THE COMPANY

Introduction

          NUR Macroprinters Ltd. (“NUR”) is a leading supplier of wide format and super wide format digital printing systems worldwide. We develop, manufacture, sell and service digital color printers for the printing of large images such as billboards, posters and banners, point of purchase displays, exhibition and trade show displays as well as decorations and backdrops for construction scaffolding covers, showrooms, television and film studios, museums and exhibits.  We also supply our customers with inks and solvents for use with our printers.

          In July 2000, we acquired substantially all assets and specified liabilities of Salsa Digital, Ltd. and related entities, previously one of our competitors in the digital printing market.  Under the terms of our agreement, we acquired the assets for $30 million, which consisted of $20 million in cash and 666,667 ordinary shares valued at approximately $10 million, based upon the closing price of the ordinary shares on the Nasdaq National Market on May 15, 2000.  In 1998 and 1999, the business we acquired from Salsa Digital had revenues of $25 million and $33 million, respectively, compared with our revenues during the same periods of  $36 million and $61 million.

          In December 2000, we relocated our main facilities in Israel to a building consisting of approximately 50,000 square feet in a high-tech industrial zone in Lod, Israel. We use this facility as our headquarters and for research and development. We have invested a total of approximately $2 million in building out these facilities. The initial five-year lease of the Lod facility, which commenced November 20, 2000, provides for monthly rent of approximately $63,000. The lease agreement grants NUR an option to continue the lease term for two consecutive periods of 2.5 years each.

          During 2001, we consolidated our U.S. operations. NUR America, Inc. in Boston, Massachusetts and Salsa Digital Printers Ltd. in San Antonio, Texas were integrated into a single facility in San Antonio, Texas. We further consolidated and streamlined our ink manufacturing operations. Our ink research and development operations, then located in Israel, Belgium and San Antonio, Texas were consolidated into a single facility in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium. Total restructuring costs in 2001 amounted to $3.2 million. In addition, we incurred one-time inventory write-offs of approximately $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2001. We associate the inventory write-offs with more efficient product rationalization, such as, among other things, the decrease of spare parts inventory.

          In January 2002, we raised $7 million through the private placement of 2,333,333 of our ordinary shares to the Investment Corp. of United Mizrahi Bank Ltd. at a price of $3.00 per share. The Investment Corp. of United Mizrahi Bank Ltd. also received warrants to purchase an additional 612,500 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $4.50 per warrant share, exercisable until January 17, 2006.

          On May 17, 2002, we filed a tender offer with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to which option holders had the right to cancel and exchange certain options granted to them under NUR’s 2000 Stock Option Plan, 1997 Stock Option Plan and 1995 Israel Stock Option Plan.  Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the tender offer, the new options were to be granted six months and one day from the date the old options were canceled, at an exercise price equal to the market price on the date of the new grant.  In order to receive the new options, option holders were required to continue to have a service relationship with NUR or any of its subsidiaries until the new grant date. 2,027,166 ordinary shares, representing 93% of the outstanding options under NUR’s 2000 Stock Option Plan, 1997 Stock Option Plan and 1995 Israel Stock Option Plan, were available for exchange under the tender offer.  The tender offer expired on June 15, 2002 and resulted in the cancellation of 1,245,316 options with varying exercise prices. On December 17, 2002 we fulfilled our obligation to the participants in the tender offer and granted 1,219,584 options to purchase our ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.72 per share.

          In November 2002, we appointed the Computer And Sign Technology Co. Ltd (CAST) as our exclusive distributor for the NUR Fresco product line in the Peoples Republic of China. Based in Shanghai, CAST is one of the largest suppliers of sign materials and digital printing systems in China. As our exclusive distributor in China, CAST was responsible for sales and support of the NUR Fresco product line to new customers throughout the Chinese market. At the time we appointed CAST, we also transferred our Asia Pacific headquarters to Hong Kong consolidating the Shanghai operations into our new headquarters in Hong Kong.This restructuring process resulted in the termination of approximately twenty employees, mainly in Shanghai. In year 2003 we ceased our operations in the Chinese market and the engagement of CAST as an exclusive distributor in China was terminated.

          On April 1, 2003, Erez Shachar resigned his position as President and Chief Executive Officer of NUR. David Amir, who has been working with NUR as a consultant for over a year, and was responsible for the restructuring of our service and support organizations, replaced Erez Shachar. Prior to joining NUR, David Amir served in various senior executive positions with Scitex, including Corporate Vice-President for Business Development; Vice-President Customer Services of Scitex Europe; and Manager of International Customer Support.

          In May 2003, we signed an agreement to acquire the remaining 50% shares of NUR Pro Engineering, our subcontractor for the assembly and manufacturing of our printers, from Ogen Dialogix Ltd., for the price of $0.85 million. Under the terms of the agreement the transfer of the shares became effective on March 31, 2004. As of May 2004 the parties fulfilled their material commitments and undertakings under the agreement. Upon completion of the transaction, NUR Pro Engineering shall become a wholly owned subsidiary of NUR. During the third quarter of 2003, we completed a consolidation process of our global machinery manufacturing operations of the Salsa Printers in San Antonio, Texas with those of all other NUR printers in NUR Pro Engineering, into a single large manufacturing facility in Rosh Ha’Ayin, Israel.

          In July 2003 we announced our decision to exit the substrate business. As the digital wide format printers have become more widespread, substrates have become a low margin commodity that is no longer profitable for NUR to resell. We believe terminating this business will allow us to more strongly focus on our proprietary specialty inks.

          On October 1, 2003, David Seligman joined NUR as Chief Financial Officer succeeding Hilel Kremer. Prior to joining NUR, David Seligman served as Chief Financial Officer for RADVISION Ltd. (Nasdaq: RVSN) and LanOptics Ltd. (Nasdaq: LNOP).

          In September 2003, NUR completed its consolidation process of the machinery manufacturing facilities in San Antonio, Texas and Rosh Ha’Ayin, Israel. NUR now manufactures all of its printers in a single plant located in Rosh Ha’Ayin, Israel. The Ink manufacturing facilities, also previously located in San Antonio, Texas were relocated to a new manufacturing plant in Ashkelon, Israel. We now produce all of our solvent-based inks in a single manufacturing facility in Ashkelon, Israel. We are now near completion of the transfer of a substantial portion of the research and development activities from Belgium to Israel.

          In October 2003, NUR announced the opening of its new North American headquarters and training center in Moonachie, New Jersey. The 11,000 square feet facility replaces NUR’s former facility in San Antonio, Texas. The new headquarters houses NUR’s North American sales, marketing, administrative, and support staff and includes a fully equipped training center and demo site.

          On July 30, 2003, NUR secured a convertible loan commitment from several investors pursuant to which the investors undertook to provide NUR with a convertible loan in the aggregate amount of $3.5 million. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the loan was convertible at any time into an aggregate of 5,645,160 ordinary shares of NUR at a conversion rate of $0.62 per share. In consideration for the loan undertaking, NUR agreed to pay a cash commitment fee and issued to the investors five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,009,614 ordinary shares of NUR at an exercise price of $0.52 per share. NUR also issued five-year warrants to its placement agent to purchase an aggregate of 180,211 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.52 per share and paid the placement agent a cash fee of $70,000. Duncan Capital Group, LLC is the successor to the placement agent that received the placement agent fee. Dan Purjes is a manager of Duncan Capital Group, LLC. On December 31, 2003, the investors elected to convert $2 million of the loan into 3,225,805 ordinary shares at the conversion rate of $0.62 per share. On March 31, 2004, the investors elected to convert the remaining $1.5 million of the loan into 2,419,355 ordinary shares at the conversion rate of $0.62 per share. NUR’s chairman and largest shareholder, Dan Purjes, provided $1.3 million of the loan and received an aggregate of 1,854,839 ordinary shares and warrants to purchase up to 331,731 ordinary shares. Mr. Purjes is the chairman of one of the other investors, Y Securities Management, Ltd., which provided $50,000 of the loan and received an aggregate of 80,645 ordinary shares and warrants to purchase up to 14,423 ordinary shares. Mr. Purjes is also the chairman of X Securities Ltd., which received placement agent warrants to purchase 111,799 ordinary shares. David Amir, NUR’s president and chief executive office, provided $50,000 of the loan and received an aggregate of 80,645 ordinary shares and warrants to purchase up to 14,423 ordinary shares.

