                or otherwise provide, pro-rata, the Additional Working Capital; provided

                Founding
                Shareholder pursuant to the above shall exceed $750,000 in the aggregate,

                Shareholder and only if such other Founding Shareholder has not agreed
                within 20 business days of such notice, by written notice, to make

                The Parties acknowledge that the JV will require the services of
                qualified
                employees to conduct its business. The Parties currently anticipate
                that
                between 15 to 20 research and development (“R&D”)
                personnel with appropriate skills will be required immediately to
                continue
                supporting the JV Existing Products and to form a development team
                for the
                JV Development Products and JV Future Products. Such number of R&D
                personnel does not include employees who may be transferred directly
                or
                indirectly from Electronic Imaging Technologies Co. Ltd. (“EIT”)

                existing products. Accordingly, immediately after the Closing, the
                Parties
                shall jointly determine: (a) the R&D employees of each Founding
                Shareholder (the “Designated

                to be transferred to the JV (in the manner described below) which

                salary, employment period and other terms of employment (including
                undertakings of confidentiality and non-competition) of each Designated
                Employee. Designated Employees who are officers and key employees
                shall be

                of the

                best
                interests, develop, promote and support formats and software interfaces,

                design and manufacturing), interfaces to archiving systems and interfaces
                to AOI systems, plotters and direct imaging and electrical testing
                products of other entities, including interfaces to products which

                of any
                such developments.

                may request the JV to allocate up to 10% (in equal parts between
                them (5%
                each)) of the JV’s research and development resources for development of

              Conditions

                The Board shall determine performance criteria for all of the JV’s sales
                and customer support agents, such as defined annual revenue, annual
                market
                share, maintaining of captive accounts using JV Products, etc. The
                Board
                may, in accordance with the best interests of the JV, replace any
                agent
                which shall not meet the defined performance criteria, with another

                a third party distributor, agent or VAR (Value Added Reseller), etc.
                or an
                independent sales department within the JV Entity. The replacement
                of any
                Founding Shareholder’s subsidiary pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be
                without charge and the Founding Shareholder shall cause its subsidiary
                to
                give its consent to such replacement. Such Founding Shareholder shall
                indemnify the other Founding Shareholder and the JV from and against
                any
                claims made by any of its subsidiaries in this
                respect.

                Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.1, the JV may, according
                to
                its best interests, sell the software interfaces described in Section
                6.4
                hereof on an OEM basis provided
                that
                the JV shall in all events give prior written notice to the Founding
                Shareholders of all such arrangements such that a Founding Shareholder
                may
                have the opportunity to request that such agreement be approved by
                the

              However,

                itself

                It is the expectation of the Parties that by the year 2001 Valor’s PCB
                Design and PCB Assembly businesses shall develop to a level such
                that
                Valor, in its discretion, may cease the business of marketing the

                customer support agreements with Valor’s subsidiaries without charge to

      whereby such subsidiaries shall serve as the JV’s exclusive worldwide sales
      and
      customer support agents, subject to the provisions of Section 7.2 hereof. For
      the removal of doubt, it is hereby clarified that the provisions of this Section
      7.5 are not intended to create a binding obligation upon Valor to cease the
      marketing of the JV Products but are meant to serve as a general declaration

                to terminate such inconsistent agreements as soon as possible (taking
                into
                account any active negotiations), at the JV’s expense, by making

      meeting shall automatically be postponed 3 days to the same time and place
      (or

                and
                voting at a meeting of the Board at which a quorum is present, and

                number
                of Directors as aforesaid. However, at any time after the first (1st)
                anniversary of the Closing provided that the holdings of the Founding
                Shareholders (together with the holdings of their respective Permitted

