                                     [LOGO]

    This is an initial public offering of units by ImageWare Systems, Inc. Each
unit consists of one share of common stock and one redeemable public warrant to
purchase one share of common stock. We expect that the initial public offering
price will be between $8 and $10 per unit. Prior to this offering, there has
been no public market for our securities. We have filed an application to list
the units, the common stock and the public warrants on The Nasdaq SmallCap
Market under the symbols "IWSIU," "IWSI" and "IWSIW."

    The common stock and warrants will trade only as a unit for at least
30 days following this offering. The representative of the underwriters will
then determine when the units separate, after which the common stock and the
public warrants will trade separately.

    INVESTING IN THESE UNITS INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISKS. SEE "RISK FACTORS"

    HISTORICAL INFORMATION REGARDING OUR SECURITIES HAS BEEN ADJUSTED TO REFLECT
A 5.275-TO-1 REVERSE STOCK SPLIT EFFECTED ON NOVEMBER 29, 1999. EXCEPT AS
OTHERWISE INDICATED, ALL INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS ASSUMES NO EXERCISE OF

                                  OUR COMPANY

    We develop, sell and support a suite of modular software products that is
used by law enforcement and public safety agencies to manage criminal history
records. Our software systems and associated hardware allow our customers to
quickly capture, archive, search, retrieve and share digital photographs and
criminal history records. Our products are currently being used by government
agencies such as the New York City Police Department, the Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Department, the Arizona Department of Public Safety, the Montreal
Police Department and law enforcement agencies in Minneapolis, Portland,
Seattle, Indianapolis and Orlando.

    The National Institute of Justice estimated in 1998 that there were
approximately 60 million criminal history records and that this number is
increasing by more than 20 million per year. Police, sheriffs, FBI officials,
airport police and many others all have a need to quickly access criminal
records to identify criminal suspects and offenders by visual descriptions. Many
law enforcement booking systems are still merely an inefficient file of paper
records which cannot be accessed quickly or from a remote location. In many
places, witnesses still flip through books of photographs to try to identify a
suspect. In light of these inefficiencies and the large number of criminal
records, many agencies are turning to new technologies to increase their ability
to quickly access these records to identify, locate and arrest criminal
suspects.

    To take advantage of the growing law enforcement market for digital imaging
technology, we have developed a suite of modular software products known as the
Crime Reduction, Image Management and Enhancement System, or "C.R.I.M.E.S." The
C.R.I.M.E.S. system consists of the following software modules, which may also
be purchased individually: The Crime Capture System, Face ID, Suspect ID, Crime
Lab and Vehicle ID. To date, our products have been used by more than 450
customers.

    The key elements of our business strategy include the following:

    - Fully exploit the expanding law enforcement and public safety markets.

    - Enhance existing products and develop new products to allow Internet and
      wireless real-time access to criminal record databases.

    - Expand into related public safety applications such as inmate control for
      correctional facilities, remote check-in of parolees and probationers, gun
      registration and the identification of missing children.

    - Penetrate the access control and identification markets for large
      customers such as corporations, hospitals, universities and government
      agencies.

    - Acquire other businesses in order to expand our customer base, increase
      the range of products we offer to our customers and enter new markets.

<TABLE>
<S>                                            <C>
Securities offered...........................  1,500,000 units. Each unit consists of one
                                               share of common stock and one public warrant
                                               to purchase an additional share of common
                                               stock.

                                               The common stock and public warrants will
                                               trade only as a unit for at least 30 days
                                               following this offering. The representative
                                               of the underwriters will then determine when
                                               the units separate, after which the common
                                               stock and the public warrants will trade
                                               separately.

Public warrants..............................  The public warrants included in the units
                                               will be exercisable commencing 30 days after
                                               the offering. The exercise price of a public
                                               warrant is 120% of the initial public
                                               offering price of the units during the first
                                               year after the offering and 150% of the
                                               initial public offering price of the units
                                               thereafter. The public warrants expire on the
                                               fifth anniversary of the closing of the
                                               offering.

                                               We have the right, commencing six months
                                               after the closing of the offering, to redeem
                                               the public warrants issued in the offering at
                                               a redemption price of $0.25 per public
                                               warrant, after providing 30 days prior
                                               written notice to the public warrant holders,
                                               if the average closing bid price of the
                                               common stock equals or exceeds 200% of the
                                               initial public offering price of the units
                                               for ten consecutive trading days ending prior
                                               to the date of the notice of redemption.

                                  RISK FACTORS

    THIS OFFERING INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER
THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS AND ALL OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS
PROSPECTUS BEFORE PURCHASING ANY UNITS. ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RISKS COULD
MATERIALLY HARM OUR BUSINESS, OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
COULD RESULT IN A DECREASE IN THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR UNITS, COMMON STOCK OR
PUBLIC WARRANTS OR IN A COMPLETE LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES AND EXPECT TO INCUR LOSSES IN THE FUTURE.

    As of September 30, 1999, we had an accumulated deficit of $18,684,133, and
we expect to incur losses in the future. We expect to continue to incur
significant sales and marketing, research and development, and general and
administrative expenses. As a result, we will need to generate significant
revenues to achieve profitability. We may never achieve profitability.

WE SUBSTANTIALLY DEPEND ON SALES OF ONE PRODUCT.

    Through September 30, 1999, we had derived approximately 85% of our product
revenue in 1999 from sales of our booking products. A decrease in the price of
or demand for the Crime Capture System, or its failure to achieve broad market
acceptance, would significantly harm our business, financial condition and
operating results.

WE DEPEND UPON A SMALL NUMBER OF LARGE SYSTEM SALES AND MAY FAIL TO ACHIEVE ONE
OR MORE LARGE SYSTEM SALES IN THE FUTURE.

    In the past two years, we have derived a substantial portion of our revenues
from a small number of sales of large, relatively expensive systems, typically
ranging in price from $300,000 to $600,000. As a result, if we fail to receive
orders for these large systems in a given sales cycle on a consistent basis, our
business, financial condition and operating results could be significantly
harmed. Further, our quarterly results are difficult to predict because we
cannot predict in which quarter, if any, large system sales will occur in a
given year. As a result, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our
results of operations are not a good indication of our future performance. In
some future quarters our operating results may be below the expectations of
securities analysts and investors, in which case the market price of our common
stock may decrease significantly.

OUR LENGTHY SALES CYCLE CAUSES US TO EXPEND SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES IN
  ANTICIPATION OF A SALE.

    When considering the purchase of a large computerized booking system, a
government agency may take as long as a year to evaluate different systems and
obtain approval for the purchase. Generally, agencies consider a wide range of
issues before committing to purchase our products, including product benefits,
ability to operate with their current systems, product reliability and their own
budget constraints. While potential customers are evaluating our products and
before they place an order with us, we may incur substantial selling costs and
expend significant management effort to accomplish a sale. If we fail to
complete a sale, we will have expended significant resources and received no
revenue in return.

MOST OF OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SUBJECT TO POLITICAL AND BUDGETARY CONSTRAINTS.

    Most of our customers are government agencies. These agencies often do not
set their own budgets and therefore have little control over the amount of money
they can spend. In addition, these agencies experience political pressure which
may dictate the manner in which they spend money. As a result, even if an agency
wants to acquire our products, it may be unable to purchase them due to these
political and budgetary constraints. In addition, some government agency orders
may be canceled

                                       5
<PAGE>
or substantially delayed, the receipt of revenues or payments may be
substantially delayed due to political and budgetary processes and other
scheduling delays may frequently occur relating to the contract or bidding
process.

WE EXPERIENCE RISKS RELATING TO GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS.

    A substantial majority of our revenues is derived from the sale of products
and services to governmental agencies. These agencies frequently require
provisions in their contracts that are not customary in private commercial
transactions, such as bonding requirements, provisions permitting the purchasing
agency to modify or terminate at will the contract without penalty, provisions
requiring us to remain liable to the agency for unlimited losses relating to
year 2000 malfunctions, and provisions permitting the agency to perform
investigations or audits of our business practices. Our customers are subject to
these and other government agency contracting requirements which vary by
jurisdiction. Future sales to government agencies will depend on our ability to
meet these government contracting requirements, certain of which may be onerous
or impossible to meet, resulting in our inability to obtain a particular
contract. Moreover, if a government agency were to enforce such provisions
against us, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be
materially adversely effected.

OUR PRODUCTS HAVE NOT YET ACHIEVED BROAD ACCEPTANCE BY THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AND
PUBLIC SAFETY MARKETS AND MAY NOT BE ACCEPTED BY THE SECURITY MARKET.

    We intend to offer our products to a broader segment of the law enforcement
and public safety markets as well as the security market. We have not yet had
significant sales in any markets. The acceptance of our products and systems may
be adversely affected by their relatively high cost and the reluctance of
agencies or corporations to adopt new technology. The failure of our products to
achieve broad acceptance among law enforcement officials and security personnel
would have a negative effect on our business, financial condition and operating
results.

WE MAY FAIL TO CREATE NEW APPLICATIONS FOR OUR PRODUCTS AND ENTER NEW MARKETS.

    We believe our future success depends in part on our ability to develop and
market our technology for applications other than booking systems for the law
enforcement market. For example, we anticipate our technology may be developed
to create digital databases of facial images and picture identification cards
for employees of large corporations. We also intend to develop software to fully
integrate our products with the Internet. We intend to expend significant
resources to develop new products and enter new markets. However, we may fail to
develop our technology to create these new products or successfully sell new
products into other markets. If we fail in these goals, our business strategy
and ability to generate revenues and cash flow would be significantly impaired.

WE RELY ON OTHER COMPANIES TO MANAGE CERTAIN OF OUR LARGE PROJECTS AND THESE
COMPANIES MAY NOT PERFORM ADEQUATELY.

    We are a subcontractor to certain systems integrators who manage large
projects incorporating our systems, particularly in foreign countries. We cannot
control these companies and they may decide not to promote our products or to
price their services in such a way as to make it unprofitable for us to continue
our relationship with them. Further, they may fail to perform under agreements
with their customers, in which case we might lose sales to these customers. If
we lose our relationships with these companies, our business, financial
condition and operating results could be significantly harmed.

WE FACE COMPETITION WHICH MAY REDUCE OUR MARKET SHARE OR MAKE OUR TECHNOLOGY
  OBSOLETE.

    Our products face competition. In particular, the Crime Capture System faces
strong competition from other makers of booking systems. Our existing
competitors may develop technology and products

                                       6
<PAGE>
which are superior to and more successful than our products. In addition, other
companies or individuals may develop superior products and emerge rapidly as new
competitors by investing heavily in product development and marketing. The
development of technologies or products which are competitive with our products
or make our technology obsolete would significantly harm our business, financial
condition and operating results.

WE RELY ON LICENSES OF TECHNOLOGY FROM OTHER COMPANIES AND THESE LICENSES MAY BE
TERMINATED IN THE FUTURE.

    We depend on a licensing arrangement with Visionics, Inc. for technology
related to the search engine used in our systems. Our present licensing
arrangement with Visionics expires in July 2001. If Visionics becomes unable or
unwilling to continue to license us this technology or renew the terms of this
license, we will have to identify or develop acceptable alternative sources of
this technology, which could take up to nine months or longer. Any significant
interruption in our ability to identify and contract with alternative providers
of similar technology or develop our own search engine would result in delivery
delays, which could harm our customer relationships and our business and
reputation.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

    Our business is based in large part on our technology and our success
depends in part on our ability and efforts to protect our intellectual property
rights. We do not have patent protection for several of our products, including
the Crime Capture System. Our Crime Capture System is based upon proprietary
technology. The technology used in our Suspect ID, Crime Lab and Vehicle ID
products is protected by patents, copyrights and various trade secret
protections afforded to us by law. If we do not adequately protect our
intellectual property, our business, financial condition and operating results
will be seriously harmed.

    We license certain elements of our trademarks, trade dress, copyright and
other intellectual property to third-parties. We attempt to ensure that our
rights in our trade names and the quality of third party uses of our names are
maintained by these third parties. However, these third parties may take actions
that could significantly impair the value of our intellectual property and our
reputation and goodwill. We also license our technology to Atlus Co., Ltd. Atlus
has the right to sublicense our technology and to use our technology to compete
with us. If Atlus chooses to use our technology to compete with us, our
business, financial condition and operating results could be significantly
harmed.

    In addition, international intellectual property laws differ from country to
country. Any foreign rights we have in our technology are limited by what has
been afforded to us under the applicable foreign intellectual property laws.
Also, under the laws of certain foreign jurisdictions, in order to have
recognizable intellectual property rights, we may be required to file
applications with various foreign agencies or officials to register our
intellectual property. Although we do have a patent application pending in
Japan, we do not currently have corresponding foreign registrations pending or
issued for all our technology. Accordingly, our ability to operate and exploit
our technology overseas could be significantly hindered.

WE MAY BE HARMED BY YEAR 2000 PROBLEMS.

    We cannot assure you that our products will be "Year 2000 compliant;" that
is, that the performance of our products will not be impaired by the change in
the date from the year 1999 to the year 2000. The Force Field 2000 product,
which we acquired in our acquisition of XImage Corporation, was found not to be
Year 2000 compliant. Consequently, we created a Year 2000 compliance update to
the Force Field 2000 software, which has been installed on most of our
customers' systems. We anticipate that such upgrade installations will be
complete by December 31, 1999. In the event we are not able to complete all
upgrade installations on all terminals, we may be liable to certain of these

                                       7
<PAGE>
customers for breach of our Year 2000 representations and warranties that appear
in many of our customer agreements, which could have a material adverse effect
on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

    In addition, we acquire off-the-shelf products from third parties, such as
computer hardware. We use these products in the internal operations of our
business and we provide these products to customers in conjunction with our
software products. The products provided by these third parties may not be Year
2000 compliant. Further, government agencies and other of our customers may use
computer systems and products that are not Year 2000 compliant and which may
disrupt the performance of our products. The failure of any of these products or
systems to be Year 2000 compliant could significantly disrupt our business and
impair our ability to generate revenues and cash flows.

OUR PLANNED EXPANSION TO INTERNATIONAL MARKETS WILL EXPOSE US TO RISKS INHERENT
TO INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS.

    While we have not yet had significant international sales, we plan to
continue to sell internationally in the future. If we cannot overcome the
challenges and risks inherent in international operations, our business strategy
and our ability to generate revenues will be significantly impaired. Some of
these challenges and risks are as follows:

    - It may be more difficult for us to protect our intellectual property
      rights in some countries.

    - It may take longer for us to collect payment from our customers.

    - We will have to enforce agreements through foreign legal systems with
      which we are less familiar.

    - We will face volatility and unpredictability in the political and economic
      conditions of foreign countries.

CHANGES IN THE VALUE OF THE JAPANESE YEN COULD RESULT IN CURRENCY TRANSACTION
  LOSSES FOR US.

    We have agreed to repay a loan to a Japanese lender based upon the value of
the Japanese Yen, regardless of the change in the value of the Yen relative to
the U.S. dollar. As a result of this agreement, changes in the value of the Yen
relative to the U.S. dollar could cause currency transaction gains or losses. We
cannot predict the effect of the exchange rate fluctuations on this obligation.
We may experience significant currency exchange transaction losses when it is
time to repay such loan. To date, we have not hedged this loan transaction to
protect us from risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations.

RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING

OUR MANAGEMENT MAY USE THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS OFFERING IN WAYS THAT DO NOT
IMPROVE OUR OPERATING RESULTS OR MARKET VALUE.

    We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for increased marketing
efforts, research and development and general corporate purposes. In addition, a
significant portion of the proceeds will be used to repay debt. The repayment of
debt will not directly result in the improvement of our operating results. Our
management will retain broad discretion and significant flexibility in applying
the net proceeds from this offering. If our management does not apply the
proceeds effectively, our business would be harmed.

                                       8
<PAGE>
YOU WILL SUFFER IMMEDIATE DILUTION OF YOUR INVESTMENT AND MAY EXPERIENCE FURTHER
DILUTION IN THE FUTURE.

    We anticipate that the initial public offering price of the units will be
substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common
stock after this offering. As a result, you will incur immediate dilution of
approximately $6.56 in net tangible book value for each share of our common
stock included in the units you purchase. If any outstanding options or warrants
to purchase our common stock are exercised, your investment will be further
diluted.

THERE HAS BEEN NO PRIOR MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND A PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR
COMMON STOCK MAY NOT DEVELOP OR BE SUSTAINED.

    Prior to this offering, you could not buy or sell our common stock publicly.
If an active public market for our common stock is not sustained after this
offering, the market price of our common stock may fall below the initial public
offering price of the units, and the liquidity of your investment may be
significantly harmed.

THE INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING PRICE OF THE UNITS MAY NOT ACCURATELY REFLECT FUTURE
MARKET PERFORMANCE.

    The initial public offering price of the units has been determined based on
negotiations between us and the representative of the underwriters. The initial
public offering price may not be indicative of future market performance and may
bear no relationship to the price at which our units, common stock or public
warrants will trade upon completion of this offering.

OUR STOCK PRICE, LIKE THOSE OF OTHER TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES, MAY BE VOLATILE.

    The stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations
and the market prices of securities of technology companies have been highly
volatile. Our stock price may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of
factors, including:

    - Our quarterly results of operations;

    - Changes in earnings estimates by analysts and whether our earnings meet or
      exceed such estimates;

    - Announcements of technological innovations by us or our competitors;

    - Additions or departures of key personnel; and

    - Other events or factors which may be beyond our control.

    Volatility in the market price of our stock could lead to claims against us.
Defending these claims could result in significant costs and a diversion of our
management's attention and resources.

FUTURE SALES OF OUR COMMON STOCK BY OUR EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS COULD DECREASE THE
TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

    Sales of a large number of shares of our common stock in the public markets
after this offering, or the potential for such sales, could decrease the trading
price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through
future sales of our common stock. Upon completion of this offering, there will
be 2,655,482 shares of our common stock outstanding. The 1,500,000 shares of
common stock sold in this offering and the 1,500,000 shares of common stock
reserved for issuance upon exercise of the public warrants sold in this offering
are all freely tradeable without restrictions or further registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, unless such shares are purchased by our "affiliates," as
that term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933.

                                       9
<PAGE>
    An additional 2,685,141 shares of common stock are either currently
outstanding or may become outstanding upon exercise or conversion of options,
warrants or convertible securities currently outstanding or sold in this
offering. Moreover, substantially all of the holders of registration rights have
not waived such registration rights. As a result, the holders of an additional
460,900 shares of outstanding and issuable common stock may have rights under
certain circumstances to require us to register the shares within the next 12
months. If such holders exercise such registration rights, we could be required
to expend considerable resources to register such shares. All of these shares
may be sold in the future subject to compliance with securities laws and various
lock-up agreements to which certain of these shares are subject. The lock-up
agreements prohibit the sale in the public market of certain shares for one year
following the completion of this offering.

FUTURE COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS WILL BE NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN THE
TRADEABILITY OF THE SECURITIES.

    We must maintain in effect the registration statement filed with the

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

    We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of the 1,500,000 units that
we are selling in this offering will be approximately $11,180,000 ($13,057,000
if the representative exercises its over-allotment option in full) based on an
assumed public offering price of $9.00 per unit and after deducting the
underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

                                DIVIDEND POLICY

    We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our shares of common
stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our shares of common
stock in the foreseeable future. Currently, we intend to retain any future
earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. Any future
decision to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of
directors and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of
operations, capital requirements and other factors our board of directors may
deem relevant.

    Pursuant to the terms of our Series B Preferred Stock, we are obligated to
pay cumulative cash dividends from legally available funds at the annual rate of
$0.2125 per share, payable in two semi-annual installments of $0.10625 each. As
of December 13, 1999, accumulated but unpaid dividends payable on the Series B
Preferred Stock were approximately $173,569. We intend to use a portion of the
proceeds of this offering to pay these dividends.

                                    DILUTION

    If you invest in our units, your interest will be diluted to the extent of
the difference between the public offering price per share of our common stock
and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock after
this offering. For purposes of the dilution computation and the following
tables, we have allocated the full purchase price of a unit to the share of
common stock included in the unit and nothing to the warrant included in the
unit. As of September 30, 1999, our net tangible book value was $(4,770,797), or
$(4.22) per share of common stock. Net tangible book value per share represents
the amount of our total tangible assets reduced by the amount of our total
liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding.
Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between
the amount per share paid by the purchasers of our units in this offering and
the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately
afterwards. Without taking into effect any changes in the net tangible book
value after September 30, 1999, other than to give effect to the sale of
1,500,000 units in the offering at the assumed initial public offering price of
$9.00 per unit and the application of the net proceeds of the offering, the net
tangible book value of ImageWare as of September 30, 1999 would have been
$6,409,433, or $2.44 per share. This represents an immediate increase of $6.66
per share of common stock to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of
$6.56 per share of common stock to the new investors who purchase units in the
offering. The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                           <C>        <C>
Assumed initial public offering price.......................              $9.00
  Net tangible book value per share before the offering.....   $(4.22)
  Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable
    to new investors........................................     6.66
As adjusted net tangible book value per share after the
  offering..................................................               2.44
Dilution in tangible book value per share to new
  shareholders..............................................              $6.56
</TABLE>

    If the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full, dilution
per share to new shareholders would be $6.11 per share of common stock.

    The following table summarizes as of September 30, 1999 the differences
between the existing shareholders and the new shareholders with respect to the
number of shares of common stock included in the units purchased, the total
consideration paid, and the average price per share paid:

</TABLE>

    The above computations assume no exercise of outstanding options or warrants
to purchase common stock, the underwriters' over-allotment option, the public
warrants included in units sold in the offering or the representative's
warrants. All of these outstanding securities are described in "Description of
Securities" on page 41. To the extent that these options and warrants are
exercised, there will be further dilution to new investors.

OVERVIEW

    ImageWare Systems, Inc. was founded in February 1987 as a photo novelty
company. From 1987 through 1994, the company's business consisted of building
and operating unmanned photo booths which sold postcards with digitally captured
images of customers combined with various background and foreground scenes. In
November 1994, a group of employees and outside investors acquired a controlling
interest in the company from its founders, discontinued the photo booth business
and redirected the company toward the development of image-based software
products for the law enforcement community. Through the date of the acquisition,
the founders had invested approximately $7.7 million into the company,
represented by stock and paid in capital, and the company had an accumulated
deficit of approximately $8.6 million.

    Since the acquisition, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to
designing, developing, producing and marketing image-based software products for
law enforcement agencies. At September 30, 1999, we had raised additional equity
capital of approximately $8.3 million, bringing our total equity capital raised
since inception to approximately $16.0 million. From the date of the acquisition
through September 30, 1999, we accumulated an additional deficit of
approximately $10.1 million, bringing the total accumulated deficit since
inception to approximately $18.7 million.

    In 1995 and 1996, we worked with law enforcement agencies to identify their
needs and develop the initial modules for our C.R.I.M.E.S. suite of products and
the integrated system in which they would operate. Our first three modules,
Suspect ID, Crime Lab, and Vehicle ID, were introduced during this period. In
1997, we completed the development of Face ID and the Crime Capture System,
which, when included in our C.R.I.M.E.S. suite, gave us a sufficient breadth of
products to begin marketing entire systems in addition to individual modules.

    Cash generated from sales of the initial three modules in 1997 and 1998 was
limited due to their relatively low selling prices which ranged from $600 to
$5,000 per unit. The introduction of the Crime Capture System and Face ID in
late 1997 gave us the ability to sell systems with prices ranging from $25,000
to one million dollars or more per system. With this fully integrated, modular
suite of products, we were able to differentiate ourselves in the market from
competitors offering non-integrated products. Both the Crime Capture System and
Face ID create the potential for significant add-on sales, following the
installation of an initial system, through the sale of additional modules to
both the agency purchasing the system and other agencies that desire to access
that system. In addition, we expect a significant and growing stream of revenue
from the sale of customer support services, which are generally priced at
approximately 12-18% of the price paid for installed hardware and software. As
our installed base grows, we anticipate this revenue stream will grow.

    In 1997, recognizing that we would be shifting to sales of systems rather
than individual modules, and recognizing that the sales cycle for sales to
government agencies is relatively long, we established a national sales force
and implemented a top-down sales plan to market our products first to the
largest agencies and then to smaller agencies. We attempted to develop contacts
and relationships at the

                                       16
<PAGE>
federal, state and large county/municipality levels during 1997 to lay the
groundwork for larger systems orders. Our first significant system order was
received from the Arizona Department of Public Safety in January 1998.

    In January 1998, we also acquired all of the outstanding stock of XImage
Corporation for a combination of approximately $2.1 million in cash and notes,
and warrants to purchase 61,611 shares of our common stock. XImage Corporation,
based in San Jose, California, was founded in 1987 and designed and marketed mug
shot systems to the law enforcement community. This acquisition enabled us to
gain a significant foothold in the digital mug shot market with a customer base
which included the New York City Police Department and law enforcement agencies
in Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, Indianapolis, Orlando and Montreal. We
consolidated XImage Corporation's operations into our San Diego offices during
the second and third quarters of 1998.

    BACKLOG

    Although our backlog as of September 30, 1999 was approximately
$4.0 million compared to $775,000 as of September 30, 1998, we believe that such
backlog is the result, in part, of our inability to timely service orders due to
lack of working capital. After receiving the proceeds of this offering, we
expect to be able to ship most orders within three to four months. As a result,
our present backlog may not be indicative of our backlog in future periods.

    REVENUE RECOGNITION

    We recognize revenue from periodic license and maintenance agreements
ratably over the respective period covered thereunder. Our revenue from software
installation and implementation and from contract services is generally
recognized as the services are performed using the percentage of completion
method based on costs incurred to date compared to total estimated costs at
completion. Amounts received under contracts in advance of performance are
recorded as deferred revenue and generally recognized within one year from
receipt. Revenue from contract services for which we cannot reliably estimate
total costs are recognized upon completion.

    COST OF REVENUES

    Our principal product costs include:

    - Hardware costs when a product is purchased as a "turnkey" system. The
      majority of our system sales include equipment, which generally equates to
      between 15% and 50% of the sales price. As our installed base grows and
      add-on retrieval seats and investigative modules are purchased for use on
      existing personal computers, we anticipate that hardware sales as a
      percentage of revenue may decrease and gross margins may increase as
      orders include a greater proportion of software and services.

    - Third party software licensing fees for search engine technology
      incorporated into our software. The amount of these fees depends on the
      number of images in the customer's database.

    - Costs of personnel, travel, and overhead associated with custom
      integration work, hardware/ software configuration, site preparation,
      installation, and training.

    Our principal maintenance costs to deliver customer support services include
personnel, communications and overhead costs associated with maintaining a
7-day, 24-hour customer support desk and in-house and remote field service
personnel. These costs represent significant fixed costs. These costs are not,
however, anticipated to grow as fast as customer service revenues.

                                       17

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1999

    REVENUES.  Product revenues increased 32% from $1.9 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 to $2.5 million for the corresponding period in
1999. The increase reflected the further purchases of the Crime Capture System
with purchases by state and local agencies in Arizona to tie into the state-wide
system purchased and implemented by the Arizona Department of Public Safety in
1998. The increase also reflects system upgrades by most of our UNIX-based
customers who adopted our Windows-based Crime Capture System in 1999. Our
backlog of product orders increased significantly from approximately $775,000 at
September 30, 1998 to $4.0 million at September 30, 1999, indicating further
acceptance of our products. As in prior periods, our booking products
represented approximately 85% of our product revenues in the first nine months
of 1999.

    Customer service revenues decreased 5% from $1.0 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 to $954,000 for the corresponding period in 1999. In
1999, we offered our UNIX-based customers incentives to upgrade to the
Windows-based Crime Capture System. As part of the incentives, the customers
received reduced maintenance fees in 1999. The price reductions were justified
based upon the need to consolidate the number of versions of systems we would
have to support and to avoid the cost of bringing the older installations into
Y2K compliance. We do not expect to offer similar price reductions in the future
and expect customer service revenues to increase along with our expanded
installed base.

    COST OF PRODUCTS AND MAINTENANCE.  Cost of products and maintenance
decreased 6% from $1.7 million, or 55% of revenue, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 to $1.6 million, or 44% of revenue, for the corresponding
period in 1999. The decrease in the more recent period is primarily due to
higher than normal maintenance costs in the second and third quarters of 1998 as
we merged the maintenance functions of ImageWare and XImage. For a period of
time in 1998, two facilities were fully staffed and operational in order to
provide adequate time for training and to test systems to avoid any lapse in
service to our customers. Maintenance costs were approximately 92% of
maintenance revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to
64% for the corresponding period in 1999. Cost of products can vary as a
percentage of revenue from quarter to quarter depending upon product mix and the
hardware content included in systems installed during a given period.

    The royalties received in 1998 and 1999 were from a patent license agreement
with Panasonic for a product which does not compete with any of ImageWare's
current or contemplated products. Panasonic has stopped using the technology and
is not expected to pay further royalties.

    OPERATING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Operating, general and
administrative expenses increased 12% from $1.7 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 to $1.9 million for the corresponding period in 1999.
Approximately $275,000 of the increase was related to an evaluation of our
products for Y2K compliance and the related work performed to bring them into
compliance. An independent company performed the Y2K work under contract.

    SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES.  Sales and marketing expenses decreased 2%
from $714,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 to $701,000 for the
corresponding period in 1999. We were unable to accelerate our sales effort in
the first nine months of 1999 due to a lack of resources which limited our
ability to keep our sales force on the road and fully utilize trade publication
advertising and trade shows.

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.  Research and development expenses increased 47%
from $569,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 to $837,000 for the
corresponding period in 1999. The cost

                                       18
<PAGE>
increase for research and development reflects an increase in personnel to
accelerate new product development and respond to customer requests for product
enhancements and custom integration work.

    INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense increased 54% from $156,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 to $240,000 for the same period in 1999. The
increase reflects the cost of additional debt that the company issued to fund
the consolidation of XImage and ImageWare and to fund operations in 1999.

    NET LOSS.  The net loss was approximately $2.4 million for both the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 and the corresponding period in 1999. Gross
profits from the sale of products and maintenance services for the nine-month
period increased $548,000 from 1998 to 1999. Research and development expenses
for the nine-month period increased $542,000 from 1998 to 1999 due to $300,000
in non-recurring expenses related to Year 2000 compliance and increased
personnel costs in the more recent period. Operating, general and administrative
expenses for the nine-month period declined $77,000 from 1998 to 1999, offset by
an $84,000 increase in interest expense for the same period.

    YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1998

    REVENUES.  Product revenues increased from $459,000 in 1997 to $2.7 million
in 1998. This increase reflects the company's shift from selling individual
modules to selling systems with the introduction of its Crime Capture System and
Face ID product lines. Sales of our Crime Capture System and the XImage
UNIX-based mug shot system accounted for the majority of the increase.

    Customer service revenues increased from $3,000 in 1997 to $1.3 million in
1998. The increase was due to the acquisition of the XImage installed base of
mug shot systems and the XImage customer service contracts related to their
customer installations.

    License and other revenues decreased 91% from $2.4 million in 1997 to
$220,000 in 1998. In 1997, we received approximately $2 million for a paid-up
license on certain of our patents from a Japanese company for use in markets
unrelated to those in which we operate.

    COST OF PRODUCTS AND MAINTENANCE.  Cost of products and maintenance
increased from $78,000 in 1997 to $2.4 million in 1998. The increase reflects
the shift in the product mix from primarily software in 1997 to systems and
customer service in 1998, with the introduction of new products and the
acquisition of XImage. The sale of systems generally involves the sale of
hardware as well as software in addition to providing services such as custom
integration, installation and training. The cost of hardware and associated
services can vary depending upon the extent to which the customer will utilize
pre-owned equipment or purchase equipment directly, and the complexity of the
systems into which our product must interconnect.

    Cost of sales related to maintenance revenues were approximately
$1.1 million in 1998. Prior to 1998, we had virtually no maintenance revenue or
cost of sales since we had no installed mug shot systems. With the introduction
of the Crime Capture System and the acquisition of XImage in January 1998, we
began to provide 7-day, 24-hour customer service desk and field service to
perform on-site maintenance. In 1998, we had some duplication of costs for
maintenance during a portion of the second and third quarters until we combined
the operations of XImage and ImageWare into a single facility.

    OPERATING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Operating, general and
administrative expenses increased 64% from $1.4 million in 1997 to $2.3 million
in 1998. XImage was acquired in January 1998 and continued to run independently
until we closed the XImage facility and eliminated redundant overhead in
September 1998. The 1998 general and administrative expenses included the
operation of two facilities and two infrastructures for seven months, as well as
the cost of moving both XImage and ImageWare operations from their respective
facilities into a single facility.

                                       19
<PAGE>
    SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES.  Sales and marketing expenses increased 4.5%
from $919,000 in 1997 to $960,000 in 1998. In 1997, we completed staffing of our
in-house sales force and initiated a campaign to develop our markets and
establish relationships related to the development of future business. In 1997,
prior to our acquisition of XImage Corporation, XImage had virtually no activity
or expense for sales and marketing.

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES.  Research and development expenses
increased 72% from $482,000 in 1997 to $831,000 in 1998. The increased expense
in 1998 reflects some redundancy in personnel required during the consolidation
of the two companies, combined with some personnel increases in late 1997 and
early 1998 related to the rollout of our new Crime Capture System and Face ID
product lines. We were required to maintain a number of the XImage research and
development staff through 1998 in order to complete several products which were
in development at the time we acquired XImage. As those projects were completed,
redundancies in staff were eliminated.

    DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION.  Depreciation and amortization increased 492%
from $167,000 in 1997 to $989,000 in 1998. The acquisition of XImage resulted in
ImageWare booking approximately $3.5 million in goodwill which we are amortizing
over four years at approximately $863,000 per year through 2001.

    INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense increased from $18,000 in 1997 to
$204,000 in 1998. The increase reflects the significant additional debt that the
company incurred and assumed in connection with the acquisition of XImage in
late January 1998 and the funding of the subsequent consolidation of the two
companies.

    PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.  The 1997 provision for income taxes represented
foreign taxes withheld in Japan on the license revenue received from a Japanese
company, as required by Japanese law.

    NET LOSS.  The net loss increased from approximately $400,000 in 1997 to
$3.4 million in 1998. Gross profits from the sale of products and maintenance
services increased $1.2 million from 1997 to 1998. This increase in gross profit
was offset by a reduction in non-recurring license fee income of $2.0 million,
an increase of $821,000 in depreciation and amortization, an increase of
$829,000 in operating, general and administrative expenses, an increase of
$348,000 in research and development expenses and an increase of $187,000 in
interest expense. The higher operating, general and administrative expense and
the higher research and development expense in 1998 included the cost of
combining the XImage and ImageWare operations and the cost of eliminating
redundant facilities and resources.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    LIQUIDITY.  We had negative working capital of $3.1 million at December 31,
1998 compared to $4.8 million at September 30, 1999. Cash used by operating
activities totaled $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and
$752,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

    For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, cash was principally used to
fund $2.4 million in losses offset by non-cash charges of $349,000 for
compensation and fees paid with stock and $725,000 in depreciation and
amortization. Cash used to fund losses was also offset by a $608,000 net
increase in current liabilities in excess of the increase in current assets. The
increase in current liabilities included a $399,000 increase in accounts payable
and a $434,000 increase in accrued expenses and interest, due both to our
increased volume of business and to our inability to meet the terms of our
vendor and debt obligations during the period. The offsetting increase in
current assets included an increase in accounts receivable of $206,000 and in
inventories of $126,000 due to increased business activity.

                                       20
<PAGE>
    Cash used by operating activities in 1998 totaled $1.9 million and was used
principally to fund $3.4 million in losses offset by non-cash charges of
$989,000 for depreciation and amortization and $522,000 for fees paid with
stock.

    During 1998, we used an additional $2.1 million in cash for investing
activities to complete the acquisition of XImage.

    CAPITAL RESOURCES.  Prior to 1998, our primary sources of funds were
shareholder loans, private placements of stock and, to a lesser extent, cash
provided by operating activities. In 1998, we received $1.2 million in funds
from secured bank loans, in addition to $705,000 in loans from shareholders. In
the first nine months of 1999, we received $730,000 in loans from shareholders
and $300,000 from the sale of stock. During the corresponding period in 1999, we
repaid $200,000 in bank debt and $10,000 in shareholder debt.

    Subsequent to September 30, 1999, we received an additional $1.25 million as
a loan from a Japanese shareholder with terms extending to the earlier of the
completion of our initial public offering or February 10, 2001. We have agreed
to assume any exchange rate risk in the repayment of this loan and have not
entered into any hedging transaction with respect to this potential obligation.
In the fourth quarter 1999, we also received an additional $500,000 as a loan
from the chairman of Paulson Investment Company, Inc. with terms extending to
the earliest of the demand of our lender, the closing of our initial public
offering, or April 3, 2000. We used $500,000 of the funds provided by these
fourth quarter 1999 financing activities to reduce our bank debt. We used an
additional $125,000 of the loan proceeds to reduce notes payable to shareholders
and pay officers for credit card debt. During the fourth quarter 1999, we
received an extension of the bank loan until March 3, 2000, and extensions on
shareholder debt totaling $803,500, subject to progressive principal payments on
a monthly payment schedule, with the balance due upon the completion of our
initial public offering.

    We have not generated sufficient cash from operations to fund continued
operations or our growth plan, and will require significant additional future
funding. We believe that our 2000 operating and financing plans will, if carried
our successfully, be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the year, based
on our current expense calculations and our current and anticipated revenue
streams, including the proceeds of this offering. Our operating and financing
plans assume certain revenue projections can be met and our overall cost
structure remains stable, as to either of which there can not be any assurance.
There also can be no assurance that our working capital objectives will be
reached in the near future, if ever. In the event that additional capital is
required, we may seek to raise such capital though private or public equity
financing. There can be no assurance that such capital will be available on
favorable terms, if at all.

    OTHER COMMITMENTS.  In connection with the outstanding Series B Preferred
Stock, we are obligated to pay cumulative dividends at the rate of $0.2125 per
share per year. At September 30, 1999, dividends due aggregated approximately
$157,000. Dividends due at December 31, 1999 are estimated to be approximately
$178,000 and are to be paid from the proceeds from this offering.

    The company has also entered into certain agreements for the payment of
debts out of the proceeds of this offering. See "Use of Proceeds".

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

    We have identified Year 2000 risks in three categories: internal business
operations software and hardware; software and hardware used in our products,
and software used by our external vendors and service suppliers.

    With regard to our internal operations, we have relied on written
representations from our software and hardware vendors to confirm that the
versions of their products we are using are Year 2000 compliant. As a result of
our review we believe that substantially all of our existing systems,

                                       21
<PAGE>
software and hardware are Year 2000 compliant. We anticipate compliance
activities to be complete not later than December 31, 1999. We have spent
between $15,000 and $25,000 in this area, and additional costs are not expected
to be more than $15,000. As part of our contingency plan in case our internal
systems are not enirely Year 2000 compliant, we regularly have all data backed
up in a form so as to ensure no loss of information and to enable a system
migration if necessary.

    With regard to software and hardware used in our products, we have engaged
an independent firm to evaluate our products, identify areas of non-compliance,
develop a plan to bring the products into compliance and implement the plan to
bring all customers under maintenance contracts compliant by December 31, 1999.
The cost of such compliance activities is estimated to be approximately $400,000
and will be funded primarily through borrowings. Approximately $275,000 of such
amount was expended during the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The
implementation of our remediation plan has remained on schedule and is expected
to be completed by December 31, 1999.

    We have not conducted independent inquiries regarding Year 2000 compliance
by providers of basic services such as those provided by our bank, utility
company, telecommunications and transportation providers. If such services are
interrupted, our operations would be materially adversely affected for the
duration of the service interruption. Based on communications initiated by such
providers to date, we do not anticipate service interruptions and we do not
expect to incur any material expense with respect to services provided by
external vendors. We have neither determined our most reasonably likely
worst-case scenario nor developed any contingency plans with respect to the
possible loss of such services.

                                    BUSINESS

COMPANY OVERVIEW

    We develop, sell and support a suite of modular software products that is
used by law enforcement and public safety agencies to manage criminal history
records. Our software systems and associated hardware allow our customers to
quickly capture, archive, search, retrieve and share digital photographs and
criminal history records. Our products are currently being used by large
government agencies such as the New York City Police Department and the Los
Angeles County Sheriff's Department, as well as the Arizona Department of Public
Safety, the Montreal Police Department, the government of Kuwait, and law
enforcement agencies in Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, Indianapolis and
Orlando.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

    Police departments and other law enforcement and public safety agencies rely
on criminal history records to help fight crime. A criminal history record
includes personal information and a history of arrests, convictions and other
events, and may also include fingerprints and photographs. The National
Institute of Justice estimated in 1998 that there were 60 million criminal
history records and that this number is increasing by 20 million per year.
According to a 1989 recidivism study conducted by the U.S. Department of
Justice, of the 108,580 persons released from prisons in 11 states in 1983, an
estimated 62.5% were re-arrested for a felony or serious misdemeanor within
three years. Since many crimes are committed by recidivists, the ability to
quickly search criminal history records to identify a suspect is particularly
important.

    Many law enforcement and public safety record-keeping systems are still
merely a file of paper records which cannot be searched quickly or from a remote
location. In many places, victims and witnesses still flip through books of
photographs to try to identify a criminal suspect. Even if paper records contain
pictures of criminals, they cannot be quickly searched based on selected
criteria such as eye color, first name or gang membership. To alleviate the
inadequacies of paper records, many agencies have moved to digital
record-keeping systems. However, many of these systems are merely a database of
criminal records that can be searched by record number only. While they reduce
the need for paper files and are easier to keep secure, they do not allow
officers to search for an unknown suspect in the database based on criteria such
as height, hair color, gang membership or other factors. Even agencies that have
installed searchable databases often do not yet have biometrics-based software
that would allow them to compare a digital facial photograph with photographs in
the database in order to match an unknown suspect with known criminals who have
similar physical characteristics. "Biometrics" refers to the method of
identifying a person by measuring distinctive biological characteristics, such
as facial features or fingerprints.

    In view of the inefficiencies in traditional record keeping-systems, many
agencies are turning to new technologies to increase their ability to quickly
identify, locate and arrest criminal suspects. Costs have decreased for computer
hardware, bandwidth and communications infrastructures. The ability to transmit
large quantities of data, such as digital images, has increased, as has the use
of open architecture among systems, allowing agencies to share data more
effectively. The speed and accuracy of facial recognition technology is also
increasing, as are the capabilities for the transmission of digital images. As a
result of these factors, we believe law enforcement agencies will increasingly
seek to replace outdated methods, increase the size of their digital booking
systems and look for investigative products that allow them to effectively
search and share the information captured in their systems.

    Further, we believe that, as computer technology becomes more common, law
enforcement agencies will increasingly use laptop computers and wireless data
communication. These technologies will eventually allow investigators and police
officers to access their agency's database and other information from the scene
of a crime or from a patrol car.

MARKETS

THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AND PUBLIC SAFETY MARKETS

    The United States law enforcement and public safety markets are composed of
federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. As of 1996, state and local
governments in the United States operated approximately 18,769 law enforcement
agencies consisting of 13,578 local police departments, 3,088 sheriffs'
departments and offices, 49 primary state law enforcement agencies, 1,316
special police agencies, and 738 county constable offices. As of 1996, the
federal market consisted of federal agencies, such as the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the Drug Enforcement Administration, which in total employed
about 74,500 full-time employees, not including military agencies and their
personnel.

    The federal government has promoted the development and use of nationwide
criminal history record databases called the Interstate Identification Index and
the National Crime Information Center 2000, or NCIC 2000, each consisting of
national and regional databases. The Interstate Identification Index is
maintained by the FBI and includes persons arrested for felonies or serious
misdemeanors. The FBI has indicated that this Index will accept photographs in
the future. NCIC 2000 is an on-line information system dedicated to serving
criminal justice agencies. In July 1999, NCIC 2000 replaced an older system to
allow for the sharing of digital images. We anticipate that the inclusion of
digital images in these databases will increase the value of digital booking
systems and the demand for facial recognition applications.

    The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 is expected to
contribute at least $130 million in grants to support technological improvements
for law enforcement agencies and other activities to improve law enforcement
training and information systems, which could include purchases of our products
and services. The Crime Identification Technology Act of 1998 authorized funding
of up to $250 million in each of the next five years to, among other things,
support integration of state and local justice system technology. Agencies are
eligible for grants under this program based on their initiatives to develop,
oversee, plan and implement integrated information technology, including
technology of the type produced by ImageWare. This act merely authorizes this
funding and is contingent on Congress passing legislation to appropriate the
funds each year.

OTHER APPLICATIONS AND MARKETS

    We believe there are emerging applications for our products within the
public safety market beyond the needs of agencies to book and identify criminal
suspects. Variations on our system can be used to track inmate populations of
correctional facilities, to monitor the location of persons on parole or
probation without the need for them to visit their parole or probation officer
in person, to monitor gun registrations and allow gun retailers and distributors
to run more accurate background checks on potential buyers, and to help
authorities locate missing children.

    Our technology also has emerging applications in markets related to access
control and identification. Organizations concerned with security issues can use
our products to create picture identification cards that can be instantly
checked against a database of facial images to prevent unauthorized access to
secure areas. Potential customers in these markets include large corporations,
hospitals, universities and government agencies.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

    We believe our integrated suite of software products significantly reduces
the inefficiencies and expands the capabilities of traditional booking systems.
Using our products, an agency can create a digital database of thousands of
criminal history records, each including a full-color facial image, text
information and images of other distinctive physical features. This database can
be quickly searched using text queries or by using our facial recognition
technology to compare the face of an unknown

                                       24
<PAGE>
suspect with facial images in the database. Our investigative software products
can also be used to create, edit and enhance digital images and to search
databases of other agencies to which the customer has access.

    We believe our products allow our customers to achieve the following
benefits:

    MORE QUICKLY BOOK AND IDENTIFY SUSPECTS.  Because many officers can enter
    information and images directly into the booking system simultaneously from
    multiple locations, an agency can reduce the time required to book a
    suspect. In addition, rather than flipping through books of mugshots, an
    officer and witness can use our software to quickly compare the digital
    image of a suspect with thousands of facial images in the booking system.

    MORE ACCURATELY CAPTURE AND IDENTIFY FACES.  Officers and witnesses can
    together create and edit full-color, photograph-quality images to match the
    facial image as closely as possible to the description of the suspect.

    SEARCH THROUGH A GREATER NUMBER OF CRIMINAL RECORDS.  As agencies are able
    to access not only their own booking system but the databases of other
    agencies as well, they will be able to access a far greater number of
    criminal records than available through traditional booking systems.

    MINIMIZE TRAINING TIME AND EXPENSE.  Our products are designed to be used by
    persons with minimal technical backgrounds. Our software programs ask simple
    questions to create full-color facial images, book a suspect or search a
    booking system.

    INTEGRATE OUR PRODUCTS INTO A COMPLETE SYSTEM.  Our system is made up of a
    suite of six fully integratable software modules. A customer may purchase
    all of the modules as a complete system or each module individually. Our
    booking system can also be integrated with other information systems, such
    as an automated fingerprint identification system.

    SCALE OUR PRODUCTS FOR USE ON A SINGLE COMPUTER OR A LARGE NETWORK.  Our
    products are completely scalable, so that they may be used on one computer
    terminal or with a client-server network including dozens of terminals or
    more.

    Our C.R.I.M.E.S. system consists of six software modules, which may also be
purchased individually. The Crime Capture System (including both the Capture
Module and the Retrieval Module) is our booking system and database. Our
investigative modules are Face ID, Suspect ID, Crime Lab and Vehicle ID.

    CRIME CAPTURE SYSTEM.  The Crime Capture System is a Windows-based digital
booking system made up of two distinct software modules and associated hardware
such as cameras and computer hardware as needed. The Crime Capture System allows
a customer to capture and store images and other information in a database and
search and retrieve records from the database. The Crime Capture System uses
off-the-shelf hardware and is designed to comply with open industry standards so
that it can operate on an array of systems ranging from a stand-alone personal
computer to a wide area network. To avoid duplication of entries, the system can
be integrated easily with several other information storage and retrieval
systems, such as a live scan fingerprint system, a records management system or
an automated fingerprint identification system. The first order for the Crime
Capture System occurred in January 1998. As of December 13, 1999, the Crime
Capture System is being used by 20 customers, including the Arizona Department
of Public Safety and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Each Crime
Capture System is scalable to suit each customer's needs and can be configured
to connect with systems which may already be in place. As a result, the price of
the system to the customer varies widely. Full installations of the Crime
Capture System have ranged from $25,000 for a stand-alone system to over
$1 million, and most commonly range from $150,000 to $400,000. Gross revenues
from sales of the Crime Capture System represented 62% of our year-to-date gross
revenues as of September 30, 1999.

                                       25
<PAGE>
    CCS CAPTURE.  This software module allows a user to capture and store facial
images as well as images of distinguishing features such as scars, tattoos and
other marks. Each entry contains both images and text information in an
easy-to-view format made up of distinct fields. As of December 13, 1999, we had
installed CCS Capture at 59 sites. Current customers of this module range from
agencies that capture a few thousand mugshots per year to those that capture
over 600,000 mugshots per year. CCS Capture will generally replace our
UNIX-based booking system, ForceField 2000, which was originally introduced by
XImage Corporation in 1989 as a mugshot capture system. While a few of our
customers will continue to use ForceField 2000 for the foreseeable future, we
have upgraded most current customers from the ForceField 2000 to the Crime
Capture System.

    CCS RETRIEVAL.  This software module allows a user to search the database
created with CCS Capture. Officers can conduct text searches in many fields,
including file number, name, alias, distinctive features like "brown eyes" or
"tattoo," and other information such as gang membership, arrests and
convictions. CCS Retrieval creates a catalogue of possible matches, allowing
officers or witnesses to save time by looking only at mugshots that closely
resemble the description of the suspect. This module can also be used to create
a line-up of similar facial images from which a witness may identify the
suspect. CCS Retrieval can be used by a law enforcement agency's satellite
offices that need to access a database created and maintained at a central
location using CCS Capture. As of December 13, 1999, we had installed CCS
Retrieval at 240 sites. When purchased separately from CCS Capture, the CCS
Retrieval module is typically priced at approximately $6,750.

    FACE ID.  This software module uses biometric facial recognition and
retrieval technology to help authorities identify possible suspects. Images
taken from surveillance videos, digital sketches or photographs can be searched
against a digital database of facial images to retrieve any desired number of
faces with similar characteristics. This investigative module can also be used
at the time of booking to identify persons using multiple aliases. Using
biometrics-based technology, Face ID can search through thousands of facial
images in a matter of seconds, reducing the time it would otherwise take a
witness to flip through a paper book of photographs that may or may not be
similar to the description of the suspect. Face ID then creates a selection of
possible matches ranked in order of similarity to the suspect, and a percentage
confidence level is attributed to each possible match. Face ID incorporates
search engine technology which we license from Visionics, Inc. We first
introduced Face ID in late 1997. This module is comprised of a server, which is
typically priced at $25,000 or more, and a personal computer client, which is
typically priced at approximately $15,000.

    SUSPECT ID.  This software module allows officers and witnesses to quickly
create full-color, photo-realistic suspect composites. The digital composites
are constructed from libraries of facial features based upon actual color
photographs of such features. Suspect ID allows officers with minimal computer
training and artistic talent to create a suspect composite by pointing and
clicking with a mouse. This module can be installed on a laptop computer and
taken into the field, allowing officers to conduct interviews and create
composites before witnesses' memories fade. For rapid identification, officers
can distribute completed composites within minutes via fax or e-mail. Suspect ID
incorporates our patented object-layering technology. We first introduced
Suspect ID in 1995. This module is typically priced at approximately $5,000.

    CRIME LAB.  This software module allows officers to enhance and edit digital
images. Using Crime Lab, an officer can update old images, create
non-prejudicial line-ups, remove distracting backgrounds and enhance the quality
of surveillance videos. Crime Lab incorporates our patented object-layering and
color-masking technologies. We first introduced Crime Lab in 1995. This module
is typically priced at approximately $600.

    VEHICLE ID.  This software module helps officers identify motor vehicles
which may have been stolen or involved in a crime. Vehicle ID's comprehensive
database includes images and text information for over 1,000 vehicle makes and
models and can be searched using many fields, including

                                       26
<PAGE>
physical features and Vehicle Identification Number. Images of vehicles similar
to the suspect vehicle can be viewed from front, rear, side or three quarter
angles and can be depicted in any color. A color copy of the suspect vehicle can
then be produced and immediately broadcast, printed or faxed to officers in the
field. Vehicle ID incorporates our patented object-layering technology. Vehicle
ID also incorporates Vehicle Identification Number software provided by the
National Insurance Crime Bureau. We first introduced Vehicle ID in 1996. This
module is typically priced at approximately $1,500.

    MAINTENANCE AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT

    We work directly with purchasers of our system to ensure that the system
they purchase will meet their unique needs. We configure and test the system
either at our facilities or on-site and conduct any customized programming
necessary to connect the system with any legacy systems already in place, such
as old booking system databases or other records management systems.

    As part of our installation of a system, we train our customer's employees
in the effective use of our products. We also provide training on an ongoing
basis both on-site and at our facilities in San Diego, California. We provide
on-site hardware support to our customers, generally within 24 hours of the
customer request. Customers can use a toll free number to speak with our
technical support center, which provides software support and general assistance
24 hours a day, seven days a week. On-site customer support is coordinated by
our field personnel in New York, Minnesota, Washington and Arizona. Providing
customer support services typically provides us with annual revenue of 12% to
18% of the initial sales price of the system purchased by our customer.

    SYSTEM CONFIGURATION AND FULFILLMENT

    We directly employ computer programmers and also retain independent
programmers to develop our software and perform quality control. We provide
customers software which we specifically configure to operate on their existing
computer system. We can also provide customers with a complete computer hardware
system with our software already installed and configured. In either case, the
customer is provided with a complete "turn-key" system which can be used
immediately. When we provide our customers with a complete computer system
including hardware, we use "off-the-shelf" computers, cameras and other
components purchased from other companies such as IBM or Gateway 2000. Systems
are assembled and configured either at our facilities in San Diego, California,
or at the customer's location.

OUR STRATEGY

    Key elements of our strategy for growth include the following:

FULLY EXPLOIT THE EXPANDING LAW ENFORCEMENT AND PUBLIC SAFETY MARKETS

    We intend to use our successful installations with customers such as the
Arizona Department of Public Safety as reference accounts and to aggressively
market C.R.I.M.E.S. as a superior technological solution. The majority of our
recent and near term sales has been and will be from sales of the Crime Capture
System. Our sales effort in the near term will be to establish the Crime Capture
System as the mug shot system adopted in as many countries, states and large
county/municipalities as possible. Once we have a system installed in a region,
we intend to then sell additional systems or retrieval seats to other agencies
within the primary customer's region and in neighboring regions. In addition, we
will then market our complementary investigative modules to the customer,
including Face ID, Suspect ID, Crime Lab and Vehicle ID. As customer databases
of digital mug shots grow, we expect that the perceived value of our
investigative modules, and corresponding revenues from sales of those modules,
will also grow.

                                       27
<PAGE>
EXPAND INTO RELATED APPLICATIONS WITHIN THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AND PUBLIC SAFETY
MARKETS

    Our products can provide solutions to law enforcement and public safety
agencies beyond our core application of police booking systems and related
investigative products, with minimal adaptation. The technology behind our
C.R.I.M.E.S. product line can be used to create databases of missing children
and compare the facial image of a lost child to the images in the database. Our
system can be used to help correctional facilities track and control inmates.
Gun sellers could use our products to access available criminal databases and
help prevent the sale of guns to ineligible persons. Our technology can be used
to monitor persons on parole or probation without requiring them to travel to
their parole or probation officer. We anticipate that a parolee or probationer
will be able to have his photograph taken in a specially designed kiosk which
uses biometrics-based technology to identify the person and inform his parole or
probation officer of his location.

PENETRATE THE ACCESS CONTROL AND IDENTIFICATION MARKETS

    We believe security issues are becoming increasingly important among public
agencies, corporations, hospitals, universities and similar organizations. Using
our products, an organization can create picture IDs that correspond to images
in a digital database. A security guard can stop an individual and accurately
check his identity against a database of authorized persons, and either allow or
deny access as required. Picture IDs cannot be faked in the system, and
authorized people are not delayed more than a moment. Our technology can also be
applied in other markets to facilitate activities such as voter registration,
immigration control and welfare fraud identification. Our system has been
adopted as the picture ID system for the government of Kuwait.

DEVELOP THE INTERNET AND WIRELESS CAPABILITIES OF OUR PRODUCTS

    We are currently developing a new software module, called Crime Web, which
will allow users to use the Internet or secure Intranets to conduct
investigative searches of digital booking systems. Crime Web will include the
most frequently used investigative features of the Crime Capture System to allow
users to retrieve single images, conduct searches based on one or more
parameters, create digital line-ups and print retrieved records. We are also
currently developing an Internet-based version of Face ID that will allow
investigators to use the Internet to compare the digital image of an unknown
suspect with a database of images using biometrics-based technology. We believe
our Internet products will allow users to quickly access and share images via
the Internet while maintaining the security and integrity of databases, thereby
encouraging the widespread dissemination and sharing of criminal information
among law enforcement agencies. We intend to introduce Crime Web in the first
quarter of fiscal 2000.

    We also intend to develop the wireless capabilities of our products. Public
safety agencies require information to be available to their agents in the
field. Vehicles are being outfitted with wireless terminals which will allow for
the receipt of more information, including color photographs and arrest records.
Additionally, public safety agencies are investigating the feasibility of
handheld devices which can operate outside of a vehicle and accompany
investigators wherever an investigation takes them. In order to facilitate the
transfer of arrest records and investigative tools to public safety employees in
the field, we plan to develop technology in cooperation with wireless
communications companies which will allow our products in the field to operate
over wireless systems.

ACQUIRE BUSINESSES THAT ENHANCE OUR STRATEGIC POSITION

    We may in the future acquire businesses that will complement our growth
strategy and enhance our competitive position in our core markets and other
markets. However, we have no current plans for such acquisitions.

                                       28
<PAGE>
SALES AND MARKETING

    We market and sell our products through our direct sales force and through
indirect distribution channels, including systems integrators. Our sales and
account representatives are based in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Georgia and
California.

    As of December 13, 1999, our domestic sales organization included our
Director of Sales, our Director of Major Account Development, our Vice President
of Sales and Business Development and five regional managers. Our Director of
Major Account Development, based in Boston, coordinates relationships with
systems integrators and other strategic partners and is responsible for U.S.
federal accounts and European sales. Other international sales are coordinated
by our Vice President of Sales and Business Development. Our sales professionals
are supported by our technical experts who are available by telephone and
conduct on-site customer presentations.

    The typical sales cycle for our Crime Capture System includes a pre-sale
process to define the potential customer's needs and budget, an on-site
demonstration, and conversations between the potential customer and existing
customers. Government agencies are typically required to purchase large systems
by including a list of requirements in a Request For Proposal (known as an
"RFP") and allowing several companies to openly bid for the project by
responding to the RFP. If our response is selected, we enter into negotiations
for the contract and, if successful, ultimately receive a purchase order from
the customer. This process can take anywhere from a few months to over a year.

    In addition to our direct sales force, we have developed relationships with
a number of large systems integrators who contract with government agencies for
the installation and integration of large computer and communication systems. By
acting as a subcontractor to these systems integrators, we are able to avoid the
time-consuming and often expensive task of submitting proposals to government
agencies and also gain access to large clients who might not contract directly
with small companies. In this context, we provide agencies with digital image
booking systems and our related investigative software products. As of
December 13, 1999, we were a subcontractor to the following prime contractors:

    - SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, for the New York City
      Police Department.

    - MORPHO SYSTEMES, S.A., a subsidiary of SAGEM, S.A., a French company, for
      the national identification system of Kuwait.

    - PRC, INC., for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

    - DIGITAL BIOMETRICS, INC., for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

    We have also entered into agreements or arrangements with the following
companies to jointly bid on certain specific projects:

    - SIEMENS BUSINESS SERVICES, S.A., a German company, to jointly bid on the
      national booking and facial recognition systems for the Belgian police.

    - HEWLETT-PACKARD SINGAPORE (SALES) PTE LTD., to jointly bid on the booking
      and facial recognition system for the Singapore Police Department.

    - INTELLIGENCE AND STRATEGIC PROCESSES PTY LTD., an Australian company, to
      sell our booking system in Australia and New Zealand.

    We also work with companies that offer complementary products, where value
is created through product integration. These teaming arrangements allow us to
both enhance our products and expand

                                       29
<PAGE>
our customer base through the relationships and contracts of our strategic
partners. We have entered into agreements with the following companies:

    - POLAROID CORPORATION. In September 1999, we entered into an agreement to
      jointly market centralized imaging and facial recognition technology to
      law enforcement agencies in selected states where Polaroid has state
      contracts for drivers' license systems.

    - H.T.E., INC. In August 1999, we entered into an agreement to integrate our
      Crime Capture System with the records management system and jail
      management system of H.T.E., Inc.

    We promote our products through trade journal advertisements, direct mail,
and attendance at industry trade shows, including those sponsored by the
International Association for Law Enforcement, the International Association for
Identification, and the International Association of Chiefs of Police. We also
target other media through public relations efforts, including non-industry
publications, daily newspapers, local and national news programs, and television
programs related to law enforcement. Articles regarding our products have
appeared in BUSINESS WEEK, IMAGING MAGAZINE, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL and a
number of other publications.

CUSTOMERS

    We have a broad range of domestic and international customers. Most of our
customers are government agencies at the federal, state and local levels in the
United States. Our products are also being used in Canada, the United Arab
Emirates, Kuwait, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, and the Philippines by over 450
customers, including the following:

<TABLE>
<S>                                        <C>
New York City Police Department            Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department
Arizona Department of Public Safety        King County (Seattle), Washington
Orange County, Florida Sheriff's Office    U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force
Hennepin County (Minneapolis), Minnesota   Montreal Police Department
Government of Kuwait                       Milwaukee County, Wisconsin
City of San Antonio, Texas
</TABLE>

    In addition to the major customers listed above, we also receive purchase
orders from or enter into contracts with cities or counties. We have agreed in
certain instances with the state agency, for example, the Arizona Department of
Public Safety, to provide our products and services to smaller cities within the
state at the price and on the terms offered to the state agency. When referring
to the number of our customers, we not only include the large entities such as
the Arizona Department of Public Safety, but also include the smaller cities (or
counties), such as Tempe and Scottsdale, which separately enter into contracts
with us or submit purchase orders for our products and services.

COMPETITION

    Due to the fragmented nature of the law enforcement and public safety market
and the modular nature of our product suite, we face different degrees of
competition with respect to each C.R.I.M.E.S. module. We believe the principal
bases on which we compete with respect to all of our products are:

    - The ability to integrate our modular products into a complete imaging and
      facial recognition system.

    - Our reputation as a reliable systems supplier.

    - The usability and functionality of our products.

    - The responsiveness, availability and reliability of customer support.

                                       30
<PAGE>
    The Crime Capture System faces strong competition from other makers of
booking systems, including companies such as Printrak International, Inc. and
Digital Descriptors Systems, Inc. Other companies in this market include Identix
Corp., Dynamic Imaging, Inc. and Epic Solutions, Inc. Printrak serves over 250
customers, including the Philadelphia Police Department. Internationally, there
are a number of local companies offering booking solutions in most countries.
Most competitors' products in this niche offer basic image capture and storage
but lack the functionality of investigative products, including facial
recognition and image editing and enhancement.

    We believe Face ID was the first facial recognition software produced and
sold to the law enforcement and public safety markets. As a result, we believe
it is the most widely recognized product in this niche, with the largest number
of installations. Identix Corp. has, through its subsidiary, developed products
with facial recognition capabilities.

    Suspect ID faces competition primarily from Smith and Wesson and
Faces, Inc. Some agencies continue to employ sketch artists who develop
hand-drawn composites from witness interviews. Smith and Wesson has supplied
"acetate foil overlay" products for over 30 years. This method of creating
suspect composites requires a user to overlay sheets of clear plastic with
different facial features in order to produce a full picture. This method is
still the most widely used method for creating suspect composites, but its use
has declined since the introduction of computerized composite systems.

    Crime Lab faces competition primarily from off-the-shelf image editing and
enhancement programs such as Photoshop from Adobe Systems. Photoshop is a well
known application, but was not specifically designed for the law enforcement and
public safety industry. As a result, it is not customized for use by law
enforcement agencies and cannot be easily integrated with other law enforcement
investigative software products.

    Vehicle ID is, to our knowledge, the only software product using digital
images of motor vehicles to help law enforcement agencies locate and identify
stolen vehicles or vehicles involved in crimes.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

    We rely on patents, trademarks, trade secret and copyright laws, and
confidentiality agreements to protect our intellectual property. We own two
United States patents that are important to our business strategy. Our patented
"Color Masking System" allows a user to manipulate selected colors of an image
without affecting other colors of the image. Our patented "Object Layering"
technology allows a user to save each element of an image as a separate layer so
that edits can be made to certain elements without affecting other elements or
having to re-create the entire image. Our patented object layering technology is
used in Suspect ID, Crime Lab and Vehicle ID, and our patented color masking
technology is used in Crime Lab. These patents expire in 2012 and 2013,
respectively. We have several unregistered and federally registered trademarks,
as well as trademarks for which there are pending trademark registrations with
the United States Patent & Trademark Office, including the following marks:

worldwide basis. Under the agreement with Excalibur, we can create our own
intellectual property as a derivative of the Excalibur technology. Our license
from Excalibur with respect to certain technology will expire on April 29, 2001,
while our license with respect to other technology expired on October 29, 1999.
Under the license with Excalibur, we are currently paying royalties at rates
equal to 10% and 25% of the net sales price of the product depending on the
category of Excalibur's technology which is incorporated into the specific
product being sold. We license search engine technology from Viisage
Technology, Inc. and Visionics, Inc. Our license from Viisage Technology is a
nonexclusive license for the United States and expires on December 31, 2000. The
royalties payable by us under the license from Viisage are $5,000 for searches
of up to 40,000 images and $0.17 per image beyond 40,000 images. Our license
from Visionics is on a nonexclusive, worldwide basis and expires in July 2001.
The royalties payable by us under the license are based upon the number of
images on the database and the number of clients accessing the server. As of
December 13, 1999, we were actively using the technology licensed from Visionics
in our products. We believe that, prior to expiration of the Visionics license,
we will be able to either enter into a new license agreement with Visionics,
obtain similar search engine technology from another third party or develop our
own technology.

    We also license certain of our technology to third parties. We entered into
a license agreement pursuant to which we granted Atlus Co., Ltd. an exclusive
license (except with respect to the license granted to American Photo
Booth, Inc.), for a one-time licensing fee of $1,961,039 received in 1997, to
use our patents and related technology in the entertainment photo booth market
and a nonexclusive license to use our patents and related technology in other
markets. The patents licensed to Atlus relate to only two of the six modules of
our C.R.I.M.E.S. suite of products, Suspect ID and Crime Lab. The remaining four
modules of the C.R.I.M.E.S. suite of products are not based on the patents or
technology which was the subject of this license agreement. The license
agreement also required that we first offer to Atlus, at a price and at terms
acceptable to us, the right to license all new technologies which we developed
before we could license such new technology to any third party. Atlus, in turn,
could only assign or sublicense its rights under the license agreement to an
affiliate or subsidiary of Atlus.

    As of June 30, 1999, we entered into a settlement agreement and release with
Atlus in which we assigned to Atlus certain patents that were previously subject
to the license agreement mentioned above. In turn, Atlus has given us perpetual,
nonexclusive licenses to such assigned patents to use for applications other
than photo booth entertainment applications. The settlement agreement modifies
the license agreement with Atlus in that those patents which were assigned to
Atlus are no longer subject to the license agreement, and Atlus is now able to
freely sublicense to third parties the patents and intellectual property which
is still subject to the license agreement.

    Pursuant to a license agreement with Panasonic Computer Peripheral Company,
Panasonic has the exclusive right to use our technology for the purpose of
bundling it with its motion printers and distributing the bundled product in the
United States and Canada. As of September 30, 1999, we had received payments
from Panasonic under this agreement of approximately $347,000, and Panasonic had
informed us that they have stopped using the technology for the time being. We
also granted to American Photo Booths Inc. a non-exclusive license to make and
sell entertainment photo booths using our "Color Masking" and "Object Layering"
technology pursuant to a Confidential License Agreement dated as of August 28,
1999. We do not receive royalties under this license agreement. We believe
certain of our patented technology may be currently used by third parties
without licenses from us and we intend to seek to enter into license agreements
with the parties similar to our arrangement with Panasonic.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

    Our research and development team is made up of 11 programmers, engineers
and other employees. We spent approximately $831,000 on research and development
in 1998 and $1.1 million in

                                       32
<PAGE>
the first nine months of 1999. We continually work to increase the speed and
accuracy of our existing suite of products. Our research and development efforts
will continue to focus on technology and products for the law enforcement and
public safety markets. We intend to use the proceeds of this offering to expand
our research and development efforts related to other markets as well.
Currently, our principal projects include:

    - Completing the development of the Crime Web product and enabling our
      existing products to allow facial images and associated data to be
      accessed over the Internet or an agency's Intranet.

    - Completing the development of our "Real Time" facial recognition
      application so that facial searches and resulting matches can be processed
      within seconds of initial image capture.

    - Adding wireless communications capabilities to our suite of products to
      allow for the transmissions of images and text between agencies and their
      officers in the field.

    - Developing a standard interface template to allow for easier integration
      of C.R.I.M.E.S. with the complementary applications of our strategic
      partners, such as jail management and record keeping programs.

EMPLOYEES

    As of December 13, 1999, we had a total of 48 full-time employees, including
nine in sales and marketing, 22 in customer support and installation, ten in
research and development and seven in administration. Our employees are not
covered by any collective bargaining agreement, and we have never experienced a
work stoppage. We believe that our relations with our employees are good.

FACILITIES

    We conduct our operations from a 16,000-square-foot facility located in San
Diego, California. The monthly rent for this facility is approximately $22,000.
This lease expires on July 31, 2003. We believe this facility will meet our
needs for the next three years and that additional space will be available on
reasonable terms upon the expiration of our current lease or in the event we
need to expand our facilities.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    We are not aware of any pending legal proceedings against us that,
individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations or financial condition.

- ------------------------

(1) Based on the estimated fair value of our common stock as of December 31,
    1998, determined by our Board of Directors to be $5.28 per share (as
    adjusted to reflect the 5.275-to-1 reverse stock split on November 29,
    1999).

STOCK OPTION PLANS

    We have three separate stock option plans: the 1994 Employee Stock Option
Plan, the 1994 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan, and the 1999 Stock Option Plan.

    The 1994 Employee Stock Option Plan is an incentive stock option plan which
authorizes us to issue options to purchase up to 170,616 shares of our common
stock to our officers and key employees. Under this plan, we have issued options
to purchase 165,118 shares at a weighted average exercise price of $5.275 per
share. The plan is administered by our Board of Directors. Subject to the
provisions of this plan, the Board determines who will receive options, the
number of options granted, the manner of exercise and the exercise price of the
options. The term of the options granted under the plan may not exceed ten
years, or five years for options granted to an optionee owning more than 10% of
our common stock. No options may be granted after August 31, 2004. The exercise
price of the options granted under this plan must be equal to or greater than
the fair market value of the shares of our common stock on the date the option
is granted or, in the case of options granted to an optionee owning more than
10% of our voting stock, at a price equal to or greater than 110% of the fair
market value of our common stock on the date the option is granted.

    The 1994 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan is a non-qualified stock option plan
which authorizes us to issue options to purchase up to 18,957 shares of our
common stock to our directors and consultants. Under this plan, we have issued
options to purchase 16,492 shares at an exercise price of $8.00. The plan is
administered by our Board of Directors. Subject to the provisions of this plan,
the Board

                                       36
<PAGE>
determines who will receive options, the number of options granted, the manner
of exercise and the exercise price of the options. The term of the options
granted under the plan may not exceed five years. No options may be granted
after August 31, 2004. The exercise price of the options granted under this plan
must be equal to or greater than 85% of the fair market value of the shares of
our common stock on the date the option is granted.

    The 1999 Stock Option Plan is a combined incentive and non-qualified stock
option plan which authorizes us to issue options to purchase up to 350,000
shares of our common stock. Under this plan, we have issued options to purchase
250,000 shares at $8.00 per share, including 75,000 options to Mr. Miller,
50,000 options to Mr. Wetherell and 50,000 options to Mr. Devermann. The plan is
administered by our Board of Directors. Subject to the provisions of this plan,
the Board determines who will receive options, the number of options granted,
the manner of exercise and the exercise price of the options. The term of the
options granted under the plan may not exceed ten years, or five years for
options granted to an optionee owning more than 10% of our voting stock. No
options may be granted after December 17, 2009. The exercise price of an
incentive stock option granted under this plan must be equal to or greater than
the fair market value of the shares of our common stock on the date the option
is granted. The exercise price of a non-qualified option granted under this plan
must be equal to or greater than 85% of the fair market value of the shares of
our common stock on the date the option is granted. In either case, an option
granted to an optionee owning more than 10% of our voting stock must have an
exercise price equal to or greater than 110% of the fair market value of our
common stock on the date the option is granted.

    In February 1999, all then-outstanding options were repriced so that the new
exercise price of these options became $5.28 per share (as adjusted to reflect
the 5.275-to-1 reverse stock split in November 1999).

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

    S. JAMES MILLER, JR.  In September 1997, we entered into an amended
employment agreement with Mr. Miller pursuant to which Mr. Miller will serve as
our President and Chief Executive Officer. This agreement is for an initial
three-year term ending December 31, 2001, which period is renewed annually on
January 1(st) of each year for a three-year term unless we give Mr. Miller
one-year prior notice of termination. This agreement provides for annual base
compensation in the amount of $155,000, which amount will be increased based on
cost-of-living increases, and a $750 per month auto allowance. Under this
agreement, we will reimburse Mr. Miller for reasonable expenses incurred in
connection with our business. If we terminate Mr. Miller's employment without
cause or if we move our principal offices out of San Diego, Mr. Miller will be
entitled to a lump sum amount equal to the full amount of his base salary for
the remainder of the term of the agreement. Upon a change in control of the
company or a material reduction of Mr. Miller's duties by the Board of
Directors, Mr. Miller may provide 30 days notice of the termination of his
employment and will be entitled to his entire unpaid base salary for the
remainder of the term of the agreement.

    WAYNE G. WETHERELL.  On March 1, 1999, we entered into an amended employment
agreement with Mr. Wetherell pursuant to which Mr. Wetherell will serve as our
Chief Financial Officer. This agreement is for a term ending April 30, 2002.
This agreement provides for annual base salary in the amount of $112,144, which
amount will be increased based on cost-of-living increases and may also be
increased based on performance reviews. Under this agreement, we will reimburse
Mr. Wetherell for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with our business.
If we terminate Mr. Wetherell's employment without cause, Mr. Wetherell will be
entitled to the full amount of his base salary for a period of one year after
termination. Upon a change in control of the company or a material reduction of
Mr. Wetherell's duties by the Board of Directors, Mr. Wetherell may provide

    PAUL J. DEVERMANN.  On March 1, 1999, we entered into an amended employment
agreement with Mr. Devermann pursuant to which Mr. Devermann will serve as our
Vice President, Sales and Business Development. This agreement is for a term
ending February 28, 2002. This agreement provides for annual base salary in the

increases and may also be increased based on performance reviews. Under this
agreement, we will reimburse Mr. Devermann for reasonable expenses incurred in
connection with our business. If we terminate Mr. Devermann's employment without
cause, Mr. Devermann will be entitled to a lump sum equal to the full amount of
his base salary for a period of one year after termination. Upon a change in
control of the company or a material reduction of Mr. Devermann's duties by the
Board of Directors, Mr. Deverman may provide 30 days notice of the termination
of his employment and will be entitled to his entire unpaid base salary for a
period of one year from the date of termination.

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

TRANSACTIONS WITH DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

    In connection with our acquisition of XImage in January 1998, we borrowed
$700,000 from Imperial Bank. On September 18, 1998, we borrowed an additional
$500,000 from Imperial Bank which has been paid in full. The maturity date of
the outstanding balance of the $700,000 loan has been extended until March 3,
2000. Both of the loans were personally guaranteed by Mr. Miller, Mr. Wetherell
and Mr. Devermann, and by William E. Guthner, one of our former directors. In
consideration of these guarantees, we issued to each of Mr. Miller,
Mr. Wetherell, Mr. Devermann and Mr. Guthner 27,014 shares of common stock,
warrants to purchase 3,317 shares of common stock at $15.825 per share, and
warrants to purchase 2,369 shares of common stock at $7.91 per share. These
guarantees will be released upon payment of the outstanding loan from Imperial
Bank. We intend to pay this loan in full with the proceeds of this offering.

    Mr. Miller loaned us $267,500 pursuant to the terms of a convertible note
dated June 15, 1995. The note provides for quarterly payments of interest at an
annual rate of 8%, with the entire amount due and payable on June 15, 2000. The
amount due under the note may be converted, at Mr. Miller's election, into units
comprised of shares of Series B Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase common
stock on the same terms as sold to our current Series B Preferred shareholders
in a 1995 private placement.

    As of September 30, 1999, we have an outstanding debt of approximately
$33,000 to Patrick J. Downs, a director of the company, pursuant to the terms of
a convertible note dated June 15, 1995. The note provides for quarterly payments
of interest at an annual rate of 8%, with the entire amount due and payable on
June 15, 2000. The amount due under the note may be converted, at Mr. Downs
election, into units comprised of shares of Series B Preferred Stock and
warrants to purchase common stock on the same terms as sold to our current
Series B Preferred shareholders in a 1995 private placement.

    We also have an outstanding debt of $55,000 to the Nossaman, Guthner,
Knox & Elliot Profit Sharing & Savings Plan dated April 1, 1969 for the benefit
of W.E. Guthner, Jr., our former director, pursuant to the terms of a promissory
note dated November 5, 1998. The note provides for interest to accrue at the
rate of 10% with a payment of principal and interest which was due on
January 31, 1999. This note is secured by a security agreement granting a
security interest in all of our assets. The William Guthner Estate has not
enforced its rights with respect to repayment of the note. We intend to repay
this obligation from the proceeds of this offering.

    We have entered into a letter agreement with Takenaka & Company LLC pursuant
to which Takenaka & Company has agreed to assist us in communicating with Atlus,
our largest shareholder. Pursuant to the terms of the letter agreement,
Takenaka & Company LLC will be compensated for its services on an hourly basis
ranging from $250 to $375 per hour depending on the level of experience of

                                       38
<PAGE>
the professional staff involved. Mr. Takenaka is the president of Takenaka &
Company LLC and one of our directors.

TRANSACTIONS WITH ATLUS CO., LTD.

    Atlus Co., Ltd., a Japanese corporation, owns approximately 31% of our
common stock. In conjunction with an investment by Atlus in March of 1997, we
entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and a License Agreement. The
License Agreement is described in "BUSINESS--Intellectual Property." The
Securities Purchase Agreement entitled Atlus to purchase, at the end of each
quarter until the date of an initial public offering of the our common stock,
the number of warrants to purchase shares of common stock at $21.10 per share
which, if exercised, would result in Atlus owning 33 1/3% of our outstanding
common stock at the end of such quarter. The warrants granted to Atlus were to
be exercisable for a period of five years after their date of issuance. Atlus
did not purchase any warrants under the Securities Purchase Agreement. The
Securities Purchase Agreement also granted to Atlus a right of first refusal to
participate, on a pro rata basis, in future securities offerings, and the right
to approve of (i) any changes to our Articles of Incorporation, (ii) our
obtaining a controlling interest in any other entity, (iii) the sale of any of
our intellectual property, (iv) any change in the nature of our business, or
(v) the encumbrance of any of our material assets. The Securities Purchase
Agreement with Atlus will be terminated effective upon the completion of this
offering.

TRANSACTION WITH PRESIDENT OF ATLUS

    Naoya Harano, the president of Atlus, loaned $1,250,000 to us pursuant to
the terms of a convertible promissory note dated November 10, 1999. The
convertible promissory note provides for payment upon the earlier of
February 10, 2001 or five days after the completion of this offering. The
repayment of the debt is in United States dollars, but the amount to be repaid
will be adjusted based upon the change in the exchange rate between the United
States dollar and the Japanese yen between the date of the promissory note and
the date of repayment. If the Convertible Promissory Note is not paid before
April 1, 2001, the holder may convert the outstanding balance due into our
common stock at $1.00 per share. The amount due under the convertible promissory
note accrues interest at the rate of 10% per year. In connection with this loan,
Mr. Harano received warrants to purchase 125,000 shares of our common stock
exercisable at $6.00 per share. These warrants are exercisable at any time after
January 1, 2001 and before November 10, 2004.

                           DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

    Upon completion of the offering, our authorized capital stock will consist
of (1) 50,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, $0.01 par value, and
(2) 4,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value, of which
there will be 2,655,482 shares of common stock and 389,400 shares of preferred
stock outstanding. The following description of our capital stock is a summary
and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the Amended and Restated
Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws, copies of which have been filed as
exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

UNITS

    Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one public warrant to
purchase an additional share of common stock. The common stock and warrants will
trade only as a unit for at least 30 days following this offering. The
representative of the underwriters will then determine when the units separate,
after which the common stock and the public warrants will trade separately.

COMMON STOCK

    Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all
matters submitted to a shareholder vote and, in the election of directors, may
upon proper notice cumulate their votes and cast them for one or more directors.
Holders of common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the Board of
Directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the
event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share
entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after
payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any,
having preference over the common stock.

    Holders of our common stock have no conversion, preemptive or other
subscription rights, and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our
common stock. The rights of the holders of common stock are subject to any
rights that may be fixed for holders of preferred stock. All outstanding shares
of common stock are, and the shares underlying all options and public warrants
will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable upon our
issuance of these shares.

PREFERRED STOCK

    The Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide for the issuance
of up to 750,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. As of the date of this
prospectus, there are 389,400 outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock.
The Series B Preferred Stock have rights and preferences which are superior to
the rights of the holders of our common stock. These rights and preferences
include the right to receive a cumulative cash dividend of $0.2125 per share, a
preference in the distribution of our assets over the holders of Common Stock in
event of the liquidation or dissolution of the company, the right to convert to
shares of common stock, and the right to elect a director in the event we are in
default of the provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation
with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock. Subject to certain limitations
prescribed by law and the rights and preferences of the Series B Preferred
Stock, our Board of Directors is authorized, without further shareholder
approval, from time to time to issue up to an aggregate of 3,610,600 shares of
our preferred stock, in one or more additional series. Each new series of
preferred stock may have different rights and preferences that may be
established by our Board of Directors.

    The rights and preferences of future series of preferred stock may include:

    - number of shares to be issued;

    - dividend rights and dividend rates;

    - right to convert the preferred stock into a different type of security;

    - voting rights attributable to the preferred stock;

                                       41
<PAGE>
    - right to receive preferential payments upon a liquidation of the company;

    - right to set aside a certain amount of assets for payments relating to the
      preferred stock; and

    - prices to be paid upon redemption of the preferred stock.

PUBLIC WARRANTS

    GENERAL

    Each public warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common
stock at an exercise price per share of 120% of the initial public offering
price of the units during the first year after the offering and 150% of the
initial public offering price of the units thereafter. The exercise price is
subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events as provided in the
public warrant certificate and summarized below. Our public warrants may be
exercised at any time during the period commencing 30 days after this offering
and ending on the fifth anniversary date of the closing of the offering, which
is the expiration date. Those of our public warrants which have not previously
been exercised will expire on the expiration date. A public warrant holder will
not be deemed to be a holder of the underlying common stock for any purpose
until the public warrant has been properly exercised.

    SEPARATE TRANSFERABILITY

    Our public warrants will trade only as a unit for a period of at least 30
days following this offering. The representative of the underwriters will then
determine when the units separate, after which the common stock and the public
warrants will trade separately.

    REDEMPTION

    We have the right, commencing six months after the closing of this offering,
to redeem the public warrants issued in the offering at a redemption price of
$0.25 per public warrant after providing 30 days prior written notice to the
public warrant holders, if the average closing bid price of the common stock
equals or exceeds 200% of the initial public offering price of the units for ten
consecutive trading days ending prior to the date of the notice of redemption.
We will send the written notice of redemption by first class mail to public
warrant holders at their last known addresses appearing on the registration
records maintained by the transfer agent for our public warrants. No other form
of notice or publication or otherwise will be required. If we call the public
warrants for redemption, they will be exercisable until the close of business on
the business day next preceding the specified redemption date.

    EXERCISE

    A public warrant holder may exercise our public warrants only if an
appropriate registration statement is then in effect with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and if the shares of common stock underlying our public
warrants are qualified for sale under the securities laws of the state in which
the holder resides.

    Our public warrants may be exercised by delivering to our transfer agent the
applicable public warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date or the
redemption date, as applicable, with the form on the reverse side of the
certificate executed as indicated, accompanied by payment of the full exercise
price for the number of public warrants being exercised. Fractional shares will
not be issued upon exercise of our public warrants.

    ADJUSTMENTS OF EXERCISE PRICE

    The exercise price is subject to adjustment if we (i) declare any stock
dividend to shareholders, or (ii) effect any split or share combination with
respect to our common stock. Therefore, if we effect any stock split or stock
combination with respect to our common stock, the exercise price in effect
immediately prior to such stock split or combination will be proportionately
reduced or increased, as

                                       42
<PAGE>
the case may be. Any adjustment of the exercise price will also result in an
adjustment of the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of a public warrant
or, if we elect, an adjustment of the number of public warrants outstanding.