          On March 31 and April 1, 2004, NUR issued 2,586,140 ordinary shares to several investors for $1.16 per share for proceeds of $2,999,923 in a private placement. The investors also received five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 646,542 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $1.54 per share, exercisable until March 31, 2009.  NUR also issued five-year warrants to its placement agent to purchase an aggregate of up to 129,310 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $1.16 per share and paid the placement agent, Duncan Capital Group, LLC, a cash fee of $147,798. Dan Purjes is a manager of Duncan Capital Group, LLC. Mr. Purjes is the chairman of one of the investors, X Securities Ltd., which purchased 81,897 ordinary shares for $95,000 and received warrants to purchase 20,474 ordinary shares.

          Our shares are listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the symbol NURM. There is no non-United States trading market for our shares.

Our products

          Our printers allow customers to print large color images on demand, generally in substantially less time, with less labor and at a lower cost than traditional methods of printing.

          Super wide format printers

          In the super wide category we offer the NUR Ultima™ 5000, commercially released in July 2003. The NUR Ultima medium volume production printing printers are designed to provide high levels of productivity while offering simplified maintenance procedures and improved ease-of-use. They are also designed to provide reduced ink consumption to ensure low operating expenses in high speed printing modes. The Ultima printers use piezo drop-on-demand inkjet technology to produce photorealistic quality. The Ultima printers feature apparent print resolution up to 600 dpi and are capable of speeds up to 810 square feet (76 square meters) per hour. The NUR Ultima 5000 outputs in widths of up to 5 meters (or approximately 16 feet wide).

          In April 2004 NUR presented the NUR Expedio, a new 5-meter superwide inkjet production printer. The NUR Expedio uses UV-curable inks and it provides a combination of speed, quality, and versatility. It is anticipated that the machine is to be released for beta tests towards the second half of 2004 and it is expected to be commercially available during the first quarter of 2005. The NUR Expedio will be capable of printing 8-colour photo-realistic graphics for close-up viewing at up to 720 dpi, as well as 5-meter superwide prints for billboards at super-fast speeds – 360 dpi at up to 180 square meters per hour.

          Wide format printers

          Our wide format printers are headed by the NUR Fresco™ family of wide format printers. The NUR Fresco printer was commercially released in February 2000. The NUR Fresco printers are designed to provide a digital alternative to conventional screen printing on short and medium run jobs. The NUR Fresco printers use piezo continuous drop-on-demand inkjet technology to produce high quality graphics for a wide range of applications. These include, among other things, point-of-purchase displays, banners, billboards, bus shelter graphics, posters, shopping mall displays and airport terminal displays.

          The NUR Fresco printers print on a wide variety of substrates in roll-to-roll or roll-to-sheet modes — the 1800 model outputs in widths up to 1.83 meters (approximately 6 feet); the 3200 model outputs in widths up to 3.2 meters (approximately 10 feet).

          In September 2002, we released the NUR Fresco HiQ 8C models. The NUR Fresco HiQ 8C is based on the previous model which was modified to print using eight colors mode instead of the standard 4-color mode. Modifications to the printer included changes to the ink system to accommodate eight colors and a new switch box that enables fast and easy switching between the 4-color and the 8-color printing modes. NUR’s software has also been modified to support 8-color printing.

          In April 2004 NUR presented the new NUR Fresco II series that will replace the NUR Fresco HiQ models when commercial availability. The Fresco II, which is currently in beta tests, is expected to be commercially released on June 2004. It would be possible to upgrade former Fresco models to the Fresco II level of performance. The Fresco II entails improved printing speed, which allows the machine to print up to 120 square meters per hour, as well as features such as double sided printing registration that extends the machines versatility and allows its users for even greater range of applications.

          The NUR Ultima printer described above is also available in a wide format, the NUR Ultima HiQ 3200 (3.2 meters or approximately 10 feet wide).

          In September 2003, we commercially released the NUR Tempo™ flatbed digital printer. The NUR Tempo uses UV-curable inks that give it the flexibility to print on almost any type of substrate. These include corrugated board, foam-core paperboard, acrylic sheets, PVC, polycarbonate, fluted polypropylene, glass, wood and standard rolled media. It also features a large format table (10 ½ ft. x 6 ½ ft. / 3.2m x 2m) to accommodate a wide variety of applications and job formats. It can handle both rigid and rolled substrates with fast and easy changeover between the two for ultimate flexibility. The printer offers 4 and 8 color printing modes, delivering a combination of high speed  (up to 82 square meters per hour) and photo-realistic image quality. The printer’s fully encapsulated construction enables it to remove the gases exhausted during the printer’s operation out of the working premises, thus ensuring a comfortable working environment. The NUR Tempo is designed to eliminate the extra steps involved in lamination and cutting/trimming processes common to other traditional methods of printing graphics on rigid surfaces.

          In April 2004 NUR introduced the Tempo L, a new mid-range, 4-color flatbed printer joining the NUR Tempo™ flatbed inkjet press product line. The new NUR Tempo L model is targeted at customers who wish to enter the UV-curable inks flatbed printing market with a lower up-front capital investment than is required for the top-of-the-line 8-color NUR Tempo model, while securing the growth path for future increase in performance. The NUR Tempo L prints at a speed of up to 50 square meters per hour and is based on the platform of the top-of-the-line Tempo with the same printing format and robust design. It is possible to easily upgrade the Tempo L to the Tempo level of performance, thus allowing for a “two-step” entry to the flatbed arena. This may expand the potential market for the Tempo product line.

          Consumables

          We also sell specialized inks for use with our printers.  The inks sold by NUR to our customers for use with the NUR Fresco, the NUR Ultima and the NUR Tempo printers are resistant to water and ultraviolet rays and are well suited for indoor and outdoor use without lamination.

Our customers

          We sell our printers and related products primarily to commercial digital printers, design and service firms, screen printers, commercial photo labs, outdoor media companies and trade shops. The NUR Printers are installed in more than 700 sites throughout Europe, North and South America, Africa and Asia.

Our strategy

          NUR’s strategy is to:

          •

strengthen our position as a world leader in the wide format and super wide format digital printing markets by supplying the most productive and cost-effective wide format and super wide format digital printers and totally digitally-based printing solutions for the out-of-home advertising market;

RISK FACTORS

          Investing in our securities is very risky. You should be able to bear a complete loss of your investment. To understand the level of risk, you should carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as the other information found in this form.

          We depend on a few key products in a business subject to rapid technological change.  We are highly dependent upon the sale of our principal products - the NUR Fresco printers, the NUR Ultima printers and the NUR Tempo printers and upon the sale of ink products. Rapid changes in technology, customer preferences and evolving industry standards continue to characterize the market for our printers. Our future financial performance will depend upon our ability to update our current products and develop and market new products to keep pace with technological advances in the industry. During 2001, 2002 and 2003, we invested approximately $10.9 million, $9.2 million and $7.2 million, respectively, in research and development projects. Although we plan to continue to invest in research and development, our business could seriously suffer if we fail to anticipate or respond adequately to changes in technology and customer preferences, or if our products are delayed in their development or introduction. We cannot assure you that we will successfully develop any new products. If our competitors introduce new products, the sales of our existing products and our financial results could be harmed.

          We currently have no commitments for additional financing.  We have incurred operating losses during the last several quarters. We may need additional funds if we seek to expand our operations or if we do not meet our expected revenues in future quarters. If we are unable to raise funds through public or private financing of debt or equity, we will be unable to increase expenditures that could ultimately improve our financial results, such as research and development or the production and marketing of our products. The amount of money we may need depends on numerous factors, including the success of our marketing and customer service efforts, our research and development activities and the demand for our products and services. We currently have no commitments for additional financing.  We cannot guarantee that additional financing will be available or that, if available, will be obtained on terms we find favorable.

          We must comply with covenants concerning our bank loans. If we do not meet certain covenants provided for in our loan agreements with Bank Hapoalim B.M. (“Bank Hapoalim”), Bank Leumi le Israel B.M. (“Bank Leumi”) and Israel Discount Bank Ltd. (“Bank Discount”), we may be required by the banks to immediately repay our debts. In July 2003, we amended the financial ratios governing our loan agreements with Bank Hapoalim, Bank Leumi and Bank Discount. During 2003, we failed to meet some of these financial ratios. The banks have agreed in writing not to act upon their contractual rights pursuant to our default. The financial ratios were further amended on February 2004. There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the bank covenants in the future. Our failure to comply with the bank agreements could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

10



          We depend on sole source suppliers for the inkjet printheads for our printers.  We currently purchase all of the inkjet printheads used in our NUR Fresco, NUR Ultima and NUR Tempo printers from sole suppliers. If any of these sole suppliers experience problems that result in production delays, our sales to new customers and existing customers that rely on our inkjet components to operate their printers could be hurt. Production delays could result from fire, flood or other casualty, work stoppages, production problems or other unforeseen circumstances. Although we have not experienced any major production delays to date, there can be no assurance that such delays will not occur in the future. Because the success of our business depends on the sale of our printers, supply problems could have a material adverse effect on our financial results. Also, if any of our sole suppliers reduce or change the credit or payment terms they extend to us, our business could also be harmed.

