Other than as set forth on Exhibit 2(l), Camtek, and to Camtek’s knowledge, all third parties with whom it has transacted business under the Material Agreements have performed in all material respects all of their material obligations under the Material Agreements, except for such non performance that, both individually and in the aggregate would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Investors further represent that they have not entered into any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any other person providing for the sale or transfer of any of the Securities.
9
(e) Restricted Securities. Each Investor understands that the Securities have not been, and will not upon issuance be, registered under the U. S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and such Investor will not sell, offer to sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any of the Securities unless (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) such Investor provides Camtek with an opinion of counsel, in a form reasonably acceptable to Camtek, to the effect that a sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the Securities Act and the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or (iii) such Investor provides Camtek with reasonable assurances (in the form of seller and broker representation letters) that the Securities can be sold pursuant to (A) Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time (“Rule 144”) or (B) Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act, in each case following the applicable holding period set forth therein.
(f) Legends.
(i) Such Investor agrees that the certificates representing the Camtek shares shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (in addition to any legend required by applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws):
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED UNLESS (I) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT COVERING SUCH SECURITIES EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (II) THE TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND, IF THE COMPANY REQUESTS, AN OPINION SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY TO SUCH EFFECT HAS BEEN RENDERED BY COUNSEL.” |

“THIS DEBENTURE AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED UNLESS (I) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT COVERING SUCH SECURITIES IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (II) THE TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND, IF THE COMPANY REQUESTS, AN OPINION SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY TO SUCH EFFECT HAS BEEN RENDERED BY COUNSEL.” |

For the avoidance of doubt, a material amendment of the terms of the transactions listed in said Exhibit 4(b) shall also require the Investors’ prior written consent. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Affiliate” shall mean, any individual or any type of entity whether incorporated or not which, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is under common control with Camtek. The term “control” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Israeli Securities Law-1968.
14
(c) For so long as the Debentures have not been redeemed, repurchased, repaid or converted in full, unless Camtek receives the Investors’ prior written consent, the aggregate amount of loans granted or made available to Camtek and its subsidiaries (excluding the Loan granted by the Investors pursuant to this Agreement, other than existing loans and an aggregate amount of 5 million dollars out of bank’s credit lines approved and/or made available to Camtek as of the date hereof) shall not exceed US$15 million; provided, however, that such consent shall not be required with respect to loans which would not have caused Camtek not to meet the threshold described in Section 4(a)(A)(ii) above had financial statements been prepared in accordance with GAAP on the date following the receipt of such loan.
5. | THE DEBENTURES |
Description of the Debentures. Camtek will authorize the issue and delivery of the Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of US$5,000,000.
The term of the Debentures shall commence upon the Closing and shall terminate at the end of the fifth anniversary of the Closing. The Debentures shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into such number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares of Camtek as determined by dividing (x) the principal amount of the Debentures outstanding and to be converted at such time by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined below). Subject to the Default provisions set forth below, (i) the principal shall be repaid in three equal annual payments commencing at the end of the third anniversary of the Closing; provided, however, that prior to each payment date, the Investors, at their sole discretion, may elect, by giving an irrevocable written notice to Camtek, at least seven (7) Business Days prior to a payment date, to have any portion of the principal be deferred and repaid on the fifth anniversary of the Closing; (ii) the Debentures shall bear dollar denominated interest, payable quarterly, at a floating annual rate equal to the then applicable 3 months’ LIBOR plus 2.1%, in each case with such interest payment being supplemented by applicable value added tax; provided, however, that any interest accrued and unpaid on the date on which the conversion of the Debentures is effected shall become immediately payable on such date of conversion; and (iii) be otherwise substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 5(a). For the avoidance of doubt, the Debentures may not be prepaid without the Investors prior consent. Interest on each of the Debentures shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year. For the purposes of this Section 5, any payment due to be made on a day which is not a Business Day shall be deferred to the next Business Day.
6. | EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES THEREFOR |
(a) Events of Default. Any one or more of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” as the term is used herein:
(1) a default in the payment of interest on the Loan when due and such default shall continue for more than three Business Days; |
(2) a default in the payment of the principal at the expressed or any accelerated due date and such default shall continue for more than three Business Days; |
15
(3) a default in the payment when due of the principal of or interest on any Debt of Camtek to a bank or another financial institution or pursuant to which the creditor has a registered Security Interest over assets, having an unpaid principal amount in excess of US$ 300,000 (three hundred thousand USD) (whether by lapse of time, by declaration, by call for redemption or otherwise), and such default or event shall continue beyond the period of grace, if any, allowed with respect thereto; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 6(a)(3) shall not apply to legitimate disputes in the ordinary course of the business of Camtek; |
(4) a default in the observance or performance of the covenants set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement; |
(5) any representation or warranty made by Camtek under Section 2 hereto, is found to be untrue in any material respect as of the Closing Date and has a Material Adverse Effect on the date on which the Investors notify Camtek of the occurrence of an Event of Default, provided that the Investors shall have provided Camtek of such notification no later than within 30 days after they have learned of such untrue representation or warranty; |
(6) Camtek is generally not paying its debts (other than legitimate disputes in the ordinary course of business) as they become due or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or Camtek causes or suffers an order for relief being entered with respect to it under applicable bankruptcy law or applies for or consents to the appointment of a custodian, trustee or receiver for or over all the assets of Camtek or a substantial part thereof; |
(7) a custodian, liquidator, trustee or receiver is appointed for or over all of the assets of Camtek or substantially all of its assets and is not discharged within 90 days after such appointment; or |
(8) bankruptcy, arrangement or insolvency proceedings, or other proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy or similar law or laws for the relief of debtors, are instituted with respect to Camtek by or against Camtek and, if instituted against Camtek, are consented to or are not dismissed within 90 days after such institution. |
(b) Notice to the Investors. When any Event of Default described in Section 6(a) has occurred and becomes known to Camtek, Camtek shall give a written notice to the Investors within three Business Days of the day such event became known to Camtek.
(c) Acceleration of Maturities. When any Event of Default described in paragraphs (1) through (5), inclusive, of Section 6(a) has happened and is continuing and has not been cured within five (5) business days after receiving a written notice to such effect from the Investors (the “Cure Period”), the Investors may, by notice in writing sent to Camtek, declare the Debenture due and payable, provided, however that with respect to the Event of Default described in paragraph (5) the Investors may so declare the Debenture due and payable only 10 days after the delivery of a notice pursuant to said paragraph (5) above.
16
When any Event of Default described in paragraphs (6), (7), or (8) of Section 6(a) has occurred, then the Debentures shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived. Upon the Debentures becoming due and payable as a result of any Event of Default as aforesaid, Camtek will forthwith pay to the Investors all principal of and interest accrued on the Debentures, together with applicable value added tax. Such amounts shall be supplemented by additional interest accrued thereon at an annual rate of 5% from the date when the Event of Default has occurred and until the payment date. Neither any course of dealing on the part of the Investors nor any delay or failure on the part of the Investors to exercise any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Investors’ rights, powers and remedies. Camtek further agrees, to the extent permitted by law, to pay the Investors all reasonable expenses incurred by them in implementation of their rights, powers and remedies under this Section 6(c).
