    Ladies

    The
      undersigned stockholder of Beverage Acquisition Corporation (“Company”), in
      consideration of Morgan Joseph & Co. Inc. (“Morgan Joseph”) entering into a
      letter of intent (“Letter of Intent”) to underwrite an initial public offering
      (“IPO”) of the Company’s units (“Units”), each comprised of one share of the
      Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and one
      warrant exercisable for one share of Common Stock (“Warrant”) and embarking on
      the IPO process, hereby agrees as follows (certain capitalized terms used herein
      are defined in Schedule 1 hereto):

    


    1. If
      the
      Company solicits approval of its stockholders of a Business Combination, the
      undersigned shall (i) vote all Insider Shares owned by such person in accordance
      with the majority of the votes cast by the holders of the IPO Shares and (ii)
      vote any shares of Common Stock acquired following or in the IPO in favor of
      the

      Transaction Failure occurs, the undersigned shall take all reasonable actions
      within such person’s power to cause (i) the Company to dissolve and liquidate
      the Trust Account to holders of IPO Shares as soon as reasonably practicable,
      and (ii) vote his shares in favor of any plan of dissolution and distribution
      recommended by the Company's board of directors. The undersigned hereby waives
      any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any
      distributions by the Company upon liquidation of the Trust Account or
      dissolution and liquidation of the Company and hereby further waives any claim
      the undersigned may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any
      contracts or agreements with the Company and agrees to not seek recourse against
      the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever. 

    


    3. The
      undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Company will not consummate any
      Business Combination which involves a company which is affiliated with any
      of

      investment banking firm that is a member of the National Association of
      Securities Dealers, Inc. that the business combination is fair to the Company’s
      stockholders from a financial perspective.

    


    4. Neither
      the undersigned, any member of the Immediate Family of the undersigned, nor
      any

      or in
      connection with, the consummation of the Business Combination; provided
      that, commencing on the Effective Date, Beverage Marketing Corporation of New
      York (“Related Party”), shall be allowed to charge the Company up to $7,500 per
      month, representing an allocable share of Related Party’s overhead, to
      compensate it for the Company's use of Related Party’s offices, utilities and
      personnel. The Related Party and the undersigned shall also be entitled to
      reimbursement from the Company for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
      incurred in connection with seeking and consummating a Business
      Combination.

      the
      aforementioned parties, hereby waives any rights to, a finder’s fee or any other
      compensation in the event the undersigned, any member of the Immediate Family

      the undersigned or any Affiliate of the undersigned originates a Business
      Combination.

      the
      escrow agent releases the Insider Shares in order for the undersigned to
      participate in a Business Combination in which all stockholders have the right
      to exchange their shares of Common Stock for other property.

      however,
      that
      any such termination shall not relieve the undersigned from any liability
      resulting from or arising out of any breach of any agreement or covenant
      hereunder occurring prior to the termination of this letter
      agreement.

    


    11. The