          We rely on subcontractors to help us manufacture our products.  We employ a limited number of unaffiliated subcontractors to manufacture components for our printers. To date, we have been able to obtain adequate supplies of the components and raw materials necessary to produce our printers and we have not had any material supply problems with our subcontractors. Because we rely on subcontractors, however, we cannot be sure that we will be able to maintain an adequate supply of components or products. Moreover, we cannot be sure that any of the components we purchase will satisfy our quality standards and be delivered on time. Our business could suffer if we fail to maintain our relationships with our subcontractors or fail to develop alternative sources for our printer components. We cannot guarantee that we will develop alternative sources of production for our products.

          The market for our printers is very competitive.  The printing equipment industry is extremely competitive and many of our competitors may have greater management, financial, technical, manufacturing, marketing, sales, distribution and other resources than we do. We compete against several companies that market digital printing systems based on electrostatic, drop-on-demand and continuous drop-on-demand inkjet, and other technologies. Three of our principal competitors in the wide format digital printing arena are Vutek, Scitex Vision Ltd. and Gandi Innovations. These companies have introduced products that compete with the NUR Fresco and NUR Ultima printers, and in certain cases with the NUR Tempo. In the market for printers utilizing UV curable ink our main competitors are Durst Phototechnik, Inca Digital Printers, 3M Image Graphics Scitex Vision and Vutek. These companies have introduced products that compete with the NUR Tempo printers. We have also witnessed continued growth of a local Chinese market where approximately 15 local competitors are developing, manufacturing and selling inexpensive printers, mainly to the local Chinese market, but these Chinese manufacturers have also begun penetrating the international market. Our ability to compete depends on factors both within and outside of our control, including the performance and acceptance of our current printers and any products we develop in the future. We also face competition from existing conventional wide format and super wide format printing methods, including hand painting, screen printing and offset printing. Our competitors could develop new products, with existing or new technology, that could be more competitive in our market than our printers. We cannot assure you that we can compete effectively with any such products.

11



          We face strong competition in the market for printing supplies.  We also compete with independent manufacturers in the market for printer supplies. In 2001, 2002 and 2003, ink sales accounted for 26.1%, 25.7% and 26.9% of our total revenues, respectively. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to remain the exclusive or even principal ink manufacturer for our printers. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete effectively or achieve significant revenues in the ink business. During 2003, we discontinued our operations in the substrate business, a highly competitive market and characterized by a large number of suppliers worldwide. In 2001, 2002 and 2003 substrate revenues accounted for 10.4%, 12.2% and 3.5% of our total sales, respectively.

          We depend on our executive officers and other key employees.  Our success depends to a significant extent upon the contributions of key personnel, and especially our executive officers. Our senior management has recently undergone significant changes. On April 1, 2003, Erez Shachar, our former President and Chief Executive Officer resigned his position and was replaced by David Amir. On October 1, 2003, David Seligman joined NUR as Chief Financial Officer succeeding Hilel Kremer. During the second and third quarters of 2003, new managing directors were appointed for NUR Asia Pacific and NUR Europe and the former managing director of NUR Europe relocated to New Jersey to serve as the President of NUR America. On December 25, 2003, Roni Zomber joined NUR as VP Operations succeeding Michael Dayan. Our business could seriously suffer if one or more of our key personnel were to leave our company. In addition, we do not have, and do not contemplate getting, “key-man” life insurance for any of our key employees. Our future success will also depend in part on our continuing ability to attract highly qualified employees. We cannot assure our continued success in attracting or retaining highly qualified personnel.

          We rely on trade secrets, licenses and patents to protect our proprietary rights.  We rely on a combination of trade secrets, licenses, patents and non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements to establish and protect our proprietary rights in our products. We cannot guarantee that our existing patents or any future patents will not be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or that our competitors will not independently develop or patent technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology. We cannot be sure that we will receive further patent protection in Israel, the United States, or elsewhere, for existing or new products or applications. Even if we do secure further patent protection, we cannot guarantee it will be effective. Also, although we take precautionary measures to protect our trade secrets, we cannot guarantee that others will not acquire equivalent trade secrets or steal our exclusive technology. For example, in some countries, meaningful patent protection is not available. We are not aware of any infringement claims against us involving our proprietary rights. Third parties may assert infringement claims against us in the future, however, and the cost of responding to such assertions, regardless of their validity, could be significant. In addition, such claims could be found to be valid and result in large judgments against us. Even if such claims are not valid, the cost to protect our patent rights could be substantial.

          We may be subject to environmental related liabilities due to our use of hazardous materials such as methyl ethyl-ketone solvent.  We mix the ink used in some of our printers with a methyl ethyl-ketone solvent. Methyl ethyl-ketone solvent is a hazardous substance and is subject to various government regulations relating to its transfer, handling, packaging, use and disposal. We store the ink at warehouses in Europe, the United States and Israel, and a shipping company ships it at our direction. We face potential responsibility for problems that may arise when we ship the ink to customers. We believe that we are in material compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations. If we fail to comply with these laws or an accident involving our ink waste or methyl ethyl-ketone solvent occurs, however, then our business and financial results could be harmed.

12



          We benefit from government grants, tax benefits and other funding from third parties.  We benefit from certain Israeli and Belgian Government programs and tax legislation principally related to research and development grants and capital investment incentives. Our operations could be adversely affected if these funding programs and tax benefits are reduced or eliminated and not replaced with equivalent benefits, or if our ability to meet the conditions to benefit from such funding programs and tax benefits were significantly reduced. We cannot assure you that favorable tax legislation will continue in the future or that the available benefits will not be reduced. In addition, to receive such grants and tax benefits, we must comply with a number of conditions. If we fail to comply with these conditions, the grants and tax benefits that we receive could be partially or fully canceled and we would be forced to refund the amount of the canceled benefits received, in whole or in part, adjusted for inflation and interest. We are now near completion of the transfer of a substantial portion of the research and development activities conducted by NUR Media Solutions from Belgium to Israel. In addition, until recently, NUR supplied substrates for use with our printers and ink through our wholly owned subsidiary in Belgium, NUR Media Solutions. In July 2003 we announced our decision to exit the substrate business. We believe that prior to and following the cessation of operation of NUR Media Solutions we have operated and will continue to operate in compliance with the required conditions mentioned above, although we cannot be sure.

          Political instability in Israel may disrupt important operations and our business.  Our headquarters and research facilities, operations and some of our subcontractors are located in the State of Israel. Although most of our sales are currently made to customers outside of Israel, we are nonetheless directly influenced by the political, economic and military conditions affecting Israel. Our business could be harmed by any major hostilities involving Israel, the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its trading partners, or a significant downturn in the economic condition of Israel. The prospect of peace in the Middle East is uncertain and has recently deteriorated due to violent conflicts between Israelis and Palestinians.  Furthermore, several countries restrict business with Israeli companies. We could be adversely affected by further setbacks to the peace process or by restrictive laws or policies directed toward Israel or Israeli businesses. In addition, all nonexempt male adult citizens of Israel, including some of our officers and employees, are obligated to perform military reserve duty and are subject to being called for active duty under emergency circumstances. While we have operated effectively under these requirements since our incorporation, we cannot predict the full impact of such conditions on us in the future, particularly if emergency circumstances occur. If many of our employees are called for active duty, our operations in Israel may be slowed and our business may be harmed.

          You may have difficulty enforcing U.S. judgments against us in Israel.  We are organized under the laws of Israel and our headquarters are in Israel. Most of our officers and directors reside outside of the United States. Therefore, you may not be able to enforce any judgment obtained in the U.S. against us or any of such persons. You may not be able to enforce civil actions under U.S. securities laws if you file a lawsuit in Israel. However, we have been advised by our Israeli counsel that subject to certain limitations, Israeli courts may enforce a final judgment of a U.S. court for liquidated amounts in civil matters after a hearing in Israel. If a foreign judgment is enforced by an Israeli court, it will be payable in Israeli currency.