                entitled to request the appointment of an additional, independent,
                Director in the event it believes that the proper functioning of
                the Board
                requires such appointment. Any such request shall be made in writing.
                In
                the event the other Founding Shareholder agrees with such request
                then a
                fifth member of the Board (the “Independent
                Director”)
                will be appointed by both of the Founding Shareholders acting jointly.
                In
                the event the other Founding Shareholder disagrees it shall so notify
                the
                requesting Founding Shareholder in writing within seven (7) days
                of
                receipt of the request and the Founding Shareholders shall meet to
                discuss
                the matter. In the event that the requesting Founding Shareholder
                has not
                withdrawn such request in writing within thirty (30) days of such
                request,
                then the Independent Director will be appointed effective as of the
                termination of such thirty day period. The making of any request
                and/or
                the withdrawal of any such request by a Founding Shareholder shall
                not
                preclude such Founding Shareholder (or the other Founding Shareholder)
                from making any further or subsequent request. A person recommended
                by the
                requesting Founding Shareholder and reasonably acceptable to the
                other
                Founding Shareholder shall
                serve as the Independent Director. Any
                Independent Director appointed may be removed at any time by the
                Founding
                Shareholders, acting jointly, and another may be appointed in his

                If any Party becomes aware of any product or activity of any third
                party
                that involves infringement or violation of the IP Rights or the IP
                Developments, it shall promptly notify the other Parties of such
                infringement or violation. The restraining or enjoining of any
                infringement or violation of any IP Rights or IP Developments shall
                be the
                sole responsibility and expense of the JV (and any amounts awarded
                by way
                of judgment, settlement, or compromise shall be paid to the JV),
                and the
                JV shall promptly take all such actions as the Board shall determine
                to
                protect such rights. However, in
                the event that the JV decides not to pursue or defend an action relating
                to such intellectual property, either of the Founding Shareholders
                shall
                have the right to pursue or defend such action at its own cost in
                order to
                protect such rights for itself or the JV and, unless the JV’s
                determination not to protect such rights derives only from such Founding
                Shareholder’s vote or the vote of the directors nominated by such Founding
                Shareholder, any amounts awarded by way of judgment, settlement or
                compromise shall be paid to such Founding Shareholder. The Founding
                Shareholders and the JV shall provide all reasonable cooperation
                in any
                action hereunder.

                Orbotech represents that the
                research and development of the IP Rights (with respect to both JV
                Existing Products and JV Development Products) to be made available
                by
                Orbotech were funded through the Office of the Chief Scientist at
                the
                Ministry of Industry and Trade of the State of Israel (the “OCS”)
                and that the products and intellectual property of EIT which will
                be made
                available to the JV pursuant to Section 11.4 below were also funded
                by the
                OCS. Valor represents that none of the IP Rights made available by
                Valor
                were so funded. Accordingly, the availability and use of such IP
                Rights
                and other rights shall be subject to the approval of the OCS and
                the terms
                and conditions thereof and of the Law for the Encouragement of Industrial
                Research and Development, 5744-1984 and the Regulations promulgated
                thereunder. Orbotech shall apply to the OCS for its approval to the
                transactions contemplated herein, and the Parties shall cooperate
                as may
                reasonably be required with respect thereto. The receipt of the approval
                of the OCS in form and substance satisfactory to the Founding Shareholders
                shall be a condition to Closing. Subject to the Closing, the JV shall
                pay
                all royalties due to the OCS with respect to the JV Products with
                respect
                to the period subsequent to the Closing and shall indemnify the other
                Parties against any failure by the JV to pay such
                royalties.

              Non-Competition

                shall
                not, anywhere in the world, engage either “directly or indirectly” (as
                defined in Section 11.5 below), in any activity which is one of the

                Activities or one of the activities approved pursuant to Section
                11.2
                below: for (a) a period which shall commence upon the Closing and

                continue for the period that such Founding Shareholder and/or its
                Permitted Transferees shall hold an interest in the JV (the “Founding

                and (b) an additional period equal to the Founding Shareholder Holding
                Period provided that such additional period shall not be more than
                thirty-six (36) months or less than eighteen (18) months (the Founding

