Exhibit 10.4
EXECUTION FORM
AMENDED AND RESTATED FORWARD PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Amended and Restated Forward Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of July [●], 2021, between TPG Pace Solutions Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), Vacasa, Inc. (“Newco”), TPG Holdings III, L.P. (the “Purchaser”), a Delaware limited partnership and an affiliate of TPG Global, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TPG”) and TPG Pace Solutions Sponsor, Series LLC, a Delaware series limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The amount of Class A Shares (as defined below) subject to forward purchase by the Purchaser will be set forth, from time to time, in an appendix hereto.
WHEREAS, the Company, the Sponsor and the Purchaser entered into that certain forward purchase agreement (the “Initial Forward Purchase Agreement”), dated as of March 18, 2021, pursuant to which, immediately prior to the consummation of the Company’s Business Combination (the “Business Combination Closing”), the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser agreed to purchase in the aggregate from the Company, on a private placement basis, no less than 5,000,000 of forward purchase shares, consisting of 5,000,000 Class A Shares at a price of $10.00 per Class A Share;
WHEREAS, the Company, the Purchaser, and other third parties thereto (the “Other Purchasers”) entered into that certain Forward Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 18, 2021 (the “Initial Forward Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, in connection with the Business Combination Closing, the Other Purchasers agreed to purchase from the Company, Class A Shares at a price of $10.00 per Class A Share;
WHEREAS, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, the Company, the Purchaser and Sponsor desire to amend and restate the Initial Forward Purchase Agreement in its entirety to provide, among other things, that following the Effective Time and the Newco Merger the Purchaser shall purchase from Newco, on a private placement basis, shares of Class A common stock of Newco (“Class A Common Stock”) at a price of $10.00 per share of Class A Common Stock (the “Forward Purchase Shares” and such aggregate purchase price, the “Forward Purchase Price”), in accordance with Section 1 herein and otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, representations, warranties and the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree to amend and restate the Initial Forward Purchase Agreement in its entirety as follows:
(ii) The Company shall require the Purchaser to purchase the Forward Purchase Shares by delivering notice (a “Notice”) to the Purchaser, at least five (5) Business Days before the funding of the Forward Purchase Price, specifying the anticipated date of the Business Combination Closing. At least two (2) Business Days before the anticipated date of the Business Combination Closing specified in a Notice, the Purchaser shall fund the Forward Purchase Price in an amount set forth in a Notice in full in free and clear funds (to an account notified by the Company to the Purchaser). If the Business Combination Closing does not occur within ten (10) days after the Purchaser funds the Forward Purchase Price in full, the Forward Purchase Price shall automatically return to the Purchaser, provided that the return of the Forward Purchase Price shall not terminate this Agreement or otherwise relieve any party of any of its obligations hereunder. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or required by law or regulation to close in the City of New York, New York. The obligation to consummate the Forward Purchase set forth in this Section 1(a)(ii) shall be transferable or assignable by the Purchaser to one or more third parties (the “Forward Transferees”) to the extent set forth in Section 5(c) and Section 10(t).
(iii) The closing of the sale of the Forward Purchase Shares (the “Forward Closing”) shall be held on the day of, and concurrently with the Business Combination Closing. At the Forward Closing, Newco shall issue to the Purchaser the Forward Purchase Shares, equal to the amount of the Forward Purchase set forth in a Notice.
(iv) At the Forward Closing, upon payment of the Forward Purchase Price, Newco shall issue the Forward Purchase Shares to the Purchaser (or any Forward Transferee) in book-entry form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions whatsoever (other than those arising under state or federal securities laws), registered in the name of the Purchaser (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions), or to a custodian designated by the Purchaser, as applicable, pursuant to written instructions delivered by the Purchaser.
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN VIOLATION OF SUCH ACT AND LAWS. THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION, OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN FORWARD PURCHASE AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG THE HOLDER AND THE COMPANY. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”

Newco shall notify the Purchaser promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 5 of which Newco is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Newco.
