obligations, as determined by the Company, it being understood that the Trustee has no obligation to monitor or question the
Company’s determination that an investment is in compliance with the foregoing clause; the Company shall not instruct the

(d) Collect

as such term is used herein;

soon as practicable notify the Company and the Representatives of all communications received by the Trustee with respect to any Property
requiring action by the Company;


 


(f) Supply
any necessary information or documents as may be requested by the Company (or its authorized agents) in connection with the Company’s

the Company (“Termination Letter”) in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as either Exhibit A
or Exhibit B, as applicable, signed on behalf of the Company by its Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer,
Secretary or Chairman of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) or other authorized officer of the Company
and, in the case of Exhibit A, acknowledged and agreed to by the Representatives and complete the liquidation of the Trust Account
and distribute the Property in the Trust Account, including interest earned on funds held in the Trust Account (net of amounts withdrawn
in accordance with this Agreement and less up to $100,000 of interest that may be released to the Company to pay dissolution expenses),
only as directed in the Termination Letter and the other documents referred to therein, or (y) upon the date which is the later of (i)
24 months after the closing of the Offering and (ii) such later date as may be approved by the Company’s stockholders in accordance
with the Company’s amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation, if a Termination Letter has not been received by the Trustee
prior to such date, in which case the Trust Account shall be liquidated in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Termination
Letter attached as Exhibit B and the Property in the Trust Account, including interest earned on funds held in the Trust Account
(net of amounts withdrawn in accordance with this Agreement and less up to $100,000 of interest that may be released to the Company to

authority; provided, however, that to the extent there is not sufficient cash in the Trust Account to pay such tax obligation,
the Trustee shall liquidate such assets held in the Trust Account as shall be designated by the Company in writing to make such distribution,
so long as there is no reduction in the principal amount per share initially deposited in the Trust account; provided, further,
that if the tax to be paid is a franchise tax, the written request by the Company to make such distribution shall be accompanied by a
copy of the franchise tax bill from the relevant taxing authority for the Company. The written request of the Company referenced above
shall constitute presumptive evidence that the Company is entitled to said funds, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility to look

restated Certificate of Incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its
public shares of Common Stock if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within such time as is described in
the Company’s amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation or with respect to any other material provisions relating to
stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. The written request of the Company referenced above shall
constitute presumptive evidence that the Company is entitled to distribute said funds, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility
to look beyond said request; and

make any withdrawals or distributions from the Trust Account other than pursuant to Section 1(i), (j) or (l) above.

hereof, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, any such written instructions and, further, any
verbal or telephonic advice or instruction which it, in good faith and with reasonable care, believes to be given by any one of the persons
authorized above to give written instructions, provided that the Company shall promptly confirm such instructions in writing;


 


(b) Subject
to Section 4 hereof, hold the Trustee harmless and indemnify the Trustee from and against any and all expenses, including
reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, or losses suffered by the Trustee in connection with any action taken by it hereunder and
in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding brought against the Trustee involving any claim, or in connection with any
claim or demand, which arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the services of the Trustee hereunder, or the Property or any
interest earned on the Property, except for expenses and losses resulting from the Trustee’s, or its representatives’,
gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. Promptly after the receipt by the Trustee of notice of demand or claim or the
commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, pursuant to which the Trustee intends to seek indemnification under this Section
2(b), it shall notify the Company in writing of such claim (hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnified
Claim”). The Trustee shall have the right to conduct and manage the defense against such Indemnified Claim; provided
that the Trustee shall obtain the consent of the Company with respect to the selection of counsel, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned, or delayed; provided, further that the Company may conduct and manage the defense against any
Indemnified Claim if the Trustee does not promptly take reasonable steps to mount such a defense. The Trustee may not agree to
settle any Indemnified Claim without the prior written consent of the Company. The Company may participate in any such action with
its own counsel;

the Trustee the fees set forth on Schedule A hereto, including an initial set-up fee, annual administration fee, and

consummation of the Offering. The Company shall not be responsible for any other fees or charges of the Trustee except as set forth
in this Section 2(c), Schedule A and as may be provided in Section 2(b) hereof;


 


(d) In
connection with any vote of the Company’s stockholders regarding a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock
purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses (the “Business
Combination”), provide to the Trustee an affidavit or certificate of the inspector of elections for the stockholder
meeting verifying the vote of such stockholders regarding such Business Combination;


 


(e) Provide
the Representatives with a copy of any Termination Letter(s) and/or any other correspondence that is sent to the Trustee with respect
to any proposed withdrawal from the Trust Account promptly after it issues the same;


 






    3


    


    

 


(f) Unless
otherwise agreed between the Company and the Representatives, ensure that any Instruction Letter delivered in connection with a Termination
Letter in the form of Exhibit A expressly provides that the Deferred Discount is paid directly to the accounts as directed by
the Representatives prior to any transfer of the funds held in the Trust Account to the Company or any other person;


 


(g) Instruct
the Trustee to make only those distributions that are permitted under this Agreement, and refrain from instructing the Trustee to make
any distributions that are not permitted under this Agreement; and


 


(h) Within
four (4) business days after the Representatives exercise the over-allotment option (or any unexercised portion thereof) or such over-allotment
expires, provide the Trustee with a notice in writing of the total amount of the Deferred Discount, which shall in no event be less than
$10,500,000 or

demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Trustee, which counsel may be the Company’s
counsel), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and

terminate except with respect to Section 2(b).


