NUR Macroprinters Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of
Israel, registered under number 52-003986-8, with offices at 12 Abba Hilel
Silver Street, Lod, Israel (the "Company"); and
Bank Leumi le-Israel Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of
Israel, registered under number________, with offices at _________ (the

RECITALS:
WHEREAS the Company has issued to the Holder a certain Warrant dated
February 12, 2002, (the "Warrant") to purchase a 50,000 Ordinary Shares of the
Company, par value NIS 1.00 per share (the "Warrant Shares"); and
WHEREAS the Company hereby undertakes to register the Warrant Shares
underlying the Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the parties agree as follows:
1. Definitions.
Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms shall
have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Warrant Agreement (as defined below).
As used herein, the following terms have the following meaning:
"Commission" refers to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
"Effective Date" shall have the meaning as set forth in the
Warrant Agreement.
"Register", "registered", and "registration" refer to a
registration effected by filing a registration statement in compliance with the
Securities Act and the declaration or ordering by the Commission of
effectiveness of such registration statement, or the equivalent actions under
the laws of another jurisdiction.
"Registrable Shares" means the Company's Ordinary Shares
issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant .
"Securities Act" shall mean the U.S. Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, or any similar federal statute, and the rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder, all as the same shall be in effect at the time.
2. Piggyback Registration. If the Company at any time following the
Effective Date, proposes to register any of its securities (other than a
registration statement on Form S-8 or any successor form for securities to be
offered to employees of the Company pursuant to any employee benefit plan or a
registration statement on form F-4 or any other successor form), for its own
account or for the account of any other person, it shall give notice to the
Holder of such intention. Upon the written request of the Holder given within
twenty (20) days after receipt of any such notice, the Company shall include in
such registration all of the Registrable Shares indicated in such request, so as
to permit the disposition of the shares so registered in the manner requested by
the Holder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2, with respect
to an underwritten initial public offering by the Company, if the managing
underwriter advises the Company in writing that marketing or other factors
require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then there
shall be excluded from such registration and underwriting to the extent
necessary to satisfy such limitation, shares held by the Holder and by other
shareholders of the Company who are entitled to have their shares included in
such registration, pro rata among them to the extent necessary to satisfy such
limitation. To the extent Registrable Shares are excluded from such
underwriting, the Holder shall agree not to sell its Registrable Shares included
in the registration statement for such period, not to exceed 180 days, as may be
required by the managing underwriter, and the Company shall keep effective and
current such registration statement for such period as may be required to enable
the Holder to complete the distribution and resale of its Registrable Shares.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2, the Company shall have the
right at any time after it shall have given notice to the Holder, to elect not
to file any such proposed registration statement.
3. Termination of Registration Rights
3.1 The Holder shall not be entitled to exercise any right
provided for in Section 2, after four years following the date of the closing of
the Warrant Agreement.
3.2 In addition, the right of the Holder to request
registration pursuant to Sections 2 shall terminate upon such date that all
Registrable Shares held or entitled to be held upon conversion by the Holder may
be sold without volume limitations under Rule 144 (or any successor rule).
4. Designation of Underwriter.
In the case of any registration initiated by the Company, the
Company shall have the right to designate the managing underwriter in any
underwritten offering.
2
5. Expenses. All expenses incurred in connection with any registration
under Section 2 shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that the
Holder shall pay its pro rata portion of the discounts payable to any
underwriter.
6. Indemnities. In the event of any registered offering of Ordinary
Shares pursuant to this Agreement:
6.1 The Company will indemnify and hold harmless, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, the Holder, the officers and directors of the
Holder and any underwriter for the Holder, and each person, if any, who controls
the Holder or such underwriter, from and against any and all losses, damages,
claims, liabilities, joint or several, costs, and expenses (including any
amounts paid in any settlement effected with the Company's consent) to which the
Holder or any such officers and directors of the Holder, underwriter or
controlling person may become subject under applicable law or otherwise, insofar
as such losses, damages, claims, liabilities (or actions or proceedings in
respect thereof), costs, or expenses arise out of are based upon (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the
registration statement or included in the prospectus, as amended or
supplemented, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be started therein or necessary to make the statement
therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they are made, not
misleading, and the Company will reimburse the Holder, such officers and
directors of the Holder, such underwriter, and each such controlling person of
the Holder or the underwriter, promptly upon demand, for any reasonable legal or
any other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating, preparing
to defend, or defending against, or appearing as a third-party witness in
connection with such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, or proceeding;
provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the
extent that any such loss, damage, liability, cost, or expense arises solely out
of or is based solely upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or
omission or alleged omission, so made in conformity with information furnished
to the Company in writing by the Holder, such underwriter, or such controlling
persons in writing specifically for inclusion therein; provided, further, that
this indemnity shall not be deemed to relieve any underwriter of any of its due
diligence obligations; and provided, further, that the indemnity agreement
contained in this Sub-Section 6.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement
of any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is
effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holder, the officers
and directors of the Holder, the underwriter, or any controlling person of the
Holder or the underwriter, and regardless of any sale in connection with such
offering by the Holder. Such indemnity shall survive the transfer of securities
by a Holder.
6.2 The Holder participating in a registration hereunder will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the officers and directors of the
Company, any underwriter for the Company, and each person, if any, who controls
the Company or such underwriter, from and against any and all losses, damages,
claims, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including any amount paid in any
settlement effected with the Holder's consent) to which the Company, the
officers and directors of the Company or any such controlling person and/or any
such underwriter may become subject under applicable law or otherwise, insofar
as such losses, damages,