PRIOR WARRANTS

    As of the date of this prospectus, we had issued and outstanding warrants to
purchase 328,662 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price
of $9.02, the forms of which have been filed as exhibits to the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part. These warrants include warrants
issued to Imperial Bank to purchase 13,586 shares of our common stock. These
warrants grant to Imperial Bank the right to require us to purchase such
warrants from Imperial Bank for $70,000 on or after January 15, 2001 or within
20 days after a merger, consolidation or sale of assets of the company or the
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the company.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

    GENERAL

    We have granted certain registration rights with respect to 503,884 of our
securities. We will pay for all expenses incurred in connection with these
registrations, other than underwriting discounts and commissions. The following
is only a summary of certain of the terms and conditions of the agreements
involving parties which have registration rights. Copies of the actual
agreements have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as
exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
Substantially all of the holders of registration rights have not waived such
registration rights.

    GRANTED TO THE SERIES B PREFERRED SHAREHOLDERS IN A 1995 PRIVATE PLACEMENT

    We granted demand and incidental registration rights to our Series B
Preferred shareholders with respect to the shares underlying the Series B
Preferred shares and warrants issued to them in connection with the 1995 private
placement of our Series B units. Holders of Series B Preferred shares may demand
to have our common stock underlying their Series B Preferred shares registered
at any time after completion of this offering and before April 30, 2000. The
Series B warrants have expired. Additionally, if we register an issuance of any
of our equity securities, other than shares issuable under employee stock option
plans, at any time prior to April 30, 2000, the Series B Preferred shareholders
may request that such underlying common stock be included in the registration.

    GRANTED TO ATLUS

    We also granted demand and incidental registration rights to Atlus with
respect to all shares held by Atlus pursuant to the Securities Purchase
Agreement with Atlus. The Securities Purchase Agreement with Atlus will be
terminated effective upon the completion of this offering.

    GRANTED TO FORMER XIMAGE SHAREHOLDERS

    The former XImage shareholders have also been granted demand and incidental
registration rights with respect to shares underlying the warrants held by them.
The holders of a majority of all registrable securities owned by these
shareholders may demand registration for the resale of any or all of their
shares at any time after this offering and before November 30, 2003.
Additionally, if we register an issuance of our equity securities, other than
shares issuable under our employee stock option plans at any time prior to
November 30, 2003, these holders may request to include their shares in the
registration.

                                       43
<PAGE>
    GRANTED TO FORMER XIMAGE OFFICERS, NOTEHOLDERS AND OTHER INVESTORS

    We have also granted certain former XImage officers, noteholders and other
investors "piggyback" registration rights under which they can request to be
included in a registration of our securities (other than a registration of
shares issuable under an employee stock option plan).

    GRANTED TO OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND OTHER PARTIES

    Mr. Miller, Mr. Wetherell, Mr. Devermann and the William Guthner estate have
the same registration rights as the former XImage Shareholders described above.
Mr. Miller and Mr. Wetherell have agreed not to make a demand for registration
for a period of at least one year after this offering.

    Mr. Miller and Mr. Downs also have registration rights with respect to their
convertible promissory notes. These registration rights are identical to the
registration rights which have been granted to the Series B Preferred
shareholders as described above.

    William Guthner and related parties converted their convertible promissory
notes in December 1997 into shares of Series B Preferred Stock and warrants to
purchase common stock. The registration rights granted to these parties, which
apply to the shares and warrants they received upon conversion of their
convertible notes, are identical to the registration rights which have been
granted to the Series B Preferred shareholders as described above.

    GRANTED TO IMPERIAL BANK

    In January 1998 and September 1998, in connection with the credit line
extended to us, we granted demand and incidental registration rights to Imperial
Bank with respect to shares of common stock underlying the warrants held by
Imperial Bank. Imperial Bank has the same registration rights as the Series B
Preferred shareholders in the 1995 Private Placement described above.

    GRANTED TO PAULSON

    We have entered into a warrant agreement with Paulson Investment
Company, Inc. as representative of the underwriters of this offering. These
representative's warrants, as well as the shares of common stock and warrants
included in the units issuable upon exercise of the representative's warrants,
are being registered on the registration statement of which this prospectus is a
part. We will cause the registration statement to remain effective until the
earlier of the time that all of the representative's warrants have been
exercised and the date which is five years after the effective date of the
offering. The common stock and warrants issued to the representative upon
exercise of these warrants will be freely tradable. All expenses incurred in
connection with the registration of the shares of common stock and warrants
included in the units issuable upon the exercise of the representatives'
warrants will be borne by us. Under the warrant agreement, the parties will also
be bound by standard indemnification and contribution provisions with respect to
the registration of the warrant shares issuable upon the exercise of the
representative's warrants.

    GRANTED TO R SQUARED LIMITED

    In connection with a loan made to us, R Squared Limited has also been
granted the right to include their shares in any registration made by us.

    GRANTED TO THE PRESIDENT OF ATLUS

    In connection with a loan made to us, Mr. Harano has been issued warrants to
purchase common stock. Mr. Harano has been granted the same demand and
incidental registration rights with respect the common stock underlying these
warrants as we have granted to the former XImage shareholders.

TRANSFER AGENT AND PUBLIC WARRANT AGENT

    The transfer agent for our common stock and public warrants is American
Securities Transfer & Trust, Inc., Denver, Colorado.

                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

THIS OFFERING

    Upon completion of the offering, we expect to have 2,655,482 shares of
common stock outstanding, assuming no exercise of outstanding options or
warrants, or 2,880,482 shares if the underwriters' over-allotment is exercised
in full. Of these shares, the 1,500,000 shares of common stock issued as part of
the units sold in the offering will be freely tradeable without restrictions or
further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, except that any shares
purchased by our "affiliates", as that term is defined under the Securities Act,
may generally only be sold in compliance with the limitations of Rule 144 under
the Securities Act. The 1,500,000 shares of common stock underlying the public
warrants issued as part of the units sold in this offering will also be freely
tradeable, except for shares purchased by our affiliates.

OUTSTANDING RESTRICTED STOCK

    The remaining 1,155,482 outstanding shares of common stock are restricted
securities within the meaning of Rule 144 and may not be sold in the absence of
registration under the Securities Act unless an exemption from registration is
available, including the exemption from registration offered by Rule 144.
Holders of 553,720 of our outstanding restricted shares of common stock have
agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of any of their shares of common stock
for a period of one year after completion of the offering, without the prior
written consent of Paulson Investment Company, Inc., subject to certain limited
exceptions. Prior to the expiration of this lock-up period, 601,762 shares of
our outstanding restricted common stock may be sold in the public market
pursuant to Rule 144. After the expiration of this lock-up period, or earlier
with the prior written consent of Paulson Investment Company, Inc., all
1,155,482 of these outstanding restricted shares may be sold in the public
market pursuant to Rule 144.

    In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, beginning 90 days after
the date of this prospectus, a person who has beneficially owned restricted
shares for at least one year, including a person who may be deemed to be our
affiliate, may sell within any three-month period a number of shares of common
stock that does not exceed a specified maximum number of shares. This maximum is
equal to the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock or
the average weekly trading volume in the common stock during the four calendar
weeks immediately preceding the sale. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to
restrictions relating to manner of sale, notice and availability of current
public information about us. In addition, under Rule 144(k) of the Securities
Act, a person who is not our affiliate, has not been an affiliate of ours within
three months prior to the sale and has beneficially owned shares for at least
two years would be entitled to sell such shares immediately without regard to

Rule 144.

SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK

    As of December 13, 1999, we had 389,400 shares of Series B Preferred Stock
outstanding. These shares, plus accrued but unpaid dividends, are convertible at
the option of the holders into an aggregate of approximately 86,982 shares of
our common stock. Any shares issued upon the conversion of the Series B
Preferred Stock will be eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144.

OPTIONS

    Beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, certain shares issued
or issuable upon the exercise of options granted by us prior to the date of this
prospectus will also be eligible for sale in the public market pursuant to
Rule 701 under the Securities Act of 1933, except that 184,715 of these shares
are subject to the lock up agreements discussed under "Outstanding restricted
stock" above. Pursuant to Rule 701, persons who purchase shares upon exercise of
options granted under a written compensatory plan or contract may sell such
shares in reliance on Rule 144 without having to comply with the holding period
requirements of Rule 144, and in the case of non-affiliates, without having to
comply with the public information, volume limitation or notice provisions of
Rule 144. As of December 13, 1999, we had options outstanding to purchase
431,610 shares of common stock which have not been exercised and which become
exercisable at various times in the future. Any shares issued upon the exercise
of these options will be eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 701.

    We intend to file registration statements on Form S-8 under the Securities
Act to register approximately 107,962 shares of our common stock issuable under
our stock option plans. These registration statements are expected to be filed
within three to six months after the completion of this offering. Shares of our
common stock issued upon the exercise of stock options after the effective date
of the Form S-8 registration statements will be eligible for resale in the
public market without restriction, subject to Rule 144 limitations and the
lock-up agreements discussed under "Outstanding restricted stock" above.

WARRANTS

    As of December 13, 1999, we had warrants outstanding to purchase 328,662
shares of common stock which have not been exercised and which become
exercisable at various times in the future. Any shares issued upon the exercise
of these warrants will be eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144, except that
37,914 of these shares are subject to the lock-up agreements discussed under
"Outstanding restricted stock" above.

REPRESENTATIVE'S WARRANTS

    In connection with the offering, we have agreed to issue to the
representatives of the underwriters warrants to purchase 150,000 units. This
number is equal to 10% of the number of units being offered by this prospectus,
excluding over-allotment shares. The representatives' warrants will be
exercisable into units at any time during the four-year period commencing one
year after the effective date of the offering. We will cause the registration
statement to remain effective until the earlier of the time that all of the
representative's warrants have been exercised and the date which is five years
after the effective date of the offering. The common stock and warrants issued
to the representatives upon exercise of these warrants will be freely tradable.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

    As of December 13, 1999, holders of approximately 503,844 shares of our
outstanding or issuable common stock had the right to include their shares in
registration statements relating to our securities or to require us to register
their shares. Mr. Miller, Mr. Wetherell and Mr. Downs, which hold 42,944 of
these shares, have agreed to waive these registration rights for a period of one
year after this offering or shorter as determined by Paulson Investment
Company, Inc. Holders of registration rights may cause the price of our common
stock to fall by exercising their registration rights and causing a large number
of shares to be registered and sold in the public market. In addition, any
demand for future registration of these shares could have a material adverse
effect on our ability to raise needed capital. Please see "Description of
Securities--Registration rights."

                                  UNDERWRITING

    We and the underwriters named below have entered into an underwriting
agreement with respect to the units being offered. Subject to certain
conditions, the underwriters named below, for whom Paulson Investment
Company, Inc. is acting as representative, have severally agreed to purchase,
and we have agreed to sell to them in connection with this offering, the number
of units set forth opposite the names of such underwriters below:

<TABLE>

                                                                 ---------
  Total.....................................................
</TABLE>

    The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriters are obligated to
purchase all of the units offered by this prospectus (other than those covered
by the over-allotment option) if any are purchased. The underwriting agreement
also provides that the obligations of the several underwriters to pay for and
accept delivery of the units offered hereby are subject to the approval of
certain legal matters by counsel and certain other conditions, including the
conditions that no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration
statement is in effect and that no proceedings for such purpose have been
instituted or threatened by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

    The underwriters have advised us that they propose to offer our units to the
public initially at the offering price set forth on the cover page of this
prospectus and to selected dealers at such price less a concession of not more
than $    per unit. The underwriters and selected dealers may reallow a
concession to other dealers, including the underwriters, of not more than $
per unit. After completion of the initial public offering of the units, the
offering price, the concessions to selected dealers and the reallowance to their
dealers may be changed by the underwriters.

    The underwriters have informed us that they do not expect to confirm sales
of our units offered by this prospectus to any accounts over which they exercise
discretionary authority.

    OVER-ALLOTMENT OPTION

    Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, we have granted to the
representative an option, exercisable for 45 days from the date of this
prospectus, to purchase up to an additional 225,000 units on the same terms as
the units being purchased by the underwriters from us. The representative may
exercise the option solely to cover over-allotments, if any, in the sale of the
units that the underwriters have agreed to purchase. If the over-allotment
option is exercised in full, the total public offering price, underwriting
discounts and commissions, and proceeds to the company before offering expenses
will be $15,525,000, $1,397,250 and $14,127,750, respectively based upon an
initial public offering price of $9.00 per unit.

    STABILIZATION

    Until the distribution of the units offered by this prospectus is completed,
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission may limit the ability of the
underwriters to bid for and purchase units. As an exception to these rules, the
underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize the price of the units.
The representative on behalf of the underwriters may engage in over-allotment
sales, stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty
bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

    - Over-allotment involves syndicate sales in excess of the offering size,
      which creates a syndicate short position.

                                       47
<PAGE>
    - Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security
      so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.

    - Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the common stock and
      public warrants in the open market after the distribution has been
      completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. The underwriters
      may also elect to reduce any short position by exercising all or part of
      the over-allotment option to purchase additional units as described above.

    - Penalty bids permit the representative to reclaim a selling concession
      from a syndicate member when the units originally sold by the syndicate
      member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover
      syndicate short positions.

    In general, the purchase of a security to stabilize or to reduce a short
position could cause the price of the security to be higher than it might be
otherwise. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or
otherwise. Neither we nor the underwriters can predict the direction or
magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the
price of the units. In addition, neither we nor the underwriters can represent
that the underwriters will engage in these types of transactions or that these
types of transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

    INDEMNIFICATION

    The underwriting agreement provides for indemnification between us and the
underwriters against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act, and for contribution by us and the underwriters to payments that
may be required to be made with respect to those liabilities. We have been
advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

    EXPENSE ALLOWANCE

    We have agreed to pay the underwriters' representative a nonaccountable
expense allowance equal to two percent of the gross proceeds from the sale of
the units offered by this prospectus, of which $35,000 has already been paid.

    REPRESENTATIVE'S WARRANTS

    We have agreed to issue warrants to the representative to purchase from us
up to 150,000 units at an exercise price per unit equal to 120% of the offering
price per unit. These warrants are exercisable during the four-year period
beginning one year from the date of effectiveness of the registration statement
of which this prospectus is a part. These warrants are not transferable for one
year from the date of issuance, except to an individual who is either a partner
or an officer of an underwriter, by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution and are not redeemable. These warrants will have registration
rights. We will cause the registration statement to remain effective until the
earlier of the time that all of the representative's warrants have been
exercised and the date which is five years after the effective date of the
offering. The common stock and warrants issued to the representative upon
exercise of these warrants will be freely tradable.

    The holder of the representative's warrant will have, in that capacity, no
voting, dividend or other shareholder rights. Any profit realized by the
representative on the sale of the securities issuable upon exercise of the
representative's warrant may be deemed to be additional underwriting
compensation. The securities underlying the representative's warrant are being
registered on the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
During the term of the representative's warrant, the holder thereof is given the
opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of our common stock. We
may find it

                                       48
<PAGE>
more difficult to raise additional equity capital while the representative's
warrant is outstanding. At any time at which the representative's warrant is
likely to be exercised, we may be able to obtain additional equity capital on
more favorable terms.

    LOAN BY CHESTER PAULSON

    Chester L.F. Paulson, the chairman and indirect majority shareholder of
Paulson Investment Company, Inc., loaned $500,000 to us pursuant to a promissory
note and loan agreement dated November 24, 1999. Mr. Paulson has borrowed the
$500,000 which he has loaned to us from U.S. Bank National Association. Paulson
Investment Company, Inc. has agreed to indemnify Mr. Paulson against any default
by us. We are paying Paulson Investment Company, Inc. a $75,000 fee for
guaranteeing the loan.

    We must repay the loan to Mr. Paulson upon the earlier of a demand for
payment by U.S. Bank, the completion of this offering, or April 3, 2000. If we
are unable to repay the loan, Paulson Investment Company, Inc. is entitled to
receive warrants to purchase one share of our common stock for each dollar which
Mr. Paulson must repay to U.S. Bank. If this offering is not completed, we must
offer to pay Paulson Investment Company, Inc. from the proceeds of any other
financing in excess of $575,000 which we complete prior to December 31, 2000.
Upon our offer of repayment, Paulson Investment Company, Inc. may either accept
such repayment and surrender the warrants issued to him or keep the warrants in
which case we will have no further obligations to Mr. Paulson under the
promissory note or loan agreement. The amount due under the promissory note
accrues interest at the same variable rate of interest which Mr. Paulson must
pay U.S. Bank, which is based on the prime lending rate. The initial interest
rate is 9%.

    LOCK-UP AGREEMENT

    Our officers, directors and certain of our shareholders also have agreed
that, for a period of one year from the date this registration statement becomes
effective, they will not sell, contract to sell, grant any option for the sale
or otherwise dispose of any of our equity securities, or any securities
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our equity securities (other
than intra-family transfers or transfers to trusts for estate planning purposes)
without the consent of Paulson Investment Company, Inc., as representative of
the underwriters, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

    DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

    Before this offering, there has been no public market for the units and the
common stock and public warrants contained in the units. Accordingly, the
initial public offering price of the units offered by this prospectus and the
exercise price of the public warrants were determined by negotiation between us
and the underwriters. Among the factors considered in determining the initial
public offering price of the units and the exercise price of the public warrants
were:

    - our history and our prospects,

    - the industry in which we operate,

    - the status and development prospects for our proposed products and
      services,

    - our past and present operating results,

    - the previous experience of our executive officers, and

    - the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this
      offering.

    The offering price stated on the cover page of this prospectus should not be
considered an indication of the actual value of the units. That price is subject
to change as a result of market conditions and other factors, and we cannot
assure you that the units, or the common stock and public warrants contained in
the units, can be resold at or above the initial public offering price.

                                 LEGAL MATTERS

    The validity of the securities being offered hereby will be passed upon on
our behalf by Luce, Forward, Hamilton & Scripps LLP, 600 West Broadway, Suite

underwriters by Tonkon Torp LLP, 1600 Pioneer Tower, 888 SW Fifth Avenue,

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors of
  ImageWare Systems, Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related
consolidated statements of operations, of shareholders' equity (deficit) and of
cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
ImageWare Systems, Inc. and its subsidiary at December 31, 1998 and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years ended December
31, 1997 and 1998 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management;
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

As discussed in Note 1, the Company has recurring losses from operations and
significant negative working capital at December 31, 1998. Until sufficient
revenues are generated, the Company will be required to obtain additional
financing to meet cash and working capital requirements. There can be no
assurance that additional financing will be available.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1998

1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

    ImageWare Systems, Inc. (the "Company"), formerly known as ImageWare
    Software, Inc., was incorporated in the State of California on February 6,
    1987 for the purpose of developing, manufacturing and distributing products
    utilizing electronic imaging technology. The Company has developed the Crime
    Reduction, Image Management and Enhancement System ("C.R.I.M.E.S.") and
    several related products which are being marketed to law enforcement
    agencies throughout the United States.

    The Company has incurred losses of $400,481 and $3,434,060 for the years
    ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. Additionally, the Company
    has a net loss of $2,433,100 (unaudited) for the nine months ended September
    30, 1999. The Company also has significant working capital deficiencies as
    of December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1999.

    The Company will be required to generate sufficient cash flow from increased
    revenues or additional financing in order to meet its obligations on a
    timely basis. However, there can be no assurance that additional financing
    will be available or that an increase in revenues will improve the Company's
    current financial condition.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
    and its wholly-owned subsidiary which was acquired on January 26, 1998 (see
    Note 3). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
    eliminated.

    UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL DATA

    The unaudited interim financial statements for the nine months ended
    September 30, 1998 and 1999 have been prepared on the same basis as the
    audited financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all
    adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to
    present fairly the financial information set forth therein, in accordance
    with generally accepted accounting principles. The data disclosed in the
    notes to the financial statements for these interim periods is unaudited.
    Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
    operating results for an entire year.

    USE OF ESTIMATES

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
    accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
    assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
    disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
    statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the
    reporting period. Actual results could differ from estimates.

    PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

    Property and equipment, consisting of furniture and equipment, are stated at
    cost and are being depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated
    useful lives of the assets, which range from

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                           DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1998

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

    three to five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as
    incurred. Major renewals or improvements are capitalized. When assets are
    sold or abandoned, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed
    from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recognized.

    Long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment
    whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
    amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company has recorded no
    impairment losses.

    INTANGIBLE ASSETS

    Intangible assets consist of patents and goodwill which are stated at cost.
    Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over five years
    for patents and four years for goodwill.

    CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

    Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
    concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts
    receivable. Sales are typically made on credit and the Company generally
    does not require collateral. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations
    of its customers' financial condition and maintains an allowance for
    estimated potential losses. Accounts receivable are presented net of an
    allowance for doubtful accounts of $10,000 at December 31, 1998 and
    September 30, 1999.

    For the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company received license revenue
    of $1,961,000, or 68% of total revenues, from one customer. The Company had
    combined sales to two major customers which represented 30% and 24%
    (unaudited) of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 1998 and for
    the nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively.

    As of December 31, 1998, the Company had amounts due from three major
    customers which represented 41% of total accounts receivable. As of
    September 30, 1999, the Company had amounts due from four major customers
    which represented 31% (unaudited) of total accounts receivable.

    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

    The Company measures compensation costs related to stock option plans using
    the intrinsic value method and provides pro forma disclosures of net income
    (loss) and earnings (loss) per common share as if the fair value based
    method had been applied in measuring compensation costs. Accordingly,
    compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of
    the fair value of the Company's common stock at the date of measurement over
    the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock and is amortized over
    the vesting period, generally three years.

    INCOME TAXES

    Current income tax expense or benefit is the amount of income taxes expected
    to be payable or refundable for the current year. A deferred income tax
    asset or liability is computed for the expected future impact of differences
    between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

    liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax
    credits and loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a
    valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely
    than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
    realized.

    REVENUE RECOGNITION

    The Company's revenue from periodic software license and maintenance
    agreements is generally recognized ratably over the respective license
    periods. The Company's revenue from software and hardware installation and
    implementation and from contract services is generally recognized as the
    services are performed using the percentage of completion method based on
    costs incurred to date compared to total estimated costs at completion.
    Amounts received under contracts in advance of performance are recorded as
    deferred revenue and are generally recognized within one year from receipt.
    Contract losses are recorded as a charge to income in the period such losses
    are first identified. Unbilled accounts receivable are stated at estimated
    realizable value. Revenue from contract services for which the Company
    cannot reliably estimate total costs are recognized upon completion.

    Revenue from royalties is recognized in the period earned.

    CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE COSTS

    Software development costs incurred prior to the establishment of
    technological feasibility are charged to research and development expense as
    incurred. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of a
    working model. Software development costs incurred subsequent to the time a
    product's technological feasibility has been established, through the time
    the product is available for general release to customers, are capitalized
    if material. To date, the Company has not capitalized any software costs as
    the period between achieving technological feasibility and the general
    availability of the related products has been short and software development
    costs qualifying for capitalization have been insignificant.

    EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

    Effective November 29, 1999, the Company declared a 5.275-for-1 reverse
    stock split of common stock. All references to the number of shares, per
    share amounts, conversion amounts and stock option data of the Company's
    common stock have been restated to reflect this reverse stock split for all
    periods presented.

    Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss)
    available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted-average
    number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per
    common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common
    shareholders for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares
    outstanding during the period, increased to include, if dilutive, the number
    of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the
    potential common shares had been issued. The dilutive effect of outstanding
    stock options is included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common
    share using the treasury stock method. During the years ended December 31,
    1997

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

    and 1998, and for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999, the
    Company has excluded all convertible preferred stock and outstanding stock
    options from the calculation of diluted loss per share, as their effect
    would have been antidilutive.

    The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per
    share:

    COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

    Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, REPORTING
    COMPREHENSIVE INCOME. This statement requires that all components of
    comprehensive income be reported in the financial statements in the period
    in which they are recognized. During the years ended December 31, 1997 and
    1998, and for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999, the Company
    did not have any components of comprehensive income.

    SEGMENT INFORMATION

    Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, DISCLOSURES
    ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION. This statement
    requires disclosure of certain information about the Company's operating
    segments, products, geographic areas in which it operates and its major
    customers. This statement also allows a company to aggregate similar
    segments for reporting purposes. Management has determined that its
    operations can be aggregated into one reportable segment. Additionally, as
    the Company's products are sold primarily within the U.S., no segment
    disclosures have been included in the accompanying notes to the consolidated
    financial statements.

    RECLASSIFICATIONS

    Certain reclassifications were made to prior years' consolidated financial
    statements to conform to the current year presentation.

3.  ACQUISITION

    On January 26, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of all the
    outstanding common stock of XImage Corporation ("XImage") located in San
    Jose, California. XImage's principal business activity is the design,
    implementation and maintenance of digital booking systems.

    The Company paid approximately $2,150,000 in cash and incurred approximately
    $310,000 in direct acquisition costs. The acquisition was accounted for as a
    purchase with goodwill being amortized over four years.

    The purchase price was allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities
    based on their estimated fair values, with the excess of the purchase price
    over the fair value of such net liabilities acquired reflected as goodwill,
    as follows:

    warrants was calculated using the minimum value method and was determined to
    be de minimis. In August 1999, the note plus accrued interest was converted
    into 120,944 shares of common stock.

    In August 1999, the Company issued two $100,000 promissory notes at prime
    plus 2%. Principal and interest was due September 28, 1999 and October 1,
    1999 with a 30-day extension option. The Company has exercised the 30-day
    extension options in exchange for warrants to acquire 10,000 shares of
    common stock at $7.91 per share. In October 1999, the Company made a
    principal payment of $20,000 on one of the promissory notes, and in November
    1999 paid off the remaining balance on that note.

    In September 1999, the Company issued a promissory note for $50,000 due June
    15, 2000 to an employee with interest at 8%, convertible into common stock
    at $7.91 at the option of the holder. The note automatically converts upon
    an initial public offering of the Company's common stock.

    In November 1999, the Company issued a convertible promissory note for
    $1,250,000 at an interest rate of 10%, due the earlier of February 10, 2001
    or five days following the closing of an IPO, to an individual affiliated
    with Atlus Co. (which owns approximately 31% of the Company's common shares
    outstanding). Under the terms of the note, the principal amount is fixed in
    Japanese yen and shall be repaid in U.S. dollars at a fixed (104.55 Japanese
    yen per U.S. dollar) conversion rate established on the date of issuance. If
    the principal and interest has not been paid prior to June 1, 2000, the note
    becomes convertible to common stock at $1.00 per share. In conjunction with
    the note, the Company issued the individual a warrant to purchase 125,000
    shares of common stock for $6.00 per share. The Company will record the note
    net of a discount equal to the fair value of the beneficial conversion
    feature of the note and the warrants issued.

    In November 1999, the Company issued a $500,000 note to a third party with
    interest payable monthly beginning on December 15, 1999. The note is due at
    the earlier of (i) any written or oral demand by lender, (ii) the closing of
    borrower's initial public offering or (iii) April 3, 2000.

    In November 1999, the maturity date for the remaining $500,000 balance of
    the note to financial institution was extended to March 3, 2000.
    Additionally, approximately $800,000 in notes to shareholders and XImage
    employees, officers and shareholders were revised to include payments
    through November 2000.

    In December 1999, the $140,000 of short-term notes to shareholders and other
    related parties, plus accrued interest, were converted into 20,919 shares of
    common stock.

    At December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1999, approximately $0 and $320,000
    (unaudited), respectively, of notes payable were in default for non-payment.

6.  INCOME TAXES

    Due to the Company's net loss position for the year ended December 31, 1998
    and for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and as the company has
    recorded a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, there was
    no provision for income taxes recorded.

    The provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 1997 consists
    of a 10% foreign tax withholding from certain license income earned under a
    license agreement with a Japanese shareholder.

</TABLE>

    The Company has established a valuation allowance against its deferred tax
    asset due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of such asset.
    Management periodically evaluates the recoverability of the deferred tax
    asset. At such time as it is determined that it is more likely than not that
    deferred tax assets are realizable, the valuation allowance will be reduced.

    At December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1999, the Company had federal net
    operating loss carryforwards of approximately $10,400,000 and $12,500,000
    (unaudited), respectively, and state net operating loss carryforwards of
    approximately $4,900,000 and $4,200,000 (unaudited), respectively, which may
    be available to offset future taxable income for tax purposes. The federal
    net operating loss carryforwards expire at various dates from 2003 through
    2019. The California net operating loss carryforwards expire at various
    dates through 2004.

6.  INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

    The Company also had federal research tax credit carryforwards of
    approximately $226,000 and $280,000 (unaudited) and state research tax
    credit carryforwards of approximately $122,000 and $167,000 (unaudited) for
    tax purposes at December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1999, respectively.
    These carryforwards will begin expiring, if unused, in 2005.

    The Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") limits the availability of income tax
    net operating losses and certain tax credits that arose prior to certain
    cumulative changes in a corporation's ownership resulting in a change of
    control of the Company. The Company's use of its net operating loss
    carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards will be significantly limited
    because the Company underwent "ownership changes" in 1991, 1995 and 1997.
    Net operating loss carryforwards, which are subject to a limitation of
    $165,000 per annum with respect to amounts generated through 1991, $411,000
    per annum for amounts generated between 1991 and 1995, and $748,000 per
    annum for amounts generated between 1995 and 1997, can be used to offset
    taxable income. Net operating losses and tax credits that are unavailable in
    any year as a consequence of this limitation may be carried forward for
    future use subject to the restrictions of the Code.

7.  COMMITMENTS

8.  EQUITY

    The Company's Articles of Incorporation were amended effective August 31,
    1994 and authorize the issuance of two classes of stock to be designated
    "Common Stock" and "Preferred Stock," provide that both Common and Preferred
    Stock shall have a par value of $.01 per share and authorize the Company to
    issue 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 4,000,000 shares of Preferred
    Stock. The Preferred Stock may be divided into such number of series and
    with the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions as the Board of
    Directors may determine.

    COMMON STOCK

    Effective November 29, 1999, the Company declared a 5.275-for-1 reverse
    stock split of common stock. All references to the number of shares, per
    share amounts, conversion amounts and stock option data of the Company's
    common stock have been restated to reflect this reverse stock split for all
    periods presented.

    In March 1997, the Company completed a transaction with a foreign investor
    whereby the Company issued 34,058 shares of common stock at a price of
    $15.83 per share. Contingent on the Company meeting certain targets, the
    investor was required to purchase an additional 157,978 shares of common
    stock at $15.83 per share. The specified targets were not met. In November
    1997, the investor purchased the additional 157,978 shares of common stock
    at $15.83 per share. In December 1997, the same foreign investor purchased,
    from the holders, $500,000 of 8% convertible notes which were subsequently
    converted into 200,000 shares of common stock at $13.19 per share.

    During 1998, the Company issued 44,866 shares of common stock to certain
    officers and directors as compensation for personally guaranteeing the
    $1,200,000 bank note.

    SERIES B CONVERTIBLE, REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

    In April 1995, the Company's Articles of Incorporation were amended to
    authorize 750,000 shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock
    ("Series B").

                           DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1998

8.  EQUITY (CONTINUED)

    The holders of Series B are entitled to cumulative preferred dividends
    payable at the rate of $0.2125 per share per annum commencing April 30,
    1996, subject to legally available funds. The Series B plus accrued but
    unpaid dividends are convertible at the option of the holder into shares of
    common stock at a conversion price equal to the original Series B issue
    price as adjusted to prevent dilution. The Series B will automatically be
    converted into shares of common stock upon the closing of a firm commitment
    underwritten public offering at a price per common share of not less than
    $31.65. If the public offering price is less than $31.65 but at least $21.10
    per share, the conversion shall still be automatic upon written consent of a
    majority of the then outstanding shareholders of Series B.

    The Series B, on an as-converted basis, have the same voting rights per
    share as the Company's common shares. The Series B are entitled to initial
    distributions of $13.19 per share, upon liquidation and in preference to
    common shares and any other series of preferred stock, except Series A, plus
    all accrued but unpaid dividends.

    Any time after December 31, 2000, the Company has the right to redeem all or
    some of the outstanding shares of Series B at a price equal to the original
    issue price, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends.

    As of December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1999, the Company had cumulative
    undeclared dividends of $94,825 and $156,885 (unaudited), respectively.

    In December 1997, an existing shareholder and holder of a note exercised his
    right in accordance with the terms of the note to convert the note to 48,400
    shares of the Company's Series B stock.

    WARRANTS

    As of December 31, 1998, warrants to purchase 183,461 shares of common stock
    at prices ranging from $7.90 to $31.65 were outstanding. All warrants are
    exercisable as of December 31, 1998 and begin to expire in December 1999
    through November 2004.

9.  STOCK OPTION PLAN

    On August 31, 1994, the directors of the Company adopted the Company's 1994
    Employee Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") and the 1994 Nonqualified Stock
    Option Plan (the "Nonqualified Plan"). The 1992 Stock Option Plan and
    options previously granted were canceled by the Board of Directors.

    The Plan provides that officers and other key employees may receive
    nontransferable incentive stock options to purchase up to 170,616 shares of
    the Company's common stock. The option price per share must be at least
    equal to 100% of the market value of the Company's common stock on the date
    of grant and the term may not exceed ten years.

    The Nonqualified Plan provides that directors and consultants may receive
    nontransferable options to purchase up to 18,957 shares of the Company's
    common stock. The option price per share must be at least equal to 85% of
    the market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant and the
    term may not exceed five years.

9.  STOCK OPTION PLAN (CONTINUED)

    Both the Plan and the Nonqualified Plan are administered by the Board of
    Directors or a Committee of the Board which determines the employees,
    directors or consultants which will be granted options and the terms of the
    options, including vesting provisions which to date has been over a three
    year period. Both the Plan and the Nonqualified Plan expire in ten years.

    In February 1999, the exercise price of previously granted stock options was
    repriced to $5.28 per share. Under proposed accounting rules, the Company
    will be required to record compensation expense equal to the difference
    between the estimated fair value of the common stock and the exercise price
    of the repriced options.

    In December 1999, the Company's Board of Directors adopted the ImageWare
    Systems, Inc. Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option Plan. Under the terms
    of the 1999 Plan, the Company may issue up to 350,000 non-qualified or
    incentive stock options to purchase common stock of the Company. The 1999
    Plan has substantially the same terms as the 1994 Employee Stock Option Plan
    and the 1994 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan and expires in ten years.

    The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123. Had
    compensation cost for the Company's stock option plan been determined based
    on the fair value at the grant date for awards consistent with the
    provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net losses would have been
    increased to the pro forma amount indicated below:

                               XIMAGE CORPORATION

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               DECEMBER 31, 1997

1.  ORGANIZATION

    Ximage Corporation (the "Company") is a designer and distributor of image
    viewing and communication systems (hardware and software) for the law
    enforcement and identification industries. The Company markets and sells its
    products worldwide. The Company was incorporated in January 1987.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    USE OF ESTIMATES

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
    accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
    assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
    disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
    statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the
    reporting period. Actual results could differ from estimates.

    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

    SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION, encourages, but does
    not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee
    compensation plans at fair value. The Company has elected to continue to
    account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method
    prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR
    STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES, and related interpretations. Accordingly,
    compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of
    the estimated market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant over
    the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.

    REVENUE RECOGNITION

    The Company's revenue from periodic software license and maintenance
    agreements is generally recognized ratably over the respective license
    periods. The Company's revenue from hardware and software installation and
    implementation and from contract services is generally recognized as the
    services are performed using the percentage of completion method based on
    costs incurred to date compared to total estimated costs at completion.
    Amounts received under contracts in advance of performance are recorded as
    deferred revenue and are generally recognized within one year from receipt.
    Contract losses are recorded as a charge to income in the period such losses
    are first identified. Revenue from contract services for which the Company
    cannot reliably estimate total costs are recognized upon completion.

    INCOME TAXES

    The Company is an S corporation and, as such, income for federal and state
    income tax purposes is passed through directly to its shareholders who are
    responsible for any resulting income tax liability or benefit.

                               DECEMBER 31, 1997

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

    Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred.
    Equipment used for research and development is charged to a capital account
    and is depreciated over its estimated useful life.

    DEPRECIATION

    Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using an
    accelerated method of depreciation over the useful lives of the equipment
    which range from three to seven years.

3.  CONTINGENCIES

    LEASES

    The Company conducted its business from leased offices in San Jose,
    California, under a noncancellable operating lease which expired in February
    1999.

    Rent expense for the year ended December 31, 1997 was $122,072.

4.  STOCK OPTION PLAN

    The Company maintained a stock option plan for eligible employees. Options
    to purchase common stock were granted at a price set by a committee selected
    by the Board of Directors. Options generally expire in ten years if not
    exercised.

    As of December 31, 1997, options to purchase 2,197,688 shares of common
    stock were outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $.79.

    In conjunction with the subsequent sale of the Company (Note 5), all
    outstanding options immediately vested and 2,051,193 options were exercised
    at the following prices:

    outstanding common stock to ImageWage Software, Inc. for approximately
    $2,150,000 and relocated its business to San Diego, California.

                     INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

    Section 204 of the California General Corporation Law permits a corporation
to include in its Articles of Incorporation provisions eliminating or limiting
the personal liability of directors for monetary damages in an action brought by
or in the right of the corporation for breach of a director's fiduciary duties,
subject to certain limitations. Section 317 of the California General
Corporation Law requires a corporation to indemnify its directors and other
agents to the extent they incur expenses in successfully defending lawsuits
brought against them by reason of their status as directors or agents.
Section 317 also permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and other
agents to a greater extent than specifically required by law.

    Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation eliminate the personal
liability of our directors for monetary damages upon breach of fiduciary duties
as a director except: (i) for acts or omissions that involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law; (ii) for acts or
omissions that the director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the
corporation or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith;
(iii) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal
benefit; (iv) for acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for the
director's duty in circumstances in which the director was aware, or should have
been aware, of a risk of serious injury to the corporation or its shareholders;
(v) for an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the
director's duty; (vi) for unlawful dividends or distributions; and (vii) for
unlawful interested director transactions.

    Article VI of our bylaws permits us to indemnify any of our directors,
officers and other agents who is a party, or is threatened to be made a party,
to any proceeding by reason of his or her status as our agent. In such a case,
we may indemnify the agent against expense, liability and loss actually and
reasonably incurred by the agent in connection with such a proceeding if he or
she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in
the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful.

    If such a proceeding is brought by or on behalf of the corporation in the
form of a derivative suit, the agent may be indemnified against expenses
actually and reasonably incurred if the agent acted in good faith, in a manner
reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation, and with
reasonable care. There can be no indemnification with respect to any matter as
to which the agent is adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only
to the extent that the court in which such proceeding was brought determines
upon application that, in view of all of the circumstances of the case, the
agent is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the
court shall deem proper.

    Where an agent is successful in any such proceeding, the agent is entitled
to be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or
her. In all other cases (unless by court order), indemnification is made by the
corporation upon determination by it that indemnification of the agent is proper
in the circumstances because the agent has met the applicable standard of
conduct. We may advance expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding upon
receipt of an undertaking to repay any amount so advanced if it is ultimately
determined that the agent is not eligible for indemnification.

    Our bylaws also provide that we may purchase and maintain liability
insurance on behalf of any of our directors, officers, employees and agents. As
of the date of this registration statement, we do not maintain such policies of
insurance. We intend to purchase director and officer insurance for the benefit
of our directors and officers.

                                      II-1
<PAGE>
    We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors
and officers, a form of which is attached as Exhibit 10.4 to this registration
statement. We intend to enter into indemnification agreements with any new
directors and officers in the future. The indemnification agreements require us
to indemnify our directors and officers to the extent permitted by our bylaws
and to advance their expenses incurred in connection with a proceeding with
respect to which they are entitled to indemnification.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.

    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange 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 the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
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, the registrant 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.

    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to:

    (1) File, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

        (i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
    Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");

        (ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually
    or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the
    registration statement; and notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
    decrease in volume of securities offered (if the dollar value of the
    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) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the
    changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the
    maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
    Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

       (iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan
    of distribution.

    (2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each
post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities
offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona
fide offering.

    (3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the
securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

    (4) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
treat the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h)
under the Securities Act as part of this registration statement as of the time
it was declared effective.

    (5) For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat each
post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new
registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement,
and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide
offering of those securities.

    In addition, the undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the
underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements,
certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by
the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

                                                                __________, 2000



Paulson Investment Company, Inc.
As Representative of the
   Several Underwriters
811 SW Naito Parkway, Suite 200
Portland, Oregon 97204

Gentlemen:

         ImageWare Systems, Inc., a California corporation (the "Company"),
proposes to sell to the several underwriters (the "Underwriters") named in
Schedule I hereto for whom you are acting as Representative (the
"Representative") an aggregate of 1,500,000 Units (the "Firm Units"). Each Unit
will consist of one share of the Company's Common Stock ("Common Stock") and one
Redeemable Purchase Warrant substantially in the form filed as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement (as hereinafter defined) ("Warrants"). The respective
number of the Firm Units to be so purchased by the several Underwriters is set
forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto. The Company also proposes to
grant to the Representative an option to purchase in the aggregate up to 225,000
additional Units, identical to the Firm Units (the "Option Units"), as set forth
below.

         As the Representative, you have advised the Company (a) that you are
authorized to enter into this Agreement for yourself as Representative and on
behalf of the several Underwriters, and (b) that the several Underwriters are
willing, acting severally and not jointly, to purchase the number of Firm Units
set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I. The Firm Units and the
Option Units (to the extent the aforementioned option is exercised) are herein
collectively called the "Units."

         In consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein and of the
interests of the parties in the transactions contemplated hereby, the parties
hereto agree as follows:



                                       1
<PAGE>


         1.       REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

         The Company represents and warrants to each of the Underwriters as
follows:

                  (a) A registration statement on Form SB-2 (File No. 333-_____)
with respect to the Units has been prepared by the Company in conformity with
the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and the
Rules and Regulations (the "Rules and Regulations") of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") thereunder and has been filed with the
Commission. Copies of such registration statement, including any amendments
thereto, the preliminary prospectuses (meeting the requirements of the Rules and
Regulations) contained therein and the exhibits, financial statements and
schedules, as finally amended and revised, have heretofore been delivered by the
Company to you. Such registration statement, together with any registration
statement filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Act, herein
referred to as the "Registration Statement," which shall be deemed to include
all information omitted therefrom in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in
the Prospectus referred to below, has become effective under the Act and no
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed as of the
date of this Agreement. "Prospectus" means (i) the form of prospectus first
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) or (ii) the last preliminary
prospectus included in the Registration Statement filed prior to the time it
becomes effective or filed pursuant to Rule 424(a) under the Act that is
delivered by the Company to the Underwriters for delivery to purchasers of the
Units, together with the term sheet or abbreviated term sheet filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(7) under the Act. Each preliminary prospectus
included in the Registration Statement prior to the time it becomes effective is
herein referred to as a "Preliminary Prospectus."

                  (b) Each of the Company and its subsidiary has been duly
organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the
laws of the State of California, with corporate power and corporate authority to
own or lease its properties and conduct its business as described in the
Registration Statement. The Company does not own and never has owned a
controlling interest in any other corporation or other business entity, except
as disclosed in the Registration Statement. Each of the Company and its
subsidiary is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in all
jurisdictions in which the conduct of its business requires such qualification.

                  (c) The Company owns all of the outstanding capital stock of
its subsidiary free and clear of all claims, liens, charges and encumbrances.
The outstanding shares of each class or series of capital stock of each of the
Company and its subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly issued and are
fully paid and non-assessable and, except as disclosed in the Registration
Statement, have been issued and sold by the Company in compliance in all
material respects with applicable securities laws; the issuance and sale of the
Units, and the common stock and warrants included within the Units, have been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and, when issued and paid for
as contemplated herein, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable;
and no preemptive rights of shareholders exist with respect to any security of
the Company or the issue and sale thereof. Except as set forth in the
Registration Statement, neither the filing of the Registration Statement nor the
offering or sale of the Units as contemplated by this Agreement



                                       2
<PAGE>


give rise to any rights, other than those which have been waived or satisfied,
for or relating to the registration of any shares of Common Stock or other
securities of the Company.

                  (d) The information set forth under the caption
"Capitalization" in the Prospectus is true and correct. The Common Stock
conforms and the Warrants and the Representative's Warrant will conform to the
description thereof contained in the Registration Statement. The forms of
certificates for the securities comprising the Units conform to the requirements
of the corporate law of California. Except as described in the Registration
Statement, there are no outstanding securities of the Company or its subsidiary
convertible or exchangeable into or evidencing the right to purchase or
subscribe for any shares of capital stock of the Company and there are no
outstanding or authorized options, warrants or rights of any character
obligating the Company or its subsidiary to issue any shares of its capital
stock or any securities convertible or exchangeable into or evidencing the right
to purchase or subscribe for any shares of such stock.

                  (e) The Commission has not issued an order preventing or
suspending the use of any Prospectus relating to the proposed offering of the
Units nor instituted proceedings for that purpose. The Registration Statement
contains, and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto will
contain, all statements which are required to be stated therein by, and will
conform to, the requirements of the Act and the Rules and Regulations. The
Registration Statement and any amendment thereto do not contain, and will not
contain, any untrue statement of a material fact and do not omit, and will not
omit, to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading. The Prospectus and any amendments
and supplements thereto do not contain, and will not contain, any untrue
statement of material fact; and do not omit, and will not 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; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company makes no representations or
warranties as to information contained in or omitted from the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance
upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to the Company by or
on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representative, specifically for use in
the preparation thereof.

                  (f) The financial statements of the Company and XImage
Corporation ("XImage"), the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, together with
related notes and schedules as set forth in the Registration Statement, present
fairly the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and
shareholders equity of the Company and XImage at the indicated dates and for the
indicated periods. Such financial statements and related schedules have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
consistently applied throughout the periods involved, except as disclosed
therein, and all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for
such periods have been made. The summary financial and statistical data of the
Company and XImage included in the Registration Statement presents fairly the
information shown therein and such data has been compiled on a basis consistent
with the financial statements presented therein and the books and records of the
Company and XImage. The pro forma financial information included in the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus presents fairly the information shown
therein, has been prepared in accordance with the Commission's rules and
guidelines with respect to pro forma financial statements, has been properly
compiled on the pro forma bases described



                                       3
<PAGE>


therein, and, in the opinion of the Company, the assumptions used in the
preparation thereof are reasonable and the adjustments used therein are
appropriate to give effect to the transactions or circumstances referred to
therein.

                  (g) PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, who have certified certain of
the financial statements filed with the Commission as part of the Registration
Statement, are independent public accountants as required by the Act and the
applicable published Rules and Regulations.

                  (h) There is no action, suit, claim or proceeding pending or,
to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or its
subsidiary before any court or administrative agency or otherwise which if
determined adversely to the Company or its subsidiary might result in any
material adverse change in the earnings, business, management, properties,
assets, rights, operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of
the Company or its subsidiary or prevent the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, except as set forth in the Registration Statement.

                  (i) Each of the Company and it subsidiary has good and
marketable title to all properties and assets, tangible and intangible,
reflected in the financial statements (or as described in the Registration
Statement) hereinabove described, subject to no lien, mortgage, pledge, charge
or encumbrance of any kind except those reflected in such financial statements
(or as described in the Registration Statement) or which are not material. Each
of the Company's and its subsidiary's ownership rights in its patents, patent
licenses and other material technology is consistent with (i) the description
thereof in the Registration Statement, and (ii) the business needs of the
Company and its subsidiary. The Company has sole and exclusive right, title and
interest to the all contracts and agreements acquired pursuant to the
acquisition of the subsidiary, and the Company has obtained all requisite
consents to the transfer of such contracts and agreements. All of the leases and
subleases under which each of the Company and its subsidiary holds properties,
tangible or intangible, are in full force and effect conforming in all respects
to the description thereof set forth in the Registration Statement. Neither the
Company nor its subsidiary have received notice of any claim that is materially
adverse to the rights of the Company or its subsidiary under any of such leases
or subleases.

                  (j) Other than past due payroll and sales taxes owing, in an
aggregate amount not to exceed $300,000, each of the Company and its subsidiary
has filed all federal, state, local and foreign income tax returns which have
been required to be filed and has paid all taxes indicated by said returns and
all assessments received by it to the extent that such taxes have become due and
are not being contested in good faith. All tax liabilities have been adequately
provided for in the financial statements of the Company, and each of the Company
and its subsidiary does not know of any actual or proposed additional material
tax assessments relating to any of its historical periods.

                  (k) Since the respective dates as of which information is
given in the Registration Statement, as it may have been amended or
supplemented, there has not been any material adverse change or any development
involving a prospective material adverse change in or affecting the earnings,
business, management, properties, assets, rights, operations, condition


                                       4
<PAGE>


(financial or otherwise), or prospects of the Company or its subsidiary, whether
or not occurring in the ordinary course of business, and there has not been any
material transaction entered into or any material transaction that is probable
of being entered into by the Company or its subsidiary, other than transactions
in the ordinary course of business and changes and transactions described in the
Registration Statement, as it may be amended or supplemented. Neither the
Company nor its subsidiary has any material contingent obligations which are not
disclosed in the Company's financial statements or elsewhere in the Prospectus
which is included in the Registration Statement.

                  (l) Each of the Company and its subsidiary is not, nor, with
the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, will it be, in violation of or in
default under its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or under any agreement,
lease, contract, indenture or other instrument or obligation to which it is a
party or by which it, or any of its properties, is bound and which default is of
material significance in respect of the condition, financial or otherwise, of
the Company or its subsidiary or the business, management, properties, assets,
rights, operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the
Company or its subsidiary. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions herein contemplated and the fulfillment of the
terms hereof will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or
provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of
trust, material contract or other agreement or instrument to which the Company
or its subsidiary is a party or by which its assets may be bound, or of the
Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company or its subsidiary or any
order, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or its subsidiary of any
court or of any regulatory body or administrative agency or other governmental
body having jurisdiction.

                  (m) Each approval, consent, order, authorization, designation,
declaration or filing by or with any regulatory, administrative or other
governmental body necessary in connection with the execution and delivery by the
Company of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions herein
contemplated (except such additional steps as may be required by the Commission,
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") or such
additional steps as may be necessary to qualify the Units for public offering by
the Underwriters under state securities or Blue Sky laws) has been obtained or
made and is in full force and effect.

                  (n) Each of the Company and its subsidiary owns or possesses
adequate rights to use or can acquire on reasonable terms, all patents, patent
rights, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets and
licenses of any of the foregoing (collectively, "Intellectual Property Rights")
that are described in the Prospectus or which are necessary to the conduct of
its business; there is no claim pending or, to the best knowledge of the
Company, threatened against the Company, its subsidiary, or any of its officers,
directors, employees or consultants, in their capacities as such, alleging any
infringement of Intellectual Property Rights, or any violation of the terms of
any license relating to Intellectual Property Rights, nor does the Company know
of any basis for any such claim. Except as disclosed in the Registration
Statement or in the letter from the Company to the Representative dated
________, the Company knows of no infringement by others of Intellectual
Property Rights owned by or licensed to the Company. Except as disclosed in the
Registration Statement, the expiration of any Intellectual Property Rights would
not have a material adverse effect on the condition, or on the earnings,
business or



                                       5
<PAGE>


operations of the Company or its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Each of the
Company and its subsidiary has obtained, is in compliance in all material
respect with and maintains in full force and effect all material licenses,
certificates, permits, orders or other, similar authorizations granted or issued
by any governmental agency (collectively "Government Permits") required to
conduct its business as it is presently conducted. No proceeding to revoke,
limit or otherwise materially change any Government Permit has been commenced
or, to the knowledge of the Company, is threatened against the Company or its
subsidiary, and neither the Company nor its subsidiary has reason to anticipate
that any such proceeding will be commenced against the Company or its
subsidiary. Except as disclosed or contemplated in the Prospectus, each of the
Company and its subsidiary has no reason to believe that any pending application
for a patent or Government Permit will be denied or limited in a manner
inconsistent with the Company's or its subsidiary's business plan as described
in the Prospectus.

                  (o) Each of the Company and its subsidiary is in all material
respects in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws (as defined
below). Each of the Company and its subsidiary has no knowledge of any past,
present or, as anticipated by the Company or its subsidiary, future events,
conditions, activities, investigation, studies, plans or proposals that (i)
would interfere with or prevent compliance with any Environmental Law by the
Company or its subsidiary or (ii) could reasonably be expected to give rise to
any common law or other liability, or otherwise form the basis of a claim,
action, suit, proceeding, hearing or investigation, involving the Company or its
subsidiary and related to Hazardous Substances (as defined below) or
Environmental Laws. No Hazardous Substance is or has been used, treated, stored,
generated, manufactured or otherwise handled on or at any Facility (as defined
below) and to the knowledge of the Company, no Hazardous Substance has otherwise
come to be located in, on or under any Facility. No Hazardous Substances are
stored at any Facility except in quantities necessary to satisfy the reasonably
anticipated use or consumption by the Company or its subsidiary. No litigation,
claim, proceeding or governmental investigation is pending regarding any
environmental matter for which the Company or its subsidiary has been served or
otherwise notified or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened or asserted
against the Company, its subsidiary, or the officers or directors of the Company
or its subsidiary in their capacities as such, or any Facility or the Company's
or its subsidiary's business. There are no orders, judgments or decrees of any
court or of any governmental agency or instrumentality under any Environmental
Law which specifically apply to the Company, its subsidiary, any Facility or any
of the Company's or its subsidiary's operations. Each of the Company and its
subsidiary has not received from a governmental authority or other person (i)
any notice that it is a potentially responsible person for any Contaminated site
(as defined below) or (ii) any request for information about a site alleged to
be Contaminated or regarding the disposal of Hazardous Substances. There is no
litigation or proceeding against any other person by the Company or its
subsidiary regarding any environmental matter. The Company has disclosed in the
Prospectus or made available to the Underwriters and their counsel true,
complete and correct copies of any reports, studies, investigations, audits,
analyses, tests or monitoring, in the possession of or initiated by the Company
or its subsidiary, pertaining to any environmental matter relating to the
Company, its subsidiary, and their past or present operations or any Facility.

                  (p) Neither the Company, nor to the knowledge of the Company,

action which is designed to cause or result in, or which constitutes or might

price of the shares of Common Stock to facilitate the sale or resale of the
Units.

                  (q) The Company is not an "investment company" within the
meaning of such term under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder.

                  (r) The Company maintains a system of internal accounting

withdrawal from, any

<PAGE>


"pension plan" or (ii) Sections 412 or 4971 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, including the regulations and published interpretations
thereunder (the "Code"); and each "pension plan" for which the Company or its
subsidiary would have any liability that is intended to be qualified under
Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified in all material respects and nothing

of such qualification.

                  (u) Each of the Company and its subsidiary is in material
compliance with all laws, rules, regulations, orders of any court or
administrative agency, operating licenses or other requirements imposed by any

Warrants and the Representative's Warrants, when issued and delivered against
payment therefor in accordance with the terms thereof, will be duly and validly
issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights, and all
corporate action required to be taken for the authorization and issuance of the
Warrants and the Representative's Warrants, and the securities to be issued upon
their exercise, have been validly and sufficiently taken.

                  (w) Except as disclosed in the Prospectus, neither the Company
nor any of its officers, directors or affiliates have caused any person, other
than the Underwriters, to be entitled to reimbursement of any kind, including,

offering of the Units, based on any activity of such person as a finder, agent,
broker, investment adviser or other financial service provider, and there are no
contracts, agreements or understandings between the Company and any person that
would give rise to a valid claim against the Company or any Underwriter for a
brokerage commission, finder's fee or other like payment in connection with this
offering.

                  (x) Except as described in the Prospectus, neither the Company
nor its subsidiary directly or indirectly controls or has a material interest in
any other business entity.

                  (y) No labor dispute with the employees of the Company or its
subsidiary exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is imminent, and neither
the Company nor its subsidiary is aware of any existing or imminent labor
disturbance by the employees of any of its principal suppliers, customers or
vendors, which, in any case, may reasonably be expected to result in a material
adverse effect on the Company.

                  (z) There are no contracts or other documents which are
required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or to
be filed as exhibits thereto which have not been so described and filed as
required.

                  (aa) There are no affiliations or associations between any
member of the NASD and any of the Company's officers, directors or 5% or greater
security holders.

                  (bb) Other than as disclosed in the Prospectus, there are no
contracts, agreements or understandings between the Company or its subsidiary
and any person granting such person the right (other than rights which have been
waived or satisfied) to require the Company to file a registration statement
under the Act with respect to any securities of the Company owned or to be owned
by such person or to require the Company to include such securities in the
securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement or in any
securities being registered pursuant to any other registration statement filed
by the Company under the Act.

                  (cc) Each of the Company's and its subsidiary's products will
produce no material, logical or arithmetic inconsistencies when dealing with
leap years or dates beyond the year 1999. Without limiting the foregoing, each
of the Company's and its subsidiary's services and products will not materially
impede the accurate processing of data, or cause programming or processing
errors resulting from the rollover of two-digit year values to "00" on January
1, 2000. The foregoing does not constitute a warranty or representation that the
Company's or its subsidiary's software will be capable of recording, storing,
processing, calculating and displaying correct calendar dates based on software
supplied by any party other than the Company or its subsidiary, or that the
Company's or its subsidiary's software will properly interact with such third
party software.

                  (dd) The Company confirms as of the date hereof that it is in
compliance with all provisions of Section 1 of the Laws of Florida, Chapter

Company further agrees that if it commences engaging in business with the
government of Cuba or with any person or affiliate located in Cuba after the
date of the Registration Statement becomes or has become effective with the
Commission or with the Florida Department of Banking and Financing (the
"Department"), whichever date is later, of if the information reported or
incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, if any, concerning the Company's
business with Cuba or with any person or affiliate located in Cuba changed in
any material way, the Company will provide the Department notice of such
business or change, as appropriate, in a form acceptable to the Department.

         2.       PURCHASE, SALE AND DELIVERY OF THE UNITS.

                  (a) On the basis of the representations, warranties and
covenants herein contained, and subject to the conditions herein set forth, the
Company agrees to sell to the Underwriters and each Underwriter agrees,
severally and not jointly, to purchase, at a price of $____ per Unit, the number
of Firm Units set forth opposite the name of each Underwriter in Schedule I
hereof, subject to adjustments in accordance with Section 9 hereof.



                                       9
<PAGE>


                  (b) Payment for the Firm Units to be sold hereunder is to be
made in New York Clearing House funds and, at the option of the Representative,
by bank wire to an account specified by the Company, or certified or bank
cashier's checks drawn to the order of the Company, against either
uncertificated delivery of Firm Units or of certificates therefor (which
delivery, if certificated, shall take place in such location in New York, New
York as may be specified by the Representative) to the Representative for the
several accounts of the Underwriters. Such payment is to be made at the offices
of the Representative at the address set forth on the first page of this
Agreement, at 7:00 a.m., Pacific time, on the third business day after the date
of this Agreement or at such other time and date not later than five business
days thereafter as you and the Company shall agree upon, such time and date
being herein referred to as the "Closing Date." (As used herein, "business day"
means a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and on
which banks in New York are open for business and not permitted by law or
executive order to be closed.) Except to the extent uncertificated Firm Units
are delivered at closing, certificates for the Firm Units and for the common
stock and warrants comprising such Firm Units will be delivered in such
denominations and in such registrations as the Representative requests in
writing not later than the second full business day prior to the Closing Date,
and will be made available for inspection by the Representative at least one
business day prior to the Closing Date.

                  (c) In addition, on the basis of the representations and
warranties herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set
forth, the Company hereby grants an option to the Representative to purchase the
Option Units at the price per Unit as set forth in the first paragraph of this
Section 2. The option granted hereby may be exercised in whole or in part by
giving written notice (i) at any time before the Closing Date and (ii) only once
thereafter within 45 days after the date of this Agreement, by the
Representative to the Company setting forth the number of Option Units as to
which the Representative is exercising the option, the names and denominations
in which the Option Units are to be registered and the time and date at which
certificates representing such Units are to be delivered. The time and date at
which certificates for Option Units are to be delivered shall be determined by
the Representative but shall not be earlier than three nor later than 10 full
business days after the exercise of such option, nor in any event prior to the
Closing Date (such time and date being herein referred to as the "Option Closing
Date"). If the date of exercise of the option is three or more days before the
Closing Date, the notice of exercise shall set the Closing Date as the Option
Closing Date. The option with respect to the Option Units granted hereunder may
be exercised only to cover over-allotments in the sale of the Firm Units by the
Underwriters. The Representative may cancel such option at any time prior to its
expiration by giving written notice of such cancellation to the Company. To the
extent, if any, that the option is exercised, payment for the Option Units shall
be made on the Option Closing Date in New York Clearing House funds and, at the
option of the Representative, by bank wire to an account specified by the
Company, or certified or bank cashier's check drawn to the order of the Company
for the Option Units to be sold by the Company in consideration either of
uncertificated delivery of Option Units or delivery of certificates therefor
(which delivery, if certificated, shall take place in such location in New York,
New York as may be specified by the Representative) to the Representative.
Except to the extent uncertificated Option Units are delivered at closing, the
certificates for the Option Units and for the common stock and warrants
comprising such Option Units will be delivered in such



                                       10
<PAGE>


denominations and in such registrations as the Representative requests in
writing not later than the second full business day prior to the Option Closing
Date, and will be made available for inspection by the Representative at least
one business day prior to the Option Closing Date.

                  (d) In addition to the sums payable to the Representative as
provided elsewhere herein, the Representative shall be entitled to receive at
the Closing, for itself alone and not as Representative of the Underwriters, as
additional compensation for its services, purchase warrants (the
"Representative's Warrants") for the purchase of up to 125,000 Units at a price
of $___ per Unit, upon the terms and subject to adjustment and conversion as
described in the form of Representative's Warrants filed as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.

         3.       OFFERING BY THE UNDERWRITERS.

                  It is understood that the several Underwriters are to make a
public offering of the Firm Units as soon as the Representative deems it
advisable to do so. The Firm Units are to be initially offered to the public at
the initial public offering price set forth in the Prospectus. The
Representative may from time to time thereafter change the public offering price
and other selling terms. To the extent, if at all, that any Option Units are
purchased pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Representative will offer them to
the public on the foregoing terms.

                  It is further understood that you will act as the
Representative for the Underwriters in the offering and sale of the Units in
accordance with an Agreement Among Underwriters entered into by you and the
several other Underwriters.

         4.       COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

         The Company covenants and agrees with the several Underwriters that:

                  (a) The Company will (A) use its best efforts to cause the
Registration Statement to become effective or, if the procedure in Rule 430A of
the Rules and Regulations is followed, to prepare and timely file with the
Commission under Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations a Prospectus in a form
approved by the Representative containing information previously omitted at the
time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement in reliance on Rule 430A of
the Rules and Regulations, (B) not file any amendment to the Registration
Statement or supplement to the Prospectus of which the Representative shall not
previously have been advised and furnished with a copy or to which the
Representative shall have reasonably objected in writing or which is not in
compliance with the Rules and Regulations, and (C) file on a timely basis all
reports and any definitive proxy or information statements required to be filed
by the Company with the Commission subsequent to the date of the Prospectus and
prior to the termination of the offering of the Units by the Underwriters.

                  (b) The Company will advise the Representative promptly (A)
when the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto shall
have become effective, (B) of receipt of any comments from the Commission, (C)
of any request of the Commission for amendment of the Registration Statement or
for supplement to the Prospectus or for any



                                       11
<PAGE>


additional information, (D) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the use of the
Prospectus or of the institution of any proceedings for that purpose, and (E) of
the issuance of any order suspending trading of the Units, the Common Stock or
the Warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of
any such stop order preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectus or
suspending trading and to obtain as soon as possible the lifting thereof, if
issued.

                  (c) The Company will cooperate with the Representative in
endeavoring to qualify the Units for sale under the securities laws of such
jurisdictions as the Representative may reasonably have designated in writing
and will make such applications, file such documents, and furnish such
information as may be reasonably required for that purpose, provided the Company
shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to file a general
consent to service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not now so
qualified or required to file such a consent. The Company will, from time to
time, prepare and file such statements, reports, and other documents, as are or
may be required to continue such qualifications in effect for so long a period
as the Representative may reasonably request for distribution of the Units.

                  (d) The Company will deliver to, or upon the order of, the
Representative, from time to time, as many copies of any Preliminary Prospectus
as the Representative may reasonably request. The Company will deliver to, or
upon the order of, the Representative during the period when delivery of a
Prospectus is required under the Act, as many copies of the Prospectus in final
form, or as thereafter amended or supplemented, as the Representative may
reasonably request. The Company will deliver to the Representative at or before
the Closing Date, four signed copies of the Registration Statement and all
amendments thereto including all exhibits filed therewith, and will deliver to
the Representative such number of copies of the Registration Statement
(including such number of copies of the exhibits filed therewith that may
reasonably be requested), and of all amendments thereto, as the Representative
may reasonably request.

                  (e) The Company will comply with the Act and the Rules and
Regulations, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, so as to
permit the completion of the distribution of the Units as contemplated in this
Agreement and the Prospectus, and make all required filings thereunder to
maintain compliance with such act with respect to the trading and issuance of
the Common Stock, the Warrants and the Common Stock underlying the Warrants. If
during the period in which a prospectus is required by law to be delivered by an
Underwriter or dealer, any event shall occur as a result of which, in the
judgment of the Company or in the reasonable opinion of the Representative, it
becomes necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time the
Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or, if it is necessary
at any time to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with any law, the
Company promptly will prepare and file with the Commission an appropriate
amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus so that
the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the
circumstances existing at the time the Prospectus is so delivered, be
misleading, or so that the Prospectus will comply with the law.

<PAGE>


                  (f) The Company will make generally available to its security
holders, as soon as it is practicable to do so, but in any event not later than
15 months after the effective date of the Registration Statement, an earnings
statement (which need not be audited) in reasonable detail, covering a period of
at least 12 consecutive months beginning after the effective date of the
Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the requirements
of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 of the Rules and Regulations and will
advise you in writing when such statement has been so made available.

                  (g) The Company will, for a period of five years from the
Closing Date, deliver to the Representative copies of annual reports and copies
of all other documents, reports and information furnished by the Company to its
shareholders or filed with any securities exchange pursuant to the requirements
of such exchange or with the Commission pursuant to the Act or the Exchange Act.
The Company will deliver to the Representative similar reports with respect to
significant subsidiaries, as that term is defined in the Rules and Regulations,
which are not consolidated in the Company's financial statements. The Company
will, for a period of five years from the Closing Date, deliver to the
Representative notice of all meetings of its Board of Directors and any
executive or similar committee thereof.

                  (h) No offering, sale, short sale or other disposition of any
shares of Common Stock of the Company or other securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock or derivatives of Common
Stock (or agreement therefor) will be made for a period of one year after the
date of this Agreement, directly or indirectly, by the Company otherwise than
hereunder, or pursuant to contractual obligations existing on the date hereof or
pursuant to employee benefit plans in effect on the date hereof, or with the
prior written consent of the Representative, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld.

                  (i) The Company will use its best efforts to qualify,
subject to notice of issuance, the Units, the Common Stock and Warrants for
membership in The Nasdaq SmallCap Market and for listing on the Pacific Stock
Exchange.

                  (j) The Company has caused each officer and director and
persons who own, in the aggregate, [__]% of the shares of the Common Stock
outstanding or issuable upon conversion of convertible securities outstanding
immediately prior to the date hereof to furnish to you, on or prior to the date
of this agreement, a letter or letters, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Underwriters ("Lock-up Agreements"), pursuant to which each such person
shall agree (A) not to offer, sell, contract to sell or grant any option to
purchaser or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock or preferred stock
or other capital stock of the Company, or any options or other securities
convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock or derivatives of
Common Stock owned by such person or request the registration for the offer or
sale of any of the foregoing (or as to which such person has the right to direct
the disposition) for a period of one year after the date of this Agreement,
directly or indirectly, except with the prior written consent of the
Representative; and (B) to give prior written notice to the Representative for a
period of one year from the effective date of the Registration Statement, with
respect to any sales of Common Stock of the Company pursuant to Rule 144 under
the Securities Act or any similar rule.



                                       13
<PAGE>


                  (k) The Company shall apply the net proceeds of its sale of
the Units as set forth in the Prospectus and shall properly disclose such
information with respect to the sale of the Units and the application of the
proceeds therefrom as may be required in accordance with Rule 463 under the Act.

                  (l) The Company shall not invest, or otherwise use the
proceeds received by the Company from its sale of the Units in such a manner as
would require the Company to register as an investment company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

                  (m) The Company will maintain a transfer agent and, if
necessary under the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company, a registrar
for the Common Stock and a Warrant Agent for the Warrants.

                  (n) The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any
action designed to cause or result in, or that has constituted or might
reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the
price of any securities of the Company.

                  (o) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company will furnish to the
Representatives, as soon as they have been prepared by or are available to the
Company, a copy of any unaudited interim financial statements of the Company for
any period subsequent to the period covered by the most recent financial
statements appearing in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

                  (p) The Company agrees to use its best efforts to cause (i)
each of its directors, officers and shareholders and (ii) each person who
acquires Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the exercise of any option,
warrant or right granted under the Company's 1999 Stock Option Plan or 1994
Employee Stock Option Plan to sign an agreement that restricts such person from
selling, making any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or
otherwise transfer or dispose of, any of such Common Stock, or any such
securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, for
a period of one year days after the date of the Prospectus without the prior
written consent of the Representative; and the Company will (i) enforce the
terms of each such agreement and (ii) issue and impose a stop-transfer
instruction with the Company's transfer agent in order to enforce the foregoing
lock-up agreements.

                  (q) The Company will (i) enforce the terms of each Lock-up
Agreement, and (ii) issue stop-transfer instructions to the transfer agent for
the Common Stock with respect to any transaction or contemplated transaction
that would constitute a breach of or default under the applicable Lock-up
Agreement. In addition, except with the prior written consent of the
Representative, the Company agrees (i) not to amend or terminate, or waive any
right under, any Lock-up Agreement, or take any other action that would directly
or indirectly have the same effect as an amendment or termination, or waiver of
any right under any Lock-up Agreement, that would permit any holder of Common
Stock, or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for,
Common Stock, to make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of,
or otherwise transfer or dispose of, such Common Stock or other securities,
prior to the



                                       14
<PAGE>


expiration of one year after the date of the Prospectus and (ii) not to consent
to any sale, short sale, grant of an option for the purchase of, or other
disposition or transfer of shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible
into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, subject to a Lock-up
Agreement.

                  (r) The Company will, between the date hereof and the date
twenty-five days after the Closing Date, provide the Representative and its
legal counsel, prior to their release, copies of all press releases, proposed
communications with shareholders or other interested parties and other public
announcements and will permit the Representative and its legal counsel to
comment thereon prior to release.

         5.       COSTS AND EXPENSES.

                  (a) The Representative shall be entitled to reimbursement from
the Company, for itself alone and not as Representative of the Underwriters, to
a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 2% of the aggregate initial public
offering price of the Firm Units and any Option Units purchased by the
Underwriters. The Representative shall be entitled to withhold this allowance on
the Closing Date related to the purchase of the Firm Units or the Option Units,
as the case may be.

                  (b) In addition to the payment described in Paragraph (a) of
this Section 5, the Company will pay all costs, expenses and fees incident to
the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement,
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following:
accounting fees of the Company; the fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Company; the cost of printing and delivering to, or as requested by, the
Underwriters copies of the Registration Statement, Preliminary Prospectuses, the
Prospectus, this Agreement, the Nasdaq listing application, the costs of the due
diligence investigation of the principals of the Company, the Blue Sky Survey
and any supplements or amendments thereto; the filing fees of the Commission;
the filing fees and expenses (including any fees and disbursements) incident to
securing the required review by the NASD of the terms and conditions of the
underwriting arrangements; the listing fee of The Nasdaq Stock Market; and the
expenses, including the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters,
incurred in connection with the qualification of the Units under state
securities or Blue Sky laws. Any transfer taxes imposed on the sale of the Units
to the several Underwriters will be paid by the Company. The Company shall not,
however, be required to pay for any of the Underwriters' expenses (other than
those related to qualification under NASD regulations and state securities or
Blue Sky laws) except that, if this Agreement shall not be consummated, then the
Company shall reimburse the several Underwriters for actual out-of-pocket
expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred in
connection with investigating, marketing and proposing to market the Units or in
contemplation of performing their obligations hereunder; but the Company shall
not in any event be liable to any of the several Underwriters for damages on
account of loss of anticipated profits from the sale by them of the Units.

         6.       CONDITIONS OF OBLIGATIONS OF THE UNDERWRITERS.

                  The several obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the
Firm Units on the Closing Date and the Option Units, if any, on the Option

Closing Date, as the case may be, of the representations and warranties of the
Company contained herein, to the performance by the Company of its covenants and
obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions:

Registration Statement or otherwise) shall have been disclosed to the
Representative and complied with to its reasonable satisfaction. No stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, as amended from time

been taken or, to the knowledge of the Company, shall be contemplated by the
Commission and no injunction, restraining order, or order of any nature by a
Federal or state court of competent jurisdiction shall have been issued as of
the Closing Date which would prevent the issuance of the Units.

                  (b) The Representative shall have received on the Closing Date
or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, the opinion of Luce, Forward,
Hamilton & Scripps LLP, counsel for the Company, dated the Closing Date or the
Option Closing Date, as the case may be, addressed to the Underwriters (and
stating that it may be relied upon by counsel to the Underwriters) to the effect
that:

                           (i) Each of the Company and its subsidiary has been
         duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good
         standing under the laws of the State of California, with corporate
         power and corporate authority to own or lease its properties and to
         conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement; each
         of the Company and its subsidiary is duly qualified to transact
         business and is in good standing in all jurisdictions in which the
         conduct of its business requires such qualification, or in which the
         failure to qualify would have a material adverse effect upon the
         business of the Company.

                           (ii) The Company has authorized and outstanding
         capital stock as set forth under the caption "Capitalization" in the
         Prospectus; the outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly
         authorized and validly issued, are non-assessable and, to such
         counsel's knowledge, fully paid, and have been issued and sold by the
         Company in compliance in all material respects with applicable
         securities laws; all of the securities of the Company conform to the
         description thereof contained in the Prospectus; the certificates for
         the Common Stock and Warrants are in due and proper form; the shares of
         Common Stock to be sold by the Company pursuant to this Agreement,
         including shares of Common Stock to be sold as a part of the Units,
         have been duly authorized and, upon issuance and delivery thereof as
         contemplated in this Agreement and the Registration Statement, will be
         validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; no preemptive rights of



                                       16
<PAGE>


         shareholders exist with respect to any of the Common Stock or the
         issuance or sale thereof pursuant to any applicable statute or the
         provisions of the Company's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or, to
         the knowledge of such counsel, pursuant to any contractual obligation.
         The Warrants and the Representative's Warrants have been authorized for
         issuance to the purchasers of Units or the Representative, as the case
         may be, and will, when issued, possess rights, privileges, and
         characteristics as represented in the most recent form of Warrants or
         Representative's Warrants, as the case may be, filed as an exhibit to
         the Registration Statement; the securities to be issued upon exercise
         of the Warrants and the Representative's Warrants, as the case may be,
         when issued and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with
         the terms of the Representative's Warrants, will be duly and validly
         issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights, and
         all corporate action required to be taken for the authorization and
         issuance of the Warrants, the Representative's Warrants, and the
         securities to be issued upon their exercise, has been validly and
         sufficiently taken.

                           (iii) Except as described in or contemplated by the
         Prospectus, to the knowledge of such counsel, there are no outstanding
         securities of the Company convertible or exchangeable into or
         evidencing the right to purchase or subscribe for any shares of capital
         stock of the Company and there are no outstanding or authorized
         options, warrants or rights of any character obligating the Company to
         issue any shares of its capital stock or any securities convertible or
         exchangeable into or evidencing the right to purchase or subscribe for
         any shares of such stock; and except as described in the Prospectus, to
         the knowledge of such counsel, no holder of any securities of the
         Company or any other person has the right, contractual or otherwise,
         which has not been satisfied or effectively waived, to cause the
         Company to sell or otherwise issue to them, or to permit them to
         underwrite the sale of, any of the Units or the right to have any
         Common Stock or other securities of the Company included in the
         Registration Statement or the right, as a result of the filing of the
         Registration Statement, to require registration under the Act of any
         shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company.

                           (iv) The Registration Statement has become effective
         under the Act and, to the best of the knowledge of such counsel, no
         stop order proceedings with respect thereto have been instituted or are
         pending or threatened under the Act.

                           (v) The conditions for the use of Form SB-2 set forth
         in the general instructions thereto have been satisfied, and the
         Registration Statement, the Prospectus and each amendment or supplement
         thereto comply as to form in all material respects with the
         requirements of the Act and the applicable rules and regulations
         thereunder (except that such counsel need express no opinion as to the
         financial statements and related schedules therein).

                           (vi) The statements under the captions "Management's
         Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
         Operations", "Business-intellectual property," "Management-Stock option
         plans," "Management-Employment agreements," "Certain Relationships and
         Related Transactions," "Description of Securities," and

         "Shares Eligible for Future Sale" in the Prospectus, and Items 24 and
         26 of Part II of the Registration Statement, insofar as such statements
         constitute a summary of documents referred to therein or matters of
         law, fairly summarize in all material respects the information called
         for with respect to such documents and matters.

                           (vii) Such counsel does not know of any contracts or
         documents required to be filed as exhibits to the Registration
         Statement or described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus
         which are not so filed or described as required, and such contracts and
         documents as are summarized in the Registration Statement or the
         Prospectus are fairly summarized in all material respects.

                           (viii) Such counsel knows of no legal or governmental
         proceedings pending or threatened against the Company.

                           (ix) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and
         the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated do not and
         will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or
         provisions of, or constitute a default under, the Articles of
         Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, or any agreement or instrument
         known to such counsel to which the Company is a party or by which the
         Company may be bound.

                           (x) Each of this Agreement and the Warrant Agreement
         by and among the Company, the Warrantholders (defined therein) and
         American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as Warrant Agent, has been
         duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

                           (xi) No approval, consent, order, authorization,
         designation, declaration or filing by or with any regulatory,
         administrative or other governmental body is necessary in connection
         with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation
         of the transactions herein contemplated (other than as may be required
         by the NASD or as required by state securities and Blue Sky laws as to
         which such counsel need express no opinion) except such as have been
         obtained or made, specifying the same.

                           (xii) The Company is not, and will not become, as a
         result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
         Agreement, and application of the net proceeds therefrom as described
         in the Prospectus, required to register as an investment company under
         the 1940 Act.

                  In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely as to matters
governed by the laws of states other than California or Federal laws on local
counsel in such jurisdictions, provided that in each case such counsel shall
state that they believe that they and the Underwriters are justified in relying
on such other counsel. In addition to the matters set forth above, the opinion
of Luce, Forward, Hamilton & Scripps LLP shall also include a statement to the
effect that nothing has come to the attention of such counsel that has caused
them to believe that (i) the Registration Statement, at the time it became
effective under the Act (but after giving effect to any modifications
incorporated therein pursuant to Rule 430A under the Act) and as of



                                       18
<PAGE>


the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, contained an
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
and (ii) the Prospectus, or any supplement thereto, on the date it was filed
pursuant to the Rules and Regulations and as of the Closing Date or the Option
Closing Date, as the case may be, contained an untrue statement of a material
fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not
misleading (except that such counsel need express no view as to financial
statements, schedules and statistical information therein).

                  (c) The Representative shall have received from Tonkon Torp
LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, an opinion dated the Closing Date or the
Option Closing Date, as the case may be, substantially to the effect specified
in subparagraphs (i), (iv) and (v) of Paragraph (b) of this Section 6. In
rendering such opinion Tonkon Torp LLP may rely as to all matters governed other
than by the laws of the State of Oregon or Federal laws on the opinion of
counsel referred to in Paragraph (b) of this Section 6. In addition to the
matters set forth above, such opinion shall also include a statement to the
effect that nothing has come to the attention of such counsel that has caused
them to believe that (i) the Registration Statement, or any amendment thereto,
as of the time it became effective under the Act (but after giving effect to any
modifications incorporated therein pursuant to Rule 430A under the Act) and as
of the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, contained an
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
and (ii) the Prospectus, or any supplement thereto, on the date it was filed
pursuant to the Rules and Regulations and as of the Closing Date or the Option
Closing Date, as the case may be, contained an untrue statement of a material
fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not
misleading (except that such counsel need express no view as to financial
statements, schedules and statistical information therein). With respect to such
statement, Tonkon Torp LLP may state that their belief is based upon the
procedures set forth therein, but is without independent check and verification.

                  (d) The Representative shall have received at or prior to the
Closing Date from Tonkon Torp LLP a memorandum or summary, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Representative, with respect to the qualification for
offering and sale by the Underwriters of the Units under the state securities or
Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative may reasonably have
designated to the Company.

                  (e) The Representative, on behalf of the several Underwriters,
shall have received, on each of the dates hereof, the Closing Date and the
Option Closing Date, as the case may be, a letter dated the date hereof, the
Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Representative, of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
confirming that they are independent public accountants within the meaning of
the Act and the applicable published Rules and Regulations thereunder and
stating that in their opinion the financial statements and schedules examined by
them and included in the Registration Statement comply in form in all material
respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the related
published Rules and Regulations and containing such other statements and



                                       19
<PAGE>


information as is ordinarily included in accountants' "comfort letters" to
Underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial and
statistical information contained in the Registration Statement and Prospectus.

                  (f) The Representative shall have received on the Closing Date
or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, a certificate or certificates of
the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company to
the effect that, as of the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case
may be, each of them severally represents as follows:

                           (i) The Registration Statement has become effective
         under the Act and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
         Registration Statement has been issued, and no proceedings for such
         purpose have been taken or are, to his knowledge, contemplated by the
         Commission;

                           (ii) The representations and warranties of the
         Company contained in Section 1 hereof are true and correct as of the
         Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be;

                           (iii) All filings required to have been made pursuant
         to Rules 424 or 430A under the Act have been made;

                           (iv) He has carefully examined the Registration
         Statement and the Prospectus and, in his opinion, as of the effective
         date of the Registration Statement, the statements contained in the
         Registration Statement were true and correct, and such Registration
         Statement and Prospectus did not omit to state a material fact required
         to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
         therein not misleading, and since the effective date of the
         Registration Statement, no event has occurred which should have been
         set forth in a supplement to or an amendment of the Prospectus which
         has not been so set forth in such supplement or amendment; and

                           (v) Since the respective dates as of which
         information is given in the Registration Statement and Prospectus,
         there has not been any material adverse change or any development
         involving a prospective material adverse change in or affecting the
         condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company or the earnings,
         business, management, properties, assets, rights, operations, condition
         (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company, whether or not
         arising in the ordinary course of business.

                  (g) The Company shall have furnished to the Representative
such further certificates and documents confirming the representations and
warranties, covenants and conditions contained herein and related matters as the
Representative may reasonably have requested.

                  (h) The Common Stock and Warrants have been approved for
quotation upon notice of issuance on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market.

                  (i) The Lock-up Agreements described in Section 4(j) are in
full force and effect.

                  The opinions and certificates mentioned in this Agreement
shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions hereof only if they are
in all material respects satisfactory to the Representative and to Tonkon Torp
LLP, counsel for the Underwriters.

                  If any of the conditions hereinabove provided for in this
Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled when and as required by this Agreement
to be fulfilled, the obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be terminated
by the Representative by notifying the Company of such termination in writing or
by telegram at or prior to the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the
case may be.

                  In such event, the Company and the Underwriters shall not be
under any obligation to each other (except to the extent provided in Sections 5
and 8 hereof).

         7. CONDITIONS OF THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY.

                  The obligations of the Company to sell and deliver the portion
of the Units required to be delivered as and when specified in this Agreement
are subject to the conditions that at the Closing Date or the Option Closing
Date, as the case may be, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement shall have been issued and in effect or proceedings
therefor initiated or threatened.

         8.       INDEMNIFICATION.

                  (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each
Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the
meaning of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which
such Underwriter or any such controlling person may become subject under the Act
or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the
Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto; (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading; (iii) caused by any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any material prepared
by or with the consent of the Company for distribution to Participants in
connection with the Directed Share Program or caused by any omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (iv) caused by the
failure of any Participant to pay for and accept delivery of Directed Shares
that the Participant agreed to purchase; or (v) related to, arising out of, or
in connection with the Directed Share Program; and will reimburse each
Underwriter and each such controlling person upon demand for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter or such controlling person in
connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage
or liability, action or proceeding or in responding to a subpoena or
governmental inquiry related to the offering of the Units, whether or not such
Underwriter or controlling person is a party to any



                                       21
<PAGE>


action or proceeding; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in
any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability
arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement,
or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, any
Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, or such amendment or supplement, in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by or through the Representative specifically for use in the preparation
thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the
Company may otherwise have.

                  (b) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly will indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who
have signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities to which the Company or any such director, officer or controlling
person may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any
Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto,
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 under which they were made, not misleading; and
will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or
any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability,
action or proceeding; provided, however, that each Underwriter will be liable in
each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission has been made in the
Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or such
amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by or through the Representative
specifically for use in the preparation thereof. This indemnity agreement will
be in addition to any liability which such Underwriter may otherwise have.

