This Agreement, made
and entered into effective as of ________ (“Agreement”), by and between Nuvve Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation
(“Company”), and the undersigned indemnitee (“Indemnitee”).

 

WHEREAS, the Board
of Directors of the Company (“Board”) has determined that the ability to attract and retain qualified officers and
directors is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders; and

 

WHEREAS, it is reasonable,
prudent and necessary for the Company to obligate itself contractually to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted

adequately indemnified; and

 

WHEREAS, this Agreement
is a supplement to and in furtherance of Article VII of the Bylaws of the Company, and Article Eighth of the Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto and shall neither be deemed to be a substitute
therefor nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder; and

 

WHEREAS, Indemnitee
is willing to serve on behalf of the Company on the condition that he be indemnified according to the terms of this Agreement;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting requirement provided, however, that, without limitation, such a Change

to such person attaining such percentage interest; (ii) the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation, sale of assets or other

immediately after such transaction with the power to elect at least a majority of the board of directors or other governing body
of such surviving entity; or (iii) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period
constituted the Board (including for this purpose any new director whose election or nomination for election by the Company’s
stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning

any such Proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification under this paragraph shall be made in respect of (1) a threatened
or pending Proceeding which is settled or otherwise disposed of, or (2) any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall
have been adjudged to be liable to the Company, by a court of competent jurisdiction and subject to no further appeal, unless and
only to the extent that the court in which such Proceeding shall have been brought, was brought or is pending, shall determine,
upon application, that Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such portion of the settlement amount and

Expenses (and, when eligible hereunder, amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in
connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits, procedurally
or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee
against all Expenses (and, when eligible hereunder, amount paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his
behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “successful,
on the merits or otherwise,” includes, but is not limited to, (i) any termination, withdrawal, or dismissal (with or without

in connection therewith.

 

    4

     

    

 

8.
Advancement of Expenses and Other Amounts.

 

Subject to Section
26 hereof, the Company shall advance all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and, when eligible hereunder, amounts paid in settlement,
incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company
of a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final
disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines
and amounts paid in settlement, incurred by Indemnitee In connection with any request for advancement of Expenses, judgments, penalties,
fines and amounts paid in settlement, Indemnitee shall not be required to provide any documentation or information to the extent
that the provision thereof would undermine or otherwise jeopardize attorney-client privilege. The Indemnitee shall qualify for
advances upon the execution and delivery to the Company of this Agreement, which shall constitute an undertaking providing that
the Indemnitee undertakes to the fullest extent permitted by law to repay the advance (without interest) if and to the extent that
it is ultimately determined pursuant to Section 9, that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. No other form
of undertaking shall be required other than the execution of this Agreement. The Company’s obligation in respect of the advancement
of Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with a criminal Proceeding in which Indemnitee
is a defendant shall terminate at such time as Indemnitee pleads guilty or is convicted after trial and such conviction becomes
final and no longer subject to appeal. Advances shall be unsecured and interest free. Advances shall be made without regard to
Indemnitee’s ability to repay such amounts and without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification
under the other provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, within thirty days after
any request by Indemnitee, the Company shall, in accordance with such request (but without duplication), (a) pay such Expenses
on behalf of Indemnitee, (b) advance to Indemnitee funds in an amount sufficient to pay such Expenses, or (c) reimburse Indemnitee
for such Expenses. The Company shall not seek from a court, or agree to, a “bar order” which would have the effect of
prohibiting or limiting the Indemnitee’s rights to receive advancement of expenses under this Agreement.

 

9.
Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.

 

9.1
To obtain indemnification under this Agreement in connection with any Proceeding, and for the duration thereof, Indemnitee
shall submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably
available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification.
The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of any such request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing
that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.