3
claims, liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), costs, or
expense arise out of or are based on (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement
of any material fact contained in the registration statement or included in the
prospectus, as amended or supplemented, or (ii) the omission or the alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in
which they were made, not misleading, and the Holder will reimburse the Company,
the officers and directors of the Company, any underwriter, and each such
controlling person of the Company or any underwriter, promptly upon demand, for
any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with
investigating, preparing to defend, or defending against, or appearing as a
third-party witness in connection with such loss, claim, damage, action, or
proceeding; in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was so
made in strict conformity with written information furnished in a certificate by
the Holder specifically for inclusion therein. The foregoing indemnity agreement
is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates to any such untrue
statement (or alleged untrue statement), or omission (or alleged omission) made
in the preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the amended
prospectus at the time the registration statement becomes effective in the final
prospectus, such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of (i) the
Company and (ii) any underwriter, if a copy of the final prospectus was not
furnished to the person or entity asserting the loss, liability, claim, or
damage at or prior to the time such furnishing is required by the Security Act;
provided, further, that this indemnity shall not be deemed to relieve any
underwriter of any of its due diligence obligations; provided, further, that the
indemnity agreement contained in this Sub-Section 6.2 shall not apply to amounts
paid in settlement of any such claim loss, damage, liability, or action if such
settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, as the case may be,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In no event shall the
liability of the Holder exceed the gross proceeds from the offering received by
the Holder.
6.3 Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party pursuant to
the provisions of Section 6.1 or 6.2 of notice of the commencement of any action
involving the subject matter of the foregoing indemnity provisions, such
indemnified party will, if a claim thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions of said Section 6.1 or 6.2,
promptly notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the
omission to notify the indemnifying party shall only relieve it from any
liability which it may have to any indemnified party to the extent that such
indemnifying party has been damaged by such omission to notify hereunder. In
case such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall
have the right to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly
with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense
thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party;
provided, however, that if the defendants in any action include both the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party and if in the reasonable judgment
of the indemnified party there are separate defenses that are available to the
indemnified party or there is a conflict of interest which would prevent counsel
for the indemnifying party from also representing the indemnified party, the
indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select, at the expense of
the indemnifying party, separate counsel to participate in the defense of such
action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties; provided, further,
however,
4
that if the Holder are the indemnified party, the Holder shall be entitled to
one separate counsel at the expense of the Company and if underwriters are also
indemnified parties who are entitled to counsel separate from the indemnifying
party, then all underwriters as a group shall be entitled to one separate
counsel at the expense of the Company. After notice from the indemnifying party
to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the
indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party pursuant to the
provisions of said Section 6.1 or 6.2 for any legal or other expense
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed counsel in
accordance with the provision of the preceding sentence, (ii) the indemnifying
party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after the
notice of the commencement of the action and within 15 days after written notice
of the indemnified party's intention to employ separate counsel pursuant to the
previous sentence, or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment
of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party.
No indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by
the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all
liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
6.4 If recovery is not available under the foregoing
indemnification provisions, for any reason other than as specified therein, the
parties entitled to indemnification by the terms thereof shall be entitled to
contribution to liabilities and expenses. In determining the amount of
contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, there shall be
considered the parties' relative knowledge and access to information concerning
the matter with respect to which was asserted, the opportunity to correct and
prevent any statement or omission, and any other equitable consideration
appropriate under the circumstances. In no event shall any party that is found
liable for fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 1(f) of
the Securities Act be entitled to contribution hereunder from any party not
found so liable, and in no event shall any contribution from the Holder be more
than the gross proceeds that it receives from the offering .
7. Conditions to Registration. The Company shall not be obligated to
effect the registration of the Registrable Shares pursuant to this Agreement
unless the Holder participating therein consents to customary conditions of a
reasonable nature that are imposed by the Company, including, but no limited to,
the following:
(a) conditions prohibiting the sale of Registrable Shares by
the Holder from 30 days before the filing of the registration statement until
the registration statement becomes effective;
(b) conditions requiring the Holder to comply with all
applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the United States Securities

limited to, the prospectus delivery requirements, and to furnish to the Company
information about sales made in such public offering; and
5

notice from the Company that it is required by law to correct or update the
registration statement or prospectus, from effecting sales of the Registrable
Shares until the Company has completed the necessary correction or updating.
8. Lock-Up. In any registration of the Company's shares, the Holder
acknowledges that any sales of Registrable Shares may be subject to a "lock-up"
period restricting such sales beginning thirty (30) days prior to, and for up to
one hundred and eighty (180) days following, the effective date of such
registration, and the Holder will agree to abide by such customary "lock-up"
period as is required by the underwriter in such registration.

underwritten offering pursuant to a registration filed hereunder unless the
Holder (a) agrees to sell it's securities on the basis provided in any customary

changes in the Registrable Shares by way of stock split, stock dividend,
combination or reclassification, or through merger, consolidation,
reorganization or recapitalization, or by any other means, appropriate
adjustment shall be made in the
6
provisions of this Agreement, as may be required, so that the rights and
privileges granted hereby shall continue with respect to the Registrable Shares
as so changed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company
