		Re:	Initial Public Offering



 


Gentlemen:


 


This
letter (this “Letter Agreement”) is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the
 “Underwriting Agreement”) entered into or proposed to be entered into by and among TPG Pace Beneficial II Corp.,
a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities
LLC and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as representatives (the “Representatives”) of the several underwriters
(each, an “Underwriter” and collectively, the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten
initial public offering (the “Public Offering”), of 35,000,000 of the Company’s Class A ordinary
shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) (including up to 5,250,000 Class A
Ordinary Shares that may be purchased to cover over-allotments, if any). The Class A Ordinary Shares shall be sold in the Public
Offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 and prospectus (the “Prospectus”) filed by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and the Company shall apply to have the
Class A Ordinary Shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 11
hereof.


 


In order to induce the Company and the Underwriters
to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the Public Offering and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, TPG Pace Beneficial II Sponsor, Series LLC, a Delaware series limited liability
company (the “Sponsor”), and each of the undersigned individuals, each of whom is a director or member of the
Company’s management team (each, an “Insider” and collectively, the “Insiders”),
hereby agrees with the Company as follows:


 


1.
The Sponsor and each Insider agrees that if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, then in
connection with such proposed Business Combination, it or he shall (i) vote any Shares (as defined below) owned by it or him in favor
of any proposed Business Combination and (ii) not redeem any Shares owned by it or him in connection with such shareholder approval.


 






    


     


    

 


2.
The Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees that in the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within
24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, or such later period approved by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with
the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Sponsor and each Insider shall take all reasonable
steps to cause the Company to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably
possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the Class A
Ordinary Shares sold in the Public Offering (the “Offering Shares”), at a per-share price, payable in cash,
equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution
expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish all Public Shareholders’
rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as
promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the
Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands
law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Sponsor and each Insider agrees to not propose
any amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that would affect the substance or timing
of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within
24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, unless the Company provides its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem
their Offering Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on
deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company
to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares. Each Insider hereby further waives, with respect to any Founder
Shares and Class A Ordinary Shares held by it, him or her, if any, any redemption rights it, he or she may have in connection with
a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to
modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete
a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating
to shareholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity.


 


The Sponsor and each Insider
acknowledges that it or he has no right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account as a result
of any liquidation of the Company with respect to the Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares held by it. The Sponsor and each Insider
hereby further waives, with respect to any Class A Ordinary Shares, Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares held by it or him,
if any, any redemption rights it or he may have in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, including, without limitation,
any such rights available in the context of a shareholder vote to approve such Business Combination or in the context of a tender offer
made by the Company to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares (although the Sponsor and the Insiders shall be entitled to redemption and
liquidation rights with respect to any Class A Ordinary Shares, but not including any Private Placement Shares, it
or they hold if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 24 months from the date of the closing of the Public Offering).

3.
Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraphs 7(a) and (b) below, during the period commencing on the effective
date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending 180 days after such date, the Sponsor and each Insider shall not, without the prior written
consent of the Representatives, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase
or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate
or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”) and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, with respect to any Class A Ordinary
Shares or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, Class A Ordinary Shares owned by it or him, (ii) enter
into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any
Class A Ordinary Shares or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, Class A Ordinary Shares owned
by it, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce
any intention to effect any transaction, including the filing of a registration statement, specified in clause (i) or (ii). Each
of the Insiders and the Sponsor acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the effective date of any release or waiver, of the restrictions
set forth in this paragraph 3 or paragraph 7 below, the Company shall announce the impending release or waiver by press release through
a major news service at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted shall
only be effective two business days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply
if the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration and the transferee has agreed in writing to be
bound by the same terms described in this Letter Agreement to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the
time of the transfer.


 


4.
In the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account, the Sponsor (which for purposes of clarification shall not extend to any
other shareholders, members or managers of the Sponsor) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any and all loss, liability,
claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating,
preparing or defending against any litigation, whether pending or threatened, or any claim whatsoever) to which the Company may become
subject as a result of any claim by (i) any third party (other than the Company’s independent accountants) for services rendered
or products sold to the Company or (ii) a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction
agreement (a “Target”); provided, however, that such indemnification of the Company by the Sponsor
shall apply only to the extent necessary to ensure that such claims by a third party for services rendered (other than the Company’s
independent public accountants) or products sold to the Company or a Target do not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to
below (i) $10.00 per share of the Offering Shares or (ii) such lesser amount per share of the Offering Shares held in the Trust
Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, in each case, net of
the amount of interest earned on the property in the Trust Account which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third
party (including a Target) who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims
under the Company’s indemnity of the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended. In the event that any such executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against such third party, the Sponsor shall
not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Sponsor shall have the right to defend against any
such claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Company if, within 15 days following written receipt of notice of
the claim to the Sponsor, the Sponsor notifies the Company in writing that it shall undertake such defense. For the avoidance of doubt,
none of the Company’s officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by third parties, including, without limitation,
claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

5.
 To the extent that the size of the Public Offering is increased or decreased, the Company will effect a capitalization or share
repurchase or redemption or other appropriate mechanism, as applicable, immediately prior to the consummation of the Public Offering in
such amount as to maintain the percentage ownership of the Class F Founder Shares (as defined below) and Class G Founder Shares
(as defined below), as applicable, of the Initial Shareholders prior to the Public Offering at the percentage ownership of the Company’s
issued and outstanding shares set forth in the Prospectus upon the consummation of the Public Offering.


 


6.
The Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees and acknowledges that (i) the Underwriters and the Company would be irreparably
injured in the event of a breach by such Sponsor or Insider of its or his obligations under paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7(a), 7(b), and
9 of this Letter Agreement; (ii) monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for such breach and (iii) the non-breaching
party shall be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy that such party may have in law or in equity, in the event
of such breach.


 


7.
(a)  The Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it or he shall not Transfer any Class F Founder Shares (or Class A
Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion thereof) until the earlier of (i) one year after the completion of the Company’s initial
Business Combination or (ii) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, if (x) the last sale price of the Class A
Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations
and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Company’s initial
Business Combination, or (y) the date following the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination on which the Company
completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s
shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property (the “Class F
Founder Shares Lock-up Period”).


 


(b) 
 The Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it or he shall not Transfer any Class G Founder Shares for any reason, other
than to specified permitted transferees or subsequent to the initial Business Combination in connection with a liquidation, merger, capital
stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to
exchange their Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property transfer (the “Class G Founder Shares Lock-up Period”),
provided that any Class A Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion of any shares of Class G Founder Shares will not be subject
to such restrictions.


 


(c) 
The Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it or he shall not Transfer any Private Placement Shares (as defined below) until 30 days
after the completion of a Business Combination (the “Private Placement Shares Lock-up Period”).

Shares that are held by the Sponsor, any Insider or any of their permitted transferees (that have complied with this paragraph 7(d)),
are permitted (a) to the Company’s officers or directors, any affiliates or family members of any of the Company’s officers
or directors, any members of the Sponsor, or any affiliates of the Sponsor; (b) in the case of an individual, Transfers by gift to

initial Business Combination; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a) through (h) these permitted transferees must
enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by the restrictions herein.
