for the Purchaser’s own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, any public sale or distribution thereof. 

(ii)    The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of
Regulation D under the Securities Act, and the Purchaser has not experienced a disqualifying event as enumerated pursuant to Rule 506(d) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. 

(iii)    The Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and will be sold to it in reliance on specific
exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations and warranties of the
Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire such Securities. 

(iv)    The Purchaser did not decide to enter into this Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general
advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. 
 (v)    The Purchaser has
been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by the Purchaser. The Purchaser has been afforded the
opportunity to ask questions of the executive officers and directors of the Company. The Purchaser understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk and it has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has
considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the acquisition of the Securities. 

(vi)    The Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental
agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities by the Purchaser nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the
Securities.

 (vii)    The Purchaser understands that: (a) the Securities have
not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (1) in a transaction registered thereunder or (2) sold in reliance on an
exemption therefrom; and (b) except as specifically set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities
laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. In this regard, the Purchaser understands that the Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that promoters or affiliates of a blank check company and their
transferees, both before and after a Business Combination (as defined in the Warrant Agreement), are deemed to be “underwriters” under the Securities Act when reselling the securities of a blank check company. Based on that position, Rule
144 adopted pursuant to the Securities Act would not be available for resale transactions of the Securities despite technical compliance with the requirements of such Rule, and the Securities can be resold only through a registered offering or in
reliance upon another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. 
 (viii)    The Purchaser
understands that the Warrants will bear the legend substantially in the form set forth in the Warrant Agreement. 

(ix)    The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, knowledge of the high degree
of risk associated with investments in the securities of companies in the development stage such as the Company, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment
in the Securities in the amount contemplated hereunder for an indefinite period of time. 

Section 4.    Conditions of the Purchaser’s Obligation. The obligation of the
Purchaser to purchase and pay for the Sponsor Warrants is subject to the fulfillment, on or before the applicable Closing Date, of each of the following conditions:

have been enacted, entered, promulgated or endorsed by or in any court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction or any self-regulatory organization having authority over the matters contemplated hereby, which prohibits the consummation of
any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Warrant Agreement.

parties may not assign this Agreement, other than assignments by the Purchaser to affiliates thereof.