                  (c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental
investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which
indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 8, such person (the
"indemnified party") shall promptly notify the person against whom such
indemnity may be sought (the "indemnifying party") in writing. No
indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or (b) shall be available to any
party who shall fail to give notice as provided in this Section 8(c) if the
party to whom notice was not given was unaware of the proceeding to which such
notice would have related and was materially prejudiced by the failure to give
such notice, but the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the
indemnifying party or parties from any liability which it or they may have to
the indemnified party for contribution or otherwise than on account of the
provisions of Section 8(a) or (b). In case any such proceeding shall be brought
against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate
therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party and, the indemnifying party shall
pay as incurred the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such
proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right
to retain its own counsel at its



                                       22
<PAGE>


own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall pay as
incurred (or within 30 days of presentation) the fees and expenses of the
counsel retained by the indemnified party in the event (i) the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of
such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate
due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (iii) the
indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense and employ counsel
acceptable to the indemnified party within a reasonable period of time after
notice of commencement of the action. It is understood that the indemnifying
party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the
same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than
one additional separate firm for all such indemnified parties. Such firm shall
be designated in writing by the Representative in the case of parties
indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a) and by the Company in the case of parties
indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable
for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent but if
settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the
indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against
any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. In addition, the
indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the
indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment
in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding of which
indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any indemnified party is
an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding) unless such
settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each
indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action or
proceeding.

                  (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is
unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
Section 8(a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein,
then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the
one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Units. If,
however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not
permitted by applicable law then each indemnifying party shall contribute to
such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative
fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in
connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof),
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits
received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall
be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the
offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bears to the total
underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each
case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative
fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by



                                       23
<PAGE>


the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission.

                  The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be
just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 8(d) were
determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one
entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not
take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section
8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect
thereof) referred to above in this Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), (i) no Underwriter shall
be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting discounts and
commissions applicable to the Units purchased by such Underwriter, and (ii) no
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters' obligations in
this Section 8(d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective
underwriting obligations and not joint.

                  (e) In any proceeding relating to the Registration Statement,
any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any supplement or amendment
thereto, each party against whom contribution may be sought under this Section 8
hereby consents to the jurisdiction of any court having jurisdiction over any
other contributing party, agrees that process issuing from such court may be
served upon him or it by any other contributing party and consents to the
service of such process and agrees that any other contributing party may join
him or it as an additional defendant in any such proceeding in which such other
contributing party is a party.

                  (f) Any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses for
which an indemnified party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under
this Section 8 shall be paid by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party
as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are incurred. The
indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 8 and the
representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall
remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any
investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any person controlling
any Underwriter, the Company, its directors or officers or any persons
controlling the Company, (ii) acceptance of any Units and payment therefor
hereunder, and (iii) any termination of this Agreement. A successor to any
Underwriter, or to the Company, its directors or officers, or any person
controlling the Company, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity,
contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 8.

         9.       DEFAULT BY UNDERWRITERS.

                  If on the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case
may be, any Underwriter shall fail to purchase and pay for the portion of the
Units which such Underwriter has agreed to purchase and pay for on such date
(otherwise than by reason of any default on the



                                       24
<PAGE>


part of the Company), you, as Representative of the Underwriters, shall use
reasonable efforts to procure within 36 hours thereafter one or more of the
other Underwriters, or any others, to purchase from the Company such amounts as
may be agreed upon and upon the terms set forth herein, the Firm Units or Option
Units, as the case may be, which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters
failed to purchase. If during such 36 hours you, as such Representative, shall
not have procured such other Underwriters, or any others, to purchase the Firm
Units or Option Units, as the case may be, agreed to be purchased by the
defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then (a) if the aggregate number of
Units with respect to which such default shall occur does not exceed 10% of the
Firm Units or Option Units, as the case may be, covered hereby, the other
Underwriters shall be obligated, severally, in proportion to the respective
numbers of Firm Units or Option Units, as the case may be, which they are
obligated to purchase hereunder, to purchase the Firm Units or Option Units, as
the case may be, which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters failed to
purchase, or (b) if the aggregate number of Firm Units or Option Units, as the
case may be, with respect to which such default shall occur exceeds 10% of the
Firm Units or Option Units, as the case may be, covered hereby, the Company or
you as the Representative of the Underwriters will have the right, by written
notice given within the next 36-hour period to the parties to this Agreement, to
terminate this Agreement without liability on the part of the non-defaulting
Underwriters or of the Company except to the extent provided in Section 8
hereof. In the event of a default by any Underwriter or Underwriters, as set
forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date or Option Closing Date, as the case
may be, may be postponed for such period, not exceeding seven days, as you, as
Representative, may determine in order that the required changes in the
Registration Statement or in the Prospectus or in any other documents or
arrangements may be effected. The term "Underwriter" includes any person
substituted for a defaulting Underwriter. Any action taken under this Section 9
shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any
default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

         10.      NOTICES.

                 AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
                           OF IMAGEWARE SOFTWARE, INC.


         S. James Miller, Jr. and Anne Hoversten certify that:

         ONE: They are the President and Secretary, respectively, of ImageWare
Software, Inc. (the "Corporation").

         TWO: The Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation are amended and
restated to read as follows:

                                    ARTICLE I

             The name of the Corporation is ImageWare Systems, Inc.

                                   ARTICLE II

         The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or
activity for which a corporation may be organized under the General Corporation
Law of California other than the banking business, the trust company business or
the practice of a profession permitted to be incorporated by the California
Corporations Code.

                                   ARTICLE III

         A. CLASSES OF STOCK. The Corporation is authorized to issue two
classes of stock to be designated, respectively, "Common Stock" and
"Preferred Stock." The total number of shares which the Corporation is
authorized to issue is Fifty Four Million (54,000,000) shares. Fifty Million
(50,000,000) shares shall be Common Stock and Four Million (4,000,000) shares
shall be Preferred Stock. The Common Stock shall have a par value of $.01 per
share and the Preferred Stock shall have a par value of $.01 per share. No
shares of Preferred Stock are designated as "Series A Preferred Stock". Seven
Hundred Fifty Thousand (750,000) shares of Preferred Stock are designated as
"Series B Preferred Stock"

         The remaining shares of Preferred Stock may be divided into such number
of series as the Board of Directors may determine. The Board of Directors is
authorized to determine and alter the rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions granted to and imposed upon any wholly unissued series of Preferred
Stock, and to fix the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock and the
designation of any such series of Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors,
within the limits and restrictions stated in any resolution or resolutions of
the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares constituting any
series, may increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such
series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series subsequent to the
issuance of shares of that series.

         Upon amendment of this article, each outstanding share of Common Stock
of this


<PAGE>


Corporation shall be changed into .1895734 of one share Common Stock. No
fractional shares will be issued; instead, the Corporation will pay cash in lieu
of any fractional shares equal to the fair value of such fractions of a share as
determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

         B. RIGHTS, PREFERENCES AND RESTRICTIONS OF SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK.
The rights, preferences, restrictions and other matters relating to the
Series B Preferred Stock are as follows (NOTE: section references within this
Article III.B. are to other sections within this Article III.B. unless
otherwise expressly provided):

1.  DIVIDEND PROVISIONS. The holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock
shall, commencing after April 30, 1996, be entitled to receive cumulative
dividends in cash, subject to the availability of, and only out of, any funds
legally available therefor, prior and in preference to any declaration or
payment of any dividend (payable other than in common stock or other
securities and rights convertible into or entitling the holder thereof to
receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares of common stock of the
corporation; provided, however, that such convertible securities or rights
shall not rank, as to dividend or liquidation rights, prior to or on a parity
with the Series B Preferred Stock) on the common stock or any other series of
preferred stock or series or class of any other stock of the corporation and
prior and in preference to any payment of monies to any sinking or purchase
fund on the common stock or any other series of preferred stock or series or
class of any other stock of the corporation for the redemption or repurchase
thereof, at the rate of $0.2125 per share per annum payable in equal
semiannual installments of $0.10625 per share, on the last business day of
October and April each year, with the first dividend payment commencing
October 31, 1996, and upon redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock or
conversion thereof as otherwise provided herein. Provided, that if a dividend
is paid on the Common Stock prior to April 30, 1996, then the dividends
provided herein to be paid on the Series B Preferred Stock shall commence at
April 30, 1995. Dividends for less than a full calendar semi-annual period
shall be prorated, based on the actual number of days elapsed during such
semiannual period, divided by 180 days. Declared dividends on outstanding
shares of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be paid to record holders as
they appear on the stock register of the corporation at the close of business
on the 15th day of the month containing such dividend date as may be fixed by
the board of directors in advance of such dividend date, provided that no
such record date shall be more than 30 days prior to such dividend date.

2.  LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE; MERGER, CONSOLIDATION AND SALE.

                  (a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the Corporation, either voluntarily or involuntarily (an "Event of
Liquidation"), the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of
the Corporation to the holders of Common Stock or any other series of
Preferred Stock or series or class of any other stock of the Corporation by
reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the sum of
(i) $2.50 for each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock (hereafter
referred to as the "Original Series B Preferred Stock Issue Price") and (ii)
an amount equal to accrued but unpaid dividends on such share. If upon the
occurrence of such event, the assets and funds thus distributed among the
holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the
payment to such holders of the full aforesaid preferential amounts, then, the
entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution
shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series B Preferred
Stock in proportion to the amount of such stock owned by each such holder.
The Corporation shall mail to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock, at
least twenty (20) days prior to an Event of Liquidation, a notice setting
forth the date on which such Event of Liquidiation is expected to become
effective and the type and amount of anticipated proceeds per share of Common
Stock to be distributed with respect thereto and shall afford each such
holder the opportunity to convert such shares of Series B Preferred Stock
pursuant to subsection 3 (conditional upon the consummation of such Event of
Liquidation) prior to the consummation thereof.

<PAGE>


                  (b) A consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or
into any other corporation or corporations, or a sale, conveyance or
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or
the effectuation of an acquisition of the Corporation by another entity by
means of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than
fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Corporation is disposed of
(the "Sale") , shall be deemed to be an Event of Liquidation; provided,
however, that if holders of Series B Preferred Stock are to receive more than
the preferential amounts due them under subsection 2(a) above in the Sale,
then the Sale shall not be an Event of Liquidation and all holders of Series
B Preferred Stock shall participate ratably with the holders of Common Stock
and the holders of any other series of Preferred Stock with similar rights in
proportion to the amount of shares owned by each such holder on an
as-converted basis and shall not be entitled to receive any preferential
amounts.

3. CONVERSION. THE HOLDERS OF THE SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK SHALL HAVE CONVERSION
RIGHTS AS FOLLOWS (THE "CONVERSION RIGHTS"):

                  (a)      RIGHT TO CONVERT; AUTOMATIC CONVERSION.


<PAGE>


                           (i) Subject to subsection 3(c), each share of Series
B Preferred Stock plus accrued but unpaid dividends thereon shall be
convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of
issuance of such share, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent
for the Series B Preferred Stock, into such number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Original
Series B Issue Price plus the aggregate amount of accrued but unpaid dividends
thereon by the Conversion Price at the time in effect for such share. The
initial Conversion Price per share for shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall
be the Original Series B Issue Price; provided however, that the Conversion
Price for the Series B Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment as set
forth in subsection 3(c).

                           (ii) Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall
automatically convert into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price at the
time in effect for such Series B Preferred Stock immediately upon the initial
closing of the Corporation's sale of its Common Stock in a bona fide
underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration statement on an
appropriate form under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Public
Offering"), if the public offering price of which is not less than $6.00 per
share (adjusted to reflect subsequent stock dividends, stock splits or
recapitalizations); provided, however, if the public offering price is less than
$6.00 per share but at least $4.00 per share, then the conversion of shares of
Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock shall still be
automatically effected if the Corporation receives the written consent of the
holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred
Stock. Upon automatic conversion pursuant to this subsection 3(a)(ii), all
accrued but unpaid dividends shall be paid immediately upon the initial closing
of the Public Offering, in cash.

                  (b) MECHANICS OF CONVERSION. Before any holder of Series B
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common
Stock, he shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly
endorsed in blank, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for
the Series B Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice by mail, postage
prepaid, to the Corporation at its principal corporate office, of the election
to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which the
certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued. The
Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such
office to such holder of Series B Preferred Stock, or to the nominee or nominees
of such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common
Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall
be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the
date of such surrender of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be
converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the
record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock as of such date. If the
conversion is in connection with an underwritten offer of securities registered
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the conversion may, at the
option of any holder tendering Series B Preferred Stock for conversion, be
conditioned upon the closing with the underwriter of the sale of securities
pursuant to such offering, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive the
Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock shall
not be


<PAGE>


deemed to have converted such Series B Preferred Stock until immediately prior
to the closing of such sale of securities.

                  (c) CONVERSION PRICE ADJUSTMENTS OF PREFERRED STOCK. The
Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time as follows:

                           (i) In the event the Corporation should at any time
or from time to time after the date of the issuance of any shares of Series B
Preferred Stock fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of
Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in
additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible
into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly,
additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as "Common Stock
Equivalents") without payment of any consideration by such holder for the
additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the
additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof),
then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend distribution, split
or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price of the Series B
Preferred Stock shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be
increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding and those issuable with respect to Common Stock
Equivalents or other rights or securities of the Corporation.

                           (ii) If the number of shares of Common stock
outstanding at any time after the date of the issuance of any shares of Series B
Preferred Stock is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, then, following the record date of such combination, the
Conversion Price for the Series B Preferred Stock shall be appropriately
increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of
each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in
outstanding shares.

                  (d) OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. In the event the Corporation shall
declare a distribution with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock
payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the
Corporation or other persons, assets or options or rights not referred to in
subsection 3(c)(i), then, in each such case for the purpose of this subsection
3d., the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a
proportionate share of any such distribution as though they were the holders of
the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation into which their shares
of Series B Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed for the
determination of the holders of Common Stock of the Corporation entitled to
receive such distribution.

                  (e) RECAPITALIZATIONS. If at any time or from time to time
there shall be a capital reorganization of the Corporation or any
reclassification of the Common Stock or in case of the consolidation or merger
of the Corporation with any other person or entity or in case of any sale,
conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Corporation to an affiliate of the Corporation (other than a subdivision,
combination or Event of Liquidation or Sale as provided for elsewhere in
subsection 3 or subsection 2), the Corporation and the person


<PAGE>


or entity formed by such consolidation or resulting from such capital
reorganization, reclassification of capital stock or merger, as the case may be,
shall make provision in the articles or certificate of incorporation or other
governing instruments of such person such that each share of Series B Preferred
Stock shall thereafter be convertible only into the kind and amount of shares of
stock, other securities, cash and other property receivable upon such capital
reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger, sale,
conveyance or disposition, as the case may be, by a holder of the number of
shares of common Stock into which such shares of Series B Preferred Stock was
convertible immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification
of capital stock, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or disposition. In any
such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the
provisions of this subsection 3 with respect to the rights of the holders of the
Series B Preferred Stock after such capital reorganization, reclassification of
capital stock, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or disposition to the end
that the provisions of this subsection 3 (including adjustment of the Conversion
Price then in effect and the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of the
Series B Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event as nearly
equivalent as may be practicable.

                  (f) NO FRACTIONAL SHARES AND CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS.

                           (i) No fractional shares shall be issued upon
conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. If any fractional interest in shares
of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this subsection 3(f), be
deliverable upon the conversion of any Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation
shall, in lieu of delivering the fractional share therefore, adjust such
fractional interest by payment to the holder of such converted Series B
Preferred Stock an amount in cash equal to the current market value of such
fractional interest (computed to the nearest cent). Whether or not cash in lieu
of fractional shares are issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on
the basis of the total number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock the holder
is at the time converting into Common Stock and the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion.

                           (ii) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or
readjustment of the Conversion Price of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to
this subsection 3, the Corporation, at its expense, shall promptly compute such
adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and
furnish to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth
such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such
adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written
request at any time of any holder of Series B Preferred Stock, furnish or cause
to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (A) such
adjustment and readjustment, (B) the Conversion Price at the time in effect, and
(C) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other
property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of a share of
Series B Preferred Stock.

                  (g) NOTICES OF RECORD DATE. In the event of any taking by the
Corporation 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 or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase


<PAGE>


or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or
property, or to receive any other right, the Corporation shall mail to each
holder of Series B Preferred Stock, at least 20 days prior to the date specified
therein, a notice 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.

                  (h) RESERVATION OF STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION. The
Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized
but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the
conversion of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock such number of its
shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the
conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock; and if at
any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not
be sufficient to effect the conversion o f all then outstanding shares of the
Series B Preferred Stock, in addition to such other remedies as shall be
available to the holder of such Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation will
take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary
to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of
shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

                  (i) NOTICES. Any notice required by the provisions of this
subsection 3 to be given to the holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock
shall be deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid,
and addressed to each holder of record at his address appearing on the books of
the Corporation.

4.  VOTING RIGHTS.

                  (a) The holder of each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall
have the right to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such Series
B Preferred Stock could then be converted (with any fractional share determined
on an aggregate conversion basis being rounded to the nearest whole share), and
with respect to such vote, such holder shall have full voting rights and powers
equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of Common Stock, and shall
be entitled, notwithstanding any provision hereof, to notice of any
shareholders, meeting in accordance with the by-laws of the Corporation, and
shall be entitled to vote, together with holders of Common Stock, with respect
to any question upon which holders of Common Stock have the right to vote.

                  (b) ELECTION OF DIRECTORS. Notwithstanding subsection 4(a),
so long as the Corporation is in default in the payment of any dividends due
the holders of Series B Preferred Stock, the holders of Series B Preferred
Stock, voting as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect one (1)
director of the Corporation and the holders of Series B Preferred Stock and
Common Stock, voting on an as converted basis, shall be entitled to elect the
remaining directors of the Corporation. At such time as the Corporation is no
longer in default on the payment of any dividends due the holders of Series B
Preferred Stock, the special voting provisions set forth in the preceding
sentence shall no longer be effective and the voting

<PAGE>


provisions of Section 4(a). shall apply. The director elected by the holders
of Series B Preferred Stock shall thereupon be deemed to have resigned. At
any meeting held for the purpose of electing directors, the presence in
person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the Series B Preferred
Stock then outstanding shall constitute a quorum of the Series B Preferred
Stock for the election of directors to be elected solely by the holders of
Series B Preferred Stock. A vacancy in any directorship elected by the
holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be filled only by vote of the
holders of Series B Preferred Stock and a vacancy in the directorship elected
by the holders of Series B Preferred Stock and Common Stock voting together
shall be filled only by the vote of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock
and Common Stock voting together as provided above.

5.  REDEMPTION.

                  (a)      REDEMPTION BY THE CORPORATION.

                           (i) The Corporation shall have the right, but not the
obligation, exercisable at any time or from time to time after December 31,
2000, upon at least sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the holders of the
outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock to redeem all or some of the
outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, pro rata, by paying a sum per
share equal to the Original Series B Issue Price (subject to adjustments as a
result of distributions, if any, made pursuant to subsection 3(d) plus an amount
equal to all accrued but unpaid dividends, if any, through the date of
redemption.

                           (ii) In compliance with the applicable notice period
set forth in this subsection 5(a), the Corporation shall mail, postage prepaid,
to each holder of record of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed, at such
holder's address last shown on the records of the Corporation, notifying such
holder of such redemption, specifying the date fixed for the redemption (the
"Redemption Date"), which shall also be the date on which such holder's
Conversion Rights as to the shares called for redemption shall terminate, and
calling upon such holder to surrender to the Corporation, and in the manner and
at the place designated, such holder's certificate or certificates representing
the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed (such notice is
hereinafter referred to as the "Redemption Notice"), On or prior to the
Redemption Date, each holder of the Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed
shall surrender its certificate or certificates representing such shares to the
Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice,
and thereupon the appropriate redemption price as specified in this subsection
5(a) (the "Redemption Price") of such shares (except that such number of shares
shall be reduced by the number of shares which shall have been converted
pursuant to subsection 3 hereof between the date of notice of redemption and the
date on which Conversion Rights to such shares terminate) shall be payable to
the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates
as the owner therefor and each surrendered certificate shall be canceled. From
and after the Redemption Date, unless there shall have been a default in payment
of the Redemption Price (whether because there is no source of funds legally
available for such redemption or because such funds shall not be paid or made
available for payment), all rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred
Stock (except the right to receive the Redemption Price without interest upon
surrender of their certificate or certificates) shall cease


<PAGE>


with respect to such shares, and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred
on the books of the Corporation or be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose
whatsoever.

                  (b) REDEMPTION CONSIDERATION. Amounts to be paid pursuant to
subsection 5(a) shall be paid, at the sole discretion of the Corporation, in
cash or notes or any combination of cash and notes. The notes, if issued by the
Corporation in satisfaction of the redemption of Series B Preferred Stock, shall
bear interest, payable monthly, at ten percent (10%) per annum and shall provide
for repayment of the principal amount in two equal installments on the next two
immediately succeeding anniversary dates of the date of redemption of the shares
of Series B Preferred Stock so requested to be redeemed.

                  (c) SURRENDER OF CERTIFICATE. Except as prohibited pursuant to
applicable California corporate law, on or after the Redemption Date, each
holder of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender to this
Corporation the certificate or certificates representing such shares, and
thereupon the Redemption Price of such shares shall be payable to the order of
the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner
thereof and each surrendered certificate shall be canceled. In the event less
than all the shares represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new
certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares.

                  (d) NO DIVIDENDS AFTER REDEMPTION. From and after the
Redemption Date, unless there shall have been a default in payment of the
Redemption Price, all dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock designated for
redemption in the Redemption Notice shall cease to accrue, all rights of the
holders of such shares as holder of Series B Preferred Stock (except the right
to receive the Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of their
certificate or certificates) shall cease with respect to such shares, and such
shares shall not thereafter be transferred on the books of this Corporation or
be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever. Subject to the rights of
series of Preferred Stock which may from time to time come into existence, if
the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption on shares of
Series B Preferred Stock on any Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the
total number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such date,
those funds which are legally available will be used to redeem the maximum
possible number of such shares ratably among the holders of such shares to be
redeemed. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock not redeemed shall remain
outstanding and entitled to all the rights and preferences provided herein.
Subject to the rights of series of Preferred Stock which may from time to time
come into existence, at any time thereafter when additional funds of the Company
are legally available for the redemption of shares of Series B Preferred Stock,
such funds will immediately be used to redeem the balance of the shares which
the Company has become obligated to redeem on any Redemption Date but which it
has not redeemed; provided, however, that this Corporation shall give ten (10)
days advance written notice to each such holder of shares to be redeemed that
the Corporation at that time has funds available for the redemption of shares of
Series B Preferred Stock, and any such holder may direct that the Corporation
not redeem any or all of that holder's remaining shares previously requested by
that holder to be redeemed, and such shall not be redeemed, so long as written
notice of such direction is received by the Corporation no later than ten (10)
days after this Corporation's advance notice was given.

ARTICLE III.B., THE CORPORATION SHALL NOT REPURCHASE OR REDEEM ANY SHARES OF
COMMON STOCK OR ANY SHARES OF ANY SERIES OF PREFERRED STOCK OF THE CORPORATION,
EXCEPT FOR SHARES OF SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK.

7. REISSUANCE OF SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK. ANY SHARE OR SHARES OF SERIES B
PREFERRED STOCK OR OF ANY OTHER SERIES OR CLASS OF STOCK OF THE CORPORATION
ACQUIRED BY THIS CORPORATION BY REASON OF REDEMPTION, PURCHASE, CONVERSION OR
OTHERWISE SHALL BE RESTORED TO THE STATUS OF AUTHORIZED BUT UNISSUED SHARES OF
PREFERRED STOCK.

8. RESIDUAL RIGHTS. PREFERRED STOCK SHALL NOT HAVE ANY PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS. ALL
RIGHTS ACCRUING TO THE OUTSTANDING SHARES OF THE CORPORATION NOT EXPRESSLY
PROVIDED FOR TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN SHALL BE VESTED IN THE COMMON STOCK.


                                   ARTICLE IV

         No person acting as director of the Corporation shall be liable for
monetary damages in an action brought by or in the right of the Corporation upon
any breach by such person of his or her director's duties to the Corporation or
its shareholders except for such liability (i) for acts or omissions that
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, (ii)
for acts or omissions that a director believes to be contrary to the best
interests of the Corporation or its shareholders or that involve the absence of
good faith on the part of the director, (iii) for any transaction from which a
director derived an improper personal benefit, (iv) for acts or omissions that
show a reckless disregard for the director's duty to the Corporation or its
shareholders in circumstances in which the director was aware, or should have
been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a director's duties, of a risk
of serious injury to the Corporation or its shareholders, (v) for acts or
omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an
abdication of the director's duty to the Corporation or its shareholders, (vi)
under Section 310 of the California Corporations Code, or (vii) under Section
316 of the California Corporations Code.

         THREE: The foregoing Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation
have been approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

         FOUR: The foregoing Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation
was approved by the holders of the requisite number of shares of the
Corporation in accordance with Section 902 of the California General
Corporation Law. The total number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock
of the Corporation is 5,968,161 and the total number of outstanding shares of
the Series B Preferred Stock is 389,400. There are no outstanding shares of
Series A Preferred Stock. The number of shares voting in favor of the
foregoing amendment equaled or exceeded the vote required, such vote being
(i) a majority of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding plus
the number of shares of Common Stock into which the then outstanding Series B
Preferred Stock could have been then converted, voting together as a

class, and (ii) a majority of the number of shares of Common Stock then
outstanding, voting as a separate class.

         We further declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State
of California that the matters set forth in the foregoing certificate are true
and of our own knowledge.

     Section 1.  PRINCIPAL OFFICES. The board of directors shall fix the
location of the principal executive office of the corporation at any place
within or outside the State of California. If the principal executive office
is located outside California, and the corporation has one or more business
offices in California, the board of directors shall fix and designate a
principal business office in California.

     Section 2.  OTHER OFFICES. Branch or subordinate offices may be
established at any time and at any place by the board of directors.

                                     ARTICLE II

                             MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS

     Section 1.  PLACE OF MEETINGS. Meetings of shareholders shall be held at
any place within or outside the State of California designated by the board
of directors. In the absence of a designation by the board, shareholders'
meetings shall be held at the corporation's principal executive office.

     Section 2.  ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of the shareholders
shall be held each year on a date and at a time designated by the board of
directors. At each annual meeting, directors shall be elected, and any other
proper business within the power of the shareholders may be transacted. The
date so designated shall be within five (5) months after the end of the
corporation's fiscal year, and within fifteen (15) months after the last
annual meeting.

     Section 3.  SPECIAL MEETING. A special meeting of the shareholders may
be called at any time by the board of directors, by the chairman of the
board, by the president or by one or more shareholders holding shares that in
the aggregate are entitled to cast ten percent or more of the votes at that
meeting.

     If a special meeting is called by anyone other than the board of
directors, the person or persons calling the meeting shall make a request in
writing, delivered personally or sent by registered mail or by telegraphic or
other facsimile transmission, to the chairman of the board or the president,
vice president, or secretary, specifying the time of the meeting (which is
not less than 35 or more than 60 days after receipt of the request) and the
general nature of the business proposed to be transacted. Within 20 days
after receipt, the officer receiving the request shall cause notice to be
given to the shareholders entitled to vote, in accordance with Sections 4 and
5 of this Article II, stating that a meeting will be held at the time
requested by the person(s) calling the meeting, and stating the general
nature of the business proposed to be transacted. If notice is not given
within 20 days after receipt of the request, the person or persons requesting
the meeting may give the notice. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall be
construed as limiting, fixing, or affecting the time when a meeting of
shareholders called by action of the board may be held.

     Section 4.  NOTICE OF SHAREHOLDERS' MEETINGS. All notices of meetings of
shareholders shall be sent or otherwise given in accordance with Section 5 of
this Article II not fewer than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of
the meeting. Shareholders entitled to notice shall be determined in
accordance with Section 11 of this Article II. The notice shall specify the
place, date, and hour of the meeting, and (i) in the case of special meeting,
the general nature of the business to be transacted, or (ii) in the case of
the annual meeting, those matters which the board of directors, at the time
of giving the notice intends to present for action by the shareholders. If
directors are to be elected, the notice shall include the names of all
nominees whom the board intends at the time of the notice, to present for
election.


                                        1


<PAGE>

     The notice shall also state the general nature of any proposed action to
be taken at the meeting to approve any of the following matters: (i) a
transaction in which a director has a material financial interest, within the
meaning of Section 310 of the California Corporation Code; (ii) an amendment
of the articles of incorporation under Section 902 of that Code; (iii) a
reorganization under Section 1201 of that Code; (iv) a voluntary dissolution
under Section 1900 of that Code; or (v) a distribution in dissolution that
requires approval of the outstanding shares under Section 2007 of that Code.

     Section 5.  MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE; AFFIDAVIT OF NOTICE.  Notice of any
shareholders' meeting shall be given either personally or by first-class mail
or telegraphic or other written communication, charges prepaid, addressed to
the shareholder at the address appearing on the corporation's books or given
by the shareholder to the corporation for the purposes of notice. If no
address appears on the corporation's books or has been given as specified
above, notice shall be either (1) sent by first-class mail addressed to the
shareholder at the corporation's principal executive office, or (2) published
at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where the
corporation's principal executive office is located. Notice is deemed to
have been given at the time when delivered personally or deposited in the
mail or sent by other means of written communication.

     If any notice or report mailed to a shareholder at the address appearing
on the corporation's books is returned to the corporation by the United
States Postal Service marked to indicate that the United States Postal
Service is unable to deliver the document to the shareholder at that address,
all future notices or reports shall be deemed to have been duly given without
further mailing if the corporation holds the document available for the
shareholder on written demand at the corporation's principal executive office
for a period of one year from the date the notice or report was given to all
other shareholders.

     An affidavit of the mailing, or other authorized means of given notice
or delivering a document, of any notice of shareholders' meeting, report, or
other document sent to shareholders, may be executed by the corporation's
secretary, assistant secretary, or transfer agent, and shall be filed and
maintained in the minute book of the corporation.

     Section 6.  QUORUM.  The presence in person or by proxy of the holders
of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders
shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The shareholders
present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may
continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of
enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other
than adjournment) is approved by at least a majority of the shares required
to constitute a quorum.

     Section 7.  ADJOURNED MEETING; NOTICE.  Any shareholders meeting, annual
or special, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from time to
time by the vote of the majority of the shares represented at that meeting,
either in person or by proxy, but in the absence of a quorum, no other
business may be transacted at that meeting, except as provided in Section 6
of this Article II.

     When any meeting of the shareholders, either annual or special, is
adjourned to another time or place, notice of the adjourned meeting need not
be given if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which
the adjournment is taken, unless a new record date for the adjourned meeting
is fixed, or unless the adjournment is for more than 45 days from the date
set for the original meeting, in which case the board of directors shall set
a new record date and notice of any such adjourned meeting shall be given to
each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4 and 5 of this Article II. At any
adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business which might have
been transacted at the original meeting.

     Section 8.  VOTING.  The shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of
shareholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section
11 of this Article II, subject to the provisions of Section 702 through 704,
inclusive, of the California Corporations Code (relating to voting shares
held by a fiduciary, in the name of the corporation, or in joint ownership).
The shareholders' vote may be by voice vote or


                                        2


<PAGE>
by ballot, provided, however, that any election for directors must be by
ballot if demanded by any shareholder before the voting has begun. On any
matter other than election of directors, any shareholder may vote part of the
shares in favor of the proposal and refrain from voting the remaining shares
or vote them against the proposal, but, if the shareholder fails to specify
the number of shares that the shareholder is voting affirmatively, it will be
conclusively presumed that the shareholder's approving vote is with respect
to all shares that the shareholder is entitled to vote. If a quorum is
present, (or, if a quorum has been present earlier at the meeting, but some
shareholders have withdrawn), the affirmative vote of a majority of the
shares represented and voting, provided such shares voting affirmatively also
constitute a majority of the number of shares required for a quorum, shall be
the act of the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number or voting by
classes is required by law or by the articles of incorporation.

     At a shareholders' meeting at which directors are to be elected, no
shareholder shall be entitled to cumulate votes (i.e., cast for any
candidate a number of votes greater than the number of votes which that
shareholder normally would be entitled to cast) unless such candidates' names
have been placed in nomination before commencement of the voting and a
shareholder has given notice before the voting has begun of the shareholder's
intention to cumulate votes. If any one shareholder has given such a notice,
then all shareholders entitled to vote may cumulate their votes for
candidates in nomination, and may give one candidate a number of votes equal
to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to
which that shareholder's shares are normally entitled, or distribute the
shareholders votes on the same principle among any or all of the candidates,
as the shareholder thinks fit. The candidates receiving the highest number of
affirmative votes, up to the number of directors to be elected, shall be
elected.

     Section 9.   WAIVER OF NOTICE OR CONSENT BY ABSENT SHAREHOLDERS. The
transactions of any meeting of shareholders, either annual or special, however
called and noticed and wherever held, shall be as valid as though they were
had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum is
present either in person or by proxy, and if each person entitled to vote who
was not present in person or by proxy, either before or after the meeting,
signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to holding the meeting or an
approval of the minutes of the meeting. The waiver of notice or consent need
not specify either the business to be transacted or the purpose of any annual
or special meeting of shareholders, except that if action is taken or
proposed to be taken for approval of any of those matters specified in
Section 601(f) of the California Corporations Code, the waiver of notice or
consent is required to state the general nature of the action or proposed
action. All waivers, consents, and approvals shall be filed with the
corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.

     A shareholder's attendance at a meeting also constitutes a waiver of
notice of that meeting, unless the shareholder at the beginning of the
meeting objects to the transaction of any business on the ground that the
meeting was not lawfully called or convened. In addition attendance at a
meeting does not constitute a waiver of any right to object to consideration
of matters required by law to be included in the notice of the meeting which
were not so included, if that objection is expressly made at the meeting.

     Section 10.  SHAREHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING.
Any action that could be taken at an annual or special meeting of
shareholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if
consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the
holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of
votes that would be necessary to authorize or take that action at a meeting
at which all shares entitled to vote on that action were present and voted.

     Directors may be elected by written consent of the shareholders without
a meeting only if the written consents of all outstanding shares entitled to
vote are obtained, except that vacancies on the board (other than vacancies
created by removal) not filled by the board may be filled by the written
consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to
vote.

     All consents shall be filed with the secretary of the corporation and
shall be maintained in the corporate records. Any shareholder or other
authorized person who has given a written consent may revoke it by a writing
received by the secretary of the corporation before written consents of the
number of shares required to authorize the proposed action have been filed
with the secretary.

                                    3
<PAGE>

     Unless the consents of all shareholders entitled to vote have been
solicited in writing, prompt notice shall be given of any corporate action
approved by shareholders without a meeting by less than unanimous consent, to
those shareholders entitled to vote who have not consented in writing. As to
approvals required by California Corporations Code Section 310 (transactions
in which a director has a financial interest), Section 317 (indemnification
of corporate agents), Section 1201 (corporate reorganization), or Section
2007 (certain distributions on dissolution), notice of the approval shall be
given at least 10 days before the consummation of any action authorized by
the approval. Notice shall be given in the manner specified in Section 5 of
this Article II.

     Section 11.  RECORD DATE FOR SHAREHOLDER NOTICE OF MEETING, VOTING AND
GIVING CONSENT.

     (a)   For purposes of determining the shareholders entitled to receive
notice of and vote at a shareholders' meeting or give written consent to
corporate action without a meeting, the board may fix, in advance, a record
date that is not more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of a
shareholders' meeting, or not more than 60 days before any other action.

     (b)   If no record date is fixed:

           (i)     The record date for determining shareholders entitled to
receive notice of and vote at a shareholders' meeting shall be the business
day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or if notice is waived
as provided in Section 9 of this Article II, the business day next preceding
the day on which the meeting is held;

           (ii)    The record date for determining shareholders entitled to
give consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, if no prior
action has been taken by the board, shall be the day on which the first
written consent is given;

           (iii)   The record date for determining shareholders for any other
purpose shall be as set forth in Section 1 of Article VIII of these bylaws.

     (c)   A determination of shareholders of record entitled to receive
notice of and vote at a shareholder's meeting shall apply to any adjournment
of the meeting unless the board fixes a new record date for the adjourned
meeting. However, the board shall fix a new record date if the adjournment is
to a date more than 45 days after the date set for the original meeting.

     (d)   Only shareholders of record on the corporation's books at the
close of business on the record date shall be entitled to any of the notice
and voting rights listed in subsection (a) of this section, notwithstanding
any transfer of shares on the corporation's books after the record date,
except as otherwise required by law.

     Section 12.  PROXIES. Every person entitled to vote for directors or on
any other matter shall have the right to do so either in person or by one or
more agents authorized by a written proxy signed by the person and filed with
the secretary of the corporation. A proxy shall be deemed signed if the
shareholder's name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature,
typewriting, telegraphic transmission, or otherwise) by the shareholder or
the shareholder's attorney in fact. A validly executed proxy that does not
state that it is irrevocable shall continue in full force and effect unless
(a) revoked by the person executing it, before the vote pursuant to that
proxy, by a writing delivered to the corporation stating that the proxy is
revoked, or voting in person by the person executing the proxy or by a
subsequent proxy executed by the same person and presented at the meeting; or
(b) written notice of the death or incapacity of the maker of that proxy is
received by the corporation before the vote pursuant to that proxy is
counted; provided, however, that no proxy shall be valid after the expiration
of 11 months from the date of the proxy, unless otherwise provided in the
proxy. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is
irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Sections 705(e) and 705(f)
of the California Corporations Code.

     Section 13.  INSPECTORS OF ELECTION. Before any meeting of shareholders,
the board of directors may appoint any persons other than nominees for office
to act as inspectors of election at the meeting or its adjournment. If no
inspectors of election are so appointed, the chairman of the meeting may, and
on the request of any shareholder or a shareholder's proxy shall, appoint
inspectors of election at the meeting. The number of inspectors shall be
either one or three. If inspectors are appointed at a meeting on the request
of one or more shareholders or proxies, the meeting shall determine whether
one or three inspectors are to be appointed. If any person appointed as
inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, the chairman of the
meeting may, and upon the request of any shareholder or a shareholder's proxy
shall, appoint a person to fill that vacancy.

     These inspectors shall:

     (a)     Determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power
of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum,
and the authenticity, validity, and effect of proxies;

     (b)     Receive votes, ballots, or consents;

     (c)     Hear and determine all challenges and questions in any way
arising in connection with the right to vote;

     (d)     Count and tabulate all votes or consents;

     (e)     Determine when the polls shall close;

     (f)     Determine the result; and

     (g)     Do any other acts that may be proper to conduct the election or
vote with fairness to all shareholders.

                            ARTICLE III

                             DIRECTORS

     Section 1.     POWERS. Subject to the provisions of the California
General Corporation Law and any limitations in the articles of incorporation
and these bylaws relating to action required to be approved by the
shareholders or by the outstanding shares, the business and affairs of the
corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised by
or under the direction of the board of directors.

     Without prejudice to these general powers, and subject to the same
limitations, the directors shall have the power to:

     (a)     Select and remove all officers, agents and employees of the
corporation; prescribe any powers and duties for them that are consistent
with law, with the articles of incorporation, and with these bylaws; fix
their compensation, and require from them security for faithful service.

     (b)     Change the principal executive office or the principal business
office in the State of California from one location to another; cause the
corporation to be qualified to do business in any other state, territory,
dependency, or country and conduct business within or outside the State of
California; and designate and place within or outside the State of California
for the holding of any shareholders' meeting, or meetings, including annual
meetings.

     (c)     Adopt, make and use a corporate seal, prescribe the forms of
certificates of stock; and alter the form of the seal and certificates.

                                    5

<PAGE>

     (d)     Authorize the issuance of shares of stock of the corporation on
any lawful terms, in consideration of money paid, labor done, services
actually rendered, debts or securities canceled, or tangible or intangible
property actually received.

     (e)     Borrow money and incur indebtedness on behalf of the
corporation, and cause to be executed and delivered for the corporation's
purposes, in the corporate name, promissory notes, bonds, debentures, deeds
of trust, mortgages, pledges, hypothecations and other evidences of debt and
securities.

     Section 2.  NUMBER OF DIRECTORS. The number of directors shall not be
less than four (4) nor more than seven (7) as determined by approval of the
board, until changed by a duly adopted amendment to the articles of
incorporation or by an amendment to this bylaw adopted by the vote or written
consent of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. However, an
amendment that would reduce the authorized number of directors to a number
less than five cannot be adopted if the votes cast against its adoption at a
shareholders' meeting, or the shares not consenting to an action by written
consent, are equal to more than one sixth (16 2/3%) of the outstanding shares
entitled to vote.

     Section 3.  ELECTION AND TERM OF OFFICE OF DIRECTORS. Directors shall be
elected at each annual meeting of the shareholders to hold office until the
next annual meeting. Each director, including a director elected to fill a
vacancy, shall hold office until the expiration of the term for which elected
and until a successor has been elected and qualified.

     No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect
of removing any director before that director's term of office expires.

     Section 4. VACANCIES. A vacancy in the board of directors shall be
deemed to exist (a) if a director dies, resigns, or is removed by the
shareholders or an appropriate court, as provided in sections 303 or 304 of
the California Corporations Code; (b) if the board of directors declares
vacant the office of a director who has been convicted of a felony or
declared of unsound mind by an order of court; (c) if the authorized number
of directors is increased; or (d) if at any shareholders' meeting at which
one or more directors are elected the shareholders fail to elect the full
authorized number of directors to be voted for at that meeting.

     Any director may resign effective on giving written notice to the
chairman of the board, the president, the secretary, or the board of
directors, unless the notice specifies a later effective date. If the
resignation is effective at a future time, the board may elect a successor to
take office when the resignation becomes effective.

     Except for a vacancy caused by the removal of a director, vacancies on
the board may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office,
whether or not they constitute a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. A
vacancy on the board caused by the removal of a director may be filled only
by the shareholders, except that a vacancy created when the board declares
the office of a director vacant as provided in clause (b) of the first
paragraph of this section of the bylaws may be filled by the board of
directors.

     The shareholders may elect a director at any time to fill a vacancy not
filled by the board of directors.

     The term of office of a director elected to fill a vacancy shall run
until the next annual meeting of the shareholders, and such a director shall
hold office until a successor is elected and qualified.

     Section 5.  PLACE OF MEETINGS AND MEETINGS BY TELEPHONE. Regular meetings
of the board of directors may be held at any place within or outside the
State of California as designated from time to time by the board. In the
absence of a designation, regular meetings shall be held at the principal
executive office of the corporation. Special meetings of the board shall be
held at any place within or outside the State of California designated in the
notice of the meeting, or if the notice does not state a place, or if there
is no notice, at the principal executive office of the corporation. Any
meeting, regular or special, may be held by conference telephone or similar
communication equipment, provided that all directors participating can hear
one another.

     Section 6.  ANNUAL DIRECTORS' MEETING.  Immediately after each annual
shareholders' meeting, the board of directors shall hold a regular meeting at
the same place, or at any other place that has been designated by the board
of directors, to consider matters of organization, election of officers and
other business as desired. Notice of this meeting shall not be required
unless some place other than the place of the annual shareholders' meeting
has been designated.

     Section 7.  OTHER REGULAR MEETINGS.  Other regular meetings of the board
of directors shall be held without call at times to be fixed by the board of
directors from time to time. Such regular meetings may be held without notice.

     Section 8.  SPECIAL MEETINGS.  Special meetings of the board of
directors may be called for any purpose or purposes at any time by the
chairman of the board, the president or any two directors.

     Special meetings shall be held on four days' notice by mail or
forty-eight hours' notice delivered personally or by telephone or telegraph.
Oral notice given personally or by telephone may be transmitted either to the
director or to a person at the director's office who can reasonably be
expected to communicate it promptly to the director. Written notice, if used,
shall be addressed to each director at the address shown on the corporation's
records. The notice need not specify the purpose of the meeting, nor need it
specify the place if the meeting is to be held at the principal executive
office of the corporation.

     Section 9.  QUORUM.  A majority of the number of directors as determined
from time to time by the board as provided for herein shall constitute a
quorum for the transaction of business, except to adjourn as provided in
Section 11 of this Article III and subject to the requirements set forth
under Section 307(a)(7) of the California Corporations Code. Every act or
decision done or made by a majority of the directors present at a meeting
duly held at which a quorum is present shall be regarded as the act of the
board of directors, subject to the provisions of Section 310 of the
California Corporations Code (as to approval of contracts or transactions in
which a director has a direct or indirect material financial interest),
Section 311 (as to appointment of committees), and Section 317(e) (as to
indemnification of directors). A meeting at which a quorum is initially
present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of
directors, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the
required quorum for that meeting.

     Section 10.  WAIVER OF NOTICE.  Notice of a meeting although otherwise
required, need not be given to any director who (a) either before or after
the meeting signs a waiver of notice or a consent to holding the meeting
without being given notice, (b) signs an approval of the minutes of the
meeting, or (c) attends the meeting without protesting the lack of notice
before or at the beginning of the meeting. Waivers of notice or consents need
not specify the purpose of the meeting. All waivers, consents, and approvals
of the minutes shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of
the minutes of the meeting.

     Section 11.  ADJOURNMENT TO ANOTHER TIME OR PLACE.  Whether or not
constituting a quorum, a majority of the directors present may adjourn any
meeting to another time and place.

     Section 12.  NOTICE OF ADJOURNED MEETING.  Notice of the time and place
of resuming a meeting that has been adjourned need not be given, unless the
adjournment is for more than 24 hours, in which case notice shall be given,
before the time set for resuming the adjourned meeting, to the directors who
were not present at the time of adjournment. Notice need not be given in any
case to directors who were present at the time of adjournment.

     Section 13.  ACTION WITHOUT A MEETING.  Any action required or permitted
to be taken by the board of directors may be taken without a meeting, if all
members of the board shall individually or collectively consent in writing to
that action. Such action by written consent shall have the same force and
effect as a unanimous vote of the board of directors. All written consents
shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the board of directors.

     Section 14.  FEES AND COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS.  Directors and members
of committees of the board may be compensated for their services, and shall
be reimbursed for expenses, as fixed or

                                       7
<PAGE>

determined by resolution of the board of directors and approved by the
shareholders. This section shall not be construed to preclude any director
from serving the corporation in any other capacity, as an officer, agent,
employee, or otherwise, and receiving compensation for those services.

                                  ARTICLE IV

                                  COMMITTEES

     Section 1.  EXECUTIVE AND OTHER COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD.  The board of
directors may, by resolution adopted by a majority of the authorized number
of directors, designate an executive committee or one or more other
committees, each consisting of two or more directors. The board may designate
one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, to replace any
absent member at a committee meeting. The appointment of committee members or
alternative members requires a vote of a majority of the authorized number of
directors. A committee may be granted any or all of the powers and authority
of the board, to the extent provided in the resolution of the board, except
with respect to:

     (a)  Approving any action for which the California Corporations Code

or

     (g)  Appointing other committees of the board or their members.

committees shall be governed by, and held and taken in accordance with, bylaw
provisions applicable to meetings and actions of the board of directors, as
provided in Section 5 and Sections 7 through 13 of Article III of these
bylaws, as to the following matters: place of meetings, Section 5; regular
meeting, Section 7; special meetings and notice, Section 8; quorum, Section
9; waiver of notice, Section 10; adjournment, Section 11, notice of
adjournment, Section 12; and action without meeting, Section 13, with such
changes in the context of those bylaws as are necessary to substitute the
committee and its members for the board of directors and its members, except
that (a) the time of regular meetings of committees may be determined either
by resolution of the board of directors or by resolution of the committee;
(b) special meetings of committees may also be called by resolution of the
board of directors; and (c) notice of special meetings of committees shall
also be given to all alternate members, who shall have the right to attend
all meetings of the committee. The board of directors may adopt rules for the
governance of any committee not inconsistent with the provisions of these
bylaws.

chief executive officer and, subject to the control of the board of
directors, shall have general supervision, direction, and control over the

and duties of management usually vested in the office of president of a
corporation, and the president shall have other powers and duties as

chairman of the board or if there is no chairman of the board, shall also
preside at meetings of the board of directors.

     Section 8.  VICE PRESIDENTS.  If desired, one or more vice presidents
may be chosen by the board of directors in accordance with the provisions for
electing officers set forth in Section 2 of this Article V. In the absence or
disability of the president, the president's duties and responsibilities
shall be carried out by the highest ranking available vice president if vice
presidents are ranked, or if not, by a vice president designated by the board

                    INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS,
                          EMPLOYEES AND OTHER AGENTS

     Section 1.  AGENTS, PROCEEDINGS AND EXPENSES.  For the purposes of this
Article, "agent" means any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee, or other agent of this corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of this corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of
another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of a foreign

corporation; "proceeding" means any threatened, pending or completed action
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative; and

<PAGE>

without limitation, attorney's fees and any expenses of establishing a right
to indemnification under Section 4 or Section 5(c) of this Article VI.

     Section 2.  ACTIONS OTHER THAN BY THE CORPORATION.  This corporation
shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is
threatened to be made a party, to any proceeding (other than an action by or
in the right of this corporation to procure a judgment in its favor), by
reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of this corporation,
against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually
and reasonably incurred in the connection with such proceeding if that person
acted in good faith and in a manner that person reasonably believed to be in
the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of a criminal
proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of that person
was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendre or its equivalent
shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in
good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in the
best interests of this corporation, or that the person had reasonable cause
to believe that the person's conduct was unlawful.

     Section 3.  ACTIONS BY THE CORPORATION.  This corporation shall have the
power to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be
made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the
right of this corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the
fact that the person is or was an agent of this corporation, against expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by that person in connection with the
defense or settlement of that action if that person acted in good faith, in a
manner that person believed to be in the best interests of this corporation
and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, as an ordinarily prudent
person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. No
indemnification shall be made under this Section 3:

     (a)  With respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which that person
shall have been adjudged to be liable to this corporation in the performance
of that person's duty to this corporation, unless and only to the extent that
the court in which that action is or was pending shall determine upon
application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, that person
is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity of the expenses which the
court shall determine;

     (b)  Of amounts paid in settling or otherwise disposing of a threatened
or pending action, with or without court approval; or

     (c)  Of expenses incurred in defending a threatened or pending action
that is settled or otherwise disposed of without court approval.

     Section 4.  SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE BY AGENT.  To the extent that an agent of
this corporation has been successful on the merits in defense of any
proceeding referred to in Section 2 or 3 of this Article VI, or in defense of
any claim, issue, or matter therein, the agent shall be indemnified against
expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the agent in connection
therewith.

     Section 5.  REQUIRED APPROVAL.  Except as provided in Section 4 of this
Article VI, any indemnification under this Article shall be made by this
corporation only if authorized in the specific case, upon a determination
that indemnification of the agent is proper in the circumstances because the
agent has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 2 or 3
of this Article VI, by one of the following:

     (a)  A majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not
parties to the proceedings or by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion if such quorum of directors is not obtainable;

     (b)  (i)  the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of this
corporation entitled to vote represented at a duly held meeting at which a
quorum is present; or

     (c)  (ii) The written consent of holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares entitled to vote (for purposes of this subsection 5(b),
the shares owned by the person to be indemnified shall not be considered
outstanding or entitled to vote thereon); or

                                     11

<PAGE>

     (c)  The court in which the proceedings is or was pending, on
application made by this corporation or the agent or the attorney or other
person rendering services in connection with the defense, whether or not such
application by the agent, attorney, or other person is opposed by this
corporation.

     Section 6.  ADVANCE OF EXPENSES.  Expenses incurred in defending any
proceeding may be advanced by this corporation before the final disposition of
the proceeding on receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the agent to
repay the amount of the advanced unless it shall be determined ultimately
that the agent is entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Article.

     Section 7.  OTHER CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS.  Nothing contained in this Article
shall affect any right to indemnification to which persons other than
directors and officers of this corporation or any subsidiary hereof may be
entitled by contract or otherwise.

     Section 8.  LIMITATIONS.  No indemnification or advance shall be made
under this Article, except as provided in Section 4 or Section 5(c), in any
circumstances where it appears:

     (a)  That it would be inconsistent with a provision of the articles, a
resolution of the shareholders, or an agreement in effect at the time of the
accrual of the alleged cause of action asserted in the proceedings in which
the expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid, which prohibits or
otherwise limits indemnification; or

     (b)  That it would be inconsistent with any condition expressly imposed
by a court in approving a settlement.

     Section 9.  INSURANCE.  If so decided by the board of directors, this
corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any agent of the
corporation against any liability asserted against or incurred by the agent
in such capacity or arising out of the agent's status as such whether or not
this corporation would have the power to indemnify the agent against that
liability under the provisions of this section.

     Section 10. FIDUCIARIES OF CORPORATE EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN. This Article
does not apply to any proceeding against any trustee, investment manager, or
other fiduciary of an employee benefit plan in that person's capacity as such,
event though that person may also be an agent of the corporation. The
corporation shall have the power to indemnify, and to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of, any such trustee, investment manager, or other
fiduciary of any benefit plan for any or all of the directors, officers and
employees of the corporation or any of its subsidiary or affiliated
corporations.


                                ARTICLE VII

                             RECORDS AND REPORTS

     Section 1.  MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF SHARE REGISTER. The
corporation shall keep at its principal executive office, or at the office of
its transfer agent or registrar, if either be appointed and as determined by
resolution of the board of directors, a record of the names and addresses of
all shareholders and the number and class of shares held by each shareholder.

      A shareholder or shareholders of the corporation holding a least five
percent in the aggregate of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation
have the right to do either of both of the following: (a) inspect and copy
the record of shareholders' names and addresses and shareholdings during usual
business hours, on five days' prior written demand on the corporation, or (b)
obtain from the corporation's transfer agent, on written demand and tender of
the transfer agent's usual charges for this service, a list of the names and
address of shareholders who are entitled to vote for the election of
directors, and their shareholdings, as of the most recent record date for
which a list has been compiled or as of a specified date later than the date
of demand. This list shall be made available within five days after (i)
the date of demand, or (ii) the specified later date as of which the list is
to be compiled. The record of shareholders shall also be open to inspection
on the written demand of any shareholder or holder of a voting trust
certificate, at any time during usual business hours, for a purpose


                                      12


<PAGE>

reasonably related to the holder's interests as a shareholder or holder of a
voting trust certificate. Any inspection and copying under this section may
be made in person or by an agent or attorney of the shareholder or holder of
a voting trust certificate making the demand.

     Section 2.  MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF BYLAWS. The corporation shall
keep at its principal executive office, or if its principal executive office
is not in the State of California, at its principal business office in this
state, the original or a copy of the bylaws as amended to date, which shall
be open to inspection by the shareholders at all reasonable times during
office hours. If the principal executive office of the corporation is outside
the State of California and the corporation has no principal business office
in this state, the secretary shall, upon the written request of any
shareholder, furnish to that shareholder a copy of the bylaws as amended to
date.

     Section 3.  MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF MINUTES AND ACCOUNTING
RECORDS. The minutes of proceedings of the shareholders, board of directors,
and committees of the board, and the accounting books and records shall be
kept at the principal executive office of the corporation, or at such other
place or places as designated by the board of directors. The minutes shall be
kept in written form, and the accounting books and records shall be kept
either in written form or in a form capable of being converted into written
form. The minutes and accounting books and records shall be open to
inspection on the written demand of any shareholder or holder of a voting
trust certificate at any reasonable time during usual business hours, or a
purpose reasonably related to the holder's interests as a shareholder or
holder of a voting trust certificate. The inspection may be made in person or
by an agent or attorney, and shall include the right to copy and make
extracts. These rights of inspection shall extend to the records of each
subsidiary of the corporation.

     Section 4.  INSPECTION BY DIRECTORS.  Every director shall have the
absolute right at any reasonable time to inspect all books, records and
documents of every kind and the physical properties of the corporation and
each of its subsidiary corporations. This inspection by a director may be
made in person or by an agent or attorney and the right or inspection
includes the right to copy and make extracts of documents.

     Section 5.  ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS.  Inasmuch as, and for as long
as, there are fewer than 100 shareholders, the requirement of an annual
report to shareholders referred to in Section 1501 of the California
Corporations Code is expressly waived. However, nothing in this provision
shall be interpreted as prohibiting the board of directors from issuing
annual or other periodic reports to the shareholders, as the board considers
appropriate.

     Section 6.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.  The corporation shall keep a copy of
each annual financial statement, quarterly or other periodic income
statement, and accompanying balance sheets prepared by the corporation on
file in the corporation's principal executive office for 12 months; these
documents shall be exhibited at all reasonable times, or copies provided, to
any shareholder on demand.

     If no annual report for the last fiscal year has been sent to
shareholders, on written request of any shareholder made more than 120 days
after the close of the fiscal year the corporation shall deliver or mail to
the shareholder, within 30 days after the receipt of the request, a balance
sheet as of the end of that fiscal year and an income statement and statement
of changes in financial position for that fiscal year.

     A shareholder or shareholders holding five percent or more of the
outstanding shares of any class of stock of the corporation may request in
writing an income statement for the most recent three-month, six-month, or
nine-month period (ending more than 30 days before the date of the request)
of the current fiscal year, and a balance sheet of the corporation as of the
end of that period. If such documents are not already prepared the chief
financial officer shall cause them to be prepared and shall deliver the
documents personally or mail them to the requesting shareholders within 30
days after receipt of the request. A balance sheet, income statement, and
statement of changes in financial position for the last fiscal year shall
also be included, unless the corporation has sent the shareholders an annual
report for the last fiscal year.

     Quarterly income statements and balance sheets referred to in this
section shall be accompanied by the report, if any, of independent
accountants engaged by the corporation or the certificate of an authorized
corporate officer stating that the financial statements were prepared without
audit from the corporation's books and records.

     Section 7.  ANNUAL STATEMENT OF GENERAL INFORMATION.

     (a)  Every year, during the calendar month in which the original
articles of incorporation were filed with the California Secretary of State,
or during the preceding five calendar months, the corporation shall file a
statement with the Secretary of State on the prescribed form, setting forth
the authorized number of directors; the names and complete business or
residence addresses of all incumbent directors; the names and complete
business or residence address of the chief executive officer, the secretary,
and the chief financial officer; the street address of the corporation's

business constituting the principal business activity of the corporation; and
a designation of the agent of the corporation for the purpose of service of
process, all in compliance with section 1502 of the California Corporations
Code.

     (b)  Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) of this section, if
there has been no change in the information contained in the corporation's
last annual statement on file in the Secretary of State's office, the
corporation may, in lieu of filing the annual statement described in
paragraph (a) of this section, advise the Secretary of State, on the
appropriate form, that no changes in the required information have occurred
during the applicable period.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                           GENERAL CORPORATE MATTERS

     Section 1.  RECORD DATE FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN NOTICE AND VOTING. For
purposes of determining the shareholders entitled to receive payment of
dividends or other distributions or allotment of rights, or entitled to
exercise any rights in respect of any other lawful action (other than voting
at and receiving notice of shareholders' meetings and giving written consent
of the shareholders without a meeting), the board of directors may fix in
advance a record date which shall be not more than 60 nor less than 10 days
before the date of the dividend payment, distribution, allotment, or other
action. If a record date is so fixed, only shareholders of record at the
close of business on that date shall be entitled to receive the dividend,
distribution, or allotment of rights, or to exercise the other rights, as the
case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of shares on the corporation's book
after the record date, except as otherwise provided by statute.

     If the board of directors does not so fix a record date in advance, the
record date shall be at the close of business on the later of (1) the day on
which the board of directors adopts the applicable resolution or (2) the 60th
day before the date of the dividend payment, distribution, allotment of
rights, or other action.

     Section 2.  AUTHORIZED SIGNATORIES FOR CHECKS. All checks, drafts, other
orders for payment of money, notes, or other evidences of indebtedness issued
in the name of or payable to the corporation shall be signed or endorsed by
such person or persons and in such manner authorized from time to time by
resolution of the board of directors.

     Section 3.  EXECUTING CORPORATE CONTRACTS AND INSTRUMENTS. Except as
otherwise provided in the articles or in these bylaws, the board of directors
by resolution may authorize any officer, officers, agent, or agents to enter
into any contract or to execute any instrument in the name of and on behalf
of the corporation. This authority may be general or it may be confined to
one or more specific matters. No officer, agent, employee, or other person
purporting to act on behalf of the corporation shall have any power or
authority to bind the corporation in any way, to pledge the corporation's
credit, or to render the corporation liable for any purpose or in any amount,
unless that person was acting with authority duly granted by the board of
directors as provided in these bylaws, or unless an unauthorized act was
later ratified by the corporation.

     Section 4.  CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES.  A certificate or certificates for
shares of the capital stock of the corporation shall be issued to each
shareholder when any of the shares are fully paid. In addition to

                                        14
<PAGE>


certificates for fully paid shares, the board of directors may authorize the
issuance of certificates for shares that are partly paid and subject to call
for the remainder of the purchase price, provided that the certificates
representing partly paid shares shall state the total amount of the
consideration to be paid for the shares and the amount actually paid.

     All certificates shall certify the number of shares and the class or
series of shares represented by the certificate. All certificates shall be
signed in the name of the corporation by (1) either the chairman of the board
of directors, the vice chairman of the board of directors, the president, or
any vice president, and (2) either the chief financial officer, treasurer,
any assistant treasurer, the secretary, or any assistant secretary.

     Any of the signatures on the certificate may be facsimile. If any
officer, transfer agent, or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile
signature has been placed on a certificate shall cease to be that officer,
transfer agent, or registrar before that certificate is issued, the
certificate may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if that
person were an officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date of issue.

     Section 5.  LOST CERTIFICATES.  Except as provided in this Section 5, no
new certificates for shares shall be issued to replace old certificates
unless the old certificate is surrendered to the corporation for cancellation
at the same time. If share certificates or certificates for any other
security have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, the board of directors may
authorize the issuance of replacement certificates on terms and conditions as
required by the board, which may include a requirement that the owner give
the corporation a bond (or other adequate security) sufficient to indemnify
the corporation against any claim that may be made against it (including any
expense or liability) on account of the alleged loss, theft, or destruction
of the old certificate or the issuance of the replacement certificate.

     Section 6.  SHARES OF OTHER CORPORATIONS; HOW VOTED.  Shares of other
corporations standing in the name of this corporation shall be voted by one
of the following persons, listed in order of preference: (1) chairman of the
board, or person designated by the chairman of the board; (2) president, or
person designated by the president; (3) first vice president, or person
designated by the first vice president; (4) other person designated by the
board of directors.

     The authority to vote shares granted by this section includes the
authority to execute a proxy in the name of the corporation for purposes of
voting the shares.

     Section 7.  CONSTRUCTION AND DEFINITIONS. Unless the context requires
otherwise, the general provisions, rules of construction, and definitions in
sections 100 through 195 of the California Corporations Code shall govern the
construction of these bylaws. Without limiting the generality of this
provision, the singular number includes the plural, the plural number
includes the singular, and the term "person" includes both a corporation and a
natural person.


                                  ARTICLE IX

                                  AMENDMENTS

     Section 1.  AMENDMENT BY BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR SHAREHOLDERS. Except as
otherwise required or prohibited by law or by the articles of incorporation,
these bylaws may be amended or repealed, and new bylaws may be adopted, by
the board of directors or by the holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares entitled to vote.

     Section 2.  AMENDMENT IN CONFORMITY WITH LAW. To the extent these bylaws
make reference to a provision or provisions of the California Corporations
Code and any such provisions are renumbered, then these bylaws shall be
deemed to be amended to reflect such renumbering and, further, to the extent
any of the provisions of these bylaws are or subsequently become conflicting
with any substantive, mandatory requirement of the California Corporations
Code, then these bylaws shall be deemed to be amended to conform to such
applicable provisions of the California Corporations Code.

     THIS CERTIFIES THAT



or registered assigns, is the registered holder of the number of Warrants (the
"Warrants") set forth above.  Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to
purchase from ImageWare Systems, Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws
of the State of California (the "Company"), subject to the terms and conditions
set forth hereinafter and in the Warrant Agreement hereinafter more fully
described (the "Warrant Agreement"), at any time on or before the close of
business on __________, 2005 or, if such Warrant is redeemed as provided in the
Warrant Agreement, at any time prior to the effective time of such redemption
(the "Expiration Date"), one fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock
of the Company (the "Common Stock") upon presentation and surrender of this
Warrant Certificate, with the instructions for the registration and delivery of
Common Stock filled in, at the stock transfer office in Denver, Colorado, of
American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Warrant Agent of the Company (the
"Warrant Agent") or of its successor warrant agent or, if there be no successor
warrant agent, at the corporate offices of the Company, and upon payment of the
Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) and any applicable taxes
paid either in cash, or by certified or official bank check, payable in lawful
money of the United States of America to the order of the Company.  Each Warrant
initially entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock initially
for $[120% of the initial public offering price of the Units].  The Exercise
Price shall be adjusted on the first anniversary of the closing of the Company's
initial public offering to 150% of the initial public offering price of the
Units. The number and kind of securities or other property for which the
Warrants are exercisable are subject to further adjustment in certain events,
such as mergers, splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like, to
prevent dilution.  After six months following the closing of the Company's
initial public offering, the Company may redeem any or all outstanding and
unexercised Warrants at any time if the Daily Price has exceeded $_____ for ten
consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of notice of such
redemption, upon 30 days notice, at a price equal to $0.25 per Warrant.  For the
purpose of the foregoing sentence, the term "Daily Price" shall mean, for any
relevant day, the closing bid price on that day as reported by the principal
exchange or quotation system on which prices for the Common Stock are reported.
All Warrants not theretofore exercised or redeemed will expire on _________,
2005.

<PAGE>

     This Warrant Certificate is subject to all of the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Warrant Agreement, dated as of ____________, 2000 (the
"Warrant Agreement"), between the Company and the Warrant Agent, to all of which
terms, provisions and conditions the registered holder of this Warrant
Certificate consents by acceptance hereof.  The Warrant Agreement is
incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof and reference is made to
the Warrant Agreement for a full description of the rights, limitations of
rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Warrant Agent, the Company and
the holders of the Warrant Certificates.  Copies of the Warrant Agreement are
available for inspection at the stock transfer office of the Warrant Agent or
may be obtained upon written request addressed to the Company at 10833 Thornmint
Road, San Diego, CA  92127, Attention: Chief Financial Officer.

     The Company shall not be required upon the exercise of the Warrants
evidenced by this Warrant Certificate to issue fractions of Warrants, Common
Stock or other securities, but shall make adjustment therefor in cash on the
basis of the current market value of any fractional interest as provided in the
Warrant Agreement.

     In certain cases, the sale of securities by the Company upon exercise of
Warrants would violate the securities laws of the United States, certain states
thereof or other jurisdictions.  The Company has agreed to use all commercially
reasonable efforts to cause a registration statement to continue to be effective
during the term of the Warrants with respect to such sales under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and to take such action under the laws of various
states as may be required to cause the sale of securities upon exercise to be
lawful.  However, the Company will not be required to honor the exercise of
Warrants if, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, upon advice of counsel,
the sale of securities upon such exercise would be unlawful.  In certain cases,
the Company may, but is not required to, purchase Warrants submitted for
exercise for a cash price equal to the difference between the market price of
the securities obtainable upon such exercise and the exercise price of such
Warrants.

     This Warrant Certificate, with or without other Warrant Certificates, upon
surrender to the Warrant Agent, any successor warrant agent or, in the absence
of any successor warrant agent, at the corporate offices of the Company, may be
exchanged for another Warrant Certificate or Certificates evidencing in the
aggregate the same number of Warrants as the Warrant Certificate or Certificates
so surrendered.  If the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate shall be
exercised in part, the holder hereof shall be entitled to receive upon surrender
hereof another Warrant Certificate or Certificates evidencing the number of
Warrants not so exercised.

     No holder of this Warrant Certificate, as such, shall be entitled to vote,
receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Stock or any other
securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise
hereof for any purpose whatever, nor shall anything contained in the Warrant
Agreement or herein be construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant
Certificate, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any
right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to
stockholders at any meeting thereof or give or withhold consent to any corporate
action (whether upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting
thereof, or give or withhold consent to any merger,


<PAGE>

recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par
value or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, conveyance or
otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings or other actions affecting
stockholders (except as provided in the Warrant Agreement) or to receive
dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until the Warrants evidenced by
this Warrant Certificate shall have been exercised and the Common Stock
purchasable upon the exercise thereof shall have become deliverable as
provided in the Warrant Agreement.

     If this Warrant Certificate shall be surrendered for exercise within any
period during which the transfer books for the Company's Common Stock or other
class of stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants evidenced by this
Warrant Certificate are closed for any purpose, the Company shall not be
required to make delivery of certificates for shares purchasable upon such
transfer until the date of the reopening of said transfer books.

     Every holder of this Warrant Certificate by accepting the same consents and
agrees with the Company, the Warrant Agent, and with every other holder of a
Warrant Certificate that:

     (a)  This Warrant Certificate is transferable on the registry books of the
Warrant Agent only upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Warrant
Agreement; and

     (b)  The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the person in
whose name this Warrant Certificate is registered as the absolute owner hereof
(notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by
anyone other than the Company or the Warrant Agent) for all purposes whatever
and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to
the contrary.

     The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate for
shares of Common Stock or other securities upon the exercise of Warrants
evidenced by this Warrant Certificate until any tax which may be payable in
respect thereof by the holder of this Warrant Certificate pursuant to the
Warrant Agreement shall have been paid, such tax being payable by the holder of
this Warrant Certificate at the time of surrender.

     This Warrant Certificate shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose
until it shall have been countersigned by the Warrant Agent.

     WITNESS the facsimile signatures of the proper officers of the Company and
its corporate seal.

     2.   EXERCISE OF WARRANTS.  All or any part of the Warrant may be
exercised commencing on the first anniversary of the Effective Date and
ending at 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the fifth anniversary of the Effective
Date by surrendering this Warrant Certificate, together with appropriate
instructions, duly executed by the Warrantholder or by its duly authorized
attorney, at the office of the Company, 10833 Thornmint Road, San Diego,
California 92127, or at such other office or agency as the Company may
designate.  Upon receipt of notice of exercise, the Company shall immediately
instruct its transfer agent to prepare certificates for the Securities to be
received by the Warrantholder upon completion of the Warrant exercise.  When
such certificates are prepared, the Company shall notify the Warrantholder
and deliver such certificates to the Warrantholder or as per the
Warrantholder's instructions immediately upon payment in full by the
Warrantholder, in lawful money of the United States, of the Exercise Price
payable with respect to the Securities being purchased.  If the Warrantholder
shall represent and warrant that all applicable registration and prospectus
delivery requirements for their sale have been complied with upon sale


Page 2 - Purchase Warrant
<PAGE>

of the securities received upon exercise of the Warrant, such certificates
shall not bear a legend with respect to the Act.

     If fewer than all the Securities purchasable under the Warrant are
purchased, the Company will, upon such partial exercise, execute and deliver
to the Warrantholder a new Warrant Certificate (dated the date hereof), in
form and tenor similar to this Warrant Certificate, evidencing that portion
of the Warrant not exercised.  The Securities to be obtained on exercise of
the Warrant will be deemed to have been issued, and any person exercising the
Warrants will be deemed to have become a holder of record of those
Securities, as of the date of the payment of the Exercise Price.

     3.   ADJUSTMENTS IN CERTAIN EVENTS.  The number, class, and price of
Securities for which this Warrant Certificate may be exercised are subject to
adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:

          (a)  If the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock are
divided into a greater number of shares or a dividend in stock is paid on the
Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is
then exercisable will be proportionately increased and the Exercise Price
will be proportionately reduced; and, conversely, if the outstanding shares
of Common Stock are combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock,
the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is then
exercisable will be proportionately reduced and the Exercise Price will be
proportionately increased. The increases and reductions provided for in this
subsection 3(a) will be made with the intent and, as nearly as practicable,
the effect that neither the percentage of the total equity of the Company
obtainable on exercise of the Warrants nor the price payable for such
percentage upon such exercise will be affected by any event described in this
subsection 3(a).

          (b)  In case of any change in the Common Stock through merger,
consolidation, reclassification, reorganization, partial or complete
liquidation, purchase of substantially all the assets of the Company, or
other change in the capital structure of the Company, then, as a condition of
such change, lawful and adequate provision will be made so that the holder of
this Warrant Certificate will have the right thereafter to receive upon the
exercise of the Warrant the kind and amount of shares of stock or other
securities or property to which he would have been entitled if, immediately
prior to such event, he had held the number of shares of Common Stock
obtainable upon the exercise of the Warrant.  In any such case, appropriate
adjustment will be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein
with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Warrantholder, to
the end that the provisions set forth herein will thereafter be applicable,
as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of stock or other
property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrant.  The
Company will not permit any change in its capital structure to occur unless
the issuer of the shares of stock or other securities to be received by the
holder of this Warrant Certificate, if not the Company, agrees to be bound by
and comply with the provisions of this Warrant Certificate.

          (c)  When any adjustment is required to be made in the number of
shares of Common Stock, other securities, or the property purchasable upon
exercise of the Warrant, the Company will promptly determine the new number of
such shares or other securities or property


Page 3 - Purchase Warrant
<PAGE>

purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant and (i) prepare and retain on file a
statement describing in reasonable detail the method used in arriving at the
new number of such shares or other securities or property purchasable upon
exercise of the Warrant and (ii) cause a copy of such statement to be mailed
to the Warrantholder within thirty (30) days after the date of the event
giving rise to the adjustment.

          (d)  No fractional shares of Common Stock or other securities will
be issued in connection with the exercise of the Warrant, but the Company
will pay, in lieu of fractional shares, a cash payment therefor on the basis
of the mean between the bid and asked prices of the Common Stock in the
over-the-counter market or the last sale price of the Common Stock on the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market or a national securities exchange on the day
immediately prior to exercise.

          (e)  If securities of the Company or securities of any subsidiary
of the Company are distributed pro rata to holders of Common Stock, such
number of securities will be distributed to the Warrantholder or his assignee
upon exercise of his rights hereunder as such Warrantholder or assignee would
have been entitled to if this Warrant Certificate had been exercised prior to
the record date for such distribution.  The provisions with respect to
adjustment of the Common Stock provided in this Section 3 will also apply to
the securities to which the Warrantholder or his assignee is entitled under
this subsection 3 (e).

          (f)  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, there will be
no adjustment made hereunder on account of the sale by the Company of the
Common Stock or other Securities purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant.

     4.   RESERVATION OF SECURITIES.  The Company agrees that the number of
shares of Common Stock, Unit Warrants or other Securities sufficient to provide
for the exercise of the Warrant upon the basis set forth above will at all times
during the term of the Warrant be reserved for issuance upon exercise of the
Warrant.

     5.   VALIDITY OF SECURITIES.  All Securities delivered upon the exercise of
the Warrant will be duly and validly issued in accordance with their terms, and
the Company will pay all documentary and transfer taxes, if any, in respect of
the original issuance thereof upon exercise of the Warrant.

     6.   REGISTRATION OF SECURITIES ISSUABLE ON EXERCISE OF WARRANT
CERTIFICATE.

          (a)  The Company will register the Securities with the Commission
pursuant to the Act so as to allow the unrestricted sale of the Securities to
the public from time to time commencing on the first anniversary of the
Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the fifth anniversary
of the Effective Date (the "Registration Period").  The Company will also file
such applications and other documents necessary to permit the sale of the
Securities to the public during the Registration Period in those states
designated by the Warrantholders among those in which the Units were qualified
for sale in the Offering or in such other states as the Company and the
Warrantholder agree to.  In order to comply with the provisions of this Section
6(a), the Company is not required to file more than one registration statement
in addition to the Registration Statement.


Page 4 - Purchase Warrant
<PAGE>

          (b)  The Company will pay all of the Company's Expenses and each
Warrantholder will pay its pro rata share of the Warrantholder's Expenses
relating to the registration, offer and sale of the Securities.

          (c)  Except as specifically provided herein, the manner and conduct
of the registration, including the contents of the registration statement,
will be entirely in the control and at the discretion of the Company.  The
Company will file such post-effective amendments and supplements as may be
necessary to maintain the currency of the registration statement during the
Registration Period.  In addition, if the Warrantholder participating in the
registration is advised by counsel that the registration statement, in their
opinion, is deficient in any material respect, the Company will use its best
efforts to cause the registration statement to be amended to eliminate the
concerns raised.

          (d)  The Company will furnish to the Warrantholder the number of
copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity
with the requirements of the Act, and such other documents as it may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Securities owned
by it.

          (e)  The Company will, at the request of Warrantholders holding at
least 50 percent of the then outstanding Warrants, (i) furnish an opinion of
the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of the registration
pursuant to this Section 6, addressed to the Warrantholders and any
Participating Underwriter, (ii) in the event of an underwritten offering,
furnish an appropriate letter from the independent public accountants of the
Company, addressed to the Warrantholders and any Participating Underwriter,
and (iii) make such representations and warranties to the Warrantholders and
any Participating Underwriter as are customarily given to underwriters of
public offerings of equity securities in connection with such offerings.  A
request pursuant to this subsection (e) may be made on three occasions.  The
documents required to be delivered pursuant to this subsection (e) will be
dated within ten days of the request and will be, in form and substance,
equivalent to similar documents furnished to the underwriters in connection
with the Offering, with such changes as may be appropriate in light of
changed circumstances.

     7.   INDEMNIFICATION IN CONNECTION WITH REGISTRATION.

          (a)  If any of the Securities are registered, the Company will
indemnify and hold harmless each selling Warrantholder, any person who
controls any selling Warrantholder within the meaning of the Act, and any
Participating Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages, or
liabilities, joint or several, to which any Warrantholder, controlling
person, or Participating Underwriter may be subject under the Act or
otherwise; and it will reimburse each Warrantholder, each controlling person,
and each Participating Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by the Warrantholder, controlling person, or Participating
Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action, insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
or liabilities, joint or several (or actions in respect thereof), arise out
of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained, on the effective date thereof, in any such
registration statement or any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, or
any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated


Page 5 - Purchase Warrant
<PAGE>

therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Company will not be liable in any case to the extent that
any loss, claim, damage, or liability arises out of or is based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
made in any registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus,
or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information furnished by a Warrantholder for use in the
preparation thereof.  The indemnity agreement contained in this subsection
will not apply to amounts paid to any claimant in settlement of any suit or
claim unless such payment is first approved by the Company, such approval not
to be unreasonably withheld.

          (b)  Each selling Warrantholder, as a condition of the Company's
registration obligation, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each
of its directors, each of its officers who have signed any registration
statement or other filing, or any amendment or supplement thereto, and any
person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, against any
losses, claims, damages, or liabilities to which the Company or any such
director, officer, or controlling person may become subject under the Act or
otherwise, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by the Company or any such director, officer, or controlling person in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability, or action, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in said registration
statement, any preliminary or final prospectus, or other filing or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
but only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission was made in said registration statement,
preliminary or final prospectus, or other filing, or amendment or supplement,
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such
Warrantholder for use in the preparation thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
indemnity agreement contained in this subsection (b) will not apply to
amounts paid to any claimant in settlement of any suit or claim unless such
payment is first approved by the Warrantholder, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld.

          (c)  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such
indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against
an indemnifying party, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof; but the omission to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve
it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise
than under subsections (a) and (b).

          (d)  If any such action is brought against any indemnified party
and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
indemnifying party will be entitled 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 satisfactory to such
indemnified party; and after notice from the indemnifying party to such
indemnified party of its election to assume the defense thereof, the
indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal
or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation.

     8.   RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.  This Warrant Certificate and the Warrant
may not be sold, transferred, assigned or hypothecated for a one-year period
after the Effective Date except to underwriters of the Offering or to
individuals who are either a partner or an officer of such an underwriter or by
will or by operation of law.  The Warrant may be divided or combined, upon
request to the Company by the Warrantholder, into a certificate or certificates
evidencing the same aggregate number of Warrants.

     9.   NO RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the
Warrantholder will not, by virtue of ownership of the Warrant, be entitled to
any rights of a shareholder of the Company but will, upon written request to the
Company, be entitled to receive such quarterly or annual reports as the Company
distributes to its shareholders.

     10.  OPTIONAL CONVERSION.

     (a)  In addition to and without limiting the right of any Warrantholder
under the terms of this Warrant, the Warrantholder shall have the right (the
"Conversion Right") to convert this Warrant or any portion thereof into
Securities as provided in this Section 10 at any time or from time-to-time after
the first anniversary of the date hereof and prior to its expiration.  Upon
exercise of the Conversion Right with respect to a particular number of Units
subject to this Warrant (the "Converted Securities"), the Company shall deliver
to the holder of this Warrant, without payment by the holder of any exercise
price or any cash or other consideration, that number of Units equal to the
quotient obtained by dividing the Net Value (as hereinafter defined) of the
Converted Securities by the sum of the fair market value (as defined in
paragraph (c) below) of a single share of Common Stock plus a single Unit
Warrant, determined in each case as of the close of business on the Conversion
Date (as hereinafter defined).  The "Net Value" of the Converted Securities
shall be determined by subtracting the aggregate Exercise Price of the Converted
Securities from the aggregate fair market value of the Converted Securities.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10 to the contrary, the Conversion
Right cannot be exercised with respect to a number of Converted Securities
having a Net Value below $100.  No fractional shares shall be issuable upon
exercise of the Conversion Right, and if the number of shares to be issued in
accordance with the foregoing formula is other than a whole number, the Company
shall pay to the holder of this Warrant an amount in cash equal to the fair
market value of the resulting fractional share.

     (b)  The Conversion Right may be exercised by the holder of this Warrant
by the surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company
together with a written statement specifying that the holder thereby intends
to exercise the Conversion Right and indicating the number of Securities
subject to this Warrant which are being surrendered (referred to in paragraph
(a) above as the Converted Securities) in exercise of the Conversion Right.
Such conversion shall be effective upon receipt by the Company of this
Warrant together with the aforesaid written statement, or on such later date
as is specified therein (the "Conversion Date"), but not later than the
expiration date of this Warrant. Certificates for the shares of Common Stock
and Unit Warrants issuable upon exercise of the Conversion Right, together
with a check in payment of any fractional share and, in the case of a partial
exercise, a new Warrant evidencing the Securities remaining subject to this
Warrant, shall be issued as of the Conversion Date, and shall be delivered to
the holder of this Warrant within seven days following the Conversion Date.


Page 7 - Purchase Warrant
<PAGE>

     (c)  For purposes of this Section 10, the "fair market value" of a share
of Common Stock or Unit Warrant as of a particular date shall be the mean
between the bid and asked price of the Common Stock or Unit Warrant, as the
case may be, as quoted in the over the counter market, or, if applicable, the
closing sale price of the Common Stock or Unit Warrant, as the case may be,
on the Nasdaq Stock Market or a national exchange.

Multnomah County, Oregon, to the exclusion of all other courts that might have

Company to Miller, or his personal representative, or his heirs, as the case
may be, in respect of all rights which shall accrue prior or subsequent to
termination.

     6.  DISABILITY.  In the event that Miller becomes permanently disabled
during the term of this Agreement, then Miller shall continue in the employ
of the Company, but his compensation hereunder shall be limited to the amount
of his Base Salary then in effect, as set forth in Section 3(a) hereof, which
compensation shall be reduced by any amounts which Miller receives from
worker's compensation, social security, state disability programs or the
disability insurance provided by the Company to Miller. In such event,
Miller's employment hereunder shall continue after his permanent disability
and until the first to occur of (i) the expiration of the term specified in
Section 1, or (ii) the death of Miller; and during such period of time Miller
shall not be entitled to payment of expenses or benefits specified in Section

<PAGE>

performance of his duties. Frequent long illnesses, though different from the
preceding illness and though separated by relatively short periods of
performance, may be deemed to be "substantially continuous." Disability shall
be determined in good faith by a vote of not less than 75% of the Board of
Directors of the Company, excluding Miller if he is a director, whose
decision shall be final and binding upon Miller. Miller hereby consents to
medical examinations by such physicians and medical consultants as the
Company shall from time to time require.

     7.  TERMINATION BY COMPANY FOR CAUSE.  The Company shall have the right
to terminate Miller's employment as President, Chief Executive Officer of the
Company for "Cause," in which event no compensation shall be paid or other
benefits furnished to Miller after termination for Cause. Whether Cause
exists shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Company

Miller if he is a director. Termination for Cause shall be effective
immediately upon notice being sent to Miller.

             (a)  DEFINITION OF CAUSE.  As used in this Agreement, the term
"Cause" shall mean (1) any material act of dishonesty by Miller against the
Company; or (2) willful misconduct or gross negligence by Miller in carrying
out his duties as President, Chief Executive Officer of the Company; or (3)

such as intoxication on the job, use of illegal drugs, insubordination or
other misconduct which has a substantial adverse effect on the business of
the Company, or (5) other circumstances indicative of Miller's failure
materially to comply with the terms of his employment and which have had or
may have a substantial adverse effect on the business of the Company.

     8.  TERMINATION BY COMPANY OTHER THAN FOR CAUSE.  The Company shall have
the right to terminate Miller's employment as of or prior to the expiration of
the term of his employment provided in this Agreement, without cause. In the
event Miller's employment is terminated effective prior to expiration of the
term of his employment, then the Company shall pay Miller in one lump sum, an
amount equal to the full amount of his Base Salary from the date of
termination through the remainder of the term of this Agreement.

     9.  RESIGNATION BY MILLER FOR CAUSE--CHANGE IN CONTROL OR DIMINUTION IN
DUTIES.  In the event that there is a change in Control of the Company or in
the event that the Board of Directors materially reduces the scope and/or
authority of Miller's duties as President, Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, then Miller, within 30 days of such Change in Control, may terminate
his employment as of a date not more than 60 days from the date of such
Change in Control, by giving the Company 30 days advance written notice. In
such event, Miller shall be entitled to payment of his entire unpaid Base
Salary for the remaining term of this Agreement, which Base Salary shall be
paid to him in one lump.

