      AGREEMENT

      


      THIS AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made
this 2nd day of March 2009, by and between Maple Mountain Pumpkins and
Agriculture, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Shell”), Nouveau Educational Systems,
Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Nouveau”), and the security holders of Nouveau (the
“Nouveau Security Holders”) who are listed on Exhibit 1.1 hereto and have
executed Subscription Agreements in the form attached in Exhibit 1.2
hereto.

      


      WHEREAS, Shell desires to acquire all
of the issued and outstanding common stock of Nouveau from the Nouveau Security
Holders in exchange for newly issued unregistered shares of common stock of
Shell;

      


      WHEREAS, Nouveau desires to assist
Shell in acquiring all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Nouveau
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; and

      


      WHEREAS, all of the Nouveau Security
Holders, by execution of Exhibit 1.2 hereto, agree to exchange all of the
securities they hold in Nouveau for an equal number of the securities of
Shell.

      


      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
mutual promises, covenants and representations contained herein, the parties
hereto agree as follows:

      


      ARTICLE
I

      


      Exchange
of Securities

      


      1.1           Issuance of Securities.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Shell agrees to issue and
exchange 21,899,000 fully paid and non-assessable unregistered shares of Shell’s
$.001 par value common stock (the “Shell Shares”) for all 21,899,000 issued and
outstanding shares of the $.001 par value common stock of Nouveau
(the “Nouveau Shares”) held by the Nouveau Security Holders.  All
Shell Shares will be issued directly to the Nouveau Security Holders on the date
the transaction contemplated by this Agreement closes (the “Closing Date”),
pursuant to the schedule set forth in Exhibit 1.1.  Shell shall
also issue (i) options to purchase Shell common stock in the same amounts and
upon the same terms and conditions as common stock issuable upon exercise of
outstanding options issued by Nouveau, and (ii) Series A Preferred Stock in the
same amounts and upon the same terms and conditions as the Series A Preferred
Stock issued by Nouveau.  The names of the persons holding the
outstanding options and the Series A Preferred Stock and the number of
outstanding options and Series A Preferred Shares are set forth in Exhibit
1.1.  Nouveau shall be free to readjust ownership of the Preferred
Shares and the Nouveau Shares so long as the number of such shares shall remain
as described in Exhibit 1.1 below.

      


      1.2           Exemption from Registration.
The parties hereto intend that all Shell common stock to be issued to the
Nouveau Security Holders shall be exempt from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), pursuant to Section 4(2)
and/or Regulation D of the Act and rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,
and that each shareholder of Nouveau receiving the Shell Shares shall be an
“accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  In furtherance
thereof, each of the Nouveau Security Holders will execute and deliver to Shell
on the Closing Date a copy of the Subscription Agreement set forth in Exhibit
1.2 hereto.

      


      1.3           Private
Placement.  Prior to the Closing Date and as a condition to
closing, Nouveau shall raise up to $3,000,000 (the “Private Placement”) through
the placement of shares of Nouveau’s common stock which will be exchanged for
Shell’s common stock based upon the issuance of one share of Shell common stock
for each $1.00 invested in Nouveau.  To date, $1,899,000 has been
raised. The Shell shares so issued will be in addition to the 21,899,000 shares
of Shell common stock to be exchanged and issued hereunder and will include
shares issued subsequent to the date hereof and prior to the Closing
Date.

      
        
           


        

        
          -1-

          
            

          

        

        
           


        

      

       

