PUT OPTION AGREEMENT

 

This Put Option Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered as of December 10, 2020 by and between Innoviz Technologies Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (the “Company”) and Antara Capital LP, a Delaware limited partnership, on behalf of the funds it manages and/or its designees (“Antara” and, together with the Company, the “Parties”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, the Parties have entered into that certain letter agreement (the “Innoviz Agreement”), dated as of October 7, 2020, by and among the Company, Perception Capital Corp., a Delaware corporation, Antara and Collective Growth Corporation, a Delaware corporation, as amended and supplemented by that certain letter agreement among such parties dated as of November 22, 2020 (the “Letter Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, in order to enable the transactions contemplated by the BCA (as defined below) and to induce investors other than Antara to participate in the PIPE Financing, the Parties have agreed as of November 27, 2020 (the “Effective Date”) to implement the backstop commitment contemplated in Section 2 of the Letter Agreement pursuant to a put option arrangement which would provide, among other things, that, notwithstanding the Letter Agreement, Antara’s total investment in the Company in connection with the exercise of such put option, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate equity value ascribed to the Antara Ordinary Shares (defined below) and the Antara Warrants (defined below), shall be no greater than $150 million and no less than $70 million (the “Investment Parameters”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Parties wish to enter into this Agreement to memorialize such put option arrangement agreed in principle in the initial stages of negotiation of the transactions contemplated by the BCA and to set forth certain of their respective rights and obligations in furtherance thereof.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises, agreements and covenants hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as set forth below.

 

1. Business Combination Agreement. A copy of the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of December 10, 2020, by and among Collective Growth Corporation, a Delaware corporation, Hatzata Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the Company (the “BCA”), is attached hereto as Exhibit A. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the BCA.

 

2. Grant of Put Option.

 

(a) Right to Sell. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at any one time from and after the Effective Date and up to and until the Closing Press Release is released pursuant to the BCA (the “Put Exercise Period”), the Company shall purchase a put option right (the “Option” or “Asset”), according to which the Company will have the right but not the obligation, to cause Antara to purchase a number of newly-issued Company Ordinary Shares at the Put Shares Purchase Price (defined below); provided, however, that the aggregate equity value ascribed to such Company Ordinary Shares purchased by Antara shall be within the Investment Parameters. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have the right to exercise the Option only one time; in the event the Company exercises the Option to cause Antara to purchase Company Ordinary Shares, the aggregate equity value ascribed to which is less than $150 million, it will be deemed to have waived its right with respect to any unutilized amount within the Investment Parameters and shall not have the right to subsequently exercise the Option to cause Antara to purchase any additional Company Ordinary Shares.

(ii) By delivering the Put Exercise Notice, the Company represents and warrants to Antara that: (A) the Company has the requisite power and authority and has taken all necessary action to issue and sell the Put Option Shares as contemplated by this Section 2; (B) each of the Company Fundamental Representations and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.23 of the BCA is true and correct (without giving effect to any limitation as to “materiality” or “Company Material Adverse Effect” or any similar limitation set forth therein) in all material respects (or, solely in the case of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2(a) of the BCA, true and correct in all respects except for de minimis inaccuracies) as of the date on which the Company exercises the Option and Antara executes and delivers the Put Shares Subscription Agreement (defined below), as though made on and as of such date (except to the extent that any such representation and warranty is made in the BCA as of an earlier date (other than the Closing Date), in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date or, solely in the case of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2(a) of the BCA, true and correct in all respects except for de minimis inaccuracies as of such earlier date); and (C) each of the Put Option Shares will be upon issuance and delivery to Antara free and clear of any and all Liens other than transfer restrictions under applicable securities Laws.

 

(c) Consummation of Issuance and Sale.

 

(i) The closing of the issuance and sale of Put Option Shares pursuant to the Option shall take place on such date and at such time (the “Exercise Closing Date”) and in such manner, including with respect to the payment of the Put Shares Purchase Price, as is set forth in one or more definitive, binding and enforceable Subscription Agreements, substantially in the form of Subscription Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C (collectively, the “Put Shares Subscription Agreement”), to be executed and delivered by the Parties.

(d) No Other Representations and Warranties. Other than as provided for in Section 2(b)(ii) above and Section 4 below, the Company does not make any representation or warranty hereunder, express or implied, with respect to the Put Option Shares or the transactions contemplated hereby.