13



          Our operating results fluctuate from period-to-period.  The results of our operations for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in future periods. Our operating results have in the past been, and will continue to be, subject to quarterly fluctuations as a result of factors such as the integration of people, operations and products from acquired businesses and/or technologies, increased competition in the printing equipment and ink industry, the introduction and market acceptance of new technologies and standards, changes in general economic conditions and changes in economic conditions specific to our industry. Further, our revenues may vary significantly from quarter to quarter as a result of, among other factors, the timing of new product announcements and releases by our competitors and us. We do not typically have a material backlog of orders at the beginning of each quarter. We generally ship and record a significant portion of our revenues for orders placed within the same quarter, primarily in the last month of the quarter. We may not learn of shortfalls in sales until late in, or shortly after the end of, such fiscal period. As a result, our quarterly earnings may be subject to significant variations.

          Our business is subject to risks from international operations.  We conduct business globally. Accordingly, our future results could be materially adversely affected by a variety of uncontrollable and changing factors including, among others, foreign currency exchange rates, regulatory, political, or economic conditions in a specific country or region, trade protection measures and other regulatory requirements, business and government spending patterns, and natural disasters. Any or all of these factors could have a material adverse impact on our future international business.

          Currency fluctuations are a risk we face on a daily basis.  Because we generate revenues and expenses in various currencies, including the U.S. dollar, the NIS and the Euro, our financial results are subject to the effects of fluctuations of currency exchange rates. We cannot predict, however, when exchange or price controls or other restrictions on the conversion of foreign currencies could impact our business. Currency fluctuations could hurt our profitability.

          Our stock price may be volatile.  Our ordinary shares have experienced substantial price volatility, particularly as a result of variations between our anticipated and actual financial results, the published expectations of analysts, and announcements by our competitors and us. In addition, the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have negatively affected the market price of many technology and manufacturing companies, in particular, and that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. These factors, as well as general economic and political conditions, may materially adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares in the future. Additionally, volatility or a lack of positive performance in our stock price may adversely affect our ability to retain key employees, all of whom have been granted stock options.

          We may not comply with The Nasdaq SmallCap Market standards.  On March 24, 2004, we received a compliance notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., stating that we are not in compliance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(2). The continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq SmallCap Market, Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(2), require listed companies to meet one of the following three standards to remain listed on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market: (i) stockholders’ equity equal to a minimum of $2.5 million; (ii) market value of listed securities to equal a minimum of $35 million; or (iii) net income from continuing operations (in the latest fiscal year or two of the last three fiscal years) to equal a minimum of $500,000. In previous years we have fulfilled this requirement because we had stockholders’ equity in excess of $2.5 million. As of December 31, 2003, we have negative stockholders equity of $1.5 million. We have been asked to provide a plan to The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. by April 7, 2004 setting forth how we intend to achieve and sustain compliance with The Nasdaq SmallCap Market listing requirements.  On April 5, 2004, we responded to The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.’s letter, stating that we believe we are in compliance with the stockholders’ equity and market value of listed securities standards due to the issuance of (i) 3,225,805 shares on December 31, 2003 pursuant to the conversion of a portion of the convertible loan at US $0.62 per share for aggregate proceeds of $2.0 million, (ii) 2,419,355 shares pursuant to the conversion of the remainder of the convertible loan at $0.62 per share for aggregate proceeds of $1.5 million and (iii) 2,586,140 ordinary shares at $1.16 per share in the private placement for aggregate proceeds of $2,999,923, and that we believe we will be in compliance with the net income from continuing operations in 2004.  We are continuing to discuss with The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. the listing requirements relating to NUR. If The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. determines that we nevertheless fail to meet the continued listing requirements, any trading in our ordinary shares will be conducted in the over-the-counter market on the NASD’s OTC Electronic Bulletin Board or in the “pink sheets.”

          If our ordinary shares are removed from quotation on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the liquidity of our ordinary shares and the coverage of our ordinary shares by securities analysts and the media could be reduced, which could result in lower prices for the ordinary shares than might otherwise prevail and larger spreads between the bid and asked prices for our ordinary shares.  Additionally, certain investors will not purchase securities that are not quoted on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market, which could materially impair our ability to raise funds through the issuance of our ordinary shares.

          If our ordinary shares are removed from quotation on Nasdaq and the trading price of our ordinary shares is less than $5.00 per share, trading in our ordinary shares would also be subject to the requirements of Rule 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Pursuant to Rule 15g-9, brokers and dealers who recommend such low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements, including a requirement that they make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written consent prior to the transaction.

          The Securities Enforcement Remedies and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 also requires additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock (generally, according to recent regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, any equity security not traded on an exchange or quoted on Nasdaq or the OTC Bulletin Board that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions), including the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith. Such requirements could severely limit the market liquidity of our ordinary shares.

15



          There can be no assurance that we can continue to meet the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq SmallCap Market.  If we fail to meet such requirements our ordinary shares may be removed from quotation on Nasdaq or treated as a penny stock.

16



SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

          This prospectus, and the other reports we have filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.  Forward-looking statements deal with our current plans, intentions, beliefs and expectations and statements of future economic performance.  Statements containing terms like “believes,” “does not believe,” “plans,” “expects,” “intends,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” and other phrases of similar meaning are considered to imply uncertainty and are forward-looking statements.

          We cannot guarantee our future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.  Neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of these statements.

          We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus.

USE OF PROCEEDS

As used in this table, “beneficial ownership” means the sole or shared voting and investment power of ordinary shares.  Unless otherwise indicated, each selling security holder listed below has sole voting and investment power with respect to the ordinary shares indicated as beneficially owned thereby.  A person is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of any ordinary shares that such person has a right to acquire within sixty days of the date of this prospectus.  In accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, any ordinary shares that any selling security holder has the right to acquire within sixty days of May 19, 2004 are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the beneficial ownership percentage of such selling security holder, but have not been deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage for any other selling security holder.

Because the selling security holders may sell all or some portion of the ordinary shares beneficially owned by them, only an estimate (assuming the selling security holders sells all of the shares offered hereby) can be given as to the number of ordinary shares that will be beneficially owned by the selling security holders after this offering. In addition, the selling security holders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time or from time to time since the dates on which they provided the information regarding the ordinary shares beneficially owned by them, all or a portion of the ordinary shares beneficially owned by them in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

          This prospectus covers the sale of ordinary shares by the selling security holders.  As used herein, “selling security holders” include donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors in interest selling shares received from a selling security holder after the date of this prospectus as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer.  Any distribution of any such securities by the selling security holders in interest may be effected from time to time in one or more of the following transactions:

 

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker/dealer solicits purchasers;

 

 

 

 

block trades in which the broker/dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

 

 

 

purchases by a broker/dealer as principal and resale by the broker/dealer for its account;

 

 

 

 

an exchange distribution in accordance with the Rules of the applicable exchange;

 

 

 

 

privately negotiated transactions;

 

 

 

 

settlement of short sales;

 

 

 

 

broker/dealers may agree with the selling security holders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

 

 

 

a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

 

 

 

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

          We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the ordinary shares.  The aggregate proceeds to the selling security holders from the securities offered hereby will be the offering price less applicable commissions or discounts, if any.  We do not know if the selling security holders will sell any of the securities offered hereby.

          The selling security holders and such underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents, upon effecting a sale of securities, may be considered “underwriters” as that term is defined in the Securities Act. The selling security holders will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements because the selling security holders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act.  Sales effected through agents, brokers or dealers will ordinarily involve payment of customary brokerage commissions although some brokers or dealers may purchase such securities as agents for others or as principals for their own account.  The selling security holders will pay any sales commissions or similar selling expenses applicable to the sale of ordinary shares.  A portion of any proceeds of sales and discounts, commissions or other sellers’ compensation may be deemed to be underwriting compensation for purposes of the Securities Act.

          The selling security holders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

21



          Broker/dealers engaged by the selling security holders may arrange for other brokers/dealers to participate in sales. Broker/dealers may receive commissions from the selling security holders (or, if any broker/dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling security holders do not expect these commissions to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

          The selling security holders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the ordinary shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the ordinary shares from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling security holders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling security holders under this prospectus.

