AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Subscription.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing, the

Agreement.
(b) The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Company
reserves the right to accept or reject the Subscriber’s subscription for the Subscribed Shares for any reason or for no reason, in whole or in part, at any time prior to its acceptance, and the same shall be deemed to be accepted by the Company
only when this Subscription Agreement is signed by a duly authorized person by or on behalf of the Company, which the Company may do so in counterpart form. In the event of rejection of the subscription by the Company or the termination of this
Subscription Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, the Subscriber’s payment hereunder will be returned promptly (within five Business Days) to the Subscriber along with this Subscription Agreement, and this Subscription Agreement shall
have no force or effect.
(c) The Company shall notify the Subscriber at least three Business
Days prior to the Closing if the Company elects to reduce the number of Subscribed Shares to be issued and sold to Subscriber pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.
2. Closing.
(a) The consummation of the Subscription contemplated hereby (the “Closing”)
shall occur on the closing date of the consummation of the Transaction (the “Closing Date”) immediately prior to the consummation of the SPAC Merger but following the Conversion.
(b) The Purchase Price may be paid by Subscriber in cash,
contribution of notes issued by Westrock Coffee Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, to the Subscriber (the “Notes”) (with the value of the Notes for this purpose being the face
value of such Notes). At least seven Business Days before the anticipated Closing Date, the Company shall deliver written notice to Subscriber (the “Closing Notice”) specifying (i) the anticipated Closing Date and (ii) the wire
instructions for delivery of the Purchase Price to the Company and instructions and/or an agreement for the contribution of Notes to the Company. Subscriber shall deliver (i) the portion of the Purchase Price to be paid in cash via wire
transfer to the account specified in the Closing Notice no later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, such cash to be held by the Company in escrow until the Closing, and (ii) the portion of the Purchase Price to be paid using
the Notes, if any, via a contribution, assignment, transfer and delivery of the Notes on the Closing Date to the Company. Upon satisfaction (or, if applicable, waiver) of the conditions set forth in this Section 2, the Company shall

the purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which banks located in New York, New York, are required or authorized by law to be closed. Notwithstanding such
return or cancellation, (x) a failure to consummate the Transaction on the anticipated Closing Date shall not, by itself, be deemed to be a failure of any of the conditions to Closing set forth in this Section 2 to be satisfied or
waived on or prior to the Closing Date, and (y) unless and until this Subscription Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 6 herein, Subscriber shall remain obligated (A) to pay the Purchase Price (including delivering any

Subscribed Shares and the Note Issued Shares. If the Balance requires a payment from the Company to Subscriber, the Company shall pay the amount of the Balance to Subscriber within five (5) Business Days of the Closing.

Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, a “Company Material Adverse Effect” means an event, change, development, occurrence, condition or effect with respect to the Company that would reasonably be expected
to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the issuance and sale of the Subscribed Shares.

been issued in violation of any preemptive rights created under the Company’s organizational documents (as in effect at the time of such issuance) or the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation.
(c) This Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, executed
and delivered by the Company, and assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the same by Subscriber, this Subscription Agreement shall constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the
Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors generally and by the availability of equitable
remedies.
5

Subscriber set forth in Section 4 of this Subscription Agreement, the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Subscribed Shares and the compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of
this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or
imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Company pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the
Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject; (ii) the organizational documents of the Company; or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any

of notification under the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, if applicable, and (vi) the failure of which to obtain would not be reasonably likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.
(f) As of the date hereof, the Company has not received any written
communication from a governmental authority that alleges that the Company is not in compliance with or is in default or violation of any applicable law, except where such non-compliance, default or violation would not reasonably be expected to
have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.
(g) Assuming the accuracy of Subscriber’s representations and
warranties set forth in Section 4 of this Subscription Agreement, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Subscribed Shares by the Company to Subscriber.

applicable securities laws of the states and other jurisdictions of the United States, and that any certificates or book-entry statements representing the Subscribed Shares shall contain a legend to such effect. As a result of these transfer
restrictions, Subscriber understands that Subscriber may not be able to readily resell, offer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Subscribed Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Subscribed Shares for an

advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as Subscriber and such undersigned’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision
with respect to the Subscribed Shares. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that certain information provided by the Company was based on projections, and such projections were prepared based on assumptions and estimates that are inherently
uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections. Subscriber further acknowledges
and agrees that the information provided to Subscriber was preliminary and subject to change, and that any changes to such information, including, without limitation, the information in the registration statement and the registration statement
on Form S-4 that the Company intends to file with the Commission (which will include substantial additional information about the Company, the SPAC and the Transaction and will update and supersede the information previously provided to