      1.4           Shell Common Stock
Outstanding. Shell shall have 1,250,000 shares outstanding on the Closing
Date. On the Closing Date, certain Shell stockholders shall sell 25,000,000
shares to Nouveau for an aggregate of $350,000 and Nouveau shall then cancel the
Shell shares so purchased.  The purchase price shall be payable at
Closing as follows:  A cash payment of $75,000 and delivery of one or
more promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $275,000 (the
“Notes”).  Each Note shall bear interest at 6% per annum and shall be
payable on July 1, 2010, subject to prepayment as set forth
below.  Each Note shall be convertible into shares of Series A
Preferred Stock at the rate of $1.00 per share.  In the event that the
Company or Nouveau raises funds through the sale of equity stock or debt
instruments prior to the maturity date of the Notes, 10% of the gross proceeds
therefrom shall be used to prepay the Notes immediately upon receipt of the
funds by the Company or Nouveau, as applicable.  Accordingly,
following the closing of the Agreement, Shell shall have a total of 23,149,000
shares outstanding (excluding any additional shares of Shell to be issued to the
purchasers in the Private Placement), comprised of 21,899,000 shares held by the
Nouveau Security Holders and 1,250,000 shares retained by the original Shell
stockholders.

      


      1.5           Conversion of Debt to Equity.
On or before the Closing Date Nouveau shall cause its control stockholder
and related entities to convert $3,934,517 of debt owed to them by Nouveau for
loans advanced by them to Nouveau into 3,934,517 shares of Nouveau Series A
Preferred Stock which Series A Preferred Stock will be convertible into Nouveau
common stock based upon a purchase price of $1.00 per share of Shell stock and
which shall be duly booked as equity on the balance sheet of
Nouveau.  All such securities issued by Shell will be converted into a
like number of Series A Preferred Stock of Shell in accordance with Section 1.1
above and which shall be in addition to the 21,899,000 shares to be issued to
the Nouveau Security Holders hereunder.

      2.5           Financial Statements. Exhibit
2.5 hereto consists of the audited financial statements of Nouveau for the year
ended March 31, 2008 (the “Nouveau Financial Statements”). The Nouveau Financial
Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and practices consistently followed by Nouveau throughout the periods
indicated, and fairly present the financial position of Nouveau as of the dates
of the balance sheets included in the Nouveau Financial Statements and the
results of operations for the periods indicated.  There are no
material omissions or non-disclosures in the Nouveau Financial
Statements.

      


      2.6           Absence of Changes. Except as
disclosed in the audited financial statements as of March 31, 2008 and 2007
(Exhibit 2.5) and as contemplated by this Agreement, there have not been any
material change in the financial condition or operations of
Nouveau.  As used throughout this Agreement, “material”
means:  Any change or effect (or development that, insofar as can be
reasonably foreseen, is likely to result in any change or effect) that causes
substantial increase or diminution in the business, properties, assets,
condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of a
party.  Taken as a whole, material change shall not include changes in
national or international economic conditions or industry conditions generally;
changes or possible changes in statutes and regulations applicable to a party;
or the loss of employees, customers or suppliers by a party as a direct or
indirect consequence of any announcement relating to this
transaction.

      


      2.7           Absence of Undisclosed
Liabilities. As of March 31, 2008, Nouveau did not have any material
debt, liability or obligation of any nature, whether accrued, absolute,
contingent or otherwise, and whether due or to become due, that is not reflected
in the Nouveau Financial Statements.

      


      2.8           Tax Returns. Nouveau has
filed all federal, state and local tax returns required by law and has paid all
taxes, assessments and penalties due and payable. The provisions for taxes, if
any, reflected in Exhibit 2.5 are adequate for the periods
indicated.  There are no present disputes as to taxes of any nature
payable by Nouveau.

      


      2.9           Investigation of Financial
Condition. Without in any manner reducing or otherwise mitigating the
representations contained herein, Shell, its legal counsel and accountants shall
have the opportunity to meet with Nouveau’s accountants and attorneys to discuss
the financial condition of Nouveau during reasonable business hours and in a
manner that does not interfere with the normal operation of Nouveau’s
business.  Nouveau shall make available to Shell all books and records
of Nouveau, provided, however, that Nouveau will be under no obligation to
provide any information subject to confidentiality provisions or waive any
privilege associated with any such information.

