(a)    The BORROWER hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the BANK free and harmless from all losses, costs and expenses which the BANK may incur, to the extent not mitigated by the redeployment of deposits or other funds, as a result of (i) a default by the BORROWER in payment when due of the principal of or interest on a LOAN, (ii) the BORROWER's failure (other than due solely to a failure attributable to a default by the BANK) to make a borrowing or continuation with respect to a LOAN after making a request therefor, (iii) a prepayment (whether mandatory or otherwise, including but not limited to, acceleration pursuant to ARTICLE VII hereof) of any LOAN before a scheduled payment date for interest or principal or (iv) any DEFAULT or EVENT OF DEFAULT by the BORROWER under this AGREEMENT or any demand by the BANK for payment of any LOAN permitted hereunder or under the NOTE (but, in any event, excluding loss of anticipated profits). The BANK's computation of such amount or amounts shall be binding on the BORROWER absent manifest error.

(b)    If the BANK determines at any time that any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order concerning capital adequacy, reserves or similar requirements, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by any GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY (other than any EXCLUDED TAX or INDEMNIFIED TAX) will have the effect of increasing the cost to the BANK or the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by the BANK as a result of the making or continuance of the LOANS, then the BORROWER agrees to pay to the BANK, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate the BANK for such increased costs. The BANK, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable to the BANK pursuant to this paragraph, will give prompt written notice thereof to the BORROWER, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish the obligations of the BORROWER to pay additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph. The BANK's computation of such amount or amounts shall be binding on the BORROWER absent manifest error.

(c)    If any present or future applicable law, rule or regulation or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance by the BANK with any request or directive of any such GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY, whether or not having the force of law (other than any EXCLUDED TAX or INDEMNIFIED TAX), results in an increase of the cost to the BANK of making, renewing or maintaining any LOAN, or reduce the amount of any sum receivable by the BANK under any LOAN, in the reasonable judgment of the BANK, then, upon demand by the BANK, the BORROWER agrees to pay to the BANK such additional amount or amounts as would compensate the BANK for such increased cost or reduction. The BANK's computation of such amount or amounts shall be binding on the BORROWER absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.07.    METHOD OF PAYMENT. The BORROWER shall make each payment of principal of and interest on the LOANS, in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds, not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date when such payment is due, to the BANK's account at Citibank N.A. New York, ABA No. 021000089, for the account of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, account no. 36023837 (BCDAD Loan Services Department, re: WestRock Company), or to such other location or in such other manner as the BANK may notify the BORROWER in writing. The BORROWER hereby authorizes the BANK, if and to the extent payment is not made when due under this AGREEMENT or under the NOTE, to charge from time to time against any account of the BORROWER with the BANK any amount so due. The BORROWER may, with the BANK's prior consent, and on not less than five days' notice, prepay the principal and interest of any LOAN in whole or in part, but only on condition that the prepayment is accompanied by payment of amounts (if any) due under SECTION 2.06(a).

SECTION 2.08.    PAYMENTS ON NON-BUSINESS DAYS. Whenever payment shall fall due on a day which is not a BUSINESS DAY, payment shall be made on the next succeeding BUSINESS DAY, unless such BUSINESS DAY falls in the following calendar month, in which case payment shall be due on the next preceding BUSINESS DAY.

SECTION 3.01.    CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO INITIAL AND ALL LOANS. The BANK may in its sole and absolute discretion make LOANS available to the BORROWER, subject to the conditions precedent that, on or before the day of the initial LOAN, the BANK shall have received all of the following, each of which shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the BANK:

(3)INCUMBENCY AND SIGNATURE CERTIFICATE OF THE BORROWER. A certificate of the President or Vice President (or other appropriate officer) of the BORROWER certifying the names and true signatures of the officers of the BORROWER authorized, pursuant to the Board of Directors' resolutions referred to in paragraph (2) above, to sign this AGREEMENT, the NOTE, and any other documents to be delivered by the BORROWER pursuant to this AGREEMENT;

The BORROWER is a corporation, duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the state of its incorporation, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the BORROWER is doing business, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing is not reasonably likely, in the aggregate, to have a MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT.

SECTION 4.05.    ENFORCEABLE OBLIGATION. This AGREEMENT is a legal, valid and binding agreement of the BORROWER, enforceable against the BORROWER in accordance with its terms, and the NOTE and each other LOAN DOCUMENT to which the BORROWER is a party, when executed and delivered (and as endorsed from time to time), will be similarly legal, valid, binding and enforceable, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity.