 

    5

     

    

 

9.2
Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, a determination, if required by applicable
law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in such case: (i) if a Change in Control shall have occurred,
by Independent Counsel (unless Indemnitee shall request that such determination be made by the Board or the stockholders, in which
case in the manner provided for in clauses (ii) or (iii) of this Section 9.2) in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which
shall be delivered to Indemnitee; (ii) if a Change of Control shall not have occurred, at the election of the Company, (A) by the
Board by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors, or (B) if a quorum of the Board consisting of Disinterested
Directors is not obtainable, by a majority of a committee of the Board consisting of two or more Disinterested Directors, or (C)
by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee, or (D) by the stockholders
of the Company, by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of stockholders who are not parties to the proceeding, or if no such
quorum is obtainable, by a majority vote of stockholders who are not parties to such proceeding; or (iii) as provided in Section
10.2 of this Agreement. If it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made
within ten (10) days after such determination. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination
with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable
advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably
available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees
and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall
be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company
hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

 

9.3
If a Change of Control shall have occurred, Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall
request that such selection be made by the Board), and Indemnitee (or the Board, as the case may be) shall give written notice
to the other party advising it of the identity of Independent Counsel so selected. In either event, Indemnitee or the Company,
as the case may be, may, within seven days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company
or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection. Such objection may be asserted only on the ground
that Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section
1 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. If such written
objection is made, Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until a court has determined
that such objection is without merit. If, within 20 days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification
pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee
may petition a court of competent jurisdiction, for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee
to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by
such court or by such other person as such court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom an objection is so resolved
or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 9.2 hereof. The Company shall pay any and all reasonable
fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection with its actions pursuant to this Agreement,
and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 9.3, regardless of the manner
in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed. Upon the due commencement date of any judicial proceeding pursuant
to Section 11.1(iii) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such
capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).

 

    6

     

    

 

10.
Presumptions and Effects of Certain Proceedings.

 

10.1
In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making
such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted
a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 9.1 of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof
to overcome that presumption by clear and convincing evidence in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of
any determination contrary to that presumption.

 

10.2
If the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 9 of this Agreement to determine whether Indemnitee
is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the request
therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall
be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact
necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or
(ii) prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided, however, that such 60-day period may be extended for a
reasonable time, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect
to entitlement to indemnification in good faith require(s) such additional time for the obtaining or evaluating of documentation
and/or information relating thereto; and provided, further, however, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2 shall not
apply (i) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by the stockholders pursuant to Section 9.2 of this
Agreement and if (A) within 15 days after receipt by the Company of the request for such determination the Board has resolved to
submit such determination to the stockholders for their consideration at an annual meeting thereof to be held within 75 days after
such receipt and such determination is made thereat, or (B) a special meeting of stockholders is called within 15 days after such
receipt for the purpose of making such determination, such meeting is held for such purpose within 60 days after having been so
called and such determination is made thereat, or (ii) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by
Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 9.2 of this Agreement. In connection with each meeting at which a stockholder determination
will be made, the Company shall solicit proxies that expressly include a proposal to indemnify or reimburse the Indemnitee. The
Company shall afford the Indemnitee ample opportunity to present evidence of the facts upon which the Indemnitee relies for indemnification
in any Company proxy statement relating to such stockholder determination. Subject to the fiduciary duties of its members under
applicable law, the Board will not recommend against indemnification or reimbursement in any proxy statement relating to the proposal
to indemnify or reimburse the Indemnitee.

 

    7

     

    

 

10.3
The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction,
or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself
adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and
in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal
Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

10.4
Reliance as Safe Harbor.

 

For purposes of this
Agreement, the Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the Company, or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful, if his action is based on (i) the records or books of account of the Company, or another enterprise, including
financial statements, (ii) information supplied to him by the officers of the Company or another enterprise in the course of their
duties, (iii) the advice of legal counsel for the Company or another enterprise, or of an independent certified public accountant
or an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Company or another enterprise. The term “another enterprise”
as used in this Section shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise of which the Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee
or agent. The provisions of this Section shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in
which the Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth herein. Whether or not the foregoing
provisions of this Section 10.4 are satisfied, it shall in any event be presumed that Indemnitee has at all times acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, or, with respect to
any criminal Proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. Anyone seeking to
overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.

 

11.
Remedies of Indemnitee.

 

11.1
In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement,

determination shall not have been made and delivered in a written opinion within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of
the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement within thirty
(30) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, or (v) payment of indemnification is not made within thirty
(30) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or such determination is deemed to
have been made pursuant to Section 9 or 10 of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in an appropriate
court of the State of Delaware, or in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of his entitlement to such indemnification or
advancement of Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines or, when eligible hereunder, amounts paid in settlement. The Company shall
not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication.