             (a)  As used in this Agreement, the term "Change of Control"

and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act")) is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under
the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, or securities of the Company
representing 50% or more of the total voting power represented by the
Company's then outstanding voting securities; or

          (ii)    Any merger or consolidation of the Company with any other
corporation, other than a merger or consolidation that would result in the
voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto

the Company's then outstanding voting securities (either by remaining
outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the Company or
such other surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or
consolidation); or

          (iii)   A majority of the directors of the Company which were not
nominated by the Company's management (or were nominated by management

until December 31, 1999; or (b) if notice of termination of this Agreement is
given on September 30, 1997 and Miller is asked to leave the Company at such
date, then the term of Miller's employment shall be extended from December
31, 1999 to December 31, 2000 and he shall be paid through December 31, 2000.

     11.  OFFICES IN SAN DIEGO. The Company agrees that if it moves its
principal office out of San Diego County, then Miller will have the right to

lump sum, an amount equal to the full amount of his Base Salary through the
remainder of the term of this Agreement.

     through February 28, 2002. In addition, each year during the term of
     this Agreement, Devermann shall be reviewed for purposes of determining
     the appropriateness of increasing his salary hereunder, provided that in
     any event, Devermann shall receive a cost-of-living increase equal to
     the percentage by which the Consumer Price Index applicable to the San
     Diego, California area increased during the prior fiscal year. Such Base
     Salary shall be payable in semi-monthly installments in accordance with
     the regular employee payment practice of the Company. All payments shall
     be subject to the deduction of payroll taxes and similar assessments as
     required by law.

          (b)  BONUS. In addition to his Base Salary, Devermann shall be
     eligible to participate in any Company Bonus Plan, adopted from time to
     time by the Board of Directors.

     4.   EXPENSES AND BENEFITS. Devermann is authorized to incur reasonable
expenses in connection with the business of the Company, including expenses
for entertainment, travel and similar matters. The Company will reimburse
Devermann for


<PAGE>

such expenses upon presentation by Devermann of such accounts and records as
the Company shall from time to time reasonably require. The Company also
agrees to provide Devermann with the following benefits:

          (a) INSURANCE. Major medical health insurance and disability
     insurance which shall provide not less than two-thirds of Devermann's
     then current Base Salary in disability payments commencing three months
     after permanent or partial disability occurs and life group or term life
     insurance in an amount equal to two times Devermann's Base Salary.

          (b) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. Participation in any other employee
     benefit plans now existing or hereafter adopted by the Company for its
     employees.

          (c) VACATIONS. Devermann shall be entitled to a paid vacation for a
     period in each calendar year of not less than three weeks, to be taken
     at such times as mutually agreed with the Company.

     5. TERMINATION. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement
shall terminate upon the first to occur of the expiration of the term
provided for in Section 1 or the death of Devermann. However, nothing
contained in this Section 5 shall be construed to abrogate the obligations of
the Company to Devermann, or his personal representative, or his heirs, as
the case may be, in respect of all rights which shall accrue prior or
subsequent to termination.

     6. DISABILITY. In the event that Devermann becomes permanently disabled
during the term of this Agreement, then Devermann shall continue in the
employ of the Company, but his compensation hereunder shall be limited to the
amount of his Base Salary then in effect, as set forth in Section 3(a)
hereof, which compensation shall be reduced by any amounts which Devermann
receives from worker's compensation, social security, state disability
programs or the disability insurance provided by the Company to Devermann. In
such event, Devermann's employment hereunder shall continue after his
permanent disability and until the first to occur of (a) the expiration of
the term specified in Section 1, or (b) the death of Devermann; and during
such period of time Devermann shall not be entitled to payment of expenses or
benefits specified in Section 4 hereof, except that the Company shall
continue to provide Devermann with the insurance benefits specified in
Section 4(b) hereof.

          (a) DEFINITION OF DISABILITY. As used in this Paragragh 6,
     "permanent disability" shall mean three (3) months of substantially
     continuous disability. Disability shall be deemed "substantially
     continuous" if, as a practical matter, Devermann by reason of his mental
     or physical health, is unable to sustain reasonably long periods of
     substantial performance of his duties. Frequent long illnesses, though
     different from the preceding illness and though separated by relatively
     short periods of performance, may be deemed to be "substantially
     continuous." Disability shall be determined in good faith by a vote of
     not less than 75% of the Board of Directors of the Company, excluding
     Devermann if he is a director, whose decision shall be final and binding
     upon Devermann.

<PAGE>

      Devermann hereby consents to medical examinations by such physicians
      and medical consultants as the Company shall from time to time require.

      7.  TERMINATION BY COMPANY FOR CAUSE.  The Company shall have the right
to terminate Devermann's employment as VP, Sales and Business Development of
the Company for "Cause," in which event no compensation shall be paid or
other benefits furnished to Devermann after termination for Cause.
Termination for Cause shall be effective immediately upon notice being sent
to Devermann.

           (i)  DEFINITION OF CAUSE.  For purposes of this Agreement, the
     term "Cause" shall mean (1) any material act of dishonest by Devermann
     against the Company; or (2) willful misconduct or gross negligence by
     Devermann in carrying out his duties as VP, Sales and Business Development
     of the Company; or (3) material breach of this Agreement by Devermann; or
     (4) misconduct by Devermann, such as intoxication or other misconduct
     which has a substantial adverse effect on the business of the Company, or
     (5) other circumstances indicative of Devermann's failure materially to
     comply with the terms of his employment and which have had or may have a
     substantial adverse effect on the business of the Company.

      8.  TERMINATION BY COMPANY OTHER THAN FOR CAUSE.  The Company shall
have the right to terminate Devermann's employment prior to its normal
expiration under this Agreement, without cause, in which event the Company
shall pay Devermann in one lump sum, an amount equal to the full amount of
his Base Salary for a period of one year from the date of his termination of
employment.

      9.  RESIGNATION BY DEVERMANN FOR CAUSE - CHANGE IN CONTROL OR
DIMINUTION IN DUTIES.  In the event that there is a change in Control of the
Company or in the event that the Board of Directors materially reduces the
scope and/or authority of Devermann's duties as Vice President of Sales and
Business Development, then Devermann may terminate his employment by giving
the Company 30 days advance written notice. In such event, Devermann shall be
entitled to payment of his entire unpaid Base Salary for a period of one year
from the date of his termination of employment.

           (a)  As used in this Agreement, the term "Change of Control" shall
mean the occurrence of any of the following events during the term hereof:

                (i)  Any "person" (such as tat term is used in Section 13(d)
and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act)) is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under
the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, or securities of the Company
representing 50% or more of the total voting power represented by the
Company's then outstanding voting securities; or

                (ii)  Any merger or consolidation of the Company with any
other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation that would result in
the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto
continuing to represent 50% or more of the total voting power represented by
the Company's then outstanding

<PAGE>

voting securities (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into
voting securities of the Company or such other surviving entity outstanding
immediately after such merger or consolidation); or

                (iii) a majority of the directors of the Company which were
not nominated by the Company's management (or were nominated by management
pursuant to an agreement with persons that acquired sufficient voting
securities of the Company to de facto control it) are elected to the Board of
Directors by the Company's shareholders; or

                (iv) the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of
complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or
disposition by the company of all or substantially all of the Company's
assets.

     10.  INDEMNIFICATION. The Company shall enter into an Officers and
Directors Indemnification Agreement with Devermann that shall provide the
Executive with the maximum amount of protection allowed under the laws of
California to the extent that they are not inconsistent with the Company's
Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws with respect to such subject matter.

     11.  NO PROSELYTIZING OF EMPLOYEES. During the term of Devermann's
employment and for a period of 24 months following termination of his
employment (for whatever reason), Devermann shall not, on his own behalf or
on behalf of any other person or entity, directly or indirectly, solicit or
encourage any person then an employee of the Company to leave the employ of
the Company for the purpose of forming of joining another business.

     12.  NO SOLICITATION OF CUSTOMERS. During the term of Devermann's
employment and for a period of 24 months following termination of his
employment (for whatever reason), Devermann shall not, on his own behalf or
on behalf of any other person or entity, directly or indirectly, solicit,
entice away or divert any person or entity then a client of customer of the
Company to become a client or customer of any other person or entity.

     13.  GENERAL PROVISIONS.

          (a) NOTICES. Any notices to be given hereunder by either party to
the other shall be in writing and may be effected either by personal delivery

                            INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

         THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is entered into as of
__________________ by and between ImageWare Software, Inc., a California
corporation ("Company") and _______________________, an individual
("Indemnitee"), with reference to the following facts:

         A. The Company and Indemnitee are aware of the substantial growth in
the number of lawsuits filed against corporate directors and officers, and the
substantial costs of defending against such lawsuits.

         B. The Company is aware that Indemnitee would not be willing to
continue to serve as an officer of the Company and/or any of the Company's
subsidiaries and/or on the Board of Directors of the Company and/or any of the
Company's subsidiaries if Indemnitee were required to provide his or her own
defense to any lawsuit filed against Indemnitee in his or her capacity as an
officer or director of the Company, or with respect to any other service
provided by Indemnitee for the benefit of the Company.

         C. The Company has concluded that it is in the best interests of the
Company and its shareholders to contract with its directors and officers,
including Indemnitee, so as to provide them with indemnity to the fullest extent
permitted by law against personal liability for actions taken in the performance
of their duties to the Company.

         D. The Board of Directors of the Company has determined, after due
consideration of this Agreement, that this Agreement is reasonable, prudent and
in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. This Agreement is
intended to: (i) induce and encourage highly experienced and capable persons,
such as Indemnitee, to serve as directors and officers of the Company; (ii)
encourage such persons to resist what they consider to be unjustifiable suits
and claims made against them in connection with the performance of their duties
to the Company, secure in knowledge that certain expenses, costs, and
liabilities incurred by them in their defense of such litigation will be borne
by the Company and that they will receive the maximum protection against such
risks and liabilities as legally may be made available to them; and (iii)
encourage directors to exercise their best business judgment regarding matters
which come before the Board of Directors without undue concern for the risk that
claims may be made against them on account thereof.

         E. The Company desires to have Indemnitee serve as an officer and/or
director of the Company free from concern about unpredictable, inappropriate or
unreasonable legal risks and personal liabilities by reason of his or her
actions or inactions in the performance of his or her duties to the Company and
its shareholders.

         NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:


<PAGE>


                                       I.

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

                  1.01 THIRD PARTY PROCEEDINGS. The Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee if Indemnitee is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than any action by or in
the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a
director and/or officer of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, by
reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the
Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against all expenses,
liability and loss (including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the
Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) actually and
reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee
reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
Indemnitee's conduct was unlawful.

                  The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment,
order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of NOLO CONTENDERE or its
equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not
act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in
the best interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee's conduct was
unlawful. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification shall be made in any
criminal proceeding where Indemnitee has been adjudged guilty unless a
disinterested majority of the directors determine that Indemnitee did not
receive, participate in or share in any pecuniary benefit to the detriment of
the Company and, in view of all of the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses or liabilities.

                  1.02 PROCEEDINGS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY. The
Company shall indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or
suit by or in the right of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company to
procure a judgment in its favor by reason of fact that Indemnitee is or was a
director and/or officer of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, by
reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while a director
and/or officer or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the
request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against all
expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees) and amounts paid in
settlement (if such settlement is court-approved) actually and reasonably
incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action or suit if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee
reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders. No indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which Indemnitee shall

                                        2


<PAGE>


have been adjudged to be liable to the Company in the performance of
Indemnitee's duties to the Company and its shareholders, unless and only to the
extent that the Court in which such proceeding is or was pending shall determine
upon application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee
is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses and then only to the
extent that the court shall determine.

                  1.03 MANDATORY PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. To the extent that
Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 1.01 or 1.02 or the defense of
any claim, issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
Indemnitee in connection therewith.


                                       II.

                       EXPENSES: INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURE

                  2.01 ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES. The Company shall advance all
expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the investigation,
defense, settlement or appeal of any civil or criminal action, suit or
proceeding referenced in Section 1.01 or 1.02 hereof. Indemnitee hereby
undertakes to repay such amounts advanced only if, and to the extent that, it
shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified
by the Company as authorized hereby. The advance to be made hereunder shall be
paid by the Company to Indemnitee within thirty (30) days following delivery of
a written request therefor by Indemnitee to the Company. Indemnitee shall, in
accordance with the Company's policies, present invoices to the Company for
expenses actually incurred by Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in a
proceeding brought by the Company directly, in its own right (as distinguished
from an action brought derivatively or by any receiver or trustee), the Company
shall not be required to make the advances called for hereby if a majority of
the disinterested directors determine that it does not appear that Indemnitee
has met the standards of conduct which made it permissible under applicable law
to indemnify Indemnitee and the advancement of expenses would not be in the best
interests of the Company and its shareholders.

                  2.02 DETERMINATION OF CONDUCT. Any indemnification (unless
ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the
specific case upon a determination that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper
under the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in Section 1.01 or 1.02 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (i) the obligations of the Company shall be subject to the condition
that the Board of Directors shall not have determined that Indemnitee would not
be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law, (ii) the obligations of the
Company shall be subject to the condition that the Board of Directors shall have
determined that Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee
reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company, and, in the case
of a criminal proceeding, that Indemnitee had no reason to believe the conduct
of Indemnitee was unlawful. Such

                                        3


<PAGE>


determination shall be made by any of the following: (1) the Board of Directors
(or by an executive committee thereof) by a majority vote of a quorum consisting
of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, (2) if
such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if a quorum of
disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion, (3) by the shareholders, with the shares owned by Indemnitee not being
entitled to vote thereon, or (4) by the court in which such proceeding is or was
pending upon application made by the Company or Indemnitee or the attorney or
other person rendering service in connection with the defense, whether or not
such application by Indemnitee, the attorney or the other person is opposed by
the Company. Unless the Indemnitee shall commence litigation to challenge any
such determination, such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the
Company and Indemnitee.

                  2.03 NOTICE/COOPERATION BY INDEMNITEE. Indemnitee shall, as a
condition precedent to his or her right to be indemnified under this Agreement,
give the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any claim made
against Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this
Agreement. Such notice shall include a description of the nature of the matter
and the facts underlying the matter and be accompanied by copies of any
documents filed with the court in which the matter is pending. Notice to the
Company shall be directed to the address specified in Section 9.03 hereof, or
such other address as the Company shall designate in writing to Indemnitee.
Notice shall be deemed received on the third business day after the date
postmarked if sent by domestic certified or registered mail, properly addressed;
otherwise, notice shall be deemed received when such notices shall actually be
received by the Company. In addition, Indemnitee shall give the Company such
information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within
Indemnitee's power.

                  2.04 NOTICE TO INSURERS. If at the time of the receipt of a
notice of a claim pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof, the Company has director and
officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of
the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the
procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter
take all necessary or desirable actions to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf
of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in
accordance with the terms of such policies.

                  2.05 SELECTION OF COUNSEL. In the event the Company shall be
obligated under Section 2.01 hereof to pay the expenses of any proceeding
against Indemnitee, the Company, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such
proceeding, with counsel reasonably approved by Indemnitee, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice
of its election so to do. After delivery of such notice, approval of such
counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the
Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of
counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same proceeding,
provided that (a) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his or her counsel
in any such proceeding at Indemnitee's expense; and (b) if (i) the employment of
counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (ii)
Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of
interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense,
or (iii) the Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel

                                        4


<PAGE>


to assume the defense of such proceeding, then the reasonable fees and expenses
of Indemnitee's counsel shall be at the expense of the Company.

                                      III.

               ADDITIONAL INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS: NON-EXCLUSIVITY

                  3.01 APPLICATION. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
deemed applicable to all actual or alleged actions or omissions by Indemnitee
during any and all periods of time that Indemnitee was, is, or shall be serving
as a director and/or officer of the Company.

                  3.02 SCOPE. The Company hereby agrees to indemnify Indemnitee
to the fullest extent permitted by law (except as set forth in Article VIII
hereof), notwithstanding that such indemnification is not specifically
authorized by the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company's Articles of
Incorporation, the Company's Bylaws or by statute. In the event of any changes,
after the date of this Agreement, in any applicable law, statute, or rule which
expands the right of a California corporation to indemnify a member of its board
of directors or an officer, such changes shall be, IPSO FACTO, within the
purview of Indemnitee's rights and the Company's obligations under this
Agreement. In the event of any change in any applicable law, statute, or rule
which narrows the right of a California corporation to indemnify a member of its
board of directors or an officer, such changes, to the extent not otherwise
required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement shall have
no effect on this Agreement or the parties' rights and obligations hereunder.

                  3.03 NON-EXCLUSIVITY. The indemnification provided by this
Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which an Indemnitee may
be entitled under the Company's Articles of Incorporation, its Bylaws, any
agreement, any vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, the California
General Corporation Law, or otherwise, both as to action in Indemnitee's
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office. The indemnification provided under this Agreement shall continue as to
Indemnitee for an action taken or not taken while serving in an indemnified
capacity even though he or she may have ceased to serve in such capacity at the
time of any action, suit or other covered proceeding.

                                       IV.

                             PARTIAL INDEMNIFICATION

                  4.01 If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this
Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the
expenses, judgment, fines or penalties actually or reasonably incurred by him in
the investigation, defense, appeal or settlement of any civil or criminal
action, suit or proceeding, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the
Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such
expenses, judgments, fines or penalties to which Indemnitee is entitled.

                                        5

                                       V.

                              MUTUAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT

                  5.01 Both the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge that in
certain instances, federal law or public policy may override applicable state
law and prohibit the Company from indemnifying its directors and officers under
this Agreement or otherwise. For example, the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge
that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has taken the position
that indemnification is not permissible for liabilities arising under certain
federal securities laws, and federal legislation prohibits indemnification for
certain ERISA violations. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the
Company has undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake with the
SEC to submit the question of indemnification to a court in certain
circumstances for a determination of the Company's right under public policy to
indemnify Indemnitee.

                                       VI.

                  DIRECTORS' AND OFFICER'S LIABILITY INSURANCE

                  6.01 The Company shall, from time to time, make the good faith
determination whether or not it is practicable for the Company to obtain and
maintain a policy or policies of insurance with reputable insurance companies
providing the directors and officers with coverage for losses from wrongful
acts, or to ensure the Company's performance of its indemnification obligations
under this Agreement. Among other considerations, the Company will weigh the
costs of obtaining such insurance coverage against the protection afforded by
such coverage. In all policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance,
Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide
Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably
insured of the Company's director, if Indemnitee is a director, or of the
Company's officers, if Indemnitee is not a director of the Company but is an
officer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to
obtain or maintain such insurance if the Company determines in good faith that
such insurance is not reasonably available, if the premium costs for such
insurance are disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, if the
coverage provided by such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an
insufficient benefit, or if Indemnitee is covered by similar insurance
maintained by a parent or subsidiary of the Company.

                           (c)      DISHONESTY.  To indemnify Indemnitee if a
judgment or other final adjudication adverse to Indemnitee established that
Indemnitee committed acts of active and deliberate dishonesty, with actual
dishonest purpose and intent, which acts were material to the cause of action so
adjudicated.

                           (d)      INSURED CLAIMS.  To indemnify Indemnitee for
expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to,

for any expenses incurred by Indemnitee with respect to any proceeding

                                       IX.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the participants and
beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have
acted in a manner "reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the
Company and its shareholders" as referred to in this Agreement.

                               IMAGEWARE SOFTWARE, INC.

                           1994 EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN

                             (AMENDED SEPTEMBER 3, 1997)

     1.   PURPOSE

          The purpose of this 1994 Employee Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") is to
encourage and enable officers and other key employees of IMAGEWARE SOFTWARE,
INC. ("Company") and its subsidiaries (if any are organized or acquired) to
acquire a proprietary interest, or increase their proprietary interest, in the
Company through the ownership of Common Stock of the Company.  It is also
expected that the Plan will encourage qualified persons to seek or accept
employment with the Company and its subsidiaries.  Pursuant to the Plan,
optionees will be offered the opportunity to acquire such Common Stock through
the grant of Incentive Stock Options.

     2.   ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

          The Plan shall be administered by a Stock Option Committee of the
Board of Directors of the Company ("Committee") consisting of three members
appointed by the Board.

          In administering the Plan, the Committee may adopt rules and
regulations for carrying out the Plan.  The interpretation and decisions made by
the Committee with regard to any questions arising under the Plan shall be final
and conclusive on all officers and employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries.

          The Options granted under this Plan are intended to be "Incentive
Stock Options" within the meaning of Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  The Committee shall have the power and
authority to designate participants, which shall not include Committee members
during the time they are serving on the Committee, and to determine the terms
and provisions of respective Option agreements (which need not be identical),
including the authority to grant to the holder of an outstanding Option, in
exchange for the surrender and cancellation of such Option, a new Option having
a purchase price lower than provided in the Option so surrendered and canceled
and containing such other terms and conditions as the Committee may prescribe in
accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

          The term "subsidiary" means any corporation 50% or more of the voting
stock of which is owned by the Company or by a subsidiary (as so defined) of the
Company.

     3.   STOCK RESERVED FOR THE PLAN

          Subject to the adjustments provided for in paragraph 9 hereof, a total
of 900,000 shares of Common Stock ("Common Stock") of the Company shall be
subject to the Plan.  The shares subject to the Plan shall consist of unissued
shares or previously issued shares reacquired and held by the Company, and such
amount of shares shall be and is hereby reserved for sale for such


<PAGE>


purpose.  Any of such shares which may remain unsold and which are not
subject to outstanding Options at the termination of the Plan shall cease to
be reserved for the purpose of the Plan, but until termination of the Plan
the Company shall at all times reserve a sufficient number of shares to meet
the requirements of the Plan.  Any shares subject to any Option which for any
reason expires or is terminated unexercised as to such shares may again be
subject to an Option under the Plan.

     4.   DESIGNATIONS OF PARTICIPANTS

          The persons eligible for participating in the Plan as recipients of
Options shall be officers and key employees ("Employees") of the Company or any
of its subsidiaries.  The aggregate fair market value (determined as of the time
an Option is granted) of the Common Stock for which any Employee may be granted
Incentive Stock Options shall not exceed $100,000 for any calendar year in which
the Option is exercisable for the first time by such individual (under all such
plans of the Company or any subsidiary).

     5.   OPTION PRICE

     The purchase price of each share of Common Stock placed under Option
pursuant to the Plan shall be determined by the Committee, but shall in no event
be less than 100% of the fair market value of such share on the date the Option
is granted; provided however, that if an Option is granted to an Employee who
owns 10% or more of the Common Stock of the Company, then the purchase price of
each share of Common Stock placed under Option pursuant to the Plan shall in no
event be less than 110% of the fair market value of such share on the date the
Option is granted.

     6.   OPTION PERIOD

          (a)  TERM.  The Options granted under this Plan shall be for a term of
not more than ten years from the date of the granting of each Option; provided
however, that if an Option is granted to an Employee who owns 10% or more of the
Common Stock of the Company, then the term of his Option shall be for not more
than five years from the date of the granting of such Option.

          (b)  REORGANIZATION, ETC.  If the Company is reorganized, merged or
consolidated with another corporation while unexercised Options remain
outstanding under the Plan, there shall be substituted for the shares subject to
the unexercised portions of such outstanding Options an appropriate number of
shares of each class of stock or other securities of the reorganized, merged or
consolidated corporation distributed to the holders of the Company's Common
Stock in respect of their shares, such number of shares to be determined in
accordance with applicable provisions of the Code or regulations issued
thereunder which may from time to time govern the treatment of Incentive Stock
Options in such a transaction; provided, however, that all such Options may be
canceled by the Company as of the effective date of any such reorganization,
consolidation or merger or of any dissolution or liquidation of the Company by
giving notice of its intention to do so to each holder thereof or his personal
representative and by permitting the purchase during a


                                       2
<PAGE>

period of not less than thirty days next preceding such effective date of all
of the shares subject to such outstanding Options.

     7.   EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

          The Committee, in granting Options, shall have the discretion to
determine the terms upon which such Options shall be exercisable, subject to the
applicable provisions of this Plan.  In any event, Options shall be subject to
the following provisions:

          (a)  EXERCISE IN INSTALLMENTS.  Except as provided in this Section 7,
an Employee must remain in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries
at all times in order to exercise such Option.  Unless the Committee determines
otherwise, Options shall be exercisable in installments as follows: 30% after 12
months from date of grant; 30% after 24 months from date of grant; and 40% after
36 months from date of grant.  To the extent not exercised, installments shall
accumulate and be exercisable, in whole or in part, in any subsequent period.

          (b)  TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.  The effect of termination of an
Employee's employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall be as
follows:

               (1)  TERMINATION.  If the employment of an Employee is terminated
for any reason, except for "cause" then any outstanding Option held by such
Employee may be exercised at any time prior to the expiration date of the
Option, or within three months after the date of such termination, whichever is
the shorter period.

               (2)  RETIREMENT.  If an Employee's employment terminates as the
result of retirement of the Employee under any retirement plan of the Company or
a subsidiary, he may exercise any outstanding Option at any time prior to the
expiration date of the Option or within three months after the effective date of
his retirement, whichever is the shorter period.

               (3)  DEATH.  If an Employee shall die while he is an Employee, or
within three months after his retirement, or within three months after the
involuntary termination of his employment, his Option or Options may be
exercised by the person or persons entitled to do so under the Employee's will
or, if the Employee shall have failed to make testamentary disposition of such
Option or shall have died intestate, by the Employee's legal representative or
representatives, in either case at any time prior to the expiration date of the
Option or within six months of the date of Employee's death, whichever is the
shorter period.

               (4)  TERMINATION FOR CAUSE.  If the employment of an Employee
shall terminate for "cause", then his rights under any then outstanding Option
shall terminate at the time of such termination of employment.  Termination for
"cause" shall include, but not be limited to, termination due to the occurrence
of any of the following events:


                                       3
<PAGE>


               (i)  Employee's persistent or excessive use of drugs or alcohol
          to an extent that such use interferes with the proper performance of
          his duties to the Company hereunder; or

               (ii) Employee's misappropriation of funds or property of the
          Company (as determined by the Company's Board of Directors); or

               (iii)     Employee's gross negligence, willful misconduct,
          insubordination or habitual neglect of duty in carrying out his
          employment (as determined by the Company's Board of Directors).

          (c)  NONTRANSFERABILITY.  Each Option granted under the Plan shall by
its terms be nontransferable by the Employee except by will or the laws of
descent and distribution, and each Option shall be exercisable during the
Employee's lifetime only by him.

          (d)  PAYMENT.  The purchase price of the shares as to which an Option
is exercised shall be paid in full at the time of exercise.  Such purchase price
shall be payable in cash, or, at the discretion of the Company, in shares of
Common Stock theretofore owned by the holder of such Option (or in a combination
of cash and such Common Stock).  For purposes of determining the amount, if any,
of the purchase price satisfied by payment in Common Stock, such Stock shall be
valued at its fair market value on the date of exercise.  Any Common Stock
delivered in satisfaction of all or a portion of the purchase price shall be
appropriately endorsed for transfer and assignment to the Company.  No holder of
an Option shall be, or have any of the rights or privileges of, a shareholder of
the Company in respect of any shares purchasable upon the exercise of any part
of an Option unless and until certificates representing such shares shall have
been issued by the Company to such holder.

           (e)  OUTSTANDING INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS.  An Incentive Stock Option
will be exercisable at any time, subject to the terms of the Option, without
regard to other outstanding Incentive Stock Options, whether such Options were
granted before or after the Option to be exercised.

          (f)  GENERAL RESTRICTIONS.  Each Option granted under the Plan shall
be subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Board of Directors shall
determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration, or qualification
of the shares issuable or transferable upon exercise thereof upon any securities
exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any
governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in
connection with, the granting of such Option or the issuance or transfer of
shares thereunder, such Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless
such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been
effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board of
Directors.

          (g)  SPECIAL RESTRICTION.  No Option granted under the Plan may be
exercised until the Plan has been approved and ratified by the holders of a
majority of the voting stock of the


                                       4
<PAGE>


Company at a shareholders' meeting.  In the event that the Plan is not
approved by the shareholders of the Company within one year of the date of
its adoption by the Company's Board of Directors, the right to exercise any
Option shall terminate.

     8.   CAPITAL CHANGE OF THE COMPANY

          If the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall at any
time be changed or exchanged by declaration of a stock dividend, split-up,
combination of shares or recapitalization, the number and kind of shares subject
to this Plan or subject to any Options theretofore granted, and the Option
prices, shall be appropriately and equitably adjusted so as to maintain the
proportionate number of shares without changing the aggregate Option price,
provided, however, no adjustment shall be made by reason of the distribution of
subscription rights on outstanding stock.

     9.   OPTION AGREEMENT

          Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written
stock Option agreement executed by the Company and accepted by the Employee,
which (a) shall contain each of the provisions and agreements herein
specifically required to be contained therein, including, without limitation, in
the case of Options granted prior to the approval of the Plan by the
shareholders of the Company, a provision specifically indicating that such
Option may not be exercised unless and until such approval is obtained, and (b)
shall contain such other terms and conditions as the Committee may deem
desirable and which are not inconsistent with the Plan, including a
representation that the shares of Common Stock will be purchased for investment
and not with a view to their distribution, or other representations necessary to
comply with federal or state securities laws.

     10.  AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

          The Board of Directors shall have the right to amend, suspend or
terminate the Plan at any time; provided, however, that no such action shall
affect or in any way impair the rights of an Employee under any Option
theretofore granted under the Plan.  In addition, unless duly approved by the

issued or transferred under the Plan (except for adjustments for
recapitalization, stock dividends and other changes in corporate structure);
(b) changing the minimum purchase price hereinbefore specified for the shares
subject to Options; (c) changing the maximum period during which Options may be
exercised; (d) increasing the maximum number of shares for which Options may be

                               IMAGEWARE SOFTWARE, INC.

                         1994 NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN


     1.   PURPOSE

          The purpose of this 1994 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan (the "Plan")
is to encourage and enable Directors and Consultants of IMAGEWARE SOFTWARE, INC.
(the "Company") and its subsidiaries (if any are organized or acquired) to
acquire a proprietary interest, or increase their proprietary interest, in the
Company through the ownership of Common Stock of the Company.  It is also
expected that the Plan will encourage qualified persons to accept offers of
Directorship with the Company.  Pursuant to the Plan, optionees will be offered
the opportunity to acquire such Common Stock through the grant of Nonqualified
Stock Options.

     2.   ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

          The Plan shall be administered by a Stock Option Committee of the
Board of Directors of the Company (the "Committee") consisting of three members
appointed by the Board.

          In administering the Plan, the Committee may adopt rules and
regulations for carrying out the Plan.  The interpretation and decisions made by
the Committee with regard to any questions arising under the Plan shall be final
and conclusive on all officers and employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries.

          The Committee shall have the power and authority to designate
participants, which shall not include Committee members during the time they are
serving on the Committee, and to determine the terms and provisions of
respective Option agreements (which need not be identical), including the
authority to grant to the holder of an outstanding Option, in exchange for the
surrender and cancellation of such Option, a new Option having a purchase price
lower than provided in the Option so surrendered and canceled and containing
such other terms and conditions as the Committee may prescribe in accordance
with the provisions of the Plan.

          The term "subsidiary" means any corporation 50% or more of the voting
stock of which is owned by the Company or by a subsidiary (as so defined) of the
Company.

     3.   STOCK RESERVED FOR THE PLAN

          Subject to the adjustments provided for in paragraph 9 hereof, a total
of 100,000 shares of Common Stock ("Common Stock") of the Company shall be
subject to the Plan.  The shares subject to the Plan shall consist of unissued
shares or previously issued shares reacquired and held by the Company, and such
amount of shares shall be and is hereby reserved for sale for such purpose.  Any
of such shares which may remain unsold and which are not subject to outstanding
Options at the termination of the Plan shall cease to be reserved for the
purpose of the Plan, but until termination of the Plan the Company shall at all
times reserve a sufficient  number of shares to meet


<PAGE>


the requirements of the Plan.  Any shares subject to any Option which for any
reason expires or is terminated unexercised as to such shares may again be
subject to an Option under the Plan.

     4.   DESIGNATIONS OF PARTICIPANTS

          The persons eligible for participating in the Plan as recipients of
Options shall be Directors of the Company or Consultants of the Company or any
of its subsidiaries.

     5.   OPTION PRICE

          The purchase price of each share of Common Stock placed under Option
pursuant to the Plan shall be determined by the Committee, but shall in no event
be less than 85% of the fair market value of such share on the date the Option
is granted.

     6.   OPTION PERIOD

          (a)  TERM.  The Options granted under this Plan shall be for a term of
not more than five years from the date of the granting of each Option.

          (b)  REORGANIZATION, ETC.  If the Company is merged reorganized, or
consolidated with another corporation while unexercised Options remain
outstanding under the Plan, there shall be substituted for the shares subject to
the unexercised portions of such outstanding Options an appropriate number of
shares of each class of stock or other securities of the merged, reorganized, or
consolidated corporation distributed to the holders of the Company's Common
Stock in respect of their shares; provided, however, that all such Options may
be canceled by the Company as of the effective date of any such merger,
reorganization or consolidation or of any dissolution or liquidation of the
Company by giving notice of its intention to do so to each holder thereof or his
personal representative and by permitting the purchase during a period of not
less than thirty days next preceding such effective date of all of the shares
subject to such outstanding Options.

     7.   EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

          The Committee, in granting Options, shall have the discretion to
determine the terms upon which such Options shall be exercisable, subject to the
applicable provisions of this Plan.  In any event, Options shall be subject to
the following provisions:

          (a)  EXERCISE IN INSTALLMENTS.  Except as provided in this Section 7,
a Director or Consultant must continue to act in that capacity at all times in
order to exercise such Option.  Unless the Committee determines otherwise,
Options shall be exercisable in installments as follows: 30% after 12 months
from date of grant; 30% after 24 months from date of grant; and 40% after 36
months from date of grant.  To the extent not exercised, installments shall
accumulate and be exercisable, in whole or in part, in any subsequent period.


                                       2
<PAGE>

          (b)  TERMINATION AS DIRECTOR OR CONSULTANT WITHOUT CAUSE.  The effect
of termination of a person's relationship with the Company as a Director or
Consultant shall be that any outstanding Option then held by such Director or
Consultant may be exercised at any time prior to the expiration date of the
Option, or within three months after the date of such termination, whichever is
the shorter period.

          (c)  TERMINATION AS DIRECTOR OR CONSULTANT FOR CAUSE.  If a Director
or Consultant is terminated for "cause", then his rights under any then
outstanding Option shall terminate at the time of such termination of
employment.  Termination for "cause" shall include, but not be limited to,
termination due to the occurrence of any of the following events:

               (i)    The Director or Consultant's persistent or excessive use
          of drugs or alcohol to an extent that such use interferes with the
          proper performance of his duties to the Company hereunder; or

               (ii)   The Director or Consultant's misappropriation of funds or
          property of the Company (as determined by the Company's Board of
          Directors); or

               (iii)  The Director or Consultant's gross negligence, willful
          misconduct, insubordination or habitual neglect of duty in carrying
          out his duties as a director or consultant (as determined by the
          Company's Board of Directors).

          (d)  PAYMENT.  The purchase price of the shares as to which an Option
is exercised shall be paid in full at the time of exercise.  Such purchase price
shall be payable in cash, or, at the discretion of the Company, in shares of
Common Stock theretofore owned by the holder of such Option (or in a combination
of cash and such Common Stock).  For purposes of determining the amount, if any,
of the purchase price satisfied by payment in Common Stock, such Stock shall be
valued at its fair market value on the date of exercise.  Any Common Stock
delivered in satisfaction of all or a portion of the purchase price shall be
appropriately endorsed for transfer and assignment to the Company.  No holder of
an Option shall be, or have any of the rights or privileges of, a shareholder of
the Company in respect of any shares purchasable upon the exercise of any part
of an Option unless and until certificates representing such shares shall have
been issued by the Company to such holder.

          (e)  GENERAL RESTRICTIONS.  Each Option granted under the Plan shall
be subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Board of Directors shall
determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration, or qualification
of the shares issuable or transferable upon exercise thereof upon any securities
exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any
governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in
connection with, the granting of such Option or the issuance or transfer of
shares thereunder, such Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless
such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been
effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board of
Directors.


                                       3
<PAGE>

          (f)  SPECIAL RESTRICTION.  No Option granted under the Plan may be
exercised until the Plan has been approved and ratified by the holders of a
majority of the voting stock of the Company at a shareholders' meeting.  In the
event that the Plan is not approved by the shareholders of the Company within
one year of the date of its adoption by the Company's Board of Directors, the
right to exercise any Option shall terminate.

     8.   CAPITAL CHANGE OF THE COMPANY

          If the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall at any
time be changed or exchanged by declaration of a stock dividend, split-up,
combination of shares or recapitalization, the number and kind of shares subject
to this Plan or subject to any Options theretofore granted, and the Option
prices, shall be appropriately and equitably adjusted so as to maintain the
proportionate number of shares without changing the aggregate Option price,
provided, however, no adjustment shall be made by reason of the distribution of
subscription rights on outstanding stock.

     9.   OPTION AGREEMENT

          Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written
stock Option agreement executed by the Company and accepted by the Director or
Consultant, which (a) shall contain each of the provisions and agreements herein
specifically required to be contained therein, including, without limitation, in
the case of Options granted prior to the approval of the Plan by the
shareholders of the Company, a provision specifically indicating that such
Option may not be exercised unless and until such approval is obtained, and (b)
shall contain such other terms and conditions as the Committee may deem
desirable and which are not inconsistent with the Plan, including a
representation that the shares of Common Stock will be purchased for investment
and not with a view to their distribution, or other representations necessary to
comply with federal or state securities laws.

     10.  AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

          The Board of Directors shall have the right to amend, suspend or
terminate the Plan at any time; provided, however, that no such action shall
affect or in any way impair the rights of a Director or Consultant under any
Option theretofore granted under the Plan.  In addition, unless duly approved by
the holders of Common Stock entitled to vote thereon at a meeting (which may be
the annual meeting) duly called and held for such purpose, no amendment or
change shall be made in the Plan (a) increasing the total number of shares which
may be issued or transferred under the Plan (except for adjustments for
recapitalization, stock dividends and other changes in corporate structure); (b)
changing the minimum purchase price hereinbefore specified for the shares
subject to Options; (c) changing the maximum period during which Options may be
exercised; or (d) extending the period during which Options may be granted under
the Plan.

                             IMAGEWARE SYSTEMS, INC.
                    AMENDED AND RESTATED 1999 STOCK OPTION PLAN


         1. PURPOSE. This Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") is intended to serve as
an incentive to, and to encourage stock ownership by, certain eligible
participants rendering services to ImageWare Systems, Inc., a California
corporation (the "Corporation"), and certain affiliates as set forth below, so
that they may acquire or increase their proprietary interest in the Corporation
and to encourage them to remain in the service of the Corporation.

         2.       ADMINISTRATION.

                  2.1 COMMITTEE. The Plan shall be administered by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation (the "Board of Directors") or a committee of two or
more members appointed by the Board of Directors (the "Committee") who are
Non-Employee Directors as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under Section 16 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and an outside director as defined in
Treasury Regulation Section 1.162-27(e)(3). The Committee shall select one of
its members as Chairman and shall appoint a Secretary, who need not be a member
of the Committee. The Committee shall hold meetings at such times and places as
it may determine and minutes of such meetings shall be recorded. Acts by a
majority of the Committee in a meeting at which a quorum is present and acts
approved in writing by a majority of the members of the Committee shall be valid
acts of the Committee.

                  2.2 TERM. If the Board of Directors selects a Committee, the
members of the Committee shall serve on the Committee for the period of time
determined by the Board of Directors and shall be subject to removal by the
Board of Directors at any time. The Board of Directors may terminate the
function of the Committee at any time and resume all powers and authority
previously delegated to the Committee.

                  2.3 AUTHORITY. The Committee shall have sole discretion and
authority to grant options under the Plan to eligible participants rendering
services to the Corporation or any "parent" or "subsidiary" of the Corporation
("Parent or Subsidiary"), as defined in Section 424 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), at such times, under such terms and in such
amounts as it may decide. For purposes of this Plan and any Stock Option
Agreement (as defined below), the term "Corporation" shall include any Parent or
Subsidiary, if applicable. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the
Committee shall have complete authority to interpret the Plan, to prescribe,
amend and rescind the rules and regulations relating to the Plan, to determine
the details and provisions of any Stock Option Agreement, to accelerate any
options granted under the Plan and to make all other determinations necessary or
advisable for the administration of the Plan.

                  2.4 TYPE OF OPTION. The Committee shall have full authority
and discretion to determine, and shall specify, whether the eligible individual
will be granted options intended to qualify as incentive options under Section
422 of the Code ("Incentive Options") or options

<PAGE>

which are not intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code ("Non-Qualified
Options"); provided, however, that Incentive Options shall only be granted to
employees of the Corporation, or a Parent or Subsidiary thereof, and shall be
subject to the special limitations set forth herein attributable to Incentive
Options.

                  2.5 INTERPRETATION. The interpretation and construction by the
Committee of any provisions of the Plan or of any option granted under the Plan
shall be final and binding on all parties having an interest in this Plan or any
option granted hereunder. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any
action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any
option granted under the Plan.

         3.       ELIGIBILITY.

                  3.1 GENERAL. All directors, officers, employees of and certain
persons rendering services to the Corporation, or any Parent or Subsidiary,
relative to the Corporation's, or any Parent's or Subsidiaries', management,
operation or development shall be eligible to receive options under the Plan.
The selection of recipients of options shall be within the sole and absolute
discretion of the Committee. No person shall be granted an option under this
Plan unless such person has executed the grant representation letter set forth
on Exhibit "A", as such Exhibit may be amended by the Committee from time to
time and no person shall be granted an Incentive Option under this Plan unless
such person is an employee of the Corporation, or a Parent or Subsidiary, on the
date of grant. No employee shall be granted more than 75,000 options in any one
year period.

                  3.2        TERMINATION OF ELIGIBILITY.

                             3.2.1 If an optionee ceases to be employed by the
Corporation, or its Parent or Subsidiary, is no longer an officer or member of
the Board of Directors of the Corporation or no longer performs services for the
Corporation, or its Parent or Subsidiary for any reason (other than for "cause,"
as hereinafter defined, or such optionee's death), any option granted hereunder
to such optionee shall expire three months after the date the occurrence giving
rise to such termination of eligibility (or 1 year in the event an optionee is
"disabled," as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) or upon the date it
expires by its terms, whichever is earlier. Any option that has not vested in
the optionee as of the date of such termination shall immediately expire and
shall be null and void. The Committee shall, in its sole and absolute
discretion, decide, utilizing the provisions set forth in Treasury Regulations
Section 1.4271-7(h), whether an authorized leave of absence or absence for
military or governmental service, or absence for any other reason, shall
constitute termination of eligibility for purposes of this Section.

                             3.2.2 If an optionee ceases to be employed by the
Corporation, or its Parent or Subsidiary, is no longer an officer or member of
the Board of Directors of the Corporation, or no longer performs services for
the Corporation, or its Parent or Subsidiary and such termination is as a result
of "cause," as hereinafter defined, then all options granted hereunder to such
optionee shall expire on the date of the occurrence giving rise to such

<PAGE>

termination of eligibility or upon the date it expires by its terms, whichever
is earlier, and such optionee shall have no rights with respect to any
unexercised options. For purposes of this Plan, "cause" shall mean an optionee's
personal dishonesty, misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty, incompetence,
intentional failure to perform stated obligations, willful violation of any law,
rule, regulation or final cease and desist order, or any material breach of any
provision of this Plan, any Stock Option Agreement or any employment agreement.

                  3.3 DEATH OF OPTIONEE AND TRANSFER OF OPTION. In the event an
optionee shall die, an option may be exercised (subject to the condition that no
option shall be exercisable after its expiration and only to the extent that the
optionee's right to exercise such option had accrued at the time of the
optionee's death) at any time within six months after the optionee's death by
the executors or administrators of the optionee or by any person or persons who
shall have acquired the option directly from the optionee by bequest or
inheritance. Any option that has not vested in the optionee as of the date of
death or termination of employment, whichever is earlier, shall immediately
expire and shall be null and void. No option shall be transferable by the
optionee other than by will or the laws of intestate succession.

                  3.4 LIMITATION ON INCENTIVE OPTIONS. No person shall be
granted any Incentive Option to the extent that the aggregate fair market value
of the Stock (as defined below) to which such options are exercisable for the
first time by the optionee during any calendar year (under all plans of the
Corporation as determined under Section 422(d) of the Code) exceeds $100,000.

         4. IDENTIFICATION OF STOCK. The Stock, as defined herein, subject to
the options shall be shares of the Corporation's authorized but unissued or
acquired or reacquired common stock (the "Stock"). The aggregate number of
shares subject to outstanding options shall not exceed 350,000 shares of Stock
(subject to adjustment as provided in Section 6). If any option granted
hereunder shall expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised
in full, the unpurchased shares subject thereto shall again be available for
purposes of this Plan. Notwithstanding the above, at no time shall the total
number of shares of Stock issuable upon exercise of all outstanding options and
the total number of shares of Stock provided for under any stock bonus or
similar plan of the Corporation exceed 30% as calculated in accordance with the
conditions and exclusions of ss.260.140.45 of Title 10, California Code of
Regulations, based on the shares of the issuer which are outstanding at the time
the calculation is made.

         5. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS. Any option granted pursuant to the
Plan shall be evidenced by an agreement ("Stock Option Agreement") in such form
as the Committee shall from time to time determine, which agreement shall comply
with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

                  5.1 NUMBER OF SHARES. Each option shall state the number of
shares of Stock to which it pertains.

                  5.2 OPTION EXERCISE PRICE. Each option shall state the option
exercise price, which shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however,
that (i) the exercise price of

<PAGE>

any Incentive Option shall not be less than the fair market value of the Stock,
as determined by the Committee, on the date of grant of such option, (ii) the
exercise price of any option granted to any person who owns more than 10% of the
total combined voting power of all classes of the Corporation's stock, as
determined for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, shall not be less than 110%
of the fair market value of the Stock, as determined by the Committee, on the
date of grant of such option, and (iii) the exercise price of any Non-Qualified
Option shall not be less than 85 % of the fair market value of the Stock, as
determined by the Committee, on the date of grant of such option.

                  5.3 TERM OF OPTION. The term of an option granted hereunder
shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant, but shall not exceed
ten years from the date of the grant. The term of any Incentive Option granted
to an employee who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all
classes of the Corporation's stock, as determined for purposes of Section 422 of
the Code, shall in no event exceed five years from the date of grant. All
options shall be subject to early termination as set forth in this Plan. In no
event shall any option be exercisable after the expiration of its term.

                  5.4 METHOD OF EXERCISE. An option shall be exercised by
written notice to the Corporation by the optionee (or successor in the event of
death) and execution by the optionee of an exercise representation letter in the
form set forth on Exhibit "B," as such Exhibit may be amended by the Committee
from time to time. Such written notice shall state the number of shares with
respect to which the option is being exercised and designate a time, during
normal business hours of the Corporation, for the delivery thereof ("Exercise
Date"), which time shall be at least 30 days after the giving of such notice
unless an earlier date shall have been mutually agreed upon. At the time
specified in the written notice, the Corporation shall deliver to the optionee
at the principal office of the Corporation, or such other appropriate place as
may be determined by the Committee, a certificate or certificates for such
shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may postpone delivery of
any certificate or certificates after notice of exercise for such reasonable
period as may be required to comply with any applicable listing requirements of
any securities exchange. In the event an option shall be exercisable by any
person other than the optionee, the required notice under this Section shall be
accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person to exercise the
option.

                  5.5 MEDIUM AND TIME OF PAYMENT. The option exercise price
shall be payable in full on or before the option Exercise Date in any one of the
following alternative forms:

                             5.5.1 Full payment in cash or certified bank or
cashier's check;

                             5.5.2 A Promissory Note (as defined below);

                             5.5.3 Full payment in shares of Stock or other
securities of the Corporation having a fair market value on the Exercise Date in
the amount equal to the option exercise price;

                             5.5.4 Through a special sale and remittance
procedure pursuant to


<PAGE>


which the optionee shall concurrently provide irrevocable written instruction to
(a) a Corporation designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of the
purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds
available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate
exercise price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable Federal,
state and local income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the
Corporation by reason of such exercise and (b) the Corporation to deliver the
certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm in order
to complete the sale.

                             5.5.5 A combination of the consideration set forth
in Sections 5.5.1, 5.5.2 and 5.5.3 equal to the option exercise price; or

                             5.5.6 Any other method of payment complying with
the provisions of Section 422 of the Code with respect to Incentive Options,
provided that the terms of payment are established by the Committee at the time
of grant and any other method of payment established by the Committee with
respect to Non-Qualified Options.

                  5.6 FAIR MARKET VALUE. The fair market value of a share of
Stock or other security of the Corporation on any relevant date shall be
determined in accordance with the following provisions:

                             5.6.1 If the Stock or other security of the
Corporation at the time is neither listed nor admitted to trading on any stock
exchange nor traded in the over-the-counter market, then the fair market value
shall be determined by the Committee after taking into account such factors as
the Committee shall deem appropriate.

                             5.6.2 If the Stock or other security of the
Corporation is not at the time listed or admitted to trading on any stock
exchange but is traded in the over-the-counter market, the fair market value
shall be the mean between the highest bid and lowest asked prices (or, if such
information is available, the closing selling price) of one share of Stock or
other security of the Corporation on the date in question in the
over-the-counter market, as such prices are reported by the National Association
of Securities Dealers through its NASDAQ system or any successor system. If
there are no reported bid and asked prices (or closing selling price) for the
Stock or other security of the Corporation on the date in question, then the
mean between the highest bid price and lowest asked price (or the closing
selling price) on the last preceding date for which such quotations exist shall
be determinative of fair market value.

                             5.6.3 If the Stock or other security of the
Corporation is at the time listed or admitted to trading on any stock exchange,
then the fair market value shall be the closing selling price of one share of
Stock or other security of the Corporation on the date in question on the stock
exchange determined by the Committee to be the primary market for the Stock or
other security of the Corporation, as such price is officially quoted in the
composite tape of transactions on such exchange. If there is no reported sale of
Stock or other security of the Corporation on such exchange on the date in
question, then the fair market value shall be the closing selling price on the
exchange on the last preceding date for which such quotation exists.

                  5.7 PROMISSORY NOTE. Subject to the requirements of applicable
state or Federal law or margin requirements, payment of all or part of the
purchase price of the Stock may be made by delivery of a full recourse
promissory note ("Promissory Note"). The Promissory Note shall be executed by
the optionee, made payable to the Corporation and bear interest at such rate as
the Committee shall determine, but in no case less than the minimum rate which
will not cause under the Code (i) interest to be imputed, (ii) original issue
discount to exist, or (iii) any other similar results to occur. Unless otherwise
determined by the Committee, interest on the Note shall be payable in quarterly
installments on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. A
Promissory Note shall contain such other terms and conditions as may be
determined by the Committee; provided, however, that the full principal amount
of the Promissory Note and all unpaid interest accrued thereon shall be due not
later than five years from the date of exercise. The Corporation may obtain from
the optionee a security interest in all shares of Stock issued to the optionee
under the Plan for the purpose of securing payment under the Promissory Note and
shall retain possession of the stock certificates representing such shares in
order to perfect its security interest.

                  5.8 RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. An optionee or successor shall
have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any Stock underlying any option
until the date of the issuance to such optionee of a certificate for such Stock.
No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in
cash, securities or other property) or distributions or other rights for which
the record date is prior to the date such Stock certificate is issued, except as
provided in Section 6.

                  5.9 MODIFICATION, EXTENSION AND RENEWAL OF OPTIONS. Subject to
the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or renew
outstanding options granted under the Plan, or accept the surrender of
outstanding options (to the extent not exercised) and authorize the granting of
new options in substitution therefor.

                  5.10 VESTING AND RESTRICTIONS. The Committee shall have
complete authority and discretion to set the terms, conditions, restrictions,
vesting schedules and other provisions of any option in the applicable Stock
Option Agreement and shall have complete authority to require conditions and
restrictions on any Stock issued pursuant to this Plan; provided, however, that,
except with respect to options granted to officers or directors of the
Corporation, options granted pursuant to this Plan shall be exercisable or
"vest" at the rate of at least 20% per year over the 5-year period beginning on
the date the option is granted. Options granted to officers and directors shall
become exercisable or "vest," subject to reasonable conditions, at any time
during any period established by the Corporation.

                  5.11 OTHER PROVISIONS. The Stock Option Agreements shall
contain such other provisions, including without limitation, restrictions or
conditions upon the exercise of options, as the Committee shall deem advisable.

         6.       ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION.

                  6.1 SUBDIVISION OR CONSOLIDATION. Subject to any required
action by


<PAGE>


shareholders of the Corporation, the number of shares of Stock covered by each
outstanding option, and the exercise price thereof, shall be proportionately
adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Stock of
the Corporation resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares,
including, but not limited to, a stock split, reverse stock split,
recapitalization, continuation or reclassification or the payment of a stock
dividend (but only on the Stock) or any other increase or decrease in the number
of such shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Corporation. Any
fraction of a share subject to option that would otherwise result from an
adjustment pursuant to this Section shall be rounded downward to the next full
number of shares without other compensation or consideration to the holder of
such option.

                  6.2 CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS. Upon a sale or exchange of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, a merger or consolidation in
which the Corporation is not the surviving corporation, a merger, reorganization
or consolidation in which the Corporation is the surviving corporation and
shareholders of the Corporation exchange their stock for securities or property,
a liquidation of the Corporation or similar transaction as determined by the
Committee ("Capital Transaction"), this Plan and each option issued under this
Plan, whether vested or unvested, shall terminate, unless such options are
assumed by a successor corporation in a merger or consolidation, immediately
prior to such Capital Transaction; provided, however, that unless the
outstanding options are assumed by a successor corporation in a merger or
consolidation, subject to terms approved by the Committee or the options are
repurchased pursuant to Section 8, all optionees will have the right, during the
30 days prior to such Capital Transaction, to exercise all vested options.
 The Corporation shall, subject to any nondisclosure provisions, attempt to
provide optionees at least 15 days notice of the option termination date. The
Committee may (but shall not be obligated to) (i) accelerate the vesting of any
option or (ii) apply the foregoing provisions, including but not limited to
termination of this Plan and any options granted pursuant to the Plan, in the
event there is a sale of 50% or more of the stock of the Corporation in any one
year period or a transaction similar to a Capital Transaction.

                  6.3 ADJUSTMENTS. To the extent that the foregoing adjustments
relate to stock or securities of the Corporation, such adjustments shall be made
by the Committee, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding
and conclusive.

                  6.4 ABILITY TO ADJUST. The grant of an option pursuant to the
Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Corporation to make
adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or
business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate, sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

                  6.5 NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT. Whenever the Corporation shall take
any action resulting in any adjustment provided for in this Section, the
Corporation shall forthwith deliver notice of such action to each optionee,
which notice shall set forth the number of shares subject to the option and the
exercise price thereof resulting from such adjustment.

                  6.6 LIMITATION ON ADJUSTMENTS. Any adjustment, assumption or
substitution of an Incentive Option shall comply with Section 425 of the Code,
if applicable.


<PAGE>


         7. NONASSIGNABILITY. Options granted under this Plan may not be sold,
pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws
of intestate succession, and may be exercised during the lifetime of an optionee
only by such optionee. Any transfer in violation of this Section shall void such
option and any Stock Option Agreement entered into by the optionee and the
Corporation regarding such transferred option shall be void and have no further
force or effect. No option shall be pledged or hypothecated in any way, nor
shall any option be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

         8.       REPURCHASE OPTION.

                  8.1 The Corporation shall have the right to purchase all Stock
held by an optionee or any unexercised option held by an optionee which has been
obtained pursuant to the Plan, together with any rights, securities or
additional stock that has been received pursuant to a stock dividend, stock
split, reorganization or other similar transaction that has been received as a
result of an employee option or Stock acquired pursuant thereto in the event (i)
an optionee terminates his or her services with the Corporation, or any Parent
or Subsidiary thereof, or (ii) the Corporation so elects, in the event of a
Capital Transaction. The price paid for any unexercised option or Stock shall be
the fair market value of such option or Stock as determined herein. The fair
market value assigned to any option shall be the fair market value of the Stock
as to which it is exercisable reduced by the exercise price. The parties shall
first negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement as to the value of the
option or Stock. Absent an agreement within 30 days, the parties shall select
one appraiser to determine the value of the Stock. In the event the parties
cannot agree as to an appraiser, then each party shall appoint one appraiser and
the two appraisers shall jointly determine a third appraiser. In the event the
two appraisers cannot determine a third appraiser, such third appraiser shall be
appointed by a Judge of the Superior Court of the County of San Diego,
California. Such appraisers shall make their determination of the fair market
value of the Stock, and the average of the two appraisers whose valuations are
closest to each other shall control. Any appraiser selected by any party shall
be an appraiser experienced in the area of valuing similar stock. The
Corporation and the optionee, or successor, shall each pay for one-half of the
cost of any such appraisal. If the Corporation desires to purchase the Stock or
options held by an employee as set forth in this Section, then the Corporation
shall provide written notice to such optionee at such optionee's last known
address within 120 days after the termination of such optionee's employment, or
at least 30 days prior to a Capital Transaction.

                  8.2 The Committee may assign the Corporation's repurchase
option under this Section to any person selected by the Committee including one
or more of the shareholders of the Corporation.

                  8.3 The repurchase option set forth in this Section shall
terminate upon the consummation of an underwritten public offering of the
Corporation's Stock registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act").

         9.       RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.


<PAGE>


                  9.1 Stock issued pursuant to this Plan together with any
rights, securities or additional stock that have been received pursuant to a
stock dividend, stock split, reorganization or other transaction that has been
received as a result of an employee option or stock acquired pursuant thereto
shall be subject to a right of first refusal by the Corporation in the event the
holder of such shares proposes to sell, pledge or otherwise transfer said shares
or any interest in said shares to any person or entity. Any holder of shares of
Stock (or other securities) acquired under the Plan desiring to transfer such
Stock (or other securities) or any interest therein shall give written notice to
the Corporation describing the proposed transfer, including the price of shares
proposed to be transferred, the proposed transfer price and terms, and the name
and address of the proposed transferee. Unless otherwise agreed by the
Corporation and the holder of such shares, repurchases by the Corporation under
this Section shall be at the proposed price and terms specified in the notice to
the Corporation. The Corporation's rights under this Section shall be freely
assignable.

                  9.2 If the Corporation fails to exercise its right of first
refusal within 30 days from the date upon which the Corporation received the
shareholder's written notice, the shareholder may, within the next 90 days,
conclude a transfer of the exact number of shares covered by said notice on
terms not more favorable to the transferee than those described in the notice.
Any subsequent proposed transfer by such transferee shall again be subject to
the Corporation's right of first refusal. If the Corporation exercises its right
of first refusal, the shareholder shall endorse and deliver to the Corporation
the stock certificates representing the shares being repurchased, and the
Corporation shall promptly pay the shareholder the total repurchase price as set
forth in the terms of the agreement. The holders of shares being repurchased
pursuant to this Section shall cease to have any rights with respect to such
shares immediately upon repurchase.

                  9.3 No written notice of a proposed transfer shall be required
under this Section and no right of first refusal shall exist with respect to
transfers by will or the laws of intestate succession.

                  9.4 The right of first refusal set forth in this Section shall
terminate upon the consummation of an underwritten public offering of the
Corporation's Stock registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act").

                  9.5 Any attempted transfer of any Stock or securities subject
to this right of first refusal which is not made in compliance with this Section
shall be null and void.

                  9.6 The Committee may assign the Corporation's repurchase
option under this Section to any person selected by the Committee including one
or more or the shareholders of the Corporation.


         10. NO RIGHT OF EMPLOYMENT. Neither the grant nor exercise of any
option nor anything in this Plan shall impose upon the Corporation or any other
corporation any obligation to employ or continue to employ any optionee. The
right of the Corporation and any


<PAGE>


other corporation to terminate any employee shall not be diminished or affected
because an option has been granted to such employee.

         11. TERM OF PLAN. This Plan is effective on November ___, 1999 and
options may be granted pursuant to the Plan from time to time within a period of
ten (10) years from such date, or the date of any required shareholder approval
required under the Plan, if earlier. Termination of the Plan shall not affect
any option theretofore granted.

         12. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN. The Board of Directors of the Corporation
may, subject to any required shareholder approval, suspend, discontinue or
terminate the Plan, or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever with respect
to any shares of Stock at that time not subject to options.

         13. APPLICATION OF FUNDS. The proceeds received by the Corporation from
the sale of Stock pursuant to options may be used for general corporate
purposes.

         14. RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Corporation, during the term of this
Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available such number of shares of
Stock as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

         15. NO OBLIGATION TO EXERCISE OPTION. The granting of an option shall
not impose any obligation upon the optionee to exercise such option.

         16. APPROVAL OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS.  The Plan
shall not take effect until approved by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation. This Plan shall be approved by a vote of the shareholders within 12
months from the date of approval by the Board of Directors. In the event such
shareholder vote is not obtained, all options granted hereunder, whether vested
or unvested, shall be null and void. Further, any stock acquired pursuant to the
exercise of any options under this Agreement may not count for purposes of
determining whether shareholder approval has been obtained.

         17. WITHHOLDING TAXES. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in
this Plan or any Stock Option Agreement, the exercise of any option shall be
conditioned upon payment by such optionee in cash, or other provisions
satisfactory to the Committee, of all local, state, federal or other withholding
taxes applicable, in the Committee's judgment, to the exercise or to later
disposition of shares acquired upon exercise of an option (including any
repurchase of an option or the Stock).

         18. PARACHUTE PAYMENTS. Any outstanding option under the Plan may not
be accelerated to the extent any such acceleration of such option would, when
added to the present value of other payments in the nature of compensation which
becomes due and payable to the optionee would result in the payment to such
optionee of an excess parachute payment under Section 280G of the Code. The
existence of any such excess parachute payment shall be determined in the sole
and absolute discretion of the Committee.


<PAGE>


         19. SECURITIES LAWS COMPLIANCE. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein, the Corporation shall not be obligated to grant any option under this
Plan or to sell, issue or effect any transfer of any Stock unless such grant,
sale, issuance or transfer is at such time effectively (i) registered or exempt
from registration under Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") and (ii)
qualified or exempt from qualification under the California Corporate Securities
Law of 1968 and any other applicable state securities laws. As a condition to
exercise of any option, each optionee shall make such representations as may be
deemed appropriate by counsel to the Corporation for the Corporation to use any
available exemption from registration under the Act or any applicable state
securities law.

         20. RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS. The certificates representing the Stock issued
upon exercise of options granted pursuant to this Plan will bear legends
required by applicable securities laws as determined by the Committee.

         21. NOTICES. Any notice to be given under the terms of the Plan shall
be addressed to the Corporation in care of its Secretary at its principal
office, and any notice to be given to an optionee shall be addressed to such
optionee at the address maintained by the Corporation for such person or at such
other address as the optionee may specify in writing to the Corporation.

         22. INFORMATION TO PARTICIPANTS. The Corporation shall make available
to all holders of options the information required pursuant to Section
260.140.46 of the California Code of Regulations.

       As adopted by the Board of Directors effective December 17, 1999.

accordance with subparagraph (A) below) is greater than - $1,225,000 or less
than - $1,275,000, then the Cash Merger Value shall be $2,000,000 increased
or decreased by the difference between the Net Worth so computed and
$1,250,000. In the event that the Net Worth of Ximage at October 31, 1997 so

be made in the amount of the Cash Merger VAlue. For example, if the Net Worth
of XImage at October 31, 1997 is computed to be -$1,100,000, then the Cash
Merger Value shall be $2,150,000 ($2,000,000 plus $150,000). Similarly, if
the Net Worth of XImage at October 31, 1997 is computed to be -$1,230,000),

1997 shall be made on or before Wednesday November 12, 1997 by XImage (who
may use calculation) and upon completion shall immediately be provided to
ImageWare for review and approval. On or before Monday November 17, 1997,
ImageWare shall advise XImage in writing that if either approves or
disapproves such Net Worth calculation, provided that if ImageWare fails to
so advise XImage, then it shall be deemed to have disapproved such Net Worth
computation. On or before Wednesday November 19, 1997, ImageWare and XImage
shall meet to resolve their differences regarding such Net Worth calculation
and if they are unable to agree upon the amount of the Net Worth of XImage at
October 31, 1997, then the calculation of the Net Worth of XImage, together
with ImageWare's notice of the items in the computation with which it
disagrees, shall be submitted to a mutually acceptable independent public
accounting firm (the "CPA") who, at ImageWare's cost, shall determine the Net
Worth of XImage at October 31, 1997. The determination of the Net Worth of
XImage so made by the CPA shall be final and binding upon XImage and
ImageWare. The CPA shall be directed to make such Net Worth determination as
soon as feasible.

                (B)  In the event that ImageWare does no agree with the
computation of XImage's Net Worth at October 31, 1997 and ImageWare and
XImage are unable to agree upon the amount of such Net Worth, then, if the
disagreement involves an aggregate amount of not more than $100,000, (1) the
Merger shall close; (2) the amount in dispute will be deposited in
the Holdback Escrow; and (3) such amount will subsequently be distributed by
the Escrow Holder to ImageWare and/or XImage based upon the determination of
XImage's Net Worth at October 31, 1997, as determined by the CPA.

<PAGE>

The computation of the Net Worth of XImage at October 31, 1997 shall be made
consistent with the method of accounting used by XImage in preparing its
September 30, 1997 financial statements. Such Net Worth computation at
October 31, 1997 shall in all material respects conform to GAAP and shall
include as a liability, the fees, costs and expenses incurred by XImage in

plus their pro rata share of any Merger expenses payable by the XImage
Shareholders. Solely to determine the net Merger Consideration receivable
upon consummation of the Merger by an Optionee who conditionally exercises
his or her option and to determine such Optionee's obligations resulting from
the Merger, the number of shares of XImage Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of XImage Stock Options shall be considered to be shares of Ximage
Common Stock Outstanding at the Effective Time of the Merger and the holders
of XImage Stock Options shall be considered to be XImage Shareholders.

to the closing of the Merger, ImageWare shall prepare a Disclosure Statement
relating to the proposed issuance of the Merger Warrants to Shareholders and

which such holder has the right to received pursuant to Section 2.1(d)(i),

Certificates and Option Exercise Notices so surrendered shall forthwith be
canceled. In the event that an XImage Shareholder, including an Optionee of

such XImage Shareholder. Any interest earned on the funds so held in the
Closing Escrow shall be held for the benefit of the XImage Shareholders and
shall be distributed to them upon termination of the Closing Escrow.

          (G)  CANCELLATION OF THE XIMAGE COMMON STOCK.  At the Effective

a shareholder of XImage. From and after the Effective Time of the Merger, the
holders of the shares of XImage Common Stock Outstanding immediately prior to
the Effective Time of the Merger, as such holders, shall be entitled to
receive only the Merger Consideration.

                (I)  The holders of XImage Stock Options that are exercised
conditionally upon the Closing of the Merger shall not be required to
purchase the shares of XImage Common Stock underlying the XImage Stock
Options, but such shares shall be taken into consideration in determining
the amount of the Cash Merger Value payable to the holders of such XImage
Stock Options. Thus, the per share Cash Merger Value payable to a holder of
an XImage Stock Option shall be an amount equal to the excess of the per
share Cash Merger Value



                                        6
<PAGE>

over the exercise price of such XImage Stock Option, provided that if there
is no excess, then the holder of such XImage Stock Option shall pay to XImage
the amount by which the exercise price of the XImage Stock Option exceeds the
per share Cash Merger Value, and such amount shall increase the Cash Merger
Value.

               (ii) The Cash Merger Value ($2,000,000, subject to adjustment)
shall be increased by the exercise price of the XImage Stock Options that are
exercised conditionally upon the Closing of the Merger and then divided by
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, including the shares that
would ordinarily be issued upon the exercise of such XImage Stock Options.
This will yield the amount of cash per share payable to the XImage
Shareholders, except that the amount of cash per share payable to the holders
of XImage Stock Options will be reduced by the exercise price of their price
of their XImage Stock Options.

               (iii) The number of Merger Warrants issuable each of to the
Shareholders of XImage Common Stock and the holders of XImage Stock Options,
shall be determined by dividing the 325,000 Merger Warrants, reduced by
the number of Merger Warrants distributable to Business Development Advisors,
by the number of shares of XImage Common Stock Outstanding at the Effective
Time of the Merger and multiplying such amount by the number of shares of
XImage Common Stock Outstanding owned by each XImage Shareholder.

          (h) CANCELLATION OF OPTIONS. At the Effective Time of the Merger,
all unexercised XImage options shall be canceled.

     SECTION 2.2  CONVERSION OF IAI COMMON STOCK. At the Effective Time of the
Merger, each share of IAI Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time of the Merger shall by virtue of the Merger and without any
action on the part of the holder thereof be converted into one share of a
newly-created class of $.01 par value common stock of the Surviving
Corporation.

     SECTION 2.3  WITHHOLDING TAX. The right of any XImage Shareholder to
receive the Merger Consideration shall be subject to any required tax
withholding obligation.

consummate the Merger have been duly and validly taken.

In giving such opinions, such counsel shall be entitled to rely upon

matters upon which their opinions may be based, provided that the extent of
such reliance is set forth in such opinion and it is reasonable for ImageWare
to rely thereon.

                          SECTION 8--INDEMNIFICATION

     SECTION 8.1     NATURE OF STATEMENTS, ETC.; SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES.  Each statement, representation, warranty, covenant,
agreement or indemnity made by XImage or ImageWare or IAI in this Agreement or
in any document, certificate or other instrument delivered by or on its
behalf pursuant to this Agreement or in connection herewith shall be deemed
the statement, representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or indemnity of
XImage, ImageWare or IAI, respectively.  All statements, representations,
warranties, covenants, agreements or indemnities made by the parties hereto
shall survive the Closing and thereafter expire one year from the Closing
Date; and all claims for indemnification shall be made within 30 days after
such statements, representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or
indemnities expire.

     SECTION 8.2    INDEMNIFICATION OF IMAGEWARE BY XIMAGE SHAREHOLDERS.  The
XImage Shareholders, by virtue of receiving cash and Warrants to purchase
Common Stock of ImageWare, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and
hold ImageWare harmless from, against and in respect of (and shall on demand
reimburse ImageWare for) any and all loss, liability, damage or expense
suffered or incurred by ImageWare by reason of any untrue representation,
breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of any agreement requiring performance
after the Closing or of any covenant contained herein or in any certificate,
document or instrument delivered to ImageWare pursuant hereto or in
connection herewith.  In addition, since the amount of the cash component of
the Merger Consideration is based upon the Net Worth of XImage at October 31,
1997, the XImage Shareholders shall indemnify ImageWare for liability based
on the IBM Assistance Agreement which is referred to in the XImage Disclosure
Schedule but will not be shown as a liability in computing XImage's Net Worth
at October 31, 1997.  The liability of the XImage Shareholders under this
Section 8.2 shall be up to a maximum liability of $1,000,000 in the
aggregate, provided that in the event of fraud, the maximum liability shall
be the total Merger Consideration.

             (a)     AGREED CLAIM.  If ImageWare makes a claim against the
XImage Shareholders for indemnification pursuant to this Section 8, and the
XImage Shareholders agree


                                       23

<PAGE>


that ImageWare is entitled to indemnification, then ImageWare may obtain
indemnification through the Holdback Escrow created pursuant to Section
2.1(f)(i).

             (b)     DISPUTED CLAIM.  If ImageWare makes a claim against the
XImage Shareholders for indemnification pursuant to this Section 8 and the
XImage Shareholders do not agree that ImageWare is entitled to
indemnification, or with the amount of the claim for indemnification, then
ImageWare may provide the Escrow Holder of the Holdback Escrow created
pursuant to Section 2.1(e)(ii) with written notification of its claim for
indemnification in which event Escrow Holder shall place a hold on the
Escrowed Funds to the extent of the claim and such Escrowed Funds shall
continue to be held in this Escrow until such claim for indemnification is
resolved by the XImage Shareholders and ImageWare.

             (c)     ASSIGNMENT OF RECEIVABLES.  In the event that the XImage
Shareholders indemnify ImageWare for the failure of XImage to collect any of
its accounts receivable (which were represented to be collectible under
Section 4.7 hereof), then such uncollected receivables shall be assigned by
XImage and/or ImageWare to the XImage Shareholders, without recourse, and the
subsequent collection of such accounts receivable shall be for the account of
the XImage Shareholders.  Specifically, if any check or other form of payment
of such accounts receivable is made payable or delivered to XImage or
ImageWare, XImage or ImageWare shall immediately deliver such funds to the
Shareholder Representatives.

     SECTION 8.3     INDEMNIFICATION OF XIMAGE SHAREHOLDERS BY IMAGEWARE.
ImageWare hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the XImage Shareholders
harmless from, against and in respect of (and shall on demand reimburse the
XImage Shareholders for) any and all loss, liability, damage or expense
suffered or incurred by such XImage Shareholders by reason of any untrue
representation, breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of any agreement
requiring performance after the Closing or of any covenant contained herein
or in any certificate, document or instrument delivered to XImage pursuant
hereto or in connection herewith.

    SECTION 8.4     NOTICE RE INDEMNIFICATION.  Promptly after receipt by an
indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action against such
indemnified party with respect to a claim which the indemnified party
believes is covered by this Section 8, the indemnified party shall notify the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify
the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any
liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than as to the
particular item as to which indemnification is then being sought solely
pursuant to this Section 8.  In case any such action is brought against any
indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to
the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly notified, reasonably assume the defense thereof, subject to the
provisions herein stated, and 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 under this
Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, other than
reasonable costs of investigation, unless the indemnifying party shall not
pursue the action to its final conclusion.  The indemnified party shall have
the right to

                                       24
<PAGE>

employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense
thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the expense
of the indemnifying party if the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of
the action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.  The
indemnifying party shall have the right to settle any action against an
indemnified party for which the indemnifying party is liable.

     SECTION 8.5  LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION.  Any provision herein to the
contrary notwithstanding:

          (a)  An indemnifying party shall have no obligation to indemnify the
indemnified party unless and until the aggregate amount of the claims or
liabilities for which the indemnifying party is liable exceeds $20,000.

          (b)  In determining the amount of any indemnity, there shall be taken
into account any tax benefit, insurance proceeds or other similar recovery or
offset realized, directly or indirectly, by the party to be indemnified.

          (c)  ImageWare and XImage each acknowledges and agrees that is shall
have no right pursuant to this Section 8 with respect to any breach or failure
by an XImage Shareholder to fully perform his or her obligation under such
XImage Shareholder's Covenant Not To Compete or Employment Agreement, as
applicable, and that any cause of action arising as a result of such breach or
failure to perform shall be asserted only against such XImage Shareholder in a
separate action by ImageWare or XImage that is independent of this Article 8.

     SECTION 8.6  RECOVERY OF COSTS.  In the event any party seeks to enforce
its rights hereunder against any other party, then, in addition to all
damages and other remedies to which the prevailing party is or becomes
entitled by reason of such default, the losing party shall promptly pay to
the prevailing party an amount equal to all costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) paid or incurred by the prevailing party in
connection with such enforcement proceeding.

                              SECTION 9--DISPUTES


     SECTION 9.1  Mediation and Last Offer Arbitration.  XImage and ImageWare
have agreed on the following mechanisms in order to obtain prompt, expeditious
and equitable resolution of disputes between them which may arise subsequent to
the Closing if they are unable to resolve such issues amicably:

          (a)  GOOD FAITH NEGOTIATIONS.  In the event of any dispute (the
"Dispute") between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
the performance or breach of this Agreement by either of them, the parties
shall negotiate and try to resolve the Dispute in good faith.


                                      25
<PAGE>

          (b)  MEDIATION.  In the event that either party determines in its sole
discretion that any Dispute will not be resolved promptly pursuant to Section
9.1(a) above, such party may invoke the mediation process set forth in this
Section 9.1(b) by sending to the other party a written demand for mediation (the
"Demand for Mediation").  Within fifteen days after receipt of the Demand for
Mediation, the parties shall agree on a neutral person to serve as mediator
("Mediator").  In the event that the parties cannot agree on the Mediator
within said fifteen day period, then the San Diego office of JAMS/Endispute
shall, within five days after receiving a request by either party, appoint a
neutral person as the Mediator.  The first Mediation session shall be held in
San Diego, California, and shall be requested to be convened no later than
thirty days after the appointment of the Mediator.

          (c)  LAST OFFER ARBITRATION.  In the event that the Mediator, in his
or her sole judgment, determines that the parties are unable to resolve the
Dispute through the Mediation process, but in any event no later than twenty
one days after the first mediation session, then the parties agree to submit
the Dispute for resolution by the Mediator who shall request a last offer (the
"Last Offer") for resolution of the Dispute from each party.  Within five days
of receipt of such request, each party shall submit a Last Offer to the Mediator
who, after receiving the Last Offers from both parties, will communicate the
Last Offer made by each party to the other party.  If the Dispute is not
resolved through the exchange of the Last Offers, then the Mediator shall, with
ten days of receiving the Last Offers, render his or her award (the "Award") in
writing by selecting one of the last offers.  The Mediator shall have no
alternative other than to select one of the Last Offers.  The Award shall
include a decision on the costs and expenses in accordance with Section 9.1(d)
below.

          (d)  COSTS.  The cost of the mediation shall initially be borne
equally by the XImage Shareholders and ImageWare, but the prevailing party in
such proceeding shall be entitled to recover, in addition to reasonable
attorneys' fees and all other costs, its contribution for the reasonable costs
of the Mediator as an item of damage or recoverable costs or both.  If the
XImage Shareholders or ImageWare refuses to pay its share of the costs at the
time(s) required, the other may do so, in which event that party will be
entitled to recover (or offset) the amount advanced, with interest, even if
that party is not the prevailing party.  The Mediator shall include such costs
in any award.

          (e)  CONFIDENTIALITY.  The Mediation and Arbitration proceedings
conducted pursuant to this Section 9 and any information disclosed therein
shall be kept confidential by the parties and not disclosed to third persons,
except for disclosure to accountants in connection with preparing financial
statements or tax returns for the parties, or as required by law.

     SECTION 9.2  ENTRY OF JUDGMENT.  Any decision by a Mediator shall be
binding on the XImage Shareholders and ImageWare, and judgment thereon may be
entered in the Superior Court for the County of San Diego or any other court
having jurisdiction thereof.

     SECTION 9.3  COOPERATION.  The XImage Shareholders and ImageWare shall
diligently cooperate with one another to resolve a dispute, and shall perform
such acts as may be necessary to obtain a prompt and expeditious resolution of
the dispute.  If the XImage Shareholders or


                                      26
<PAGE>

ImageWare refuse to cooperate diligently, and another party, after first
giving notice of its intent to rely on the provisions of this Section 9,
incurs additional expenses or attorneys' fees wholly or partly as a result of
such failure to cooperate diligently, then the Mediator may award such
additional expenses and attorneys' fees to the party giving such notice, even
if the party is not the prevailing party in the dispute.

                      SECTION 10--ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS


     SECTION 10.1  PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS.  ImageWare, IAI and XImage agree that
they will not issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement or
respond to any press inquiry with respect to this Merger Agreement or the Merger
without the prior approval of the other party (which approval will not be
unreasonably withheld).

     SECTION 10.2  FUNDING XIMAGE; PAYMENT OF CERTAIN DEBTS.  Following the
Merger, ImageWare shall provide XImage with funds necessary to pay the debts and
obligations of XImage, in existence at the Effective Time of the Merger, as
they come due and specifically to cause XImage to pay in full, within 30 days
following the Closing, all employee obligations, including accrued vacation
expense, and promissory notes to the XImage Shareholders and former employees
reflected in the computation of XImage's Net Worth at October 31, 1997.

     SECTION 10.3  ADDITIONAL MERGER AGREEMENTS.  In case at any time after the
Effective Time of the Merger any further action is reasonably necessary or
desirable to vest the Surviving Corporation with full title to all properties,
assets, rights, approvals and franchises of either of the constituent
corporations, the proper officers and directors of each corporation which is a
party to this Merger Agreement shall take all such necessary corporate action.

     SECTION 10.4  PAYMENT FOR ACCRUED VACATION.  Any employee of XImage that
has accrued vacation which is included as a liability in computing the Net Worth
of XImage at October 31, 1997, shall have the right, within thirty days
following the Closing, to elect to be paid for such vacation in cash, and in
the event of such election, ImageWare shall cause XImage to pay such accrued
vacation in the pay period in which such election is made.

     SECTION 10.5  XIMAGE TAX RETURNS.  The XImage Shareholders shall file or
cause to be filed the state and federal income tax returns of XImage for the
short taxable period ending on the Effective Date.  The cost of preparing and
filing such returns shall be paid 50% by the XImage Shareholders (through an
offset of the Indemnification Fund) and 50% by ImageWare.  All tax returns of
XImage for all taxable periods ending after the effective date shall be
prepared and filed by XImage, at its expense and not at the expense of the
XImage Shareholders.  After the Closing, each party hereto shall provide to
each of the other parties hereto such cooperation and information as any of
them reasonably request in filing any tax return or claim for refund,
determining a liability for taxes or a right to refund of taxes or in
conducting any audit or other proceeding in respect of taxes and will preserve
such information, records and documents until the expiration of any applicable
statute of limitations or extensions thereof.

<PAGE>

     SECTION 10.6  USE OF NAME.  Without limiting the right of ImageWare to
conduct its business in such manner as it deems appropriate, ImageWare intends,
following the Closing Date, and for the foreseeable future thereafter, to
maintain XImage as a separate subsidiary operating under its existing name.

     SECTION 10.7  SHAREHOLDER REPRESENTATIVES.  Kenneth D. Fields and Don
Dehaan shall each be a "Shareholder Representative" of the XImage Shareholders
during the period commencing on the Closing of the Merger and continuing until
termination of the Escrow (the "Escrow Period").  The Shareholder
Representatives, acting jointly, are authorized to take any action deemed by
them to be appropriate or necessary to carry out the provisions of, and to
determine the rights of the Shareholders under this Merger Agreement.  The
Shareholder Representatives shall serve as the agent of the XImage Shareholders
for all purposes related to this Merger Agreement and the Escrow Agreement,
including without limitation, service of process upon the Shareholders.  The
authorization and designation of the Shareholder Representatives under this
Merger Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each
XImage Shareholder.  ImageWare and the Escrow Holder shall be entitled to rely
upon such authorization and designation of the Shareholder Representatives and
the action they take on behalf of the XImage Shareholders, and shall have no
duty to inquire into authority of any person reasonably believed by either of
them to be a Shareholder Representative.

          (a)  REPLACEMENT OF A SHAREHOLDER REPRESENTATIVE.  In the event
that a Shareholder Representative shall resign or otherwise terminate his or
her status as such, his or her successor shall be any of the other XImage
Shareholders appointed by the remaining Shareholder Representative, or where
such Shareholder Representative fails to appoint a successor after a vacancy
has been created, elected by the vote or written consent of a majority in
interest of the XImage Shareholders.  All decisions of the Shareholder
Representatives shall be binding upon all XImage Shareholders.  The
Shareholder Representatives shall keep the XImage Shareholders reasonably
informed of their action or decisions of a material nature.  The Shareholder
Representatives shall not be entitled to any compensation for their services
as such.

          (b)  LIABILITY OF SHAREHOLDER REPRESENTATIVES.  The Shareholder
Representatives shall (i) not be liable to any of the XImage Shareholder for any
error of judgment, act done or omitted in good faith, or mistake of fact or law
unless caused by his or her own gross negligence or willful misconduct; (ii) be
entitled to treat as genuine any letter or other document furnished to him or
her by ImageWare or the XImage Shareholders, and believed by him or her to be
genuine and to have been signed and presented by the proper party or parties;
and (iii) be reimbursed from any proceeds otherwise immediately deliverable to
the XImage Shareholders from the Escrow Funds for counsel fees and other
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Shareholder Representatives in connection
with this Merger Agreement.  The Escrow Agent and ImageWare shall be entitled to
rely upon instructions of the Shareholder Representatives with regard to such
reimbursement for counsel fees and other out-of-pocket expenses.

XImage;

          (b)  FAILURE TO CLOSE ON TIME, RECEIVE SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL OR

fault of the terminating party, the Merger shall not have been consummated
before November 26, 1997; (ii) Shareholder Approval of the Merger Agreement
and the Merger shall not be obtained by reason of XImage Shareholders holding
a majority of XImage's Common Stock failing to vote in favor of approval of
this Merger Agreement at a meeting of the XImage Shareholders; or (iii) a
governmental entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued an order,
decree or ruling or taken any other action permanently restraining,
enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger and such order, decree, ruling
or other action shall have become final and nonappealable.

          (c) BREACH BY XIMAGE.  By ImageWare if there has been a breach by
XImage of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement in this
Merger Agreement which has a material adverse effect on the Business of

Schedule or cured, or XImage has not commenced reasonable efforts to cure
such breach within ten days after written notice of such breach is given by
ImageWare to XImage;

          (d) BREACH BY IMAGEWARE OR IAI. By XImage if there has been a breach
by ImageWare or IAI of any material representation, warranty, covenant or
other agreement, which has a material adverse effect on the Business of

          (e) FAILURE TO FULFILL CONDITIONS. By XImage if any of the

condition shall not have been waived.

          (f) FAILURE TO FULFILL CONDITIONS. By ImageWare if any of the
conditions set forth in Section 7.2 hereof shall not have been fulfilled on

impossible to fulfill for reasons beyond the control of ImageWare, and such

Board of Directors of the party taking such


                                      29

<PAGE>

action, and in the case of XImage, without any requirement to submit such
action to its Shareholders.