7. | CONVERSION |
(a) Right to Convert. Each Debenture shall be convertible, in whole or in part, at the option of the Investors, at any Business Day after the Closing Date, into such number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares of Camtek (the “Underlying Shares”) as determined by dividing (i) the principal amount of such Debenture outstanding and to be converted at such time by (ii) the Conversion Price. The initial Conversion Price per share shall be US$5.5 (the “Initial Conversion Price”); provided, however, that the Initial Conversion Price shall be subject to the adjustments more fully set forth herein (the Initial Conversion Price, as adjusted, shall be referred to as the “Conversion Price”). |
(b) Mechanism of Conversion. Before an Investor shall be entitled to convert any part of its Debenture into Underlying Shares it shall give an irrevocable written notice to Camtek at its registered office, of the election to convert the same, together with the presentment of the Debenture. Camtek shall, as soon as practicable thereafter but in any event by no later than ten (10) Business Days commencing on the date it received the notice of conversion and the Debenture pursuant to the provisions herein, issue and deliver to such Investor, in exchange for the Debenture in the Investor’s possession (i) a certificate or certificates for the number of Underlying Shares to which the Investor shall be entitled as aforesaid, and (ii) a new Debenture for the balance of the unconverted principal amount of the Loan. Subject to applicable laws, such conversion shall be deemed to have been made, in the relations between the converting Investor and Camtek, one Business Day following the date on which the Debenture was to be converted, and the Investor shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares as of such date. |
(c) Conversion Price Changes. |
(1) Camtek shall take all necessary actions to change the Conversion Price of the Debentures from time to time as follows: |
(i) In the event that the average closing price (the “First Average Closing Price”) of the shares of Camtek, as reported on Nasdaq for the sixty (60) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the first anniversary of the Closing (the “First Period”) is lower than the Conversion Price in effect on such date, the Conversion Price in effect on such date shall be reduced to equal the higher of the First Average Closing Price, and US$2.00. |
17
(ii) In the event that the average closing price (the “Second Average Closing Price”) of the shares of Camtek, as reported on Nasdaq for the sixty (60) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the second anniversary of the Closing (the “Second Period”) is lower than the Conversion Price in effect on such date, the Conversion Price in effect on such date shall be reduced to equal the higher of the higher of the Second Average Closing Price and US$2.00. |
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that Camtek is (a) acquired in its entirety or (b) is consolidated or merges with or into any third party in a transaction pursuant to which the shareholders of Camtek immediately prior to such transaction do not hold at least 51% of the shares of the surviving entity immediately following such transaction (each, an “Exit Transaction”), then if such Exit Transaction is consummated prior to the third anniversary of the Closing, at an effective price per Camtek share, which, when multiplied by 70% (the “ExitDiscounted PPS”), is lower than the Conversion Price in effect on such date, then the Conversion Price shall automatically be adjusted to equal the Exit Discounted PPS; provided, however, that if such Exit Discounted PPS is lower than $2.00, Camtek may issue shares upon conversion of the Debentures on the basis of a conversion price of $2.00 and pay the Investors, upon such conversion, an additional amount equal to the difference between (i) the value of the shares that would have been issued had the conversion price been equal to the Exit Discounted PPS and (ii) the value of the shares that were issued on the basis of the $2.00 conversion price. If such Exit Transaction is consummated following the third anniversary of the Closing, the same mechanism would apply; provided, however, that the “70%” number set forth above would be replaced by “65%" |
(iv) If Camtek shall subdivide or combine its Ordinary Shares, the Conversion Price in effect on such date shall be proportionately reduced, in case of subdivision of shares, as at the effective date of such subdivision, or if Camtek shall fix a record date for the purpose of so subdividing, as at such record date, whichever is earlier, or shall be proportionately increased, in the case of combination of shares, as at the effective date of such combination, or, if Camtek shall fix a record date for the purpose of so combining, as at such record date, whichever is earlier. |
(v) If Camtek at any time shall pay a dividend payable in additional Ordinary Shares or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional Ordinary Shares (hereinafter referred to as the “Ordinary Share Equivalent”), then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted, as at the date Camtek shall fix as the record date for the purpose of receiving such dividend (or if no such record date is fixed, as at the date of such payment), to that price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction,(a) the numerator of which shall be the total number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to such dividend (plus, in the event that Camtek paid cash for fractional shares, the number of additional shares which would have been outstanding had Camtek issued fractional shares in connection with such dividend), and (b) the denominator of which shall be the total number of Ordinary Shares outstanding including those issuable with respect to such Ordinary Share Equivalents. |
(2) If at any time prior to the conversion or repayment of the Debentures Camtek shall distribute a dividend in liquidation or partial liquidation or by way of return of capital, or a dividend payable out of earnings or surplus legally available for dividends, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the per-share distribution on the record date fixed for the purpose of such distribution. |
18
(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Investors shall receive an aggregate cash consideration in connection with any sale or other disposition of all of the Underlying Shares, in one transaction or disposition or a series or number of transactions or dispositions (whether related or not), and such aggregate consideration (i) exceeds two times the aggregate Conversion Price paid by the Investors to Camtek for such Underlying Shares, and (ii) reflects an IRR on the Loan of at least 33%, then the Investors shall, jointly and severally, pay Camtek, within 7 days after the last sale or disposition of Underlying Shares, an aggregate of 50 cents for each US$1.00 dollar received by them in excess of the higher of (i) and (ii) above. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, publicly traded securities received by the Investors as consideration for the sale or other disposition of Underlying Shares shall be deemed “cash consideration” as of the date on which all of such tradable securities may be freely sold by the Investors without any restrictions and where the volume of trade during the trading week starting on such date exceeds ten times the number of shares held by the Investors.
