Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter agreement
by and between KL Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) and Kennedy Lewis Management LP (“Kennedy
Lewis”), dated as of the date hereof, will confirm our agreement that, commencing on the date the securities of the
Company are first listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Listing Date”), pursuant to a Registration
Statement on Form S-1 and prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Registration
Statement”) and continuing until the earlier of the consummation by the Company of an initial business combination
or the Company’s liquidation (in each case as described in the Registration Statement) (such earlier date hereinafter referred
to as the “Termination Date”):

 

(i) Kennedy Lewis
shall make available, or cause to be made available, to the Company, at 111 West 33rd Street, Suite 1910, New York, NY
10120 (or any successor location of Kennedy Lewis), certain office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative services
as may be reasonably required by the Company. In exchange therefor, the Company shall pay Kennedy Lewis the sum of $10,000 per
month on the Listing Date and continuing monthly thereafter until the Termination Date; and

 

(ii) Kennedy Lewis
hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title, interest, causes of action and claims of any kind as a result of, or arising
out of, this letter agreement (each, a “Claim”) in or to, and any and all right to seek payment of any
amounts due to it out of, the trust account established for the benefit of the public stockholders of the Company and into which
substantially all of the proceeds of the Company’s initial public offering will be deposited (the “Trust Account”)
as a result of, or arising out of, this letter agreement, and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim it may have in the future, which
Claim would reduce, encumber or otherwise adversely affect the Trust Account or any monies or other assets in the Trust Account,
and further agrees not to seek recourse, reimbursement, payment or satisfaction of any Claim against the Trust Account or any monies
or other assets in the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever.

 

This letter agreement
constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of its subject matter 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 amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto.

 

No party hereto may
assign either this letter agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval
of the other party. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate
to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee.

 

This letter agreement
constitutes the entire relationship of the parties hereto, and any litigation between the parties (whether grounded in contract,
tort, statute, law or equity) shall be governed by, construed in accordance with, and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State
of New York, without giving effect to its choice of law principles.

Re:     Initial
Public Offering

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter (the “Letter Agreement”)
is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”)
entered into by and between KL Acquisition Corp, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Goldman Sachs &
Co. LLC, 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 unit comprised of one share of the Company’s Class A
common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and one-third of one redeemable warrant,
each whole warrant exercisable for one share of Common Stock (each, a “Warrant”). Certain capitalized
terms used herein are defined in paragraph 11 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 or her, whether acquired before, in or after the IPO, in favor of such Business Combination.

 

		2.	In the event that the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Company’s
amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as the same may be further amended from time to time (the “Charter”),
the undersigned will, as promptly as possible, take all necessary actions 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,
redeem the IPO Shares, 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 Trust Account not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations, if any (less
up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding IPO Shares, which redemption
will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation
distributions, if any), 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 the cases
of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and
other requirements of applicable law. The undersigned hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in
or to any distribution of the Trust Account and any remaining net assets of the Company as a result of such liquidation with respect
to the Founder Shares owned by the undersigned. However, if any of the undersigned have acquired IPO Shares in or after the IPO,
they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such IPO Shares in the event that the
Company does not complete a Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Charter. 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.

 

    

     

    

 

		3.	The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that prior to entering into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination with
a target business that is affiliated with the undersigned or any other Insiders of the Company or their affiliates, such transaction
must be approved by a majority of the Company’s independent directors and the Company must obtain an opinion from an independent
investment banking firm, which is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”),
or an independent accounting firm that such Business Combination is fair to the Company’s unaffiliated stockholders from
a financial point of view.

 

		4.	None of the undersigned, any member of the family of any of the undersigned, or any affiliate of the undersigned will be entitled
to receive and will not accept any compensation or other cash payment from the Company prior to, or for services rendered in order
to effectuate, the completion of the Business Combination; provided that the Company shall be allowed to make the payments set
forth in the Registration Statement adjacent to the caption “Prospectus Summary—The Offering—Limited payments
to insiders.”

 

		5.	(a)	The undersigned agrees that the Founder Shares
may not be transferred, assigned or sold (except to certain permitted transferees as described in the Registration Statement or
herein) (the “Lockup”) until the earlier to occur of: (1) one year after the completion of a Business
Combination or (2) the date following the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination on which the Company
completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange 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. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share
splits, stock capitalizations, 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, the Founder Shares will be released
from the Lockup.

 

		(b)	Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraphs 5(a) and 5(c), during the period commencing on the effective date
of the Underwriting Agreement and ending 180 days after such date, the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent
of the Representative pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate,
pledge, hedge or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of (or enter into any transaction that is designed to, or might reasonably
be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement
or otherwise) by the undersigned or any affiliate of the undersigned or any person in privity with the undersigned or any affiliate
of the undersigned), directly or indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in respect of, 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 SEC
promulgated thereunder with respect to, any other Units, shares of Common Stock, Founder Shares or 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 Common Stock, Founder Shares, 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, including the filing of a registration statement, specified
in clause (i) or (ii). The provisions of this paragraph will not apply (i) to the transfer of Founder Shares to any independent
director appointed or elected to the Company’s board of directors before or after the IPO or (ii) if the release or
waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration and, in each case the transferee has agreed in writing to
be bound by the same terms described in this Letter Agreement to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect
at the time of the transfer.

 

    

     

    

 

		(c)	The undersigned agrees that until the Company completes an initial Business Combination, the undersigned’s Private Placement
Warrants will be subject to the transfer restrictions described in the Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement relating to
the undersigned’s Private Placement Warrants.