                Permitted Transferees hold interests in the JV, none of the JV Entities
                shall engage, anywhere in the world, directly or indirectly in any

                of both
                Founding Shareholders. Thereafter, the JV will not compete with any
                of the

                alleged breach or default of this Agreement, any question of

                in
                good faith to settle the matter amicably. If the disputing Parties
                are
                unable to settle such matter within 3 days after either Party has
                given
                the other written notice of the dispute, either disputing Party may
                initiate the arbitration procedure set forth below by notice in writing
                to
                the other Party (the “Dispute
                Notice”).
                The Dispute Notice shall set forth the subject matter of the dispute,
                the
                notifying Party’s proposed resolution of the dispute and, to the best of

                the
                Parties in dispute shall appoint a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”)
                to finally resolve issues hereunder. The Arbitrator shall resolve
                disputes

                frame as

                law

                and

                with substantive law and shall be required to give reasons for his
                decision. The decision of the Arbitrator shall legally bind the disputing
                Parties and may be enforced by a court of competent jurisdiction.
                The
                arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in

              Severability.
                Should any term or provision of this Agreement be or become invalid
                or
                unenforceable or should this Agreement contain an omission, the validity
                or enforceability of the remaining terms or provisions shall not
                be
                affected. In such case, subject to the next following sentence, the
                Parties shall immediately commence to negotiate in good faith in
                order to
                replace the invalid or unenforceable term or provision by such other
                valid
                or enforceable term or provision which comes as close as possible
                to the
                original intent and effect of the invalid or unenforceable term or
                provision, or respectively, to fill the omission by inserting such
                term or
                provision which the parties would have reasonably agreed to, if they
                had
                considered the omission at the date hereof. In the event that any
                term or
                provision as aforesaid is invalid, void or unenforceable by reason
                of its
                scope, duration or area of applicability or some similar limitation
                as
                aforesaid, then the court making such determination shall have the
                power
                to reduce the scope, duration, area or applicability of the term
                or
                provision so that they shall be enforceable to the maximum scope,

      provision with a term or provision that comes closest to expressing the

      the
      Parties would have entered into this Agreement as so amended.

                failure to exercise any right available to a Party pursuant to this

                of

          period
(or,
          in
          case of violations which may not be cured within 90 days, if the defaulting
          Party shall
          not
          within such 90 day period undertake to cure such violation and to complete
          such
          cure within an additional 90 days).

                  Severability.
                    Should
                    any term or provision of this Agreement be or become invalid
                    or unenforceable or should this Agreement contain an omission,

                    not be
                    affected.
                    In such case, subject to the next following sentence, the Parties
                    shall

                    commence to negotiate in good faith in order to replace the invalid

                    term

                    intent and
                    effect of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, or
                    respectively,
                    to fill the omission by inserting such term or provision which
                    the parties
                    would have reasonably
                    agreed to, if they had considered the omission at the date hereof.
                    In the
                    event that any term or provision as aforesaid is invalid, void

                    some similar
                    limitation as aforesaid, then the court making such determination

                    or
                    provision so that they shall be enforceable to the maximum scope,
                    duration, area
                    or applicability permitted by applicable law which shall not
                    exceed those
                    specified
                    in this Agreement or to replace such term or provision with a
                    term or
                    provision
                    that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid
                    or
                    unenforceable
                    term or provision, provided that the Parties would have entered
                    into
                    this Agreement as so amended.

include

                        an individual
                        to be his alternate Director and may remove such alternate

                        appoint
                        another in his or her place. Such alternate Director shall

                        rights and powers
                        in respect of participation in the meetings of the Board,

                        signature etc. as

                        to be an alternate
                        Director if his appointor ceases to be a Director or if one

                        addition to his own vote, if he himself is a Director -
                        a number of votes equal to the number of Directors for whom
                        he acts as
                        substitute,
                        and shall be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum
                        as the number
                        of
                        Directors for whom he acts as substitute, provided however,

                        this power
                        may attend or vote at the same meeting. A substitute Director
                        shall alone
                        be responsible for his actions
                        and omissions, and shall not be deemed an agent of the Director(s)

                        purpose to
                        which the profits of the Company may be properly applied
                        and pending such
                        application may also at such discretion either be employed

                        shares in
                        respect of which
                        they were distributed, unless the general meeting has decided