 

    8

     

    

 

11.2
In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled
to indemnification, any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo
trial on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination.

 

11.3
If a determination shall have been made or deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 9 or 10 of this Agreement that Indemnitee
is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant
to this Section, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make
Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) prohibition
of such indemnification under applicable law.

 

11.4
The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section that the procedures
and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court that the Company
is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.

 

11.5
In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section, seeks a judicial adjudication of his rights under, or to recover
damages for breach of, this Agreement or any other agreement, including any other indemnification, contribution or advancement
agreement, or any provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company now or hereafter in effect, or for recovery
under directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, Indemnitee shall be entitled
to recover from the Company, and shall be indemnified by the Company against, any and all expenses (of the kinds described in the
definition of Expenses) actually and reasonably incurred by him in such judicial adjudication, but only if he prevails therein.
If it shall be determined in such judicial adjudication that Indemnitee is entitled to receive less than all of the indemnification
or advancement of expenses sought, the expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such judicial adjudication shall be appropriately
prorated. In addition, the Company shall, if so requested by Indemnitee, advance the foregoing expenses to Indemnitee, subject
to and in accordance with Section 8.

 

12.
Procedure Regarding Indemnification.

 

With respect to any
Proceedings, the Indemnitee, prior to taking any action with respect to such Proceeding, shall consult with the Company as to the
procedure to be followed in defending, settling, or compromising the Proceeding and may not consent to any settlement or compromise
of the Proceeding without the written consent of the Company (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Company
shall be entitled to participate in defending, settling or compromising any Proceeding and to assume the defense of such Proceeding
with counsel of its choice and shall assume such defense if requested by the Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the election by, or obligation
of, the Company to assume the defense of a Proceeding, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense of such
Proceeding and to employ counsel of Indemnitee’s choice, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the
Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of such counsel has been authorized in writing by the Company, (ii) Indemnitee shall have
reasonably determined that there is a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of
the Proceeding, and such determination is supported by an opinion of qualified legal counsel addressed to the Company, (iii) the
Indemnitee has reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to him which are different from or additional to those
available to the Company (in which latter case the Company shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Proceeding on
behalf of the Indemnitee), (iv)  after a Change in Control, the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been approved by the
Independent Counsel or (v) the Company shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, in
each of which cases all Expenses of the Proceeding shall be borne by the Company. The Company shall not be entitled to assume the
defense of any Proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company, or as to which Indemnitee shall have made the determination provided
for in (ii) above or under the circumstances provided for in (iii) and (iv) above. Indemnitee agrees that any such separate counsel
retained by Indemnitee will be not more than one additional firm of attorneys, and such firm shall be a member of any approved
list of panel counsel under the Company’s applicable directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, should
the applicable policy provide for a panel of approved counsel and should such approved panel list comprise law firms with well-established
reputations in the type of litigation at issue. (For clarity, the fact of a firm’s being part of a panel shall not be evidence
of a firm’s having a well-established national reputation for the type of litigation at issue.) If the Company assumes the
defense of a Proceeding, then counsel for the Company and Indemnitee shall keep Indemnitee reasonably informed of the status of
the Proceeding and promptly send to Indemnitee copies of all documents filed or produced in the Proceeding, and the Company shall
not compromise or settle any such Proceeding without the written consent of the Indemnitee (which consent may not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) if the relief provided shall be other than monetary damages and shall promptly notify the Indemnitee of any
settlement and the amount thereof.

		13.	Non-Exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; Subrogation; Contribution.

 

13.1
The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive
of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the certificate of incorporation or by-laws
of the Company, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal
of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be effective as to any Indemnitee with respect to any action taken or omitted by
such Indemnitee in his Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal.

 

13.2
For the duration of Indemnitee’s service as a director and/or officer of the Company, and thereafter for so long as
Indemnitee shall be subject to any Proceeding, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account the scope
and amount of coverage available relative to the cost thereof) to cause to be maintained in effect policies of directors’
and officers’ liability insurance providing coverage for directors and/or officers of the Company that comparable to what
similarly situated company’s would maintain. In all policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance
obtained by the Company, Indemnitee shall be an insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits,
subject to the same limitations, as are accorded to the Company’s directors and officers most favorably insured by such policy.
Company shall promptly notify Indemnitee of any good faith determination not to provide such coverage or of any lapse or termination
in any such policy. In the event of a Change in Control or the Company’s becoming insolvent, the Company shall maintain in
force any and all directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in respect of the individual directors and officers
of the Company, for a fixed period of six years thereafter (a “Tail Policy”). Such coverage shall be non-cancellable.
The Tail Policy shall be substantially comparable in scope and amount as the expiring policies, and the insurance carriers for
the Tail Policy shall have an AM Best rating that is the same or better than the AM Best ratings of the expiring policies.

