AGREEMENT

It is hereby agreed:

1. Initial Purchase and Sale of Shares.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions herein, Seller hereby agrees to sell to the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to purchase from the Seller, 600,000 of the Merger Shares (the “Initial Shares”) for $10.00 per Share, or an aggregate of $6,000,000, in cash (the “Initial Sale Purchase Price”), immediately after the consummation of the Acquisition Merger. The number of Initial Shares and the Initial Sale Purchase Price shall be equitably adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split, stock combination, stock dividend or other similar transaction affecting the Common Stock as a whole or the ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of Newborn as a whole.

(b) Except as mutually agreed by the parties in writing, the closing of the purchase and sale of the Initial Shares (the “Closing”) shall take place immediately after the consummation of the Acquisition Merger. At or prior to the Closing:

(i) If the Initial Shares are represented by a certificate, Seller shall deliver to the Company the certificate representing the Initial Shares, registered in Seller’s name (or an affidavit of loss and indemnification agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company in lieu of such certificate), together with an instrument of transfer for the Initial Shares executed in blank with original signature from Seller, medallion guaranteed.

(ii) If the Initial Shares are represented by an entry, in Seller’s name, on the books and records of the Company’s transfer agent, Seller shall deliver an instrument of transfer for the Initial Shares executed in blank with original signature from Seller, medallion guaranteed.

(iii) The Company shall pay the Initial Sale Purchase Price to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller in writing at least three (3) business days prior to the Closing.

(c) The obligations of the Parties pursuant to this Section 1 shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Acquisition Merger.

2. Put Option.

(a) Upon the closing of the Acquisition Merger, the Seller is granted an option (the “Put Option”) to require the Company to purchase, at any time commencing upon the closing of the Acquisition Merger and ending twelve (12) months thereafter (the “Put Option Exercise Period”), on the terms and conditions contained herein, up to $2,000,000 of the Merger Shares then held by the Seller.

(b) This Put Option may be exercised (“Put Election”), in whole or in part, on one and only one occasion during the Put Option Exercise Period, by written notice (“Put Notice”) to the Company. The Put Election shall be deemed made on the date the Put Notice is delivered to the Company. The Put Notice shall specify (i) the number of Merger Shares to be sold and purchased pursuant to the Put Option (the “Put Shares”), which shall not exceed a number equal to $2,000,000 divided by the Put Option Exercise Price, and (ii) the date for the closing of the purchase and sale of the Put Shares (the “Put Closing”), which shall be not less than thirty (30) days or more than forty-five (45) days after the date of delivery of the Put Notice. Such Put Election shall be irrevocable, unless Holder has obtained the written consent of the Company allowing a revocation.

(c) The exercise price of the Put Option (the “Put Option Exercise Price”) shall be the average of the last closing sale price of the Common Stock on the primary market on which the Common Stock is then traded for the five (5) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date the Put Notice is delivered to the Company. The Put Option Exercise Price shall be equitably adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split, stock combination, stock dividend or other similar transaction affecting the Common Stock as a whole occurring after the Put Notice is delivered to the Company but prior to the Put Closing.

(d) Except as mutually agreed by the parties in writing, the Put Closing shall take place on the date specified in the Put Notice. At or prior to the Put Closing:

(i) If the Put Shares are represented by a certificate, Seller shall deliver to the Company the certificate representing the Put Shares, registered in Seller’s name (or an affidavit of loss and indemnification agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company in lieu of such certificate), together with an instrument of transfer for the Put Shares executed in blank with original signature from Seller, medallion guaranteed.

(ii) If the Put Shares are represented by an entry, in Seller’s name, on the books and records of the Company’s transfer agent, Seller shall deliver an instrument of transfer for the Put Shares executed in blank with original signature from Seller, medallion guaranteed.

(iii) The Company shall pay an amount equal to (A) the number of Put Shares, multiplied by (B) the Put Option Exercise Price, to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller in writing at least three (3) business days prior to the Put Closing.

(e) The grant of the Put Option pursuant to this Section 2 shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Acquisition Merger.

3. Representations of Seller. Seller represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

Seller has not granted to any person or entity any options or other rights to buy the Nuvve Shares or the Merger Shares. No other person or entity has any interest in the Nuvve Shares or the Merger Shares of any nature.

Seller is not requesting the Excluded Information and agrees that the Company is not obligated to disclose any Excluded Information to Seller and that the Company shall not have any liability with respect to any non-disclosure of the Excluded Information.