SECTION 4.06.    LITIGATION. Except as previously disclosed to the BANK in writing, there are no legal actions or other proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of any RESPONSIBLE OFFICER of the BORROWER, threatened against the BORROWER which, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT.

(b)    None of the BORROWER or any of its SUBSIDIARIES nor, to the knowledge of the BORROWER, any director, officer, employee or agent of the BORROWER or any of its SUBSIDIARIES has taken any action, directly or, to the knowledge of the BORROWER, indirectly, that would result in a violation by such persons of the FCPA or any other applicable anti-corruption law; and the BORROWER has instituted and maintains policies and procedures designed to ensure continued compliance therewith.

Neither this AGREEMENT, nor any other LOAN DOCUMENT, nor any certificate, written notice, written report, financial statement or document furnished to date or to be furnished by the BORROWER in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, taken as a whole, contains as of the date thereof any material misstatement of fact, or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements herein or therein contained, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

SECTION 4.10.    RANKING OF LOAN. The obligations and liabilities of the BORROWER under this AGREEMENT and the NOTE are unconditional and general obligations of the BORROWER and rank at least pari passu with all other present or future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the BORROWER.

(6)    The BORROWER or any RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARY shall fail to make when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, on demand or otherwise, and after giving effect to any applicable grace period) any payment of principal of or interest on any INDEBTEDNESS (other than the BORROWER's or any GUARANTOR's obligations under the LOAN DOCUMENTS) exceeding U.S.$150,000,000 individually or in the aggregate.

(7)    The BORROWER, any GUARANTOR or any RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARY shall fail to observe or perform within any applicable grace period any covenants or agreements contained in any agreements or instruments relating to any of its INDEBTEDNESS (other than the LOAN DOCUMENTS) the principal amount of which exceeds U.S.$150,000,000 individually or in the aggregate, or any other event shall occur if the effect of such failure or other event is to accelerate, or to permit the holder of such INDEBTEDNESS or any other PERSON to accelerate, the maturity of such

INDEBTEDNESS; provided that this SECTION 7.01(7) shall not apply to (x) any secured INDEBTEDNESS that becomes due as a result of the voluntary sale, transfer or other disposition of the assets securing such INDEBTEDNESS so long as such INDEBTEDNESS is paid or (y) any INDEBTEDNESS that becomes due as a result of a voluntary refinancing thereof.

SECTION 7.02.    REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any EVENT OF DEFAULT, the BANK may in its sole and absolute discretion declare the LOANS (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this AGREEMENT and/or the NOTE to be due and payable forthwith whereupon the same will immediately become due and payable (except that in the case of an EVENT OF DEFAULT under 7.01(4) or 7.01(5) above, such acceleration shall be automatic), without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or in any LOAN DOCUMENT to the contrary notwithstanding. The foregoing remedies are in addition to any and all other remedies available to the BANK under this AGREEMENT, the NOTE or any other LOAN DOCUMENT, at law, or in equity.

SECTION 8.01.    INDEMNITY. The BORROWER hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold harmless the BANK and each of its affiliates, and all the directors, officers, employees, agents, legal counsel and advisors of the BANK (each, an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") from and against all claims, actions, proceedings, suits, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses, including the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of one firm of counsel for all such INDEMNIFIED PARTIES, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, of a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single firm of special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all such INDEMNIFIED PARTIES, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the INDEMNIFIED PARTY affected by such conflict informs the BORROWER of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for such affected INDEMNIFIED PARTY and, if necessary, of a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single firm of special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for such affected INDEMNIFIED PARTY), which may be incurred by or asserted against any INDEMNIFIED PARTY in connection with, or arising out of, or relating to any transaction or proposed transaction (whether or not consummated), contemplated by this AGREEMENT or any LOAN DOCUMENT (other than any TAXES); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any INDEMNIFIED PARTY, be available to the extent that such claim, action, proceeding, suit, damage, loss, liability, cost or expense (a) is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct of such INDEMNIFIED PARTY or (ii) a claim brought by the BORROWER against such INDEMNIFIED PARTY for material breach in bad faith of such INDEMNIFIED PARTY'S obligations hereunder or (b) results from a proceeding that does not involve an act by the BORROWER or any of its AFFILIATES and that is brought by an INDEMNIFIED PARTY against any other INDEMNIFIED PARTY. This SECTION 8.01 shall not apply with respect to taxes other than any taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-tax claim.