      


      2.10           Intellectual Property Rights.
Nouveau owns or has the right to use all trademarks, service marks, trade names,
copyrights and patents material to its business.

best of Nouveau’s knowledge, Nouveau has complied with, and is not in violation
of, applicable federal, state or local statutes, laws and regulations, including
federal and state securities laws, except where such non-compliance would not
have a material adverse impact upon its business or properties.

      2.12           Litigation. Nouveau is not a
defendant in any suit, action, arbitration or legal, administrative or other
proceeding, or governmental investigation which is pending or, to the best
knowledge of Nouveau, threatened against or affecting Nouveau or its business,
assets or financial condition.  Nouveau is not in default with respect
to any order, writ, injunction or decree of any federal, state, local or foreign
court, department, agency or instrumentality applicable to
it.  Nouveau is not engaged in any material litigation to recover
monies due to it.

      


      2.13           Authority. The Board of
Directors of Nouveau has authorized the execution of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, and Nouveau has full power
and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, and this Agreement
is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Nouveau and is enforceable in
accordance with its terms and conditions.  By execution of Exhibit
1.2, the Nouveau Security Holders will have agreed to and approved the terms of
this Agreement by the Closing Date.

      


      2.14           Ability to Carry Out
Obligations. To the best of Nouveau’s knowledge, the execution and
delivery of this Agreement by Nouveau and the performance by Nouveau of its
obligations hereunder in the time and manner contemplated will not cause,
constitute or conflict with or result in (a) any breach or violation of any of
the provisions of or constitute a default under any license, indenture,
mortgage, instrument, article of incorporation, bylaw, or other agreement or
instrument to which Nouveau is a party, or by which it may be bound, nor will
any consents or authorizations of any party other than those hereto be required,
(b) an event that would permit any party to any agreement or instrument to
terminate it or to accelerate the maturity of any indebtedness or other
obligation of Nouveau, or (c) an event that would result in the creation or
imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance on any asset of
Nouveau.

      


      2.15           Full Disclosure. None of the
representations and warranties made by Nouveau herein or in any exhibit,
certificate or memorandum furnished or to be furnished by Nouveau, or on its
behalf, contains or will contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit
any material fact the omission of which would be misleading.

      


      2.16           Assets. Nouveau’s assets as
of March 31, 2008 are fully included in Exhibit 2.5 and are not subject to any
claims or encumbrances except as indicated in Exhibit 2.5.

      


      2.17           Material
Contracts.  All of Nouveau’s material contracts are attached as
Exhibit 2.17.  There exists no event of default or occurrence,
condition or act on the part of Nouveau or, to the knowledge of Nouveau, on the
part of any other party to any contract to which Nouveau is a party, which
constitutes or would constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or
both) a breach of or default under any of such contracts, or cause or permit
acceleration of any obligation of Nouveau or any other party.

      


                   
2.18           Indemnification. Nouveau
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Shell and Shell’s officers and directors
harmless against and in respect of any and all claims, demands, losses, costs,
expenses, obligations, liabilities, damages, recoveries and deficiencies,
including interest, penalties and reasonable attorney fees asserted by third
parties against Shell which arise out of, or result from (i) any breach by
Nouveau in performing any of its covenants or agreements under this Agreement or
in any schedule, certificate, exhibit or other instrument furnished or to be
furnished by Nouveau under this Agreement, (ii) a failure of any representation
or warranty in this Article II or (iii) any untrue statement made by Nouveau in
this Agreement.

      


      2.19           Criminal or Civil Acts. For
the period of five years prior to the execution of this Agreement, no executive
officer, director or principal stockholder of Nouveau has been convicted of a
felony crime, filed for personal bankruptcy, been the subject of a Commission or
NASD (FINRA) judgment or decree, or is currently the subject to any
investigation in connection with a felony crime or Commission or NASD
proceeding.

      


      2.20           Restricted
Securities.  Nouveau and the Nouveau Security Holders, by
execution of this Agreement and of Exhibit 1.2, acknowledge that all of the
Shell Shares issued by Shell are restricted securities and none of such
securities may be sold or publicly traded except in accordance with the
provisions of the Act.