2.2.4 The execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription Agreement (including compliance by the Issuer with all of the provisions hereof), issuance and sale of the Shares and the consummation of the certain other transactions contemplated herein will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Issuer pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which the Issuer is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Issuer is subject, which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the legal authority of the Issuer to enter into and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement (a “Issuer Material Adverse Effect”), (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of the Issuer or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Issuer or any of its properties that would reasonably be expected to have an Issuer Material Adverse Effect.

 

2.2.5 As of the date of this Subscription Agreement, the authorized capital shares of the Issuer consists of (i) 204,870,390 ordinary shares of no par value (“Existing Ordinary Shares”) and (iii) 95,129,610 preferred shares of no par value (“Preferred Shares”).

2.2.9 No Disqualification Event is applicable to the Issuer or, to the Issuer’s knowledge, any Issuer Covered Person (as defined below), except for a Disqualification Event as to which Rule 506(d)(2)(ii)-(iv) or (d)(3) under the Securities Act is applicable.

The representations and warranties made by Subscriber in Section 2.1 hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects when made (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Subscriber Material Adverse Effect, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) and shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date (unless they specifically speak as of another date in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date) (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Subscriber Material Adverse Effect, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects), with the same force and effect as if they had been made on and as of said date, but in each case without giving effect to consummation of the Transactions.

The representations and warranties made by the Issuer in Section 2.2 hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Issuer Material Adverse Effect, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the Closing Date (unless they specifically speak as of another date in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date) with the same force and effect as if they had been made on and as of said date, but in each case without giving effect to consummation of the Transactions; provided, that in the event this condition would otherwise fail to be satisfied as a result of a breach of one or more of the representations and warranties of the Issuer contained in this Subscription Agreement and the facts underlying such breach would also cause a condition to the Issuer’s obligations under the Business Combination Agreement to fail to be satisfied, this condition shall nevertheless be deemed satisfied in the event the Company waives such condition with respect to such breach under the Business Combination Agreement.

 

3.3.2 Closing of the Transactions. The Transactions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement shall have been or will be consummated substantially concurrently with the Closing.

4.1 The Issuer agrees that, within sixty (60) calendar days after the consummation of the Transactions (the “Filing Date”), the Issuer will file with the Commission (at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Shares (the “Registration Statement”), and the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 120th calendar day (or 180th calendar day if the Commission notifies the Issuer that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Closing and (ii) the 10th Business Day after the date the Issuer is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Date”); provided, however, that the Issuer’s obligations to include the Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Issuer such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Issuer held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer to effect the registration of the Shares, and Subscriber shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Issuer may reasonably request that are customary of a selling shareholder in similar situations, including providing that the Issuer shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Issuer to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Date or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Issuer of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 4.

4.2 In the case of the registration effected by the Issuer pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall, upon reasonable request, inform Subscriber as to the status of such registration. At its expense the Issuer shall:

 

4.2.1 except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Issuer determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to Subscriber, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (i) Subscriber ceases to hold any Shares, (ii) the date all Shares held by Subscriber may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Issuer to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), and (iii) two years from the Effectiveness Date of the Registration Statement;

 

4.2.2 advise Subscriber within five (5) Business Days:

 

(a) when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

 

(b) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

 

(c) of the receipt by the Issuer of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

 

(d) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Issuer shall not, when so advising Subscriber of such events, provide Subscriber with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer other than to the extent that providing notice to Subscriber of the occurrence of the events listed in (a) through (d) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer;

 

4.2.3 use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

 

24 -

 

 

4.2.4 upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 4.2.2(d), except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

 

4.2.5 use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares are then listed; and

 

4.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Issuer or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event the Issuer’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of in-house legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Issuer in the Registration Statement of material information that the Issuer has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Issuer’s board of directors, upon the advice of in-house legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Issuer may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than three occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than one hundred and twenty (120) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Issuer of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Issuer agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Issuer that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Issuer unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Issuer, Subscriber will deliver to the Issuer or, in Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares in Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

5. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of (i) such date and time as the Business Combination Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms and (ii) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement; provided, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach.