 

13.3
In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of
the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights,
including execution of such documents as are reasonably necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

 

13.4
The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if
and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement
or otherwise.

 

13.5
If a determination is made that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, after Indemnitee submits a written request
therefor, under this Agreement, then in respect of any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding in which the Company is jointly
liability with the Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), the Company shall contribute to the amount of Expenses,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement by the Indemnitee in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative
benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Indemnitee on the other hand from the transaction from which Proceeding
arose, and (ii) the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Indemnitee on the other hand in connection with the
events that resulted in such Expenses, judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Indemnitee on the other hand shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct
or prevent the circumstances resulting in such Expenses, judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement. The Company agrees that
it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section were determined by pro rata allocation or any other
method of allocation that does not take into account the foregoing equitable considerations. The determination as to the amount
of the contribution, if any, shall be made by: (i) a court of competent jurisdiction upon the application of both the Indemnitee
and the Company (if the Proceeding had been brought in, and final determination had been rendered by such court); (ii) the Board
by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors; or (iii) Independent Counsel, if a quorum is not obtainable
for purpose of (ii) above, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs.

14.
Duration of Agreement.

 

This Agreement shall
continue until and terminate upon the later of: (a) ten (10) years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as
a director and/or officer of the Company, or (b) one (1) year after the final termination of any Proceeding then pending in
respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder and of any proceeding commenced
by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement relating thereto. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company
and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and his spouse, heirs, executors, personal representatives
and administrators. The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation,
or otherwise) to all, substantially all, or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement
in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and
to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

15.
Severability.

 

If any provision or
provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section
of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal
or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions
of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held
to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give
effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

 

16.
Entire Agreement.

 

This Agreement constitutes
the entire agreement between the Company and the Indemnitee with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior
agreements, understanding, negotiations and discussion, both written and oral, between the parties hereto with respect to such
subject matter (the “Prior Agreements”); provided, however, that if this Agreement shall ever be held void or unenforceable
for any reasons whatsoever, and is not reformed pursuant to Section 15 hereof, then (i) this Agreement shall not be deemed to have
superseded any Prior Agreements; (ii) all of such Prior Agreements shall be deemed to be in full force and effect notwithstanding
the execution of this Agreement; and (iii) the Indemnitee shall be entitled to maximum indemnification benefits provided under
any Prior Agreements, as well as those provided under applicable law, the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company,
a vote of stockholders or resolution of directors.

17.
Exception to Right of Indemnification or Advancement of Expenses.

 

17.1 Except
as provided in Section 11.5, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, judgments, penalties,
fines and amounts paid in settlement under this Agreement with respect to any Proceeding, or any claim therein, brought or made
by him against the Company.

 

17.2 Indemnitee
shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement with respect to any Proceeding, or any claim therein, arising from
the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or Company similar successor
statute.

 

18.
Covenant Not to Sue; Limitation of Actions; Release of Claims.

 

No legal action shall
be brought and no cause of action shall be asserted by or on behalf of the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) against the Indemnitee,
his spouse, heirs, executors, personal representatives or administrators after the expiration of two (2) years from the date of
accrual of such cause of action and any claim or cause of action of the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) shall be extinguished
and deemed released unless asserted by the filing of a legal action within such two (2) year period; provided, however, that if
any shorter period of limitation is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action, such shorter period shall govern.

 

19.
Identical Counterparts.

 

This Agreement may
be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together
shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

 

20.
Headings.

 

The headings of the
paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or
to affect the construction thereof.

