Warrant Purchase Agreement

Each whole warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of EG Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. At the Closing of the Business Combination, each warrant to purchase one share EG Class A Common Stock that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing became a warrant to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock. The Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder until December 27, 2026, and they are not redeemable by the Issuer so long as they are held by Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

Among other things, the shares of Class A Common Stock held by Sponsor, Private Placement Warrants held by Sponsor, warrants that may be issued to Sponsor upon conversion of working capital loans, if any (and any shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such warrants), Class A Common Stock issued upon the redemption of any LGM common units, and certain other shares of Class A Common Stock held by the New Holders, will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to A&R Registration Rights Agreement, requiring the Issuer to register such securities for resale. Pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, the Existing Holders holding at least a majority in interest of the then-outstanding number of registrable securities held by the Existing Holders, or the New Holders holding at least a majority-in-interest of the then-outstanding number of registrable securities held by the New Holders will be entitled to, among other things, make a written demand for registration under the Securities Act of all or part of their shares of Class A Common Stock (each a “Demand Registration”). Under no circumstances shall the Issuer be obligated to effect more than an aggregate of three registrations pursuant to a Demand Registration by the Existing Holders, or more than an aggregate of five registrations pursuant to a Demand Registration by the New Holders, with respect to any or all registrable securities held by such holders. In addition, the Existing Holders and the New Holders will be entitled to “piggy-back” registration rights to certain registration statements filed following the Business Combination. The Issuer will bear all of the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Hymowitz and Gary Fegel, and thereafter as designated by the Sponsor, and its permitted transferees, by a majority of shares held by them. Each Existing Equityholder also agreed to a one-year lock-up period following the Closing with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock received by the Existing Equityholder in the Business Combination and certain other shares owned by the Existing Equityholder (the “Lock-up Shares”). However, prior to the expiration of the lock-up period, any Existing Equityholder is permitted to transfer the Lock-up Shares through (i) a pledge of up to 25% of each individual Existing Equityholder’s Lock-up Shares in connection with a bona fide transaction with a lender and disclosed in writing to the Board or (ii) a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization, or tender offer approved by the Board or a duly authorized committee thereof or other similar transaction that results in all of the Issuer’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the Closing.
