		Re:	Initial
                                         Public Offering

 

Ladies
and Gentlemen:

 

This
letter (this “Letter Agreement”) is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the
“Underwriting Agreement”) to be entered into by and among Hennessy Capital Investment Corp. VI, a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”) and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Barclays Capital Inc. (collectively, the
“Representatives”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “Public Offering”),
of 23,000,000 of the Company’s units (including up to 3,000,000 units that may be purchased to cover over-allotments, if
any) (the “Units”), each comprised of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001
per share (the “Common Stock”), and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant. Each whole Warrant (each, a “Warrant”)
entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units
will be sold in the Public Offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 and prospectus (the “Prospectus”)
filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and the Company has
applied to have the Units listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph
11 hereof.

 

In
order to induce the Company and the Representatives to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the Public Offering
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Hennessy Capital
Partners VI LLC (the “Sponsor”) and each of the undersigned individuals, each of whom is a member of the Company’s
board of directors and/or management team (each, an “Insider” and collectively, the “Insiders”),
hereby severally (and not jointly and severally) agrees with the Company as follows:

 

1. The
Sponsor and each Insider agrees that if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, then in connection
with such proposed Business Combination, it, he or she shall (i) vote any shares of Capital Stock owned by it, him or her in favor
of any proposed Business Combination and (ii) not redeem any shares of Common Stock owned by it, him or her in connection with
such stockholder approval. If the Company seeks to consummate a proposed Business Combination by engaging in a tender offer, the
Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it, he or she will not sell or tender any shares of Capital Stock owned by it, him or her
in connection therewith.

 

2. The
Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees that in the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 24
months from the closing of the Public Offering (or 27 months from the closing of the Public Offering, if the Company has executed
a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for its initial Business Combination within 24 months from
the closing of the Public Offering but has not completed its initial Business Combination within such 24-month period), or such
later period approved by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate
of incorporation (the “Charter”), the Sponsor and each Insider shall take all reasonable steps to cause the
Company to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more
than 10 business days thereafter, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the Common Stock sold as part of
the Units in the Public Offering (the “Offering Shares”), at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the
aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (net of amounts withdrawn to pay the Company’s
taxes (“Permitted Withdrawals”)) and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses)), divided
by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish all Public Stockholders’
rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law,
and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining
stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations
under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. The Sponsor and each Insider agree
to not propose any amendment to the Charter that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem
100% of the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the required time period set forth
in the Charter or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business
combination activity, unless the Company provides its Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Offering 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 (net of Permitted Withdrawals), divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares.

 

     

     

    

 

The
Sponsor and each Insider acknowledges that it, he or she has no right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies
held in the Trust Account as a result of any liquidation of the Company with respect to the Founder Shares held by it, him or
her. The Sponsor and each Insider hereby further waive, with respect to any shares of Common Stock held by it, him or her, if
any, any redemption rights it, he or she may have in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, including, without
limitation, any such rights available in the context of a stockholder vote to approve such Business Combination or in the context
of a tender offer made by the Company to purchase shares of Common Stock (although the Sponsor, the Insiders and their respective
affiliates shall be entitled to redemption and liquidation rights with respect to any Offering Shares it or they hold if the Company
fails to consummate a Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Charter or in connection with a stockholder
vote to approve an amendment to the Charter to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100%
of the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Charter
or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity).

 

3. During
the period commencing on the effective date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending 180 days after such date, the Sponsor and
each Insider shall not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to
sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly,
or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section
16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations of
the Commission promulgated thereunder, with respect to any Units, shares of Capital Stock, Warrants or any securities convertible
into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock owned by it, him or her, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement
that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Units, shares of Capital
Stock, Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock owned by it, him
or her, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly
announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii).

 

4. In
the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account, the Sponsor (which for purposes of clarification shall not extend to any other
shareholders, members or managers of the Sponsor or any other Insider) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against
any and all loss, liability, claim, 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 (i) any third party for services rendered
or products sold to the Company or (ii) any prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a letter of intent,
confidentiality or other similar agreement for a Business Combination (a “Target”); provided, however,
that such indemnification of the Company by the Sponsor (x) shall apply only to the extent necessary to ensure that such claims
by a third party or a Target do not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Offering
Share or (ii) the actual amount per Offering Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account,
if less than $10.00 per Offering Share is then held in the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets less
Permitted Withdrawals, (y) shall not apply to any claims by a third party (including a Target) that executed a waiver of any and
all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) and (z) shall not apply to any
claims under the Company’s indemnity of the Representatives against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Sponsor shall have the right to defend against any such claim with counsel of its choice
reasonably satisfactory to the Company if, within 15 days following written receipt of notice of the claim to the Sponsor, the
Sponsor notifies the Company in writing that it shall undertake such defense. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Company’s
officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by third parties, including, without limitation, claims by vendors
and prospective target businesses.