 


6.
Miscellaneous.


 


(a) The
Company and the Trustee each acknowledge that the Trustee will follow the security procedures set forth below with respect to funds transferred
from the Trust Account. The Company and the Trustee will each restrict access to confidential information relating to such security procedures
to authorized persons. Each party must notify the other party immediately if it has reason to believe unauthorized persons may have obtained
access to such confidential information, or of any change in its authorized personnel. In executing funds transfers, the Trustee shall
rely upon all information supplied to it by the Company, including, account names, account numbers, and all other identifying information
relating to a Beneficiary, Beneficiary’s bank or intermediary bank. Except for any liability arising out of the Trustee’s,

    5


    


    

 


(b) This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving
effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. This
Agreement may be executed in several original or facsimile counterparts, each one of which shall constitute an original, and
together shall constitute but one instrument.


 


(c) This
Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement
or any provision hereof may only be changed, amended or modified (other than to correct a typographical error) by a writing signed by
each of the parties hereto.


 


(d) Sections
1(i) and 1(l) hereof may only be changed, amended or modified pursuant to Section 6(c) hereof with the Consent of the
Stockholders, it being the specific intention of the parties hereto that each of the Company’s stockholders is, and shall be,
a third party beneficiary of this Section 6(d) with the same right and power to enforce this Section 6(d) as the other
parties hereto. For purposes of this Section 6(d), the “Consent of the Stockholders” means receipt by the
Trustee of a certificate from the inspector of elections of the stockholder meeting certifying that either (i) the Company’s
stockholders of record as of a record date established in accordance with Section 213(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as
amended (“DGCL”) (or any successor rule), who hold sixty-five percent (65%) or more of all then outstanding
shares of the Common Stock and Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company voting together as a single class,
have voted in favor of such change, amendment or modification, or (ii) the Company’s stockholders of record as of the record
date who hold sixty-five percent (65%) or more of all then outstanding shares of the Common Stock and Class B common stock, par
value $0.0001 per share, of the Company voting together as a single class, have delivered to such entity a signed writing approving
such change, amendment or modification. No such amendment will affect any Public Stockholder who has otherwise indicated his
election to redeem his share of Common Stock in connection with a stockholder vote sought to amend the Certificate of Incorporation.
Except for any liability arising out of the Trustee’s, or its representatives’, gross negligence, fraud, or willful
misconduct, the Trustee may rely conclusively on the certification from the inspector or elections referenced above and shall be
relieved of all liability to any party for executing the proposed amendment in reliance thereon.


 


(e) The
parties hereto consent to the jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court located in the City of New York, County of New York,
State of New York, for purposes of resolving any disputes hereunder. AS TO ANY CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM IN ANY WAY RELATING
TO THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

notice, consent or request to be given in connection with any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall

		Re:	Trust
Account Termination Letter


 


Ladies
and Gentlemen:


 


Pursuant
to Section 1(i) of the Investment Management Trust Agreement between Hennessy Capital Investment Corp. VI (the
“Company”) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”), dated as
of, 2021 (the “Trust Agreement”), this is to advise you that the Company has entered into an agreement
with [insert name] (the “Target Business”) to consummate a business combination with Target Business (the
“Business Combination”) on or about [insert date]. The Company shall notify you at least seventy-two (72) hours
in advance of the actual date of the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Consummation Date”).
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Trust Agreement.


 


In
accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, we hereby authorize you to commence to liquidate all of the assets of the Trust Account,
and to transfer the proceeds into the trust operating account at JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. to the effect that, on the Consummation Date,
all of the funds held in the Trust Account will be immediately available for transfer to the account or accounts that the Company shall
direct on the Consummation Date (including as directed to it by the Representatives) (with respect to the Deferred Discount). It is acknowledged
and agreed that while the funds are on deposit in the trust operating account at JPMorgan Chase Bank


N.A.
awaiting distribution, the Company will not earn any interest or dividends.


 


On
the Consummation Date (i) counsel for the Company shall deliver to you written notification that the Business Combination has been consummated,
or will be consummated concurrently with your transfer of funds to the accounts as directed by the Company (the “Notification”)
and (ii) the Company shall deliver to you (a) a certificate of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, which verifies that the Business
Combination has been


approved
by a vote of the Company’s stockholders, if a vote is held and (b) a joint written instruction signed by the Company and the Representatives
with respect to the transfer of the funds held in the Trust Account, including payment of amounts owed to public stockholders who have
properly exercised their redemptions rights and payment of amounts of the Deferred Discount to the underwriter from the Trust Account
(the “Instruction Letter”). You are hereby directed and authorized to transfer the funds held in the Trust Account
immediately upon your receipt of the Notification and the Instruction Letter, in accordance with the terms of the Instruction Letter.
In the event that certain deposits held in the Trust Account may not be liquidated by the Consummation Date without penalty, you will
notify the Company in writing of the same and the Company shall direct you as to whether such funds should remain in the Trust Account
and be distributed after the Consummation Date to the Company. Upon the distribution of all the funds, net of any payments necessary
for reasonable unreimbursed expenses related to liquidating the Trust Account, your obligations under the Trust Agreement shall be terminated.


 


In
the event that the Business Combination is not consummated on the Consummation Date described in the notice thereof and we have not notified
you on or before the original Consummation Date of a new Consummation Date, then upon receipt by the Trustee of written instructions
from the Company, the funds held in the Trust Account shall be reinvested as provided in Section 1(c) of the Trust Agreement on the business
day immediately following the Consummation Date as set forth in such written instruction as soon thereafter as possible.