          The selling security holders and any broker/dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker/dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions under the Securities Act. The selling security holders have informed NUR that it does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the ordinary shares.

          Pursuant to applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the securities offered hereby may not simultaneously engage in market activities for the ordinary shares for a period of five business days prior to the commencement of such distribution.  In addition, each selling security holder and any other person who participates in a distribution of the securities will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and may affect the marketability of the securities and the ability of any person to engage in market activities for the ordinary shares.

          At the time a particular offering of securities is made, to the extent required, a prospectus supplement will be distributed which will set forth the number of securities being offered and the terms of the offering, including the purchase price or the public offering price, the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, the purchase price paid by any underwriters for securities purchased from the selling security holders, any discounts, commissions and other items constituting compensation from the selling security holders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.  In addition, we will file a supplement to this prospectus upon a selling security holder notifying us that a donee, pledgee, transferee or other successor-in-interest intends to sell more than 500 shares.

          In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the securities will be sold in such jurisdictions, if required, only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.  In addition, in certain states the securities may not be sold unless the securities have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and the conditions of such exemption have been satisfied.

22



          We have agreed that we will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration or qualification of the ordinary shares under federal and state securities laws.  We and each selling security holder have agreed to indemnify each other and certain other persons against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of the securities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

LEGAL MATTERS

          The validity of the ordinary shares offered hereby will be passed upon for NUR by Doron Faibish.

EXPERTS

          Kost Forer Gabbay & Kassierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, independent auditors, have audited our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2002, and 2003 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003 included in our annual report on Form 20-F, as set forth in their report, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus and elsewhere in the registration statement. Our financial statements are incorporated by reference in reliance on Kost Forer Gabbay & Kassierer’s report, given on their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

SEC POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 15.          Indemnification of Directors and Officers

          Pursuant to NUR’s Amended and Restated Articles of Association, NUR may indemnify its office holders for (a) a monetary liability imposed upon an office holder for the benefit of another person by a judgment, including a judgment giving effect to a compromise and an arbitration award approved by a court, with respect to an act performed by same office holder in his capacity as an office holder of NUR, and (b) reasonable litigation expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by an office holder or imposed upon him by a court, in a proceeding brought against him by NUR or on its behalf or by another person, or in a criminal proceeding in which he was acquitted, or in a criminal proceeding in which he was convicted of a crime that does not require proof of criminal intent, and all with respect to an act thereby performed in his capacity as an office holder of NUR.  NUR’s Amended and Restated Articles of Association further provide that NUR may undertake in advance to indemnify an office holder, provided that the undertaking be limited to categories of events which in the opinion of NUR’s board of directors can be foreseen when the undertaking to indemnify is given, and to an amount established by the board of directors as reasonable under the circumstances; or indemnify the office holder retroactively.

          The Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the “Israeli Companies Law”) defines “office holder” to include directors, general manager, chief executive officer, executive vice president, vice president, other manager directly subordinate to the general manager and any person assuming the responsibilities of the foregoing positions without regard to such person’s title.

          In addition, pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, indemnification of, and procurement of insurance coverage for, an office holder of NUR is permitted if it is permitted by NUR’s Amended and Restated Articles of Association and if it is approved by NUR’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors. NUR’s Amended and Restated Articles of Association permit such indemnification and procurement of insurance coverage.  In certain circumstances, the Israeli Companies Law also requires approval of such indemnification and insurance by NUR’s shareholders. The approval of indemnification agreements and procurement of insurance for all of NUR’s directors requires shareholder approval.  In addition, the approval of indemnification and procurement of insurance for certain directors who may be deemed to hold 25% or more of the share capital of NUR requires the consent of disinterested shareholders subject and pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law.

1



          At the Annual Meeting of the Shareholders held on February 12, 2002, NUR’s shareholders authorized it to enter into indemnification agreements with each of its current and future directors. The shareholders of NUR further authorized certain amendments to the indemnification agreements at the Annual Meeting of the Shareholders held on November 18, 2003. According to the terms of the indemnification agreements (as amended), NUR shall, subject to the provisions of the indemnification agreement, indemnify each director for the following:

           (a)           monetary liabilities imposed on the director for the benefit of another person pursuant to a final judgment by a competent court relating to acts performed by the director in his/her capacity as a director or officer of NUR or its subsidiaries; and

          (b)          reasonable litigation expenses.

          The indemnification undertaking shall be limited to certain categories of events and to the maximum amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the net equity of NUR or to one time annual revenue of NUR in the year prior to the date of the claim (the higher amount of the two) with regard to judgment liability, and $3.0 million with regard to litigation expenses.

          NUR has purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy insuring its office holders with respect to those matters permitted by the Israeli Companies Law.

Item 17.          Undertakings

          (a)          The undersigned NUR hereby undertakes:

                         (1)          To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
                                        (i)          to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
                                        (ii)         to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set for the in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
                                        (iii)        to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or provided to the Commission by NUR pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.

4



                         (2)          That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                         (3)          To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

                         (4)          To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Rule 3-19 of Regulation S-X at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering.  Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act need not be furnished, provided, that NUR includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or Rule 3-19 of Regulation S-X if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the commission by NUR pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.

          (b)          The undersigned NUR hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of NUR’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

          (c)          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of NUR pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, NUR has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by NUR of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of NUR in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, NUR will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

            (x) Tax Status. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has made or filed all federal and state income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, except when the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations or to the Company’s knowledge otherwise due and payable, except those being contested in good faith and has set aside on its books reserves in accordance with GAAP reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply.

        (a) Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser, if not a natural person, is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full right, corporate or partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or similar action on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

        (b) Investment Intent. Such Purchaser understands that the Investor Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and in connection therewith, the Company is relying in part on the representations of the Purchaser set forth herein, and it is acquiring the Investor Securities as principal for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Investor Securities or any part thereof, has no present intention of distributing any of such Investor Securities and has no arrangement or understanding with any other persons regarding the distribution of such Investor Securities (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Investor Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Investor Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such Purchaser does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the Investor Securities.

        (c) Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Shares and Warrants, it was, and at is at the date hereof and will be on the Closing Date an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. Such Purchaser is not, and is not required to be, registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act.

14



        (d) Purchaser’s Review of Information. In making an investment decision as to whether to purchase the Shares and Warrants offered hereby, each Purchaser has relied upon the SEC Reports and the representation and warranties of the Company contained herein and conducted such independent examinations as it deemed necessary. Each Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the Company and the officers and all such questions have been asked and answered by the Company to the satisfaction of the Purchaser.

        (e) Experience of Such Purchaser. Each Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Investor Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Investor Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

        (f) General Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Shares and Warrants as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

        (g) Compliance with the Securities Laws. Such Purchaser hereby confirms its understanding that it may not cover short sales made prior to the Effective Date with shares of Common Stock registered for resale on the Registration Statement.

        (h) No Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement and/or any Transaction Document, nor the consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereby, will violate any constitution, statute, regulation, rule, injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling, charge, or other restriction of any government, governmental agency, or court to which Purchaser is subject or any provision of its organizational documents or other similar governing instruments and it will not result in any conflict with, breach of, or default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration or the loss of any benefit) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any agreement, permit or other instrument or obligation to which such Purchaser is a party, or by which such Purchaser or any of its properties or assets may be bound.

        (i) No Advice. Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented to Purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the Investor Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Investor Securities.

        (j) No Litigation, Etc. There is no action, suit, proceeding, judgment, claim or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Purchaser, threatened against the Purchaser which could reasonably be expected in any manner to challenge or seek to prevent, enjoin, alter or materially delay any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

15



        (k) Approvals. The execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and the consummation of the transactions set forth herein require no material action by or in respect of, or material filing with, any governmental body, agency, official or authority, by the Purchaser other than (i) any filings, authorizations, consents and approvals as may be required under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Improvements Act of 1976, as amended; (ii) the filing by the Purchaser with the SEC of such reports under the Exchange Act as may be required in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iii) any filings required by the securities or blue sky laws of the various states.

ARTICLE IV.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

        4.1 Transfer Restrictions.

        (a) The Investor Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Investor Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b) hereof, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or an opinion of counsel to the Company to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Investor Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

16



        (b) The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1(b), of a legend on any of the Investor Securities in the following form:

  THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, OR A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY TO SUCH EFFECT . THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

        The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Investor Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Investor Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection with the grant of the pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Transaction Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Investor Securities, including the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling stockholders thereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any such pledgee shall not be entitled to any rights under any of the Transaction Documents unless and until such pledgee executes a written agreement to be bound by Purchasers’ obligations under the Transaction Documents.