                        difficulty arising

        YAVNE,
          ISRAEL - August XX 1998 - ORBOTECH, LTD. (NASDAQ/NM SYMBOL:
          ORBKF) AND VALOR Computerized Systems LTD. today announced the
          signature of an agreement to form a Joint Venture with respect to CAM
(Computer

          presence of both companies, will allow us to support the PCB industry with
          the
          best
          solutions available for its pre-production engineering and CAM needs. The
          Joint
          Venture will offer these solutions combined with the advantages of seamless
          integration with Orbotech’s AOI, Imaging and other products. At the same time it
will
          promote and support an open system and open format approach for the benefit
          of

              soon
              as practicable hereafter, agreements will be signed between Frontline
              and each
              Agent (an “Agent
              Agreement”)
              which
              will provide, inter alia, for the following matters:

                      Employees.
                      Each Agent shall retain employees who will be solely engaged
                      in the sales,
                      marketing, servicing, support or maintenance of the JV Products
                      (the
                      “Agent
                      Employees”).
                      The initial number and titles of Agent Employees for a particular
                      calendar
                      year (defined as 1 January - 31 December) shall be set forth
                      in a Budget
                      (as defined below), and are subject to change, from time to
                      time, in

                      shall they be deemed to be, an employer of the Agent Employees,

                      Agent shall bear sole and exclusive responsibility in connection
                      with the
                      Agent Employees including but not limited to the salaries,

          the

            immediately indemnify and hold Frontline and the Company harmless for
            any and
            all claims and/or demands addressed or lodged against Frontline and/or
            the
            Company in connection with the employer-employee relationship between
            such Agent
            and its Agent Employees or the alleged existence of any such employer-employee
            relationship between the Agent Employees and Frontline and/or the Company.
            For
            the avoidance of doubt, the above does not derogate from Frontline’s obligations
            pursuant to Section 4 below to participate in certain severance payments,
            all as
            provided for in Section 4 below.

                      or maintenance
                      of the JV Products during any calendar quarter (the “Agent
                      Services”)
                      actually received by each Agent (excluding income in connection
                      with
                      automation services which are provided to Agents by third parties)
                      shall
                      be held in trust by the Agent in favor of Frontline and shall
                      be paid by
                      the same Agent to Frontline within thirty (30) days after the
                      end of such
                      calendar quarter. For the sake of clarification, no income
                      (commission or
                      fee etc.) may be retained, withheld or set-off by the Agent
                      from payments
                      to Frontline as aforesaid other than against any Fixed Costs
                      or Variable
                      Costs (as defined below) then due and payable, if any, from
                      Frontline to

                      other charges
                      with respect to such payments actually made to Frontline and
                      the Agent may
                      withhold any taxes or charges required to be withheld by applicable
                      law.

                    Reports.
                      Each Agent shall furnish reports to Frontline upon the latter’s request
                      and at least once every calendar quarter, detailing the sales
                      of JV
                      Products during the previous calendar quarter including at

                      selling
                      price, price net of warranty, warranty period, PO date and
                      revenue date,
                      and any problems encountered by the Agent in collecting delinquent

                      the date of
                      each Agent Service. Frontline will be entitled to send a representative
                      reasonably acceptable to the Agent to examine the Agent’s records insofar
                      as they pertain to Agent Services, to determine, with respect
                      to any
                      calendar year, the accuracy of any report or payment made under
                      the
                      applicable Agent Agreement. Such audit may be conducted from

                      of
                      Frontline with reasonable assistance in carrying out any such
                      examination.