(i) This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified,
waived or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such modification, waiver, or termination is sought; provided, that, this Subscription Agreement may be amended, modified, waived
or terminated with the written consent of the Company and the Subscribers then holding a majority of the Collective Subscribed Shares then committed to be purchased at the Closing by (or, if after the Closing, then held by) all Subscribers (the
“Required Subscribers”). Upon the effectuation of such waiver, modification, amendment or termination with the consent of the Required Subscribers in conformance with this Section 7(i), such amendment, modification, waiver or
termination shall be binding on all Subscribers and effective as to all of the Subscription Agreements. The Company shall promptly give written notice thereof to Subscriber if Subscriber has not previously consented to such amendment,
modification, waiver or termination in writing; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such amendment, modification, waiver or termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) no
amendment, modification or waiver shall be effective against any Subscriber unless such amendment, modification or waiver applies to all Subscribers equally, (ii) any amendment, modification or waiver that has a disproportionate effect on a
Subscriber (considered apart from any disproportionate effect owing to the number of Subscribed Shares held by such Subscriber), shall require the consent of such Subscriber, and (iii) any amendment or waiver that has, or is reasonably likely,
to adversely affect the SPAC or the Transaction, in any material respect, shall require the prior written consent of the SPAC.
(j) This Subscription Agreement constitutes the entire agreement,
and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties hereto, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7(k), this
Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
(k) Except as otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement
shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and
acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.
(l) If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be
adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby
and shall continue in full force and effect.
(m) This Subscription Agreement may be executed and delivered in
counterparts (including by electronic mail or in .pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed
together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.
(n) This Subscription Agreement is intended for the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person; provided, however, that the SPAC shall be an intended third party
beneficiary of this Subscription Agreement.
14
(o) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in
the event that any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for such
damage. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Subscription Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement,
this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Company shall be entitled to specifically enforce Subscriber’s
obligations to fund the Purchase Price and the provisions of the Subscription Agreement, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree: (x) to waive any requirement
for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy; (y) not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement pursuant to this Section 7(o) is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable law or
inequitable for any reason; and (z) to waive any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. In connection with any proceeding for which the Company is being granted an award of
money damages, the Subscriber agrees that such damages, to the extent payable by such party, shall include, without limitation, damages related to the consideration that is or was to be paid to the Company under the Transaction Agreement and/or
this Subscription Agreement and such damages are not limited to an award of out-of-pocket fees and expenses related to the Transaction Agreement and this Subscription Agreement.
(p) No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right,
power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of such party. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy
under this Subscription Agreement by a party hereto, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a party hereto shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this
Subscription Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any
other or further action in any circumstances without such notice or demand.
(q) This Subscription Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws that would otherwise require the application of the law of any other state.
(r) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY
WAIVES ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OR RELATED TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY
TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY HERETO AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO OR ANY AFFILIATE OF ANY OTHER SUCH PARTY, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL
BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES HERETO FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER
PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO
THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT.
15
(s) The parties hereto agree that all disputes, legal actions,
suits and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement must be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Court
of Chancery of the state of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware or, in the event each federal court within the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over
a particular matter, any state court within the state of Delaware) (collectively the “Designated Courts”). Each party hereto hereby consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Designated Courts. No legal action, suit or
proceeding with respect to this Subscription Agreement may be brought in any other forum. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives all claims of immunity from jurisdiction and any objection which such party may now or hereafter have to the
laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding in any Designated Court, including any right to object on the basis that any dispute, action, suit or proceeding brought in the Designated Courts has been brought in an improper or inconvenient
forum or venue. Each of the parties hereto also agrees that delivery of any process, summons, notice or document to a party hereof in compliance with Section 7(a) of this Subscription Agreement shall be effective service of process for
any action, suit or proceeding in a Designated Court with respect to any matters to which the parties hereto have submitted to jurisdiction as set forth above.
(t) This Subscription Agreement may only be enforced against, and
any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to this Subscription Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Subscription Agreement, may only be brought against the entities that
are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, sponsor, manager, member, partner,
stockholder, affiliate, agent, attorney or other representative of any party hereto or of any affiliate of any party hereto, or any of their successors or permitted assigns, shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any
party hereto under this Subscription Agreement or for any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based on, in respect of or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby.
16
(u) The obligations of Subscriber under this Subscription
Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any Other Subscriber or any other investor under the Other Subscription Agreements, and Subscriber shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any
Other Subscriber under this Subscription Agreement or any other investor under the Other Subscription Agreements. The decision of Subscriber to purchase Subscribed Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement has been made by Subscriber
independently of any Other Subscriber or any other investor and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition
(financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or any of its subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any Other Subscriber or investor or by any agent or employee of any Other Subscriber or investor, and neither Subscriber nor
any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any Other Subscriber or investor (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any Other
Subscription Agreement, and no action taken by Subscriber or investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Subscriber and other investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or
create a presumption that the Subscriber and other investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription
Agreements. Subscriber acknowledges that no Other Subscriber has acted as agent for the Subscriber in connection with making its investment hereunder and no Other Subscriber will be acting as agent of the Subscriber in connection with
monitoring its investment in the Subscribed Shares or enforcing its rights under this Subscription Agreement. Subscriber shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of
this Subscription Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Subscriber or investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
