	 	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 Ackrell SPAC Partners I Co., 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 subunit (the “Subunits”) and one-half of a warrant. Each
Subunit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”)and one-half of a warrant, each whole warrant exercisable for
one share of Common Stock (each, a “Warrant”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 13 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, 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 the time period set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Certificate
of Incorporation”), the undersigned will, as promptly as possible, cause the Company to pay in cash to the holders of IPO Shares a per-share price equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in
the Trust Account, including interest earned on the Trust Account net of interest released to the Company as permitted pursuant to the Trust Agreement, divided by the number of then outstanding IPO Shares. 

(b) The undersigned hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any distribution of the Trust Account
(“Claim”) with respect to the shares of Founders’ Common Stock owned by the undersigned 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 Account for any reason whatsoever. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that there will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to any Warrants, all rights of which will
terminate on the Company’s liquidation. 












 (c) In the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account, Ackrell SPAC Sponsors I LLC
(“Sponsor”) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company for any debts and obligations to target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Company for services rendered or contracted for or
products sold to the Company, but only to the extent necessary to ensure that such debt or obligation does not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account below $10.10 per share; provided that such indemnity shall not apply (i) if such
vendor or prospective target business 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, or (ii) as to any claims under the Company’s obligation to
indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). 

3. 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, or another
independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions, that such Business Combination is fair to the Company’s unaffiliated stockholders from a financial point of view. 

4. Neither the undersigned nor any affiliate of the undersigned will be entitled to receive and will not accept any compensation, finder fee
or other cash payment prior to, or for services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of the Business Combination; provided that the Company shall be allowed to make the payments set forth in the Registration Statement under the caption
“Prospectus Summary – The Offering – Limited payments to insiders.” 
 5. (a) The undersigned will place into escrow all
shares of Founders’ Common Stock owned by him/her/it pursuant to the terms of a Stock Escrow Agreement which the Company will enter into with the undersigned and an escrow agent. 

(b) The undersigned agrees that until after the Company consummates a Business Combination, all Private Securities owned by him/her/it will be
subject to the transfer restrictions described in the Subscription Agreement relating to the undersigned’s Private Securities. 
 6.
(a) In order to minimize potential conflicts of interest that may arise from multiple corporate affiliations, the undersigned hereby agrees that until the earliest of the Company’s initial Business Combination or liquidation, the undersigned
shall present to the Company for its consideration, prior to presentation to any other entity, any suitable target business, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligations the undersigned
might have. 
 (b) [intentionally omitted]. 

(c) The undersigned hereby agrees and acknowledges that (i) each of the Underwriters and the Company may be irreparably injured in the
event of a breach of any of the obligations contained in this letter, (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.

 8. The undersigned has full right and power, without violating any agreement by
which he, she or it is bound, to enter into this letter agreement and to serve as a director and/or officer of the Company. 
 9. The
undersigned hereby waives any right to exercise conversion rights with respect to any shares of the Company’s common stock owned or to be owned by the undersigned, directly or indirectly (or to sell such shares to the Company in a tender
offer), whether such shares be part of the Founders’ Common Stock or shares purchased by the undersigned in the IPO or in the aftermarket, and agrees not to seek conversion with respect to such shares in connection with any vote to approve a
Business Combination (or sell such shares to the Company in a tender offer in connection with such a Business Combination). 
 10. The
undersigned hereby agrees to not propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to Article Sixth of the Certificate of Incorporation prior to the consummation of a Business Combination unless the Company provides public stockholders with the opportunity
to convert their shares of Common Stock upon such approval in accordance with such Article Sixth thereof. 
 11. (a) 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, Sponsor agrees to advance such funds necessary to complete such liquidation and agrees not to seek
repayment for such expenses. 
 (b) In the event that the Company is not able to consummate a Business Combination within 12 months and
Sponsor requests that the Company extends the period of time to consummate a business combination up to two times, each by an additional three-month period pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (each an
“Extension”), for each Extension the Sponsor will, upon five days advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, deposit into the Trust Account $1,200,000, or $1,380,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is
exercised in full ($0.10 per Unit in either case) pursuant to the terms of our Certificate of Incorporation and the Trust Agreement. Any such payments will be made in the form of non-interest bearing loans. If
the Company completes its initial Business Combination, the Company will, at the option of the lender, repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company or convert a portion or all of the total loan amount
into units at a price of $10.00 per unit, which units will be identical to the Private Securities. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the applicable period of time, the loans will not be repaid, and Sponsor agrees to
waive its right to be repaid such loans. Sponsor is under no obligation to fund the Trust Account to extend the time for the Company to complete its initial Business Combination. 

12. 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. Each of the Company and the undersigned hereby (i) agrees that any action, proceeding or claim against him 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.
