Re:   Initial Public
Offering


 


Gentlemen:


 


This letter (this
“Letter Agreement”) is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting
Agreement”) entered into by and among Double Eagle Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”),
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as representatives of the several underwriters
(the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “Public Offering”),
of 55,200,000 of the Company’s units (including up to 7,200,000 Units that may be purchased to cover over-allotments, if
any, the “Units”), each comprised of one of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001
per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), and one warrant (each, a “Warrant”). Each
Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one-half of one Ordinary Share at a price of $5.75 per half share, subject
to adjustment. The Units shall 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 United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
and the Company shall apply to have the Units listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Certain capitalized terms used herein are
defined in paragraph 8 hereof.


 


In
order to induce the Company and the Underwriters 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, the undersigned hereby
agrees with the Company as follows:


 


1.  The
undersigned agrees that if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination, then in connection
with such proposed Business Combination, he shall vote all Founder Shares and any shares acquired by him in the Public Offering
or the secondary public market in favor of such proposed initial Business Combination and not redeem any Ordinary Shares owned
by him in connection with such shareholder approval.


 


2.  The
undersigned hereby agrees that in the event that the Company fails to consummate its initial Business Combination within 24 months
from the closing of the Public Offering (or such later period approved by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the
Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association), the undersigned shall take all reasonable steps in
his capacity as a shareholder 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 100% of the Ordinary Shares 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 (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution
expenses) less income taxes payable, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely
extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation 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 shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each
case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable
law. The undersigned agrees to not propose any amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles
of association that would affect 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 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering unless the Company
provides its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Ordinary 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, less
income taxes payable, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares.

The
undersigned acknowledges that he has no right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account
or any other asset of the Company as a result of any liquidation of the Company with respect to the Founder Shares. The undersigned
hereby further waives, with respect to any Ordinary Shares held by him, any redemption rights he may have in connection with the
consummation of a Business Combination, including, without limitation, any such rights available in the context of a shareholder
vote to approve such Business Combination or in the context of a tender offer made by the Company to purchase Ordinary Shares (although
the undersigned shall be entitled to redemption and liquidation rights with respect to any Ordinary Shares (other than the Founder
Shares) he holds if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 24 months from the date of the closing of the
Public Offering).


 


3.  During
the period commencing on the effective date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending 180 days after such date, the undersigned
shall not, without the prior written consent of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated
(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, and the rules and regulations
of the Commission promulgated thereunder, with respect to any Units, Ordinary Shares, Warrants or any securities convertible into,
or exercisable, or exchangeable for, Ordinary Shares owned by him, her or it, (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, Ordinary Shares, Warrants
or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, Ordinary Shares owned by him, her or it, 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 undersigned acknowledges
and agrees that, prior to the effective date of any release or waiver, of the restrictions set forth in this paragraph 3 or paragraph
5 below, the Company shall announce the impending release or waiver by press release through a major news service at least two
business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted shall only be effective two business
days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if the release or waiver
is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration and 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.


 


4.
In the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account, Harry E. Sloan (the “Indemnitor”) agrees, jointly
and severally with Jeff Sagansky, 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) a
prospective target business with which the Company has entered into an acquisition agreement (a “Target”);
provided, however, that such indemnification of the Company by the Indemnitor shall apply only to the extent necessary to ensure
that such claims by a third party for services rendered (other than the Company’s independent public accountants) or products
sold to the Company or a Target do not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per share
of the Offering Shares and (ii) the actual amount per share of the Offering Shares held in the Trust Account as of the date of
the liquidation of the Trust Account, in each case less income taxes payable, and except as to any claims by a third party who
executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account (whether or not such agreement is enforceable) and
as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In the event that any such executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against such third
party, the Indemnitor shall not be responsible for any liability as a result of any such third party claims. The Indemnitor 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 Indemnitor, the Indemnitor notifies the Company in writing that it
shall undertake such defense. 


 


5.  (a)
The undersigned agrees that he shall not Transfer any Founder Shares until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of
a Business Combination or earlier if, subsequent to a Business Combination, the closing price of the Ordinary Shares equals or
exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like)
for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, and (B) the
date following the completion of a Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or
other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares
for cash, securities or other property (the “Founder Shares Lock-up Period”).


 




    	 	2	 



     


    

 


(b)
The undersigned agrees that he shall not effectuate any Transfer of Private Placement Warrants or Ordinary Shares underlying such
warrants, until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination.


 


(c)
Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraphs 5(a) and (b), Transfers of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants
and Ordinary Shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants 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 their affiliates,
or any affiliates of the Sponsor (b) 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; (c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of
the individual; (d) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (e) 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

of the Sponsor; (g) in the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to the completion of a Business Combination; or (h) in
the event of completion of a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s
shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the completion
of a Business Combination; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a) through (f) these permitted
transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by these transfer restrictions.


  


6.  The
undersigned hereby agrees and acknowledges that (i) each of the Underwriters and the Company would be irreparably injured in the
event of a breach by the undersigned of his obligations under paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5(a) and 5(b), (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.  The
undersigned has full right and power, without violating any agreement to which he is bound (including, without limitation, any
non-competition or non-solicitation agreement with any employer or former employer), to enter into this Letter Agreement.