 

    12

     

    

 

21.
Modification and Waiver.

 

No supplement, modification
or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the
provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar)
nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

 

22.
Notice by Indemnitee.

 

Indemnitee agrees promptly
to notify the Company in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or
other document relating any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, judgments,
penalties, fines or amounts paid in settlement covered hereunder. The failure to notify the Company on a timely basis shall not
constitute a waiver of Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement, except to the extent that such failure or delay (i) causes
the amounts paid or to be paid by the Company to be greater than they otherwise would have been, (ii) adversely affects the Company’s
ability to obtain for itself or Indemnitee coverage or proceeds under any insurance policy available to the Company or Indemnitee,
or (iii) otherwise results in prejudice to the Company.

 

23.
Notices.

 

All notices, requests,
demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (i) delivered by
hand and receipted for by the party to whom such notice or other communication shall have been directed, or (ii) mailed by certified
or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which it is so mailed:

 

If to Indemnitee, to
the address set forth in the signature page hereto

 

If to the Company, to:

 

Nuvve Holding Corp.

2468 Historic Decatur Road

San Diego, California 92106

Attention: Chief Executive Officer

 

or to such other address or such other
person as Indemnitee or the Company shall designate in writing in accordance with this Section, except that notices regarding changes
in notices shall be effective only upon receipt.

 

24.
Governing Law.

 

This Agreement and
the legal relations among the parties shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State
of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. The Company and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i)
agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought only in the Chancery Court
of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Court”), and not in any other state or federal court in the United States of
America or any court in any other country, (ii) consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court for purposes
of any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, (iii) waive any objection to the laying of venue
of any such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court, and (iv) waive, and agree not to plead or to make, any claim that any such
action or proceeding brought in the Delaware Court has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum.

 

    13

     

    

 

25.
Monetary Damages Insufficient; Specific Performance.

 

The Company and Indemnitee
agree that a monetary remedy for breach of this Agreement may be inadequate, impracticable and difficult of proof, and further
agree that such breach may cause Indemnitee irreparable harm. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that Indemnitee may enforce
this Agreement by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance hereof, without any necessity of showing actual damage
or irreparable harm (having agreed that actual and irreparable harm will result in not forcing the Company to specifically perform
its obligations pursuant to this Agreement) and that by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance, Indemnitee shall
not be precluded from seeking or obtaining any other relief to which he may be entitled. The Company and Indemnitee further agree
that Indemnitee shall be entitled to such specific performance and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary
injunctions and permanent injunctions, without the necessity of posting bonds or other undertaking in connection therewith. The
Company acknowledges that in the absence of a waiver, a bond or undertaking may be required of Indemnitee by the Court, and the
Company hereby waives any such requirement of a bond or undertaking. If Indemnitee seeks mandatory injunctive relief, it shall
not be a defense to enforcement of the Company’s obligations set forth in this Agreement that Indemnitee has an adequate
remedy at law for damages.

 

26.
Waiver of Claims to Trust Account.

 

Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, Indemnitee hereby agrees that it does not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind (each, a
“Claim”) in or to any monies in the trust account established in connection with the Company’s initial public
offering for the benefit of the Company and holders of shares issued in such offering, and hereby waives any Claim it may have
in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any services provided to the Company and will not seek recourse against such trust
account for any reason whatsoever.

 

27.
Notice by Company.

 

If the Indemnitee is
the subject of, or is, to the knowledge of the Company, implicated in any way during an investigation, whether formal or informal,
that is related to Indemnitee’s Corporate Status and that reasonably could lead to a Proceeding for which indemnification
can be provided under this Agreement, the Company shall notify the Indemnitee of such investigation and shall share (to the extent
legally permissible) with Indemnitee any information it has provided to any third parties concerning the investigation (“Shared
Information”). By executing this Agreement, Indemnitee agrees that such Shared Information is material non-public information
that Indemnitee is obligated to hold in confidence and may not disclose publicly; provided, however, that Indemnitee may use the
Shared Information and disclose such Shared Information to Indemnitee’s legal counsel and third parties, in each case solely
in connection with defending Indemnitee from legal liability.

 

28.
Miscellaneous.

 

Use of the masculine
pronoun shall be deemed to include usage of the feminine pronoun where appropriate.