(d) No Impairment
Camtek shall act in good faith in the performance of this Agreement and as such will not, through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, intentionally avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by Camtek.
(e) No Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Changes
(1) No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of any Debenture, and the number of Underlying Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share (with cash being paid by Camtek for any unissued fractional shares). |
(2) Upon the occurrence of an event requiring an adjustment or change of the Conversion Price, Camtek shall, at its expense, furnish to the Investors, by no later than seven (7) Business Days following the occurance of such an event, a certificate setting forth each adjustment or change and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or change is based. |
(f) Notices of Record Date
In the event of any taking by Camtek of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (including a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, Camtek shall mail to the Investors a notice, which shall be sent simultaneously with the notice sent to other shareholders of Camtek, specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.
19
(g) Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion
Camtek shall at all times as long as all or any portion of the Debentures remains outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Debentures such number of its Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the full conversion of the Debentures; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares shall not be sufficient to effect such conversion, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the Investors by law, Camtek will take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
8. | RESTRICTIONS ON SALES. Each Investor represents, warrants and undertakes that such Investor nor any Affiliate of such Investor which (x) has or shares discretion relating to such Investor’s investments or trading or information concerning such Investor’s investments, including in respect of the Securities, or (y) is subject to such Investor’s review or input concerning such Affiliate’s investments or trading, will, directly or indirectly, during the ninety (90) consecutive trading day period immediately preceding the commencement of each of the First Period and the Second Period and throughout such periods engage in (i) any “short sales” (as such term is defined in Rule 3b-3 promulgated under the US Exchange Act) of the Camtek shares, including, without limitation, the maintaining of any short position with respect to, establishing or maintaining a “put equivalent position” (within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(h) under the US Exchange Act) with respect to, entering into any swap, derivative transaction or other arrangement (whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Camtek shares, other securities, cash or other consideration) that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any economic consequences or ownership, or otherwise dispose of, any of the Securities by the Investor or (ii) any hedging transaction which establishes a net short position with respect to the Securities (clauses (i) and (ii) together, a “Short Sale”); except for Short Sales by the Investor or an Affiliate of such Investor to the extent that such Investor or Affiliate of such Investor is acting in the capacity of a broker-dealer executing unsolicited third-party transactions. |

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Investors may assign or otherwise transfer their rights under this Agreement only together with the relative portion of the Debentures corresponding to the assigned and transferred rights: (i) to a Permitted Transferee, as defined below, provided that such assignment or transfer made to entities and/or persons included in clauses (i) to (iii) of such definition, shall be permitted only if made in the framework of a distribution of assets to partners and shareholders of the transferor; or (ii) to such entity or person approved by Camtek in writing and in advance (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld).

Except as otherwise expressly limited herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Investors and Camtek and their successors.
For the purpose of this Section 9(h), a “Permitted Transferee” shall mean with respect to each Investor (i) its partners, (ii) the shareholders of such partners, (iii) any entity controlled by, controlling, or under common control with, either such Transferor or FIMI 2001 Ltd., or (iv) any other Investor.