(ii) The Purchaser shall, severally and not jointly with any other selling shareholder named in a Forward Registration Statement, indemnify and hold harmless Newco, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each person who controls Newco (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or that are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Forward Registration Statement, any prospectus included in a Forward Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding the Purchaser furnished in writing to Newco by the Purchaser expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of the Purchaser be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Purchaser upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(i) the applicable Forward Transferee(s) shall execute a joinder to this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Joinder Agreement”), which shall, on the signature page to the Joinder Agreement, reflect the number of Forward Purchase Shares such Forward Transferee(s) shall have the right to purchase (the “Forward Transferee Shares”), and, upon such execution, such Forward Transferee(s) shall have all the same rights and obligations of the Purchaser hereunder with respect to the Forward Transferee Shares, subject to the limitations of Section 5(c)(ii) below, and references herein to the “Purchaser” shall be deemed to refer to and include any such Forward Transferee(s) with respect to such Forward Transferee(s) and to their Forward Transferee Shares; provided, that any representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Purchaser and any such Forward Transferee(s) shall be several and not joint and shall be made as to the Purchaser or any such Forward Transferee(s), as applicable, as to itself only;
(ii) all of the rights and obligations of each Forward Transferee with respect to the Forward Purchase may not be transferred or assigned, at any time and from time to time and in whole or in part, except the rights and obligations of each Forward Transferee with respect to the Forward Purchase may be transferred or assigned, at any time and from time to time and in whole or in part to any affiliate of TPG, subject to the same terms and procedures as a transfer or assignment from the Purchaser to the Forward Transferees;
(iii) upon a Forward Transferee’s execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement, the number of Forward Purchase Shares permitted to be purchased by the Purchaser in the Forward Purchase hereunder shall be reduced by the total number of Forward Purchase Shares permitted to be purchased by the applicable Forward Transferee pursuant to the applicable Joinder Agreement, which reduction shall be evidenced by the Purchaser and the Company amending Schedule A to this Agreement to reflect each transfer and updating the “Number of Forward Purchase Shares”, and “Aggregate Purchase Price for Forward Purchase Shares” on the Purchaser’s signature page hereto to reflect such reduced number of Forward Purchase Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement need not be amended and restated in its entirety, but only Schedule A and the Purchaser’s signature page hereto need be so amended and updated and executed by the Purchaser and the Company upon the occurrence of any such transfer of Forward Transferee Shares.
6. Additional Agreements and Acknowledgements of the Purchaser.
(i) The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is aware that the Company will establish a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of its public shareholders upon the IPO Closing. The Purchaser, for itself and its affiliates, hereby agrees that it has no right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, or any other asset of the Company as a result of any liquidation of the Company, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, the Purchaser may have in respect of any Public Shares, if any, held by it.
(ii) The Purchaser hereby agrees that it shall have no right of set-off or any right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”) to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account, and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account that it may have now or in the future, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, the Purchaser may have in respect of any Public Shares held by it. In the event the Purchaser has any Claim against the Company under this Agreement, the Purchaser shall pursue such Claim solely against the Company and its assets outside the Trust Account and not against the property or any monies in the Trust Account, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, the Purchaser may have in respect of any Public Shares held by it.
7. Listing. The Company and Newco will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing of the Class A Shares on the New York Stock Exchange (or another national securities exchange).

(iii) The Purchasers shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Purchasers at or prior to such Forward Closing; provided, that this condition shall be deemed satisfied unless written notice of such non-compliance is provided by the Company and Newco to the Purchaser and the Purchaser fail to cure such noncompliance in all material respects within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice; and

Closing:
(a) by mutual written consent of the Company, Newco and the Purchaser;
(b) automatically:
if the Definitive Business Combination is not consummated within 24 months from the IPO Closing, unless extended upon approval of the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the organizational documents of the Company
In the event of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9, any Forward Purchase Price (and interest thereon, if any), if previously paid, and all Purchaser’s funds paid in connection herewith shall be promptly returned to the Purchaser, the Company shall ensure appropriate instruments are executed to ensure that the any holder of Class A Shares issued in the IPO will have no claim to such funds, and thereafter this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and have no effect, without any liability on the part of the Purchaser or the Company and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, or shareholders and all rights and obligations of each of the parties shall cease; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 9 shall relieve either party from liabilities or damages arising out of any fraud or willful breach by such party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

EXHIBIT A
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