 

    2

     

    

 

5. To
the extent that the Representatives do not exercise their over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 Units
within 45 days from the date of the Prospectus (and as further described in the Prospectus), the Sponsor agrees to forfeit, at
no cost, a number of Founder Shares in the aggregate equal to the product of 750,000 multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator
of which is 3,000,000 minus the number of Units purchased by the Representatives upon the exercise of its over-allotment option,
and (ii) the denominator of which is 3,000,000. The forfeiture will be adjusted to the extent that the over-allotment option is
not exercised in full by the Representatives so that the Initial Stockholders will own an aggregate of 20.0% of the Company’s
issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock after the Public Offering. To the extent that the size of the Public Offering is
increased or decreased, the Company will effect a capitalization or share repurchase, redemption or stock split or other appropriate
mechanism, as applicable, immediately prior to the consummation of the Public Offering in such amount as to maintain the ownership
of the Capital Stock of the Initial Stockholders prior to the Public Offering at 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding
Capital Stock upon the consummation of the Public Offering. In connection with such increase or decrease in the size of the Public
Offering, (A) references to 3,000,000 in the numerator and denominator of the formula in the first sentence of this paragraph
shall be changed to a number equal to 15% of the number of shares included in the Units issued in the Public Offering and (B)
the reference to 750,000 in the formula set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall be adjusted to such number of Founder
Shares that the Sponsor would have to return to the Company in order to hold (with all of the Initial Stockholders) an aggregate
of 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Capital Stock after the Public Offering.

 

6. (a) The
Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees and acknowledges that: (i) the Representatives and the Company would be irreparably injured
in the event of a breach by such Sponsor or an Insider of its, his or her obligations under paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7(a), 7(b),
and 9, as applicable, of this Letter Agreement (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.

 

7. (a)
The Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it, he or she shall not Transfer any Founder Shares (or shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion thereof) until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination
or (B) subsequent to the Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00
per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading
days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Company’s initial Business Combination or (y)
the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction
that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities
or other property (the “Founder Shares Lock-up Period”).

 

(b) The
Sponsor and each Insider agree that it, he or she shall not Transfer any Private Placement Warrants (or shares of Common Stock
issued or issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination
(the “Private Placement Warrants Lock-up Period”, together with the Founder Shares Lock-up Period, the “Lock-up
Periods”).

 

    3

     

    

 

(c) Notwithstanding
the provisions set forth in paragraphs 3 and 7(a) and (b), Transfers of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and shares
of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Private Placement Warrants or the Founder Shares and
that are held by the Sponsor, any Insider or any of their permitted transferees (that have complied with this paragraph 7(c)),
are permitted (a) to the Company’s officers or directors, any affiliates or family members of any of the Company’s
officers or directors, any members of the Sponsor, or any affiliates of the Sponsor; (b) in the case of an individual, transfers
by gift to a member of the individual’s immediate family, to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s
immediate family or an affiliate of such person, or to a charitable organization; (c) in the case of an individual, transfers
by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (d) in the case of an individual, transfers pursuant
to a qualified domestic relations order; (e) transfers by private sales or transfers made in connection with the consummation
of a Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the securities were originally purchased; (f) transfers
in the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to the completion of an initial Business Combination; (g) transfers by virtue
of the laws of the State of Delaware or the Sponsor’s limited liability company agreement upon dissolution of the Sponsor;
(h) in the event of the Company’s completion of a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction
which results in all of the Company’s public stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A common stock
for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the completion of the initial business combination; (i) to a nominee or custodian
of a person or entity to whom a disposition or transfer would be permissible under clauses (a) through (h) above; provided, however,
that in the case of clauses (a) through (e) and (i), these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement with the
Company agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions herein and the other restrictions contained in this Agreement (including
provisions relating to voting, the Trust Account and liquidating distributions).

 

8. The
Sponsor and each Insider represent and warrant that it, he or she has never been suspended or expelled from membership in any
securities or commodities exchange or association or had a securities or commodities license or registration denied, suspended
or revoked. Each Insider’s biographical information furnished to the Company (including any such information included in
the Prospectus) is true and accurate in all respects and does not omit any material information with respect to the Insider’s
background. The Sponsor and each Insider’s questionnaire furnished to the Company is true and accurate in all respects.
The Sponsor and each Insider represents and warrants that: it, he or she is not subject to or a respondent in any legal action
for, any injunction, cease-and-desist order or order or stipulation to desist or refrain from any act or practice relating to
the offering of securities in any jurisdiction; it, he or she has never been convicted of, or pleaded guilty to, any crime (i)
involving fraud, (ii) relating to any financial transaction or handling of funds of another person, or (iii) pertaining to any
dealings in any securities and it, he or she is not currently a defendant in any such criminal proceeding.