                      Frontline and the PCB division of Orbotech will agree annually,
                      as part of
                      the Budget for each year, as to the cost of each Agent Employee,
                      on a
                      territory-by-territory basis, according to the specified job
                      title held by
                      him/her (the “Agent
                      Employee Cost Schedule”).
                      The Agent Employee Cost Schedule will be reviewed and revised
                      (and updated
                      as necessary) concurrently with the approval of the annual
                      Budget pursuant

                    Increase
                      in number of Agent Employees at the request of Frontline.
                      Subject to Sections 4.3 and 4.6 below, Frontline may, from
                      time to time,
                      request in writing that an Agent employ further Agent Employees
                      (a
                      “Hiring
                      Notice”).
                      The Hiring Notice shall state the number of additional employees
                      requested
                      to be employed, their positions, and any other requirements
                      of Frontline
                      with respect thereto. The Agent shall use reasonable commercial
                      efforts to
                      locate and employ such additional Agent Employees as soon as
                      practicable
                      subject to obtaining Frontline’s approval as to the identity of any such
                      employees. Commencing upon the first day of employment of such
                      additional
                      Agent Employees, the Variable Costs of the relevant Agent shall
                      be
                      increased by, and include (and Frontline shall accordingly
                      thereafter pay,
                      as provided in Section 3.3 above) the amount set forth in the
                      Agent
                      Employee Cost Schedule according to the position held by such
                      employees
                      (“Budget
                      Increase”).
                      In the event the relevant Agent Employee Cost Schedule does
                      not provide
                      for an employee of such title, Frontline and the relevant Agent
                      shall
                      agree upon the cost of such employee and amend the Agent Employee
                      Cost
                      Schedule accordingly.

                      retained to provide Agent Services (a “Dismissal
                      Notice”).
                      The Dismissal Notice shall set forth the number and position
                      of the
                      employees and the requested date of their cessation of provision
                      of Agent
                      Services. Frontline shall be entitled to request the cessation
                      of
                      provision of Agent Services by any specific employee (in which
                      case, if
                      requested by the Agent, Frontline will explain the reasons
                      for the request
                      and the parties will discuss the request, it being understood
                      and agreed
                      that the Agent will determine whether or not to accept the

                    Decrease
                      in number of Agent Employees at the request of the Agent.
                      The Agent may, upon at least one months’ prior notice and with the written
                      authorization of the PCB division of Orbotech, notify Frontline
                      of its
                      intention to dismiss Agent Employees (“Agent
                      Dismissal Notice”).
                      The Agent Dismissal Notice shall detail the name, number and
                      position of
                      the employees to be dismissed, the anticipated date of termination
                      of
                      employment and the reason for dismissal. The Variable Costs
                      of such Agent
                      shall be reduced by the amount set forth in the relevant Agent
                      Employee
                      Cost Schedule for the employee(s), beginning as of the day
                      following the
                      actual date of termination of employment of such Agent Employee(s).
                      Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Agent may terminate an Agent
                      Employee’s
                      employment immediately, without prior notice or PCB division
                      approval, in
                      the event that the Agent Employee’s employment is terminated for “cause”,
                      as customarily defined. In such event, the Agent shall notify
                      Frontline
                      promptly and in writing of such dismissal and the circumstances
                      thereof.

                      Agent
                      Employees, or are payable to such Agent Employees in accordance
                      with the
                      Agent’s customary practice, in connection with their termination
                      of
                      employment, and unless Frontline expressly objects to the dismissal
                      of
                      such Agent Employee (and provides a reasonable justification
                      to the Agent
                      for such objection), Frontline shall pay the Agent the Frontline

                  immediately
                  commence to negotiate in good faith in order to replace the invalid
                  or unenforceable term or provision by such other valid or enforceable
                  term
                  or provision which comes as close as possible to the original intent
                  and
                  effect of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, or respectively,
                  to fill the omission by inserting such term or provision which
                  the parties
                  would have reasonably
                  agreed to, if they had considered the omission at the date hereof.
                  In the
                  event that any term or provision as aforesaid is invalid, void
                  or
                  unenforceable
                  by reason of its scope, duration or area of applicability or some
                  similar
                  limitation as aforesaid, then the court making such determination
                  shall
                  have
                  the power to reduce the scope, duration, area or applicability
                  of the term
                  or
                  provision so that they shall be enforceable to the maximum scope,
                  duration, area
                  or applicability permitted by applicable law which shall not exceed
                  those
                  specified
                  in this Agreement or to replace such term or provision with a term
                  or
                  provision
                  that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or
                  unenforceable
                  term or provision, provided that the Parties would have entered
                  into
                  this Agreement as so amended.
