all exhibits referenced herein, this “Agreement”), is entered into by and between NewHold Investment Corp. II, a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), and NewHold Industrial Technology Holdings LLC II, a Delaware limited liability company

warrants (or 6,195,205 warrants if the over-allotment option in connection with the Public Offering is exercised in full) (the
“Private Placement Warrants”), each Private Placement Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Share at an
exercise price of $11.50 per Share (subject to adjustment).

THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby, intending legally to be bound, agree as follows:

C. Investment
Representations.


 


(i)
The Purchaser is acquiring the Private Placement Warrants and, upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, the Shares issuable upon
such exercise (collectively, the “Securities”), for the Purchaser’s own account, for investment purposes only
and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, any public sale or distribution thereof.


 


(ii)
The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).


 


(iii)
The Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and will be sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration
requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and
the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the
availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire such Securities.


 


(iv)
The Purchaser did not enter into this Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of
Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act.


 


(v)
The Purchaser has been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating
to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by the Purchaser. The Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to
ask questions of the executive officers and directors of the Company. The Purchaser understands that its investment in the Securities
involves a high degree of risk and it has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed
investment decision with respect to the acquisition of the Securities.


 


(vi)
The Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on
or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities by the
Purchaser nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities. 


  


(vii)
The Purchaser understands that: (a) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities
laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (1) subsequently registered thereunder or (2) sold in reliance
on an exemption therefrom; and (b) except as specifically set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, neither the Company nor any
other person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with
the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. While such Purchaser understands that Rule 144 under the Securities Act is not
available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies)
or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company, such Purchaser understands that Rule 144 includes an exception to this
prohibition if the following conditions are met: (i) the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be
a shell company; (ii) the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); (iii) the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act
reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was
required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and (iv) at least one year has elapsed from the time that
the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.


 


(viii)
The Purchaser understands the high degree of risk associated with investments in the securities of companies in the development stage
such as the Company, has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to be able to evaluate the merits and risks
of an investment in the Securities and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities in the amount contemplated
hereunder for an indefinite period of time. The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current financial needs and contingencies
and will have no current or anticipated future needs for liquidity which would be jeopardized by the investment in the Securities. The
Purchaser can afford a complete loss of its investment in the Securities.