        (c) Subject to compliance with all laws, rules and regulations including, but not limited to, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, certificates evidencing the Shares and Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b)), (i) following any sale of the Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security, or (ii) following any sale of the Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Shares or Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k) and appropriate documentation is provided satisfactory to legal counsel to the Company, or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable regulation of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of the Commission). The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under and pursuant to this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than three (3) Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Shares and/or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section.

17



        (d) Each Purchaser severally and not jointly agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing the Shares and the Warrant Shares as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Purchaser will sell any Investor Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.

        4.2 Furnishing of Information. Until the earlier of the date no Purchaser owns any Investor Securities or five (5) years from the date of this Agreement, the Company covenants and agrees to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. Until the earlier of the date no Purchaser owns any Investor Securities or five (5) years from the date of this Agreement, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchasers and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Purchasers to sell any Shares and Warrant Shares under Rule 144. Until the earlier of the date no Purchaser owns any Investor Securities or five (5) years from the date of this Agreement, the Company further covenants and agrees that it will take such further action as any holder of Investor Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such person to sell any Shares and Warrant Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.

        4.3 Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of any of the Transaction Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Investor Securities to the Purchasers or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Investor Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market.

        4.4 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall by the end of the business on the Business Day following the Closing issue a press release or file a Current Report on Form 8-K, disclosing the transactions contemplated hereby and make such other filings and notices in the manner and time required by the Commission. The Company and the Placement Agent shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor the Placement Agent shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of the Placement Agent, or without the prior consent of the Placement Agent, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (i) as required by federal securities law in connection with the registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under subclause (i) or (ii).

18



        4.5 Use of Proceeds. The Company covenants and agrees that all of the net proceeds that it receives from the sale of the Shares and Warrants pursuant to this Agreement, although distributed, allocated and expended by the Company in its sole discretion, shall be used for general working capital and corporate purposes.

        4.6 Form D and Blue Sky. If required, the Company shall file a Form D with respect to the Transaction Securities as required under Regulation D under the Securities Act and, upon written request, provide a copy thereof to each Purchaser and the Placement Agent promptly after such filing. The Company shall, on or before the Closing, take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify any Transaction Securities for sale to the Purchasers and/or the Placement Agent pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Purchasers on or prior to the Closing. The Company shall make all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Transaction Securities required under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States following the Closing.

        4.7 Reservation of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue the Shares, the Warrant Shares and the Agent Shares.

        4.8 Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use its best efforts to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on its current Trading Market, and immediately file with the Trading Market to list the applicable Shares, Warrant Shares and Agent Shares on the Trading Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will include in such application the Shares, Warrant Shares and Agent Shares and will take such other action as is necessary or desirable in the opinion of the Purchasers to cause the Shares, Warrant Shares and Agent Shares to be listed on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will, to the extent commercially practicable, take all action necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on its current Trading Market and will comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market.

        4.9 Indemnification by the Purchasers. Each of the Purchasers (severally but not jointly) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, agents, representatives, shareholders and employees and each of their respective affiliates, from and against any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such party may suffer or incur which are caused by or arise out of (i) any material misrepresentation or material breach or default in the performance by it of any covenant or agreement made by it in this Agreement or in any of the Transaction Documents; or (ii) any material misrepresentation or material breach of warranty or representation made by it in this Agreement or in any of the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein or elsewhere, the liability of each Purchaser under this Section 4.10 shall be limited to the amount paid by the Purchaser pursuant hereto to purchase the Investor Securities, and the procedures and timing for indemnification by the Purchasers under this Section 4.10 shall follow the procedures and provisions of Sections 5.16(b) and (c), mutatis mutandis, with respect to indemnification by the Company of the Purchasers.

19



        4.10 Reporting Obligations. So long as any Purchaser beneficially owns any Investor Securities (but in any event no later than five (5) years from the date of this Agreement), the Company shall be required to continue to file or furnish pursuant to the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, and the Company shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to maintain it status as an issuer required to file such reports under the Exchange Act. In addition, the Company shall take all actions necessary to continue to meet the “registrant eligibility”requirements set forth in the general instructions to Form F-3 or any successor form thereto, to continue to be eligible to register the resale of the Shares, the Warrant Shares and the Agent Shares under the Securities Act on such Form.

No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and each Purchaser or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

        5.5 Construction. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

        5.6 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser.

        5.7 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

        5.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably agree that any suit or proceeding arising directly and/or indirectly pursuant to or under this Agreement, shall be brought solely in a federal or state court located in the City, County and State of New York. By its execution hereof, the parties hereby covenant and irrevocably submit to the in personam jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the City, County and State of New York and agree that any process in any such action may be served upon any of them personally, or by certified mail or registered mail upon them or their agent, return receipt requested, with the same full force and effect as if personally served upon them in New York City. The parties hereto waive any claim that any such jurisdiction is not a convenient forum for any such suit or proceeding and any defense or lack of in personam jurisdiction with respect thereto. In the event of any such action or proceeding, the party prevailing therein shall be entitled to payment from the other party hereto of its reasonable counsel fees and disbursements.

        5.9 Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Shares and Warrants and until earlier of two years from the Closing Date or such time that no Purchaser owns any Shares, Warrants and/or Warrant Shares and any other agreements and covenants contained herein shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Shares and Warrants and until no Purchaser owns any Shares, Warrants and/or Warrant Shares.

21



        5.10 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two 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 party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, 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 facsimile signature page were an original thereof.

        5.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

        5.12 Replacement of Investor Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Investor Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Investor Securities.

        5.13 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

        5.14 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall, to the extent permissible under applicable law, be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

22



        5.15 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Document. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser represents that it has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Purchasers.

        5.16 Indemnification by the Company.

        (a) The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser, the officers, directors, agents and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (including the cost (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses relating to an Indemnified Party’s (as defined below) actions to enforce the provisions of this Section 5.16) (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, to the extent arising out of or relating to (i) any material misrepresentation or material breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents, or, (ii) any material breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents, or (iii) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnified Party and arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents executed pursuant hereto by any of the Indemnified Parties; provided, however, that the Company shall have no liability under this Section 5.16 for any amount paid in settlement of claims without its consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; or to the extent that is finally judicially determined that such Losses result solely from a breach by the Purchaser of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of such Purchaser contained in this Agreement or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Purchaser. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.16 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any Losses, then the Indemnifying Party (as defined below), in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the actions or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The Company shall notify the Purchasers promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

        (b) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Company (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

24



        An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any matters related on a factual basis shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such proceeding affected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

        (c) Timing of Payments. All reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section 5.16 shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within five (5) Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, determined based upon the relative faults of the parties.

- 3 -



    (e)           Sufficient Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares of Common Stock available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities which such Registration Statement is required to cover, the Company shall amend the Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover at least 100% of the Registrable Securities, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than fifteen (15) business days after the necessity therefor arises. The Company shall cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof. For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of shares of Common Stock available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed “insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities” if the number of Registrable Securities issued or issuable upon exercise of the Warrants covered by such Registration Statement is greater than the number of shares of Common Stock available for resale under the Registration Statement to cover shares issued or issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

    3.           Registration Procedures. In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:

    (a)            Not less than five (5) Trading Days prior to the filing of the Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, the Company shall, furnish to the placement agent for the offering of the Registrable Securities, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed (including documents incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference to the extent requested by such Person) which documents will be subject to the review of such Holders, and (ii) subject, if appropriate, to the execution of a confidentiality agreement in form acceptable to the Company, cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent certified public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of placement agent’s counsel to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act.

    (b)            (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; and (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and, as promptly as reasonably possible, upon request, provide the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to the Registration Statement (subject, if appropriate, to the execution of confidentiality agreements in form acceptable to the Company).

- 4 -



    (c)            Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than five (5) Trading Days prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing promptly following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement is proposed to be filed; (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of the Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on the Registration Statement (the Company shall upon request provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses thereto to each of the Holders, subject, if appropriate, to the execution of confidentiality agreements in form acceptable to the Company); and (C) with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information, unless the disclosure thereof is restricted under applicable law; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in the Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to the Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit 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, not misleading.

    (d)            Use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

    (e)            Promptly deliver to each Holder no later than five (5) business days after the Effectiveness Date, without charge, two (2) copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto (and, upon the request of the Holder such additional copies as such Persons may reasonably request in connection with resales by the Holder of Registrable Securities). The Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 6 (o) or Section 3(c).