      SECTION 11.2  EFFECT OF TERMINATION AND ABANDONMENT. In the event of
termination of the Merger Agreement by either XImage or ImageWare as
permitted in Section 11, then this Merger Agreement shall forthwith become
void and have no effect, and there shall be no liability or obligation on the
part of XImage, ImageWare or IAI, or their respective officers and directors,
except that (a) the provisions of Section 6.1(b) and this Section 11.2 shall
survive any such termination, and (b) no party whose breach of its
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Merger
Agreement was the basis of the other party's termination of this Merger
Agreement (under Section 11.1(c) or (d)) shall be relieved from liability for

other party in connection with this Merger Agreement and the Merger.

      SECTION 11.3  AMENDMENT.  This Merger Agreement may be amended by the
parties hereto by action taken by their respective Boards of Directors at

hereto, or (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties
contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, or (c) waive
compliance with any of the agreements, covenants or conditions for the
benefit of such party contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party
hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an
instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The failure of any
party to this Merger Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Merger
Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of these rights.

      SECTION 12.1  ASSIGNMENT.  This Merger Agreement shall be binding upon,

                                                            November 24, 1999

                                 PROMISSORY NOTE

                  For valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned ("Borrower") promises and agrees
to pay to the order and assigns of Chester L.F. Paulson ("Lender") at 811 SW
Naito Parkway, Suite 200, Portland, Oregon 97204 (or at such other address as
Lender may specify in writing from time to time) the sum of Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00). Interest on this Note will accrue from the date
of this Note until it is paid in full at the rate of interest applicable to the
promissory note attached to this Note as Exhibit A as set forth in the section
thereof entitled "Variable Interest Rate."

                  Borrower will repay this Note as follows:

                  1.       Beginning on December 15, 1999 and continuing on the
fifteenth day of each month thereafter, Borrower will pay to Lender or Lender's
designee all accrued and unpaid interest on this Note; and

                  2.       Borrower will pay to Lender or Lender's designee the
entire unpaid principal balance of this Note together with all accrued and
unpaid interest and all other sums due and owing under this Note or under the
Loan and Indemnification Agreement dated the same date as this Note (the "Loan
Agreement") on the earlier of the following:

                           (a)      any written or oral demand by Lender;

                           (b)      the closing of Borrower's initial public
offering underwritten by Paulson Investment Company, Inc. from the proceeds of
such initial public offering; or

                           (c)      April 3, 2000.

                  Capitalized terms used in this Note and not otherwise defined
will have the meanings assigned to those terms in the Loan Agreement.

                  Borrower also promises and agrees to pay on demand the costs
and disbursements, including reasonable attorney fees, including at trial and in
any post-judgment proceeding, incurred by Lender in collecting this Note and
enforcing the Loan Agreement whether or not in a civil action, arbitration
proceeding, or insolvency proceeding and whether or not the claim is commenced,
tried, or appealed.

                  Borrower hereby waives acceptance, presentment, demand,
diligence, protest, nonpayment, dishonor and notice of any of the foregoing and
consents to impairment of subrogation rights. Borrower acknowledges that
forbearance by Lender, including any failure to make demand, or other failure by
Lender to exercise any right or remedy upon demand or default will not
constitute a waiver or grounds for a claim of estoppel.

                                    LOAN AND
                            INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT


     This Loan and Indemnification Agreement dated as of November 24, 1999 is
entered into between Chester L.F. Paulson ("Lender ") and ImageWare Software,
Inc. ("Borrower").


     WHEREAS, Borrower is currently undertaking an initial public offering
underwritten by Lender's employer, Paulson Investment Company, Inc. ("Paulson");

     WHEREAS, Borrower is in need of working capital until it receives the
proceeds of its initial public offering;

     WHEREAS, U.S. Bank National Association ("U.S. Bank") has agreed to lend to
Lender $500,000 at a variable interest rate (the "Loan") pursuant to the terms a
promissory note dated November 15, 1999;

     WHEREAS, Lender has agreed to advance the proceeds of the Loan to Borrower
pursuant to the terms of the Promissory Note (the "Promissory Note") dated of
even date herewith; and

     WHEREAS, Paulson has agreed to indemnify Lender in the event of a default
under the U.S. Bank Promissory Note and as such be ultimately responsible for
any payments due to U.S. Bank thereunder.


     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce
Lender to make the loan to Borrower, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     SECTION 1.     LOAN.  Borrower promises to pay to the order of Lender or
Lender's designee Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) loaned by Lender
to Borrower hereunder.  Borrower shall also pay interest on the Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) at rates in accordance with the terms hereof.

     SECTION 2.     INTEREST RATES.  Interest on this loan will accrue from the
date of this Loan Agreement and the Note until it is paid in full at the rate of
interest applicable to the promissory note attached thereto as set forth in the
section thereof entitled "Variable Interest Rate."

     SECTION 3.     PAYMENTS. (a) Borrower shall pay monthly payments of accrued
interest on this loan from Lender beginning on December 15, 1999 and continuing
on the fifteenth day of each month thereafter directly to U.S. Bank at the
address and for the account of Lender specified on the signature page hereto,
and shall send a copy of such documents as may evidence the payments to Lender
at the address specified in Section 9 below.

<PAGE>

     (b) All payments hereunder by Borrower to Lender, Lender's designee,
Paulson or U.S. Bank, as the case may be, shall be made free and clear of
set-off or counterclaim, in lawful currency of the United States and in
immediately available funds. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be due on a
day that is not a business day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended
to the next succeeding business day.

     SECTION 4.     MATURITY DATE. (a) Borrower shall repay the entire principal
balance of the Loan together with all accrued and unpaid interest and any other
sums due under this Loan Agreement upon the earlier of (x) a written or oral
demand by Lender, (y) the closing of Borrower's initial public offering
underwritten by Paulson from the proceeds of such initial public offering, or
(z) April 3, 2000.

     (b) If a demand for payment is made at any time to Lender by U.S. Bank,
Lender shall notify Borrower orally or in writing and Borrower shall repay the
Loan and all fees as required pursuant to the terms of the promissory note with
U.S. Bank.  If Lender repays the Loan or any portion thereof pursuant to such
demand for payment, then Borrower agrees to immediately repay Lender or Paulson,
as the case may be, an amount equal to the amount so paid or, if unable to do so
at the time of such demand for payment, pay Lender upon the earlier of (y) the
closing of Borrower's initial public offering underwritten by Paulson from the
proceeds of such initial public offering or (z) April 3, 2000.  Failing such
payments, Borrower shall be considered in default of this Loan Agreement and
shall issue such warrants and make such payments as required by Section 6 below.

     SECTION 5.     FEES.  (a) Borrower agrees to pay or cause to be paid to
Lender, Paulson or U.S. Bank, all fees, including loan fees, costs, out-of-
pocket expenses, premiums, penalties, late charges and disbursements (the
"Related Payments") provided for in this Loan Agreement, the Promissory Note and
the promissory note attached thereto that may be due in connection with any
payment by Lender or Paulson to U.S. Bank under the Loan or in connection with
nonpayment by Borrower of the loan when required.

     (b)  Borrower agrees to pay Paulson a loan fee in respect of the loan
evidenced by this Loan Agreement and the Promissory Note in the form of a cash
payment of $75,000 upon the closing of the initial public offering underwritten
by Paulson from the proceeds thereof.

     SECTION 6.     EVENTS OF DEFAULT.  (a)  If Borrower fails to pay, when due,
any of the obligations under this Loan Agreement or the Promissory Note, or if
Borrower fails to perform any obligation or covenant in this Loan Agreement, or
fails or neglects to perform, keep or observe any other material term,
provision, condition, covenant or agreement contained in this Loan Agreement,
then Borrower shall:

     (i)  issue to Paulson a warrant, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A,
exercisable for five years from the date of issuance, to purchase, at an
exercise price of $1.00 per share, one share of Borrower's common stock for each
$1.00 paid by Lender or Paulson to U.S. Bank with respect to the Loan,
including, interest, fees, late charges, and any other payments made by Lender
or Paulson in connection with such Loan; and

<PAGE>

     (ii) in the event Borrower's initial public offering underwritten by
Paulson is not completed by April 3, 2000, but Borrower completes another
financing transaction involving the issuance of equity securities, the
incurrence of debt or otherwise prior to December 31, 2000, the proceeds of
which are in excess of $575,000, then Borrower agrees to use the proceeds from
such financing, even if closed after April 3, 2000, to immediately repay the
loan of Lender, including interest, fees, late charges, and any other payments
made by Lender or Paulson in connection with such Loan and pay Paulson a cash
payment of $75,000 in respect of the loan fee.

     (b)  Any default by Lender under any of the agreements relating to the Loan
shall be and constitute a default under this Loan Agreement and, at the election
of Lender, trigger the payments by Borrower under Sections 1 through 6.

     SECTION 7.     TERM.  This Loan Agreement and the Promissory Note shall
terminate upon the first to occur of (i) repayment in full by Borrower of the
principal amount of the loan with all accrued interest, fees, late charges, and
any other payments made by Lender or Paulson in connection with such Loan,
payment in full by Borrower to Paulson of the $75,000 loan fee and satisfaction
of all other obligations of Borrower under this Loan Agreement and the
Promissory Note, (ii) issuance of the Warrant pursuant to Section 6 with the
continuing obligation for payment under Section 6(a)(ii) (in the event of the
tender of such payment, Paulson shall, at its sole election, either accept such
payment and surrender the previously issued warrant, or refuse such payment and
retain the previously issued warrant), or (iii) the mutual written consent of
Borrower, Lender and Paulson.

     SECTION 8.     AMENDMENTS, ETC.  Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Loan Agreement, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Loan
Agreement or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom shall in any case be
effective unless the same shall be in writing, accepted and signed by the
parties hereto, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

     SECTION 9.     NOTICES.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all
notices, consents, approvals and other communications provided for herein shall
be in writing (the terms "in writing" or "written", as used herein with respect
to such communications, include reference to communications that are telecopied,
sent by overnight courier or messenger, but not communications sent by e-mail or
similar electronic formats) and telecopied or sent by overnight courier or
messenger to the intended recipient at the address or telecopy number set forth
beneath its name on the signature page hereof; or as to any party, at such other
address or telecopy number as shall be designated by such party in a notice to
the party sending such communication.  Each such notice, request or other
communication shall be effective (i) if given by registered mail, return receipt
requested, three (3) business days after the date such communication is
deposited in the mails addressed as aforesaid or (ii) if given by any other
means, when delivered at the address specified in this Section 9, provided that
notices given by telecopier or other facsimile transmission shall not be
effective until received.

     SECTION 10.    NO WAIVER; REMEDIES.  No failure on the part of Lender to
exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof nor

<PAGE>

shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein
provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

     SECTION 11.    INDEMNIFICATION.  Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless Lender his heirs, representatives, assigns, and Paulson or any of its
affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents, from and against any and
all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, reasonable costs or expenses
whatsoever (other than costs or expenses payable pursuant to another provision
of this Loan Agreement) which Lender or Paulson may incur (or which may be
claimed against them by any person or entity whatsoever) by reason of or in
connection with (a) the execution, delivery, administration or enforcement of
this Loan Agreement or the Promissory Note, or (b) the execution and delivery or
transfer of, or payment or failure to pay under, this Loan Agreement or the
Promissory Note.  Nothing in this Section 11 is intended to limit the obligation
of Borrower contained in Sections 1 through 6 hereof.  If any action shall be
brought against Lender or Paulson in respect of which indemnity may be sought
against Borrower, Lender or Paulson shall promptly notify Borrower in writing,
and Borrower shall promptly assume the defense thereof, including the retention
of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lender and Paulson, the payment of all
expenses and the right to negotiate and consent to settlement.  Lender and
Paulson shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and
to participate in the defense thereof, and the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of Borrower.  Borrower shall not be liable for any
settlement of any such action effected without its consent by Lender or Paulson,
but if settled with the consent of Borrower or if there be a final judgment for
the plaintiff in any such action against Borrower or Lender or Paulson, with or
without the consent of Borrower, Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
each of Lender and Paulson to the extent provided herein.

     SECTION 12.    CONTINUING OBLIGATION.  This Agreement is a continuing
obligation and shall (a) be binding upon Borrower or its successor and (b) inure
to the benefit of and be enforceable by Lender or its successor.

     SECTION 13.    LIABILITY OF LENDER.  Neither Lender, his heirs,
representatives, assigns, nor Paulson or any of its affiliates, officers,
directors, employees, or agents shall be liable or responsible to Borrower or
any creditors or shareholders of Borrower for (a) the use which may be made of
the loan or the proceeds thereof; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness
of documents, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all
respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payments by Lender or
Paulson against presentation of documents which do not comply with the terms of
the loan of Lender or the Loan, including failure of any documents to bear any
reference or adequate reference to the loan of Lender or the Loan; or (d) any
other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under the
loan of Lender or the Loan.

     SECTION 14.    OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE.  The payment obligations of Borrower
under this Loan Agreement are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and will
be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Loan Agreement under all
circumstances, including the following circumstances:

<PAGE>

          (a)  Any lack of validity or enforceability of all or any of the Loan,
the Promissory Note, this Loan Agreement or any of the other related documents;

          (b)  Any amendment or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, any
of the terms and conditions of all or any of the Loan, the Promissory Note, this
Loan Agreement or any of the other related documents;

          (c)  The existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other rights that
Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or transferee of the
Promissory Note, this Loan Agreement, or the Loan (or any person or entity for
whom or for which any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting),
Lender, Paulson, U.S. Bank or any other person or entity, whether in connection
with this Loan Agreement, the related documents or any unrelated transaction; or

          (d)  Any other circumstances or happening whatsoever, whether or not
similar to any of the preceding.

     SECTION 15.    AUTHORIZATIONS AND WAIVERS.  Borrower consents to, waives
notice of, and authorizes and agrees that none of the following, on one or any
number of occasions, will affect Borrower's liability:

          (a) any increase or decrease in the amount of credit extended to
Lender, any extension of time for payment, any acceptance of partial payments,
or any other modification in the terms of the credit granted to or the
relationship with Lender and U.S. Bank;

          (b) any change, amendment, or renegotiation of any term or condition
of any agreement between Lender and U.S. Bank;

          (c) any settlement, compromise, discharge or release of any
indebtedness, including in any bankruptcy proceeding, any impairment of or
failure to perfect any security interest in any collateral, or any release or
agreement not to sue Lender;

          (d) any sale, transfer or other conveyance by Lender of its assets to
any entity or other person; and

          (e) any other thing between U.S. Bank and Lender or U.S. Bank and

<PAGE>

     SECTION 17.    SEVERABILITY.  Any provision of this Loan Agreement which is
prohibited, unenforceable or not authorized in any jurisdiction shall, as to
such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition,
unenforceability or non-authorization without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof or affecting the validity, enforceability or legality of such
provision in any other jurisdiction.

     SECTION 18.    GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement, in its entirety, shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Oregon.

in any such court and any claim that such forum is an inconvenient forum.  The
parties agree that jurisdiction and venue with respect to any lawsuit between or
among the parties involving the interpretation, compliance or enforcement of any
provision under this Loan Agreement shall be exclusively in the state or federal
courts located in Multnomah County, Oregon.

     SECTION 20.    COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be signed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the

                  This is to certify that, for value received and subject to the
terms and conditions set forth below, the Warrantholder (hereinafter defined) is
entitled to purchase, and the Company promises and agrees to sell and issue to
the Warrantholder, at any time on or after [April 3,] 2000 and on or before
[April 3,] 2005, up to 575,000 shares of Common Stock (hereinafter defined) at
the Exercise Price (hereinafter defined).

                  This Warrant Certificate is issued subject to the following
terms and conditions:

         1. DEFINITIONS OF CERTAIN TERMS. Except as may be otherwise clearly
required by the context, the following terms have the following meanings:

                  (a) "Act" means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

                  (b) "Issue Date" means April 3, 2000.

                  (c) "Commission" means the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                  (d) "Common Stock" means the common stock, $0.01 par value, of
the Company.

                  (e) "Company" means ImageWare Software, Inc., a California
corporation.

                  (f) "Exercise Price" means the price at which the
Warrantholder may purchase one share of Common Stock (or Securities obtainable
in lieu of one share of Common Stock) upon exercise of Warrants as determined
from time to time pursuant to the provisions hereof. The initial Exercise Price
is $1.00 per share of Common Stock.

                  (g) "Rules and Regulations" means the rules and regulations of
the Commission adopted under the Act.

                  (h) "Securities" means the securities obtained or obtainable
upon exercise of the Warrant or securities obtained or obtainable upon exercise,
exchange or conversion of such securities.

                  (i) "Warrant Certificate" means a certificate evidencing the
Warrant.

                  (j) "Warrantholder" means a record holder of the Warrant or
Securities. The initial Warrantholder is Paulson Investment Company, Inc.

                  (k) "Warrant" means the warrant evidenced by this certificate,
or any certificate obtained upon transfer or partial exercise of the Warrant
evidenced by any such certificate.

         2. EXERCISE OF WARRANTS. All or any part of the Warrant may be
exercised commencing on the date the Warrant is issued and ending at 5:00 p.m.
(Pacific Time) on the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date by surrendering this
Warrant Certificate, together with appropriate instructions, duly executed by
the Warrantholder or by its duly authorized attorney, at the office of the
Company, 10833 Thornmint Road, San Diego, California 92127, or at such other
office or agency as the Company may designate. Upon receipt of notice of
exercise, the Company shall immediately instruct its transfer agent to prepare
certificates for the Securities to be received by the Warrantholder upon
completion of the Warrant exercise. When such certificates are prepared, the
Company shall notify the Warrantholder and deliver such certificates to the
Warrantholder or as per the Warrantholder's instructions immediately upon
payment in full by the Warrantholder, in lawful money of the United States, of
the Exercise Price payable with respect to the Securities being purchased. If
the Warrantholder shall represent and warrant that all applicable registration
and prospectus delivery requirements for their sale have been complied with upon
sale of the


Page 1 - Purchase Warrant


<PAGE>


securities received upon exercise of the Warrant, such certificates shall not
bear a legend with respect to the Act.

         If fewer than all the Securities purchasable under the Warrant are
purchased, the Company will, upon such partial exercise, execute and deliver to
the Warrantholder a new Warrant Certificate (dated the date hereof), in form and
tenor similar to this Warrant Certificate, evidencing that portion of the
Warrant not exercised. The Securities to be obtained on exercise of the Warrant
will be deemed to have been issued, and any person exercising the Warrants will
be deemed to have become a holder of record of those Securities, as of the date
of the payment of the Exercise Price.

         3. ADJUSTMENTS IN CERTAIN EVENTS. The number, class, and price of
Securities for which this Warrant Certificate may be exercised are subject to
adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:

                  (a) If the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock
are divided into a greater number of shares or a dividend in stock is paid on
the Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is
then exercisable will be proportionately increased and the Exercise Price will
be proportionately reduced; and, conversely, if the outstanding shares of Common
Stock are combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the number
of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is then exercisable will be
proportionately reduced and the Exercise Price will be proportionately
increased. The increases and reductions provided for in this subsection 3(a)
will be made with the intent and, as nearly as practicable, the effect that
neither the percentage of the total equity of the Company obtainable on exercise
of the Warrants nor the price payable for such percentage upon such exercise
will be affected by any event described in this subsection 3(a).

                  (b) In case of any change in the Common Stock through merger,
consolidation, reclassification, reorganization, partial or complete
liquidation, purchase of substantially all the assets of the Company, or other
change in the capital structure of the Company, then, as a condition of such
change, lawful and adequate provision will be made so that the holder of this
Warrant Certificate will have the right thereafter to receive upon the exercise
of the Warrant the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or
property to which he would have been entitled if, immediately prior to such
event, he had held the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon the
exercise of the Warrant. In any such case, appropriate adjustment will be made
in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights
and interest thereafter of the Warrantholder, to the end that the provisions set
forth herein will thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in
relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon
the exercise of the Warrant. The Company will not permit any change in its
capital structure to occur unless the issuer of the shares of stock or other
securities to be received by the holder of this Warrant Certificate, if not the
Company, agrees to be bound by and comply with the provisions of this Warrant
Certificate.

                  (c) When any adjustment is required to be made in the number
of shares of Common Stock, other securities, or the property purchasable upon
exercise of the Warrant, the Company will promptly determine the new number of
such shares or other securities or property purchasable upon exercise of the
Warrant and (i) prepare and retain on file a statement describing in reasonable
detail the method used in arriving at the new number of such shares or other
securities or property purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant and (ii) cause a
copy of such


Page 2 - Purchase Warrant

<PAGE>


statement to be mailed to the Warrantholder within thirty (30) days after the
date of the event giving rise to the adjustment.

                  (d) No fractional shares of Common Stock or other securities
will be issued in connection with the exercise of the Warrant, but the Company
will pay, in lieu of fractional shares, a cash payment therefor on the basis of
the mean between the bid and asked prices of the Common Stock in the
over-the-counter market or the last sale price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market or a national securities exchange, as the case may be, on the
day immediately prior to exercise.

                  (e) If securities of the Company or securities of any
subsidiary of the Company are distributed pro rata to holders of Common Stock,
such number of securities will be distributed to the Warrantholder or his
assignee upon exercise of his rights hereunder as such Warrantholder or assignee
would have been entitled to if this Warrant Certificate had been exercised prior
to the record date for such distribution. The provisions with respect to
adjustment of the Common Stock provided in this Section 3 will also apply to the
securities to which the Warrantholder or his assignee is entitled under this
subsection 3(e).

                  (f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, there
will be no adjustment made hereunder on account of the sale by the Company of
the Common Stock or other Securities purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant.

         4. RESERVATION OF SECURITIES. The Company agrees that the number of
shares of Common Stock or other Securities sufficient to provide for the
exercise of the Warrant upon the basis set forth above will at all times during
the term of the Warrant be reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Warrant.

         5. VALIDITY OF SECURITIES. All Securities delivered upon the exercise
of the Warrant will be duly and validly issued in accordance with their terms,
and the Company will pay all documentary and transfer taxes, if any, in respect
of the original issuance thereof upon exercise of the Warrant.

         6. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

                           effectiveness or the declaration or ordering of

                           Securities.

                  (b) REQUEST FOR REGISTRATION.

                           2001 or (ii) the date six months after the closing
                           date of the first registered public offering of
                           securities of the Company, if the Company shall
                           receive a written request from the Warrantholder that
                           the Company effect the registration under the Act of
                           Registrable Securities, then the Company shall,
                           within five days of the receipt thereof, give written
                           notice of such request to all Holders and shall,
                           subject to the limitations of this Section 6(b), use
                           its best efforts to effect such a registration as

                           Securities which the Holders shall in writing request
                           (within 20 days of receipt of the notice given by the
                           Company pursuant to this Section 6(b)) to be included
                           in such registration and to have such registration
                           statement become effective.

                           (ii) If the Warrantholder intends to distribute the
                           Registrable Securities covered by their request by
                           means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the
                           Company as part of their request made pursuant to
                           this Section 6(b) and the Company shall include such
                           information in the written notice referred to in
                           Section 6(b). In such event, the right of any Holder
                           to include its Registrable Securities in such
                           registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder's
                           participation in such underwriting and the inclusion
                           of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the
                           underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a
                           majority in interest of the Holders and such Holder)
                           to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing
                           to distribute their securities through such
                           underwriting shall (together with the Company as
                           provided in Section 6(d)(iv), enter into an
                           underwriting agreement in customary form with the
                           underwriter or underwriters selected for such
                           underwriting by the Company and reasonably acceptable
                           to the Warrantholder; provided, however, that if the
                           underwriter is not reasonably acceptable to a the
                           Warrantholder, the Warrantholder may select an
                           underwriter or underwriters which shall be reasonably
                           acceptable to the Company. Notwithstanding any other
                           provision of this Section 6, if, in the


Page 4 - Purchase Warrant


<PAGE>


                           case of a registration requested pursuant to Section
                           6(b), the underwriter advises the Warrantholder in
                           writing that marketing factors require a limitation
                           of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the
                           Warrantholder shall so advise the Company and all
                           Holders of Registrable Securities which would
                           otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and all
                           the securities other than Registrable Securities
                           sought to be included in the underwriting shall first
                           be excluded. To the extent that further limitation is
                           required, the number of Registrable Securities that
                           may be included in the underwriting shall be
                           allocated first to the Warrantholder then pro rata
                           among all Holders thereof desiring to participate in
                           such underwriting (according to the number of
                           Registrable Securities then held by each such
                           Holder). No Registrable Securities requested by any
                           Holder to be included in a registration pursuant to
                           Section 6(b) shall be excluded from the underwriting
                           unless all securities other than Registrable
                           Securities are first excluded.

                           (iii) The Company is obligated to effect pursuant to
                           Section 6(b) only one registration initiated by the
                           Warrantholder.

                           (iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
                           Section 6, in the event that the Company is requested
                           to file any registration statement pursuant to this
                           Section 6, (1) the Company shall not be obligated to
                           effect the filing of such registration statement:

                                    (a) during the 90 days following the
                                    effective date of any other registration
                                    statement pertaining to an underwritten
                                    public offering of securities for the
                                    account of the Company or any Holder;

                                    (b) if, in the case of the initial public
                                    offering of the Company's securities, the
                                    Company and the Warrantholder are unable to
                                    obtain the commitment of the underwriter
                                    selected pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii) to
                                    underwrite the offering on a firm commitment
                                    basis; or

                                    (c) for a period of up to 90 days after the
                                    date of a request for registration pursuant
                                    to this Section 6 if at the time of such
                                    request (1) the Company is engaged, or has
                                    fixed plans to engage, within 90 days of the
                                    time of such request, in a firm commitment
                                    underwritten public offering of Common Stock
                                    in which the holders of Registrable
                                    Securities include Registrable Securities
                                    pursuant to Section 6(c); or (2) the Company
                                    is currently engaged in a self-tender or
                                    exchange offer and the filing of a
                                    registration statement would cause a
                                    violation of the Securities Exchange Act of
                                    1934, as amended (the "1934 Act");

                           or (2) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders
                           requesting such registration statement a certificate
                           signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company
                           stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board
                           of Directors, it would not be in the best interests
                           of the Company and its

                           shareholders generally for such registration
                           statement to be filed, the Company shall have the
                           right to defer such filing for a period of not more
                           than 90 days after receipt of the request of the
                           relevant Warrantholder; provided, however, that the
                           Company may not utilize the right set forth in this
                           Section 6(b)(iv)(2) more than once in any
                           twelve-month period.

                  (c) COMPANY REGISTRATION. If (but without any obligation to do
so) the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration
effected by the Company for shareholders other than the Warrantholder) any of
its capital stock or other securities under the Act in connection with the
public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than a registration on
Form S-8 relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company
stock plan or a registration on Form S-4 or a Rule 145 transaction), the Company
shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such
registration. Upon the written request of any Holder given within 20 days after
mailing of such notice by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the
provisions of Section 6, cause a registration statement covering all of the
Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be registered to
become effective under the Act.

                  (d) OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. Whenever required under this
Section 6 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company
shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible, prepare and file with the SEC a
registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and cause
such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the
Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep
such registration statement effective for up to 180 days or until such earlier
time at which such Holders have informed the Company in writing that the
distribution of their securities has been completed (such 180-day or shorter
period, the "Effectiveness Period"). In addition, the Company shall:

                           (i) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
                           supplements to such registration statement and the
                           prospectus used in connection with such registration
                           statement, and cause each such amendment and
                           supplement to become effective, as may be necessary
                           to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect
                           to the disposition of all securities covered by such
                           registration statement during the Effectiveness
                           Period.

                           (ii) Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of
                           a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in
                           conformity with the requirements of the Act, and such
                           other documents as they may reasonably request in
                           order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable
                           Securities owned by them.

                           (iii) Register or qualify the securities covered by
                           such registration statement under such other
                           securities or Blue Sky laws of such states and
                           jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the
                           Holders, except that the Company shall not be
                           required in connection therewith or as a condition
                           thereto to qualify to do business, subject itself to
                           taxation or file a general consent to service of
                           process in any such state or jurisdiction.

                           (iv) In the event of any underwritten public
                           offering, enter into and perform its obligations
                           under an underwriting agreement, in usual and
                           customary form, with the managing underwriter of such
                           offering. Each Holder participating in such
                           underwriting shall also enter into and perform


Page 6 - Purchase Warrant

<PAGE>


                           its obligations under such an underwriting agreement,
                           including furnishing any opinion of counsel or
                           entering into a lock-up agreement reasonably
                           requested by the managing underwriter.

                           (v) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities
                           covered by such registration statement, at any time
                           when a prospectus relating thereto covered by such
                           registration statement is required to be delivered
                           under the Act, of the happening of any event as a
                           result of which the prospectus included in such
                           registration statement, as then in effect, includes
                           an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
                           state a material fact required to be stated therein
                           or necessary to make the statements therein not
                           misleading in the light of the circumstances then
                           existing and promptly file such amendments and
                           supplements which may be required pursuant to Section
                           6(d)(ii) on account of such event and use its best
                           efforts to cause each such amendment and supplement
                           to become effective.

                           (vi) Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting
                           registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to
                           this Section 6, on the date that such Registrable
                           Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale
                           in connection with a registration pursuant to this
                           Section 6, if such securities are being sold through
                           underwriters, or, if such securities are not being
                           sold through underwriters, on the date that the
                           registration statement with respect to such
                           securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion or
                           opinions, dated such date, of the counsel
                           representing the Company for the purposes of such
                           registration, in form and substance as is customarily
                           given by company counsel to the underwriters in an
                           underwritten public offering, addressed to the
                           underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting
                           registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a
                           letter dated such date, from the independent
                           certified public accountant of the Company, in form
                           and substance as is customarily given by independent
                           certified public accountants to underwriters in an
                           underwritten public offering, addressed to the
                           underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting
                           registration of Registrable Securities.

                           (vii) Apply for listing and list the Registrable
                           Securities being registered on any national
                           securities exchange on which a class of the Company's
                           equity securities is listed or, if the Company does
                           not have a class of equity securities listed on a
                           national securities exchange, apply for qualification
                           and use its best efforts to qualify the Registrable
                           Securities being registered for inclusion on the
                           automated quotation system of the National
                           Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

                           (viii) Without in any way limiting the types of
                           registrations to which this Section 6 shall apply, in
                           the event that the Company shall effect a "shelf
                           registration" under Rule 415 promulgated under the
                           Act, the Company shall take all necessary action,
                           including, without limitation, the filing of
                           post-effective amendments, to permit the Holders to
                           include their Registrable Securities in such
                           registration in accordance with the terms of this
                           Section 6.

                  (e) FURNISH INFORMATION. It shall be a condition precedent to
the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 6 in
respect of the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such selling
Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the
Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of
such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of its
Registrable Securities.

                  (f) EXPENSES OF DEMAND REGISTRATION. All expenses other than
underwriting discounts and commissions relating to Registrable Securities
incurred in connection with each registration, filing or qualification pursuant
to Section 6(b)(i) including (without limitation) all registration, filing and
qualification fees, printing and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of
counsel for the Company, and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the
selling Holders, shall be borne by the Company. All underwriting discounts and
commissions relating to Registrable Securities included in any registration
effected pursuant to Section 6(b)(i) will be borne and paid ratably by the
Holders of such Registrable Securities.

                  (g) EXPENSES OF COMPANY REGISTRATION. The Company shall bear
and pay all expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or
qualification of Registrable Securities with respect to any registration
pursuant to Section 6(c) for each Holder, including, without limitation, all
registration, filing and qualification fees, printing and accounting fees, fees
and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the fees and disbursements of
counsel for the selling Holders. Underwriting discounts and commissions relating
to Registrable Securities included in any registration effected pursuant to
Section 6(c) will be borne and paid ratably by the Holders of such Registrable
Securities.

                  (h) UNDERWRITING REQUIREMENTS. In connection with any offering
involving an underwriting of securities being issued by the Company, the Company
shall not be required under Section 6(c) to include any of the Holders'
securities in such underwriting unless such Holders accept the terms of the
underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by
it, and then only in such quantity, if any, as in the reasonable opinion of the
underwriters, marketing factors allow. If the managing underwriter for the
offering shall advise the Company in writing that the total amount of
securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by shareholders to be
included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities to be sold other than
by the Company that marketing factors allow, then the Company shall be required
to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including
Registrable Securities, which the managing underwriter believes marketing
factors allow (the securities so included to be reduced as follows: (a) all
securities which shareholders other than the Company and the Holders seek to
include in the offering shall be excluded from the offering to the extent
limitation on the number of shares included in the underwriting is required, and
(b) if further limitation on the number of shares to be included in the
underwriting is required, then the number of shares held by Holders that may be
included in the underwriting shall be reduced so that the number of shares
included in the underwriting are pro rata in accordance with the number of
shares of Registrable Securities held by each such Holder), but in no event
shall the amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the offering
be reduced below 25% of the total amount of securities included in such
offering, unless such offering is the initial public offering of the Company's
securities in which case the selling Holders may be excluded if the managing
underwriter makes the determination described above and no securities other than
those of the Company are included. For purposes of the preceding parenthetical
concerning apportionment, for any selling shareholder which is a Holder of
Registrable Securities and which is a partnership, a limited liability company
or a


Page 8 - Purchase Warrant

<PAGE>


corporation, the partners, retired partners, members, retired members and
shareholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of such partners,
retired partners, members and retired members and any trusts for the benefit of
any of the foregoing persons shall collectively be deemed to be a "Selling
Holder," and any pro rata reduction with respect to such "Selling Holder" shall
be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned
by all entities and individuals included in such "Selling Holder," as defined in
this sentence.

                  (i) INDEMNIFICATION. In the event any Registrable Securities
are included in a registration statement under this Section 6:

                           (i) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each
                           Holder, the officers, directors, partners, members,
                           agents and employees of each Holder, any underwriter
                           (as defined in the Act) for such Holder and each
                           person, if any, who controls or is deemed to control
                           such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the
                           Act or the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims,
                           damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which
                           they may become subject under the Act, the 1934 Act
                           or any other federal or state law, insofar as such
                           losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
                           respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
                           of the following statements, omissions or violations
                           (each a "Violation"): (i) any untrue statement or
                           alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
                           in such registration statement, including any
                           preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
                           therein or any amendments or supplements thereto,
                           (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state
                           therein a material fact required to be stated therein
                           or necessary to make the statements therein, in light
                           of the circumstances in which they were made, not
                           misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged
                           violation by the Company of the Act, the 1934 Act,
                           any state securities law or any rule or regulation
                           promulgated under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state
                           securities law in connection with any matter relating
                           to such registration statement. The Company will
                           reimburse each such Holder, officer, director,
                           partner, member, agent, employee, underwriter or
                           controlling person or person who is deemed to control
                           for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
                           by them in connection with investigating or defending
                           any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action.
                           The indemnity agreement contained in this Section
                           6(i)(i) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement
                           of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action if
                           such settlement is effected without the consent of
                           the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably
                           withheld), nor shall the Company be liable to a
                           Holder in any such case for any such loss, claim,
                           damage, liability or action (1) to the extent that it
                           arises out of or is based upon a Violation which
                           occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
                           written information furnished expressly for use in
                           connection with such registration by or on behalf of
                           such Holder, underwriter or controlling person or (2)
                           in the case of a sale directly by a Holder of
                           Registrable Securities (including a sale of such
                           Registrable Securities through any underwriter
                           retained by such Holder engaging in a distribution
                           solely on behalf of such Holder), such untrue
                           statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
                           alleged omission was contained in a

                           preliminary prospectus and corrected in a final or
                           amended prospectus, and such Holder failed to deliver
                           a copy of the final or amended prospectus at or prior
                           to the confirmation of the sale of the Registrable
                           Securities to the person asserting any such loss,
                           claim, damage or liability in any case in which such
                           delivery is required by the Act.

                           (ii) Each Holder which includes any Registrable
                           Securities in any registration statement will
                           indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its
                           directors, each of its officers who have signed the
                           registration statement, each person, if any, who
                           controls the Company within the meaning of the Act,
                           each employee, agent, and any underwriter for the
                           Company, and any other Holder or other shareholder
                           selling securities in such registration statement or
                           any of its directors, officers, partners, members,
                           agents or employees or any person who controls such
                           Holder or such other shareholder or such underwriter,
                           against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities
                           (joint or several) to which the Company or any such
                           director, officer, controlling person, employee,
                           agent, or underwriter or controlling person, or other
                           such Holder, shareholder, director, officer or
                           controlling person may become subject, under the Act,
                           the 1934 Act or other federal or state law, insofar
                           as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
                           actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based
                           upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and
                           only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in
                           reliance upon and in conformity with written
                           information furnished by or on behalf of such Holder
                           expressly for use in connection with such
                           registration, and each such Holder will reimburse any
                           legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the
                           Company or any such director, officer, controlling
                           person, agent or underwriter or controlling person,
                           other Holder or other shareholder, officer, director,
                           partner, member, agent, employee, or controlling
                           person in connection with investigating or defending
                           any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action;
                           provided, however, that the liability of any Holder
                           hereunder shall be limited to the amount of net
                           proceeds (after deduction of all underwriters'
                           discounts and commissions paid by such Holder in
                           connection with the registration in question)
                           received by such Holder, in the offering giving rise
                           to the Violation; and provided, further, that the
                           indemnity agreement contained in this Section
                           6(i)(ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in
                           settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability
                           or action if such settlement is effected without the
                           consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be
                           unreasonably withheld or delayed nor, in the case of
                           a sale directly by the Company of its securities
                           (including a sale of such securities through any
                           underwriter retained by the Company to engage in a
                           distribution solely on behalf of the Company), shall
                           the Holder be liable to the Company in any case in
                           which such untrue statement or alleged untrue
                           statement or omission or alleged omission was
                           contained in a preliminary prospectus and corrected
                           in a final or amended prospectus, and the Company
                           failed to deliver a copy of the final or amended
                           prospectus at or prior to the confirmation of the
                           sale of the securities to the person asserting any
                           such loss, claim, damage or liability in any case in
                           which such


Page 10 - Purchase Warrant

<PAGE>


                           delivery is required by the Act. The obligations of
                           the Holders hereunder are several, and not joint.

                           (iii) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party
                           under this Section 6(i) of notice of the commencement
                           of any action (including any governmental action),
                           such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect
                           thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party
                           under this Section 6(i), deliver to the indemnifying
                           party a written notice of the commencement thereof
                           and the indemnifying party shall have the right to
                           participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying
                           party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying
                           party similarly noticed, to assume and control the
                           defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to
                           the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified
                           party shall have the right to retain its own counsel,
                           with the fees and expenses to be paid by the
                           indemnifying party, if representation of such
                           indemnified party by the counsel retained by the
                           indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to
                           actual or potential differing interests, as
                           reasonably determined by either party, between such
                           indemnified party and any other party represented by
                           such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to
                           deliver written notice to the indemnifying party
                           within a reasonable time of the commencement of any
                           such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend
                           such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of
                           any liability to the indemnified party under this
                           Section 6(i) to the extent of such prejudice, but the
                           omission so to deliver written notice to the
                           indemnifying party will not relieve it of any
                           liability that it may have to any indemnified party
                           otherwise than under this Section 6(i).

                           (iv) The obligations of the Company and the Holders
                           under this Section 6(i) shall survive the completion
                           of any offering of Registrable Securities in a
                           registration statement whether under this Section 6
                           or otherwise.

                  (j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any
indemnification obligation arising out of any claims subject to the
indemnification provisions contained in the Underwriting Agreement shall be
governed entirely by the Underwriting Agreement, and not by the provisions of
this Warrant.

                  (k) REPORTS UNDER SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934; RESALES
UNDER RULE 144; FORM S-3 REGISTRATION. With a view to making available to the
Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act ("Rule 144") and any
other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell
securities of the Company to the public without registration, and with a view to
making it possible for Holders to have the resale of the Registrable Securities
registered pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3, the Company agrees
to:

                           (i) make and keep public information available, as
                           those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144,
                           at all times after 90 days after the effective date
                           of the first registration statement filed by the
                           Company for the offering of its securities to the
                           general public;


Page 11 - Purchase Warrant

<PAGE>


                           (ii) concurrently with the first registered public
                           offering, take such action, including the voluntary
                           registration of its Common Stock under Section 12 of
                           the 1934 Act or compliance with the reporting
                           requirements of Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act, as is
                           necessary to enable the Holders to utilize Form S-3
                           for the sale of their Registrable Securities;

                           (iii) after the first registered public offering,
                           file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and
                           other documents required of the Company under the Act
                           and the 1934 Act; and

                           (iv) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder
                           owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon
                           request (1) a written statement by the Company as to
                           its compliance with the reporting requirements of
                           Rule 144 (at any time after 90 days after the
                           effective date of the first registration statement
                           filed by the Company for the offering of the
                           securities to the general public), the Act and the
                           1934 Act (at any time after it has become subject to
                           such reporting requirements), or as to its
                           qualification as a registrant whose securities may be
                           resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after it so
                           qualifies), (2) a copy of the most recent annual or
                           quarterly report of the Company and such other
                           reports and documents so filed by the Company, and
                           (3) such other documents as may be reasonably
                           requested in availing any Holder of any rule or
                           regulation of the SEC which permits the selling of
                           any such securities without registration or pursuant
                           to such form.

                  (l) LOCK-UP AGREEMENTS. If reasonably requested by the Company
and the managing underwriter, the Holders agree to enter into lock-up agreements
pursuant to which they will not, for a period of no more than 180 days following
the effective date of the first registration statement for a public offering of
the Company's securities, offer, sell or otherwise dispose of the Registrable
Securities or other equity securities of the Company, except the Registrable
Securities sold pursuant to such registration statement, without the prior
consent of the Company and the underwriter, provided that the officers,
directors and all holders of more than 1% of the shares of Common Stock prior to
the public offering (calculated for the purpose as if all securities convertible
into or exercisable for Common Stock, directly or indirectly, are so converted
or exercised) of the Company enter such lock-up agreements for the same period
and on the same terms.

                  (m) ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights to cause the
Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6 may be
assigned by any Holder to a transferee, and by such transferee to a subsequent
transferee, but only if such rights are transferred (a)(i) to an affiliate,
subsidiary, partner (former or current), member or shareholder of such Holder or
transferee or an account managed or advised by the manager or adviser of such
Holder or transferee, (ii) by gift or bequest or through inheritance to, or for
the benefit of, any member or members of such Holder's immediate family or to a
trust for the benefit of any member or members of such Holder's immediate
family, or (iii) to a trust in respect of which such Holder serves as trustee,
provided, however, that the trust instrument governing such trust shall provide
that such Holder, as trustee, shall retain sole and exclusive control over the
voting and disposition of such rights until the termination of this Agreement,
or (b) in connection with the sale or other transfer of not fewer than an
aggregate of 25,000 Registrable Securities (as adjusted for stock splits,


Page 12 - Purchase Warrant

<PAGE>


combinations, stock dividends and similar recapitalization events which affect
the number of issued and outstanding shares of Registrable Securities) or some
lesser number, if such lesser number represents all the Registrable Securities
then held by such Holder. Any transferee to whom rights under this Agreement are
transferred shall (i) as a condition to such transfer, deliver to the Company a
written instrument by which such transferee agrees to be bound by the
obligations imposed upon Holders under this Agreement to the same extent as if
such transferee were a Holder under this Agreement and (ii) be deemed to be a
Holder hereunder.

                  (n) UNDERWRITERS AND ADVISORS. The Company shall not engage an
underwriter or acquisition advisor without such underwriter or advisor first
being approved of by the Warrantholder.

         7. NO RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
Warrantholder will not, by virtue of ownership of the Warrant, be entitled to
any rights of a shareholder of the Company but will, upon written request to the
Company, be entitled to receive such quarterly or annual reports as the Company
distributes to its shareholders.

         8. NOTICE. Any notices required or permitted to be given hereunder will
be in writing and may be served personally or by mail; and if served will be
addressed as follows:



         If to the Company:

                  10833 Thornmint Road
                  San Diego, California 92127
                  Attn:  President

         If to the Warrantholder:

                  at the address furnished
                  by the Warrantholder to the
                  Company for the purpose of
                  notice.

         Any notice so given by mail will be deemed effectively given 48 hours
after mailing when deposited in the United States mail, registered or certified
mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid and addressed as specified
above. Any party may by written notice to the other specify a different address
for notice purposes.

         9. OPTIONAL CONVERSION.

                  (a) In addition to and without limiting the right of any
Holder under the terms of this Warrant, the Warrantholder shall have the right
(the "Conversion Right") to convert this Warrant or any portion thereof into
Securities as provided in this Section 9 at any time or from time to time after
the Issue Date and prior to its expiration. Upon exercise of the Conversion
Right with respect to a particular number of Securities subject to this Warrant
(the "Converted Securities"), the Company shall deliver to the holder of this
Warrant, without payment by the holder of any exercise price or any cash or
other consideration, that number of Securities equal to the quotient obtained by
dividing the Net Value (as hereinafter defined) of the Converted Securities


Page 13 - Purchase Warrant

<PAGE>


by the sum of the fair market value (as defined in paragraph (c) below) of a
single share of Common Stock , determined in each case as of the close of
business on the Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined). The "Net Value" of the
Converted Securities shall be determined by subtracting the aggregate Exercise
Price of the Converted Securities from the aggregate fair market value of the
Converted Securities. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9 to the
contrary, the Conversion Right cannot be exercised with respect to a number of
Converted Securities having a Net Value below $100. No fractional shares shall
be issuable upon exercise of the Conversion Right, and if the number of shares
to be issued in accordance with the foregoing formula is other than a whole
number, the Company shall pay to the holder of this Warrant an amount in cash
equal to the fair market value of the resulting fractional share.

                  (b) The Conversion Right may be exercised by the holder of
this Warrant by the surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the
Company together with a written statement specifying that the holder thereby
intends to exercise the Conversion Right and indicating the number of Securities
subject to this Warrant which are being surrendered (referred to in paragraph
(a) above as the Converted Securities) in exercise of the Conversion Right. Such
conversion shall be effective upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant
together with the aforesaid written statement, or on such later date as is
specified therein (the "Conversion Date"), but not later than the expiration
date of this Warrant. Certificates for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Conversion Right, together with a check in payment of any
fractional share and, in the case of a partial exercise, a new Warrant
evidencing the Securities remaining subject to this Warrant, shall be issued as
of the Conversion Date, and shall be delivered to the holder of this Warrant
within seven days following the Conversion Date.

                  (c) For purposes of this Section 9, the "fair market value" of
a share of Common Stock as of a particular date shall be the mean between the
bid and asked price of the Common Stock, as the case may be, as quoted in the
over the counter market, or, if applicable, the closing sale price of the Common
Stock, as the case may be, on the Nasdaq Stock Market or a national exchange.

         10. APPLICABLE LAW. This Warrant Certificate will be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Oregon, without reference
to conflict of laws principles thereunder. All disputes relating to this Warrant
Certificate shall be tried before the courts of Oregon located in Multnomah
County, Oregon, to the exclusion of all other courts that might have
jurisdiction.

                    terms may need to be modified as a result of subsequent
                    negotiations between HP and Customer. The parties will

                    thirty (30) days after notice of the award of the Prime
                    Contract, HP shall have the right upon ten (10) days
                    prior notice to Company to terminate the relationship
                    and to make other arrangements for the performance of

5.2       The Sub-Contractor warrants that the products, services and other
          assistance to be provided will be as claimed in the Proposal and
          will be performed in accordance with its specifications whether

          available for breach of this warranty shall be defined in, and
          subject to, the terms and limitations of the warranty contained in
          this Agreement, or of the Sub-Contractor's standard commercial
          warranties if no such contractual warranty exists. Nothing in this
          warranty shall be construed to limit any rights or remedies provided
          elsewhere in this Agreement with respect to matters other than Year
          2000 performance, except that the period of this Year 2000 warranty
          shall extend through December 31, 2000, notwithstanding any other
          warranty period specified in this Agreement.

6.        CONFIDENTIALITY

6.1       During the term of this Agreement, either party may receive or have
          access to technical information, as well as information about
          product plans and strategies, promotions, customers and related
          non-technical business information which the disclosing party
          considers to be confidential ("Confidential Information"). In the
          event Confidential Information is to be disclosed, the parties shall
          first agree to disclose and receive such information in confidence.
          If then disclosed, the Confidential Information shall be marked as
          confidential at the time of disclosure, or if disclosed orally but
          stated to be confidential, shall be designated as confidential in a
          writing by the disclosing party

<PAGE>

          summarising the Confidential Information disclosed and sent to the
          receiving party within 30 days after such oral disclosure.

6.2       Confidential Information may be used by the receiving party only
          with respect to the performance of its obligations under this
          Agreement or the Proposal, and only by those employees of the
          receiving party and its subcontractors who have a need to know such
          information for purposes related to this Agreement, provided that
          such subcontractors have signed separate agreements containing
          substantially similar confidentiality provisions. The parties shall
          not use the Confidential Information in violation of any federal or
          state securities laws. The receiving party shall protect the
          Confidential Information of the disclosing party by using the same
          degree of care (but not less than a reasonable degree of care) to
          prevent the unauthorized use, dissemination or publication of such
          Confidential Information, as the receiving party uses to protect its
          own confidential information of like nature.

6.3       The obligations stated in this Section 6 shall not apply to any
          information which is:

          6.3.1     Already known by the receiving party prior to disclosure.

          6.3.2     Publicly available through no fault of the receiving party.

          6.3.3     Rightfully received from a third party without a duty of
                    confidentiality.

          6.3.4     Disclosed by the disclosing party to a third party without
                    a duty of confidentiality on such third party.

          6.3.5     Independently developed by the receiving party prior to or
                    independent of the disclosure.

          6.3.6     Disclosed under operation of law, provided however, that
                    upon issuance of any court or administration order or any
                    subpoena, the receiving party shall promptly notify the
                    disclosing part and shall provide the disclosing party
                    with an opportunity (if then available) to contest the
                    proprietary of such order or subpoena (or to arrange
                    appropriate safeguards against further disclosure by
                    the entity seeking to compel disclosure of such
                    Confidential Information.)

          6.3.7     Disclosed by the receiving party with the disclosing
                    party's prior written approval.

7.        LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

7.1       EXCEPT FOR CLAIMS OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT OR BREACH OF
          CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE
          LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES

EXHIBIT A

                     WORK TO BE PROVIDED BY THE PARTIES

Project CPIDS's key objective is to use the facial recognition technology for
the purpose of criminal investigation.

HP and Company will work together to submit a proposal of a facial
recognition technology based system to meet the Customer's requirements.

Company will be regarded as the solution and technology expert for facial
recognition solution, and will supply its facial recognition
products/components, with customized work to be performed by the Company.
These items must be integrated into the complete system to ensure a seamless
integrated solution. As the solution provider, the Company will provide the
necessary professional services to maximize the use of the facial recognition
technology.

Requirements for facial recognition will include 1-1 matching and 1-n matching
of a) scanned photo vs facial database and b) graphically constructed facial
image vs facial database. The facial database will be constructed from either
scanned photo or image captured using digital cameras.

Company will provide, either directly or through its relations with its other
partners, the expertise to incorporate value added components such as
graphics software for digitally constructing a photo-realistic facial image.
Photo aging is highly desirable. This is to replace the manual process of
photo-fitting. The constructed image will be submitted to the system for
facial recognition.

Company will work together with HP on the necessary components to enable the
database conversion (or construction) from card-based records to the proposed
system database.

Company will be the key contributor in a likely system benchmark to verify
the facial recognition accuracy. Company will be responsible for ensuring
that the system achieves the proposed facial recognition accuracy.

Company will work with HP in devising the appropriate system management
solution, using HP OpenView.

All components must be able to be integrated into a 3-tier client/server
web-based architecture. Expected operating systems for the facial recognition
engine is HP-UX 11 and/or WinNT 4.0. Expected client and application server
operating system is WinNT 4.0.

Please note, Unix will require a customized port of the technology. NT is no
problem today.

          in combination with Integrated System, license to combine in

          of this Agreement.

          OEM a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable, royalty
          bearing license which shall be perpetual and irrevocable so long as

          its sole discretion.

     During the Term of this Agreement.

     2.3  OEM shall require each End-User of Integrated System, in whole or in

          Such restrictions shall be set forth either in a written agreement
          signed by the End-User prior to or upon receipt of the Integrated
          System, or in a preprinted statement that accompanies the Integrated
          System in a conspicuous and fully visible manner at the time of their
          transfer.

          By accepting delivery of the Integrated System or by executing a
          written agreement, the recipient must agree to be bound by the
          restrictions in the following sections.

          2.3.1  The End-User may (1) use the Licensed Product only as an
                 integral component of the Integrated System; (2) make one copy
                 of the Integrated System in machine-readable form for
                 nonproductive backup purposes only; and (3) use the Integrated
                 System only for internal purposes and not for service bureau
                 work, or time-sharing arrangements unless authorized in
                 writing by Excalibur.

          2.3.2  The End-User may not use, copy, modify, or transfer the

                 nonassignable. If the End-User transfers possession of any
                 copy, adaptation, transcription, or merged portion of the
                 Integrated System to any other party (except to a successor
                 in interest of the End-User's business that assumes all of
                 the End-User's obligations with respect to the Integrated
                 System), the End-User's rights in the Integrated System are
                 automatically terminated.

                  right, title, and interest in and to the Licensed Product,
                  including ownership of all trade secrets and copyrights
                  pertaining thereto, subject only to the rights and privileges
                  expressly granted by Excalibur hereunder.

          2.3.4   The End-User is not entitled to receive Source Code, and
                  under no circumstances may the End-User reverse-compile or
                  reverse-assemble the Object Code.

          2.3.5   The OEM must reproduce and include in all copies of the
                  Integrated System, the copyright notice(s) and proprietary
                  legend(s) of Excalibur as they appear in the Licensed Product
                  and on the media containing the Licensed Product supplied to
                  End Users by OEM or by OEM to its distributors.

          2.3.6   The End-User's obligations hereunder remain in effect for as
                  long as it continues to possess or use the Licensed Product
                  as a component of the Integrated System, and such obligations
                  shall be for the benefit of Excalibur and shall be
                  enforceable by Excalibur.

          2.3.7  During the term of this Agreement, Excalibur agrees that it
                 will not execute a license to deliver the source code that is
                 being licensed to OEM hereunder as Licensed Product or
                 Licensed Source Code Product to the firms listed in Schedule 3
                 attached hereto, or to directly or indirectly for a period of
                 six months from the date of this Agreement either by itself or
                 with third parties develop or market any product competing

                           LICENSED SOURCE CODE PRODUCT

1.  Face DataBlade for the Informix Universal Server (Includes source code).

2.  Face Recognition SDK and Face Feature Extractors (Includes source code and
test/sample programs).

Excalibur Face DataBlade Description (EFR)

Excalibur is providing ImageWare with an "as is" source code license for the EFR
DataBlade. Additionally Excalibur is providing an "as is" source code license
for the Excalibur Face Recognition SDK and a binary copy of the current version
of Visual RetrievalWare.

The EFR DataBlade Module is based on feature vector algorithms and processing
techniques unique to Excalibur. This DataBlade will allow the creation of user
applications to create databases based on the characteristics, or features,
extracted from a face. These features will be learned into image indices (using
the secondary access method, efrnet), and will be used to search for images
containing characteristics similar to a clue image.

The EFR DataBlade will consist of the following components:

          - THE FACE CLIENT COMPONENT.  This component contains the client
functions that perform the necessary preprocessing steps on an image that
contains one or more faces.

          - THE FACE FEATURES COMPONENT.  A variety of types and server
functions that make up the efrnet secondary access method. This access method
will provide the necessary functions to create and maintain face indices, and
allows for indexing and searching a database of faces.

          - THE FACE PROCESSING COMPONENT.  This component provides the server
functions to support indexing, search and retrieval of face images. The
function, which extracts the facial features, will be included in this group, as
will the positive identification capability.

- - SQL interface for client application development. The SQL API will allow
third parties to develop database applications that incorporate tables
derived from the results of learning image data into indices produced by the
EFR DataBlade.

Excalibur Face Recognition SDK

The Excalibur Face Recognition SDK, provides an API for indexing, searching and
retrieving face images. Components of the Face SDK are embedded within the EFR
DataBlade. Additionally, specific Face Recognition feature extraction algorithms
are included for functions such as face and eye location in addition to the face
indexing and retrieval.

provided in this Lease, promptly after receipt of written notice from Lessee
given within six (6) months following the Commencement Date and setting forth
with specificity the nature and extent of non-compliance, take such action,
at Lessor's expense, as may be reasonable or appropriate to rectify the
non-compliance. Lessor makes no warranty that the Permitted Use in Paragraph

3.     TERM.

       3.1     TERM. The Commencement Date, Expiration Date and Original Term
of this Lease are as specified in Paragraph 1.3.

       3.2     EARLY POSSESSION. If an Early Possession Date is specified in
Paragraph 1.4 and if Lessee totally or partially occupies the Premises after
the Early Possession Date but prior to the Commencement Date, the obligation
to pay Base Rent shall be abated for the period of such early occupancy. All
other terms of this Lease, however, (including but not limited to the
obligations to pay Lessee's Share of Common Area Operating Expenses and to
carry the insurance required by Paragraph 8) shall be in effect during such
period. Any such early possession shall not affect nor advance the Expiration
Date of the Original Term.*

       3.3     DELAY IN POSSESSION. If for any reason Lessor cannot deliver
possession of the Premises to Lessee by the Early Possession Date, if one is
specified in Paragraph 1.4, or if no Early Possession Date is specified, by
the Commencement Date, Lessor shall not be subject to any liability therefor,
nor shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease, or the obligations
of Lessee hereunder, or extend the term hereof, but in such case, Lessee
shall not, except as otherwise provided herein, be obligated to pay rent or
perform any other obligation of Lessee under the terms of this Lease until
Lessor delivers possession of the Premises to Lessee. If possession of the
Premises is not delivered to Lessee within sixty (60) days after the
Commencement Date, Lessee may, at its option, by notice in writing to Lessor
within ten (10) days after the end of said sixty (60) day period, cancel this
Lease, in which event the parties shall be discharged from all obligations
hereunder; provided further, however, that if such written notice of Lessee
is not received by Lessor within said ten (10) day period, Lessee's right to
cancel this Lease hereunder shall terminate and be of no further force or
effect. Except as may be otherwise provided, and regardless of when the
Original Term actually commences, if possession is not tendered to Lessee
when required by this Lease and Lessee does not terminate this Lease, as
aforesaid, the period free of the obligation to pay Base Rent, if any, that
Lessee would otherwise have enjoyed shall run from the date of delivery of
possession and continue for a period equal to the period during which the
Lessee would have otherwise enjoyed under the terms hereof, but minus any
days of delay caused by the acts, changes or omissions of Lessee.

4.     RENT.

       4.1     BASE RENT. Lessee shall pay Base Rent and other rent or
charges, as the same may be adjusted from time to time, to Lessor in lawful
money of the United States, without offset or deduction, on or before the day
on which it is due under the terms of this Lease. Base Rent and all other
rent and charges for any period during the term hereof which is for less than
one full month shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days of the
month involved. Payment of Base Rent and other charges shall be made to
Lessor at its address stated herein or to such other persons or at such other
addresses as Lessor may from time to time designate in writing to Lessee.

       4.2     COMMON AREA OPERATING EXPENSES. Lessee shall pay to Lessor
during the term hereof, in addition to the Base Rent, Lessee's Share (as
specified in Paragraph 1.6(b)) of all Common Area Operating Expenses, as
hereinafter defined in excess of the base year of this Lease, in
accordance with the following provisions:

that are not specifically attributable to the Building or to any other
building or to the operation, repair and maintenance thereof, shall be
equitably allocated by Lessor to all buildings in the Industrial Center.

               (c)     The inclusion of the improvements, facilities and
services set forth in Subparagraph 4.2(a) shall not be deemed to impose an
obligation upon Lessor to either have said improvements or facilities or to
provide those services unless the Industrial Center already has the same,
Lessor already provides the services, or Lessor has agreed elsewhere in this
Lease to provide the same or some of them.

               (d)     Lessee's Share of Common Area Operating Expenses shall
be payable by Lessee within ten (10) days after a reasonably detailed
statement of actual expenses is presented to Lessee by Lessor. At Lessor's
option, however, an amount may be estimated by Lessor from time to time of
Lessee's Share of annual Common Area Operating Expenses and the same shall be
payable monthly or quarterly, as Lessor shall designate, during each 12-month
period of the Lease term, on the same day as the Base Rent is due hereunder.
Lessor shall deliver to Lessee within sixty (60) days after the expiration of
each calendar year a reasonably detailed statement showing Lessee's Share of
the actual Common Area Operating Expenses incurred during the preceding year.
If Lessee's payments under this Paragraph 4.2(d) during said preceding year
exceed Lessee's Share as indicated on said statement, Lessee shall be
credited the amount of such over-

payment against Lessee's Share of Common Area Operating Expenses next
becoming due. If Lessee's payments under this Paragraph 4.2(d) during said
preceding year were less than Lessee's Share as indicated on said statement,
Lessee shall pay to Lessor the amount of the deficiency within ten (10) days
after delivery by Lessor to Lessee of said statement.  *

5.     SECURITY DEPOSIT. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon Lessee's
execution hereof the Security Deposit set forth in Paragraph 1.7 as security
for Lessee's faithful performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease.
If Lessee fails to pay Base Rent or other rent or charges due hereunder, or
otherwise Defaults under this Lease (as defined in Paragraph 13.1), Lessor
may use, apply or retain all or any portion of said Security Deposit for the
payment of any amount due Lessor or to reimburse or compensate Lessor for any
liability, cost, expense, loss or damage (including attorneys' fees) which
Lessor may suffer or incur by reason thereof. If Lessor uses or applies all
or any portion of said Security Deposit, Lessee shall within ten (10) days
after written request therefore deposit monies with Lessor sufficient to
restore said Security Deposit to the full amount required by this Lease. Any
time the Base Rent increases during the term of this Lease, Lessee shall,
upon written request from Lessor, deposit additional monies with Lessor as an
addition to the Security Deposit so that the total amount of the Security
Deposit shall at all times bear the same proportion to the then current Base
Rent as the initial Security Deposit bears to the initial Base Rent set forth
in Paragraph 1.5. Lessor shall not be required to keep all or any part of the
Security Deposit separate from its general accounts. Lessor shall, at the
expiration or earlier termination of the term hereof and after Lessee has
vacated the Premises, return to Lessee (or, at Lessor's option, to the last
assignee, if any, of Lessee's interest herein), that portion of the Security
Deposit not used or applied by Lessor. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in
writing by Lessor, no part of the Security Deposit shall be considered to be
held in trust, to bear interest or other increment for its use, or to be
prepayment for any monies to be paid by Lessee under this Lease.

6.     USE.

       6.1     PERMITTED USE.

               (a)     Lessee shall use and occupy the Premises only for the
Permitted Use set forth in Paragraph 1.8, or any other legal use which is
reasonably comparable thereto, and for no other purpose. Lessee shall not use
or permit the use of the Premises in a manner that is unlawful, creates waste
or a nuisance, or that disturbs owners and/or occupants of, or causes damage
to the Premises or neighboring premises or properties.

               (b)     Lessor hereby agrees to not unreasonably withhold or
delay its consent to any written request by Lessee, Lessee's assignees or
subtenants, and by prospective assignees and subtenants of Lessee, its
assignees and subtenants, for a modification of said Permitted Use, so long
as the same will not impair the structural integrity of the improvements on
the Premises or in the Building or the mechanical or electrical systems
therein, does not conflict with uses by other lessees, is not significantly
more burdensome to the Premises or the Building and the improvements thereon,
and is otherwise permissible pursuant to this Paragraph 6. If Lessor elects
to withhold such consent, Lessor shall within five (5) business days after
such request give a written notification of same, which notice shall include
an explanation of Lessor's reasonable objections to the change in use.

       6.2     HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES.

               (a)     REPORTABLE USES REQUIRE CONSENT. The term "HAZARDOUS
SUBSTANCE" as used in this Lease shall mean any product, substance, chemical,
material or waste whose presence, nature, quantity and/or intensity of
existence, use, manufacture, disposal, transportation, spill, release or
effect, either by itself or in combination with other materials expected to
be on the Premises, is either: (i) potentially injurious to the public
health, safety or welfare, the environment, or the Premises; (ii) regulated
or monitored by any governmental authority; or (iii) a basis for potential
liability of Lessor to any governmental agency or third party under any
applicable statute or common law theory. Hazardous Substance shall include,
but not be limited to, hydrocarbons, petroleum, gasoline, crude oil or any
products or by-products thereof. Lessee shall not engage in any activity in
or about the Premises which constitutes a Reportable Use (as hereinafter
defined) of Hazardous Substances without the express prior written consent of
Lessor and compliance in a timely manner (at Lessee's sole cost and expense)
with all Applicable Requirements (as defined in Paragraph 6.3). "REPORTABLE
USE" shall mean (i) the installation or use of any above or below ground
storage tank, (ii) the generation, possession, storage, use, transportation,
or disposal of a Hazardous Substance that requires a permit from, or with
respect to which a report, notice, registration or business plan is required
to be filed with, any governmental authority, and (iii) the presence in, on
or about the Premises of a Hazardous Substance with respect to which any
Applicable Laws require that a notice be given to persons entering or
occupying the Premises or neighboring properties. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Lessee may, without Lessor's prior consent, but upon notice to
Lessor and in compliance with all Applicable Requirements, use any ordinary
and customary materials reasonably required to be used by Lessee in the
normal course of the Permitted Use, so long as such use is not a Reportable
Use and does not expose the Premises or neighboring properties to any
meaningful risk of contamination or damage or expose Lessor to any liability
therefor. In addition, Lessor may (but without any obligation to do so)
condition its consent to any Reportable Use of any Hazardous Substance by
Lessee upon Lessee's giving Lessor such additional assurances as Lessor, in
its reasonable discretion, deems necessary to protect itself, the public, the
Premises and the environment against damage, contamination or injury and/or
liability therefor, including but not limited to the installation (and, at
Lessor's option, removal on or before Lease expiration or earlier
termination) of reasonably necessary protective modifications to the Premises
(such as concrete encasements) and/or the deposit of an additional Security
Deposit under Paragraph 5 hereof.

               (b)     DUTY TO INFORM LESSOR. If Lessee knows, or has
reasonable cause to believe, that a Hazardous Substance has come to be
located in, on, under or about the Premises or the Building, other than as
previously consented to by Lessor, Lessee shall immediately give Lessor
written notice thereof, together with a copy of any statement, report,
notice, registration, application, permit, business plan, license, claim,
action, or proceeding given to, or received from, any governmental authority
or private party concerning the presence, spill, release, discharge of, or
exposure to, such Hazardous Substance including but not limited to all such
documents as may be involved in any Reportable Use involving the Premises.
Lessee shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Substance to be spilled or
released in, on, under or about the Premises (including, without limitation,
through the plumbing or sanitary sewer system).

               (c)     INDEMNIFICATION. Lessee shall indemnify, protect,
defend and hold Lessor, its agents, employees, lenders and ground lessor, if
any, and the Premises, harmless from and against any and all damages,
liabilities, judgments, costs, claims, liens, expenses, penalties, loss of
permits and attorneys' and consultants' fees arising out of or involving any
Hazardous Substance brought onto the Premises by or for Lessee or by anyone
under Lessee's control. Lessee's obligations under this Paragraph 6.2(c)
shall include, but not be limited to, the effects of any contamination or
injury to person, property or the environment created or suffered by Lessee,
and the cost of investigation (including consultants' and attorneys' fees and
testing), removal, remediation, restoration and/or abatement thereof, or of
any contamination therein involved, and shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease. No termination, cancellation or release
agreement entered into by Lessor and Lessee shall release Lessee from its
obligations under this Lease with respect to Hazardous Substances, unless
specifically so agreed by Lessor in writing at the time of such agreement.

       6.3     LESSEE'S COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS. Lessee shall, at
Lessee's sole cost and expense, fully, diligently and in a timely manner,
comply with all "APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS," which term is used in this Lease
to mean all laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, directives, covenants,
easements and restrictions of record, permits, the requirements of any
applicable fire insurance underwriter or rating bureau, and the
recommendations of Lessor's engineers and/or consultants, relating in any
manner to the Premises (including but not limited to matters pertaining to
(i) industrial hygiene, (ii) environmental conditions on, in, under or about
the Premises, including soil and groundwater conditions, and (iii) the use,
generation, manufacture, production, installation, maintenance, removal,
transportation, storage, spill, or release of any Hazardous Substance), now
in effect or which may hereafter come into effect. Lessee shall, within five
(5) days after receipt of Lessor's written request, provide Lessor with
copies of all documents and information, including but not limited to
permits, registrations, manifests, applications, reports and certificates,
evidencing Lessee's compliance with any Applicable Requirements specified by
Lessor, and shall immediately upon receipt, notify Lessor in writing (with
copies of any documents involved) of any threatened or actual claim, notice,
citation, warning, complaint or report pertaining to or involving failure by
Lessee or the Premises to comply with any Applicable Requirements.

       6.4     INSPECTION; COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Lessor, Lessor's agents,
employees, contractors and designated representatives, and the holders of any
mortgages, deeds of trust or ground leases on the Premises ("LENDERS") shall
have the right to enter the Premises at any time in the case of an emergency,
and otherwise at reasonable times, for the purpose of inspecting the
condition of the Premises and for verifying compliance by Lessee with this
Lease and all Applicable Requirements (as defined in Paragraph 6.3), and
Lessor shall be entitled to employ experts and/or consultants in connection
therewith to advise Lessor with respect to Lessee's activities, including but
not limited to Lessee's installation, operation, use, monitoring,
maintenance, or removal of any Hazardous Substance on or from the Premises.
The costs and expenses of any such inspections shall be paid by the party
requesting same, unless a Default or Breach of this Lease by Lessee or a
violation of Applicable Requirements or a contamination, caused or materially
contributed to by Lessee, is found to exist or to be imminent, or unless the
inspection is requested or ordered by a governmental authority as the result
of any such existing or imminent violation or contamination. In such case,
Lessee shall upon request reimburse Lessor or Lessor's Lender, as the case
may be, for the costs and expenses of such inspections.

7.     MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS, UTILITY INSTALLATIONS, TRADE FIXTURES AND
ALTERATIONS.

       7.1     LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS.

               (a)     Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 2.2 (Condition),
2.3 (Compliance with Covenants, Restrictions and Building Code), 7.2
(Lessor's Obligations), 9 (Damage or Destruction), and 14 (Condemnation),
Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole cost and expense and at all times, keep the
Premises and every part thereof in good order, condition and repair (whether
or not such portion of the Premises requiring repair, or the means of
repairing the same, are reasonably or readily accessible to Lessee, and
whether or not the need for such repairs occurs as a result of Lessee's use,
any prior use, the elements or the age of such portion of the Premises),
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all equipment or
facilities specifically serving the Premises, such as plumbing, heating, air
conditioning, ventilating, electrical, lighting facilities, boilers, fired or
unfired pressure vessels, fire hose connections if within the Premises,
fixtures, interior walls, interior surfaces of exterior walls, ceilings,
floors, windows, doors, plate glass, and skylights, but excluding any items
which are the responsibility of Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 7.2 below.
Lessee, in keeping the Premises in good order, condition and repair, shall
exercise and perform good maintenance practices. Lessee's obligations shall
include restorations, replacements or renewals when necessary to keep the
Premises and all improvements thereon or a part thereof in good order,
condition and state of repair.

               (c)     If Lessee fails to perform Lessee's obligations under
this Paragraph 7.1, Lessor may enter upon the Premises after ten (10) days'
prior written notice to Lessee (except in the case of an emergency, in which
case no notice shall be required), perform such obligations on Lessee's
behalf, and put the Premises in good order, condition and repair, in
accordance with Paragraph 13.2 below.

       7.2     LESSOR'S OBLIGATIONS. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs
2.2 (Condition), 2.3 (Compliance with Covenants, Restrictions and Building
Code), 4.2 (Common Area Operating Expenses), 6 (Use), 7.1 (Lessee's
Obligations), 9 (Damage or Destruction) and 14 (Condemnation), Lessor,
subject to reimbursement pursuant to Paragraph 4.2, shall keep in good order,
condition and repair, exterior roof, fire sprinkler and/or standpipe and hose
(if located in the Common Areas) or other automatic fire extinguishing system
including fire alarm and/or smoke

                                                                 -------------

detection systems and equipment, fire hydrants, parking lots, walkways,
parkways, driveways, landscaping, fences, signs and utility systems serving
the Common Areas and all parts thereof, as well as providing the services for
which there is a Common Area Operating Expense pursuant to Paragraph 4.2.
Lessor shall not be obligated to paint the interior surfaces of exterior
walls nor shall Lessor be obligated to maintain, repair or replace windows,
doors or plate glass of the Premises. Lessee expressly waives the benefit of
any statute now or hereafter in effect which would otherwise afford Lessee
the right to make repairs at Lessor's expense or to terminate this Lease
because of Lessor's failure to keep the Building, Industrial Center or Common
Areas in good order, condition and repair. *

       7.3     UTILITY INSTALLATIONS, TRADE FIXTURES, ALTERATIONS.

               (a)     DEFINITIONS; CONSENT REQUIRED. The term "UTILITY
INSTALLATIONS" is used in this Lease to refer to all air lines, power panels,
electrical distribution, security, fire protection systems, lighting
fixtures, heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment, plumbing, and
fencing in, on or about the Premises. The term "TRADE FIXTURES" shall mean
Lessee's machinery and equipment which can be removed without doing material
damage to the Premises. The term "ALTERATIONS" shall mean any modification of
the improvements on the Premises which are provided by Lessor under the terms
of this Lease, other than Utility Installations or Trade Fixtures.
"LESSEE-OWNED ALTERATIONS AND/OR UTILITY INSTALLATIONS" are defined as
Alterations and/or Utility Installations made by Lessee that are not yet
owned by Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 7.4(a). Lessee shall not make or cause
to be made any Alterations or Utility Installations in, on, under or about
the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent.  Lessee may, however,
make non-structural Utility Installations to the interior of the Premises
(excluding the roof) without Lessor's consent but upon notice to Lessor, so
long as they are not visible from the outside of the Premises, do not involve
puncturing, relocating or removing the roof or any existing walls, or
changing or interfering with the fire sprinkler or fire detection systems and
the cumulative cost thereof during the term of this Lease as extended does
not exceed $5,000.

               (b)     CONSENT. Any Alterations or Utility Installations that
Lessee shall desire to make and which require the consent of the Lessor shall
be presented to Lessor in written form with detailed plans. All consents
given by Lessor, whether by virtue of Paragraph 7.3(a) or by subsequent
specific consent, shall be deemed conditioned upon: (i) Lessee's acquiring
all applicable permits required by governmental authorities; (ii) the
furnishing of copies of such permits together with a copy of the plans and
specifications for the Alteration or Utility Installation to Lessor prior to
commencement of the work thereon; and (iii) the compliance by Lessee with all
conditions of said permits in a prompt and expeditious manner. Any
Alterations or Utility Installations by Lessee during the term of this Lease
shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner, with good and sufficient
materials, and be in compliance with all Applicable Requirements. Lessee
shall promptly upon completion thereof furnish Lessor with as-built plans and
specifications therefor. Lessor may, (but without obligation to do so)
condition its consent to any requested Alteration or Utility Installation
that costs $2,500.00 or more upon Lessee's providing Lessor with a lien and
completion bond in an amount equal to one and one-half times the estimated cost
of such Alteration or Utility Installation.

               (c)     LIEN PROTECTION. Lessee shall pay when due all claims
for labor or materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for
Lessee at or for use on the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by
any mechanic's or materialmen's lien against the Premises or any interest
therein. Lessee shall give Lessor not less than ten (10) days' notice prior
to the commencement of any work in, on, or about the Premises, and Lessor
shall have the right to post notices of non-responsibility in or on the
Premises as provided by law. If Lessee shall, in good faith, contest the
validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then Lessee shall, at its sole
expense, defend and protect itself, Lessor and the Premises against the same
and shall pay and satisfy any such adverse judgment that may be rendered
thereon before the enforcement thereof against the Lessor or the Premises. If
Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a surety bond
satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal to one and one-half times the
amount of such contested lien, claim or demand, indemnifying Lessor against
liability for the same, as required by law for the holding of the Premises
free from the effect of such lien or claim. In addition, Lessor may require
Lessee to pay Lessor's attorneys' fees and costs in participating in such
action if Lessor shall decide it is to its best interest to do so.

       7.4     OWNERSHIP, REMOVAL, SURRENDER, AND RESTORATION.

               (a)     OWNERSHIP. Subject to Lessor's right to require their
removal and to cause Lessee to become the owner thereof as hereinafter
provided in this Paragraph 7.4, all Alterations and Utility Installations
made to the Premises by Lessee shall be the property of and owned by Lessee,
but considered a part of the Premises. Lessor may, at any time and at its
option, elect in writing to Lessee to be the owner of all or any specified
part of the Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations. Unless
otherwise instructed per Subparagraph 7.4(b) hereof, all Lessee-Owned
Alterations and Utility Installations shall, at the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease, become the property of Lessor and remain upon the
Premises and be surrendered with the Premises by Lessee.

               (b)     REMOVAL. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Lessor
may require that any or all Lessee-Owned Alterations or Utility Installations
be removed by the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease,
notwithstanding that their installation may have been consented to by Lessor.
Lessor may require the removal at any time of all or any part of any
Alterations or Utility Installations made without the required consent of
Lessor.

               (c)     SURRENDER/RESTORATION. Lessee shall surrender the
Premises by the end of the last day of the Lease term or any earlier
termination date, clean and free of debris and in good operating order,
condition and state of repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Ordinary wear
and tear shall not include any damage or deterioration that would have been
prevented by good maintenance practice or by Lessee performing all of its
obligations under this Lease. Except as otherwise agreed or specified herein,
the Premises, as surrendered, shall include the Alterations and Utility
Installations. The obligation of Lessee shall include the repair of any
damage occasioned by the installation, maintenance or removal of Lessee's
Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and Lessee-Owned Alterations and
Utility Installations, as well as the removal of any storage tank installed
by or for Lessee, and the removal, replacement, or remediation of any soil,
material or ground water contaminated by Lessee, all as may then be required
by Applicable Requirements and/or good practice. Lessee's Trade Fixtures
shall remain the property of Lessee and shall be removed by Lessee subject to
its obligation to repair and restore the Premises per this Lease.

8.     INSURANCE; INDEMNITY.

       8.1     PAYMENT OF PREMIUM INCREASES.

               (a)     As used herein, the term "INSURANCE COST INCREASE" is
defined as any increase in the actual cost of the insurance applicable to the
Building and required to be carried by Lessor pursuant to paragraphs 8.2(b),
8.3(a) and 8.3(b), ("REQUIRED INSURANCE"), over and above the Base Premium,
as hereinafter defined, calculated on an annual basis. "Insurance Cost
Increase" shall include, but not be limited to, requirements of the holder of
a mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises, increased valuation of the
Premises, and/or a general premium rate increase. The term "Insurance Cost
Increase" shall not, however, include any premium increases resulting from
the nature of the occupancy of any other lessee of the Building. If the
parties insert a dollar amount in Paragraph 1.9, such amount shall be
considered the "BASE PREMIUM." If a dollar amount has not been inserted in
Paragraph 1.9 and if the Building has been previously occupied during the
twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Commencement Date, the
"Base Premium" shall be the annual premium applicable to such twelve (12)
month period. If the Building was not fully occupied during such twelve (12)
month period, the "Base Premium" shall be the lowest annual premium
reasonably obtainable for the Required Insurance as of the Commencement Date,
assuming the most nominal use possible of the Building. In no event, however,
shall Lessee be responsible for any portion of the premium cost attributable
to liability insurance coverage in excess of $1,000,000 procured under
Paragraph 8.2(b).

               (b)     Lessee shall pay any Insurance Cost Increase to Lessor
pursuant to Paragraph 4.2. Premiums for policy periods commencing prior to,
or extending beyond, the term of this Lease shall be prorated to coincide
with the corresponding Commencement Date or Expiration Date.

       8.2     LIABILITY INSURANCE.

               (a)     CARRIED BY LESSEE. Lessee shall obtain and keep in force
during the term of this Lease a Commercial General Liability policy of
insurance protecting Lessee, Lessor and any Lender(s) whose names have been
provided to Lessee in writing (as additional insureds) against claims for
bodily injury, personal injury and property damage based upon, involving or
arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises
and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be on an occurrence
basis providing single limit coverage in an amount not less than $1,000,000
per occurrence with an "Additional Insured-Managers or Lessors of Premises"
endorsement and contain the "Amendment to the Pollution Exclusion"
endorsement for damage caused by heat, smoke or fumes from a hostile fire.
The policy shall not contain any intra-insured exclusions as between insured
person or organizations, but shall include coverage for liability assumed
under this Lease as an "INSURED CONTRACT" for the performance of Lessee's
indemnity obligations under this Lease. The limits of said insurance required
by this Lease or as carried by Lessee shall not, however, limit the liability
of Lessee nor relieve Lessee of any obligation hereunder. All insurance to be
carried by Lessee shall be primary to and not contributory with any similar
insurance carried by Lessor, whose insurance shall be considered excess
insurance only.

               (b)     CARRIED BY LESSOR. Lessor shall also maintain liability
insurance described in Paragraph 8.2(a) above, in addition to and not in lieu
of, the insurance required to be maintained by Lessee. Lessee shall not be
named as an additional insured therein.

       8.3     PROPERTY INSURANCE-BUILDING, IMPROVEMENTS AND RENTAL VALUE.

               (a)     BUILDING AND IMPROVEMENTS. Lessor shall obtain and keep
in force during the term of this Lease a policy or policies in the name of
Lessor, with loss payable to Lessor and to any Lender(s), insuring against
loss or damage to the Premises. Such insurance shall be for full replacement
cost, as the same shall exist from time to time, or the amount required by
any Lender(s), but in no event more than the commercially reasonable and
available insurable value thereof if, by reason of the unique nature or age
of the improvements involved, such latter amount is less than full
replacement cost. Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, Trade
Fixtures and Lessee's personal property shall be insured by Lessee pursuant
to Paragraph 8.4. If the coverage is available and commercially appropriate,
Lessor's policy or policies shall insure against all risks of direct physical
loss or damage (except the perils of flood and/or earthquake unless required
by a Lender), including coverage for any additional costs resulting from
debris removal and reasonable amounts of coverage for the enforcement of any
ordinance or law regulating the reconstruction or replacement of any
undamaged sections of the Building required to be demolished or removed by
reason of the enforcement of any building, zoning, safety or land use laws as
the result of a covered loss, but not including plate glass insurance. Said
policy or policies shall also contain an agreed valuation provision in lieu
of any co-insurance clause, waiver of subrogation, and inflation guard
protection causing an increase in the annual property insurance coverage
amount by a factor of not less than the adjusted U.S. Department of Labor
Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the city nearest to where
the Premises are located.

               (b)     RENTAL VALUE. Lessor shall also obtain and keep in force
during the term of this Lease a policy or policies in the name of Lessor,
with loss payable to Lessor and any Lender(s), insuring the loss of the full
rental and other charges payable by all lessees of the Building to Lessor for
one year (including all Real Property Taxes, insurance costs, all Common Area
Operating Expenses and any scheduled rental increases). Said insurance may
provide that in the event the Lease is terminated by reason of an insured
loss, the period of indemnity for such coverage shall be extended beyond the
date of the completion of repairs or replacement of the Premises, to provide
for one full year's loss of rental revenues from the date of any such loss.
Said insurance shall contain an agreed valuation provision in lieu of any
co-insurance clause, and the amount of coverage shall be adjusted annually to
reflect the projected rental income, Real Property Taxes, insurance premium
costs and other expenses, if any, otherwise payable, for the next 12-month
period. Common Area Operating Expenses shall include any deductible amount in
the event of such loss.

               (c)     ADJACENT PREMISES. Lessee shall pay for any increase in
the premiums for the property insurance of the Building and for the Common
Areas or other buildings in the Industrial Center if said increase is caused
by Lessee's acts, omissions, use or occupancy of the Premises.

               (d)     LESSEE'S IMPROVEMENTS. Since Lessor is the Insuring
Party, Lessor shall not be required to insure Lessee-Owned Alterations and
Utility Installations unless the item in question has become the property of
Lessor under the terms of this Lease.

       8.4     LESSEE'S PROPERTY INSURANCE. Subject to the requirements of
Paragraph 8.5, Lessee at its cost shall either by separate policy or,
by endorsement to a policy already carried, maintain insurance coverage on all
of Lessee's personal property, Trade Fixtures and Lessee-Owned Alterations and
Utility Installations in, on, or about the Premises similar in coverage to
that carried by Lessor as the Insuring Party under Paragraph 8.3(a). Such
insurance shall be full replacement cost coverage with a deductible not to
exceed $2,500 per occurrence. The proceeds from any such insurance shall be
used by Lessee for the replacement of personal property and the restoration of
Trade Fixtures and Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations. Upon
request from Lessor, Lessee shall provide Lessor with written evidence that
such insurance is in force.

       8.5     INSURANCE POLICIES. Insurance required hereunder shall be in
companies duly licensed to transact business in the state where the Premises
are located, and maintaining during the policy term a "General Policyholders
Rating" of at least B+, V, or such other rating as may be required by a
Lender, as set forth in the most current issue of "Best's Insurance Guide."
Lessee shall not do or permit to be done anything which shall invalidate the
insurance policies referred to in this Paragraph 8. Lessee shall cause to be
delivered to Lessor, within seven (7) days after the earlier of the Early
Possession Date or the Commencement Date, certified copies of, or
certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of, the insurance required
under Paragraph 8.2(a) and 8.4.  No such policy shall be cancelable or
subject to modification except after thirty (30) days' prior written notice
to Lessor. Lessee shall at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of
such policies, furnish Lessor with evidence of renewals or "insurance
binders" evidencing renewal thereof, or Lessor may order such insurance and
charge the cost thereof to Lessee, which amount shall be payable by Lessee to
Lessor upon demand.

