	 	Re:	Initial Public Offering


 


Gentlemen:


 


This letter is being
delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) entered
into by and between 1347 Capital Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and EarlyBirdCapital,
Inc., as Representative (the “Representative”) of the several Underwriters named in Schedule I thereto
(the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “IPO”)
of the Company’s units (the “Units”), each comprised of one share of the Company’s common
stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), one right (“Right”)
to receive one-tenth of one share of Common Stock upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, and one
warrant to purchase one-half of one share of Common Stock (“Warrant”). Certain capitalized terms used
herein are defined in paragraph 14 hereof.


 


In order to induce the
Company and the Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the IPO, and in recognition of the benefit
that such IPO will confer upon the undersigned as a stockholder of the Company, and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees with the Company as follows:


 


		1.	If the Company solicits approval of its stockholders of
a Business Combination, the undersigned will vote all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him, her or it, whether acquired
before, in or after the IPO, in favor of such Business Combination.


 


		2.	(a) In the event that the Company fails to consummate a
Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Company’s IPO (or within 24 months if the Company has entered
into a letter of intent or definitive agreement with a target business for a Business Combination within 18 months from the closing
but such Business Combination has not yet been consummated within such 18-month period), the undersigned shall take all reasonable
steps to (i) cause the Company to cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as possible, but
no more than ten business days after the expiration of such period, redeem 100% of the outstanding IPO Shares for a pro rata portion
of the funds held in the Trust Account and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the
approval of the Company’s remaining holders of Common Stock and the Board of Directors, cause the Company to dissolve and
liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for
claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.


 


(b) The undersigned hereby waives
(i) any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any funds in the Trust Account with respect to his, her or
its Insider Shares and shares of Common Stock included in the Private Units if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination
within the requisite time period or (ii) their conversion rights with respect to shares of Common Stock held by him her or it in
connection with the completion of a Business Combination. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that there will be no distribution
from the Trust Account with respect to any Rights or Warrants held by the undersigned, all of which will terminate on the Company’s
liquidation.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


[(c) In the event of the liquidation
of the Trust Account, Kingsway Financial Services Inc. (“Kingsway”) and Fund Management Group LLC (“FMG”)
jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any and all loss, liability, claims, 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 any vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or by any target business with which
the Company has discussed entering into an agreement for a Business Combination, but only to the extent necessary to ensure that
such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense does not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below $10.00 per IPO
Share; provided that such indemnity shall not apply if such vendor or prospective target business has executed an agreement
waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the Trust Account and to any
claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act.]1


 


		3.	The undersigned will escrow all of his, her or its Insider
Shares pursuant to the terms of a Stock Escrow Agreement which the Company will enter into with the undersigned and an escrow
agent acceptable to the Company.


 


		4.	[In order to minimize potential conflicts of interest which
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 a target business, until the earlier of (i) the consummation
by the Company of a Business Combination and (ii) 24 months from the date of the prospectus for the IPO, subject to any pre-existing
fiduciary and contractual obligations the undersigned might have to another entity.] [NOT FOR INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS]


 


		5.	The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that prior to entering
into a Business Combination with a target business that is affiliated with any Insiders of the Company or their Affiliates, such
transaction must be approved by a majority of the Company’s disinterested independent directors and the Company must obtain
an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that such Business Combination is fair to the Company’s unaffiliated
stockholders from a financial point of view.


 


		6.	Neither the undersigned, any member of the immediate family
of the undersigned, nor any Affiliate of the undersigned will be entitled to receive and will not accept any fees, reimbursements
or other cash payments prior to, or for services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of the Business Combination;
provided that the Company shall be allowed (i) to repay at the consummation of a Business Combination a non-interest bearing
loan in an aggregate amount of $125,000 made to the Company by 1347 Investors LLC to cover the IPO expenses, (ii) to pay $10,000
per month to 1347 Capital LLC for office space and related services, subject to adjustment as described in the Registration Statement,
(iii) to repay working capital loans made to the Company upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the discretion of
the lender, with respect to up to an aggregate of $500,000 of working capital loans from all lenders, by converting such loans
into Private Units at a price of $10.00 per unit, as more fully described in the Registration Statement, and (iv) reimburse the
undersigned and any Affiliate of the undersigned for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with identifying, investigating
and consummating a Business Combination.


 


		7.	Neither the undersigned, any member of the immediate 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 immediate family of the undersigned or any Affiliate of the undersigned
originates a Business Combination.


 


		8.	The undersigned agrees to serve as [_________] 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 previously furnished to the Company and the Representative is true and accurate in all material respects,
does not omit any material information with respect to the undersigned’s biography and contains all of the information required
to be disclosed pursuant to Item 401 of Regulation S-K, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. The undersigned’s
FINRA Questionnaire and Regulation D Compliance Certification previously furnished to the Company and the Representative are true
and accurate in all material respects.

exercise conversion rights with respect to any shares of Common Stock owned or to be owned by the undersigned, directly or indirectly,
whether purchased by the undersigned prior to the IPO, in the IPO or in the aftermarket, and agrees that he will not seek conversion
with respect to, or otherwise sell, such shares in connection with any vote to approve a Business Combination with respect thereto.


 


		11.	The undersigned hereby agrees to not propose, or vote in
favor of, an amendment to Article Sixth of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would affect
the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the IPO Shares if the Company does not complete a
Business Combination within the requisite time period, unless the Company provides its public stockholders with the opportunity
to redeem their IPO 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 therein and not previously released to the Company
to pay its franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding IPO Shares.


 


		12.	[In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business
Combination and must liquidate and its remaining net assets are insufficient to complete such liquidation, the undersigned agrees
to advance such funds necessary to complete such liquidation and agrees not to seek repayment for such expenses.]2


 


		13.	This letter 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. The undersigned hereby (i) agrees that any action,
proceeding or claim against him, her or it arising out of or relating in any way to this letter agreement (a “Proceeding”)
shall be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York of the United States of America for the Southern District
of New York, and irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be exclusive, and (ii) waives any objection
to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.