1. Newco shall (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to file within thirty (30) calendar days after the Business Combination Closing (the “Filing Date”) a registration statement on Form S-3, or if Newco is ineligible to use Form S-3, on Form S-1, for a secondary offering (including any successor registration statement covering the resale of the Registrable Securities a “Forward Registration Statement”) of (x) the Class A Shares and (y) any other equity security of Newco issued or issuable with respect to the securities referred to in clause (x) by way of a share dividend or share split, or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or reorganization and (z) any other shares of Newco that the Purchasers may have purchased in the open market (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”) pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act; (ii) to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a Forward Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable after the filing thereof but no later than the earlier of (i) the 90th calendar day (or 120th calendar day if the SEC notifies Newco that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Business Combination Closing and (ii) the 10th Business Day after the date Newco is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Date”); provided however, that Newco’s obligation to include the Registrable Securities in the Forward Registration Statement are contingent upon the Purchaser furnishing in writing to Newco such information regarding the Purchaser, the securities of Newco held by the Purchaser and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as shall be reasonably requested by Newco to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and the Purchaser shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as Newco may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that Newco shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Forward Registration Statement as permitted hereunder. Newco shall maintain each Forward Registration Statement in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep such Forward Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities included on such Forward Registration Statement. In the event Newco files a Forward Registration Statement on Form S-1, Newco shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-1 to a Form S-3 as soon as practicable after Newco is eligible to use Form S-3. For purposes of clarification, any failure by Newco to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Date or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve Newco of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth in this Exhibit A.
2. In the case of the registration, qualification, exemption or compliance effected by Newco pursuant to this Agreement, Newco shall, upon reasonable request, inform the Purchaser as to the status of such registration, qualification, exemption and compliance. At its expense the Newco shall:
(i) except for such times as Newco is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Forward Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which Newco determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to the Purchaser, and to keep the applicable Forward Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf Forward Registration Statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (i) the Purchaser ceases to hold any Registrable Securities or (ii) the date all Registrable Securities held by the Purchaser may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for Newco to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), and (iii) three (3) years from the Effective Date of the Forward Registration Statement. “Effective Date” as used herein shall mean the date on which the Forward Registration Statement is first declared effective by the SEC. The period of time during which Newco is required hereunder to keep a Forward Registration Statement effective is referred to herein as the “Registration Period”;
Exhibit A-1
(ii) during the Registration Period, advise the Purchaser within five (5) Business Days:
(1) when a Forward Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when such Forward Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;
(2) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any Forward Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;
(3) after it shall have received notice or obtained knowledge of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Forward Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;
(4) of the receipt by Newco of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and
(5) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Forward Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.
Exhibit A-2
(iii) during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Forward Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;
(iv) during the Registration Period, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 2(ii)(5) above, except for such times as Newco is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Forward Registration Statement, Newco shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Forward Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(v) during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Existing Parent Class A Shares issued by Newco have been listed; and
(vi) during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities contemplated hereby and to enable the Purchaser to sell the Registrable Securities under Rule 144.
3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Newco shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Forward Registration Statement, and from time to time to require the Purchaser not to sell under the Forward Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Newco or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event Newco’s Board of Directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by Newco in the Forward Registration Statement of material information that Newco has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Forward Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of Newco’s Board of Directors, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Forward Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements or is otherwise necessary for the Forward Registration Statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that Newco may not delay or suspend the Forward Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case during any twelvemonth period. Upon receipt of any written notice from Newco of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Forward Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Forward Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein (in the case of a Forward Registration Statement) or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, the Purchaser agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities under the Forward Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until the Purchaser receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which Newco agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by Newco that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by Newco unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by Newco, the Purchaser will deliver to Newco or, in the Purchaser’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities in the Purchaser’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities shall not apply (i) to the extent the Purchaser is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data backup.
Exhibit A-3
4. The Purchaser may deliver written notice (including via email in accordance with Section 10(a) of the Agreement) (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to Newco requesting that the Purchaser not receive notices from Newco otherwise required by this Section 4; provided, however, that the Purchaser may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from the Purchaser (unless subsequently revoked), (i) Newco shall not deliver any such notices to the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to the Purchaser’s intended use of an effective Forward Registration Statement, the Purchaser will notify Newco in writing at least two (2) Business Days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 4 and the related suspension period remains in effect, Newco will so notify the Purchaser, within one (1) Business Day of the Purchaser’s notification to Newco, by delivering to the Purchaser a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide the Purchaser with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event immediately upon its availability.