       8.6     WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Without affecting any other rights or
remedies, Lessee and Lessor each hereby release and relieve the other, and waive
their entire right to recover damages (whether in contract or in tort) against
the other, for loss or damage to their property arising out of or incident to
the perils required to be insured against under Paragraph 8.  The effect of such
releases and waivers of the right to recover damages shall not be limited by the
amount of insurance carried or required, or by any deductibles applicable
thereto.  Lessor and Lessee agree to have their respective insurance companies
issuing property damage insurance waive any right to subrogation that such
companies may have against Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, so long as the
insurance is not invalidated thereby.

       8.7     INDEMNITY. Except for Lessor's negligence and/or breach of
express warranties, Lessee shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless
the Premises, Lessor and its agents, Lessor's master or ground lessor, partners
and Lenders, from and against any and all claims, loss of rents and/or damages,
costs, liens, judgements, penalties, loss of permits, attorneys' and
consultants' fees, expenses and/or liabilities arising out of, involving, or in
connection with, the occupancy of the Premises by Lessee, the conduct of
Lessee's business, any act, omission or neglect of Lessee, its agents,
contractors, employees or invitees, and out of any Default or Breach by Lessee
in the performance in a timely manner of any obligation on Lessee's part to be
performed under this Lease.  The foregoing shall include, but not be limited to,
the defense or pursuit of any claim or any action or proceeding involved
therein, and whether or not (in the case of claims made against Lessor)
litigated and/or reduced to judgment.  In case any action or proceeding be
brought against Lessor by reason of any of the foregoing matters, Lessee upon
notice from Lessor shall defend the same at Lessee's expense by counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee in such
defense.  Lessor need not have first paid any such claim in order to be so
indemnified.

       8.8     EXEMPTION OF LESSOR FROM LIABILITY. Lessor shall not be liable
for injury or damage to the person or goods, wares, merchandise or other
property of Lessee, Lessee's employees, contractors, invitees, customers, or
any other person in or about the Premises, whether such damage or injury is
caused by or results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or
from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, fire
sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting
fixtures, or from any other cause, whether said injury or damage results from
conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the Building
of which the Premises are a part, from other sources or places, and
regardless of whether the cause of such damage or injury or the means of
repairing the same is accessible or not. Lessor shall not be liable for any
damages arising from any act or neglect of any other lessee of Lessor nor
from the failure by Lessor to enforce the provisions of any other lease in
the Industrial Center.  Notwithstanding Lessor's negligence or breach of this
Lease, Lessor shall under no circumstances be liable for injury to Lessee's
business or for any loss of income or profit therefrom.

9.     DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.

       9.1     DEFINITIONS.

               (a)     "PREMISES PARTIAL DAMAGE" shall mean damage or
destruction to the Premises, other than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, the repair cost of which damage or destruction is less than fifty
percent (50%) of the then Replacement Cost (as defined in Paragraph 9.1(d)) of
the Premises (excluding Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and
Trade Fixtures) immediately prior to such damage or destruction.

               (b)     "PREMISES TOTAL DESTRUCTION" shall mean damage or
destruction to the Premises, other than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, the repair cost of which damage or destruction is fifty
percent (50%) or more of the then Replacement Cost of the Premises (excluding
Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures)
immediately prior to such damage or destruction.  In addition, damage or
destruction to the Building, other than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations and Trade Fixtures of any lessees of the Building, the cost of
which damage or destruction is fifty percent (50%) or more of the then
Replacement Cost (excluding Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations
and Trade Fixtures of any lessees of the Building) of the Building shall, at the
option of Lessor, be deemed to be Premises Total Destruction.

               (c)     "INSURED LOSS" shall mean damage or destruction to the
Premises, other than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and
Trade Fixtures, which was caused by an event required to be covered by the
insurance described in Paragraph 8.3(a) irrespective of any deductible amounts
or coverage limits involved.

               (d)     "REPLACEMENT COST" shall mean the cost to repair or
rebuild the improvements owned by Lessor at the time of the occurrence to their
condition existing immediately prior thereto, including demolition, debris
removal and upgrading required by the operation of applicable building codes,
ordinances or laws, and without deduction for depreciation.

               (e)     "HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE CONDITION" shall mean the
occurrence or discovery of a condition involving the presence of, or a
contamination by, a Hazardous Substance as defined in Paragraph 6.2(a), in, on,
or under the Premises.

       9.2     PREMISES PARTIAL DAMAGE - INSURED LOSS. If Premises Partial
Damage that is an Insured Loss occurs, then Lessor shall, at Lessor's
expense, repair such damage (but not Lessee's Trade Fixtures or Lessee-Owned
Alterations and Utility Installations) as soon as reasonably possible and
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.  In the event, however,
that there is a shortage of insurance proceeds and such shortage is due to
the fact that, by reason of the unique nature of the improvements in the
Premises, full replacement cost insurance coverage was not commercially
reasonable and available, Lessor shall have no obligation to pay for the
shortage in insurance proceeds or to fully restore the unique aspects of the
Premises unless Lessee provides Lessor with the funds to cover same, or
adequate assurance thereof, within ten (10) days following receipt of written
notice of such shortage and request therefor.  If Lessor receives said funds
or adequate assurance thereof within said ten (10) day period, Lessor shall
complete them as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall remain in
full force and effect.  If Lessor does not receive such funds or assurance
within said period, Lessor may nevertheless elect by written notice to Lessee
within ten (10) days thereafter to make such restoration and repair as is
commercially reasonable with Lessor paying any shortage in proceeds, in which
case this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.  If Lessor does not
receive such funds or assurance within such ten (10) day period, and if
Lessor does not so elect to restore and repair, then this Lease shall
terminate sixty (60) days following the occurrence of the damage or
destruction.  Unless otherwise agreed, Lessee shall in no event have any
right to reimbursement from Lessor for any funds contributed by Lessee to
repair any such damage or destruction.  Premises Partial Damage due to flood
or earthquake shall be subject to Paragraph 9.3 rather than Paragraph 9.2,
notwithstanding that there may be some insurance coverage, but the net
proceeds of any such insurance shall be made available for the repairs if
made by either Party.

       9.3     PARTIAL DAMAGE - UNINSURED LOSS. If Premises Partial Damage
that is not an Insured Loss occurs, unless caused by a negligent or willful act
of Lessee (in which event Lessee shall make the repairs at Lessee's expense and
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect), Lessor may at Lessor's
option, either (i) repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible at Lessor's
expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or
(ii) give written notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days after receipt by
Lessor of knowledge of the occurrence of such damage of Lessor's desire to
terminate this Lease as of the date sixty (60) days following the date of such
notice.  In the event Lessor elects to give such notice of Lessor's intention to
terminate this Lease, Lessee shall have the right within ten (10) days after the
receipt of such notice to give written notice to Lessor of Lessee's commitment
to pay for the repair of such damage totally at Lessee's expense and without
reimbursement from Lessor.  Lessee shall provide Lessor with the required funds
or satisfactory assurance thereof within thirty (30) days following such
commitment from Lessee.  In such event this Lease shall continue in full force
and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make such repairs as soon as reasonably
possible after the required funds are available.  If Lessee does not give such
notice and provide the funds or assurance thereof within the times specified
above, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in Lessor's notice of
termination.

       9.4     TOTAL DESTRUCTION. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof,
if Premises Total Destruction occurs (including any destruction required by
any authorized public authority), this Lease shall terminate sixty (60) days
following the date of such Premises Total Destruction, whether or not the
damage or destruction is an Insured Loss or was caused by a negligent or
willful act of Lessee.  In the event, however, that the damage or destruction
was caused by Lessee, Lessor shall have the right to recover Lessor's damages
from Lessee except as released and waived in Paragraph 9.7.

       9.5     DAMAGE NEAR END OF TERM. If at any time during the last six (6)
months of the term of this Lease there is damage for which the cost to repair
exceeds one month's Base Rent, whether or not an Insured Loss, Lessor may, at
Lessor's option, terminate this Lease effective sixty (60) days following the
date of occurrence of such damage by giving written notice to Lessee of Lessor's
election to do so within thirty (30) days after the date of occurrence of such
damage.  Provided, however, if Lessee at that time has an exercisable option to
extend this Lease or to purchase the Premises, then Lessee may preserve this
Lease by (a) exercising such option, and (b) providing Lessor with any shortage
in insurance proceeds (or adequate assurance thereof) needed to make the
repairs on or before the earlier of (i) the date which is ten (10) days after
Lessee's receipt of Lessor's written notice purporting to terminate this Lease,
or (ii) the day prior to the date upon which such option expires.  If Lessee
duly exercises such option during such period and provides Lessor with funds (or
adequate assurance thereof) to cover any shortage in insurance proceeds, Lessor
shall, at Lessor's expense repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible and
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.  If Lessee fails to exercise
such option and provide such funds or assurance during such period, then this
Lease shall terminate as of the date set forth in the first sentence of this
Paragraph 9.5.

       9.6     ABATEMENT OF RENT; LESSEE'S REMEDIES.

               (a)     In the event of (i) Premises Partial Damage or (ii)
Hazardous Substance Condition for which Lessee is not legally responsible,
the Base Rent, Common Area Operating Expenses and other charges, if any,
payable by Lessee hereunder for the period during which such damage or
condition, its repair, remediation or restoration continues, shall be abated
in proportion to the degree to which Lessee's use of the Premises is
impaired, but not in excess of proceeds from insurance required to be carried
under Paragraph 8.3(b). Except for abatement of Base Rent, Common Area
Operation Expenses and other charges, if any, as aforesaid, all other
obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be performed by Lessee, and Lessee
shall have no claim against Lessor for any damage suffered by reason of any
such damage, destruction, repair, remediation or restoration.

                                                                 -------------

                                                                 -------------

               (b)     If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the
Premises under the provisions of this Paragraph 9 and shall not commence, in
a substantial and meaningful way, the repair or restoration of the Premises
within ninety (90) days after such obligation shall accrue, Lessee may, at
any time prior to the commencement of such repair or restoration, give
written notice to Lessor and to any Lenders of which Lessee has actual notice
of Lessee's election to terminate this Lease on a date not less than sixty
(60) days following the giving of such notice.  If Lessee gives such notice
to Lessor and such Lenders and such repair or restoration is not commenced
within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, this Lease shall
terminate as of the date specified in said notice.  If Lessor or a Lender
commences the repair or restoration of the Premises within thirty (30) days
after the receipt of such notice, this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect.  "COMMENCE" as used in this Paragraph 9.6 shall mean either the
unconditional authorization of the preparation of the required plans, or the
beginning of the actual work on the Premises, whichever occurs first.

       9.7     HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE CONDITIONS. If a Hazardous Substance
Condition occurs, unless Lessee is legally responsible therefor (in which
case Lessee shall make the investigation and remediation thereof required by
Applicable Requirements and this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect, but subject to Lessor's rights under Paragraph 6.2(c) and Paragraph
13), Lessor may at Lessor's option either (i) investigate and remediate such
Hazardous Substance Condition, if required, as soon as reasonably possible at
Lessor's expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect, or (ii) if the estimated cost to investigate and remediate such
condition exceeds twelve (12) times the then monthly Base Rent or $100,000
whichever is greater, give written notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days
after receipt by Lessor of knowledge of the occurrence of such Hazardous
Substance Condition of Lessor's desire to terminate this Lease as of the date
sixty (60) days following the date of such notice.  In the event Lessor
elects to give such notice of Lessor's intention to terminate this Lease,
Lessee shall have the right within ten (10) days after the receipt of such
notice to give written notice to Lessor of Lessee's commitment to pay for the
excess costs of (a) investigation and remediation of such Hazardous Substance
Condition to the extent required by Applicable Requirements, over (b) an
amount equal to twelve (12) times the then monthly Base Rent or $100,000,
whichever is greater.  Lessee shall provide Lessor with the funds required of
Lessee or satisfactory assurance thereof within thirty (30) days following
said commitment by Lessee.  In such event this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make such investigation and
remediation as soon as reasonably possible after the required funds are
available.  If Lessee does not give such notice and provide the required
funds or assurance thereof within the time period specified above, this Lease
shall terminate as of the date specified in Lessor's notice of termination.

       9.8     TERMINATION - ADVANCE PAYMENTS. Upon termination of this Lease
pursuant to this Paragraph 9, Lessor shall return to Lessee any advance payment
made by Lessee to Lessor and so much of Lessee's Security Deposit as has not
been, or is not then required to be, used by Lessor under the terms of this
Lease.

       9.9     WAIVER OF STATUTES. Lessor and Lessee agree that the terms of
this Lease shall govern the effect of any damage to or destruction of the
Premises and the Building with respect to the termination of this Lease and
hereby waive the provisions of any present or future statute to the extent it is
inconsistent herewith.

10.    REAL PROPERTY TAXES.

       10.1    PAYMENT OF TAXES. Lessor shall pay the Real Property Taxes, as
defined in Paragraph 10.2(a), applicable to the Industrial Center, and except
as otherwise provided in Paragraph 10.3, any increases in such amounts over
the Base Real Property Taxes shall be included in the calculation of Common
Area Operating Expenses in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 4.2.

       10.2  REAL PROPERTY TAX DEFINITIONS.

             (a)     As used herein, the term "REAL PROPERTY TAXES" shall
include any form of real estate tax or assessment, general, special, ordinary
or extraordinary, and any license fee, commercial rental tax, improvement
bond or bonds, levy or tax (other than inheritance, personal income or estate
taxes) imposed upon the Industrial Center by any authority having the direct
or indirect power to tax, including any city, state or federal government, or
any school, agricultural, sanitary, fire, street, drainage, or other
improvement district thereof, levied against any legal or equitable interest
of Lessor in the Industrial Center or any portion thereof, Lessor's right to
rent or other income therefrom, and/or Lessor's business of leasing the
Premises.  The term "REAL PROPERTY TAXES" shall also include any tax, fee,
levy, assessment or charge, or any increase therein, imposed by reason of
events occurring, or changes in Applicable Law taking effect, during the term
of this Lease, including but not limited to a change in the ownership of the
Industrial Center or in the improvements thereon, the execution of this
Lease, or any modification, amendment or transfer thereof, and whether or not
contemplated by the Parties.

             (b)     As used herein, the term "BASE REAL PROPERTY TAXES"
shall be the amount of Real Property Taxes, which are assessed against the
Premises, Building or Common Areas in the calendar year during which the
Lease is executed. In calculating Real Property Taxes for any calendar year,
the Real Property Taxes for any real estate tax year shall be included in the
calculation of Real Property Taxes for such calendar year based upon the
number of days which such calendar year and tax year have in common.

       10.3    ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS. Common Area Operating Expenses shall
not include Real Property Taxes specified in the tax assessor's records and work
sheets as being caused by additional improvements placed upon the Industrial
Center by other lessees or by Lessor for the exclusive enjoyment of such other
lessees.  Notwithstanding Paragraph 10.1 hereof, Lessee shall, however, pay to
Lessor at the time Common Area Operating Expenses are payable under Paragraph
4.2, the entirety of any increase in Real Property Taxes if assessed solely by
reason of Alterations, Trade Fixtures or Utility Installations placed upon the
Premises by Lessee or at Lessee's request.

       10.4    JOINT ASSESSMENT. If the Building is not separately assessed,
Real Property Taxes allocated to the Building shall be an equitable proportion
of the Real Property Taxes for all of the land and improvements included within
the tax parcel assessed, such proportion to be determined by Lessor from the
respective valuations assigned in the assessor's work sheets or such other
information as may be reasonably available.  Lessor's reasonable determination
thereof, in good faith, shall be conclusive.

       10.5    LESSEE'S PROPERTY TAXES. Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency
all taxes assessed against and levied upon Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all personal property
of Lessee contained in the Premises or stored within the Industrial Center.
When possible, Lessee shall cause its Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal
property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of Lessor.
If any of Lessee's said property shall be assessed with Lessor's real property,
Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes attributable to Lessee's property within ten
(10) days after receipt of a written statement setting forth the taxes
applicable to Lessee's property.

11.    UTILITIES. Lessee shall pay directly for all utilities and services
supplied to the Premises, including but not limited to electricity, telephone,
security, gas and cleaning of the Premises, together with any taxes thereon.  If
any such utilities or services are not separately metered to the Premises or
separately billed to the Premises, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a reasonable
proportion to be determined by Lessor of all such charges jointly metered or
billed with other premises in the Building, in the manner and within the time
periods set forth in Paragraph 4.2(d).

12.    ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

       12.1    LESSOR'S CONSENT REQUIRED.

               (a)     Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law
assign, transfer, mortgage or otherwise transfer or encumber (collectively,
"assign") or sublet all or any part of Lessee's interest in this Lease or in the
Premises without Lessor's prior written consent given under and subject to the
terms of Paragraph 36. *

               (b)     A change in the control of Lessee shall constitute an
assignment requiring Lessor's consent.  The transfer, on a cumulative basis, of
thirty-five percent (35%) or more of the voting control of Lessee shall
constitute a change in control for this purpose.

               (c)     The involvement of Lessee or its assets in any
transaction, or series of transactions (by way of merger, sale, acquisition,
financing, refinancing, transfer, leveraged buy-out or otherwise), whether or
not a formal assignment or hypothecation of this Lease or Lessee's assets
occurs, which results or will result in a reduction of the Net Worth of
Lessee, as hereinafter defined, by an amount equal to or greater than
twenty-five percent (25%) of such Net Worth of Lessee as it was represented
to Lessor at the time of full execution and delivery of this Lease or at the
time of the most recent assignment to which Lessor has consented, or as it
exists immediately prior to said transaction or transactions constituting
such reduction, at whichever time said Net Worth of Lessee was or is greater,
shall be considered an assignment of this Lease by Lessee to which Lessor may
reasonably withhold its consent.  "NET WORTH OF LESSEE" for purposes of this
Lease shall be the net worth of Lessee (excluding any Guarantors) established
under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.

               (d)     An assignment or subletting of Lessee's interest in
this Lease without Lessor's specific prior written consent shall, at Lessor's
option, be a Default curable after notice per Paragraph 13.1, or a
non-curable Breach without the necessity of any notice and grace period.  If
Lessor elects to treat such unconsented to assignment or subletting as a
non-curable Breach, Lessor shall have the right to either: (i) terminate this
Lease, or (ii) upon thirty (30) days' written notice ("LESSOR'S NOTICE"),
increase the monthly Base Rent for the Premises to the greater of the then
fair market rental value of the Premises, as reasonably determined by Lessor,
or one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Base Rent then in effect.  Pending
determination of the new fair market rental value, if disputed by Lessee,
Lessee shall pay the amount set forth in Lessor's Notice, with any
overpayment credited against the next installment(s) of Base Rent coming due,
and any underpayment for the period retroactively to the effective date of
the adjustment being due and payable immediately upon the determination
thereof. Further, in the event of such Breach and rental adjustment, (i) the
purchase price of any option to purchase the Premises held by Lessee shall be
subject to similar adjustment to the then fair market value as reasonably
determined by Lessor (without the Lease being considered an encumbrance or
any deduction for depreciation or obsolescence, and considering the Premises
at its highest and best use and in good condition) or one hundred ten percent
(110%) of the price previously in effect, (ii) any index-oriented rental or
price adjustment formulas contained in this Lease shall be adjusted to
require that the base index be determined with reference to the index
applicable to the time of such adjustment, and (iii) any fixed rental
adjustments scheduled during the remainder of the Lease term shall be
increased in the same ratio as the new rental bears to the Base Rent in
effect immediately prior to the adjustment specified in Lessor's Notice.

               (e)     Lessee's remedy for any breach of this Paragraph 12.1 by
Lessor shall be limited to compensatory damages and/or injunctive relief.

       12.2    TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

               (a)     Regardless of Lessor's consent, any assignment or
subletting shall not (i) be effective without the express written assumption by
such assignee or sublessee of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease, (ii)
release Lessee of any obligations hereunder, nor (iii) alter the primary
liability of Lessee for the payment of Base Rent and other sums due Lessor
hereunder or for the performance of any other obligations to be performed by
Lessee under this Lease.

               (b)     Lessor may accept any rent or performance of Lessee's
obligations from any person other than Lessee pending approval or disapproval
of an assignment.  Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such
assignment nor the acceptance of any rent for performance shall constitute a
waiver of estoppel of Lessor's right to exercise its remedies for the Default
or Breach by Lessee of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this
Lease.

               (c)     The consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting
shall not constitute a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting by
Lessee or to any subsequent or successive assignment or subletting by the
assignee or sublessee.  However, Lessor may consent to subsequent sublettings
and assignments of the sublease or any amendments or modifications thereto
without notifying Lessee or anyone else liable under this Lease or the sublease
and without obtaining their consent, and such action shall not relieve such
persons from liability under this Lease or the sublease.

               (d)     In the event of any Default or Breach of Lessee's
obligation under this Lease, Lessor may proceed directly against Lessee, any
Guarantors or anyone else responsible for the performance of the Lessee's
obligations under this Lease, including any sublessee, without first exhausting
Lessor's remedies against any other person or entity responsible therefor to
Lessor, or any security held by Lessor.

               (e)     Each request for consent to an assignment or
subletting shall be in writing, accompanied by information relevant to
Lessor's determination as to the financial and operational responsibility and
appropriateness of the proposed assignee or sublessee, including but not
limited to the intended use and/or required modification of the Premises, if
any, together with a non-refundable deposit of $1,000 or ten percent (10%) of
the monthly Base Rent applicable to the portion of the Premises which is the
subject of the proposed assignment or sublease, whichever is less, as
reimbursement for actual costs incurred by Lessor to include Lessor's time
processing the request for consent. Lessee agrees to provide Lessor with such
other or additional information and/or documentation as may be reasonably
requested by Lessor.

               (f)     Any assignee of, or sublessee under, this Lease
shall, by reason of accepting such assignment or entering into such sublease,
be deemed, for the benefit of Lessor, to have assumed and agreed to conform
and comply with each and every term, covenant, condition and obligation
herein to be observed or performed by Lessee during the term of said
assignment or sublease, other than such obligations as are contrary to or
inconsistent with provisions of an assignment or sublease to which Lessor has
specifically consented in writing.

               (g)     The occurrence of a transaction described in
Paragraph 12.2(c) shall give Lessor the right (but not the obligation) to
require that the Security Deposit be increased by an amount equal to six (6)
times the then monthly Base Rent, and Lessor may make the actual receipt by
Lessor of the Security Deposit increase a condition to Lessor's consent to
such transaction.

       12.3    ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO SUBLETTING. The
following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Lessee of all
or any part of the Premises and shall be deemed included in all subleases
under this Lease whether or not expressly incorporated therein:

               (a)     Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of
Lessee's interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease of all
or a portion of the Premises heretofore or hereafter made by Lessee, and
Lessor may collect such rent and income and apply same toward Lessee's
obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that until a Breach (as
defined in Paragraph 13.1) shall occur in the performance of Lessee's
obligations under this Lease, Lessee may, except as otherwise provided in
this Lease, receive, collect and enjoy the rents accruing under such
sublease. Lessor shall not, by reason of the foregoing provision or any other
assignment of such sublease to Lessor, nor by reason of the collection of the
rents from a sublessee, be deemed liable to the sublessee for any failure of
Lessee to perform and comply with any of Lessee's obligations to such
sublessee under such Sublease. Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes and
directs any such sublessee, upon receipt of a written notice from Lessor
stating that a Breach exists in the performance of Lessee's obligations under
this Lease, to pay to Lessor the rents and other charges due and to become
due under the sublease. Sublessee shall rely upon any such statement and
request from Lessor and shall pay such rents and other charges to Lessor
without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such Breach exists
and notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Lessee to the contrary.
Lessee shall have no right of claim against such sublessee, or, until the
Breach has been cured, against Lessor, for any such rents and other charges
so paid by said sublessee to Lessor.*

               (b)     In the event of a Breach by Lessee in the performance
of its obligations under this Lease, Lessor, at its option and without any
obligation to do so, may require any sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which
event Lessor shall undertake the obligations of the sublessor under such
sublease from the time of the exercise of said option to the expiration of
such sublease; provided, however, Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid
rents or security deposit paid by such sublessee to such sublessor or for any
other prior defaults or breaches of such sublessor under such sublease.

               (c)     Any matter or thing requiring the consent of the
sublessor under a sublease shall also require the consent of Lessor herein.

               (d)     No sublessee under a sublease approved by Lessor shall
further assign or sublet all or any part of the Premises without Lessor's
prior written consent.

               (e)     Lessor shall deliver a copy of any notice of Default
or Breach by Lessee to the sublessee, who shall have the right to cure the
Default of Lessee within the grace period, if any, specified in such notice.
The sublessee shall have a right of reimbursement and offset from and against
Lessee for any such Defaults cured by the sublessee.

13.    DEFAULT; BREACH; REMEDIES.

       13.1    DEFAULT; BREACH. Lessor and Lessee agree that if an attorney
is consulted by Lessor in connection with a Lessee Default or Breach (as
hereinafter defined), $350.00 is a reasonable minimum sum per such occurrence
for legal services and costs in the preparation and service of a notice of
Default, and that Lessor may include the cost of such services and costs in
said notice as rent due and payable to cure said default. A "DEFAULT" by
Lessee is defined as a failure by Lessee to observe, comply with or perform
any of the terms, covenants, conditions or rules applicable to Lessee under
this Lease. A "BREACH" by Lessee is defined as the occurrence of any one or
more of the following Defaults, and, where a grace period for cure after
notice is specified herein, the failure by Lessee to cure such Default prior
to the expiration of the applicable grace period, and shall entitle Lessor to
pursue the remedies set forth in Paragraphs 13.2 and/or 13.3:

               (a)     The vacating of the Premises without the intention to
reoccupy same, or the abandonment of the Premises.

               (b)     Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease,
the failure by Lessee to make any payment of Base Rent, Lessee's Share of
Common Area Operating Expenses, or any other monetary payment required to be
made by Lessee hereunder as and when due, the failure by Lessee to provide
Lessor with reasonable evidence of insurance or surety bond required under
this Lease, or the failure of Lessee to fulfill any obligation under this
Lease which endangers or threatens life or property, where such failure
continues for a period of three (3) days following written notice thereof by
or on behalf of Lessor to Lessee.

               (c)     Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease,
the failure by Lessee to provide Lessor with reasonable written evidence (in
duly executed original form, if applicable) of (i) compliance with Applicable
Requirements per Paragraph 6.3, (ii) the inspection, maintenance and service
contracts required under Paragraph 7.1(b), (iii) the rescission of an
unauthorized assignment or subletting per Paragraph 12.1, (iv) a Tenancy
Statement per Paragraphs 16 or 37, (v) the subordination or non-subordination
of this Lease per Paragraph 30, (vi) the guaranty of the performance of
Lessee's obligations under this Lease if required under Paragraphs 1.11 and
37, (vii) the execution of any document requested under Paragraph 42
(easements), or (viii) any other documentation or information which Lessor
may reasonably require of Lessee under the terms of this lease, where any
such failure continues for a period of ten (10) days following written notice
by or on behalf of Lessor to Lessee.

               (d)     A Default by Lessee as to the terms, covenants,
conditions or provisions of this Lease, or of the rules adopted under
Paragraph 40 hereof that are to be observed, complied with or performed by
Lessee, other than those described in Subparagraphs 13.1(a), (b) or (c),
above, where such Default continues for a period of thirty (30) days after
written notice thereof by or on behalf of Lessor to Lessee; provided,
however, that if the nature of Lessee's Default is such that more than thirty
(30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then it shall not be deemed
to be a Breach of this Lease by Lessee if Lessee commences such cure within
said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to
completion.

               (e)     The occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the
making by Lessee of any general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of
creditors; (ii) Lessee's becoming a "debtor" as defined in 11 U.S. Code
Section 101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a
petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days);
(iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of
substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's
interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Lessee within
thirty (30) days; or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure
of substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's
interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty
(30) days; provided, however, in the event that any provision of this
Subparagraph 13.1(e) is contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall
be of no force or effect, and shall not affect the validity of the remaining
provisions.

               (f)     The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement
of Lessee or of any Guarantor, given to Lessor by Lessee or any Guarantor,
was materially false.

               (g)     If the performance of Lessee's obligations under this
Lease is guaranteed: (i) the death of a Guarantor, (ii) the termination of a
Guarantor's liability with respect to this Lease other than in accordance
with the terms of such guaranty, (iii) a Guarantor's becoming insolvent or
the subject of a bankruptcy filing, (iv) a Guarantor's refusal to honor the
guaranty, or (v) a Guarantor's breach of its guaranty obligation on an
anticipatory breach basis, and Lessee's failure, within sixty (60) days
following written notice by or on behalf of Lessor to Lessee of any such
event, to provide Lessor with written alternative assurances of security,
which, when coupled with the then existing resources of Lessee, equals or
exceeds the combined financial resources of Lessee and the Guarantors that
existed at the time of execution of this Lease.

       13.2    REMEDIES. If Lessee fails to perform any affirmative duty or
obligation of Lessee under this Lease, within ten (10) days after written
notice to Lessee (or in case of an emergency, without notice), Lessor may at
its option (but without obligation to do so), perform such duty or obligation
on Lessee's behalf, including but not limited to the obtaining of reasonably
required bonds, insurance policies, or governmental licenses, permits or
approvals. The costs and expenses of any such performance by Lessor shall be
due and payable by Lessee to Lessor upon invoice therefor. If any check given
to Lessor by Lessee shall not be honored by the bank upon which it is drawn,
Lessor, at its own option, may require all future payments to be made under
this Lease by Lessee to be made only by cashier's check. In the event of a
Breach of this Lease by Lessee (as defined in Paragraph 13.1), with or
without further notice or demand, and without limiting Lessor in the exercise
of any right or remedy which Lessor may have by reason of such Breach, Lessor
may:

               (a)     Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises
by any lawful means, in which case this Lease and the term hereof shall
terminate and Lessee shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises
to Lessor. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee: (i)
the worth at the time of the award of the unpaid rent which had been earned
at the time of termination; (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount
by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until
the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee
proves could have been reasonably avoided; (iii) the worth at the time of
award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term
after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the
Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount
necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by
the Lessee's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in
the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including
but not limited to the cost of recovering possession of the Premises,
expenses of reletting, including necessary renovation and alteration of the
Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees and that portion of any leasing
commission paid by Lessor in connection with this Lease applicable to the
unexpired term of this Lease. The worth at the time of award of the amount
referred to in provision (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be
computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal
Reserve Bank of San Francisco or the Federal Reserve Bank District in which
the Premises are located at the time of award plus one percent (1%). Efforts
by Lessor to mitigate damages caused by Lessee's Default or Breach of this
Lease shall not waive Lessor's right to recover damages under this Paragraph
13.2. If termination of this Lease is obtained through the provisional remedy
of unlawful detainer, Lessor shall have the right to recover in such
pro-

ceeding the unpaid rent and damages as are recoverable therein, or Lessor
may reserve the right to recover all or any part thereof in a separate suit
for such rent and/or damages. If a notice and grace period required under
Subparagraph 13.1(b), (c) or (d) was not previously given a notice to pay
rent or quit, or to perform or quit, as the case may be, given to Lessee
under any statute authorizing the forfeiture of leases for unlawful detainer
shall also constitute the applicable notice for grace period purposes
required by Subparagraph 13.1(b), (c) or (d). In such case, the applicable
grace period under the unlawful detainer statute shall run concurrently after
the one such statutory notice, and the failure of Lessee to cure the Default
within the greater of the two (2) such grace periods shall constitute both an
unlawful detainer and a Breach of this Lease entitling Lessor to the remedies
provided for in this Lease and/or by said statute.

               (b)     Continue the Lease and Lessee's right to possession in
effect (in California under California Civil Code Section 1951.4) after
Lessee's Breach and recover the rent as it becomes due, provided Lessee has
the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations. Lessor
and Lessee agree that the limitations on assignment and subletting in this
Lease are reasonable. Acts of maintenance or preservation, efforts to relet
the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver to protect the Lessor's
interest under this Lease, shall not constitute a termination of the Lessee's
right to possession.

               (c)     Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to
Lessor under the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises
are located.

               (d)     The expiration or termination of this Lease and/or the
termination of Lessee's right to possession shall not relieve Lessee from
liability under any indemnity provisions of this Lease as to matters
occurring or accruing during the term hereof or by reason of Lessee's
occupancy of the Premises.

       13.3    INDUCEMENT RECAPTURE IN EVENT OF BREACH. Any agreement by
Lessor for free or abated rent or other charges applicable to the Premises,
or for the giving or paying by Lessor to or for Lessee of any cash or other
bonus, inducement or consideration for Lessee's entering into this Lease, all
of which concessions are hereinafter referred to as "INDUCEMENT PROVISIONS"
shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessee's full and faithful performance of
all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed or
observed by Lessee during the term hereof as the same may be extended. Upon
the occurrence of a Breach (as defined in Paragraph 13.1) of this Lease by
Lessee, any such Inducement Provision shall automatically be deemed deleted
from this Lease and of no further force or effect, and any rent, other charge,
bonus, inducement or consideration theretofore abated, given or paid by
Lessor under such an Inducement Provision shall be immediately due and
payable by Lessee to Lessor, and recoverable by Lessor, as additional rent due
under this Lease, notwithstanding any subsequent cure of said Breach by
Lessee. The acceptance by Lessor of rent or the cure of the Breach which
initiated the operation of this Paragraph 13.3 shall not be deemed a waiver
by Lessor of the provisions of this Paragraph 13.3 unless specifically so
stated in writing by Lessor at the time of such acceptance.

       13.4    LATE CHARGES. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by
Lessee to Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to
incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be
extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to,
processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon
Lessor by the terms of any ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust covering
the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or other sum due from
Lessee shall not be received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10)
days after such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice
to Lessee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to six percent (6%)
of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge
represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by
reason of late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor
shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's Default or Breach with
respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from exercising any of the
other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In the event that a late charge
is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for three (3) consecutive
installments of Base Rent, then notwithstanding Paragraph 4.1 or any other
provision of this Lease to the contrary, Base Rent shall, at Lessor's option,
become due and payable quarterly in advance.

       13.5    BREACH BY LESSOR. Lessor shall not be deemed in breach of this
Lease unless Lessor fails within a reasonable time to perform an obligation
required to be performed by Lessor. For purposes of this Paragraph 13.5, a
reasonable time shall in no event be less than thirty (30) days after receipt
by Lessor, and by any Lender(s) whose name and address shall have been
furnished to Lessee in writing for such purpose, of written notice specifying
wherein such obligation of Lessor has not been performed; provided, however,
that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is such that more than thirty (30)
days after such notice are reasonably required for its performance, then
Lessor shall not be in breach of this Lease if performance is commenced
within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursued to
completion.

14.    CONDEMNATION. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under
the power of eminent domain or sold under the threat of the exercise of said
power (all of which are herein called "condemnation"), this Lease shall
terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority
takes title or possession, whichever first occurs. If more than ten percent
(10%) of the floor area of the Premises, or more than twenty-five percent
(25%) of the portion of the Common Areas designated for Lessee's parking, is
taken by condemnation, Lessee may, at Lessee's option, to be exercised in
writing within ten (10) days after Lessor shall have given Lessee written
notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within ten (10) days
after the condemning authority shall have taken possession) terminate this
Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes such possession. If
Lessee does not terminate this Lease in accordance with the foregoing, this
Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises
remaining, except that the Base Rent shall be reduced in the same proportion
as the rentable floor area of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable
floor area of the Premises. No reduction of Base Rent shall occur if the
condemnation does not apply to any portion of the Premises. Any award for the
taking of all or any part of the Premises under the power of eminent domain
or any payment made under threat of the exercise of such power shall be the
property of Lessor, whether such award shall be made as compensation for
diminution of value of the leasehold or for the taking of the fee, or as
severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any
compensation, separately awarded to Lessee for Lessee's relocation expenses
and/or loss of Lessee's Trade Fixtures. In the event that this Lease is not
terminated by reason of such condemnation, Lessor shall to the extent of its
net severance damages received, over and above Lessee's Share of the legal
and other expenses incurred by Lessor in the condemnation matter, repair any
damage to the Premises caused by such condemnation authority. Lessee shall be
responsible for the payment of any amount in excess of such net severance
damages required to complete such repair.

15.    BROKERS' FEES.

       15.1    PROCURING CAUSE. The Broker(s) named in Paragraph 1.10 is/are
the procuring cause of this Lease.

       15.2    ADDITIONAL TERMS. Unless Lessor and Broker(s) have otherwise
agreed in writing, Lessor agrees that: (a) if Lessee exercises any Option (as
defined in Paragraph 39.1) granted under this Lease or any Option
subsequently granted, or (b) if Lessee acquires any rights to the Premises or
other premises in which Lessor has an interest, or (c) if Lessee remains in
possession of the Premises with the consent of Lessor after the expiration of
the term of this Lease after having failed to exercise an Option, or (d) if
said Brokers are the procuring cause of any other lease or sale entered into
between the Parties pertaining to the Premises and/or any adjacent property
in which Lessor has an interest, or (e) if Base Rent is increased, whether by
agreement or operation of an escalation clause herein, then as to any of said
transactions, Lessor shall pay said Broker(s) a fee in accordance with the
schedule of said Broker(s) in effect at the time of the execution of this
Lease.

       15.3    ASSUMPTION OF OBLIGATIONS. Any buyer or transferee of Lessor's
interest in this Lease, whether such transfer is by agreement or by operation
of law, shall be deemed to have assumed Lessor's obligation under this
Paragraph 15. Each Broker shall be an intended third party beneficiary of the
provisions of Paragraph 1.10 and of this Paragraph 15 to the extent of its
interest in any commission arising from this Lease and may enforce that right
directly against Lessor and its successors.

       15.4    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Lessee and Lessor each
represent and warrant to the other that is has had no dealings with any
person, firm, broker or finder other than as named in Paragraph 1.10(a) in
connection with the negotiation of this Lease and/or the consummation of the
transaction contemplated hereby, and that no broker or other person, firm or
entity other than said named Broker(s) is entitled to any commission or
finder's fee in connection with said transaction. Lessee and Lessor do each
hereby agree to indemnify, protect, defend and hold the other harmless from
and against liability for compensation or charges which may be claimed by any
such unnamed broker, finder or other similar party by reason of any dealings
or actions of the indemnifying Party, including any costs, expenses, and/or
attorneys' fees reasonably incurred with respect thereto.*

16.    TENANCY AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

       16.1    TENANCY STATEMENT. Each Party (as "RESPONDING PARTY") shall
within ten (10) days after written notice from the other Party (the
"REQUESTING PARTY") execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Requesting Party a
statement in writing in a form similar to the then most current "TENANCY
STATEMENT" form published by the American Industrial Real Estate Association,
plus such additional information, confirmation and/or statements as may be
reasonably requested by the Requesting Party.

       16.2    FINANCIAL STATEMENT. If Lessor desires to finance, refinance,
or sell the Premises or the Building, or any part thereof, Lessee and all
Guarantors shall deliver to any potential lender or purchaser designated by
Lessor such financial statements of Lessee and such Guarantors as may be
reasonably required by such lender or purchaser, including but not limited to
Lessee's financial statements for the past three (3) years. All such
financial statements shall be received by Lessor and such lender or purchaser
in confidence and shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth.

17.    LESSOR'S LIABILITY. The term "LESSOR" as used herein shall mean the
owner or owners at the time in question of the fee title to the Premises. In
the event of a transfer of Lessor's title or interest in the Premises or in
this Lease, Lessor shall deliver to the transferee or assignee (in cash or by
credit) any unused Security Deposit held by Lessor at the time of such
transfer or assignment. Except as provided in Paragraph 15.3, upon such
transfer or assignment and delivery of the Security Deposit, as aforesaid,
the prior Lessor shall be relieved of all liability with respect to the
obligations and/or covenants under this Lease thereafter to be performed by
the Lessor. Subject to the foregoing, the obligations and/or covenants in
this Lease to be performed by the Lessor shall be binding only upon the
Lessor as hereinabove defined.

18.    SEVERABILITY. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease, as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the
validity of any other provision hereof.

19.    INTEREST ON PAST-DUE OBLIGATIONS. Any monetary payment due Lessor
hereunder, other than late charges, not received by Lessor within ten (10)
days following the date on which it was due, shall bear interest from the
date due at the prime rate charged by the largest state chartered bank in the
state in which the Premises are located plus four percent (4%) per annum, but
not exceeding the maximum rate allowed by law, in addition to the potential
late charge provided for in Paragraph 13.4.

20.    TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to the
performance of all obligations to be performed or observed by the Parties
under this Lease.

21.    RENT DEFINED. All monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the
terms of this Lease are deemed to be rent.

22.    NO PRIOR OR OTHER AGREEMENTS; BROKER DISCLAIMER. This Lease contains
all agreements between the Parties with respect to any matter mentioned
herein, and no other prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding
shall be effective. Lessor and Lessee each represents and warrants to the
Brokers that it has made, and is relying solely upon, its own investigation
as to the nature, quality, character and financial responsibility of the
other Party to this Lease and as to the nature, quality and character of the
Premises. Brokers have no responsibility with respect thereto or with respect
to any default or breach hereof by either Party. Each Broker shall be an
intended third party beneficiary of the provisions of this Paragraph 22.

23.    NOTICES.

       23.1    NOTICE REQUIREMENTS. All notices required or permitted by this
Lease shall be in writing and may be delivered in person (by hand or by
messenger or courier service) or may be sent by regular, certified or
registered mail or U.S. Postal Service Express Mail, with postage prepaid, or
by facsimile transmission during normal business hours, and shall be deemed
sufficiently given if served in a manner specified in this Paragraph 23. The
addresses noted adjacent to a Party's signature on this Lease shall be that
Party's address for delivery or mailing of notice purposes. Either Party may
by written notice to the other specify a different address for notice
purposes, except that upon Lessee's taking possession of the Premises, the
Premises shall constitute Lessee's address for the purpose of mailing or
delivering notices to Lessee. A copy of all notices required or permitted to
be given to Lessor hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted to such party
or parties at such addresses as Lessor may from time to time hereafter
designate by written notice to Lessee.

       23.2    DATE OF NOTICE. Any notice sent by registered or certified
mail, return receipt requested, shall be deemed given on the date of delivery
shown on the receipt card, or if no delivery date is shown, the postmark
thereon. If sent by regular mail, the notice shall be deemed given
forty-eight (48) hours after the same is addressed as required herein and
mailed with postage prepaid. Notices delivered by United States Express Mail
or overnight courier that guarantees next day delivery shall be deemed given
twenty-four (24) hours after delivery of the same to the United States Postal
Service or courier. If any notice is transmitted by facsimile transmission or
similar means, the same shall be deemed served or delivered upon telephone or
facsimile confirmation of receipt of the transmission thereof, provided a
copy is also delivered via delivery or mail. If notice is received on a
Saturday or a Sunday or a legal holiday, it shall be deemed received on the
next business day.

24.    WAIVERS. No waiver by Lessor of the Default or Breach of any term,
covenant or condition hereof by Lessee, shall be deemed a waiver of any other
term, covenant or condition hereof, or of any subsequent Default or Breach by
Lessee of the same or any other term, covenant or condition hereof. Lessor's
consent to, or approval of, any such act shall not be deemed to render
unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any
subsequent or similar act by Lessee, or be construed as the basis of an
estoppel to enforce the provision or provisions of this Lease requiring such
consent. Regardless of Lessor's knowledge of a Default or Breach at the time
of accepting rent, the acceptance of rent by Lessor shall not be a waiver of
any Default or Breach by Lessee of any provision hereof. Any payment given
Lessor by Lessee may be accepted by Lessor on account of moneys or damages
due Lessor, notwithstanding any qualifying statements or conditions made by
Lessee in connection therewith, which such statements and/or conditions shall
be of no force or effect whatsoever unless specifically agreed to in writing
by Lessor at or before the time of deposit of such payment.

25.    RECORDING. Either Lessor or Lessee shall, upon request of the other,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a short form memorandum of
this Lease for recording purposes. The Party requesting recordation shall be
responsible for payment of any fees or taxes applicable thereto.

26.    NO RIGHT TO HOLDOVER. Lessee has no right to retain possession of the
Premises or any part thereof beyond the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease. In the event that Lessee holds over in violation of this
Paragraph 26 then the Base Rent payable from and after the time of the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall be increased to one
hundred seventy-five percent (175%) of the Base Rent applicable during the
month immediately preceding such expiration or earlier termination.  Nothing
contained herein shall be construed as a consent by Lessor to any holding
over by Lessee.

27.    CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed
exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies
at law or in equity.

28.    COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS. All provisions of this Lease to be observed
or performed by Lessee are both covenants and conditions.

29.    BINDING EFFECT; CHOICE OF LAW. This Lease shall be binding upon the
Parties, their personal representatives, successors and assigns and be
governed by the laws of the State in which the Premises are located. Any
litigation between the Parties hereto concerning this Lease shall be
initiated in the county in which the Premises are located.

30.    SUBORDINATION; ATTORNMENT; NON-DISTURBANCE.

       30.1    SUBORDINATION. This Lease and any Option granted hereby shall
be subject and subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or
other hypothecation or security device (collectively, "SECURITY DEVICE"), now
or hereafter placed by Lessor upon the real property of which the Premises
are a part, to any and all advances made on the security thereof, and to all
renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof.
Lessee agrees that the Lenders holding any such Security Device shall have no
duty, liability or obligation to perform any of the obligations of Lessor
under this Lease, but that in the event of Lessor's default with respect to
any such obligation, Lessee will give any Lender whose name and address have
been furnished Lessee in writing for such purpose notice of Lessor's default
pursuant to Paragraph 13.5. If any Lender shall elect to have this Lease
and/or any Option granted hereby superior to the lien of its Security Device
and shall give written notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease and such Options
shall be deemed prior to such Security Device, notwithstanding the relative
dates of the documentation or recordation thereof.

       30.2    ATTORNMENT. Subject to the non-disturbance provisions of
Paragraph 30.3, Lessee agrees to attorn to a Lender or any other party who
acquires ownership of the Premises by reason of a foreclosure of a Security
Device, and that in the event of such foreclosure, such new owner shall not:
(i) be liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor or with respect to
events occurring prior to acquisition of ownership, (ii) be subject to any
offsets or defenses which Lessee might have against any prior lessor, or
(iii) be bound by prepayment of more than one month's rent.

       30.3    NON-DISTURBANCE. With respect to Security Devices entered
into by Lessor after the execution of this lease, Lessee's subordination of
this Lease shall be subject to receiving assurance (a "non-disturbance
agreement") from the Lender that Lessee's possession and this Lease,
including any options to extend the term hereof, will not be disturbed so
long as Lessee is not in Breach hereof and attorns to the record owner of the
Premises.

       30.4    SELF-EXECUTING. The agreements contained in this Paragraph 30
shall be effective without the execution of any further documents; provided,
however, that upon written request from Lessor or a Lender in connection with
a sale, financing or refinancing of Premises, Lessee and Lessor shall execute
such further writings as may be reasonably required to separately document
any such subordination or non-subordination, attornment and/or
non-disturbance agreement as is provided for herein.

31.    ATTORNEYS' FEES. If any Party or Broker brings an action or
proceeding to enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the
Prevailing Party (as hereafter defined) in any such proceeding, action, or
appeal thereon, shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees. Such fees may
be awarded in the same suit or recovered in a separate suit, whether or not
such action or proceeding is pursued to decision or judgment. The term
"PREVAILING PARTY" shall include, without limitation, a Party or Broker who
substantially obtains or defeats the relief sought, as the case may be,
whether by compromise, settlement, judgment, or the abandonment by the other
Party or Broker of its claim or defense. The attorneys' fee award shall not
be computed in accordance with any court fee schedule, but shall be such as to
fully reimburse all attorneys' fees reasonably incurred. Lessor shall be
entitled to attorneys' fees, costs and expenses incurred in preparation and
service of notices of Default and consultations in connection therewith,
whether or not a legal action is subsequently commenced in connection with
such Default or resulting Breach. Broker(s) shall be intended third party
beneficiaries of this Paragraph 31.

32.    LESSOR'S ACCESS; SHOWING PREMISES; REPAIRS. Lessor and Lessor's
agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time, in the case of
an emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times for the purpose of showing
the same to prospective purchasers, lenders, or lessees, and making such
alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the
Building, as Lessor may reasonably deem necessary. Lessor may at any time
place on or about the Premises or Building any ordinary "For Sale" signs and
Lessor may at any time during the last one hundred eighty (180) days of the
term hereof place on or about the Premises any ordinary "For Lease" signs.
All such activities of Lessor shall be without abatement of rent or liability
to Lessee.

33.    AUCTIONS. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted,
either voluntarily or involuntarily, any auction upon the Premises without
first having obtained Lessor's prior written consent. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Lease, Lessor shall not be obligated to
exercise any standard of reasonableness in determining whether to grant such
consent.

34.    SIGNS. Lessee shall not place any sign upon the exterior of the
Premises or the Building, except that Lessee may, with Lessor's prior written
consent, install (but not on the roof) such signs as are reasonably required
to advertise Lessee's own business so long as such signs are in a location
designated by Lessor and comply with Applicable Requirements and the signage
criteria established for the Industrial Center by Lessor. The installation of
any sign on the Premises by or for Lessee shall be subject to the provisions of
Paragraph 7 (Maintenance, Repairs, Utility Installation, Trade Fixtures and
Alterations). Unless otherwise expressly agreed herein, Lessor reserves all
rights to the use of the roof of the Building, and the right to install
advertising signs on the Building, including the roof, which do not
unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Lessee's business; Lessor shall be
entitled to all revenues from such advertising signs.

35.    TERMINATION; MERGER. Unless specifically stated otherwise in writing
by Lessor, the voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, the mutual
termination or cancellation hereof, or a termination hereof by Lessor for
Breach by Lessee, shall automatically terminate any sublease or lesser estate
in the Premises; provided, however, Lessor shall in the event of any such
surrender, termination or cancellation, have the option to continue any one
or all of any existing subtenancies. Lessor's failure within ten (10) days
following any such event to make a written election to the contrary by
written notice to the holder of any such lesser interest, shall constitute
Lessor's election to have such event constitute the termination of such
interest.

36.    CONSENTS.

               (a)    Except for Paragraph 33 hereof (Auctions) or as
otherwise provided herein, wherever in this Lease the consent of a Party is
required to an act by or for the other Party, such consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lessor's actual reasonable costs and
expenses (including but not limited to architects', attorneys', engineers'
and other consultants' fees) incurred in the consideration of, or response
to, a request by Lessee for any Lessor consent pertaining to this Lease or
the Premises, including but not limited to consents to an assignment a
subletting or the presence or use of a Hazardous Substance, shall be paid by
Lessee to Lessor upon receipt of an invoice and supporting documentation
therefor. In addition to the deposit described in Paragraph 12.2(e), Lessor
may, as a condition to considering any such request by Lessee, require that
Lessee deposit with Lessor an amount of money (in addition to the Security
Deposit held under Paragraph 5) reasonably calculated by Lessor to represent
the cost Lessor will incur in considering and responding to Lessee's request.
Any unused portion of said deposit shall be refunded to Lessee without
interest. Lessor's consent to any act, assignment of this Lease or subletting
of the Premises by Lessee shall not constitute an acknowledgement that no
Default or Breach by Lessee of this Lease exists, nor shall such consent be
deemed a waiver of any then existing Default or Breach, except as may be
otherwise specifically stated in writing by Lessor at the time of such
consent.

               (b)    All conditions to Lessor's consent authorized by this
Lease are acknowledged by Lessee as being reasonable. The failure to specify
herein any particular condition to Lessor's consent shall not preclude the
impositions by Lessor at the time of consent of such further or other
conditions as are then reasonable with reference to the particular matter for
which consent is being given.

37.    GUARANTOR.

       37.1    FORM OF GUARANTY. If there are to be any Guarantors of this
Lease per Paragraph 1.11, the form of the guaranty to be executed by each
such Guarantor shall be in the form most recently published by the American
Industrial Real Estate Association, and each such Guarantor shall have the
same obligations as Lessee under this lease, including but not limited to the
obligation to provide the Tenancy Statement and information required in
Paragraph 16.

<PAGE>


        37.2   ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS OF GUARANTOR. It shall constitute a
Default of the Lessee under this Lease if any such Guarantor fails or
refuses, upon reasonable request by Lessor to give: (a) evidence of the due
execution of the guaranty called for by this Lease, including the authority
of the Guarantor (and of the party signing on Guarantor's behalf) to obligate
such Guarantor on said guaranty, and resolution of its board of directors
authorizing the making of such guaranty, together with a certificate of
incumbency showing the signatures of the persons authorized to sign on its
behalf, (b) current financial statements of Guarantor as may from time to
time be requested by Lessor, (c) a Tenancy Statement, or (d) written
confirmation that the guaranty is still in effect.

38.    QUIET POSSESSION. Upon payment by Lessee of the rent for the
Premises and the performance of all of the covenants, conditions and
provisions on Lessee's part to be observed and performed under this Lease,
Lessee shall have quiet possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof
subject to all of the provisions of this Lease.

39.    OPTIONS.

       39.1    DEFINITION. As used in this Lease, the word "OPTION" has the
following meaning: (a) the right to extend the term of this Lease or to renew
this Lease or to extend or renew any lease that Lessee has on other property
of Lessor; (b) the right of first refusal to lease the Premises or the right
of first offer to lease the Premises or the right of first refusal to lease
other property of Lessor or the right of first offer to lease other property
of Lessor; (c) the right to purchase the Premises, or the right of first
refusal to purchase the Premises, or the right of first offer to purchase the
Premises, or the right to purchase other property of Lessor, or the right of
first refusal to purchase other property of Lessor, or the right of first
offer to purchase other property of Lessor.

       39.2    OPTIONS PERSONAL TO ORIGINAL LESSEE. Each Option granted to
Lessee in this Lease is personal to the original Lessee named in Paragraph
1.1 hereof, and cannot be voluntarily or involuntarily assigned or exercised
by any person or entity other than said original Lessee while the original
Lessee is in full and actual possession of the Premises and without the
intention of thereafter assigning or subletting. The Options, if any, herein
granted to Lessee are not assignable, either as a part of an assignment of
this Lease or separately or apart therefrom, and no Option may be separated
from this Lease in any manner, by reservation or otherwise.

       39.3    MULTIPLE OPTIONS. In the event that Lessee has any multiple
Options to extend or renew this Lease, a later option cannot be exercised
unless the prior Options to extend or renew this Lease have been validly
exercised.

       39.4    EFFECT OF DEFAULT ON OPTIONS.

               (a)     Lessee shall have no right to exercise an Option,
notwithstanding any provision in the grant of Option to the contrary: (i)
during the period commencing with the giving of any notice of Default under
Paragraph 13.1 and continuing until the noticed Default is cured, or (ii)
during the period of time any monetary obligation due Lessor from Lessee is
unpaid (without regard to whether notice thereof is given Lessee), or (iii)
during the time Lessee is in Breach of this Lease, or (iv) in the event that
Lessor has given to Lessee three (3) or more notices of separate Defaults
under Paragraph 13.1 during the twelve (12) month period immediately
preceding the exercise of the Option, whether or not the Defaults are cured.

               (b)     The period of time within which an Option may be
exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Lessee's inability
to exercise an Option because of the provisions of Paragraph 39.4(a)

               (c)     All rights of Lessee under the provisions of an Option
shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, notwithstanding
Lessee's due and timely exercise of the Option, if, after such exercise and
during the term of this Lease, (i) Lessee fails to pay to Lessor a monetary
obligation of Lessee for a period of thirty (30) days after such obligation
becomes due (without any necessity of Lessor to give notice thereof to
Lessee), or (ii) Lessor gives to Lessee three (3) or more notices of separate
Defaults under Paragraph 13.1 during any twelve (12) month period, whether or
not the Defaults are cured, or (iii) if Lessee commits a Breach of this
Lease.

40.    RULES AND REGULATIONS. Lessee agrees that it will abide by, and keep
and observe all reasonable rules and regulations ("Rules and Regulations")
which Lessor may make from time to time for the management, safety, care, and
cleanliness of the grounds, the parking and unloading of vehicles and the
preservation of good order, as well as for the convenience of other
occupants or tenants of the Building and the Industrial Center and their
invitees.

41.    SECURITY MEASURES. Lessee hereby acknowledges that the rental
payable to Lessor hereunder does not include the cost of guard service or
other security measures, and that Lessor shall have no obligation whatsoever
to provide same. Lessee assumes all responsibility for the protection of the
Premises, Lessee, its agents and invitees and their property from the acts of
third parties.

42.    RESERVATIONS. Lessor reserves the right, from time to time, to
grant, without the consent or joinder of Lessee, such easements, rights of
way, utility raceways, and dedications that Lessor deems necessary, and to
cause the recordation of parcel maps and restrictions, so long as such
easements, rights of way, utility raceways, dedications, maps and
restrictions do not reasonably interfere with the use of the Premises by
Lessee. Lessee agrees to sign any documents reasonably requested by Lessor to
effectuate any such easement rights, dedication, map or restrictions.

43.    PERFORMANCE UNDER PROTEST. If at any time a dispute shall arise as to
any amount or sum of money to be paid by one Party to the other under the
provisions hereof, the Party against whom the obligation to pay the money is
asserted shall have the right to make payment "under protest" and such
payment shall not be regarded as a voluntary payment and there shall survive
the right on the part of said Party to institute suit for recovery of such
sum. If it shall be adjudged that there was no legal obligation on the part
of said Party to pay such sum or any part thereof, said Party shall be
entitled to recover such sum or so much thereof as it was not legally
required to pay under the provisions of this Lease.

44.    AUTHORITY. If either Party is a corporation, trust, or general or
limited partnership, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of such
entity represents and warrants that he or she is duly authorized to execute
and deliver this Lease on its behalf. If Lessee is a corporation, trust or
partnership, Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days after request by Lessor,
deliver to Lessor evidence satisfactory to Lessor of such authority.

45.    CONFLICT. Any conflict between the printed provisions of this Lease
and the typewritten or handwritten provisions shall be controlled by the
typewritten or handwritten provisions.

46.    OFFER. Preparation of this Lease by either Lessor or Lessee or
Lessor's agent or Lessee's agent and submission of same to Lessee or Lessor
shall not be deemed an offer to lease. This Lease is not intended to be
binding until executed and delivered by all Parties hereto.

47.    AMENDMENTS. This Lease may be modified only in writing, signed by
the parties in interest at the time of the modification. The Parties shall
amend this Lease from time to time to reflect any adjustments that are made
to the Base Rent or other rent payable under this Lease. As long as they do
not materially change Lessee's obligations hereunder, Lessee agrees to make
such reasonable non-monetary modifications to this Lease as may be reasonably
required by an institutional insurance company or pension plan Lender in
connection with the obtaining of normal financing or refinancing of the
property of which the Premises are a part.

48.    MULTIPLE PARTIES. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if
more than one person or entity is named herein as either Lessor or Lessee,
the obligations of such multiple parties shall be the joint and several
responsibility of all persons or entities named herein as such Lessor or
Lessee.

49.   SQUARE FOOTAGE:

      This 16,020 square feet shall be recalculated and all numbers shall change
      accordingly in this Lease and Addendum to include the square footage to be
      added for the additional staging area, truck door and side door adjacent
      to the southeast side of the Premises.

50.   COMMENCEMENT:

      The Lease shall commence upon substantial completion of Tenant
      Improvements currently estimated to be August 1, 1998.  Lessee also
      acknowledges that the staging area referenced above shall occur while
      Lessee is in occupancy of the Premises and after the Commencement Date.
      Completion of this staging area is estimated to be approximately three (3)
      months after execution of the Lease by the Lessee and Lessor, subject to
      issues that are within Lessor's control.

51.   BASE RENTAL RATE SCHEDULE:

      Months    01-12   $21,306.60
      Months    13-24   $22,158.86
      Months    25-36   $23,045.22
      Months    37-48   $23,967.03
      Months    49-60   $24,925.71

      The above rental rate schedule is net of Lessee's separately submetered
      electricity and janitorial services to the Premises and shall include all
      project Operating Expenses up to the Base Year amount.

52.   UTILITIES:

      Lessee shall pay its pro rata share of electricity provided to the
      Premises as billed by Lessor.  Lessee's pro rata share shall be determined
      by the Lessor periodically reading the electric submeter to be installed
      by Lessor.  Lessor shall calculate Lessee's pro rata share by charging
      Lessee their mathematical proportion of the kilowatt hours used (as read
      on the new submeter) in relation to the total number of kilowatt hours on
      the main meter.  Lessor shall charge Lessee based on actual costs billed
      by the service provider.  Lessor shall not profit or charge a fee for this
      service.  Lessee shall have reasonable inspection of bills and submeters.
      Bills shall be submitted accordingly by Lessor to Lessee upon request from
      Lessee.

53.   OPERATING EXPENSES:

      Not withstanding anything contained in the Lease, Lessee shall pay its
      proportionate share of Operating Expenses associated with the Premises and
      the project above the 1998 Base Year.  Operating Expenses shall include,
      but not be limited to, the real estate taxes, common area maintenance
      expenses, insurance, and all Operating Expenses under 4.2 of the Lease.
      These expenses are more thoroughly defined in Section 4.2 of the Lease.

54.   OPERATING HOURS:

      Lessee may utilize the HVAC system during typical business hours, not to

BROKER DISCLOSURE:  The parties hereby expressly acknowledge that Broker has
made no independent determination or investigation regarding the following:
present or future use or zoning of the property; environmental matters
affecting the property; the condition of the property including, but not limited
to, structural, mechanical, and soils conditions as well as issues surrounding
hazardous wastes or substances; violations of the Occupational Safety and Health
Act or any other federal, state, county or municipal laws, ordinances, or
statutes; measurements of land and/or buildings.  Lessee agrees to make its own
investigation and determination regarding such items.

Owners or tenants of real property may be subject to the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA), a federal law codified at 42 USC Section 12101 et seq.
Among other requirements of the ADA that could apply to the property, Title III
of the Act requires owners and tenants of "public accommodations" to remove
barriers to access by disabled persons and provide auxiliary aids and services
for hearing, vision, or speech impaired persons.  The regulations under Title
III of the ADA are codified at 28 CFR Part 36.  Broker recommends that both
Landlord and Tenant review the ADA and the regulations to determine if this law
would apply to them and the nature of the requirements.  These are legal issues.
The parties are responsible for conducting their own independent investigation
of these issues.

Compliance with Laws:  The parties hereto agree to comply with all applicable
federal, state, and local laws, regulations, codes, ordinances, and
administrative orders having jurisdiction over the parties, the property, or the
subject matter of this document including, but not limited to, the 1964 Civil
Rights Act and all amendments thereto, the Foreign Investment in Real Property
Tax Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability
Act, and The Americans With Disabilities Act.

       system installed by the Sub-Contractor to verify its compliance with
       the standards required by ISO 9001.

2.     By accepting this document, the Sub-Contractor confirms that the

       ensure the effective application of all measures having to do with
       quality assurance.  Said representative shall be granted all necessary

       errors or faults must consequently be closed out with the agreement of
       all the parties concerned.

5.     The supplies to be delivered are the property of Siemens and shall,
       consequently, be so identified.  The indications appearing in

       participate in checks, trials and reviews.

[8.    Siemens representatives may carry out acceptance tests of the group of
       supplies.  Consequently, it is advisable to prepare specifications for
       such tests and submit them to Siemens for acceptance in compliance
       with the deadlines set in the PP/QAP.  Siemens shall give 10 notice of
       the date of such acceptance tests.  Reports on checks, trials and
       final reviews and other relevant documents shall be submitted to
       Siemens before acceptance tests begin.]

       the Client.  The Sub-Contractor agrees to draw up specifications for
       said acceptance.

         10. ASSIGNMENTS

             Neither party may assign or transfer its interest herein without

         11. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW

         13.  SEVERABILITY

              If any provision of this Agreement or part of such provision is
or becomes invalid or unenforceable, then the remaining provisions hereof
shall continue to be effective.

         14.  WAIVERS

              No waiver by a party of any of its rights or remedies shall be
construed as a waiver by such party of any other rights or remedies that such
party may have under this Agreement.

         15.  DISPUTES

         (a)  GOOD-FAITH NEGOTIATIONS.  If any dispute arises under this
agreement that is not settled promptly in the ordinary course of business,
the parties shall seek to resolve any such dispute between them, first, by
negotiating promptly with each other in good faith in face-to-face
negotiations.  If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within 20
business days (or such period as the parties shall otherwise agree) through
these face-to-face negotiations, then any such dispute shall be resolved in
the following manner.

         (b)  EXCLUDED CAUSES.  If the only dispute relates to unpaid fees,
costs or other charges, the party owed the money may commence legal action in
court for outstanding moneys due under this Agreement.

         (c)  BINDING ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION.  Any remaining dispute
arising under this Agreement shall be resolved by using alternative dispute
resolution (ADR) procedures, which can hopefully avoid or reduce the acrimony
resulting from adversarial litigation.  If the efforts through face-to-face
negotiations in paragraph 1, above, are not successful, the parties will
initiate a mini-trial (ADR) process with selection of a neutral advisor, who
will schedule a mini-trial to occur approximately 30 business days after the
selection of the neutral advisor.  The neutral advisor will introduce an
impartial opinion approximately 15 business days after completion of the
mini-trial.  Throughout the ADR process, the neutral will provide an element
of mediation with the goal of having the parties resolve the dispute without
issuance of the impartial opinion.  However, if the parties do not reach
agreement, the impartial opinion rendered by the neutral advisor will be
binding and judgment upon that opinion may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction thereof.  The parties may elect to use an arbitration/mediation
service which specializes in timely ADR, such as ENDISPUTE or the Judicial
Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc.  All expenses such as the cost of
the neutral advisor or the hearing facility will be shared equally.

         16.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT

              This Agreement contains the entire Agreement between the
parties with respect to the Program and supersedes any previous
understanding, commitments, or agreement, oral or written.  This Agreement
shall not be amended nor shall any waiver of any right hereunder be
effective, unless set forth in a document executed by duly authorized
representatives of both Teammate and PRC.  The laws of the Commonwealth of
Virginia shall govern the validity, construction, scope and performance of
this Agreement.

         17.  HIRING OF EMPLOYEES

              During the period that this Agreement is in force and
throughout the period of performance of any resultant contract or subcontract
arrangements, including extensions or modifications thereto, the parties
hereto agree that neither shall solicit for employment, any technical or
professional employees of the other assigned to work on the
contract/subcontract, without the prior written agreement of the party whose
employee is being considered for employment.

              IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereby have caused this
Agreement to be duly executed on the date noted above.

      A.  It has the unrestricted right to license the Licensed Software;

      B.  The Licensed Software is free from any known defects;

                                       8

<PAGE>

      C.  The Licensed Software will operate in accordance with its stated
          functional performance specifications and standards; and

      D.  The use of the Licensed Software will not infringe or violate any
          third party rights. Subcontractor will defend any action brought
          against contractor based on a claim that the Licensed Software,
          when used within the scope of this Agreement, infringes or violates
          any third party rights. Subcontractor will pay any award against
          contractor based on such infringement or violation if contractor had
          notified Subcontractor promptly in writing of the claim and had
          permitted Subcontractor to participate in the defense.

15.2  This clause shall not affect, change or impair any additional
      warranties provided by Subcontractor or any third party under any
      contract or lease with Subcontractor for equipment with which the
      Licensed Software is used.

      ARTICLE 16.  DELIVERY TERMS

Delivery of the items set forth herein shall be F.O.B. destination.

      ARTICLE 17.  INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE

17.1  Should any software failure occur during acceptance testing which
      renders the software package unusable, the Subcontractor agrees to
      promptly correct the fault in accordance with Article 14 of the
      Subcontract.

17.2  The acceptance testing specific to Subcontractor's responsibility, the
      Photo Imaging System should consist of two distinct elements:

      a.  Functional Acceptance -- testing during the initial delivery, and
          installation of hardware and software. This will include a check
          list of hardware and software, and testing of input screens,
          responses, peripherals. Subcontractor will develop mutually agreed
          set of tests to demonstrate the operational functionality of the
          software installed, including a simulation of all applicable
          external interfaces and formats.

      b.  System Acceptance Testing (final module acceptance) -- performance
          testing, availability testing performed by Contractor and Customer
          with subcontractor's support.

17.3  System Acceptance Testing states that the Customer shall develop the
      System Acceptance testing plan and procedures and that the Contractor
      and Subcontractor shall provide support. Just as the design of the
      system shall be a cooperative effort, the development of the system
      acceptance test plans and methodology shall also be a cooperative effort
      that is mutually agreed to by the Customer and PRC and occurs early in
      the Project schedule. PRC will provide the System Acceptance Test Plan
      as a formal deliverable for Customer acceptance which is not to be
      unreasonably held.

17.4  During the System Acceptance Test period, system availability (both
      functional and performance) will be calculated using a mutually agreed
      set of criteria to be determined after PRC's Factory Acceptance Test.
      These criteria will include definitions of preconditions for start of
      testing, operational availability metrics, data collection methods,
      performance characteristics of system elements (hardware and software),
      partial vs. full availability, problem reporting procedures, and
      responsibilities. Installation testing shall not be conducted as part
      of the system acceptance test.

                                       9
<PAGE>

17.5  Should the system fail for any reason to pass acceptance testing, the
      preferred course of action will be for Subcontractor to take the system
      out of the live environment to make any corrections necessary to
      restart the acceptance test. Such access will be coordinated with the
      Contractor so as not to unreasonably impact ongoing operations. During
      this period, the Customer shall not have access to the system.
      Subcontractor shall give notice to the Contractor as to when the system
      shall be ready for the restart of the acceptance test.

      ARTICLE 18. PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

18.1  The contractor's Program Manager, or its duly authorized Contracting
      Officer's Technical Representative (COTR), shall provide technical
      direction to the Subcontractor relative to the specific Software to be
      delivered hereunder, monitor all technical aspects and assist in
      administration of the Subcontract. The types of action within the
      COTR's authority are to monitor Subcontractor technical performance;
      perform or cause to be performed inspections necessary for performance
      of the Subcontract; maintain written and oral communications with the
      Subcontractor regarding the technical requirements of the Subcontract;
      assist Subcontractor with Technology Improvements (ECP) preparations;
      and notify the Subcontractor and contractor designated representative
      of any problems or deficiencies.

18.2  In the event direction is given that will affect the price or period of
      performance or otherwise is in conflict with the terms and conditions
      of this Subcontract or Delivery Orders issued hereunder, the
      Subcontractor shall notify the contractor's designated representative,
      as set forth in Article 24 herein.

18.3  The contractor's designated representative, specified in Article 24, is
      the only person authorized to approve changes or modify any of the
      requirements contained elsewhere in this Subcontract. No change in
      cost, schedule, or specification shall be made, except in writing, on a
      Subcontract Modification Form which shall be signed by designated
      representatives of both parties.

18.4  All meetings and other contacts involving Subcontractor personnel or
      their representatives with representatives of the Contracting
      Agency/Organization, relative to the efforts herein, shall be arranged
      through the Subcontractor's duly authorized representative. Only the
      contractor can direct the Subcontractor or modify the terms and
      conditions of this Subcontract. Subcontractor shall immediately notify
      contractor of any/all requests issued by the Contracting
      Agency/Organization to Subcontractor with respect to the Program.

      ARTICLE 19.  HIRING OF EMPLOYEES

Except as otherwise agreed to in writing during the period that this
Subcontract is in effect, including any extentions hereto, the Subcontractor
and the contractor shall not actively recruit or otherwise induce the other
party's employees assigned in connection with the effort hereunder to accept
a position of employment with the other party unless mutually agreed to in
writing by both parties.

      ARTICLE 20.  PROPRIETARY DATA

20.1  Unless otherwise subject to a separate non-disclosure agreement which
      shall remain in effect during the term of this Subcontract, each of the
      parties to this Subcontract acknowledges that certain technical data,
      drawings, designs, specifications and information provided to the other
      party are and shall be during the performance of this Subcontract,
      Proprietary Information of the providing party. "Proprietary
      Information" is defined as any information, data or material which is
      conspicuously marked with an appropriate legend indicating its
      proprietary nature, or verbal information which is identified as
      Proprietary Information at the time of its disclosure, and is reduced
      to writing and marked with an appropriate legend within forty-eight
      (48) hours of its disclosure. The parties agree that all Proprietary
      Information of either party shall be protected from unauthorized
      disclosure, will be made available only to those members of their
      staffs and

                                       10
<PAGE>

      related parties who need such Proprietary Information in the
      performance of this Subcontract, and that all of the persons to whom
      such Proprietary Information is made available will be duly instructed
      as to the need for confidentiality of, and protection for, such
      Proprietary Information.

20.2  Upon completion of this Subcontract, or its earlier termination for any
      reason, each party to this Subcontract shall promptly return the
      respective Proprietary Information, records, technical data, drawings,
      designs, specifications and all copies thereof to the party who
      provided such Proprietary Information.

20.3  The parties may by written agreement exempt certain of their Proprietary
      Information from the restrictions of this Article or permit the
      retention thereof by the other party.

20.4  Subcontractor shall prominently mark as "proprietary" all Software,
      which it represents as proprietary to Subcontractor. Contractor shall
      take reasonable steps to safeguard the Licensed Software designated by
      Subcontractor as "proprietary" received pursuant to this Agreement from
      disclosure to third parties for five (5) years from the effective date
      of this Agreement. Contractor shall be deemed to discharge its entire
      obligation hereunder for said period if it exercises the same degree of
      care to safeguard such Licensed Software received as it uses to
      safeguard its own similar programs and program documentation in similar
      circumstances.

20.5  Contractor shall not be liable to the Subcontractor for disclosure of
      any Licensed Software designated as "proprietary" under subparagraph b,
      below, which:

      a.  is now in or hereafter comes into the public domain without breach
          of this Agreement, or

      b.  is known to the contractor prior to disclosure, or

      c.  is independently developed by the contractor, or

      d.  becomes known to the contractor without like restrictions to those
          herein, or

      e.  is, without breach of this Agreement, disclosed by Subcontractor to
          a third party without restrictions similar to those in this
          Agreement.

20.6  In rendering services to Contractor, Subcontractor, its employees,
      independent Subcontractors and agents may have access to information
      and proprietary data of contractor. Subcontractor agrees to take
      reasonable steps to safeguard the confidentiality of contractor's
      information and proprietary data from disclosure to third parties, and
      to not otherwise use such information and proprietary data for its own
      benefit.

      ARTICLE 21.  PATENT, COPYRIGHT AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS INDEMNITY

Subcontractor shall indemnify and hold contractor harmless from any claim,
proceeding, suit or judgement brought against contractor, and from all costs
and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) associated therewith, based
upon a claim that any product licensed hereunder constitutes an infringement
of any patent, copyright, trademark or similar proprietary right.
Subcontractor shall pay any legal and court costs as well as damages finally
awarded or agreed to by the parties in any suit or proceeding, provided
Subcontractor is informed and furnished a copy of each communication, notice,
or other action relating to the alleged infringement and is given necessary
authority, and cooperation of contractor necessary to defend or settle said
suit or proceeding.

              ARTICLE 22.   DISPUTES

22.1   Disputes Under This Subcontract

       If any dispute arises under this Agreement that is not settled promptly
       in the ordinary course of business, the parties shall seek to resolve any
       such dispute between them, first, by negotiating promptly with each other
       in good faith in face-to-face negotiations. These negotiations shall be
       conducted by a designated senior management representative of each party,
       who was not previously involved in the dispute. If the parties are unable
       to resolve the dispute within twenty (20) business day (or such period as
       the parties shall otherwise agree) through these face-to-face
       negotiations, then any such dispute shall be resolved in the following
       manner.

       a.     If the only dispute relates to unpaid fees, costs or other
              charges, the party owed the money may commence legal action in any
              Virginia court of competent jurisdiction for outstanding monies
              due under this Agreement.

       b.     Any remaining dispute arising under this Agreement shall be
              resolved by using alternative dispute resolution ("ADR")
              procedures, which can hopefully avoid or reduce the acrimony
              resulting from adversarial litigation. If the efforts through
              face-to-face negotiations above are not successful, the parties
              will initiate a mini-trial through the ADR process with the
              selection of a neutral advisor, who will schedule a mini-trial
              to occur approximately thirty (30) business days after the
              selection of the neutral advisor. The neutral advisor will
              introduce an impartial opinion approximately fifteen (15)
              business days after completion of the mini-trial, if the
              parties have not settled remaining issues. Throughout the ADR
              process, the neutral advisor will provide an element of
              mediation with the goal of having the parties resolve the
              dispute without issuance of the impartial opinion. However, if
              agreement is not reached by the parties, the impartial opinion
              rendered by the neutral advisor will be binding and judgment
              upon that opinion may be entered in any Virginia court having
              jurisdiction thereof. The parties should use an
              arbitration/mediation service which specializes in timely ADR,
              such as ENDISPUTE or the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation
              Services, Inc. All expenses such as the cost of the neutral
              advisor or the hearing facility will be shared equally.

22.2   Disputes Under the Prime Contract

       a.     If a decision on a question of fact is issued by the Contracting
              Officer under the Prime Contract "Disputes" clause and the
              decision relates to this Subcontract, said decision, if binding
              upon contractor under the Prime Contract, shall also be binding
              upon Contractor and Subcontractor with respect to this
              Subcontract. However, if Subcontractor is affected by such
              decision, and if contractor elects not to appeal such decision
              under the "Disputes" clause of the Prime Contract, contractor
              shall notify Subcontractor promptly. After receipt of such notice
              from Contractor, if Subcontractor submits a timely request to
              Contractor to appeal such decision, Contractor shall file an
              appeal. If Contractor appeals such decision, whether at its
              election or at Subcontractor's request, a decision upon such
              appeal, if binding upon Contractor under the Prime contract, shall
              be binding upon Contractor and Subcontractor as it relates to this
              Subcontract. Appeals under the "Dispute" clause of the Prime
              Contract do not preclude consideration of questions of law in
              connection with decisions referenced above.

       b.     For any claims to be submitted under 1. above in excess of
              $50,000, a senior company officer in charge at the Subcontractor
              location shall certify to Contractor as to its portion of the
              claim that: (a) the claim is made in good faith, (b) the
              supporting data are accurate and complete to the best of
              Subcontractor's knowledge and belief, and (c) the amount requested
              accurately reflects the


                                       12
<PAGE>

              Subcontract adjustment for which Subcontractor believes the
              Contracting Agency/Organization is liable.

       c.     If any such appeal is denied or otherwise decided adversely to
              Contractor's interest, or if Contractor is otherwise adversely
              affected by any decision made by any representative of the
              Contracting Agency/Organization on any question of fact and/or
              law arising under the Prime contract which is also related to
              the Subcontract, from which appeal under the "Disputes" clause
              in the Prime Contract is not available, said decision, if
              binding upon Contractor under the Prime Contract, shall in turn
              be binding upon Contractor and Subcontractor with respect to
              such question as it relates to this Subcontract; provided,
              however, if the Subcontractor is adversely affected by any such
              decision, and if Contractor elects not to bring suit against
              the Contracting Agency/Organization with respect to such
              decision, Contractor shall notify Subcontractor promptly. If
              Subcontractor submits a timely request to Contractor to bring
              suit against the Contracting Agency/Organization, Contractor
              shall start such suit. If Contractor brings suit against the
              Contracting Agency/Organization with respect to any such
              decision, whether at its election or at Subcontractor's
              request, a final judgement in any such suit, if binding upon
              Contractor under the Prime Contract, shall in turn be binding
              upon Contractor and Subcontractor under this Subcontract with
              respect to the question decided as it relates to this
              Subcontract.

       d.     If any such appeal or suit is taken or brought by Contractor,
              whether at its election or at Subcontractor's request,
              Subcontractor shall assist Contractor in its prosecution
              thereof in every reasonable manner; and Subcontractor shall be
              afforded reasonable opportunity to participate in the
              prosecution thereof to the extent Subcontractor's interest may
              be affected. To the extent requested by Contractor,
              Subcontractor shall prosecute for Contractor any appeal or suit
              taken or brought at Subcontractor's request and, in such event,
              Contractor shall assist Subcontractor in every reasonable
              manner. All cost and expenses incurred by Subcontractor and
              Contractor in prosecuting any appeal or suit taken or brought
              solely at Subcontractor's request shall be paid by the
              Subcontractor. Where possible, Contractor shall, in good faith,
              consult with Subcontractor concerning the presentation to the
              Contracting Officer, or other cognizant representatives of the
              Contracting Agency/Organization, of the questions referred to
              in paragraph 1. and 3. above, to the extent they may affect
              Subcontractor's interest.

       e.     If as a result of any decision or judgment which is binding upon
              Subcontractor and Contractor, Contractor is unable to obtain
              reimbursement from the Contracting Agency/Organization under the
              Prime contract, or is required to refund or credit to the
              Contracting Agency/Organization, for any amount with respect to
              any item of cost or fee for which Contractor has reimbursed
              Subcontractor, Subcontractor shall, on demand, promptly repay such
              amount to Contractor.

       f.     The rights and obligations herein shall survive completion of and
              final payment under this Subcontract.

       Provided, however, Subcontractor shall not be bound by any such
       Contracting Officer's decision, appeals board decision, or judgement if
       such is not determinative of an obligation imposed upon Subcontractor
       under this Subcontract, or any amendment hereto.

       Pending the resolution of any dispute, Subcontractor shall proceed as
       directed by Contractor in writing.

                                   EXHIBIT B

                              GENERAL PROVISIONS

    1.                   RESPONSIBILITY OF SUBCONTRACTOR

A.  It is understood that in the performance of the services herein provided
    for, Subcontractor shall be, and is, an independent Subcontractor, and is
    not an agent or employee of Contractor and Customer and shall furnish
    such services in its own manner and method except as required by this
    Agreement. Further, Subcontractor has and shall retain the right to
    exercise full control over the employment, direction, compensation and
    discharge of all persons employed by Subcontractor in the performance of
    the services hereunder. Subcontractor shall be solely responsible for,
    and shall indemnify, defend and save Contractor and Customer harmless
    from all matters relating to the payment of its employees, including
    compliance with social security, withholding and all other wages,
    salaries, benefits, taxes, exemptions, and regulations of any nature
    whatsoever.

B.  Subcontractor acknowledges that Subcontractor and any Subcontractors,
    agents or employees employed by Subcontractor shall not, under any
    circumstances, be considered employees of the Contractor and Customer,
    and that they shall not be entitled to any of the benefits or rights
    afforded employees of Contractor and Customer, including, but not limited
    to, sick leave, vacation leave, holiday pay, Public Employees Retirement
    System benefits, or health, life, dental, long-term disability or
    workers' compensation insurance benefits. Contractor and Customer will
    not provide or pay for any liability or medical insurance, retirement
    contributions or any other benefits for or on behalf of Subcontractor or
    any of its officers, employees or other agents.

C.  Subcontractor shall be responsible for the professional quality,
    technical accuracy, timely completion, and coordination of all services
    furnished by the Subcontractor, its Subcontractors and its and their
    principals, officers, employees and agents under this Agreement. In
    performing the specified services, Subcontractor shall follow practices
    consistent with generally accepted professional and technical standards.

D.  It shall be the duty of Subcontractor to assure that all products of its
    effort are technically sound and in conformance with all pertinent
    Federal, State and Local statutes, codes, ordinances, resolutions and
    other regulations. Subcontractor will not produce a work product which
    violates or infringes on any copyright or patent rights. Subcontractor
    shall, without additional compensation, correct or revise any errors or
    omissions in its work products. Permitted or required approval by the
    Contractor of any products or services furnished by Subcontractor shall
    not in any way relieve the Subcontractor of responsibility for the
    professional and technical accuracy and adequacy of its work.
    Contractor's review, approval, acceptance, or payment for any of
    Subcontractor's services herein shall not be construed to operate as a
    waiver of any rights under this Agreement or of any cause of action
    arising out of the performance of this Agreement, and Subcontractor shall
    be and remain liable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for
    damages to Customer caused by Subcontractor's performance or failures to
    perform under this Agreement.

E.  Subcontractor shall appoint a Manager who will manage the performance of
    services. All of the services specified by this Agreement shall be
    performed by the Manager, or by Subcontractor's associates and employees
    under the personal supervision of the Manager. Should the Manager, or any
    employee of Subcontractor designated as key personnel be unable to
    complete his or her responsibility for any reason, the Subcontractor will
    replace him or her with a qualified person. If Subcontractor fails to
    make a required replacement within thirty (30) days, Contractor may
    terminate this Agreement for default.

F.  Subcontractor agrees that its officers and employees will cooperate with
    the Contractor in the performance of services under this Agreement and
    will be available for consultation with Contractor at such reasonable
    times with advance notice as to not conflict with their other
    responsibilities.

                                       21
<PAGE>

G.  Subcontractor has or will retain such employees, as it may need to
    perform the services required by this Agreement. Such employees shall not
    be employed by the State of Nevada, the Customer or any other political
    subdivision of the State of Nevada.

H.  Subcontractor shall cooperate with the Customer on all security matters
    and shall promptly comply with any Project security requirements
    established by the Customer. Such compliance with these security
    requirements shall not relieve Subcontractor of responsibility for
    maintaining proper security for the sites, nor shall it be construed as
    limiting in any manner Subcontractor's obligation to undertake reasonable
    action as required to establish and maintain secure conditions at the
    sites.

I.  All Subcontractor employees that will be working at a Customer location
    must pass a state and local security background investigation.
    Subcontractor shall promptly replace any employee who fails such
    background investigation. The Customer shall bear the cost for these
    investigations.