 

9. Except
as disclosed in the Prospectus, neither the Sponsor nor any Insider nor any affiliate of the Sponsor or any Insider, nor any director
or officer of the Company, shall receive from the Company any finder’s fee, reimbursement, consulting fee, monies in respect
of any repayment of a loan or other compensation prior to, or in connection with any services rendered in order to effectuate
the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is), other
than the following, none of which will be made from the proceeds held in the Trust Account prior to the completion of the initial
Business Combination: repayment of a loan and advances of up to $500,000 made to the Company by the Sponsor to cover expenses
related to the organization of the Company and the Public Offering; payment to an affiliate of the Sponsor for certain office
space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support as may be reasonably required by the Company for a total of $15,000
per month; reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and consummating
an initial Business Combination, and repayment of loans, if any, and on such terms as to be determined by the Company from time
to time, made by the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection
with an intended initial Business Combination, provided, that, if the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination,
a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account may be used by the Company to repay such loaned amounts so long
as no proceeds from the Trust Account are used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants
of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical
to the Private Placement Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period.

 

    4

     

    

 

10. The
Sponsor and each Insider has full right and power, without violating any agreement to which it is bound (including, without limitation,
any non-competition or non-solicitation agreement with any employer or former employer), to enter into this Letter Agreement and,
as applicable, to serve as an officer and/or a director on the board of directors of the Company and hereby consents to being
named in the Prospectus as an officer and/or a director of the Company.

purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, involving the Company and one or more businesses; (ii) “Capital
Stock” shall mean, collectively, the Common Stock and the Founder Shares; (iii) “Founder Shares”

if the over-allotment option is not exercised by the Representatives) initially held by the Sponsor, officers, independent directors
and/or director nominees and advisors of the Company; (iv) “Initial Stockholders” shall mean the Sponsor and
any other holder of Founder Shares immediately prior to the Public Offering; (v) “Private Placement Warrants”
shall mean the warrants to purchase up to 4,666,667 shares of Common Stock of the Company (or 5,066,667 shares of Common Stock

aggregate purchase price of $7,000,000 in the aggregate (or $7,600,000 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full), or
$1.50 per warrant, in a private placement that shall occur simultaneously with the consummation of the Public Offering; (vi) “Public
Stockholders” shall mean the holders of securities issued in the Public Offering; (vii) “Trust Account”

12. This
Letter Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof
and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, to the
extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby. This Letter Agreement may
not be changed, amended, modified or waived (other than to correct a typographical error) as to any particular provision, except
by a written instrument executed by all parties hereto.

 

13. Except
as otherwise provided herein, no party hereto may assign either this Letter Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall

Agreement shall be binding on the Sponsor and each Insider and their respective successors, heirs and assigns and permitted transferees.

 

14. Nothing

16. This
Letter Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not affect
the validity or enforceability of this Letter Agreement or of any other term or provision hereof. Furthermore, in lieu of any

Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid and enforceable.

 

17. 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 parties hereto (i) all agree that any action, proceeding, claim or dispute arising out of, or relating in any way to, this
Letter Agreement shall be brought and enforced in the courts of New York City, in the State of New York, and irrevocably submit
to such jurisdiction and venue, which jurisdiction and venue shall be exclusive and (ii) waive any objection to such exclusive
jurisdiction and venue or that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.

 

18. Any
notice, consent or request to be given in connection with any of the terms or provisions of this Letter Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be sent by express mail or similar private courier service, by certified mail (return receipt requested), by

THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:

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
(or 27 months from the closing of the Offering, if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive
agreement for its initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the Offering but has not completed its initial
business combination within such 24-month period) 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 pay dissolution expenses) shall be distributed to the Public Stockholders
of record as of such date;

 

(j)
Upon written request from the Company, which may be given from time to time in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto
as Exhibit C (a “Tax Payment Withdrawal Instruction”), withdraw from the Trust Account
and distribute to the Company the amount of interest earned on the Property requested by the Company to cover any tax obligation
owed by the Company as a result of assets of the Company or interest or other income earned on the Property, which such payment
the Company shall forward to the relevant taxing 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 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 beyond said request;

 

(k) [Reserved];

(l)
Upon written request from the Company, which may be given from time to time in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto
as Exhibit D (a “Stockholder Redemption Withdrawal Instruction”), the Trustee shall distribute
to the Public Stockholders on behalf of the Company the amount requested by the Company to be used to redeem shares of Common
Stock from Public Stockholders properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s
amended and 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

  

(m)
Not make any withdrawals or distributions from the Trust Account other than pursuant to Section 1(i), (j) or (l) above.

