You are using loopback’s in your neighbor statements and thas why you need ebgp-multihop command.

I am currently working on LAB 3 of InternetWorkExpert workbook the Exterior Gateway Routing section. Task 5.1. I was ask to peer R4 and R5 together. The routers our actually directly connected via 2 interfaces. When I check my Solution guide the 2 routers are connected using the neighbor x.x.x.x ebgp-multihop command which I thought was only needed when you need to connect bgp neighbors that are not directly connected. Could someone please explain why I had to use this command? Thx.