J.  The rights and remedies of the Contractor provided for under this section
    are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law or under
    other sections of this Agreement.

         2.                 CHANGES TO SCOPE OF WORK

A.  The Customer may at any time, by written order, make changes within the
    general scope of this Agreement and in the services or work to be
    performed. If such changes cause an increase or decrease in
    Subcontractor's cost or time required for performance of any services
    under this Agreement, an equitable adjustment limited to an amount within
    current unencumbered budgeted appropriations for the Project shall be
    made and this Agreement shall be modified in writing accordingly. All
    such amendments shall state any increase or decrease in the amount of the
    compensation due the Subcontractor for the change in scope and/or
    schedule, if any. Should Subcontractor and Contractor be unable to agree
    on the impact on price and schedule, there will be no obligation on the
    part of Subcontractor to proceed with the change. Any claim of
    Subcontractor for an adjustment under this clause must be asserted in
    writing within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of receipt by
    Subcontractor of notification of change unless the Contractor grants a
    further period of time before the date of final payment under this
    Agreement.

    Any delays caused by Customer and/or Contractor which have a cost and/or
    schedule impact to the Project, including but not limited to:

    1.  Failure to timely approve documents as provided herein,
    2.  Failure to comply with responsibilities set forth in the Project Plan,
    3.  Failure to provide reasonable access to facilities or information
        required for Subcontractor to perform,

    Shall be regarded as constructive changes and shall entitle Subcontractor
    to receive from Contractor an equitable adjustment in price and schedule
    limited to an amount within current unencumbered budgeted appropriations
    for the Project. Contractor agrees to make reasonable best efforts to
    obtain funding necessary to accommodate equitable adjustments that may
    result from Customer caused delays or constructive change activity.

                                       22
<PAGE>

    3.  SUBCONTRACTS

A.  Services specified by this Agreement shall not be subcontracted by
    Subcontractor, without prior written approval of Customer. Unless
    otherwise notified, award of the contract shall serve as the Customer's
    approval to subcontract the services as specified in the Subcontractor's
    proposal. Subsequent to award, the Customer will accept or reject
    proposed Subcontractors as promptly as practicable, with such concurrence
    not to be be unreasonably withheld.

B.  Approval by Customer of Subcontractor's request to subcontract or
    acceptance of or payment for subcontracted work by Customer shall not in
    any way relieve Subcontractor of responsibility for the professional and
    technical accuracy and adequacy of the work. Subcontractor shall be and
    remain liable for all damages to Customer caused by negligent performance
    or non-performance of work under this Agreement by Customer's
    Subcontractors of any tier.

B.  The compensation due under Section 3 shall not be affected by Customer's
    approval of Subcontractor's request to subcontract.

    4.  TERMINATION

1)  This Agreement may be terminated in whole or in part by either party in
    the event of substantial failure of the other party to fulfill its
    obligations under this Agreement through no fault of the terminating
    party; but only after the other party is given:

         a.  not less than ten (10) calendar days' written notice of intent
             to terminate; and

         b.  An opportunity for consultation with the terminating party prior
             to termination.

2)  This Agreement may be terminated in whole or in part by the Customer for
    its convenience; but only after Subcontractor is given:

         a.  not less than ten (10) calendar days' written notice of intent
             to terminate; and

         b.  an opportunity for consultation with the Customer prior to

             services or other unperformed work.

4)  Upon receipt or delivery by Subcontractor of a termination notice,
    Subcontractor shall promptly discontinue all services affected (unless
    the notice directs otherwise) and deliver or otherwise make available to
    the Customer's representative, copies of all deliverables.

    employees of Customer assigned to the performance of this Agreement.

    obligations it is determined that Subcontractor has not so failed, the
    termination shall be deemed to have been effected for the convenience of
    the Customer.

    this section are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided
    by law or under this Agreement.

8)  Neither party shall be considered in default in the performance of its

    such party.  Delays arising from the actions or inactions of one or
    more of Subcontractor's principals, officers, employees, agents,
    Subcontractors, vendors or suppliers are expressly recognized to be
    within Subcontractor's control.

        5.    COVENANT AGAINST CONTINGENT FEES

        employed or retained to solicit or secure this Agreement upon an
        agreement or understanding for a commission, percentage, brokerage, or

        or violation of this warranty, the Customer shall have the right to
        annul this Agreement without liability or in its discretion to deduct
        from the Agreement price or consideration or otherwise recover the full
        amount of such commission, percentage, brokerage, or contingent fee.

        6.    GRATUITIES

A.      The Customer may, by written notice to Subcontractor, terminate this

        were offered or given by Subcontractor or any agent or representative
        of Subcontractor to any officer or employee of the Customer with a
        view toward securing a contract or securing favorable treatment with
        respect to the awarding or amending or making of any determinations
        with respect to the performance of this Agreement.

B.      In the event this Agreement is terminated as provided in paragraph 1
        hereof, the Customer shall be entitled:

              1.  to pursue the same remedies against Subcontractor as it
                  could pursue in the event of a breach of his Agreement by
                  Subcontractor; and

              2.  as a penalty in addition to any other damages to which it
                  may be entitled by law, to exemplary damages in an amount
                  (as determined by the Customer) which shall be not less
                  than three (3) nor more then ten (10) times the costs
                  incurred by Subcontractor in providing any such gratuities
                  to any such officer or employee.

C.       The rights and remedies of the Customer provided in this clause
         shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and
         remedies provided by law or under this Agreement.

         7.   COVENANT

         Subcontractor covenants that it presently has no interest and that
         it will not acquire any interest, direct or indirect, which would
         conflict in any manner or degree with the performance of services
         required to be performed under this Agreement.  Subcontractor further
         covenants, to its knowledge and ability, that in the performance of
         said services no person having any such interest shall be employed.

<PAGE>

       8.    ASSIGNMENT

       9.    OWNERSHIP

A.     Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Subcontractor retains

     CUSTOMER'S FISCAL LIMITATIONS

     a.   The content of this section shall apply to the entire Agreement and
          shall take precedence over any conflicting terms and conditions,
          and shall limit the Customer's financial responsibility as

     b.   Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, this
          Agreement shall terminate and Customer's obligations under it shall
          be extinguished at the end of the fiscal year in which the
          Customer's Governing Body fails to appropriate monies for the
          ensuing fiscal year sufficient for the payment of all amounts which
          will then become due.

     c.   Customer's total liability for all charges for services which may
          become due under this Agreement is limited to the total maximum
          expenditure(s) authorized in Customer's purchase order(s) to
          Contractor.

     11.  IMMUNITY FOR INCORRECT DATE GENERATION

     The Customer, its officers and employees shall be immune for any breach

     or generated by a computer or other information system that is owned or
     operated by the Customer, its officers or employees, regardless of the
     cause of the error (reference NRS 41.0321). In addition, Contractor
     shall not be liable for performance impacts or other damages that result
     from incorrect date or date related information that is first produced,

     entitled to a contract adjustment for increased costs and/or schedule
     impacts. The contract adjustment shall be limited to an amount within
     current unencumbered appropriations for the Project. The Customer shall

     accommodate contract adjustments that may result under this Section. In
     the event Contractor's performance is impacted by incorrect date or date
     related information that is first produced, calculated, or generated by
     a third party controlled system outside of Customer control, Contractor
     shall be entitled to schedule relief only. Such schedule relief shall
     include relief of any liquidated damages that might otherwise apply.

      such persons. IWS agrees to bar any person identified by COUNTY as a
      security risk from COUNTY'S offices.

4.    TRAINING
      The training of COUNTY personnel shall be the responsibility of IWS and
      shall include the training program presented in the Crime Capture System
      Training Outline, Exhibit D. COUNTY shall be responsible for identifying
      personnel requiring training and ensuring that


                                       COUNTY/IWS Agreement, Page 3
<PAGE>

      they are available for scheduled training. Training shall take place on
      dates mutually agreed upon by IWS and COUNTY. The training schedule
      presented in the Crime Capture System Training Outline, Exhibit D, may be
      revised only upon written request by COUNTY and acceptance of that request
      by IWS. All training provided directly by IWS shall be conducted on a

      paying the IWS training on-going rate.
      IWS shall develop and provide, in both electronic and printed format,
      procedural manuals containing all procedures, methods, documentation
      requirements, and techniques necessary for the successful use and
      operation of the SYSTEM. IWS agrees that COUNTY may reproduce this
      material for its internal use on an unlimited basis.

5.    ACCEPTANCE BY COUNTY
(a)   ACCEPTANCE TESTING
      After installation of the SYSTEM is complete, COUNTY'S operational
      personnel have been trained, and COUNTY'S REPRESENTATIVE agrees that the
      SYSTEM is functioning reliably, COUNTY will immediately commence a period
      of acceptance testing.

(b)   ACCEPTANCE
      COUNTY agrees to accept the SYSTEM after the SYSTEM has functioned
      reliably for thirty (30) consecutive days of acceptance testing.

      The system acceptance testing period will be considered successful if the
      requirements defined in the System Acceptance Testing, Exhibit-E, are
      satisfied.

      Formal sign-off of acceptance of the system will take place immediately
      after the successful completion of the system acceptance period.

      If, upon completion of the test period, the system and/or sub-system fails
      to satisfy the COUNTY operating criteria as defined by the documentation
      and specifications,


                                       COUNTY/IWS Agreement, Page 4
<PAGE>

      IWS agrees to immediately work with the COUNTY to resolve said problems,
      as documented by COUNTY, to provide functioning mug shot systems. A new
      acceptance period of 30 days shall then be established to allow for system
      testing after which the COUNTY shall provide IWS with written approval if
      accepted.  Should the second acceptance period a functioning application
      system IWS will perform continuous acceptance testing periods, but shall
      not exceed six (6) 30 day periods without written approval from the
      COUNTY.  The COUNTY's Sole Determiner reserves the right to terminate the
      AGREEMENT with IWS should the COUNTY DEEM further acceptance testing
      periods beyond the agreed term as unacceptable.

6.    COUNTY MODIFICATION OF EQUIPMENT
      COUNTY may connect equipment manufactured or supplied by other companies
      to the SYSTEM, including peripheral equipment, computers, communications
      equipment, and terminal devices, provided however, that IWS will not be
      held responsible for any damage and/or downtime that may occur.  COUNTY
      agrees to give thirty days notice to IWS of the specific equipment to be
      connected to the SYSTEM. Within 20 days of receiving such notice, IWS
      will notify COUNTY whether such equipment is likely to interfere with
      IWS's ability to perform maintenance.

8.    WARRANTIES
(a)   HARDWARE
      IWS warrants that all major components of the SYSTEM HARDWARE are new at
      the time of installation and will operate in conformity with its
      documentation provided by IWS for a period of three (3) months after

      IWS, at its sole option, will repair, modify or replace the failed
      component(s) in a timely manner at no additional cost to COUNTY.

(b)   SOFTWARE
      IWS warrants that the Software will operate in conformity with its
      documentation. In the event of any non-conformity for a period of three

      repair so that the Software conforms to its documentation.

(c)   YEAR 2000 WARRANTY


                                       COUNTY/IWS Agreement, Page 5
<PAGE>

      IWS warrants that any Software Product furnished by IWS pursuant to this
      Agreement shall support a four-digit year format and be able to accurately
      process date and tie data from, into, and between the twentieth and
      twenty-first centuries, and the years 1999 and 2000, as well as leap year
      calculations. For purposes of this section, "Software Product" shall
      include, without limitation, any piece or component of equipment,
      hardware, firmware, middleware, custom or commercial software, or internal
      components of subroutines therein together with update, upgrades and
      enhancements on same. This warranty shall survive termination or
      expiration of this Agreement.

      In the event of any decrease in Software Product functionality or accuracy
      related to time and/or date related codes and/or internal subroutines that
      impede the Software Product from operating correctly using dates beyond
      December 31, 1999, IWS shall restore or repair the Software Product to the
      same level of functionality as warranted herein, so as to minimize
      interruption to COUNTY'S ongoing business processes, time being of the
      essence. In the event that such warranty compliance requires the
      acquisition of additional programs, the expense for any such associated or
      additional acquisitions that may be required, including without
      limitations, data conversion tools shall be borne exclusively by IWS.

      Nothing in this warranty shall be construed to limit any rights or
      remedies the COUNTY may otherwise have under this AGREEMENT with respect
      to defects other than the Year 2000 performance. IWS shall obtain the same
      assurances from all other suppliers whose products IWS relies upon for
      operation of IWS's software and shall furnish them to COUNTY upon request.

      IWS warrants that the SYSTEM is "Millennium Compliant". For the purpose of
      this warranty a "Millennium Compliant" product is such that accurately
      processes date data (including, but not limited to: calculating, comparing
      and sequencing dates), from, into and between the twentieth and
      twenty-first centuries, the years 1999 and 2000, and leap year
      calculations, when used in accordance with its product documentation, and
      provided that all other products used in combination with the product
      properly exchange data with it.

(c)   DISCLAIMER
      EXCEPT FOR THESE EXPRESSED LIMITED WARRANTIES, IWS MAKES NO WARRANTIES,
      EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR IN ANY COMMUNICATION WITH COUNTY, AND IWS
      EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR
      A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

9.    PRODUCT AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT
      IWS will provide COUNTY with diagnostic software and manuals necessary to
      operate and maintain the SYSTEM, including schematics, diagnostic and
      maintenance manuals as provided by the manufacturer. During the warranty
      period IWS will support the System without any cost to the Entity. After
      the warranty period, IWS agrees to offer maintenance, customer and product
      support for the SYSTEM for at least five years after installation subject
      to COUNTY entering into an IWS Maintenance Agreement during that five
      years. IWS will provide a copy of its current Maintenance Agreement to
      COUNTY. Any such Maintenance Agreement is


                                       COUNTY/IWS Agreement, Page 6
<PAGE>

      optional for COUNTY and requires COUNTY to pay an additional fee. IWS
      reserves the right to modify the terms and fees of its standard
      Maintenance Agreement at any time.

10.   LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
(a)   MAXIMUM LIABILITY
      UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL IWS'S LIABILITY TO COUNTY EXCEED THE AMOUNTS
      PAID BY COUNTY TO IWS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

(b)   LIMITATION
      IN NO EVENT WILL IWS HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR
      CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOST
      PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA OR COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR
      SERVICES, ARISING UNDER ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, WARRANTY,
      STRICT LIABILITY OR TORT, WHETHER OR NOT IWS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
      POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING
      THE FAILURE OF THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.

11.   TERMINATION; BREACH
(a)   TERMINATION
      Either party may terminate this AGREEMENT upon a breach by the other party
      which is not cured in a timely manner as provided for in sub-section (b)

      fulfilling all of their obligations under it.

(b)   BREACH
      In the event of any material breach of this AGREEMENT by either party, the
      aggrieved party must give written notice thereof, including a reasonably
      detailed statement of the nature of such breach, to the breaching party.
      The breaching party has thirty (30) days to cure such breach. In the case
      of a breach that cannot reasonably be cured within 30 days, the breaching
      party will provide a written estimate of the time needed to cure such
      breach, will commence to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of
      notice from the aggrieved party, and will diligently continue to cure such
      breach to completion. If the breaching party fails to cure, to commence
      cure, or diligently prosecute such cure to completion, the aggrieved party
      shall be entitled to suspend its performance under this AGREEMENT for as

      IWS agrees to deposit the source code, documentation and related materials
      for the System (DEPOSIT MATERIALS) with an Escrow Agent subject to COUNTY
      entering into an IWS Software Escrow Agreement. The DEPOSIT MATERIALS will
      be made available to the COUNTY for the purposes of self support if
      certain events named in the IWS Software Escrow Agreement occur. IWS will
      provide a copy of its current Software Escrow Agreement to COUNTY in
      Exhibit F. Any such Software Escrow Agreement is optional for COUNTY and
      requires COUNTY to sign and accept the terms of the Software Escrow
      Agreement.

(c)   INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
      IWS is an independent contractor. The manner in which the work is to be
      performed will be controlled by IWS; however, the nature of the work and
      the results to be achieved shall be


                                       COUNTY/IWS Agreement, Page 8
<PAGE>

      specified by COUNTY. IWS is not an employee or agent of COUNTY and has no
      authority to make any binding commitments or obligations on behalf of
      COUNTY except to the extent expressly provided herein.

(d)   DELAY
      In the event COUNTY causes delay in the installation, testing or
      acceptance of the SYSTEM, or some part of it, whether the delay is (i)
      ordered by COUNTY, (ii) the result of COUNTY'S failure to perform its
      installation responsibilities, (iii) caused by incompatibility with
      computer programs or equipment not furnished by IWS, or (iv) because of
      other actions by COUNTY, COUNTY will pay to IWS an amount based upon the
      Time and Materials IWS on-going rate in addition of all expenses incurred
      by IWS as a result of the delay.

(e)   CHANGE ORDERS
      IWS agrees to modify the SYSTEM or installation procedures, if requested
      to do so by COUNTY, and such modifications will not affect the validity of
      this AGREEMENT.  If the modifications result in an increase in the amount
      of the work required by IWS or in the cost of SYSTEM HARDWARE or SOFTWARE,
      the parties agree that an appropriate price adjustment will be made.  All
      modifications will be in writing signed by IWS and COUNTY'S REPRESENTATIVE
      and will describe the change and the cost, if any, of the modification.

(f)   RISK OF LOSS OR DAMAGE
      IWS will bear all risk of loss or damage to SYSTEM HARDWARE and SOFTWARE
      until delivered to COUNTY'S location. After the SYSTEM HARDWARE and
      SOFTWARE are delivered, COUNTY bears all risk of loss or damage, except
      loss or damage attributable to IWS negligence, defects that COUNTY could
      not reasonably have discovered prior to Acceptance, or IWS breach of this
      AGREEMENT.

(g)   FORCE MAJEURE
      Any delays in or failure of performance by IWS or COUNTY, except for the
      obligation to make payments, will not constitute default under this
      AGREEMENT to the extent the delays or failure of performance is caused by
      occurrences beyond the control of IWS or COUNTY, including, but not
      limited to, acts of God or public enemy, expropriation or confiscation of
      facilities, compliance with any order or request of any governmental
      authority, act of war, rebellion or sabotage, fires, floods, explosions,
      earthquakes, accidents, or riots.

(h)   TAXES
      COUNTY shall be responsible for payment of any sales, use, withholding or
      other similar taxes (other than taxes based on IWS's net income) which may
      be imposed on the payments due under this AGREEMENT and shall promptly
      reimburse IWS for any such taxes (including interest, penalties and
      additions to tax with respect thereto), whether such taxes are included
      with the purchase price shown on Exhibit-A or imposed in the future.
      COUNTY warrants that it is a tax exempt organization and that IWS is
      therefore not responsible for payment of any personal property taxes for
      property in the possession of COUNTY on the date of assessment.

(i)   INDEMNITY


                                       COUNTY/IWS Agreement, Page 9
<PAGE>

(1)   OBLIGATIONS -- COUNTY:
      COUNTY agrees to protect and hold IWS harmless from any and all claims,
      suits, actions and procedures brought or filed by third parties and from
      all damages, penalties, losses, costs and expenses (including attorney's
      fees) arising out of, or related to, any act or omission of COUNTY, its
      employees, or agents.

(2)   OBLIGATIONS -- IWS
      IWS agrees to protect and hold COUNTY harmless from any and all claims,
      suits, actions and procedures brought or filed by third parties and from
      all damages, penalties, losses, costs and expenses (including attorney's
      fees) arising out of, or related to, any act or omission of IWS, its
      employees, or agents.

      In addition IWS agrees to protect and hold COUNTY harmless from any claims
      brought against COUNTY alleging that the SYSTEM SOFTWARE infringes a 3rd
      party's patents or copyright, provided that IWS is notified promptly by
      COUNTY of any such claim (including any threatened claim) and IWS has sole
      control of the defense with respect to such claims. The preceding
      indemnification by IWS will not apply to any claim based, in whole or in
      part, on any modification of the SOFTWARE made by any person other than
      IWS. If a final injunction is issued, or, IWS believes, is likely to be
      entered, prohibiting the use of the SOFTWARE by COUNTY, IWS will, at its
      sole discretion and expense, either: (i) procure for COUNTY the right to
      use the SOFTWARE as provided herein, (ii) replace the SOFTWARE with
      non-infringing, functionally equivalent product; (iii) suitably modify the
      SOFTWARE so that it is not infringing and provides similar functionality;
      or (iv) accept return of the SOFTWARE and refund the purchase price. IWS'S
      LIABILITY FOR ANY INFRINGING SOFTWARE IS STRICTLY LIMITED TO THE
      FOREGOING.

(j)   INSURANCE; WORKERS' COMPENSATION COVERAGE
      IWS will maintain and require all of its subcontractors, consultants and
      other agents to maintain, insurance as follows: (i) Workers' Compensation
      insurance with statutory limits as required by the Labor Code of the
      State of California, and (ii) Commercial general liability insurance
      covering bodily injury and property damage using an occurrence policy form
      in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) combined
      single limit for each occurrence.

Kitsap County                    Digital Mug SYSTEM


1.  EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ImageWare Software, Inc. (IWS) is very pleased to be able to offer the Crime
Capture System-Registered Trademark- (CCS) digital booking system to Kitsap
County Sheriffs Office. In addition to CCS, we are also offering additional
investigative software at no cost.

ImageWare Software, Inc., a San Diego, California based company, is a leader
and innovator in the emerging technology of PC-based digital imaging, with
its primary focus on law enforcement software. It has recently been awarded a
contract by the State of Arizona and is being praised for its performance.
The Arizona Department of Public Safety enjoys a powerful network of photo
and data information, no server down time to date. It seamlessly interfaces
with several disparate systems and provides a smooth and synchronized data
flow throughout. Very recently, in partnership with NEC and PRC/Litton, IWS
was awarded the digital imaging contract for Las Vegas Metro PD.

One year ago, ImageWare acquired XImage Corporation, a San Jose, California
based company also specializing in law enforcement software. XImage
Corporation is a company strong in the installation and management of very
large booking installations. The company has developed its products using Sun
SPARC servers and workstations on a UNIX operating system. Its flagship
installation is New York City Police Department as well as Henepin County MN
(Minneapolis), Indianapolis PD and Portland Police Bureau. The NYC system,
spans 76 precincts in 5 boroughs, including 100 capture stations and
redundant central servers. XImage/ImageWare has a large customer support
staff with 24 hours a day, 7 days a week availability.

ImageWare and XImage combined to form a company that is strong, technically
proficient, and leading the way in the development of tools for the law
enforcement industry. The skills of one company compliment those of the
other. The strengths and experience of XImage will enable the new joint
company to bypass many pitfalls, while enabling the introduction of new
Windows based products based on the strengths and experience of ImageWare.
The merger of these two companies, combined with the financial backing of
J. P. Morgan Financial ensures the highest quality products and services for
many years to come.

CCS runs on the Microsoft Windows operating system, specifically Windows 95,
98 and Windows NT 4.0. We configure systems using all IBM components,
ensuring our customers of state-of-the-art architecture, durability, and
reliability. By teaming with IBM as a business partner, ImageWare can and
does offer the highest quality PC products, systems software, and customer
service available. PC platforms being used include multiple Pentium Pro
processor servers, redundant servers, Xeon processors and Pentium II capture
and investigative workstations. In many cases, current hardware can be
utilized and hardware may be purchased off existing County contracts.

CONFIDENTIAL                         BID REQUEST                      04/01/99
Kitsap County                    Digital Mug System


IWS core products are Crime Capture System (CCS), and Face ID-Registered
Trademark- (FID). CCS is a powerful flexible and easy to use digital booking,
identification and retrieval system. Face ID-Registered Trademark- is a
state-of-the-art facial recognition and retrieval program that is leading the
way in the identification of arrestees and suspects. Face ID integrates with
both ImageWare's and Ximage's booking systems, giving the company a very
distinct and unique product line.

The proposed Crime Capture System (Digital Booking System) is one of five
modules in a suite called C.R.I.M.E.S. The other modules are Suspect
ID-Registered Trademark-, a photo-realistic composite program, Crime
Lab-Registered Trademark-, a fundamental image enhancement and editing
program, Vehicle ID-TM-, a photobased vehicle searching program, and Face
ID-TM-.


SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The proposed Crime Capture System will include a powerful central mug and
data server that interfaces with both the County's RMS and JMS. The system
includes 2 capture stations and 2 investigative stations with the ability to
add more as necessary. The entire system is fully Year 2000 compliant and
meets all ANSI/NIST standards. The system is capable of transmitting standard
NIST data packets to the State CIB. All requirements outlined will be met
unless expressly noted.

Facial Recognition can also be added to the server at a later date, without
the need to upgrade hardware or do costly conversions. Face ID-Registered
Trademark- fully integrates with CCS and used in conjunction with the other
C.R.I.M.E.S. modules, your agencies will have a very powerful and effective
arsenal of tools to solve crime.

The proposal calls for a full integration between the new Intergraph RMS and
JMS. The purpose of the first interface is to avoid duplicate entry of data.
Typically this is accomplished via flat file transfer. Upon completion of a
record within the RMS a flat text file is created and placed in a shared
directory. CCS polls this directory and when a file is recognized, it is
instantly imported into CCS and populates its fields. Any adds, edits or
deletions are done with the RMS and carried through to CCS. Both databases
stay synchronized at all times.

In addition, we will provide a custom API that will enable the RMS to display
a photo upon a record query within the RMS. The exact definition of this API
and interface is yet to be defined and further discussions are forthcoming
with Intergraph. Also, there will be an interface that enables the JMS to
display whether or not a photo has been associated with an individual.

The proposal also includes the conversion of the existing 60,000 images and
data. These mugshots and data should be delivered to IWS prior to system
installation. The database should be delivered on an agreed upon medium, with
images in JPG individual files, the data file in comma delimited format, and a
file layout included.

Nissan County                 Digital Mug System


The system components will connect to the existing LAN network directly, with
each agency or the county being responsible to provide LAN connections for the
new equipment. The operating system for the central server will be Microsoft
Windows NT 4.0, and Windows NT Workstation for each capture workstation. The
protocol will be TCP/IP. All connections to either the network or additional
devices will be industry standard connections.

Maintenance will be provided for the system 7 days a week, 24 hours a day,
with 1 hour call back response, and 24 hour on-site response.

The C.R.I.M.E.S. suite of software is modular in design. It is possible to
add, upgrade, or replace software modules in the system with relative ease.
Modules included in the C.R.I.M.E.S. suite of software are Suspect ID, a
photo-realistic composite program, Crime Lab, a sophisticated image
enhancement and editing program, Vehicle ID , a photo-based program to help
quickly identify vehicles, Crime Capture System, a flexible easy-to-use
digital booking system, and Face ID, a state-of-the-art facial recognition
and retrieval program.

The system will have the capability of interfacing with any other agency
electronically either via the network or modem, and send and receive
information from other cooperating criminal justice agencies as long as these
agencies comply with NIST standards for mugshot and SMT image transmission.

The Crime Capture System does include a store and forward ability, that is
transparent to the operator. The location capture station will display either
Online or Off-line (to the central server), and if Off-line, will start
accumulating data onto the local hard drive. When the network is again
available, the records are forwarded to the central server without any
operator intervention or downtime.

System security will make use of both operating system permissions as well as
database software security. This will allow access to certain functions and
data to be controlled by the system administrator. These privileges and
permissions will be given and controlled by user login. There will be an
administrative function available only to the system administrator, where
these permissions and privileges are maintained.


CENTRAL SERVER

The central server system will consist of an IBM Netfinity 3000. A UPS will
protect the system from power fluctuations and momentary outages. The system
will have a redundant power supply. The server will be equipped with a modem
and remote diagnostic software, allowing for quicker response and problem
resolution. The server is a high performance 450 MHz Pentium II system, with
a RAID V hot swap drive array. It is sized with today's performance and
tomorrow's growth in mind. Installing a RAID V system allows the storage of
business-critical data with confidence. The capture stations are high
performance systems as well, taking into account that end user acceptance
depends on system performance. The system also includes a

tape drive for back-ups and a CD ROM Drive. Data archive and backup can be
accomplished online.

The central server wi11 not execute any client applications, meaning all
searches, viewing, and printing or data from the mugshot database must be
accomplished via either a capture or investigative station. Only the server
portion of the ImageWare applications will execute from the central server
systems.

The central server Crime Capture application software will have the ability
to both receive and send photo mugshots using the NIST standard type 1, 2,
and 10 records. The software will also send and receive the appropriate NIST
message in acknowledgment of the receipt or transmittal.

The central server will have an archive function available to allow the
off-loading of records, including images and demographic data, by date range
and control number. It is sized for the conversion of the existing 60,000
images and an additional 80,000 images over the next 5 years.

The central server will log off any station that is presently logged in but
has not had activity for some user defined time period (e.g. 5 minutes).

The central server's RAID storage system will implement a level 5 method,
which provides a very high fault tolerant data storage system while not
degrading performance. A separate hardware controller, the IBM ServeRAID II
disk controller, will implement the RAID technology.


CAPTURE STATIONS

There will be two Capture Stations, each will consist of an IBM PC 300PL
computer with Pentium II processor, 64 MB RAM and 6.4 GB of internal hard
disk storage. Each capture station will be equipped with a CD ROM drive, 1.44
floppy disk drive, 17" monitor and keyboard. The system will include a
network interface card. The camera subsystem will also be included, with the
capture card installed inside the PC housing, and the camera connected to the
capture card. The camera and capture card will meet or exceed all NIST
standards for the collection of mugshot photos. The camera will have remote
pan and tilt capability.

Software included with the capture station will allow for the live video
viewing of the arrestee, with the ability to capture a still image of the
arrestee from this on-screen viewing.

The mug photo database can be searched using the arrestee's demographic
information, for example, last name and date of birth, to find other records
for this arrestee. If and when Face ID is added, the operator will also be
able to compare a new arrestee's photo with those previously stored in the
mug photo database strictly by facial characteristics. This feature
eliminates both aliases and duplicate images.

Each capture station will have the ability to store both images and
associated demographic data locally if the network connection is unavailable.
When the network is restored and the central server database is accessible,
those locally stored records will be transmitted to the central server.

The software will allow for a flag to be associated with each booking at the
time the mug photo is taken, with those flags being user definable including
arrests, juveniles, etc. All such flags necessary for the ENTITY operations
must be designated during the specifications gathering phase.

The software will allow the operator to view the captured image and either
reject or accept it at that time. The system will accept an unlimited number
of photos per booking record.

All images taken for a particular booking will be associated with a specific
file, or record, and will store the date and time it was recorded. Other
booking records may be linked to this booking if this is a repeat offender.

The input of demographic, or descriptive data will be available from
user-maintained lists, organized in any order the customer chooses. The user
will also be able to input free form text comments, including unusual
characteristics. All these descriptive data fields will be searchable.
Initial data will be populated via RMS interface. There will be a synchronous
data system with a smooth data flow and no duplicate entry. All creates, edits
or deletions in the RMS will be carried throughout the system.

Photos captured can be multiple views of the arrestee, and photos of all
scars, marks, and tattoos (SMT). Property, Evidence and Crime Scene
photographs can also be attached to each record. All photos taken will be
linked to the booking record. This record can be found in multiple ways;
searching by demographic data, using a photo and searching with Face ID, or
accessing the records by the booking number or other identifying numbers.

The location of the scar, mark, or tattoo on the body will be chosen from a
user-maintained list of choices. There will be a description field for each
SMT, where any words on the tattoo can be entered as free form text
information, and other descriptive information about the SMT can be entered.
Whether a photo of the SMT is taken or not, the description of the SMT can be
entered.


INVESTIGATIVE WORKSTATION

The proposal includes software for 2 investigative workstations. Searches may
be accomplished using NCIC standard demographic codes, from user maintained
tables.

The software will create photo line-ups with a specified amount of images.
The Crime Capture System will retrieve and display the images of all subjects
with characteristics that match, or substantially match, those of the line-up
subject. The user will be able to select or reject from the

images retrieved, that together with the subject's constitute the line-up.
The line-up will be random ordered, and may be saved for future retrieval.
These photo line-ups are also printable. In addition, the investigative
workstations provide the following features:

     -    Portions of an image may be 'roped' for enlargement for viewing
          purposes.
     -    The print function is available for any image with its associated
          demographic data.
     -    The search function includes very flexible ad hoc inquiries,
          including many boolean logic functions, including AND, OR, GREATER
          THAN, LESS THAN, EQUAL TO, etc.
     -    Each agency will be able to search the database and obtain
          information about the total number of bookings by date, by officer
          ID, by charge code, etc.
     -    Any text fields entered into a booking record will be searchable,
          including any comment fields.
     -    Fields describing SMT data will be searchable.
     -    Images of SMT are printable, either color or black and white.
     -    The search software will process hyphenated and/or multiple last,
          first, and middle names correctly.
     -    The search software will use 'soundex' to find similar named
          individuals.

     Investigative workstations will have the ability to scan photos into
     the system, import them, and link them with booking records. For
     example, crime scene photos can be imported into booking records, as
     well as weapons photos, vehicle photos, residence photos, year book
     photos, etc.

HISTORY

Incorporated in 1987, ImageWare initially focused on the entertainment industry.
The company's patented imaging technology was first used in photo imaging kiosks
at theme parks and tourist attractions in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Japan and
the United Kingdom. The kiosks produced People Postcards!-Registered Trademark-
by superimposing customers' images onto amusing or picturesque backgrounds.

At the 1992 COMDEX Show, ImageWare introduced its first retail product,
ImageWizard-Registered Trademark- At the show, the revolutionary image
manipulation and processing program was nominated one of the "Best New Software
Programs" of the year. ImageWizard was the first application to incorporate
multiple image objects for fast and easy image enhancement and editing. In early
1994, ImageWare released a companion program to ImageWizard called
MorphWizard-Registered Trademark-. A powerful morphing application, MorphWizard
allows users to manipulate and force transformations between multiple images.
Both ImageWizard and MorphWizard sold domestically and in Japan through Canon
Sales Co.

Concurrent with the release of MorphWizard, ImageWare shifted its focus from the
entertainment and retail markets to the institutional law enforcement arena. The
C.R.I.M.E.S. (Crime Reduction, Image Management and Enhancement System),
software suite was unveiled in October 1994.

Since 1994, ImageWare has placed software in over 650 law enforcement agencies
around the country and internationally. Currently, there are over 100
departments using either XImage or ImageWare mug photo systems, with more coming
on-line every day.

17. Provide "soundex" search capability for the following fields, where a value

20. Include a count of the number of records that match the query criteria

21. Allow ranges of search criteria to be specified on the user's search

22. Allow default range preferences to be configured so that a user can
    enter a specific height and weight, and the system will automatically
    search a height range "-plus or minus" a specific number of inches,
    and a weight range "plus or minus" a specific number of pounds.          N

    THE DEFAULT TOLERANCE IS ZERO.

23. At the time of a new booking, the booking officer can select a
    previous booking for the current inmate and the system will
    automatically carry that information over into the new booking,
    in order to avoid re-entering characteristics that have already been
    entered before. Then the booking officer can make any modifications
    that are necessary for the new booking.                                  N

47. Capture each action a witness takes to review the lineup, so that
    the viewing can be recreated by the system later on.                     N

    THE AUDIT TRAIL SAVES THE FACT THAT A LINEUP WAS CREATED, BY WHOM
    AND WHEN, BUT IT DOES NOT SAVE THE PROCESS THAT IT TOOK TO CREATE
    THE LINE-UP. THE USER CAN ALSO SAVE THE LINEUP ITSELF.

48. Allow a witness to enter some response and/or comments to the photos
    that's saved by the system.                                              N

    MAY BE MADE TO THESE FORMATS AT NO CHARGE. IF ADDITIONAL FORMATS
    ARE REQUIRED, IWS WILL CREATE THEM FOR $500 EACH. IF IT IS JUST A
    CHANGE TO ONE OF THE 7 STANDARD FORMATS THEN IT WILL COST $250
    MAXIMUM. THIS PROPOSAL ALSO INCLUDES AN ADDITIONAL 4 PRINT FORMATS

3. EXPERIENCE & REFERENCES

ImageWare Software, Inc. has proven its ability to successfully complete
projects of the size and magnitude as the Kitsap County system, with the
state-wide implementation in the state of Arizona. ImageWare is committed to the
law enforcement industry, and to providing tools for the quick resolution of
crime. This is evident by the development of the C.R.I.M.E.S.-Registered
Trademark- suite of modules. C.R.I.M.E.S. is designed to be a tool kit of
software for law enforcement to use in the quick, effective, and safe resolution
of crime cases.

C.R.I.M.E.S. SUITE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT PRODUCTS

         C.R.I.M.E.S. is a modular family of affordable, easy-to-use software
applications that aid law enforcement with the criminal investigative process.
Currently there are five Windows-TM- based C.R.I.M.E.S. modules; Suspect ID,
Crime Lab, Vehicle ID, Face ID and the Crime Capture System. Over the next two
years, ImageWare plans to add additional modules to the C.R.I.M.E.S. software
family. Included will be videotape enhancement, face aging, crime scene
diagramming, forgery analysis and evidence storage. The multiple module system
is fully integrated so information entered into one module is reflected in all
others, thus eliminating the time and expense required to interface programs
designed by different software companies.

SUSPECT ID-Registered Trademark-
         Suspect ID is the composite module of the C.R.I.M.E.S. software family.
Using an online cognitive interview process, officers, witnesses and victims
can accurately create full color, photo-realistic suspect composites within
minutes. The digital composites are constructed from catalogs of facial
features. The catalogs are comprised of actual photographs, not hand drawn
sketches, so composites from Suspect ID look like people, not like pencil
sketches.

         The Suspect ID module was designed specifically for use by law
enforcement agencies. Even officers with little or no computer knowledge or
artistic talent can complete a suspect composite simply by pointing and clicking
with a mouse. Suspect ID is a standard PC-based software application that can be
installed on a laptop computer and taken into the field, allowing officers to
conduct interviews before the witnesses' and victims' memories fade. For rapid
identification, officers can distribute completed composites within minutes via
radio, fax or e-mail.

CRIME LAB-Registered Trademark-
         The second module of the C.R.I.M.E.S. family, Crime Lab, is a
sophisticated image enhancement and editing program used to fulfill a host of
investigative imaging needs such as updating old photos, creating
non-prejudicial line-ups, removing distracting backgrounds and enhancing
surveillance videos.

VEHICLE ID-TM-
         Vehicle ID is a revolutionary photo-based software program that
helps officers quickly identify and disseminate vehicle information for the
purpose of locating a stolen car or a vehicle involved in a crime. Vehicle
ID's comprehensive database of over 1,000 vehicles can be searched by
features, description, or VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). To ensure a
more accurate identification, vehicles matching the query description can be
viewed from front, rear, side or three quarter angles. The program also
includes a custom paint shop for depicting the exact color of the vehicle. A
color copy of the suspect vehicle can then be produced and immediately
broadcast, printed or faxed to officers in the field to quickly apprehend
suspected criminals.

         Information from NICB's (National Insurance Crime Bureau) VINassist-TM-
program has been incorporated into Vehicle ID, enabling officers to obtain
images of vehicles based on VIN translation codes. This feature helps officers
identify stolen vehicles in cases of switched VINs.

FACE ID-TM-
         Face ID is a state-of-the-art facial recognition and retrieval program
that helps officers positively identify both unknown suspects and criminals with
multiple aliases. Suspect images that have been captured on a surveillance
video, suspect composite or photograph can be searched against any digital
database of faces. This powerful investigative tool can also be used at the time
of booking to immediately identify criminals with multiple aliases. In addition,
the program's face averaging capability allows a witness to search for a suspect
by "averaging" those photos that have features similar to those of the actual
suspect. Rather than having a witness look through a database one photo at a
time, the detective can utilize the face averaging capability to dramatically
speed up the identification process.

CRIME CAPTURE SYSTEM-TM-
         Crime Capture System is a flexible, easy-to-use, and affordable digital
imaging solution for automated capture, storage and retrieval of booking images
and related information. The Crime Capture System utilizes off-the-shelf
hardware that complies with open industry standards and easily integrates with
an agency's records or AFIS system (Automated Fingerprint Identification
System). Utilizing client/server architecture, the Crime Capture System can
operate on an array of systems ranging from a stand-alone PC to a wide area
network.

Kitsap County                 Digital Mug System


IWS has installed investigative software in more than 650 departments
throughout the country whose needs are similar, if not exact to those of
Kitsap County. All of the following receive 24 hour customer support with
four hour on-site response time.

ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY

DESCRIPTION OF INSTALLED SYSTEM AND ITS FEATURES:
Central Server is IBM Netfinity server, dual host cluster, with automatic
fail-over in case of one system failure. Shared disk array with RAID level 5
implemented. 15 county intake facilities, with both capture and investigative
Crime Capture System workstations. 2 additional sites at county court
facilities. Features include an interface with the Identix live-scan device,
taking all demographic data, creating the record and populating the data
fields, making the image capture portion the only step required by the
operator. All information and images are immediately available for all other
investigative workstations on the network. Arizona DPS has also recently
issued a purchase order for the addition of Face ID-TM- to be added to the
central server. Each county can then purchase the client software and conduct
facial recognition searches using images or composites produced by
Suspect ID-TM-. Crime Lab-TM-was also included in each investigative
workstation.

FACT SHEET
The State of Arizona in an effort to consolidate images and booking information,
has contracted with ImageWare Software, Inc. to install a statewide digital
mugshot repository called Mug Photo Interface (MPI). In those locations that are
part of the system, the booking process begins at the Identix livescan station
where an operator captures the suspect's fingerprints and enters required
demographic and biographical information. Once the information is entered into
the livescan system, the data automatically transfers to the MPI system via a
common linking number. At the MPI capture station, additional mandatory
information is recorded, and digital images of the suspect are taken. Upon
completion of a record, the information is immediately transmitted via the
AZAFIS network to a central repository housed at the Department of Public
Safety. At this point, the data is readily available for searching purposes by
any agency in the state which has access to the database.

An ImageWare supplied investigative station is used to perform several
functions including quick and advanced searches for querying the database,
mugbook searches and views for witness identification of a suspect, line-ups,
and in the near future, facial recognition which is used to identify unknown
suspects and criminals.

HARDWARE
Central Site: 2 IBM Netfinity Servers running in a clustered environment and
sharing a RAID level 5 array of 82 GB for database storage. Each server has 4
Pentium Pro Processors, 1 GB of RAM memory and 13 GB of internal system disk
space. The system drives are mirrored. If the active server fails to reset a
heartbeat, the failover takes place automatically, and the drive array fails
over to the control of the now active server. There is dial in capability for
diagnostic purposes. The operating system is Windows NT Server 4.0 Enterprise
Edition with Microsoft Cluster Server.

Capture & Investigative Stations: Each Investigative Station is an IBM 300XL
PC with 64MB RAM and 6.1 GB of hard disk storage. The capture camera is a
Pulnix TMC-73M with a Computar zoom lens. The camera and lens are mounted on
a Hitachi pan and tilt device. The capture card is an Integral Technology
MV-Pro. The camera is mounted on it's side to accommodate the NIST Best
Practice Recommendations and proprietary software does a rotation of the
video live feed before it is displayed by the graphics card. Printing and
scanning take place on an Epson Stylus 800 printer and an Epson 636
Expressions scanner (SCSI connection). The operating system is Windows NT
Workstation 4.0. Each capture and investigative station is connected to the
central servers via a wide area network utilizing Ethernet and TCP/IP
protocol. Each station runs client software that connects to the central
server's database.

                            FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
    ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY AWARDS STATEWIDE MUG PHOTO INTERFACE
                    CONTRACT TO IMAGEWARE SOFTWARE, INC.

      IMAGEWARE'S CRIME CAPTURE SYSTEM-TM- TO HELP ARIZONA LAW ENFORCEMENT
                         AGENCIES APPREHEND CRIMINALS.

         San Diego, California - January 15, 1998 - After an extensive
evaluation process, the State of Arizona announced Wednesday that they had
awarded the Arizona Statewide Digital Mug Photo Interface Contract to
ImageWare Software, Inc. The contract is expected to exceed one million
dollars and is the first contract of its kind to be awarded for a statewide
mugshot system. "We are very pleased to provide Arizona law enforcement with
a complete solution for their mug photo needs," says Jim Miller, President
and CEO of ImageWare Software, Inc.. "We feel the Crime Capture System will
provide a quantum leap forward for the State."

         Under the terms of the contract, the State of Arizona will utilize
ImageWare's Crime Capture System (CCS), a state-of-the-art digital booking,
identification and retrieval program. The main CCS database will be housed at
the Arizona Department of Public Safety. Seventeen sites will be capable of
capturing mugshots, SMT (scars, marks, and tattoos) photos, and descriptive
data for each suspect they arrest. Each remote site will also receive an
investigative workstation capable of searching and viewing the mugshot
database and creating photo line-ups. Once information is entered into the
remote database, the central repository is immediately updated allowing all
agencies access to the most recent information. Officers and Detectives will
no longer have to spend hundreds of hours searching through file cabinets of
photographs to identify a suspect or generate a photo line-up, instead they
will use CCS's central repository and systematically search the digital
database of images for similarities between suspects, thus speeding up case
processing. The new CCS system will also interface directly with the existing
Arizona Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AZAFIS) network.

         The State of Arizona and ImageWare have agreed to an aggressive
implementation schedule which will have the system fully operational by June
1998. Once the first phase is complete, there are plans to move forward with
the implementation of additional C.R.I.M.E.S.-TM- modules including: Suspect
ID-Registered Trademark- (a composite program), Crime Lab-Registered
Trademark- (an image enhancement and edit program), Vehicle ID-TM- (a vehicle
identification program), and what Ben Armstrong, the Lead Business Analyst
with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office considers, "one of the most
promising law enforcement tools," Face ID-TM- (a facial recognition program).
All of these modules combined will create a fully integrated law enforcement
solution for the State of Arizona.

         San Diego-based ImageWare Software, Inc. is a leader and innovator
in PC-based digital imaging, with its primary focus on law enforcement
software. Through its growing family of C.R.I.M.E.S. software modules,
ImageWare is effectively assisting in the resolution of crime worldwide.
Currently, the five C.R.I.M.E.S. modules are being used by more than 500 law
enforcement agencies worldwide. ImageWare Software, Inc. is privately held.

                              THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC

              POLICE SING PRAISES OF NEW STATEWIDE MUG SHOT SYSTEM
                    Published on Saturday, September 12, 1998

Byline:  By Judi Villa, The Arizona Republic

In seconds, a suspect's booking mug can be seen by law enforcement agencies
throughout the state. A few computer keystrokes, and a detective can have more
pictures than he'll ever need for a photographic lineup. And if there is no
suspect, that same detective can type in a physical description and get a list
of potential bad guys in no time.

Welcome to the Mug Photo Interface, a subsystem of the Arizona Automated
Fingerprint Identification System. MPI uses electronic imaging to capture mug
shot photos and transmit them immediately to a statewide image database operated
by the state Department of Public Safety. "It is going to revolutionize (police
work) just like fingerprints did," said Clyde Tess, a crime lab supervisor with
the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. "It'll solve cases faster. It'll help in
identifying suspects faster. "If a suspect is entered into the database in
Phoenix then goes down to Tucson and commits a crime, the victim can identify
the suspect the same day. Before an agency would have to send a photo or fax it.
Faxes aren't always that good, and the mail takes a day or two.
This is instant."

The MPI system went online Thursday in 10 counties. The first booking mug was
entered by the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office in Nogales. "It's pretty
nice," said Ramon Villela, a detention officer in Nogales. "It's going to make
our jobs easier and faster, and the detectives are going to be able to do
lineups faster."

Arizona's program, funded by a grant from the Arizona Criminal Justice
Enhancement Fund, will be one of the most progressive in the country,
officials say. Although some cities, including San Diego and Boston, have
limited imaging databases, only Arkansas has a statewide system. And that one
collects information from only six sites. Seven more sites, including police
departments in Mesa, Tempe, Phoenix, Scottsdale and Glendale, will be added
to MPI by next summer. And by the end of this year, five sheriff's
departments that already have their own mug photo systems will be linked to
the statewide system. A few agencies, like the Chandler Police Department,
have purchased their own equipment to hook into the system.

"Here's a great thing," said Mark Hatcher, an identification supervisor for
the Mesa Police Department and chairman of the MPI Task Force. The task
force, a grass-roots effort with members from five police agencies in Arizona
has been working for two years to implement the technology. "This opens up
communication from Yuma County to Navajo County," Hatcher said.
"Geographically, they're at different ends of the state, but they can do a
search just like they were here at DPS."

The system standardizes the way mug shots are taken and stored, sets up a "major
clearinghouse" for all photos and allows investigators anywhere in the state to
search for, retrieve and print out mugs and suspect information from virtually
anywhere in the state. It also can be used to create photo lineups and books of
mug shots for victims to look through. "Say a suspect does a robbery with a
mask, and he's got a tattoo on his arm," Villela said. "Detectives can take that
picture of that tattoo and scan it into the system, and it'll give you everybody
that has that tattoo." The system also is capable of tracking gang affiliations,
weapons and registered sex offenders.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, LAKEWOOD

ImageWare Software has great experience in the area of composite creation and
the identification of suspects using those composites. The most recent and
important news involves the facial recognition software, Face ID. This software
was created using algorithms developed from MIT research, which ImageWare has
the exclusive right to offer to the law enforcement industry. The software
describes a portion of the face of an individual mathematically, from the
eyebrows to the lips. This represents the majority of facial features used to
differentiate individuals and discounts such things as hair length and style,
eyeglasses, hats, and other adornments.

Face ID is presently installed at the Lakewood substation of the Los Angeles
Sheriff's Department, and was recently used to capture a carjacking suspect. The
victim gave a very accurate description to the Sheriff's Department, and a
composite was created using ImageWare's Suspect ID. This composite was used to
then search their mugshot database using Face ID. The returned search results
contained a suspect that the victim identified from a lineup. This search took
approximately 90 seconds to perform, and caused the identification and
apprehension of the suspect, and subsequently the District Attorney's office has
filed charges against the suspect. The press release of this incident follows,
along with a view of the composite and actual photo of the suspect.

                              FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
               LOS ANGELES SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT IDENTIFIES SUSPECT
                   WITH NEW HIGH-TECH CRIME FIGHTING SOFTWARE

           DETECTIVES UTILIZE FACE ID-TM- FACIAL RECOGNITION SOFTWARE
                   TO ARREST CAR-JACKING AND BATTERY SUSPECT.

San Diego, California - November 3, 1997 - Just three days after installation
of their newest crime fighting weapon, detectives with the Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Department arrested a car jacking and battery suspect "that would
never had been identified without Face ID-TM- facial recognition software",
according to Sergeant Bill Conley of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Office. With
no leads, frustrated detectives had given up on the case weeks prior and
considered it dead until the installation of Face ID. Using a composite of
the suspect, detectives employed the facial recognition program to search
their digital mugshot database for possible matches. Within seconds the
automated search results displayed photos in rank order that were similar to
those of the composite. Detectives investigated the matches, created a
photo-line-up and two witnesses positively identified Eduardo Ochoa as the
suspect. Ochoa was arrested on October 30, 1997 and is being held in lieu of
$125,000 bail. Sergeant Conley was amazed and commented, "Face ID is one of
the most innovative breakthroughs in law enforcement technology."

Face ID, one of the modules of the C.R.I.M.E.S.-Registered Trademark- suite of
integrated law enforcement programs developed by ImageWare Software, Inc., is a
state-of-the-art facial recognition and retrieval program. Now, investigators no
longer have to spend hundreds of hours trying to identify a suspect. Detectives
can take a suspect composite created in ImageWare's Suspect ID-TM- program,
and seamlessly export it to Face ID, which in turn will systematically search
any digital database of booking images to identify possible suspects. Similarly,
a suspect's image caught on a bank or convenience store surveillance video can
be run against a digital photo database for possible identification. With Face
ID, officers will be able to utilize this facial recognition technology at the
time of booking to immediately identify a criminal with multiple identities or
outstanding warrants.

San Diego-based ImageWare Software, Inc. is a leader and innovator in PC-based

                   WITH NEW HIGH-TECH CRIME FIGHTING SOFTWARE

San Diego, California - November 3, 1997 - Just three days after installation
of ImageWare's Face ID-TM-, the program proved itself to be the most
effective high-tech crime fighting software available. Using a composite of a
suspect, detectives employed Face ID to conduct an automated comparison search
and produced a number of photos which closely resembled the suspect in a car
jacking and battery case. Both the victim and witness positively identified
the suspect who was ranked highest in the comparison search.

4.0 WORKPLAN
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

PROJECT ORGANIZATION & STAFFING

A Project Manager will be named by ImageWare Software, Inc., to oversee and
manage the planning, monitoring, reporting, and acceptance of the system
outlined in the proposal if ImageWare is the successful vendor. This person's
resume will be supplied during contract negotiations. It is expected that the
KITSAP COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE will also name a Project Coordinator who will
work with the IWS Project Manager, who will be responsible for all tasks
outlined as COUNTY responsibility on the task list.

APPROACH TO PROJECT
ImageWare has a well-defined, disciplined approach to program management which
includes:

         -    Attention to customer satisfaction
         -    Regular communications with customer via weekly status meetings,
              monthly project status reports, and quarterly reviews
         -    Regularly scheduled status meetings with the project staff

ImageWare will avoid and mitigate risks by reviewing, prioritizing, and
monitoring key project risks throughout the project life cycle. Identified
project risks will be recorded and tracked to resolution. Identification of
risks and potential mitigation plans will be reviewed with the project staff
monthly, documented in the project reports, and presented to the KITSAP COUNTY
SHERIFF'S OFFICE's Project Coordinator during the project reviews. By
identifying risks early before they have impacted the project, the actual impact
to the project can be decreased, if not totally eliminated. An inescapable fact
of project management is that there are always risks. The key to ensuring a
successful project is to manage them. This means the following must be done
early, before the risk actually impacts the project:

    -    Identify risks (technical, schedule, and cost)
    -    Prioritize and quantify risks
    -    Assign responsibility
    -    Mitigate (determine mitigation action, responsible person, due date)
    -    Track Progress

Kitts County                 Digital Mug System


EXHIBIT B MAINTENANCE & WARRANTIES
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PRODUCT AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT
IWS will provide KITSAP COUNTY SO with diagnostic software and manuals necessary
to operate and maintain the System, including schematics, diagnostic and
maintenance manuals as provided by the manufacturer. During the warranty period
IWS will support the System without any cost to the County. There are costs
associated with maintaining Customer Support during this warranty period. IWS
agrees to offer Customer Support for an additional fee specified in Cost
Proposal (EXHIBIT A), or at a cost per incident according to the Time and
Materials Schedule. For the purpose of this Agreement Customer Support is
defined as all informational calls related to operation of the System and calls
based upon user error. After the warranty period, IWS agrees to offer
maintenance, customer and product support for the System for at least five years
after installation subject to KITSAP COUNTY SO entering into an IWS Maintenance
Agreement during that five years. IWS will provide a copy of its current
Maintenance Agreement to KITSAP COUNTY SO. Any such Maintenance Agreement is
optional to KITSAP COUNTY SO and KITSAP COUNTY SO will be required to pay an
additional fee. IWS reserves the right to modify the terms and fees of its
standard Maintenance Agreement at any time.

HARDWARE WARRANTIES
All hardware that IWS supplies carries a full 1 Year warranty. IWS supports only
the hardware that it installs. Support for other systems not purchased through
ImageWare can be negotiated.

HARDWARE MAINTENANCE
Maintenance for the system hardware will be 7 days per week, 24 hours per day,
with all agencies having just one toll-free number to call for service. Initial
calls will be received by the IWS Help Desk. If no one is available, a call back
will be made within 1 hour. Within an agreed upon period of time, a hardware
technician will be on-site to troubleshoot and correct the problem.

If any installation within any agency will require access to restricted areas by
IWS employees, it is expected that information will be given to ImageWare during
contract negotiations. ImageWare will make any and all information available to
the AGENCY for each employee who must have access to the restricted areas.

The equipment and hardware supplied as part of this proposal will be fully
guaranteed for a minimum period of 12 months. All prices quoted as part of this
proposal are guaranteed for a period of 12 months

Kitts County                 Digital Mug System

The central server comes complete with dial-in modem, and the IBM Netfinity
Manager software and clients installed on each supplied workstation. This will
enable the customer service rep to access, and actually 'take over' workstations
when necessary to diagnose and repair any problems.

Software support first level is via toll free number to phone support. This
customer service rep has the ability to escalate the problem up to level 2
support, which is an R&D engineer. It that person requires an on-site rep, one
will be dispatched. We also include IBM hardware support with each IBM system.
Sometimes, the ImageWare programmer just needs a set of hands and eyes on-site,
and an IBM technician will be dispatched. Dial-in access is available to both
levels 1 and 2, and using Netfinity Manager, many problems can be diagnosed and
resolved by 'taking over' the workstation that is having problems, seeing the
error happen, and resolving the situation immediately via remote connection.

SOFTWARE WARRANTIES
All software has a 90 day warranty starting on the day of system acceptance.

SOURCE CODE
The latest versions of all CRIMES modules, including CCS will be put into an
escrow account. The specifics of this escrow agreement will be outlined at
contract signing.

SOFTWARE ON-GOING MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT
Maintenance for the system software will be 7 days per week, 24 hours per day,
with all agencies having just one toll-free number to call for service.
ImageWare will meet the response times as outlined by the County. Initial calls
will be received by the IWS Help Desk. If no one is available, a call back will
be made within 1 hour. Within an agreed upon period of time, a technician is
on-site to troubleshoot and correct the problem.

If any installation within any agency will require access to restricted areas by
IWS employees, it is expected that information will be given to ImageWare
during contract negotiations. ImageWare will make any and all information
available to Kitts County for each employee who must have access to the
restricted areas.

EXHIBIT C - TRAINING
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Training is purchased in increments. One increment is defined as one day of
on-site training with a maximum class size of 15. On-site training outlines may
vary. Example: Training system administrators on server functions is different
than training users on investigative software. A defined number of training
increments for this proposal can be found in the Cost Proposal (Exhibit A).
Follow-up training is available, either on-site or at the IWS facilities.

Training time is kept to a minimum with the Crime Capture System, as it is so
easy to use

Training will be accomplished at each agency location, using their system
equipment. All handout materials and reference materials will be furnished.
After the training session, users have lab time for hands-on familiarization. It
is recommended that at least one training session be video taped and duplicated
for each agency for on-going training purposes.

The length of each class is outlined below:

Software Maintenance.

                                  WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, XIMAGE and MORPHO have signed the "ForceField PSS Agreement" for the
purchase of services and the use of Software referred to hereafter as the
ForceField PSS System.

WHEREAS, XIMAGE has granted to MORPHO a perpetual and non-exclusive license,
transferable only to the Kuwait Government and solely for use with the PSS to
be installed and used as a portrait storage system in connection with the
AFIS sold to the Kuwait Government in Kuwait.


1.    DEFINITIONS

The terms defined in this Section shall have the meaning as follows:

FIRST LEVEL OF MAINTENANCE means MORPHO will require the Kuwait Government to
contact MORPHO maintenance personnel for all problems associated with the
installed Force Field PSS System. MORPHO will respond with fixes and/or
workarounds to keep the system operational. MORPHO personnel may document any
software problems and refer them to XIMAGE for additional fixes or patches.

SECOND LEVEL OF MAINTENANCE means if Morpho's personnel can not start or keep
the system operational because of software problems, XIMAGE should be
contacted to provide all documented and replicated software Errors. XIMAGE
will make best efforts to support Morpho by any means available. Such an
undertaking is made in the knowledge that a telecommunications line between
the site and XIMAGE may not be in existance.

PROGRAM means ForceField PSS software developed by XIMAGE including the
Sybase and Focus software and includes all software provided under the
Maintenance Agreement.

PROGRAM SPECIFICATIONS means the specifications published by XIMAGE for a
particular version of the Program (if no such specification is available,
then the relevant documentation for a particular version of the Program).

EFFECTIVE DATE shall mean the Date of Installation of the PSS in Kuwait, i.e.
December 10, 1993.

ERROR means any material failure to operate in accordance with the program
specifications delivered from the specifications appended to the base
agreement. Error includes malfunctions and defects.


                                                                        Page 3
<PAGE>


2.   TERM OF AGREEMENT

     XIMAGE's obligations hereunder shall become effective upon the
     "Effective Date" and, unless sooner terminated as provided herein, shall
     remain in full force and effect for at least one year thereafter. This
     Agreement shall automatically renew for consecutive one (1) year terms
     at XIMAGE's then prevailing rates at the end of each one (1) year term
     unless either party gives at least sixty (60) days prior written notice
     of the non-renewal of this Agreement.



3.   SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE SERVICES

     XIMAGE will provide to MORPHO during the term hereof "Software
     Maintenance Services" which shall include remedial maintenance service
     (i.e, error fixing and/or work arounds) for any significant error,
     malfunction or defect (collectively in "Error") in the Software so that
     the Software will operate in accordance with the specifications set
     forth in the related documentation. Correction of Errors is subject to
     MORPHO's prompt notification to XIMAGE of the nature and description of
     the Error provided that the Error is not caused by the abuse, misuse or
     neglect of the products by MORPHO. In addition, XIMAGE will provide the
     following as additional Customer Support Services:

     (a)  telephone support as reasonably requested by MORPHO at the rate of
          $100 per hour for all hours in excess of 40 hours in any one-year
          term;

     (b)  on-site visits to MORPHO's sites as determined to be necessary by
          Morpho for Error correction, unless error correction is normally
          performed via Dial up from the XImage facility in San Jose;

     (c)  give title to all modifications and improvements to the PSS
          Software which XIMAGE generally makes available to its other
          customers (at no additional Charge) under standard software
          maintenance agreements relating to the Software.

If MORPHO requests XIMAGE to perform any other services, the related terms
and conditions shall be based on further separate agreement between the
parties. This Agreement and the rights and duties contained herein are not be
deemed to cover maintenance services with respect to hardware. Such may be
decided in accordance with paragraph 9.



4.   PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES

     When XIMAGE provides Software Maintenance Services which require the use
     of the hardware portion of equipment which utilizes the Software (the
     "Equipment"), MORPHO shall make such Equipment available to XIMAGE at and
     for reasonable times, and in no event will MORPHO charge XIMAGE for such
     use of such Equipment. All Software Maintenance Services covered by the
     Maintenance Charges will be performed during the regular business hours
     of XIMAGE (Monday-Friday, exclusive holidays). If Software Maintenance
     Services are performed outside regular business hours, MORPHO will pay
     the additional charges, if any, as at XIMAGES then current charges.

     after receipt of a valid invoice from XIMAGE. Thereafter, the then
     applicable Annual Maintenance Charge shall be invoiced to, and paid by
     MORPHO prior to the beginning of the next annual maintenance period. All
     other charges under this Agreement shall be invoiced by XIMAGE and shall
     be due and payable within thirty (30) days after receipt of the invoice.

     employees or consultants who have agreed to receive it under termes at
     least as restrictive as those specified in this Agreement. Each party will
     use reasonable measures to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential

     information or similar type. Each party will immediately give notice to the
     Disclosing Party of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential
     Information. The Recipient agrees to assist the disclosing party in
     remedying any such unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential
     Information. This obligation will not apply to the extent that the
     Recipient can demonstrate:

     (a)  the disclosed information at the time of disclosure is part of the
          public domain;


                                                                       Page 5

<PAGE>

          similar restrictions and without breach of this Agreement; or

     (e)  the disclosed information is required to be disclosed by a
          government agency to further the objectives of this agreement, such
          as to obtain permission to distribute the Program of by a proper
          court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that the
          Recipient wil use its best efforts to minimize the disclosure of
          such information and will consult with and assist the Disclosing
          Party in obtaining a protective order prior to such disclosure.



8.   RESPONSE BY XIMAGE.

     XIMAGE will maintain a 24 hour a day reporting facility to accept calls
     from MORPHO. XIMAGE agrees to respond to any telephone call made, within
     30 minutes.



9.   INTERVENTION ON SITE.

     In the event that MORPHO require the attendance of an XIMAGE engineer on
     site, XIMAGE shall upon such a demand (either written or verbal) make
     their best efforts to dispatch the engineer as expeditiously as
     possible. XIMAGE undertake to have an engineer on site in Kuwait within
     72 hours from the time the request was made, exclusive of the time
     required to arrange for travel and obtain the required documents, and
     the actual travel time itself.
     In such cases where on site intervention is required MORPHO shall pay
     for all travel expenses (Business Class), hotel accomodation and
     reasonable subsistence. XIMAGE shall charge for the time of the engineer
     only when he/she is on site or in exceptional circumstances when away
     from the site but directly involved in work connected with the PSS.
     XIMAGE will not charge for travel time.

     All interventions on site are subject to a minimum total charge of
     $2,000. Hourly rate for intervention is $125.00 (one hundred and twenty
     five Dollars).

     Following any intervention on site XIMAGE shall provide a full written
     technical report to MORPHO.
     XImage is not required to send an engineer to the Kuwait site if either
     active or potentially pending hostilities exist in the region, and a
     reasonable person might fear the possibility of bodily harm.


                                                                       Page 6

<PAGE>


10.  RETURN AND REPAIR

     MORPHO may, at its option, return equipment to XIMAGE for repair. XIMAGE
     will make its best efforts to liaise with the supplier of the equipment
     and to expeditiously repair and return the equipment. XIMAGE reserves the
     right to charge an administration fee of $100 per shipment in such cases.



11.  INJUNCTIVE RELIEF/TERMINATION

     MORPHO acknowledges and agrees that any violation of the provisions of
     Section 7 herein by MORPHO will result in irreparable harm to XIMAGE and
     that money damages would provide inadequate remedy. Accordingly, in
     addition to any other rights and remedies available to XIMAGE hereunder
     or at law, XIMAGE shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable
     relief to restrain any such violation and to such other and further
     relief as a court may deem proper under the circumstances. In addition
     to any other rights of XIMAGE hereunder, the rights granted MORPHO to
     use the Software by license or otherwise may be terminated by XIMAGE for
     any material breach of Section 7 upon written notice given to MORPHO and
     MORPHO shall return to XIMAGE all of the Software.



12.  INDEMNIFICATION

     MORPHO hereby indemnifies and holds XIMAGE harmless from any and all
     claims, suits, actions and procedures brought or filed by third parties
     and from all damages, penalties, losses, costs and expenses (including
     without limitation, attorney's fees) arising out of, or related to, any
     act or omission of MORPHO and its employees or agents in connection with
     MORPHO's obligation herein.

     XIMAGE hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold MORPHO harmless from any
     claim of any third party that any of the Software infringes any United
     States patent, copyright, trademark or other property right held by a
     third party provided that XIMAGE is notified promptly by MORPHO of any
     such claim (including any threatened claim) and XIMAGE shall have had
     sole control of the defense with respect to same (including the
     settlement of such claim). The foregoing indemnification by XIMAGE shall
     not apply with respect to any claim based, in whole or part, on any
     modification of the Software made by any person other than XIMAGE.

     Without prejudice to any other of its rights or remedies, either party
     may elect to terminate the rights and obligations contained in this
     Agreement:

          within such a sixty (60) day period, or

     (b)  Upon sixty (60) days' written notice if the other party has failed
          to make timely payment of any amounts required to be paid hereunder,

                     FIRST AMENDMENT -- PURCHASE AND LICENSE
                  AGREEMENT BETWEEN IMAGEWARE SOFTWARE INC. AND
                    THE LAW ENFORCEMENT SUPPORT AGENCY (LESA)

WHEREAS, an Agreement (the "Agreement") for the purchase and sale of hardware
     and license of software was entered into on September 26, 1991, by and
     between Ximage Incorporated, a California based company ("Seller") and,
     jointly and severally, the County of Pierce and the City of Tacoma, in the
     State of Washington (Collectively "Buyer") for the purchase and sale of a
     computerized mug photo identification system (MUGIS); and

 WHEREAS, by Interlocal agreement between Pierce County and the City of Tacoma
     Buyers assigned their rights and obligations under the Agreement to the Law
     Enforcement Support Agency (LESA), which will be referred to as "Buyer" for
     the remainder of this Agreement; and

 WHEREAS, through the purchase of the Ximage Corporation in July 1998, by
     ImageWare Software Incorporated and through this purchased received all
     rights, privileges, software and hardware designs, and contractual
     obligations of the Ximage Corporation shall be referred to as "Seller" for
     the remainder of this Agreement: and

 WHEREAS, the Buyer and Seller mutually desire to modify, upgrade, and
     otherwise improve the system by adding and upgrading system equipment, and
     adding new software and system functionality, all according to the
     provisions of this Agreement at additional cost to the Buyer: and

 WHEREAS, Buyer has determined that it is in its best interest to accept the
     hardware and software modifications to the system contemplated hereby to
     further amend the Agreement.

 NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree to amend the Agreement as follows:

1.   PURCHASE AND SALE OF SYSTEM UPGRADE. Buyer agrees to buy and Seller agrees
     to sell an Upgrade to Buyer's existing MUGIS system as follows:

     a.   Buyer will receive the hardware, Crimes Capture System (CCS) software,
          investigative software for fifty stations, sub releases, and licenses
          to use the software as set for in paragraph 19, as well as updates
          maintenance and hardware and software support services for 60 months
          in exchange for the payments as set forth in paragraph 6, and monthly
          maintenance fees as set forth in paragraph 7 and EXHIBIT D.

<PAGE>

First Amendment - Purchase and License Agreement
LESA - ImageWare CCS Contract page 6

     b.   The upgrade will include installation of IBM or equivalent based
          equipment listed in EXHIBIT A.I, which shall become the property of
          the Buyer upon acceptance of this Upgrade. Any existing equipment,
          which will remain as part of the installation, and will not be
          replaced, will be noted on EXHIBIT A.I. All other items to be replaced
          as part of the hardware upgrade will be removed by the Seller except
          as noted in EXHIBIT A.1.

     c.   Seller will install the CCS software upgrade to Buyer's existing
          system, preserving all functionality of the existing system including
          customization for Buyer's use, to include but not limited to Print
          Formats, CHRI and JMS interfaces, System connectivity, etc., and
          adding functionality as set forth in EXHIBIT A.II.

2.   OPERATE WITH HIGH RELIABILITY. The system must be capable of continued
     operation in degraded modes and be backed -up by practical means which is
     either manual or system generated. Communications links must be reliable.
     The L.E.S.A. technical staff and County and City personnel must be able to
     maintain and support the system with the current staff and resources.

     a.   The network will connect the equipment stated in Exhibit A.I and the
          existing equipment. The System must be capable of other add-ons
          outside of the County-City building without degradation. It shall be
          configured so that no single component failure of maintenance outage
          or cable disconnection shall functionally disable the system.
          Although it is understood that a failure of the server will prevent
          data-base searches, the CCS Capture stations must have the ability to
          capture and store booking records consisting of images with basic key
          information at the capture station. Upon restoration of the service to
          the server, the system must provide for automatic transfer of the
          stored images and associated data. Each capture station must be able
          to hold up to 1400 IMAGES.

     b.   The system shall be capable of meeting all response times and other
          performance criteria in this Agreement [Exhibit B] during simultaneous
          operations of all stations, both within and outside the County-City
          building, up to a total of 60 concurrent users subject to the speed
          limitations of digital lines and network provided by Buyer. The
          database shall have the capacity to store 1 million images.

     c.   Downtime. The system downtime shall not exceed ten (15) hours during
          any month, despite continuous heavy use 24 hours each day. The maximum
          downtime for non-critical is 48 hours and the maximum downtime for
          critical equipment is 12 hours. Downtime will be computed from the
          time the customer places a call for service to the time that system is
          once again fully operation. Critical components, Downtime, and the
          Remedy for excessive downtime (15.1 hours or more in one month) are
          defined in the Maintenance Agreement EXHIBIT D.

LESA - ImageWare CCS Contract page 7

3.   IMPORT/EXPORT OF DATA AND PHOTOGRAPHS. The System shall allow for the
     Import and Export of photographic images and associated data that conform
     to the ANSI/NIST 1996 Standards.

4.   INTERFACES. The System will have and the Seller will provide the capability
     to interface with any other computer systems that the Buyer needs to
     interact with for the purpose of exchanging data and or images. This will
     include, but not limited to, the Criminal History Records Inquiry (CHRI)
     computer system, Jail Information Management System (JMS), MORPHO AFIS, and
     Live Scan devices. The Crime Capture System will provide a direct interface
     with the JMS computer to receive demographic and other data elements, and
     provide for the transfer of images to the JMS computer. The cost of this
     system will be the responsibility of either EPIC Solutions (JMS Vendor) or
     the Pierce County Sheriffs Correction and Detention Center. How this is to
     be accomplished and in what format will be the responsibility of Seller.

5.   TRANSACTION/AUDIT LOGS. The System shall automatically record every
     significant system transaction and event in a log file or other format so
     that it may be archived for permanent storage. It will be retained on-line
     for a minimum of 60 days. The transactions to be recorded shall include but
     not limited to the operator's identity, the time the operator logged on and
     off, the station the operator was logged into, what records he added, what
     record number was printed, what record number he deleted, each photo-lineup
     created and by whom and when, what records were updated, and who updated
     each record and the day it was updated. The system shall have the
     capability to move transactions/audit logs to permanent storage media.


6.   PAYMENT. Buyer agrees to pay for the purchase, license, installation, and
     training herein described by paying the Seller the amount of ONE HUNDRED
     TWENTY-NINE THOUSAND FIFTY-EIGHT DOLLARS AND SEVENTY-TWO CENTS
     ($129,058.72) EXCLUDING ALL ASSOCIATED WASHINGTON STATE SALES TAX. This
     sum includes all hardware and software costs ($115,231.00), and all
     shipping, training, and installation fees ($13,827.72). The payment will
     be in three parts. Thirty-three percent (33%) will be at the time of
     delivery of the project implementation plan, thirty-three percent (33%)
     will be at the time of system acceptance and the final thirty-three
     percent (33%) will be after the system has had 30 days of performance at
     or above 96% up-time.

7.   MAINTENANCE PAYMENTS. Seller agrees that the system hardware maintenance
     and software support fees will begin on January 1, 2001. Buyer agrees to
     pay quarterly maintenance payments beginning on January 1, 2001, by
     February 15, 2001, and quarterly thereafter for the life of the maintenance
     agreement. Payments will be made by the 15th day of February, May, August,
     November of the respective maintenance period. A maintenance period will be
     defined as three calendar months. The amount of maintenance payments will

8.   DAMAGE AWARD FOR DELAYED INSTALLATION. The CCS upgrade is an integral part
     of the Pierce County Sheriff's Department Bureau of Corrections and
     Detention's Jail Management System (JMS) and must be installed and data
     converted prior to the completion and installation of that system.
     Notwithstanding any other provision of this First Amendment, the maximum
     time within which the Seller may obtain Acceptance of the upgraded system,

          original running condition prior to the Upgrade. OR,

     b.   Grant the Seller additional time to complete the necessary changes to

          be entitled to release of the materials placed in escrow in the event

          background investigation. Any of Seller's personnel may be denied
          access to Buyer's Site and information for security reasons.

          likely to become, the subject of a claim of infringement of a United
          States or foreign patent or copyright, Seller may, at Seller's option,
          either (i) secure for Buyer the right to continue the use of the
          System, or (ii) replace or modify the System to make it noninfringing
          (provided that the modified or replacement System continues to meet
          the same performance standards as the infringing System. In the event
          that neither (i) nor (ii) is reasonably available to Seller, Seller
          shall so notify Buyer and Buyer shall become entitled to terminate
          this Agreement, and the recovery of damages as stated in paragraph
          21.c.

          connected or provided by Seller; (ii) using other than the most recent
          release of the licensed software provided by Seller, in the event that
          the Infringement Action could have been avoided by use of such
          release; or modifying the System, without the expressed written
          authorization of the Seller.

          of such locked sub-systems except to the extent that such access is
          necessary for day-to-day operation of the System (as opposed to
          maintenance).

     d.   ADDITIONAL SAFEGUARDS. Buyer agrees to comply with any additional
          safeguards against improper disclosure, duplication or use of
          proprietary information that Seller may reasonably promulgate from
          time to time, provided that such safeguards do not unduly interfere
          with Buyer's use of the System or appreciably increase Buyer's
          operating costs with respect thereto.

     e.   THIRD PARTY MAINTENANCE. Since this is a turnkey system using off the
          shelf components and Seller developed software, the Seller will be
          responsible for all maintenance of the System. (If a component or
          piece of software supplied by the Seller requires a third party to
          complete the repair or maintenance, it will be the Seller's
          responsibility to arrange for this third party repair or maintenance
          at the Seller's cost).

          In addition, in the event that the Seller shall decline to renew the
          Maintenance Agreement described in EXHIBIT D; Buyer shall be entitled
          to disclose proprietary information to such personnel.

     f.   OWNERSHIP. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by
          agreement between Buyer and Seller, all proprietary information shall
          remain the exclusive property of Seller.

     g.   RCW 42.17. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as prohibiting
          Buyer from making available, for public inspection and copying, any
          public records required to be made available pursuant to chapter 42.17
          RCW, providing, however, that Buyer Shall, in such even, give Seller
          prior reasonable notice and an opportunity to challenge such
          disclosure before the Courts, to the extent permitted under applicable
          law.

26.  Seller will audit existing/remaining hardware to ensure sufficient capacity
     and compliance with the requirements of this agreement and the Crime
     Capture System. It will be Buyers responsibility to take appropriate action
     as required in the Seller's report to assure continued operation.

                              INSTALLATION SCHEDULE

                    FORCEFLELD UPGRADE INSTALLATION TIME LINE

ImageWare see the ForceField upgrade taking place in the following manner:

1.        System Configuration Review

2.        NT Configuration Plan

3.        Existing Hardware Audit

4.        Install LESA Capture Station

S.        Back up of current server

6.        Server Installation: No downtime
          The server will be installed at the same time as the capture stations
          are upgraded.

7.        Test Interface to DTM

8.        Upgrade each capture system. 1 day per station
          After the upgrade, the capture station will be able to capture data in
          standalone mode. Once the new server is on line, images and data will
          be forwarded to the new server.

9.        Server Configuration: 3 days
          A data conversion will take place and the server will be down for
          approximately 3 days. During this time the new capture stations will
          continue in stand alone mode and data will be forwarded to new server
          once it is on line. (Display stations will be down at this time.)

<PAGE>

First Amendment - Purchase and License Agreement
LESA - ImageWare CCS Contract page 49

FORWARD DATA:
All data captured in stand-alone mode will be forwarded to the new NT server.

DISPLAY STATION UPGRADE: 2 hours per station
Display stations will be upgraded after the server is on line. (There is a
          possibility we will upgrade display stations during the server data
          conversion if time permits.) Once all display stations are upgraded,
          they will go on-line.

 ImageWarewill make every effort to minimize the time the system is not
          operational, however, please be aware the agency will incur some
          downtime. ImageWare is open to working with the agency to determine
          three consecutive days which are the least busy.

          ARIZONA AUTOMATED FINGERPRINT IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (AZAFIS)
                          MUG PHOTO INTERFACE SUBSYSTEM

1.       INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW

         The Arizona State Procurement Office is issuing this Request for
         Proposal (RFP) to invite qualified offerors to submit proposals for
         the purchase, delivery, installation, and maintenance of a Mug Photo
         Interface Subsystem. This RFP sets forth the requirements for a Mug
         Photo Interface Subsystem as defined by the State.

         The AZAFIS Mug Photo Interface Subsystem shall be initially
         comprised of a centralized statewide image database operated and
         maintained and located at the Department of Public Safety, fifteen
         mug photo interfaces at the primary booking facilities in each
         county in Arizona. (See Exhibit A for additional Funded Sites) The
         electronic Mug Photo Interface Subsystem will be interfaced to the
         existing AZAFIS livescan equipment in each proposed site. The system
         will utilize electronic image technology for mug photos. The primary
         objective of the system is to provide electronic capture, transmittal
         and retrieval of mug photo images via the AZAFIS frame relay network.
         Additional images contained in the statewide database would include
         scars, marks, and tattoo's, yearbook photos, and vehicle photos.

         1.1      Conceptually there will be two types of electronic mug photo
                  devices:

                  1.1.1    Capture Site

                           An input/retrieval workstation that will be
                           interfaced to the AZAFIS livescan equipment in each
                           county jail to capture mug photos and scars, marks,
                           and tattoos of each arrestee when booked and
                           fingerprinted. A processing control number (PCN)
                           currently issued by the livescan equipment for each
                           arrest incident must also be applied to the mug
                           photos and other images taken at the time of booking.
                           Once the mug photo is captured, the image and
                           associated textual information will be electronically
                           sent to the centralized database at the Department of
                           Public Safety. This same device will also be used to
                           retrieve mug photos from the centralized database.

                  1.1.2.   Investigative Site

                           An investigative workstation that will not have the
                           technical ability to capture mug photos but, will be
                           used at sites other than booking facilities to
                           retrieve standardized mug photo lineups and other
                           electronic images via the existing AZAFIS network.
                           This workstation will also have the capability to
                           input yearbook photos, family photos, etc. The
                           investigators must be able to define queries by
                           specifying a set of physical attributes. The system
                           must then prepare and present a list of potential
                           candidates. The selection of individuals for
                           inclusion in the list must be done on the basis of
                           the criteria specified in the query.

2.       DEFINITIONS

            cases, to users with security access codes acceptable to both the
            Arizona Department of Public Safety and the cooperating agency.

      5.31  The MPI shall generate outputs in the format determined by the
            State. Inputs from each interfacing system shall be in the State
            format. The prime contractor shall assist in any necessary
            conversion between these systems.

      5.32  The MPI shall be both menu and command driven. There shall be
            standardized movement from screen to screen without having to
            return to the main menu. System messages shall be standardized and
            detailed field specific help functions shall be provided.

      5.33  The MPI shall have a manual capture operation to provide
            essential functions in the those instances in which part or all of
            the systems fails. The manual capability shall be available to
            sustain operations at whatever level it is needed (i.e., part of
            a facility, an entire facility, several facilities, or the entire
            network).

      5.34  The MPI shall include a purging capability that can be identified
            by the system manager in a table or structured response by data
            element and compound logical and arithmetic relationships.

      5.35  The system shall provide multiple, searchable, linked image and
            data bases. These databases would be used for user specified
            purposes (i.e. sex offenders, gangs, habitual offenders,
            employees). The system shall provide for the entry of a photo type
            i.e. arrests (PO1) juveniles (PO7). (Appendix B).

            5.35.1  The system shall allow, at the states discretion, for the
                    partitioning of any of these data bases to protect against
                    unauthorized access. The system shall provide for the
                    addition of photo type databases at no additional cost to
                    the State.

      5.36  The MPI shall provide an audit trail that is easily accessed by
            any authorized user. This audit trail, at a minimum, shall identify
            the user, all filles accessed, the order in which these files were
            accessed, the time and date of each transaction, and the order in
            which these files were printed. This function shall be sufficient
            to withstand any legal challenge of the products from the MPI. The
            successful offeror shall assist in legal challenges at a rate
            mutually agreed to by the offeror and the State.

      5.37  The MPI shall provide for image enhancement. This capability
            shall at a minimum, allow for the standardization of background
            color and subject head size. The system shall ensure that any file
            that is modified is identified as a modified file. The proposed
            system shall prevent any modification of an original image file.
            The offeror shall provide documentation stating the method used
            for ensuring the file integrity for review by the MPI and the
            Attorney Generals Office.

      5.38  The MPI shall provide each user agency a report format that will
            indicate the number of photo's per booking, by operator, the total
            number of photo's by hour, day and month, and the total current
            data base size for their site. A summary report shall be provided
            with the same data for all sites for the system administrator.

      5.39  Local users comments and other free-form entries into the MPI shall
            be searchable. Searches shall be designed so that the system
            performance is not adversely affected. Free-form text space
            allowed shall be no more than 1 line of text.

      5.40  The MPI imaging system shall allow the operator to view, live
            camera images and select or reject an unlimited number of these
            views for inclusion in the file.

      5.41  The system shall automatically associate all images with a
            specific file, and store the date and time at which it was
            recorded.

      5.42  The MPI shall allow common characteristics to be selected from a
            user-maintained list, organized by body type and size facial
            appearance and features. The user shall be able to describe
            unusual characteristics in free form text entries. As with other
            free-form text entries, mug photo descriptions shall be indexed so
            that may be searched.

      5.43  The User shall be able to retrieve and/or print any image in the
            system. The retrieval can be accomplished by searching on the PCN
            number and other numbers. (i.e. agency case number)

      5.44  The User shall be able to retrieve and/or print any mug photo
            that fits the descriptive characteristics selected from the user
            maintained list and/or searched among free-form text entries.

      5.45  The MPI shall provide the user with the capability to generate a
            photo-lineup of up to six mug photos. The system shall retrieve
            and display all mug photos that contain the distinguishing
            characteristics that match or substantially match those of the
            photo-lineup subject. The user shall then be able to select or
            reject from the mug photos retrieved up to five that, together
            with the subject's, constitute the photo-lineup. The user shall be
            able to arrange the selected images in any order and print them to
            a single sheet for viewing.

      5.46  The User shall be able to print mug photos and or photo-lineups
            on any printer connected to the MPI.

      5.47  The MPI shall store color images of scars, marks, and tatoos
            (SMT) for each arrestee. The MPI shall automatically associate all
            images of an inmate's SMT with his or her files, store, the date
            and time the images were recorded. The MPI shall differentiate
            images of SMT from mug photo's.

      5.48  The MPI shall classify images as scars, marks, or tatoos. It is
            preferred that the system use a generic human body drawing to
            establish the location of SMT. If this option is not availbale,
            SMT location shall be selected from a user-maintained list
            (e.g. right upper arm).

      5.49  Common types and subtypes of SMT shall be selectable from a
            user-maintained list. The user shall be able to describle unusual
            types and subtypes in free-form text entries. Words on a tattoo
            shall also be entered as free-form text.