6.10 No Waiver of Rights, Powers and Remedies.

No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement by a party hereto, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a party hereto shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this Subscription Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without such notice or demand.

 

6.11 Remedies.

 

6.11.1 The parties agree that the Issuer and the Company would suffer irreparable damage if this Subscription Agreement was not performed or the Closing is not consummated in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damage. It is accordingly agreed that the Issuer and the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief, including in the form of an injunction or injunctions, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Subscription Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in Section 6.8, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law or in equity, including money damages.  The right to specific enforcement shall include the right of the Issuer or the Company to cause Subscriber and the right of the Company to cause the Issuer to cause the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this Subscription Agreement. The parties hereto further agree (i) to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy, (ii) not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement pursuant to this Section 6.11 is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable law or inequitable for any reason and (iii) to waive any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.  In connection with any Action for which the Company is being granted an award of money damages, each of the Issuer and Subscriber agrees that such damages, to the extent payable by such party, shall include, without limitation, damages related to the consideration that is or was to be paid to the Company or its equityholders under the Business Combination Agreement and/or Subscription Agreement and such damages are not limited to an award of out-of-pocket fees and expenses related to the Business Combination Agreement and Subscription Agreement.

6.12 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made by the Subscriber shall survive the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, if for any reason the Closing does not occur immediately following the consummation of the Transactions, all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties hereunder shall survive the consummation of the Transactions and remain in full force and effect.

 

6.13 No Broker or Finder. Other than the Placement Agent (which has been engaged by the Issuer in connection with this Subscription), each of the Issuer and Subscriber each represents and warrants to the other parties hereto that no broker, finder or other financial consultant has acted on its behalf in connection with this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in such a way as to create any liability on any other party hereto. Each of the Issuer and Subscriber agrees to indemnify and save the other parties hereto harmless from any claim or demand for commission or other compensation by any broker, finder, financial consultant or similar agent claiming to have been employed by or on behalf of such party and to bear the cost of legal expenses incurred in defending against any such claim.

 

6.14 Headings and Captions. The headings and captions of the various subdivisions of this Subscription Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way modify or affect the meaning or construction of any of the terms or provisions hereof.

 

6.15 Counterparts. This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or any other form of electronic delivery, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

6.16 Construction. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Subscription Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Subscription Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant. All references in this Subscription Agreement to numbers of shares, per share amounts and purchase prices shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or the like occurring after the date hereof.

 

6.17 Mutual Drafting. This Subscription Agreement is the joint product of the parties hereto and each provision hereof has been subject to the mutual consultation, negotiation and agreement of the parties and shall not be construed for or against any party hereto.

 

7. Consent to Disclosure.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Subscriber acknowledges that it has read the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2020, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, and understands that the Company has established the trust account described therein (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders and that disbursements from the Trust Account are available only in the limited circumstances set forth therein. Subscriber further acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s sole assets consist of the cash proceeds of the Company’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities, and that substantially all of these proceeds have been deposited in the Trust Account for the benefit of its public stockholders. Accordingly, Subscriber (on behalf of itself and its affiliates) hereby waives any past, present or future claim of any kind against, and any right to access, the Trust Account, any trustee of the Trust Account and the Company to collect from the Trust Account any monies that may be owed to them by the Company or any of its affiliates for any reason whatsoever, and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account at any time for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, for any knowing and intentional material breach by any of the parties to this Subscription Agreement of any of its representations or warranties as set forth in this Subscription Agreement, or such party’s material breach of any of its covenants or other agreements set forth in this Subscription Agreement, which material breach constitutes, or is a consequence of, a purposeful act or failure to act by such party with the knowledge that the taking of such act or failure to take such act would cause a material breach of this Subscription Agreement. This Section 8 shall survive the termination of this Subscription Agreement for any reason.

   

9. [Waiver of Sovereign Immunity. With respect to the liability of Subscriber to perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement, with respect to itself or its property, Subscriber:

9.3 waives, in any such proceedings, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right of immunity which it or any of its assets now has or may acquire in the future in any jurisdiction;

9.5 specifies that, for the purposes of this provision, “assets” shall be taken as excluding “premises of the mission” as defined in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations signed at Vienna, April 18, 1961, “consular premises” as defined in the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations signed in 1963, and military property or military assets or property of the Investor.]1