    (f)            Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for the resale by the Holder under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.

- 5 -



    (g)            If requested by the Holders, cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holders may request.

    (h)            Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(c)(v), as promptly as reasonably possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither the Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

    (i)            Use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission relating to the registration of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise.

    (j)            The Company shall not be required to include any Holder that does not complete a Selling Shareholder Questionnaire attached as Exhibit C to the Purchase Agreement.

    (k)            The Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to either (a) cause all the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (b) secure designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement on the Nasdaq National Market or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, or, (c) if the Company is unsuccessful in satisfying the preceding clauses (a) or (b), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to secure the inclusion for quotation on The American Stock Exchange, Inc. or the NASD Bulletin Board for such Registrable Securities and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to arrange for at least two (2) market makers to register with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”) as such with respect to such Registrable Securities. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3(k).

- 6 -



    (l)            The Company shall make all documents, files, books, records, officers, directors and employees of the Company reasonably available to any Holder, legal counsel to the Holders and one firm of accountants or other agents retained by the Holders (collectively, the “Inspectors”), and make such other accommodations as are reasonably necessary for the Inspectors, if any, to perform a due diligence review of the Company (such due diligence investigation to be at the cost of the Holders); provided, however, that all such information (“Confidential Information”) will be kept confidential and not utilized by the Inspectors except as contemplated herein and except as required by law or court order. The term Confidential Information also includes any information included in a draft Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement hereto provided to a Holder pursuant to Section 3(a). The term Confidential Information does not include information that (a) is already in possession of such other party (other than that which is subject to another confidentiality agreement unless obtained from a third party where the receiving party knows that the third party was subject to a confidentiality agreement), (b) becomes generally available to the public, or (c) becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company unless obtained from a third party where the receiving party knows that the third party was subject to a confidentiality agreement. Each Holder agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Confidential Information is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the information deemed confidential.

The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning any Holder is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to such Holder and allow such Holder, at the Holder’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.

    (n)            The Company covenants that it shall file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, but in no event longer than two (2) years; provided, however, the Company may delay any such filing but only pursuant to Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act, and the Company shall take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request (including without limitation, promptly obtaining any required legal opinions from Company counsel necessary to effect the sale of Registrable Securities under Rule 144 and paying the related fees and expenses of such counsel), all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

    4.           Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to the Registration Statement, other than fees and expenses of counsel of any other advisor retained by the Holders and discounts and commissions with respect to the sale of any Registrable Securities by the Holders. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made with the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading, and (B) in compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is reasonably requested by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the Subscription Amount paid by the Holder in the Purchase Agreement.

    (c)           Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that such failure shall have materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

- 9 -



        An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (2) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any matters related on a factual basis shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding affected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

        All reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, determined based upon the relative faults of the parties.

    (d)           Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or Section 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c), any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

- 10 -



    (e)            The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5(d), no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, except in the case of fraud by such Holder. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

- 11 -



    6.            Miscellaneous.

    (a)           Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

    (b)           No Piggyback on a Section 2(a) Registration Statement. Other than those securities (including securities issuable upon exercise of warrants) that (i) may be issued to Holders and/or the Placement Agent and/or its designee(s), and (ii) those securities set forth on Schedule 3.1(z) to the Purchase Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its security holders may include securities of the Company in a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof. Other than as disclosed on Schedule 3.1(z) to the Purchase Agreement, and except as noted in Section 2(d) above, no Person has any right to cause the Company to effect a registration under the Securities Act of any securities of the Company. Except with respect to the registration statement contemplated in Section 2(d) above, the Company shall not and will not file any other registration statement until sixty (60) days after the Effective Date without the written consent of the Placement Agent.

    (d)           Discontinued Disposition. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(c), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph.

    (e)           Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of at least 75% of the then outstanding Registrable Securities.

    (f)           Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (ii) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices and communications shall be delivered and addressed as set forth in the Purchase Agreement

- 12 -



    (g)           Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. Each Holder may assign their respective rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under the Purchase Agreement.

    (h)           Execution and Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof.

    (i)           Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably agree that any suit or proceeding arising directly and/or indirectly pursuant to or under this Agreement, shall be brought solely in a federal or state court located in the City, County and State of New York. By its execution hereof, the parties hereby covenant and irrevocably submit to the in personam jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the City, County and State of New York and agree that any process in any such action may be served upon any of them personally, or by certified mail or registered mail upon them or their agent, return receipt requested, with the same full force and effect as if personally served upon them in New York City. The parties hereto waive any claim that any such jurisdiction is not a convenient forum for any such suit or proceeding and any defense or lack of in personam jurisdiction with respect thereto. In the event of any such action or proceeding, the party prevailing therein shall be entitled to payment from the other party hereto of its reasonable counsel fees and disbursements.

    (j)           Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

    (k)           Severability.

It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

    (l)           Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

- 13 -



    (m)           Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser hereunder is several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser hereunder, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

    (n)           Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by any Holder to any transferee of all or any portion of Registrable Securities if: (a) such Holder agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company promptly after such assignment; (b) the Company is, promptly after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (i) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (ii) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; and (c)  at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (b) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein.

- 14 -



    (o)           Deferral Period. Upon (i) the occurrence of any event or the existence of any fact (a “Material Event”) as a result of which the Registration Statement shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any Prospectus shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (ii) the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development, public filing with the Commission or other similar event with respect to the Company that, in the reasonable discretion of the Company, makes it appropriate to suspend the availability of the Registration Statement and the related Prospectus, the Company shall (A) in the case of clause (i) above, as soon as possible prepare and file, if necessary pursuant to applicable law, a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document that would be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement and Prospectus so that such Registration Statement does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and such Prospectus does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit 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, not misleading, and, in the case of a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement, use its best efforts to cause it to be declared effective as soon as possible; and (B) give immediate written notice to the Holders that the availability of the Registration Statement is suspended (a “Deferral Notice”) and, upon receipt of any Deferral Notice, each Holder agrees not to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus provided for in clause (i) above, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the Prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such Prospectus. The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed (x) in the case of clause (i) above, as soon as possible, and (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, soon as, in the good faith judgment of the Company, such suspension is no longer appropriate (such period, during which the availability of the Registration Statement and any Prospectus is suspended being a “Deferral Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Deferral Period instituted pursuant to clause (i) or clause (ii) above shall last for a period of time in excess of thirty (30) days from the date of the Material Event or other occurrence or state of facts on account of which such Deferral Period is instituted unless the Commission imposes a greater period, and the Company shall institute no more than two (2) Deferral Periods in the aggregate pursuant to clause (ii) above in any consecutive twelve (12) month period, provided, however, that a Deferral Period deriving from a Material Event not initiated by the Company shall not be counted in the above two (2) Deferral Periods. The Company represents that it has no knowledge as of the date of this Agreement of any circumstance that would reasonably be expected at the time of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) to cause the Company to exercise its rights under this Section 6(o).

ANNEX A

Plan of Distribution

        The Selling Stockholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker/dealer solicits purchasers;

block trades in which the broker/dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

purchases by a broker/dealer as principal and resale by the broker/dealer for its account;

an exchange distribution in accordance with the Rules of the applicable exchange;

privately negotiated transactions;

settlement of short sales;

broker/dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

a combination of any such methods of sale; and

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

        The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

        Broker/dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers/dealers to participate in sales. Broker/dealers may receive commissions from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker/dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The Selling Stockholders do not expect these commissions to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.



        The Selling Stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Stockholders under this prospectus.

        The Selling Stockholders and any broker/dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker/dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders have informed the Company that it does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock.

        The Company is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE ORDINARY SHARES

(SUBJECT TO ADJUSTMENT)

(Void after March 31, 2009)

PPW —      

        THIS ORDINARY SHARE PURCHASE WARRANT CERTIFIES that, for value received, _____________ (the “Holder”), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after March 31, 2004 (the “Exercise Date”) and on or prior to the close of business on March 31, 2009 (the “Termination Date”), but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from NUR Macroprinters Ltd., an Israeli corporation (the “Company”), up to ____________ ordinary shares (the “Warrant Shares”), NIS 1.0 nominal value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”). The initial purchase price of one (1) share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $1.54 (the “Exercise Price”). The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is exercisable shall be subject to adjustment as provided elsewhere herein.

        Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof and between the Company and the Purchasers set forth on Schedule 1 thereto (the “Purchase Agreement”).

    1.           Title to Warrant. Prior to the Termination Date and subject to compliance with applicable laws and Section 7 of this Warrant, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, at the office or agency of the Company by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant together with the Assignment Form annexed hereto properly endorsed. The transferee shall sign an investment letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company.



    2.           Authorization of Shares. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant (assuming the payment of the Exercise Price by the Holder) will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue and liens and charges incurred by the Holder).

    3.           Exercise of Warrant

    (a)            Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made at any time or times on or after the Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by the surrender of this Warrant and the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto duly executed, at the office of the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company), and upon payment of the Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares (subject to Section 3(d) below), thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank or by means of a cashless exercise pursuant and subject to Section 3(d), if applicable, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares so purchased. Certificates for Warrant Shares purchased hereunder shall be delivered to the Holder within three (3) Trading Days after the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised as aforesaid. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been properly exercised by receipt by the Company of the Notice to Exercise and payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 5 have been paid.

    (b)            If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

2



    (c)            The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 3(a) or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates), as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, would beneficially own five 5% percent or greater of the number of shares of the Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such issuance. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 3(c), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Section 3(c), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Form 20-F or Form 6-F, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within three (3) Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The provisions of this Section 3(c) may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, and the provisions of this Section 3(c) shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver). The Holder is solely responsible for all calculations required in this Section 3(c).

    (d)            If, but only if, at the time of exercise of this Warrant (in whole or in part) at any time after the Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) there is no effective Registration Statement registering the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, this Warrant may also be exercised at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

  (A) = the Closing Price on the Trading Day preceding the date of such election;

  (B) = the Exercise Price of the Warrants, as adjusted; and

  (X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.

    4.           No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price.

3



    5.           Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder; and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

    6.           Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

    7.           Transfer, Division and Combination.

    (a)            Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 1 and Section 7(e) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. A Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

    (b)            This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 7(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice.

    (c)            The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense (other than transfer taxes) the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section 7.

    (d)            The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office, books for the registration and the registration of transfer of the Warrants.

    (e)            If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer (i) that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the Holder or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance acceptable to the Company and (iii) that the transferee be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act.

4



    8.           No Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof. Upon the surrender of this Warrant and the payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (or by means of a cashless exercise), the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be and be deemed to be issued to such Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the later of the date of such surrender or payment.

    9.           Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

    10.           Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in the State of New York, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in the State of New York.

    11.           Certain Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares. The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of any of the following. In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to holders of its outstanding Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Common Stock, then the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive had such Warrant been exercised in advance thereof. Upon each such adjustment of the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which are purchasable hereunder pursuant to this Section 11, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase the number of Warrant Shares or other securities resulting from such adjustment at an Exercise Price per Warrant Share or other security obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing by the number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company resulting from such adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event. No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made if the amount of said adjustment shall be less than 2 cents ($.02) per share of Common Stock, provided, however, that in such case any adjustment that would otherwise be required then to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment so carried forward, shall amount to at least 2 cents ($.02) per share of Common Stock.

    12.           Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets. In case the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital stock (other than as set forth in Section 11), consolidate or merge with or into another corporation (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to any class of common stock of the Company), or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its property, assets or business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation (“Other Property”), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. In case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company) and, if an entity different from the successor or acquiring corporation, the entity whose capital stock or assets the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive as a result of such transaction, shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 12. For purposes of this Section 12, “common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation” shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 12 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or disposition of assets.

    13.           Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or number or kind of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the number of Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the computation by which such adjustment was made.

6



    14.           Notice of Corporate Action. If at any time:

    (a)            the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or

    (b)            there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business of the Company to, another corporation or,

    (c)            there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;

then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to Holder (i) at least 10 days’ prior written notice of the date on which a record date shall be selected for such dividend, distribution or right or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 10 days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character thereof, and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Warrant Shares for securities or other property deliverable upon such disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Each such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed to Holder at the last address of Holder appearing on the books of the Company and delivered in accordance with Section 16(d). Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of such action, so long as such failure does not materially prejudice the rights of the Holders.

    15.           Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the principal Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed.

7



    (a)            Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c)     use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

    (b)            Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

    16.           Miscellaneous.

    (a)           Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably agree that any suit or proceeding arising directly and/or indirectly pursuant to or under this Warrant, shall be brought solely in a federal or state court located in the City, County and State of New York. By its execution hereof, the Company, and by its acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder, hereby covenant and irrevocably submit to the in personam jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the City, County and State of New York and agree that any process in any such action may be served upon any of them personally, or by certified mail or registered mail upon them or their agent, return receipt requested, with the same full force and effect as if personally served upon them in New York City. The parties hereto waive any claim that any such jurisdiction is not a convenient forum for any such suit or proceeding and any defense or lack of in personam jurisdiction with respect thereto. In the event of any such action or proceeding, the party prevailing therein shall be entitled to payment from the other party hereto of its reasonable counsel fees and disbursements.

    (b)           Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered for resale under the Securities Act, will have legends imprinted upon any stock certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares and the Company will notify its transfer agent of restrictions upon resale imposed by the applicable state and federal securities laws. The certificate or certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares shall bear a legend substantially similar to the following:

8



  THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT. ACCORDINGLY, SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT, OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT.

    (c)           Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date. If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

    (d)           Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement; provided, however, upon any permitted assignment of this Warrant, the assignee shall promptly provide the Company with its contact information.

    (e)           Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by Holder to exercise this Warrant or purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

    (f)           Remedies. Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

    (g)           Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by any such Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

    (h)           Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

9



    (i)           Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

    (j)           Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

Re:        NUR Macroprinters Ltd. – Registration Statement on Form F-3

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

        I have acted as counsel to NUR Macroprinters Ltd., an Israeli corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), of a registration statement on Form F-3 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the sale by certain selling securityholders (the “Selling Securityholders”) of up to (i) 4,919,473 issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company (the “Private Placement Shares”) issued by the Company to certain of the Selling Securityholders in connection with private placements, (ii) 1,259,042 ordinary shares of the Company (the “Private Placement Warrant Shares”) issuable upon exercise of warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) granted by the Company to certain of the Selling Securityholders in connection with private placements, (iii) 1,854,839 issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company (the “Convertible Loan Shares”) issued pursuant to the conversion of certain convertible loans (the “Convertible Loans”) issued by the Company to certain of the Selling Securityholders, (iv) 331,731 ordinary shares of the Company (the “Convertible Loan Warrant Shares”) issuable upon exercise of warrants (the “Convertible Loan Warrants”) granted by the Company to certain of the Selling Securityholders, (v) 129,310 ordinary shares of the Company (the “Placement Agent Warrant Shares”) issuable upon exercise of placement agent warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) granted by the Company to certain of the Selling Securityholders, and (vi) 1,340,000 ordinary shares of the Company (the “Banking Institution Warrant Shares”) issuable upon exercise of banking institutions warrants (the “Banking Institution Warrants”) granted by the Company to certain of the Selling Securityholders.

        I have reviewed the Company’s charter documents, and have examined originals and/or copies of the corporate proceedings taken by the Company in connection with the issuance and sale of the Private Placement Shares, Private Placement Warrants, Convertible Loan Shares, Convertible Loan Warrants, Placement Agent Warrants and Banking Institution Warrants, and such other corporate documents, records and certificates, and have made such investigations of law, as I have deemed necessary in order to render the opinion hereinafter set forth. Based on such review, I am of the opinion that:

    (i)        the Private Placement Shares and the Convertible Loan Shares have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; and

    (ii)        the Private Placement Warrant Shares, the Convertible Loan Warrant Shares, the Placement Agent Warrant Shares and the Banking Institution Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and, upon issuance and delivery against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreements related thereto, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.



        I consent to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to me under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus which is part of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, I do not thereby admit that I am within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act, the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder, or Item 509 of Regulation S-K. This opinion letter is rendered as of the date first written above and I disclaim any obligation to advise you of facts, circumstances, events or developments which hereafter may be brought to my attention and which may alter, affect or modify the opinion expressed herein. My opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above and I render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters relating to the Company or the Private Placement Shares, the Convertible Loan Shares, Private Placement Warrant Shares, the Convertible Loan Warrant Shares, the Placement Agent Warrant Shares and the Banking Institution Warrant Shares. In giving the opinion expressed herein, no opinion is expressed as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Israel.

Very truly yours,
