PRIVATE
PLACEMENT WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT


 


This
Private Placement Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 16, 2021 (as it may from time to time be amended
and including all exhibits referenced herein, this “Agreement”), is entered into by and among LF
Capital Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Level
Field Capital II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”).


 


Whereas,
the Company intends to complete an initial public offering of the Company’s units (the “Public Offering”),
each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (each, a “Share”),
and one-half of one redeemable warrant, as set forth in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), File Number 333-260541 (the “Registration
Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”);


 


Whereas,
each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Share; and


 


Whereas,
the Purchaser has agreed to purchase an aggregate of 7,000,000 warrants (or up to 8,181,250
warrants if the over-allotment option in connection with the Public Offering is exercised in full) (the “Private Placement
Warrants”), each Private Placement 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:

at its option, deliver a certificate evidencing the Private Placement Warrants purchased on such date duly registered in the Purchaser’s
name to the Purchaser, or effect such delivery in book-entry form.

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.


 


(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 enter into this Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or
general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) 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)
subsequently 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. While
the Purchaser understands that Rule 144 under the Securities Act is not available for the resale of securities initially issued
by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a
shell company, the Purchaser understands that Rule 144 includes an exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are
met: (i) the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company; (ii) the issuer of the
securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”); (iii) the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required
to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports
and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and (iv) at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current
Form 10-type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.


 


(viii)           
The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, understands
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. The Purchaser has adequate means of providing
for its current financial needs and contingencies and will have no current or anticipated future needs for liquidity which would
be jeopardized by the investment in the Securities. The Purchaser can afford a complete loss of its investment in the Securities.