Exhibit 4.1

DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES
As of the date of the Annual Report on Form 10‐K of which this Exhibit is part, Thryv Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter, the “Company”), had one class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended: Common Stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Common Stock”). The following summary includes a brief description of the Common Stock, as well as certain related additional information.
General
Pursuant to the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) the Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), issuable in one or more series from time to time by resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
Voting Rights 
Holders of the Company’s Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share held of record and are vested with all of the voting power, except as the Board may provide in the future with respect to any class or series of Preferred Stock that it may authorize. There is no cumulative voting. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) or as required by law, all matters to be voted on by stockholders other than matters relating to the election of directors must be approved by a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter or by a written resolution of the stockholders representing the number of affirmative votes required for such matter at a meeting. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of stock entitled to vote in the election.
Dividend Rights
Holders of Common Stock share equally in any dividend declared by the Board, subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding preferred stock.
No Preemption, Conversion or Redemption Rights and No Sinking Fund Provisions
Shares of Common Stock are not redeemable and have no subscription, conversion or preemption rights. There are no sinking fund provisions.
No Restrictions on Transfer
The Company has not imposed any restrictions applicable to the transfer of Common Stock. 
Rights upon Liquidation
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets, or winding up of the Company’s affairs, holders of Common Stock would be entitled to share 

WEIL:\97845742\3\40631.0010

ratably in the Company’s assets that are legally available for distribution to stockholders after payment of liabilities. Holders of preferred stock, if any, may be entitled to distribution and/or liquidation preferences. In either such case, distributions must be made to the holders of preferred stock, if any, before holders of Common Stock.
Certain Other Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws
The Certificate of Incorporation and/or Bylaws also include the following provisions that may have an effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company:
•the Board is divided into three classes, with each class serving for a staggered three-year term;
•directors may only be removed for cause;
•any vacancy on the Board, including a vacancy resulting from an enlargement of the Board, may be filled only by the vote of a majority of directors then in office, even where less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director;
•special meetings of the stockholders may only be called upon the request of a majority of our Board, the Chairman of our Board or the President and Chief Executive Officer;
•the Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholders to submit proposed nominations of persons for election to the Board and other proposals for business to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders;
•after the time that Mudrick Capital Management, L.P. (“Mudrick”) and its affiliates own less than 40% of our outstanding Common Stock, subject to the rights of any holders of preferred stock to act by written consent, stockholder action may not be taken by written consent;
•a majority of the Board may adopt, amend or repeal bylaws without stockholder approval; and
•the Board may issue shares of Preferred Stock, with designations, powers, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board.
Section 203 of the DGCL
The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation opts out of but contains certain provisions that may have the same effect as Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), which generally prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination transaction with an “interested stockholder” (a stockholder who owns more than 15% of the Company’s common stock) for a period of three years after the interested stockholder became such unless the transaction fits within an applicable exemption, such as Board approval of the business combination or the transaction that resulted in such stockholder becoming an interested stockholder. The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation provides that Mudrick and any of its affiliates or successors, and any group as to which such persons are party do not constitute “interested stockholders” for purposes of these provisions for so long as they 
2
WEIL:\97845742\3\40631.0010

collectively own, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting power of the Company’s then outstanding shares of voting stock.
Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Any amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation must first be approved by a majority of the Board and, if required by law, thereafter be approved by a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment voting as a single class. The Bylaws may be amended (x) by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, subject to any limitations set forth in the Bylaws, without further stockholder action or (y) by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment, voting as a single class, without further action by the Board.
Corporate Opportunities
The Company renounces any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity that may from time to time be presented to certain of our shareholders: Mudrick, GoldenTree Asset Management LP, Paulson & Co. Inc. or any of their respective affiliates, successors, directly or indirectly managed funds or vehicles, partners, principals, directors, officers, members, managers and employees (other than the Company and its subsidiaries), even if the opportunity is one that the Company might reasonably have pursued or had the ability or desire to pursue if granted the opportunity to do so.
Exclusive Forum
The Company’s Bylaws provide, subject to limited exceptions, that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on the Company’s behalf; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of the Company’s directors, officers or other employees to the Company or its stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company, any director or the Company’s officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws; or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company, any director or the Company’s officers or employees that are governed by the internal affairs doctrine. This exclusive forum provision does not apply to claims arising under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws and rules and regulations promulgated thereunder for which there is exclusive federal or concurrent federal and state jurisdiction. The federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any action asserting a claim arising under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of the Company’s capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation described above.
The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. For additional