SECTION 8.02.    SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS. This AGREEMENT shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the BORROWER and the BANK and their respective successors and assigns, except that (a) the BORROWER may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under any LOAN DOCUMENT without the prior written consent of the BANK and (b) the BANK may not assign or transfer to any other PERSON all or part of the CREDIT LINE or the indebtedness of the BORROWER outstanding under this AGREEMENT and/or any LOAN DOCUMENT without the prior written consent of the BORROWER (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that (i) no such consent of the BORROWER shall be required under this clause (b) if an EVENT OF DEFAULT has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment and (ii) no such assignment under this clause (b) may be made to (A) a natural person or (B) a DISQUALIFIED INSTITUTION. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, in the event that the BANK sells or grant participations in all or part of the CREDIT LINE, the BANK shall, acting

solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the BORROWER, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant's interest in the CREDIT LINE or other obligations under this AGREEMENT or the LOAN DOCUMENTS sufficient to establish that the LOANS hereunder are in registered form for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

SECTION 8.03.    ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This AGREEMENT and the LOAN DOCUMENTS integrate all the terms and conditions mentioned herein or incidental hereto and supersede all oral negotiations and prior writings with respect to the subject matter hereof.

SECTION 8.04.    COUNTERPARTS. This AGREEMENT and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements may be executed in as many counterparts as may be deemed necessary or convenient, and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

SECTION 8.05.    AMENDMENTS, ETC. No amendment, modification, termination, or waiver of any provision of any LOAN DOCUMENT to which the BORROWER is a party, nor consent to any departure by the BORROWER from any such provision, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each of the BANK and the BORROWER, and then such amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given.

SECTION 8.06.    NOTICES, ETC. All notices and other communications provided for under this AGREEMENT shall be in writing, delivered in person, or sent by overnight courier, first class mail (postage prepaid), email or fax to:

or at such other address as shall be designated by either party in a written notice to the other party complying as to delivery with the terms of this SECTION 8.06. All such notices and communications shall be effective when deposited in the mails or faxed or emailed, as applicable, except that notices to the BANK pursuant to the provisions of ARTICLE II hereof shall be effective when received by the BANK.

SECTION 8.07.    NO WAIVER; REMEDIES. No failure on the part of the BANK to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power, or remedy under any LOAN DOCUMENT shall operate as waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under any LOAN DOCUMENT preclude any other or further exercise thereof or exercise of any other right. The remedies provided in the LOAN DOCUMENTS are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

SECTION 8.08.    COSTS, EXPENSES, AND TAXES. The BORROWER hereby agrees to pay on demand all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, filing, recording and administration of any of the LOAN DOCUMENTS, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the BANK, and local counsel who may be retained by said counsel, with respect thereto and with respect to advising the BANK as to its rights and responsibilities under any of the LOAN DOCUMENTS, and all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, if any, in connection with enforcement of any of the LOAN DOCUMENTS, including, without limitation, "work‑out," insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings. In addition, without duplication of SECTION 8.09, the BORROWER shall pay any and all stamp and other TAXES and fees payable or reasonably determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing, and recording of any of the LOAN DOCUMENTS and the other documents to be delivered under any of the LOAN DOCUMENTS other than any TAXES imposed as a result of an assignment of the LOAN or CREDIT LINE ("OTHER TAXES"), and agrees to save the BANK harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such OTHER TAXES.

SECTION 8.09.    DEDUCTIONS. All payments by any LOAN PARTY to the BANK under this AGREEMENT or under any LOAN DOCUMENT are to be made net and free of any and all TAXES (except for TAXES based upon the overall net income of the BANK)of any nature now or hereafter imposed, except as required by applicable law. If any TAX is, by law, required to be made from any payment hereunder and such TAX is an INDEMNIFIED TAX, then the applicable LOAN PARTY shall pay to the BANK such additional amount as will result in receipt by the BANK of a net amount equal to the amount the BANK would have received hereunder had no such TAX been required. In such event the applicable LOAN PARTY shall, as soon as practical, deliver to the BANK a receipt issued by the relevant taxing authority evidencing the amount of such TAX and its payment. If the applicable LOAN PARTY is required to pay an additional amount on account of any such TAX, the BORROWER shall have the right, on not less than three BUSINESS DAYS' prior written notice to the BANK, to repay the applicable LOAN.

