    Gentlemen:

    


    The
undersigned, as a condition to the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by that certain agreement (the “Put/Call Agreement”), dated
the date hereof, by and among Tremisis Energy Acquisition Corporation II (“Company”), Lawrence S. Coben,
Ronald D. Ormand, Jon Schotz, Charles A. Norris, Stephen N. Casati, Bill

Coleman, Bill Armstrong, Trevor Wilson, Brian McInerney, Richard Kassar, David

(collectively, the “Sellers”), Sang-Chul Kim and

herein are defined in paragraph 11 hereof):

    


    1.           In
the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 24
months from the effective date (“Effective Date”) of the
registration statement relating to the Company’s initial public offering of
securities (“IPO”), the
undersigned will (i) cause the trust fund established in connection with the
Company’s IPO (the “Trust
Fund”) to be liquidated and distributed to the holders of IPO Shares and
(ii) take all reasonable actions within the undersigned’s power to cause the
Company to liquidate as soon as reasonably practicable. The undersigned hereby
waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any
distribution of the Trust Fund and any remaining net assets of the Company as a
result of such liquidation (“Claim”) and hereby waives any
Claim the undersigned may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of,
any contracts or agreements with the Company and will not seek recourse against
the Trust Fund for any reason whatsoever.

    


    2.           In
order to minimize potential conflicts of interest that may arise from multiple
affiliations, the undersigned agrees to present to the Company for its
consideration, prior to presentation to any other person or entity, any suitable
opportunity to acquire an operating business, until the earlier of the
consummation by the Company of a Business Combination, the liquidation of the
Company or until such time as the undersigned ceases to be an officer or
director of the Company, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary and contractual
obligations the undersigned might have.

    


    3.           The
undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Company will not consummate any
Business Combination that involves a company that is affiliated with any of the
Insiders unless the Company obtains an opinion from an independent investment
banking firm reasonably acceptable to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated, as representative of the underwriters of the Company’s IPO, that
the Business Combination is fair to the Company’s stockholders from a financial
perspective.

    


    4.           Neither
the undersigned, any member of the family of the undersigned, nor any affiliate
(“Affiliate”) of the
undersigned will be entitled to receive and will not accept any compensation for
services rendered to the Company prior to or in connection with the consummation
of the Business Combination; provided that the undersigned
shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Company for the undersigned’s
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with seeking and consummating a
Business Combination.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    5.           Neither
the undersigned, any member of the family of the undersigned, nor any Affiliate
of the undersigned will be entitled to receive or accept a finder’s fee or any
other compensation in the event the undersigned, any member of the family of the
undersigned or any Affiliate of the undersigned originates a Business
Combination.

    


    6.           The
undersigned acknowledges and agrees that any Insider Shares that may be
transferred to the undersigned upon consummation of a Business Combination
pursuant to the Put/Call Agreement will continue to be held in escrow until one
year after the consummation by the Company of such Business Combination, subject
to the terms of that certain Stock Escrow Agreement, dated as of December 6,
2007 by and among the Company, the Sellers and Continental Stock Transfer &
Trust Company.

    


    7.           The
undersigned agrees to be a Director of the Company until the earlier of the
consummation by the Company of a Business Combination or the liquidation of the
Company. The undersigned’s biographical information furnished to the Company and
the Underwriters and attached hereto as Exhibit A is true and
accurate in all respects, does not omit any material information with respect to

such, the undersigned will promptly notify the Company and the Underwriters and
appoint a substitute agent acceptable to the Company within 30 days and nothing
in this letter agreement will affect the right of either party to serve process
