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 between Silver Eagle Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as representative of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”),
relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “Public Offering”), of 30,000,000
of the Company’s units (the “Units”), each comprised of one share of the Company’s common
stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and one warrant (each, a “Warrant”).
Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one-half of one share of the Common Stock 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 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 9 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 stockholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, then in connection with
such proposed Business Combination, he or she shall vote all the Founder Shares owned by him or her any shares acquired by him
or her in the Public Offering or the secondary public market in favor of such proposed Business Combination.


 


2.
The undersigned hereby agrees that in the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination (as defined in the
Underwriting Agreement) within 21 months from the closing of the Public Offering (or 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering
if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial business combination
within 21 months from the closing of the Public Offering but has not completed the initial business combination within such 21-month
period, or such later period approved by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated
certificate of incorporation, he or she 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, 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 (less
up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) less franchise and income taxes payable, divided by the number of then
outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (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 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 undersigned agrees that he or she will not propose any
amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of
the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within
21 months from the closing of the Public Offering (or 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering if the Company has executed
a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for a Business Combination within 21 months from the closing
of the Public Offering but has not completed the Business Combination within such 21-month period).


   



    	 



    	 



    




  


The
undersigned acknowledges that he or she 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 shares of the Common Stock held by him or her, any redemption rights 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 the Common Stock (although the undersigned shall be entitled to redemption and liquidation rights with respect
to any shares of the Common Stock (other than the Founder Shares) he or she holds if the Company fails to consummate a Business
Combination within 21 months from the date of the closing of the Public Offering (or 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering
if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for a Business Combination within
21 months from the closing of the Public Offering but has not completed the Business Combination within such 21-month period).