SECTION 8.10.    RIGHT OF SET OFF. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any EVENT OF DEFAULT the BANK is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to the BORROWER (any such notice being expressly waived by the BORROWER), to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held, and other indebtedness at any time owing by the BANK to or for the credit or the account of the BORROWER against any and all of the obligations of the BORROWER now or hereafter existing under the AGREEMENT or the NOTE or any other LOAN DOCUMENT, irrespective of whether or not the BANK shall have made any demand under this AGREEMENT or such other LOAN DOCUMENT and although such obligations may be unmatured. The BANK agrees promptly to notify the BORROWER after any such set off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application. The rights of the BANK under this SECTION 8.10 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set off) which the BANK may have.

SECTION 8.11.    GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. This AGREEMENT and the NOTE shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Any legal action or proceedings with respect to this AGREEMENT against the BORROWER may be brought in the courts of the United States of America or the State of New York as the BANK may elect, and, by execution and delivery of this AGREEMENT, the BORROWER hereby (i) accepts for itself, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, (ii) irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment of any such court with respect to this AGREEMENT or the NOTE and (iii) irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceedings with respect to this AGREEMENT brought in any court of the United States of America or the State of New York located in the City of New York, and further irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. In the case of the courts of the United States of America and State of New York the BORROWER hereby agrees to receive service of process in any legal action or proceedings with respect to this AGREEMENT at its offices set forth in SECTION 8.06. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by the law. The BORROWER hereby agrees that the mailing of such process to the BORROWER shall be deemed personal service and accepted by the BORROWER for any legal action or proceedings with respect to this AGREEMENT.

SECTION 8.12.    SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. Any provision of any LOAN DOCUMENT which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of such LOAN DOCUMENT or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 8.13.    HEADINGS. ARTICLE and SECTION headings in this AGREEMENT are for the convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of the applicable LOAN DOCUMENTS for any other purpose.

SECTION 8.14.    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE BANK AND THE BORROWER MUTUALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT.

SECTION 8.15.    PATRIOT ACT. The BANK hereby notifies the BORROWER that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56) (the "ACT"), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the BORROWER and each GUARANTOR, which information includes the name and address of the BORROWER and each GUARANTOR and other information that will allow the BANK to identify the BORROWER and each GUARANTOR in accordance with the ACT.

SECTION 8.16.    FORMS. If the BANK (or any successor or assign of the BANK) is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding TAX with respect to any payments made under this AGREEMENT or the LOAN DOCUMENTS, at the time or times reasonably requested by any LOAN PARTY, the BANK (or any such successor or assign of the BANK) will deliver to such LOAN PARTY such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by such LOAN PARTY as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding (including, with respect to the BANK, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI).

SECTION 8.17.     MITIGATION. If the BANK (or any successor or assign of the BANK) requests compensation under SECTION 2.06, or if any LOAN PARTY is required to pay any INDEMNIFIED TAXES or additional amounts to the BANK or any GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY for the account of the BANK (or any successor or assign of the BANK) pursuant to SECTION 8.09, then such PERSON will use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its commitments hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such PERSON, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to SECTION 2.06 or 8.09, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such PERSON to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such PERSON. The BORROWER hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any such PERSON in connection with any such designation or assignment.

SECTION 8.18.    GUARANTY MATTERS. If any GUARANTOR is released from its guaranty obligation under the PRO RATA CREDIT AGREEMENT in accordance with Section 8.10 of the PRO RATA CREDIT AGREEMENT, then such GUARANTOR's obligations under the GUARANTEE shall be automatically released. In connection with a release of a GUARANTOR pursuant to this SECTION 8.18, the BANK shall promptly execute and deliver to the BORROWER all documents that the BORROWER shall reasonably request to evidence such release.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this AGREEMENT to be executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, as of the date first above written.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned WESTROCK COMPANY (the "BORROWER"), HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY PROMISES TO PAY to the order of SUMITOMO MITSUI BANKING CORPORATION (the "BANK"), the principal sum of TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS (US$200,000,000.00) or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all LOANS made to the BORROWER pursuant to the LINE AGREEMENT referred to below, together with interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LOAN from time to time outstanding hereunder at the rates, and payable in the manner and on the dates, specified in the LINE AGREEMENT, the provisions of which are incorporated by reference in this NOTE.

Both principal and interest are payable in the currency of the LOAN and in immediately available funds to the BANK at 277 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10172, or at such other place as may be designated in writing by the holder of this NOTE.

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the LINE AGREEMENT.

The LINE AGREEMENT provides, among other things, for acceleration (which in certain cases shall be automatic) of the maturity hereof upon the occurrence of certain stated events, in each case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived.

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