 

		(d)	Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraphs 5(a) and (c), transfers, assignments and sales by the undersigned
of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of the Private
Placement Warrants or conversion of the Founder Shares are permitted (i) to the Company’s officers or directors, any
affiliates or family members of any of the Company’s officers or directors, to KL Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (the “Sponsor”), any members or partners of the Sponsor or their affiliates, any affiliates of
the Sponsor, or any employees of such affiliates; (ii) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of the individual’s
immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of one of the individual’s immediate family, an affiliate
of such person or to a charitable organization; (iii) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution
upon death of the individual; (iv) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (v) by
private sales or transfers made in connection with the completion of the Business Combination at prices no greater than the price
at which the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants or shares of Common Stock, as applicable, were originally purchased; (vi) by
virtue of the Sponsor’s organizational documents upon liquidation or dissolution of the Sponsor; (vii) to the Company
for no value for cancellation in connection with the completion of the Business Combination; (viii) in the event of the Company’s
liquidation prior to the completion of a Business Combination; or (ix) in the event of completion of a liquidation, merger,
share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange
their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination; provided,
however, that in the case of clauses (i) through (vi) these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement
agreeing to be bound by the restrictions herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the transfers of Founder Shares, Private Placement
Warrants and shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or conversion of the
Founder Shares shall be permitted regardless of whether a filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall be required
or shall be voluntarily made with respect to such transfers.

 

    

     

    

 

		(e)	The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that if, in order to complete any Business Combination, the holders of Founder Shares
or Private Placement Warrants are required to contribute back to the capital of the Company a portion of any such securities to
be cancelled by the Company or transfer any such securities to third parties, the undersigned will contribute back to the capital
of the Company or transfer to such third parties, at no cost, a proportionate number of Founder Shares or Private Placement Warrants,
as applicable, pro rata with the other holders of Founder Shares or Private Placement Warrants, as applicable.

 

		6.	The undersigned agrees to be a director or officer of the Company, as applicable, until the earlier of the completion by the
Company of an initial Business Combination, the liquidation of the Company, or his or her removal, death or incapacity. In the
event of the removal or resignation of the undersigned as a director or officer (as applicable), the undersigned agrees that he
or she will not, prior to the completion of the Business Combination, without the prior express written consent of the Company,
(i) use for the benefit of the undersigned or to the detriment of the Company or (ii) disclose to any third party (unless
required by law or governmental authority), any information regarding a potential target of the Company that is not generally known
by persons outside of the Company, the Sponsor or their respective affiliates. 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 background 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, as amended. The undersigned’s FINRA Questionnaire
previously furnished to the Company and the Representative is true and accurate in all material respects. The undersigned represents
and warrants that:

 

		(a)	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;

 

		(b)	He or she has never been convicted of or pleaded guilty to any crime (i) involving any fraud or (ii) relating to
any financial transaction or handling of funds of another person, or (iii) pertaining to any dealings in any securities and
he is not currently a defendant in any such criminal proceeding; and

 

		(c)	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.

 

		7.	The undersigned has full right and power, without violating any agreement by which he or she is bound, to enter into this Letter
Agreement and to serve as a director or officer of the Company, as applicable.

 

		8.	The undersigned hereby waives his or her right to exercise redemption rights with respect to any of the Company’s shares
of Common Stock owned or to be owned by the undersigned, directly or indirectly, whether such shares be part of the Founder Shares
or IPO Shares, and agrees that he or she will not seek redemption with respect to such shares (or sell such shares to the Company
in any tender offer) in connection with (x) the consummation of a Business Combination or (y) any stockholder vote to
approve an amendment to the Charter that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption
in connection with the Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the shares of Common Stock if the Company has not completed a
Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Charter or with respect to any other provisions relating to stockholders’
rights or pre-initial business combination activity.

 

    

     

    

 

		9.	The undersigned hereby agrees to not propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to Paragraph 25(d) of the Charter prior
to the completion of a Business Combination unless the Company provides public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their
shares of Common Stock upon such approval in accordance with such Paragraph 25(d) thereof.

 

		10.	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 arising out of or relating in any way to
this Letter Agreement 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.

 

		11.	As used herein, (i) a “Business Combination” shall mean a merger, capital stock exchange, asset
acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses
or entities; (ii) “Insiders” shall mean all officers and directors, and the sponsor of the Company
immediately prior to the IPO; (iii) “Founder Shares” shall mean all of the Class B Common Stock
of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, acquired by an Insider prior to the IPO; (iv) “IPO Shares”
shall mean the shares of Common Stock issued in the Company’s IPO; (v) “Private Placement Warrants”
shall mean the warrants that are being sold privately by the Company simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO; (vi) “Trust
Account” shall mean the trust account into which the net proceeds of the Company’s IPO and a portion of the
proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be deposited; and (vii) “Registration Statement”
means the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (SEC File No. 333-251398) filed with the SEC, as amended.

 

		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.	The undersigned acknowledges and understands that the Underwriters and the Company will rely upon the agreements, representations
and warranties set forth herein in proceeding with the IPO. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to render any Underwriter
a representative of, or a fiduciary with respect to, the Company, its stockholders or any creditor or vendor of the Company with
respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

		14.	This Letter Agreement shall be binding on the undersigned and such person’s respective successors, heirs, personal representatives
and assigns. This Letter Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the
liquidation of the Company; provided, that such termination shall not relieve the undersigned from liability for any breach of
this agreement prior to its termination. The parties hereto may not assign either this Letter Agreement or any of their rights,
interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party. Any purported assignment in violation
of this paragraph shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported
assignee.