 

2. Agreements
and Covenants of the Company. The Company hereby agrees and covenants to:

 

(a)
Give all instructions to the Trustee hereunder in writing, signed by the Company’s Chairman of the Board, President,
Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Secretary. In addition, except with respect to its duties under Sections 1(i),
1(j), 1(k) and 1(l) 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;

 

(c)
Pay the Trustee the fees set forth on Schedule A hereto, including an initial set-up fee, annual administration
fee, and transaction processing fee which fees shall be subject to modification by the parties from time to time. It is expressly
understood that the Property shall not be used to pay such fees unless and until the property is distributed to the Company pursuant
to Sections 1(i) hereof. The Company shall pay the Trustee the initial set-up fee and the first annual administration
fee at the consummation of the Offering. The Trustee shall refund to the Company the annual administration fee (on a pro
rata basis) with respect to any period after the liquidation of the Trust Account. 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;

 

    3

     

    

 

(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;

 

(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 $7,000,000, or $8,050,000 if the underwriters’ overallotment option is exercised in full.

 

3. Limitations
of Liability. The Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability to:

 

(a)
Perform any implied duties or obligations, inquire or otherwise be subject to the provisions of any agreement or document other
than this Agreement and that which is expressly set forth herein;

 

(b)
Take any action with respect to the Property, other than as directed in Section 1 hereof, and the Trustee shall have
no liability to any party except for liability arising out of the Trustee’s, or its representatives’, gross negligence,

(c)
Institute any proceeding for the collection of any principal and income arising from, or institute, appear in or defend any proceeding
of any kind with respect to, any of the Property unless and until it shall have received instructions from the Company given as

expenses incident thereto;

 

(d) Change
the investment of any Property, other than in compliance with Section 1 hereof, and in no event shall the Trustee
be liable for the selection of investments or for investment losses incurred thereon or for losses incurred as a result of the
liquidation of any such investment prior to its maturity date or the failure of the Company to provide timely written investment
instruction

 

(e)
Refund any depreciation in principal of any Property;

 

(f)
Assume that the authority of any person designated by the Company to give instructions hereunder shall not be continuing unless
provided otherwise in such designation, or unless the Company shall have delivered a written revocation of such authority to the
Trustee;

 

(g)
The other parties hereto or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or
omitted, in good faith and in the Trustee’s best judgment, except for the Trustee’s, or its representatives’,
gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct. The Trustee may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order,
notice, 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 effectiveness
of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained) which the Trustee believes,
in good faith and with reasonable care, to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The Trustee
shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement or any of
the terms hereof, unless evidenced by a written instrument delivered to the Trustee, signed by the proper party or parties and,
if the duties or rights of the Trustee are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto;

on the Property;

 

(k)
Prepare, execute and file tax reports, income or other tax returns and pay any taxes with respect to any income generated by,

or

 

(l)
Verify calculations, qualify or otherwise approve the Company’s written requests for distributions pursuant to Sections 1(i), 1(j)
and 1(l) hereof.

 

4. Trust
Account Waiver. The Trustee has 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. In the event the Trustee has any Claim against the Company under this Agreement, including,
without limitation, under Section 2(b) or Section 2(c) hereof, the Trustee 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.

 

5. Termination
and Replacement of Trustee. This Agreement shall terminate as follows:

 

(a)
If the Trustee gives written notice to the Company that it desires to resign under this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable
efforts to locate a successor trustee, pending which the Trustee shall continue to act in accordance with this Agreement. At such
time that the Company notifies the Trustee that a successor trustee has been appointed and has agreed to become subject to the
terms of this Agreement, the Trustee shall transfer the management of the Trust Account to the successor trustee, including but
not limited to the transfer of copies of the reports and statements and any other reasonable transfer requests that the Company
may make, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate; provided, however, that in the event that the Company
does not locate a successor trustee within ninety (90) days of receipt of the resignation notice from the Trustee, the Trustee
may submit an application to have the Property deposited with any court in the State of New York or with the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York and upon such deposit, the Trustee shall be immune from any liability
whatsoever; or

 

(b)
At such time that the Trustee has completed the liquidation of the Trust Account and its obligations in accordance with the provisions
of Section 1(i) hereof and distributed the Property in accordance with the provisions of the Termination
Letter, this Agreement shall 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, or its representatives’, gross negligence, fraud, or
willful misconduct, the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss, liability or expense resulting from any error in the information
or transmission of the funds.

 

    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.

 

(f)

	 	Re:	Trust Account No. 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) [an affidavit] [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.