      5.50  For commonly seen and easily identified SMT judged not important
            enough to photograph, the MPI shall accept descriptive free-form
            text entries.

      5.51  The user shall be able to retrieve and or print any images of SMT
            associated with a booking or those of any other person whose SMT
            have been entered into the system for investigative or
            identification purposes.

      5.52  The user shall be able to enter a description of an SMT, and
            retrieve and/or print image that match the description. The user
            shall be able to select search characteristics from the
            user-maintained list of locations, types, and subtypes. For
            unususal SMT, and for the words on tattoos, the user shall be able
            to enter free-form text entries as search criteria.

      5.53  The capacity to print images of SMT in black and white shall be
            available on all MPI work stations. The ability to print these
            images in color shall be made available at user designated
            stations.

      5.54  The MPI shall allow the user to obtain "Help" for each individual
            field, while the cursor is in that field, for each entry and
            inquiry screen. The "Help" function shall give the user a brief
            explanation of the requirements for that particular field and
            whether the field is mandatory. The MPI shall allow a user to ask
            for help for each entry or inquiry module or screen, when the user
            is in that module or screen. The "Help" function shall provide
            essential information for the module or screens purpose and usage.
            The mandatory fields shall be a different color, bold or
            highlighted.

      5.55  The MPI shall display the current status of a booking. The
            display shall indicate current status and allow the user to
            determine what actions are necessary to complete the booking
            process.

      5.56  The MPI shall allow the user to access any screen from any other
            screen, directly, at any time, with minimal use of sub-menuing
            menuing.

      5.57  The MPI shall include a transaction to down load selected data
            elements to a file. The data available for down loading will
            be determined by the user's security access as determined by the
            system manager.

      5.58  The MPI shall include quality assurance functions that, at a
            minimum, will compare the currently taken image of an arrestee
            against the data base and identify any similar or duplicate images.
            This function shall be selectable at users discretion. This
            function is required to identify outstanding warrants, aliases,
            and inaccurate demographic information given at the time of
            booking.

      5.59  The MPI shall contain an audit function. Each activity performed
            shall be stored with audit information relating to the specific
            user performing the activity, and what data the activity relates
            to. This audit information shall be made available to other user's
            based on their security profile.

      5.60  The MPI shall allow for on-line data backup and archival devices.

      5.61  The MPI shall accept and correctly process hyphenated names in
            any name component, first, middle and/or last.

      5.62  The MPI shall use soundex coding in name searches to minimize the
            impact names with similar and variant spellings and of misspelled
            names (either on entry or in requesting a name search).

      5.63  Security access to information maintained by the MPI will depend
            primarily on using object-based security. A combination of an
            assigned log-on and a password shall be required to sign on, and
            shall be validated by the system before access is granted.

      5.64  The system shall determine which information or objects a user
            will have access to, by way of preassigned roles and privileges,
            and what actions he or she may take with this information or
            objects. The system shall label all transactions with the users'
            log-on, time and date.

      5.65  The MPI shall log off any signed-on user who does not make an
            input into the system for a user-defined interval (e.g. five
            minutes).

      5.66  The MPI shall require that passwords be changed at user-defined
            intervals (e.g. every 90 days).

      5.67  The user/administrator shall be provided an application utility
            to enable the maintenance of system security levels.

      5.68  The MPI shall provide the capability to audit use of the system
            by determining the transactions performed. Audits shall be limited
            to a specific time period.

      5.69  The MPI shall provide at a minimum two types of audit reports.
            The system shall produce a summary report which lists only
            actions taken by the user/users or the position being audited the
            date and time at which each action was taken, and the ID of the
            user taking the action. A detailed audit report, which lists the
            action taken, the specific subjects and/or files against which
            they were taken, all changes made by or information returned in
            response to the actions, any explanations for the changes required
            by the system, and the ID of the user taking the action. The users
            ID shall be output only once for an audit of an individual user but
            shall be presented with each action in an audit of workstation use
            or of all MPI users.

      5.70  The MPI shall accept audit requests made in the following manner,
            by all users, by a specific user, by specified workstation.

      5.71  The MPI shall restrict the request for a security audit to
            personnel with appropriate security-access codes as determined by
            the system manager.

      5.72  The MPI shall at a minimum, have a security capacity that meets
            the US Government Department of Defense Standard Class C2 as
            defined in the Department of Defense Trusted Computer System
            Evaluation Criteria, December 1985.

      5.73  The MPI must store each activity with audit information relating
            to the specific user performing the activity, and what data the
            activity relates to. Such audit information shall be made available
            to other users based on their security profile.

      5.74  The MPI must allow the user to retrieve and/or print images
            associated with a past or present inmates record, other persons
            photographs in the system for identification purposes (these
            images will be retrieved by PCN or system number), those images
            that fit descriptive characteristics selected from a
            user-maintained list or searched from among free-form text
            entries.

      5.75  The investigative workstation shall be equipped with a color flat
            bed scanner that, at a minimum, has 600 dpi optical single pass
            resolution, 36 bit color, the ability to scan legal size paper
            containing both images and text, and contains OCR software for
            scanning pages of text. The scanner shall auto-generate and
            assign an AZAFIS Processing Control Number (PCN) whenever an
            image is processed for inclusion in the central database.

      5.76  The MPI systems shall be composed of new equipment which has not
            been previously used in any demonstration or exhibit.

      5.77  The MPI shall allow for data storage expansion of at least three
            (3) times the original storage capability. The State currently
            generates 350,000 mug photos per year. Exhibit C (attached) shows
            estimated capture transaction data for each initial site.

      5.78  The MPI shall support an operating system, network operating
            system and protocol suite which will allow the MPI to interface
            with other computer systems currently in use within the AZAFIS
            network.

      5.79  The proposed AZAFIS Mug Photo Subsystem shall be configured
            adequately to provide acceptable transaction response times during
            the estimated seven (7) year life of the initial system. The
            average elapse time for the capturing of mugphoto scars, marks and
            tattoos, yearbook photos, vehicle photos to the time the
            centralized database receives the transaction shall not exceed 5
            seconds. The average elapse time for receiving a response form an
            investigative query shall not exceed 15 seconds.

            5.79.1  "Response time" for this procurement is defined as the
                    elapsed time between the transmission of a transaction
                    command or function key and the return of the cursor for
                    the next user entry, or, the display of the last character
                    or pixel of the first page of the transaction's normal
                    response to the video monitor.

            5.79.2  Offerors shall provide average response times for each of
                    their system's transactions.

            5.79.3  In situations where teleprocessing from remote locations
                    will appreciably slow response times, offerors are asked
                    to identify the line speed requirements necessary to
                    support their response time claims. Offerors shall also
                    provide both local and remote average response times for
                    all data intensive transactions. (any transactions that
                    due to its message size is subject to a doubling or more
                    of its local average response time)

            5.79.4  Each offeror shall include an explanation of the method
                    they propose using to demonstrate the accuracy of their
                    response time claims.

     (a)  Bids shall be enclosed in sealed envelopes addressed to the City
          Clerk, City of San Antonio. The name and address of bidder, the
          date and hour of the bid opening and the title of the bid
          solicitation shall be placed on the outside of the envelope.

     (b)  Bids must be submitted on the forms furnished. Facsimile bids must
          be submitted in accordance with Par. 4(a) above. Bids, however, may
          be modified provided such modifications are sealed and received by
          the City Clerk prior to the time and date set for the bid opening.
          However, the City of San Antonio shall not be responsible for lost
          or misdirected bids or modifications.

     (c)  SAMPLES: Samples may be requested for evaluation and must be
          provided within ten calendar days at no expense to the City of San
          Antonio. Failure to provide samples will eliminate vendors from bid

          after award of the contract.

     (d)  By submittal of this bid, bidder certifies to the best of his/her
          knowledge that all information is true and correct.

5.   REJECTION OF BIDS

     (a)  The City may reject a bid if:

          1.   The bidder misstates or conceals any material fact in the
               bid; or

          2.   The bid does not strictly conform to law or the requirements
               of the bid;

          3.   The bid is conditional, except that the bidder may qualify
               the bid for acceptance by the City on an "All or None" basis
               or a "Low Item" basis. An "All or None" basis bid must
               include all items upon which bids are invited.

     (b)  In the event that a bidder is or subsequently becomes delinquent in
          the payment of his, her or its City taxes, including state and
          local sales taxes, such fact shall constitute grounds for rejection
          of the bid, or if awarded the bid, for cancellation of the
          contract. However, the City reserves the right to deduct any
          delinquent taxes from payments that the City may owe to the
          delinquent bidder as a result of such contract.

     (c)  The City may, however, reject all bids whenever it is deemed in the
          best interest of the City to do so, and may reject any part of a
          bid unless the bid has been qualified as provided in 5(a) 3 above.
          The City at its sole discretion may also waive any minor
          informalities or irregularities in any bid, to include failure to
          submit sufficient bid copies, failure to submit literature or
          similar attachments, or business affiliation information.

6.   WITHDRAWAL OF BIDS

     Bids may not be withdrawn after the time set for the bid opening, unless
     approved by the City Council.

7.   LATE BIDS OR MODIFICATIONS

     Bids and modifications received after the time set for the bid opening
     will not be considered.

8.   CLARIFICATION TO BID SPECIFICATIONS

     (a)  If any person contemplating submitting a bid for this contract is
          in doubt as to the true meaning of the specifications, other bid
          documents, or any part thereof, he/she may submit to the City
          Director of Purchasing on or before seven calendar days prior to
          scheduled opening, a request for clarification. All such requests
          for information shall be made in writing and the person submitting
          the request will be responsible for its prompt delivery. Any
          interpretation of the bid, if made, will be made only by addendum
          duly issued. A copy of such Addendum will be mailed or delivered
          to each person receiving bids. The City will not be responsible
          for any other explanation or interpretation of the proposed bid
          made or given prior to the award of the contract. Any objections
          to the specifications and requirements as set forth in this bid

          by a duly authorized officer thereof (checks to be drawn payable to
          the City of San Antonio), or a Certificate of Deposit from such
          bank or trust company assigned to the City of San Antonio, or an
          irrevocable letter of credit from a state or national bank or trust
          company.

     (e)  The performance deposit of the successful bidder(s) shall be
          returned by the City upon completion of the contract and final
          acceptance of all items in accordance with condition thereof.

     (f)  Failure of vendor to perform any of the services required by this
          contract within ten days of receipt of written demand for
          performance from City, or failure of vendor to correct or replace
          defective goods or products within ten days from receipt of written
          demand therefor, shall constitute a total breach of this contract
          and shall cause this contract to terminate immediately upon the
          expiration of the 10-day period. In the event of such termination,
          the performance deposit shall be retained by the City of San
          Antonio as liquidated damages, based upon mutual agreement and
          understanding between vendor and City at the time this bid is
          solicited, submitted and accepted, that the City of San Antonio is
          a governmental agency engaged in public projects, and that the
          measurement of damages, which might result from a breach of the
          terms and specifications herein is difficult or impossible to
          determine. However, the Director of Purchasing, with the
          concurrence of the City Manager, may return all or part of the
          performance deposit to the vendor if the Director determines, in
          the Director's sole discretion, that the failure to perform the
          conditions of this contract was the result of acts or events over
          which the vendor had no control. The determination shall then be
          final and binding on all parties.

12.  ASSURANCE OF COMPLIANCE - EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY AND SMALL AND/OR
     MINORITY BUSINESS ADVOCACY REQUIREMENTS

     It is the policy of the City of San Antonio that Small and/or Minority
     Business Enterprises shall have the maximum practicable opportunity to
     participate in the performance of public contracts. Bidder agrees that
     if this bid is accepted, he/she will not engage in employment practices
     which have the effect of discriminating against employees or prospective
     employees because of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age,
     handicap or political belief or affiliation. In addition, bidder agrees,
     by submittal of this bid, that he/she will abide by all applicable terms
     and provisions of this Nondiscrimination Clause and the Small and/or
     Minority Business Advocacy Clause, these clauses available in the City's
     Department of Economic and Employment Development and the City Clerk's
     Office.

13.  INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR

     It is expressly understood and agreed by both parties hereto that the
     City is contracting with the successful bidder as an independent
     contractor. The parties hereto understand and agree that the City shall
     not be liable for any claims which may be asserted by any third party
     occurring in connection with the services to be performed by the
     successful bidder under this contract and that the successful bidder has
     not authority to bind the City.

14.  BID RESULT REQUEST

     Any party who wishes to be provided documents relating to the bid
     results shall make a request in writing. Pursuant to state law, the City
     may assess a fee in order to recoup the cost related to providing the
     requested information.

15.  PATENTS/COPYRIGHTS

     The successful bidder agrees to indemnify and hold the City harmless
     from any claim involving patent infringement or copyrights on goods
     supplied.

21.  ASSIGNMENT

     The successful bidder shall not sell, assign, transfer or convey this
     contract in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the
     Purchasing Department.

22.  MILLENNIUM CERTIFICATION

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The C.R.I.M.E.S.-Registered Trademark- suite of software is modular in
design. It is possible to add, upgrade, or replace software modules in the
system with relative ease. Modules included in the C.R.I.M.E.S.-Registered
Trademark- suite of software are:

- -    Suspect ID-Registered Trademark-, a photo-realistic composite program
- -    Crime Lab-Registered Trademark-, a sophisticated image enhancement and
     editing program
- -    Vehicle ID-TM-, a photo-based program to help quickly identify
     vehicles
- -    Crime Capture System-TM-, a flexible easy-to-use digital booking
     system
- -    Face ID-TM-, a state-of-the-art facial recognition and retrieval
     program

The host system for C.R.I.M.E.S. is designed around a true client-server
architecture. The central server houses the mugshot database as well as the
facial recognition database. Several capture and investigative client
workstations are installed throughout an agency's booking sites as needed.
The system's open architecture allows for expansion without massive overhauls
to the basic network.

The operating system for the central server will be Microsoft Windows NT
Server 4.0, and Windows NT Workstation for each capture and investigative
workstation. Demographic data and images are both stored in a SQL relational
database, such as Sybase or Microsoft SQL Server. ImageWare databases are
ODBC compliant.

The system components will connect to the agency's network directly, with
each agency responsible for providing LAN connections for the new equipment.
The protocol will be TCP/IP. All connections to either the network or
additional devices will be industry standard connections. Communication
between stations on the network will be determined and configured by the
network administrator. Communication between each capture and investigative
station and the central server will be bi-directional.

The system shall meet ANSI/NIST-CSL1-1993, NIST-CSL 1-960401, and
ANSI/NIST-ITL 1a-1997 standards, entitled "Data Format for the Interchange of
Fingerprint, Facial & SMT Information". All recommendations outlined in "NIST
Best Practice Recommendation for the Capture of Mugshots" version 2.0 dated
September 11, 1997 will be followed.

System security will make use of both operating system permissions as well as
database software security. This will allow access to certain functions and
data to be controlled by the system administrator. These privileges and
permissions will be given and controlled by user login. There will be an
administrative function available only to the system administrator, where
these permissions and privileges are maintained.

The system will ensure that all images are Read Only, through the operating
system permissions as well as the database security. Images must be exported
from the database and imported into other software to allow any editing of
the image. It cannot be saved

                                                                             1

reject or accept it at that time. The system will accept an unlimited number
of photos per booking record.

Using the integration of Crime Capture System-TM- and Face
ID-TM-, the operator will be able to compare an arrestee's photo with
those previously stored in the mug photo database, find previous arrests for
this arrestee, and link all records found. In addition, the mug photo
database can be searched using the arrestee's demographic information, for
example, last name and date of birth, to find other records for this arrestee.

Each capture station will have the ability to store both images and
associated demographic data locally if the network connection is unavailable.
When the network is restored and the central server database is accessible,
those locally stored records will be transmitted to the central server.

All images taken for a particular booking will be associated with a specific
file, or record, and will store the date and time it was recorded. Other
booking records may be linked to this booking if this is a repeat offender.

The input of demographic, or descriptive data will be available from
user-maintained lists, organized in any order the customer chooses. The user
will also be able to input free form text comments, including unusual
characteristics. All of these descriptive data fields will be searchable.

INVESTIGATIVE WORKSTATION
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each investigative workstation will consist of an IBM PC 300PL Pentium II
processor, with 64 MB of random access memory and 6.4 GB of internal hard
disk storage. Each investigative workstation will be equipped with a CD ROM
drive, 1.44 floppy disk drive, 17" monitor and keyboard.

Searches may be accomplished using NCIC standard demographic codes, from user
maintained tables.

The software will create photo line-ups of six images. The Crime Capture
System-TM- will retrieve and display the images of all subjects with
characteristics that match, or substantially match, those of the line-up
subject. The user will be able to select or reject up to five images from the
images retrieved, which, together with the subject's, constitute the line-up.
The line-up will be random ordered, and may be saved for future retrieval.
These photo line-ups are also printable.

Each agency will be able to search the database and obtain information about
the total number of bookings by date, by officer ID, by charge code, etc. The
search function includes very flexible ad hoc inquiries, including many
boolean logic functions, including AND, OR, GREATER THAN, LESS THAN, EQUAL TO,
etc.

                                                                             3

2.2 TECHNICAL AND FUNCTIONAL CAPABILITIES
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (IWS ANSWERS IN BOLD/ITALICS)


1. GENERAL FEATURES
   ----------------
     1.1.  (Mandatory) The video imaging system (VIS) must be capable of
           capturing, storing, retrieving, displaying, and printing video
           images.

           THE PROPOSED CRIME CAPTURE SYSTEM (CCS) MEETS ALL OF THESE
           REQUIREMENTS! ALSO INCLUDED IN THE PROPOSAL ARE 2 FREE COPIES OF
           CRIME LAB IMAGE ENHANCING SOFTWARE. CRIME LAB IS CAPABLE OF
           CAPTURING VIDEOS FROM EXTERNAL SOURCES, ENHANCING IMAGES AND
           REMOVING BACKGROUNDS AS WELL AS A GREAT DEAL OF OTHER PHOTO
           EDITING CAPABILITIES. SEE ATTACHMENTS.

     1.2.  (Mandatory) The VIS must be capable of generating video line-ups
           and wanted posters.

           CCS GENERATES BOTH VIDEO LINE-UPS AND WANTED POSTERS.
           ADDITIONALLY, WE ARE INCLUDING 2 FREE COPIES OF SUSPECT ID
           COMPOSITE SOFTWARE, WHICH ALSO PRINTS WANTED POSTERS OF COMPOSITE
           DRAWING SUSPECTS. SEE ATTACHMENTS.

     1.3.  (Mandatory) The VIS must be easy to use and provide a
           user-friendly interface employing menus and prompts. The
           workstation software should be easy to learn and simple to operate,
           even by non-technical personnel.

IMAGEWARE SOFTWARE, INC.                  3               PHONE 619-673-8600

REQUEST FOR                     VIDEO IMAGING SYSTEM                11/11/99
PROPOSAL #098002                  MILWAUKEE COUNTY
BID #5467

           THE CRIME CAPTURE SYSTEM HAS A VERY EASY NAVIGATION METHOD.
           FUNCTIONS ARE DISPLAYED ON THE FIRST SCREEN, AND THE USER
           PICKS A FUNCTION. EACH SCREEN WITHIN THE FUNCTION ALWAYS INCLUDES
           THE ABILITY TO GO TO THE PREVIOUS SCREEN OR TO GO TO THE MAIN MENU
           SCREEN. NO TOOL BARS OR TEXT MENUS ARE REQUIRED. THE SYSTEM IS A
           WINDOWS PRODUCT, AND MAKES FULL USE OF THE WINDOWS SCREENING
           PROPERTIES. OUR ENGINEERS HAVE DESIGNED ALL OF OUR SOFTWARE WITH
           NON-TECHNICAL USERS IN MIND. THE AMOUNT OF SCREENS NECESSARY ARE
           KEPT TO AN ABSOLUTE MINIMUM. DROP DOWN MENUS, POP-UP WARNINGS AND
           STANDARD WINDOWS FUNCTION FEATURES ARE ALL INHERENT. SIMPLE
           BUTTONS AND ICONS MAKE IT VERY EASY TO LEARN AND OPERATE.

     1.4.  (Mandatory) The VIS must incorporate non-customized software that
           can be updated as new features, enhancements, and upgrades become
           available.

           CCS IS WRITTEN FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT IN GENERAL. THE PROPOSED SYSTEM
           IS NON-CUSTOMIZED FOR MILWAUKEE COUNTY. AS CCS IS ENHANCED OR
           UPGRADED, THESE FEATURES CAN BE ADDED TO ALL SYSTEMS, NON-SPECIFIC
           TO MILWAUKEE COUNTY, BUT INCLUDING MILWAUKEE COUNTY. THIS ALLOWS
           IMAGEWARE TO KEEP ALL THEIR CUSTOMERS ON A UNIFIED VERSION OF CCS,
           KEEPING MAINTENANCE COSTS DOWN.

           HOWEVER, WITHIN CCS, EACH INDIVIDUAL DEPARTMENT CAN CUSTOMIZE
           THEIR OWN SYSTEM WITHOUT ENDANGERING THE UNIFORMITY OF SYSTEMS
           THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. MEANING, PICK LISTS CAN BE CHANGED, FIELDS
           CAN BE DEFINED BY USERS AND REPORTS CAN BE DESIGNED AND SAVED.

           NOTE: IF THE DIRECT CONNECT OPTION 2 IS CHOSEN FOR THE CJIS
           INTERFACE, THE LEVEL OF CUSTOMIZATION WILL INCREASE.

     1.5.  (Desirable) The VIS should be a modular system that allows
           Milwaukee County to purchase only the software needed and affords
           the ability to expand functionality at a future date.

           IN FACT, OUR SYSTEM IS OF MODULARE NATURE. MILWAUKEE COUNTY CAN
           PURCHASE ONLY WHAT IS NECESSARY AND CAN EASILY EXPAND THEIR
           CAPABILITIES AT A LATER DATE WITHOUT INCURRING ADDITIONAL HARDWARE
           COSTS.

     1.6.  (Mandatory) The VIS software and hardware must be year 2000
           compliant. All dates must contain a century indicator and date
           compares and calculations must work correctly in the new
           millennium.

           CCS AND ALL THE C.R.I.M.E.S. MODULAR SOFTWARE HAS BEEN TESTED AND
           DEVELOPED TO BE YEAR 2000 COMPLIANT.

     1.7.  (Mandatory) The VIS must create, transmit, and store video images
           that meet all State and Federal American National Standards
           Institute (ANSI) and National Institute of Standards and
           Technology (NIST) standards.

           CCS MEETS ALL ANSI/NIST STANDARDS. IT IS CAPABLE OF BOTH IMPORTING
           AND EXPORTING NIST PACKAGES.

     1.8.  (Preferred) The VIS should combine video images with fingerprints,
           demographics, and arrest charge data, and transmit this
           information as a standard packet to the State Crime Information
           Bureau (CIB).

BID #5467

           CCS IS CAPABLE OF COMBINING THE LIVESCAN FINGERPRINT IMAGES AND
           DATA WITH THE MUGSHOT PHOTO DATA, AND EXPORTING THEM AS A SINGLE
           PACKAGE.


2. SYSTEM SECURITY
- ------------------

     2.1.  (Mandatory) The VIS must include security that limits access to
           functionality. The respondent must fully describe system security,
           including the maximum number of users.

           SYSTEM SECURITY WILL MAKE USE OF BOTH OPERATING SYSTEM PERMISSIONS
           AS WELL AS DATABASE SOFTWARE SECURITY. THIS WILL ALLOW ACCESS TO
           CERTAIN FUNCTIONS AND DATA TO BE CONTROLLED BY THE SYSTEM
           ADMINISTRATOR. THESE PRIVILEGES AND PERMISSIONS WILL BE GIVEN AND
           CONTROLLED BY USER LOGIN. THERE WILL BE AN ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTION
           AVAILABLE ONLY TO THE SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR, WHERE THESE
           PERMISSIONS AND PRIVILEGES ARE MAINTAINED. THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF
           USERS IS UNLIMITED, HOWEVER, THIS PROPOSAL LIMITS THE CONCURRENCY
           TO 25.

           SYSTEM SECURITY CONTROLS WHETHER THE IMAGES ARE READ ONLY THROUGH
           THE OPERATING SYSTEM PERMISSIONS AS WELL AS THE DATABASE SECURITY.
           IMAGES MUST BE EXPORTED FROM THE DATABASE AND IMPORTED INTO OTHER
           SOFTWARE TO ALLOW ANY EDITING OF THE IMAGE. IT CANNOT BE SAVED
           BACK TO THE DATABASE IN ITS ALTERED STATE AS THE ORIGINAL IMAGE.
           HOWEVER IT CAN BE ADDED TO THE RECORD AS A NEW IMAGE.

     2.2.  (Preferred) The VIS should allow unlimited users and limit access
           to functionality by user ID.

           CCS ALLOWS FOR AN UNLIMITED NUMBER OF USERS AND PASSWORDS TO BE
           GIVEN. CONCURRENCY IS CONTROLLED BY THE NUMBER OF LICENSES SOLD.
           THIS PROPOSAL IS WRITTEN FOR 25 CONCURRENT USERS, AS SPECIFIED,
           BUT WITH UNLIMITED USER ID'S. ADDITIONAL CONCURRENT USERS CAN BE
           PURCHASED AT ANY TIME. FUNCTIONALITY AND ACCESS ARE LIMITED BY
           USER ID.

           NOTE: IMAGEWARE CAN PROVIDE THE ABILITY TO SEARCH THE DATABASE
           USING A SECURE INTRANET AND STANDARD BROWSER, THUS ALLOWING
           UNLIMITED USERS, HOWEVER, THIS FUNCTION IS NOT PRICED IN THE QUOTE.

     2.3.  (Mandatory) The VIS must allow the ability to delete unwanted
           saved images. System security must control use of this function.

           THE SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR CAN AUTHORIZE DELETIONS BY CERTAIN USERS
           THROUGH THE USER ID PASSWORDS.

     2.4.  (Desirable) The VIS should allow the ability to disassociate a
           captured image from incorrect data and re-associate it to correct
           data. System security should control use of this function.

           IF THE USER HAS EDITING RIGHTS, THEN THIS MAY BE ACCOMPLISHED.

3. SYSTEM INTEGRATION
- ---------------------
     3.1.  (Mandatory) The respondent must fully describe how the VIS will
           integrate with Milwaukee County's booking system, the Criminal
           Justice Information System (CJIS). CJIS stores demographic data in
           DB2 tables (version 4.1) on the County's mainframe. Milwaukee
           County's mainframe utilizes an Amdahl GS425 mainframe running
           MVS/ESA version 4.2.2. An operating system upgrade from MVS/ESA to
           OS390 will occur some time in 1999.

           IMAGEWARE IS OFFERING TWO SEPARATE INTERFACE OPTIONS.

           OPTION 1 FILE TRANSFER. THIS IS THE TRADITIONAL, YET EFFECTIVE,
           LOW COST METHOD OF TRANSFERRING DATA BETWEEN DISPARATE SYSTEMS. IT
           REQUIRES THE CJIS SYSTEM, UPON COMPLETION OF ANY RECORD, TO CREATE
           A FLAT FILE (B.TXT, ASCII, NIST, ETC.) AND TEMPORARILY STORE THIS
           FILE IN A DIRECTORY THAT CCS CONSTANTLY MONITORS. IT MAY EVEN BE
           THE SAME EXACT FILE THAT IS BEING WRITTEN FOR THE IDENTIX
           INTERFACE. ONCE CCS RECOGNIZES THAT A FILE HAS BEEN CREATED, IT
           WILL INSTANTLY IMPORT THE DATA INTO THE CCS DATABASE. WHEN THE
           USER THEN GOES TO TAKE A MUGSHOT AND GATHER ADDITIONAL SMT
           INFORMATION ON THIS SAME SUBJECT, THE DATA FIELDS ARE ALREADY
           POPULATED. BASICALLY, ANY TIME A RECORD IS CREATED, EDITED OR
           DELETED FROM WITHIN THE CJIS DATABASE, THIS INFORMATION
           AUTOMATICALLY FLOWS TO CCS AND IDENTIX, THEREFOR SYNCHRONIZING
           BOTH SYSTEMS AND ELIMINATING DUPLICATE ENTRY. THE FILE TRANSFER
           METHOD CARRIES MANY BENEFITS:

           -  IT IS VERY COST EFFECTIVE
           -  IT IS VERY FAST
           -  THE SAME FLAT FILE CAN BE USED BY MULTIPLE VENDORS AND SYSTEMS
           -  IT IS EASY TO TROUBLESHOOT AND MAINTAIN
           -  CHANGES IN DATA CONTENT (NEW REQUIREMENTS) CAN BE MADE
              RELATIVELY EASILY
           -  IF CJIS IS DOWN, IT DOES NOT AFFECT CCS.
           -  IT CAN BE QUICKLY ENGINEERED
           -  NO THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE IS NEEDED
           -  IT REQUIRES ONLY LIMITED CUSTOMIZATION

           OPTION 2 - DIRECT CONNECT - THIS METHOD IS THE MORE RELIABLE OF
           THE TWO, YET IT INVOLVES MORE CUSTOMIZATION AND ENGINEERING TIME.
           CCS CONSTANTLY MONITORS ALL FIELDS WITHIN CJIS AND REPLICATES DATA
           TO THE CCS DATABASE AS CHANGES ARE MADE. USING THIRD PARTY
           SOFTWARE, STARPIPES ENABLES WINDOWS CLIENT AND SERVER APPLICATIONS
           TO ACCESS IBM DB2 DATABASES USING TC/PIP. STARPIPES OPERATES WITH
           STARQUEST'S STARSQL SOFTWARE, AN ODBC DRIVER FOR WINDOWS THAT USES
           IBM'S DRDA DATABASE INTEROPERABILITY PROTOCOL TO ANY DB2
           RELATIONAL DATABASE. THIS METHOD DOES REQUIRE A HIGH LEVEL OF
           ENGINEERING AND WILL TAKE SEVERAL MONTHS TO ACCOMPLISH. THIS
           METHOD DOES REQUIRE CCS TO REPLICATE DATA, BUT MORE EFFICIENTLY
           AND RELIABLY THAN THE FILE TRANSFER METHOD.

     3.2.  (Mandatory) The VIS cannot utilize screen scraping to retrieve
           data from CJIS.

           SCREEN SCRAPING WILL NOT BE USED.

     3.3.  (Preferred) The VIS should directly interface with the DB2 data
           stored on the

           mainframe and should not employ database replication or a mirrored
           database solution.

           SEE ANSWER TO 3.1.

     3.4.  (Desirable) If the preferred VIS interface is not proposed and a
           separate database is required, the database should be
           non-proprietary and the respondent should be responsible for
           insuring that the VIS database remains synchronized with the CJIS
           database. Adds, updates, and deletions should only occur within
           CJIS. Any polling required to update the VIS database should be
           done by the respondent.

           CCS IS AN OPEN ARCHITECTURE, ODBC COMPLIANT SYSTEM. THE DATA
           TRANSFER OPTIONS RECOMMENDED IN SECTION 3.1. BOTH INSURE THAT THE
           VIS REMAINS SYNCHRONIZED WITH CJIS. THE DATA FLOW IS SUCH THAT ALL
           ADDS, EDITS AND DELETIONS OCCUR ONLY WITHIN CJIS AND ARE THEN
           TRANSFERRED TO CCS. CCS WILL DO ALL POLLING OF EITHER THE SHARED
           DIRECTORY OR THE CJIS DATABASE.

     3.5.  (Mandatory) The VIS must integrate with the existing Criminal
           Justice Facility (CFJ) local area network (LAN), a mixed Token
           Ring/Ethernet environment (moving to all Ethernet) with Novel IPX
           (version 3.12, upgrading to 4.11 in 1999) and TCP/IP communication
           protocol.

           THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET.

     3.6.  (Mandatory) The VIS software should run on existing CFJ LAN
           workstations running Windows 95 and should be upgradeable to
           Windows 98 (MINIMUM CONFIGURATION BELOW).

     -     Pentium 166Mhz Processor
     -     32 MB RAM
     -     1.2 GB Hard Drive
     -     15" SVGA Monitor
     -     OS- Windows 95 or 98

           THE CCS INVESTIGATIVE SOFTWARE IS CAPABLE OF RUNNING ON THE ABOVE
           HARDWARE GIVEN THAT THE SYSTEMS GRAPHICS ARE CAPABLE OF 800X600
           RESOLUTION AND CAN DISPLAY MORE THAN 256 COLORS. CCS INVESTIGATIVE
           RUNS ON BOTH WINDOWS 95 AND WINDOWS 98.

           RECOMMENDED: IWS RECOMMENDS THAT THE WORKSTATIONS BE A PENTIUM II
           PROCESSOR WITH 64 MB RAM. ALL GRAPHICS MUST BE CAPABLE OF MORE
           THAN 256 COLORS AND 800X600 RESOLUTION.

     3.7.  (Mandatory) The VIS must have the ability to integrate with
           Milwaukee County's Identix live-scan fingerprint system.

           CCS HAS SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATED WITH THE IDENTIX LIVESCAN SYSTEM
           AT SEVERAL SITES. DATA FLOW CAN BE EITHER WAY. STANDARD NIST TYPE
           DATA TRANSACTIONS ARE USED TO ACCOMPLISH THIS TASK. IT IS ALSO
           POSSIBLE TO COMBINE BOTH THE CCS NIST PACKAGE AND LIVESCAN NIST
           PACKAGE FOR FORWARDING TO THE STATE'S CIB.

4. VIDEO IMAGE SERVER

           IWS IS PROPOSING TO INSTALL A NEW IBM NETFINITY 5500 SERVER AS
           DESCRIBED IN REQUIREMENT 4.2.. IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO UTILIZE THE
           EXISTING SERVER, HOWEVER, UPGRADES WOULD NEED TO BE MADE TO MATCH
           THE SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE SERVER IN SECTION 4.2.

     4.2.  (Mandatory) The VIS should accommodate a minimum of 5 years of
           video images on-line (approximately 80,000 images per year).

5. ARCHIVING VIDEO IMAGES
- -------------------------
     5.1.  (Mandatory) The VIS must archive video images and allow retrieval
           of archived images. The respondent must fully describe an
           archiving solution including the amount of disk space.

           CURRENTLY, THE ARCHIVING SOLUTION IS A MANUAL ONE. RECORDS AND
           DATA MAY BE MOVED TO ANOTHER HARD DRIVE OR CD BY DATE AND CONTROL
           NUMBER. ONE RECORD WITH TWO PHOTOS IS APPROX. 80K IN SIZE. ONCE
           ARCHIVED, THEY MAY BE SEARCHED BY SIMPLY IDENTIFYING THE DRIVE AND
           DATABASE DURING LOG-IN.

           ENGINEERS ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON AN AUTOMATIC ARCHIVING
           SOLUTION. WHEN READY, THIS WILL BE A NON-CUSTOMIZED ENHANCEMENT
           AND DELIVERED TO ALL CCS CUSTOMERS.

     5.2.  (Preferred) The VIS should archive video images after 5 years.

           SEE QUESTION 5.1.

     5.3.  (Preferred) The VIS should also archive fingerprint images
           (approximately 60,000 per yearly, 1 MB per fingerprint image set).

           OUR SOLUTION DOES NOT CURRENTLY ARCHIVE FINGERPRINT IMAGES, BUT
           THERE IS ROOM FOR DISCUSSION. THE PROPOSED SYSTEM IS DESIGNED FOR
           RECORDS THAT INCLUDE AN AVERAGE OF 2.5 PHOTOGRAPHS AND TAKE UP
           ONLY 80K TO 100K PER RECORD. FINGERPRINT IMAGES TAKE UP
           SUBSTANTIALLY MORE DISK SPACE.


6. CAPTURING VIDEO IMAGES

           accepting and saving the image. The operator must be able to reject
           all unacceptable or incorrect image and capture a new image.

           THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET. THIS FUNCTION IS INHERENT IN CCS.

     6.6.  (Mandatory) The VIS must allow the operator to easily adjust the
           video camera using capture station software to obtain the best
           quality image. The system must include functionality to help the
           user properly align the image (i.e. cross hairs, bullseye, etc.)

           THERE ARE CROSSHAIRS AND GUIDELINES WITHIN THE VIEWING AREA TO
           ENSURE THAT ALL PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN MEET NIST REQUIREMENTS. ALL
           CAMERA FUNCTIONS ARE CONTROLLED FROM THE CAPTURE WORKSTATION. THIS
           INCLUDES ZOOM, PAN, TILT AND FOCUS.

     6.7.  (Preferred) The VIS should allow the operator to easily adjust the
           brightness and contrast of the video image using capture station
           software.

           THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET.

     6.8.  (Mandatory) The VIS must capture a minimum of one front and one
           side view video image per record.

           CCS IS CAPABLE OF ASSOCIATING AN UNLIMITED AMOUNT OF PHOTOGRAPHS
           PER RECORD. THESE PHOTOGRAPHS MAY INCLUDE MUGSHOTS, SMT'S,
           PROPERTY, EVIDENCE AND CRIME SCENE PHOTOS.

     6.9.  (Preferred) The VIS should allow the ability to capture multiple
           images related to a particular record (i.e. scars, marks, tattoos,
           and scanned documents).

           CCS IS CAPABLE OF ASSOCIATING AN UNLIMITED AMOUNT OF PHOTOGRAPHS
           PER RECORD. THESE PHOTOGRAPHS MAY INCLUDE MUGSHOTS, SMT'S,
           PROPERTY, EVIDENCE AND CRIME SCENE PHOTOS. BMP AND JPG FILES MAY
           BE IMPORTED USING A TWAIN COMPLIANT SCANNER OR CAMERA.

     6.10. (Desirable) The VIS should allow the ability to annotate an image
           with free-form text.

           EVERY IMAGE CAN HAVE FREE FORM TEXT ASSOCIATED WITH IT. THIS TEXT
           MAY ALSO BE KEY-WORD SEARCHED, CREATING A VERY POWERFUL
           INVESTIGATIVE TOOL.

     6.11. (Desirable) the VIS should allow the ability to capture and store
           digital images from any TWAIN compatible device.

           ANY TWAIN COMPLIANT DEVICE MAY BE USED TO CAPTURE AND STORE IMAGES.

     6.12. (Desirable) The VIS should allow the ability to export images in
           multiple formats to any Windows application.

      proper naming standards for the converted images and to populate the
      vendor's database.

      11.1  (Mandatory) The VIS must allow users to retrieve, display, and
            print converted existing images. It must also allow users to create
            video line-ups and wanted posters using these images.

2.3  EXPERIENCE & REFERENCES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ImageWare Software, Inc. has proven its ability to successfully complete
projects of the size and magnitude as the Milwaukee County system, with the
state-wide implementation in the state of Arizona. ImageWare is committed to
the law enforcement industry, and to providing tools for the quick resolution
of crime. This is evident by the development of the C.R.I.M.E.S.-R- suite of
modules. C.R.I.M.E.S. is designed to be a tool kit of software for law
enforcement to use in the quick, effective, and safe resolution of crime
cases.

C.R.I.M.E.S. SUITE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT PRODUCTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     C.R.I.M.E.S. is a modular family of affordable, easy-to-use software
applications that aid law enforcement with the criminal investigative
process. Currently there are five Windows-TM- based C.R.I.M.E.S. modules;
Suspect ID, Crime Lab, Vehicle ID, Face ID and the Crime Capture System. Over
the next two years, ImageWare plans to add additional modules to the
C.R.I.M.E.S. software family. Included will be videotape enhancement, face
aging, crime scene diagramming, forgery analysis and evidence storage. The
multiple module system is fully integrated so information entered into one
module is reflected in all others, thus eliminating the time and expense
required to interface programs designed by different software companies.

SUSPECT ID-R-
     Suspect ID is the composite module of the C.R.I.M.E.S. software family.
Using an online cognitive interview process, officers, witnesses and victims
can accurately create full-color, photo-realistic suspect composites within
minutes. The digital composites are constructed from catalogs of facial
features. The catalogs are comprised of actual photographs, not hand-drawn
sketches, so composites from Suspect ID look like people, not like pencil
sketches.

      The Suspect ID module was designed specifically for use by law
enforcement agencies. Even officers with little or no computer knowledge or
artistic talent can complete a suspect composite simply by pointing and
clicking with a mouse. Suspect ID is a standard PC-based software application
that can be installed on a laptop computer and taken into the field, allowing
officers to conduct interviews before the witnesses' and victims' memories
fade. For rapid identification, officers can distribute completed composites
within minutes via radio, fax or e-mail.

CRIME LAB-R-
     The second module of the C.R.I.M.E.S. family, Crime Lab, is a
sophisticated image enhancement and editing program used to fulfill a host of
investigative imaging needs such as updating old photos, creating
non-prejudicial line-ups, removing distracting backgrounds and enhancing
surveillance videos.

VEHICLE ID-TM-

     Vehicle ID is a revolutionary photo-based software program that helps
officers quickly identify and disseminate vehicle information for the purpose
of locating a stolen car or a vehicle involved in a crime. Vehicle ID's
comprehensive database of over 1,000 vehicles can be searched by features,
description, or VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). To ensure a more
accurate identification, vehicles matching the query description can be
viewed from front, rear, side or three quarter angles. The program also
includes a custom paint shop for depicting the exact color of the vehicle. A
color copy of the suspect vehicle can then be produced and immediately
broadcast, printed or faxed to officers in the field to quickly apprehend
suspected criminals.

     Information from NICB's (National Insurance Crime Bureau) VINassist-TM-
program has been incorporated into Vehicle ID, enabling officers to obtain
images of vehicles based on VIN translation codes. This feature helps
officers identify stolen vehicles in cases of switched VINs.

FACE ID-TM-
     Face ID is a state-of-the-art facial recognition and retrieval program
that helps officers positively identify both unknown suspects and criminals
with multiple aliases. Suspect images that have been captured on a
surveillance video, suspect composite or photograph can be searched against
any digital database of faces. This powerful investigative tool can also be
used at the time of booking to immediately identify criminals with multiple
aliases. In addition, the program's face averaging capability allows a
witness to search for a suspect by "averaging" those photos that have
features similar to those of the actual suspect. Rather than having a witness
look through a database one photo at a time, the detective can utilize the
face averaging capability to dramatically speed up the identification process.

CRIME CAPTURE SYSTEM-TM-
     Crime Capture System is a flexible, easy-to-use, and affordable digital
imaging solution for automated capture, storage and retrieval of booking
images and related information. The Crime Capture System utilizes off-the-shelf
hardware that complies with open industry standards and easily integrates
with an agency's records or AFIS system (Automated Fingerprint Identification
System). Utilizing client/server architecture, the Crime Capture System can
operate on an array of systems ranging from a stand-alone PC to a wide area
network.

IWS has installed investigative software in more than 650 departments
throughout the country whose needs are similar, if not exact to those of
Milwaukee County. All of the following receive 24 hour customer support with
four hour on-site response time.


ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY
- -----------------------------------

DESCRIPTION OF INSTALLED SYSTEM AND ITS FEATURES:
Central Server is IBM Netfinity server, dual host cluster, with automatic
fail-over in case of one system failure. Shared disk array with RAID level 5
implemented. 15 county intake facilities, with both capture and investigative
Crime Capture System workstations. 2 additional sites at county court
facilities. Features include an interface with the Identix livescan device,
taking all demographic data, creating the record and populating the data
fields, making the image capture portion the only step required by the
operator. All information and images are immediately available for all other
investigative workstations on the network. Arizona DPS has also recently
issued a purchase order for the addition of Face ID-TM- to be added to the
central server. Each county can then purchase the client software and conduct
facial recognition searches using images or composites produced by
Suspect ID-TM-. Crime Lab-TM- was also included in each investigative
workstation.


FACT SHEET
The State of Arizona in an effort to consolidate images and booking
information, has contracted with ImageWare Software, Inc. to install a
statewide digital mugshot repository called Mug Photo Interface (MPI). In
those locations that are part of the system, the booking process begins at
the Identix livescan station where an operator captures the suspect's
fingerprints and enters required demographic and biographical information.
Once the information is entered into the livescan system, the data
automatically transfers to the MPI system via a common linking number. At the
MPI capture station, additional mandatory information is recorded, and
digital images of the suspect are taken. Upon completion of a record, the
information is immediately transmitted via the AZAFIS network to a central
repository housed at the Department of Public Safety. At this point, the data
is readily available for searching purposes by any agency in the state which
has access to the database.

An ImageWare supplied investigative station is used to perform several
functions including quick and advanced searches for querying the database,
mugbook searches and views for witness identification of a suspect, line-ups,
and in the near future, facial recognition which is used to identify unknown
suspects and criminals.

heartbeat, the failover takes place automatically, and the drive array fails
over to the control of the now active server. There is dial in capability for
diagnostic purposes. The operating system is Windows NT Server 4.0 Enterprise
Edition with Microsoft Cluster Server.

Capture & Investigative Stations: Each Investigative Station is an IBM 300XL
PC with 64MB RAM and 6.1 GB of hard disk storage. The capture camera is a
Pulnix TMC-73M with a Computar zoom lens. The camera and lens are mounted on
a Hitachi pan and tilt device. The capture card is an Integral Technology
MV-Pro. The camera is mounted on its side to accommodate the NIST Best
Practice Recommendations and proprietary software does a rotation of the
video live feed before it is displayed by the graphics card. Printing and
scanning take place on an Epson Stylus 800 printer and an Epson 636
Expressions scanner (SCSI connection). The operating system is Windows NT
Workstation 4.0. Each capture and investigative station is connected to the
central servers via a wide area network utilizing Ethernet and TCP/IP
protocol. Each station runs client software that connects to the central
server's database.

           San Diego, California - January 15, 1998 - After an extensive
evaluation process, the State of Arizona announced Wednesday that they had
awarded the Arizona Statewide Digital Mug Photo Interface Contract to
ImageWare Software, Inc. The contract is expected to exceed one million
dollars and is the first contract of its kind to be awarded for a statewide
mugshot system. "We are very pleased to provide Arizona law enforcement with
a complete solution for their mug photo needs," says Jim Miller, President
and CEO of ImageWare Software, Inc., "We feel the Crime Capture System will
provide a quantum leap forward for the State."

           Under the terms of the contract, the State of Arizona will utilize
ImageWare's Crime Capture System (CCS), a state-of-the-art digital booking,
identification and retrieval program. The main CCS database will be housed at
the Arizona Department of Public Safety. Seventeen sites will be capable of
capturing mugshots, SMT (scars, marks, and tattoos) photos, and descriptive
data for each suspect

they arrest. Each remote site will also receive an investigative workstation
capable of searching and viewing the mugshot database and creating photo
line-ups. Once information is entered into the remote database, the central
repository is immediately updated allowing all agencies access to the most
recent information. Officers and Detectives will no longer have to spend
hundreds of hours searching through file cabinets of photographs to identify
a suspect or generate a photo line-up, instead they will use CCS's central
repository and systematically search the digital database of images for
similarities between suspects, thus speeding up case processing. The new CCS
system will also interface directly with the existing Arizona Automated
Fingerprint Identification System (AZAFIS) network.

           The State of Arizona and ImageWare have agreed to an aggressive
implementation schedule which will have the system fully operational by June
1998. Once the first phase is complete, there are plans to move forward with
the implementation of additional C.R.I.M.E.S.-TM- modules including: Suspect
ID-TM- (a composite program), Crime Lab-R- (an image enhancement and edit
program), Vehicle ID-TM- (a vehicle identification program), and what Ben
Armstrong, the Lead Business Analyst with the Maricopa County Sheriff's
Office considers, "one of the most promising law enforcement tools," Face
ID-TM- (a facial recognition program). All of these modules combined will

              POLICE SING PRAISES OF NEW STATEWIDE MUG SHOT SYSTEM
                     PUBLISHED ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1998

BYLINE: BY JUDI VILLA, THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC

In seconds, a suspect's booking mug can be seen by law enforcement agencies
throughout the state. A few computer keystrokes, and a detective can have
more pictures than he'll ever need for a photographic lineup. And if there is
no suspect, that same detective can type in a physical description and get a
list of potential bad guys in no time.

Welcome to the Mug Photo Interface, a subsystem of the Arizona Automated
Fingerprint Identification System. MPI uses electronic imaging to capture mug
shot photos and transmit them immediately to a statewide image database
operated by the state Department of Public Safety. "It is going to
revolutionize (police work) just like fingerprints did," said Clyde Tess, a
crime lab supervisor with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. "It'll solve
cases faster. It'll

help in identifying suspects faster. "If a suspect is entered into the
database in Phoenix then goes down to Tucson and commits a crime, the victim
can identify the suspect the same day. Before an agency would have to send a
photo or fax it. Faxes aren't always that good, and the mail takes a day or
two. This is instant."

The MPI system went online Thursday in 10 counties. The first booking mug was
entered by the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office in Nogales. "It's pretty
nice," said Ramon Villela, a detention officer in Nogales. "It's going to
make our jobs easier and faster, and the detectives are going to be able to
do lineups faster."

Arizona's program, funded by a grant from the Arizona Criminal Justice
Enhancement Fund, will be one of the most progressive in the country,
officials say. Although some cities, including San Diego and Boston, have
limited imaging databases, only Arkansas has a statewide system. And that one
collects information form only six sites. Seven more sites, including police
departments in Mesa, Tempe, Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Glendale, will be added
to MPI by next summer. and by the end of this year, five sheriff's
departments that already have their own mug photo systems will be linked to
the statewide system. A few agencies, like the Chandler Police Department,
have purchased their own equipment to hook into the system.

"Here's a great thing," said Mark Hatcher, an identification supervisor for
the Mesa Police Department and chairman of the MPI Task Force. The task
force, a grass-roots effort with members from five police agencies in Arizona
has been working for two years to implement the technology. "This opens up
communication from Yuma County to Navajo County," Hatcher said.
"Geographically, they're at different ends of the state, but they can do a
search just like they were here at DPS."

The system standardizes the way mug shots are taken and stored, sets up a
"major clearinghouse" for all photos and allows investigators anywhere in the
state to search for, retrieve and print out mugs and suspect information from
virtually anywhere in the state. It also can be used to create photo lineups
and books of mug shots for victims to look through. "Say a suspect does a
robbery with a mask, and he's got a tattoo on his arm," Villela said.
"Detectives can take that picture of that tattoo and scan it into the system,
and it'll give you everybody that has that tattoo." The system also is
capable of tracking gang affiliations, weapons and registered sex offenders.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, LAKEWOOD
- ----------------------------

ImageWare Software has great experience in the area of composite creation and
the identification of suspects using those composites. The most recent and
important news involves the facial recognition software, Face ID. This
software was created using algorithms developed from MIT research, which
ImageWare has the exclusive right to offer to the law enforcement industry.
The software describes a portion of the face of an individual mathematically,
from the eyebrows to the lips. This represents the majority of facial
features used to differentiate individuals and discounts such things as hair
length and style, eyeglasses, hats, and other adornments.

Face ID is presently installed at the Lakewood substation of the Los Angeles
Sheriff's Department, and was recently used to capture a carjacking suspect.
The victim gave a very accurate description to the Sheriff's Department, and
a composite was created using ImageWare's Suspect ID. This composite was used
to then search their mugshot database using Face ID. The returned search
results contained a suspect that the victim identified from a lineup. This
search took approximately 90 seconds to perform, and caused the identification
and apprehension of the suspect, and subsequently the District Attorney's
office has filed charges against the suspect. The press release of this
incident follows, along with a view of the composite and actual photo of the
suspect.

              DETECTIVES UTILIZE FACE ID-TM- FACIAL RECOGNITION SOFTWARE
                       TO ARREST CAR-JACKING AND BATTERY SUSPECT.

San Diego, California - November 3, 1997 - Just three days after installation
of their newest crime fighting weapon, detectives with the Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Department arrested a car jacking and battery suspect "that would
never had been identified without Face ID-TM- facial recognition software",
according to Sergeant Bill Conley of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Office. With
no leads, frustrated detectives had given up on the case weeks prior and
considered it dead until the installation of Face ID. Using a composite of
the suspect, detectives employed the facial recognition program to search
their digital mugshot database for possible matches. Within seconds the
automated search results displayed photos in rank order that were similar to
those of the composite. Detectives investigated the matches, created a
photo-line-up and two witnesses positively identified Eduardo Ochoa as the
suspect. Ochoa was arrested on October 30, 1997 and is being held in lieu of
$125,000 bail. Sergeant Conley was amazed and commented, "Face ID is one of
the most innovative breakthroughs in law enforcement technology."

Face ID, one of the modules of the C.R.I.M.E.S.-R- suite of integrated law
enforcement programs developed by ImageWare Software, Inc., is a
state-of-the-art facial recognition and retrieval program. Now, investigators
no longer have to spend hundreds of hours trying to identify a suspect.
Detectives can take a suspect composite created in ImageWare's Suspect ID-TM-
program, and seamlessly export it to Face ID, which in turn will
systematically search any digital database of booking images to identify
possible suspects. Similarly, a suspect's image caught on a bank or
convenience store surveillance video can be run against a digital photo
database for possible identification. With Face ID, officers will be able to
utilize this facial recognition technology at the time of booking to
immediately identify a criminal with multiple identities or outstanding
warrants.

San Diego-based ImageWare Software, Inc. is a leader and innovator in
PC-based digital imaging, with its primary focus on public sector and law
enforcement software. Through its growing family of modules, ImageWare is
effectively creating a fully integrated solution to assist in the resolution
of crime worldwide. Currently, the C.R.I.M.E.S. suite consists of five
modules: Suspect ID (facial composite module), Crime Lab-TM- (an image
enhancement and edit program), Vehicle ID-TM- (vehicle identification
program), Face ID (facial recognition application) and Crime Capture System
(digital booking module) which are being used by more than 500 law
enforcement agencies worldwide. ImageWare Software, Inc. is a privately held

2.4 MAINTENANCE
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maintenance for the system will be 7 days per week, 24 hours a day, with all
agencies in MILWAUKEE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE having just one toll-free
number to call for service. ImageWare will meet the response times as
outlined in the RFP. Initial calls will be received by the IWS Help Desk. If
no one is available, a call back will be made within 1 hour. Within a 8 hour
period, a hardware technician will be on-site to troubleshoot and correct the
problem.

If any installation within any agency will require access to restricted areas
by IWS employees, it is expected that information will be given to ImageWare
during contract negotiations. ImageWare will make any and all information
available to the MILWAUKEE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE for each employee who must
have access to the restricted areas.

The equipment and software supplied as part of this proposal will be fully
guaranteed for a minimum period of 12 months. All prices quoted as part of
this proposal are guaranteed for a period of 12 months.

The central server comes complete with dial-in modem, and the IBM Netfinity
Manager software and clients installed on each supplied workstation. This
will enable the customer service rep to access, and actually 'take over'
workstations when necessary to diagnose and repair any problems.

Software support first level is via toll free number to phone support. This
customer service rep has the ability to escalate the problem up to level 2
support, which is an R&D engineer. It that person requires an on-site rep,
one will be dispatched. We also include IBM hardware support with each IBM
system. Sometimes, the ImageWare programmer just needs a set of hands and
eyes on-site, and an IBM technician will be dispatched. Dial-in access is
available to both levels 1 and 2, and using Netfinity Manager, many problems
can be diagnosed and resolved by 'taking over' the workstation that is having
problems, seeing the error happen, and resolving the situation immediately
via remote connection.


2.5 TRAINING
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Training will be accomplished at each agency location, using their system
equipment. All handout materials and reference materials will be furnished.
It is recommended that at least one training session be video taped and
duplicated for each agency for on-going training purposes. This proposal
includes two full days of training of no more than 20 people at a time.

For Training schedules see page 26.

2.6 WORKPLAN
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PROJECT ORGANIZATIONS & STAFFING
- --------------------------------

A Project Manager will be named by ImageWare Software, Inc., to oversee and
manage the planning, monitoring, reporting, and acceptance of the system
outlined in the proposal if ImageWare is the successful vendor. This person's
resume will be supplied during contract negotiations. It is expected that the
MILWAUKEE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE will also name a Project Coordinator who
will work with the IWS Project Manager, who will be responsible for all tasks
outlined as COUNTY responsibility on the task list.

APPROACH TO PROJECT
- -------------------
ImageWare has a well-defined, disciplined approach to program management
which includes:

    -  Attention to customer satisfaction
    -  Regular communications with customer via weekly status meetings,
       monthly project status reports, and quarterly reviews
    -  Regularly scheduled status meetings with the project staff

ImageWare will avoid and mitigate risks by reviewing, prioritizing, and
monitoring key project risks throughout the project life cycle. Identified
project risks will be recorded and tracked to resolution. Identification of
risks and potential mitigation plans will be reviewed with the project staff
monthly, documented in the project reports, and presented to the MILWAUKEE
COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE's Project Coordinator during the project reviews. By
identifying risks early before they have impacted the project, the actual
impact to the project can be decreased, if not totally eliminated. An
inescapable fact of project management is that there are always risks. The
key to ensuring a successful project is to manage them. This means the
following must be done early, before the risk actually impacts the project:

    -  Identify risks (technical, schedule, and cost)
    -  Prioritize and quantify risks
    -  Assign responsibility
    -  Mitigate (determine mitigation action, responsible person, due date)
    -  Track Progress

2.7 FINANCIAL STABILITY
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IWS has included financial statements from 1996, 1997 and through November of
1998. When reviewing the attached financials for November 30, 1998 several
issues should be noted. On the Consolidating Income Statement included in the
11 months, results are approximately $1 million of one time costs related to
the acquisition and integration of XImage operations into ImageWare. When
reviewing the 11/30/98 Balance Sheet, the fact is that IMAGEWARE IS (AS OF
3/1/99) LESS THAN THIRTY DAYS AWAY FROM FUNDING A $10,000,000 EQUITY FROM A
GROUP OF INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS LED BY J.P. MORGAN. A summarized pro-forma
balance sheet is provided below which shows the 11/30/98 balance sheet
assuming the equity investment and the planned immediate use of funds for
debt and liabilities had already taken place.

suppliers, is the trade secret, copyright or patent of IMAGEWARE or its
suppliers, was developed by IMAGEWARE or its suppliers at great expense, and
that BUYER shall have no right, title or interest therein, except as
expressly set forth in this Agreement. Upon reasonable notice by IMAGEWARE,
BUYER shall allow IMAGEWARE to inspect all copies of application software

testing and certifies the System is ready for use, BUYER shall notify IMAGEWARE
in writing of system acceptance or non-acceptance.  If the BUYER does not
provide said notice to IMAGEWARE, the SYSTEM will be deemed accepted by BUYER.

                    ARTICLE VI: SYSTEM WARRANTIES AND MAINTENANCE

HARDWARE WARRANTY

IMAGEWARE represents and warrants (1) that all hardware delivered pursuant
hereto will be new and all hardware shall be free from defects in material;
(2) that all items will conform to the final versions of Exhibits A, D and E;
and (3) that all hardware warranty services performed hereunder will be free
from defects in material and workmanship and will be performed in accordance
with the specifications and instructions of BUYER.  However, SELLER retains
discretion and control with respect to the manner and means of performing
such services and shall at all times remain an independent contractor.  This
warranty shall survive for a period of one (1) year from final acceptance of
the System. Should any failure of the hardware to conform to this warranty
appear during the manufacturer's warranty period, IMAGEWARE shall, provided
that it is given immediate notice of such nonconformity and provided that its
inspection confirms the existence of the same, correct, at no cost to BUYER,
such nonconformity by, at its election, repair or replacement.  Said notice
may be by telephone, e-mail or fax.  IMAGEWARE'S inspection shall occur
within forty-eight (48) hours of receiving notice.  If any such hardware
failure substantially impacts BUYER's operation, as determined exclusively by

<PAGE>

                                                   OCSO-IWS Agreement: Page 7

BUYER, and IMAGEWARE fails to correct the problem within three (3) calendar
days, BUYER may elect to obtain service from a mutually agreed upon third-party
provider at IMAGEWARE'S expense.  The parties shall maintain a list of such
third-party providers.  The warranty coverage per line item is exclusively
defined by the manufacturer's warranties, delivered with each item of equipment
provided, in no case being less than one (1) year in duration.  Any
contradictions between the manufacturers' warranties and other portions of this
Agreement shall be resolved per the terms specified in the manufacturers'
warranty agreements.

Repair or replacement in the manner provided above shall constitute fulfillment
of all IMAGEWARE obligations under this warranty.  Such warranty shall not apply
to any supplies to the extent they have been subject to accident, misuse, acts
of God, unauthorized alteration, or where IMAGEWARE installation, maintenance
and service requirements have not been met.

BUYER may at its sole option, attach peripherals manufactured by any vendor to
the SYSTEM, provided IMAGEWARE approves in writing, which approval shall not
unreasonably be withheld.  The hardware warranty shall become invalid if BUYER
fails to acquire IMAGEWARE prior approval  for the attachment of any major
component, including, but not limited to, the server's central processing units,
disk drives, tape drives or printer(s).

SOFTWARE WARRANTY

IMAGEWARE represents and warrants that all software and related materials
furnished hereunder are in conformity with the final versions of Exhibits A, D
and E, and they are fit for their intended purpose under this Agreement.
IMAGEWARE warrants the software will perform its required functions to support
and operate the System, as long as the software is not modified without
IMAGEWARE'S permission, and it is operated in accordance with IMAGEWARE'S
instructions.  IMAGEWARE'S sole obligation and liability under this warranty
shall be to correct the software, enabling it to fully support and operate the
System.  The warranty period is one (1) year following acceptance of the System.

WARRANTY DISCLAIMER AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

The above warranties are exclusive and are in lieu of all other warranties,
express or implied, arising out of or in connection with the system, or the use
or performance thereof.  BUYER's sole remedies shall be to require IMAGEWARE and
its suppliers to satisfy the express warranties set forth above.  IMAGEWARE'S
total cumulative liability under this Agreement shall not exceed the contract
price received by IMAGEWARE and under no circumstances shall IMAGEWARE be liable
for special, indirect, incidental, tort or consequential damages resulting from
the operation, delay or failure of software or equipment provided by IMAGEWARE,
or for the inaccuracy or incompleteness of data, or from any other defects
covered by the warranty in this article.

SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE MAINTENANCE

IMAGEWARE shall provide BUYER with extended maintenance service, as stipulated
in the "Software and Hardware Maintenance Agreement," Exhibit K, that is in
accordance with, and

<PAGE>

                                                   OCSO-IWS Agreement: Page 8

subject to, the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

                        ARTICLE VII: MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS


PROJECT CONTACT AND STATUS REPORTS

BUYER agrees to designate one person as a system administrator and a second
person as an alternate system administrator to represent BUYER and help
coordinate BUYER's efforts during the integration, installation, warranty
period, and extended maintenance agreement term of BUYER's System.

IMAGEWARE shall designate a project manager acceptable to BUYER for all purposes
related to this Agreement.  IMAGEWARE shall not replace the approved project
manager without written approval of BUYER.  IMAGEWARE'S project manager shall be
fully responsible for IMAGEWARE meeting all of its obligations under this
Agreement.  He or she shall provide BUYER'S project manager with a written
status report once every month until IMAGEWARE completes system acceptance
testing and certifies the System is ready for use, to include ongoing status of
custom code development performed by IMAGEWARE.  This status report will be
provided on a day each month that is mutually determined as part of the "Project
Implementation Plan," Exhibit H.

At any time prior to completing this project, IMAGEWARE shall replace its
assigned project manager within seven (7) calender days upon BUYER's written
request, which shall include reasonable cause for removal.  The replacement
project manager must be acceptable to BUYER.  Such acceptance shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

WORKING SPACE

BUYER agrees to provide IMAGEWARE staff with reasonably sufficient working space
and reasonably sufficient access to the SYSTEM twenty-four (24) hours per day,
seven (7) days per week so IMAGEWARE may fulfill its obligations under this
Agreement.

PERSONNEL SUPPORT

IMAGEWARE agrees to furnish BUYER qualified personnel (e.g., analysts,
programmers and trainers) for support of, and training on, the SYSTEM.
IMAGEWARE's project manager shall be responsive to BUYER's reasonable requests
for his or her presence on-site, including but not limited to all critical
stages of the project.

FORCE MAJEURE

Neither IMAGEWARE nor BUYER shall be liable, nor may cancel this Agreement for
default, when delays arise out of causes beyond the control of IMAGEWARE or
BUYER.  Such causes may include, but are not restricted to, acts of God or the
public enemy, acts of BUYER in sovereign capacity, fires, floods, lightning
strikes, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes,

<PAGE>

                                                   OCSO-IWS Agreement: Page 9

freight embargoes, wars, civil disturbances, work stoppage, power failures,
laws, regulations, ordinances, acts or orders of any governmental agency or
official thereof, and unusually severe weather.  In every case, the delay must
be beyond the control of the claiming party.  If IMAGEWARE is delayed in its
performance as a result of the above causes, BUYER shall, upon written request
of IMAGEWARE, agree to equitably adjust the provisions of this Agreement,
including the delivery schedule, as may be affected by such delay.  However,
this provision shall not be interpreted to limit BUYER's right to terminate for
convenience.

TRAINING

IMAGEWARE shall be responsible for training BUYER'S personnel, as stipulated in
the "Crime Capture System Training Outline,"  Exhibit L. BUYER shall be
responsible for identifying personnel requiring training and ensuring they are
available for scheduled training.  Training shall take place on dates mutually
agreed upon by IMAGEWARE and BUYER.  The training described in Exhibit L may be
revised with the mutual agreement of the parties. All training provided by
IMAGEWARE shall be conducted on a functional training system located at the
BUYER's site(s).  All training activities may be videotaped at BUYER's expense
for future in-house training.  To the extent permitted by Florida law, such
videotapes shall not be sold, loaned or made available for use to other than
BUYER's staff and shall be used for training of BUYER's staff only.

All IMAGEWARE costs related to training BUYER'S staff in accordance with Exhibit
L are included in the purchase price of this Agreement.  BUYER'S expenses
include, but are not limited to, providing adequate classroom space, training
workstation and network equipment, and sufficient copies of printed materials.
BUYER'S expenses also include the cost of videotaping training sessions.

If IMAGEWARE is solely responsible for any implementation delays that affect the
scheduling or substance of System training provided by IMAGEWARE or BUYER to
BUYER's personnel, IMAGEWARE shall re-train those members of BUYER'S staff who
were affected thereby at no cost to BUYER.

IMAGEWARE training shall be sufficient to allow BUYER to meet its operations and
maintenance responsibilities described in Exhibit F.  IMAGEWARE shall not be
required to provide training days in excess of those specified in Exhibit L, if
BUYER'S users fail to achieve competence due to absence, turnover, failure to
complete adequate preparation and practice exercises, or due to demonstrably
deficient native ability or qualifications.

IMAGEWARE shall develop and provide, in both electronic and printed format,
procedural manuals containing all procedures, methods, documentation
requirements, and techniques necessary for the successful use and operation
of the SYSTEM.  Such manuals will document any SYSTEM customizations,
modifications, tailoring or other enhancements.  IMAGEWARE agrees that BUYER
may reproduce this material for its internal use on an unlimited basis.
IMAGEWARE shall deliver such manuals at least thirty (30) calendar days prior
to the start of the training process.

INSURANCE

At its own expense, IMAGEWARE shall procure and maintain the following insurance
during the term of this Agreement to cover risks that may arise from its acts or
omissions: 1) all coverages required by statute or regulation; and 2) general
liability in the amount of $1 million, including property damage in the amount
of $500,000.  The BUYER shall maintain insurance coverage consistent with
Florida Statute 768.28.

INDEMNITY

IMAGEWARE shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless BUYER, and the officers and
personnel of BUYER, from and against any and all liability, claims, demands,
damages, losses, injuries, expenses, penalties, proceedings, actions and cost of
actions, including reasonable attorney's fees at trial and on appeal, arising
out of the acts or omissions of IMAGEWARE, its officers, employees or others
under its direction or control.  In no event shall IMAGEWARE be liable for
special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or damages from loss of
profits, revenue, data or use, whether incurred by the BUYER or any third party,
whether in an action in contract or tort, even if the other party or any other
person has been advised of the possibility of such damages.  This section shall
not be read to apply to defects in hardware, software, firmware, data or
programming that are the responsibility of IMAGEWARE under the warranties set
forth in this Agreement.

ASSIGNMENT

Neither this Agreement nor any interest under it shall be assignable by either
party without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld.

BUYER RESPONSIBILITIES

BUYER and IMAGEWARE agree the scope and schedule of services to be provided
by IMAGEWARE under this Agreement may depend upon the BUYER'S timely
fulfillment of its responsibilities listed in Exhibit F. The parties reserve
the right to mutually modify the "Project Implementation Plan" in Exhibit I
if significant delay is occasioned by BUYER'S neglect of these
responsibilities. BUYER shall be liable for additional expenses (i.e., actual
and reasonable expenses) incurred by IMAGEWARE because of BUYER'S said
neglect. Such expenses may include, but are not limited to, equipment
rescheduling or storage charges, additional equipment maintenance charges,
and transportation charges.

BUYER shall respond within fifteen (15) calendar days to all designs,
specifications, documents, requests for information or clarification,
amendments and updates delivered by IMAGEWARE. By mutual agreement of the
parties, this period may be extended in writing for specific review items.
BUYER'S failure to so respond shall constitute acceptance of such items, when
IMAGEWARE confirms such in writing to BUYER.

PATENT INFRINGEMENT

IMAGEWARE will, at its own expense, defend any suit or proceeding brought
against BUYER based on an allegation that the System furnished hereunder
constitutes an infringement of any United States patent or copyright if
IMAGEWARE is notified promptly in writing and timely given authority,
information and assistance for the defense of said suit or proceeding.
IMAGEWARE will pay the damages and costs awarded in any suit or proceeding.
IMAGEWARE will not be responsible for any settlement of such suit or
proceeding made without its prior written consent. In case the System, as a
result of any suit or proceeding so defended, is held to constitute
infringement or its use by BUYER is enjoined, IMAGEWARE will, at its option
and its expense, either: 1) procure for BUYER the right to continue using
said SYSTEM; 2) replace it with a substantially equivalent non-infringing
system; 3) modify it so it becomes non-infringing; or 4) as a last resort,
remove it and refund an appropriate portion of the purchase price.

The foregoing indemnity does not apply to the following extent: 1) infringement
by a combination of the System with other hardware not furnished by IMAGEWARE
hereunder; 2) infringement resulting from changes made to the System by or
under the direction of BUYER for which BUYER has not given prior notice to
and received written approval from IMAGEWARE; and 3) any settlement of a
claim, suit or proceeding made without IMAGEWARE'S written consent. This
paragraph is an exclusive statement of all the duties of the parties relating
to patents or copyrights, direct or contributory patent or copyright
infringement, and all BUYER'S remedies against IMAGEWARE regarding any
claims, suits or proceedings involving patents or copyrights. IMAGEWARE'S
compliance with these provisions shall constitute fulfillment of its
responsibilities herein with respect to patents or copyrights.

WAIVER

The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for
herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any right hereunder.

COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

IMAGEWARE shall comply with all federal, state and local laws and ordinances,
and it shall not discriminate on the grounds of race, color, religion, gender,
or national origin in performing work under this Agreement.


                           ARTICLE VIII: TERMINATION

BUYER may terminate this Agreement at its convenience upon advance written
notice to IMAGEWARE. Upon any such termination, IMAGEWARE shall forthwith
discontinue all work and the incurring of any expenses related to this
Agreement, except as may be directed by BUYER in the termination notice. If
it elects termination for convenience, BUYER shall pay IMAGEWARE on a
prorated basis for work satisfactorily performed to the date of termination.
All hardware and third-party software delivered to or placed on order for
BUYER that is capable of re-stocking by IMAGEWARE's suppliers shall, at
BUYER's option, be returned by BUYER, who shall be responsible for a
restocking fee of 10% of the item's cost. All hardware and software delivered
to or placed on order for BUYER that is not acceptable for restocking shall
remain BUYER's property. BUYER shall also pay IMAGEWARE for reasonable costs
associated with the termination for convenience that are mutually agreed upon
by both parties. In no event will BUYER be responsible for payment of
damages, including loss of anticipated profits.

In the event of termination for convenience, BUYER agrees to destroy or
return to IMAGEWARE those components of the System not accepted and paid for
in full, together with all related copies of software, documentation and
other material. Any data or data files generated by BUYER shall remain the
property of BUYER.

Either party may terminate this Agreement for default upon advance written
notice to the other party, and the other party shall have thirty (30)
calendar days to cure such default or, if the default cannot reasonably be
cured within thirty (30) calendar days, the defaulting party may submit a
plan to cure the default and such plan shall not be unreasonably rejected.
The parties agree that time is of the essence in the performance of this
Agreement. Should IMAGEWARE fail to correct such defects within sixty (60)
calendar days, BUYER shall, at its option, be entitled to terminate for
default. If any portion of the schedule in the "Project Implementation Plan"
in Exhibit H is exceeded by sixty (60) calendar days or more, the parties
agree this shall constitute default.

Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, the provisions relating to
confidential information, independent contractor, indemnity and software
licensing shall survive.

                   Criminal/Employee/Missing Persons Imaging System

1.0       INTRODUCTION

          The purpose of this Specification is to define the functional
          requirements for replacing the current Orange County Sheriff's
          Office Mugshot Imaging System (Ximage). The new imaging system will
          consist of a criminal component, a Sheriff's Office employee
          component, and a Missing Persons Component:

                    - Criminal Image System (CIS)

                    - Employee Image System (EIS)

                    - Missing Persons Image System (MIS)

          The Criminal Image System (CIS) will record the photographs of
          inmates, criminal registrants, sexual predators, and career
          criminals. The Employee Image System (EIS) will record the
          photographs of Orange County Sheriff's Office employees and create
          identification badges. The Missing Persons Image System (MIS) will
          record the photographs of missing persons and create bulletins with
          the missing persons' picture.

          This specification is structured to allow the widest possible vendor
          participation and price competition without restricting the solutions
          which the vendors may offer. It is intended that the  vendors will
          respond with their considered and best priced solutions.

          This section will describe the detailed functional requirements for
          The Criminal Image System.

2.1       LOCATION OF CIS IMAGE STATIONS

          CIS shall be able to handle at least seventeen image stations at
          various locations throughout Orange County Florida. The image
          capture stations will be installed at two different locations in
          Orange County, Florida. The CIS system shall communicate via TCP/IP
          through the Orange County Network. Please see Appendix A for
          specific locations of the imaging workstations. Some of the imaging
          stations that are going to be replaced belong to other agencies but,
          all of them must communicate with the image and data servers though
          the Orange County Network.

2.2       TRANSFER OF HISTORICAL IMAGES

          The vendor shall make provisions to load approximately 660,000
          historical inmate front profile images with data and 25,000
          photolineups from our current system (XImage) as of September 22,
          1998. The vendor shall convert the historical images from the older
          version of JPEG format to the most recent JPEG format at the time
          of contract award. Currently, Orange County books a little over 200
          adults and 27 juveniles each day. CIS shall be capable of handling
          at least 400 adult and juvenile bookings. Our current image system
          has two separate databases for the adult and juvenile inmates. The
          current vendor did not provide tools to transfer adults to the
          juvenile database and vice versa.

          This has caused adults to be in the Juvenile database and juveniles

                                      Exhibit A

<PAGE>

                                              OCSO-IWS Agreement: Page 20

          to be in the adult database. Any vendor considered will have to make
          provisions to either flag the inmates correctly in a single database
          or put them in the proper database for separate databases when loading
          them onto their system. Please see Appendix B for the details on
          flagging or putting the historical inmates into the new system (CIS).
          The current systems's data is not all year 2000 compatible. Any
          vendor considered must convert the historical data so that it includes
          a century field. Please see Appendix B for details for converting
          historical data upon transfer to the new system (CIS).


2.3       BOOKING FUNCTIONS

          This section will describe the functionality needed by the two Booking
          image capture stations.

2.3.1     IMAGE VIEWING

          CIS shall allow the operator to view the image before it is stored.
          This will allow a better quality of picture to be stored.

2.3.2     PROFILES

          CIS shall allow an inmate to be photographed facing the camera (front
          profile) and turned for a side profile. The CIS operator shall have
          the capability of viewing both profiles side by side.

2.3.3     ZOOM

          CIS shall allow the operator to zoom in on the captured image to focus
          in on any identifying details.

2.3.4     CAMERA ADJUSTMENTS

           - Provide auto focus of the camera with manual override

           - Provide auto zoom with remote control

           - Provide auto light balancing


2.3.5        ADULT/JUVENILE DATABASE SEPARATION

             If CIS has separate databases for adults and juveniles, they
             shall provide the tools to transfer images from one database to
             the other.

2.3.6        POWER BACKUP

             CIS shall have an uninterrupted power source on every image
             station to keep the system from going down on power loss or
             brown-outs.  CIS shall have a backup system when the power is
             out or the main system server is down.  The operator shall be
             allowed to continue capturing inmate images until the power is
             restored.  When the power is restored, the CIS system shall
             automatically load the images to the main system server without
             or with minimal operator intervention.

2.3.7        WRISTBANDS

             CIS shall have the capability to create an inmate wristband with
             a barcode of the inmate's booking number, name, race, sex and

             CIS shall have the capability to create a small 3" X 5" and a
             larger jail card 8.5" X 11" of the inmate's information plus
             photograph.  If the jail cards wear out or need to be replaced,
             the operator shall have the capability of replicating the cards.
             The exact format of the jail cards will be provided at a later
             date.


2.4          VIEWING, SEARCHING, UPDATING, SEALING, UN-SEALING IMAGES

             This section will describe the functionality needed by all of
             the CIS stations.

2.4.1        SEARCHING

             CIS shall allow the operator to retrieve images using a single
             textual field or an operator selectable group of textual fields
             associated with the image.  CIS shall put a limitation on the
             number of images an image station can retrieve per single
             search.  The limit should not exceed fifty images.

2.4.2        SEALING

             CIS shall provide the capability to seal all images, composites,
             photolineups, etc. as mandated by the courts, or via juvenile
             emancipation, or death, or for expunging purposes, etc.  The
             sealing capability will not facilitate a permanent erase as
             there are frequent requests to unseal photos of a deceased
             person so that the photos can be printed again.  If an operator
             tries to view a "sealed" image or folder, the CIS system shall
             inform the operator that the images are sealed.

             associated with the images, composites, photolineups, etc.
             except for the creation date and time, the name of the operator
             who created the image, the date and time the image was changed,
             and the name of the operator who made the change.  CIS shall
             provide editing on all fields that the operator can input or
             update.  The edits shall be as described in Appendix D.


2.4.5        MULTIPLE NAMES AND ALIASES

             CIS shall provide the capability of creating a computerized
             "folder" of all CIS images, documents, photolineup, composites,
             etc. (same name or alias names). CIS shall provide the tools to
             move operator selected images from one "folder" to another
             "folder" or consolidate "folders". CIS shall provide the tools
             to open a "folder" and to view, update, seal, or unseal individual

                             4.0  MISSING PERSONS IMAGE SYSTEM (MIS)

     4.1       LOCATION OF MIS IMAGE STATION

               The Missing Persons Image System (MIS) shall provide a single
               Imaging station in the Missing Persons Department capable of
               scanning in photographs of missing persons.  This station
               shall communicate via TCP/IP through the Orange County
               Network.  See Appendix A for the specific location.


     4.2       MISSING PERSON FUNCTIONS

               This section will describe in detail the operator's functional
               needs.


     4.2.1     IMAGE CAPTURE

               MIS shall provide tools for the operator to scan a
               photograph(s) of a missing person, and easily manipulate the
               colors of the scanned backgrounds to match the standard MIS
               system backgrounds.  The operator should also be able to
               rotate the scanned images, clip an image from a group shot of
               people, and manipulate the colors.  The operator shall be able
               to scan other images related to a missing person such as,
               tattoos, jewelry, fingerprints, dental records, etc.  MIS
               shall allow the operator to view the scanned image before it
               is stored.  This will allow for a better quality of picture to
               be stored.  After the image(s) are captured, the operator will
               be required to enter the case number as described in Appendix
               H.


     4.2.2     FACIAL COMPOSITES

               MIS shall provide an operator with the ability to make a
               facial composite or some likeness of the missing person
               (artist rendering).

               MIS shall provide an operator with the ability to create
               bulletins with an image of a missing person or persons.
               Formats for the bulletins will be provided later.


     4.2.4     AGING IMAGES

               MIS shall provide an operator with the tools to age a captured
               image.


     4.2.5     SEARCHING

               MIS shall allow the operator to retrieve only missing person
               images using single textual field or an operator selectable
               group of textual fields associated with the image.  MIS shall
               put a limitation on the number of images an image station can
               retrieve per single search.  The limit should not exceed fifty
               images.


     4.2.6     SEALING

               MIS shall provide the capability to seal all images,
               composites, tattoos, etc.  The sealing capability will not
               facilitate a permanent erase. If the operator tries to view a
               "sealed" image or folder, the operator shall be informed by
               the MIS system that it is sealed.


     4.2.7     UN-SEALING

               MIS shall provide the capability to unseal "sealed" images,
               composites, tattoos, etc in case of accidental sealing.


     4.2.8     UPDATING

               MIS shall provide the capability to update all the textual
               data associated with the images, composites, etc. except for
               the creation date & time, the name of the operator who created
               the image, the

               date & time the image was changed, and the name of the
               operator who made the change.  All of the times shall be in
               hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds.  MIS shall provide
               editing of all fields the operator can input or update. The
               edits shall be as described in Appendix H.


     4.2.9     HABITUAL RUNAWAYS

               MIS shall provide the capability of creating a computerized
               "folder" of all MIS images, documents, bulletins, composites,
               etc. for a missing person that habitually runs away. MIS shall
               provide the tools to move operator selected images from one
               "folder" to another "folder" or consolidate "folders". MIS
               shall provide the tools to open a "folder" and to view,
               update, seal, or unseal individual "folder" items or the
               entire folder itself.


     4.3       INTERFACE REQUIREMENTS

               This section will describe in detail all of the interfaces
               with the MIS system.

     4.3.1     MISSING PERSON INTERFACE

               MIS shall interface with our DEC Alpha for the missing person
               information.  The ASCII missing person data will be
               transferred to the MIS system via TCP/IP using FTP. Please see
               Appendix H for a detailed description of the text and data
               transfer.

                            5.0  SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

               This section will describe the system level requirements for
               all three components of the imaging system (CIS, EIS, MIS).

     5.1       SECURITY LEVELS

               CIS shall provide all the capabilities and functions described
               in this Specification on every installed image station i.e.,
               view, add, update, seal, archive, etc. This will allow an
               operator to use any of the installed image stations with
               his/her normally assigned capabilities. By having all
               functions available at each of the image stations, this will
               allow for easier handling of the equipment and personnel
               reassignments. The Systems Administrator shall have the tools
               to assign or de-assign these capabilities to an operator
               depending on the operator's assigned or newly assigned duties.
               For example, some operators will have the capability of
               viewing the adult and juvenile images whereas, others will
               only be allowed to view the adult images.

     5.2       HARDWARE EXPANSION

               The vendor shall allow for expansion of up to 25 image
               stations and up to at least 6 capture stations.

     5.3       IMAGE & DATA ARCHIVING

               The vendor shall provide the capability of archiving any
               images and data in any of the three components of the system.
               The operator designated via security privilege shall be
               allowed to archive the images and data by a selectable date
               range.  The system shall also allow the designated operator to
               retrieve any images and data from the archives as needed.

               The vendor shall develop detailed test plans and formal test
               procedures for the Orange County Sheriff's Office (OCSO)
               Imaging System. The test procedures shall include a
               Requirements Traceability Matrix that maps each requirement in
               the OCSO Functional Specification to a specific vendor
               developed test procedure. The Test Plan, the Test Procedures
               and the Requirement Traceability Matrix shall be submitted to
               OCSO at least 60 days prior to the beginning of on-site
               testing. OCSO will review the documentation within 15 days and
               will report any deficiencies to the vendor. The vendor will
               have 30 days to take corrective action and resubmit the
               documents.

     6.1       TESTING

               The vendor and OCSO shall jointly participate in on-site
               testing. The OCSO test conductor will verify that each test
               procedure has been executed, and that the results are
               acceptable. All failed tests will require re-test after
               corrective action has been taken.

     6.2       TRAINING

               The vendor shall develop a training plan (curriculum) as well

     represent the year and must be converted to include the century. The new
     Inmate Number would for example be converted from 98041894 to 1998041894.

2.   The case number is currently 9 characters long. In case the Orange County
     court system changes the case number to be year 2000 compliant, the vendor
     shall put six extra characters at the end of this field for future
     expansion.

3.   The current image system has two separate databases for the its criminal
     component (Adult and Juvenile). Some adults are in the juvenile database
     and vice versa. During the conversion process, this can be corrected by
     looking at the third position of the inmate number. If third position of
     the inmate number is 9, then the inmate is a juvenile otherwise it is an
     adult.

4.   The current image system has a status field that indicates whether the
     image is sealed or not sealed. All of the images should be transferred to
     the new system. The status fields are "A" for active, "S" for sealed, and
     there are also some "D" statuses which also mean sealed.

5.   As each record is converted from the current system to the CIS system, the
     ASCII characters "CONVERT" shall be inserted into the operator id create
     and update fields of each image record along with the date and time stamp.

6.   The current image system has a charge code table which contains the charge
     code, degree, and charge description. The vendor shall either provide a
     similar table with System Administrator add/delete/change capabilities or
     accept the data from the Orange County Sheriff's Office DEC Alpha using
     newly assigned tags as described in Appendix D.

                                   APPENDIX C

This appendix will describe the special indicator flags used to get the
operator's attention. This flag should be displayed on the image station's
display at the top in bold, large, or differentiating color when the user brings
up an image with one of the listed flags below.

The flags are as follows:

             1.  DEATH ROW
             2.  SIGNAL 20
             3.  SECURITY RISK
             4.  ESCAPE RISK
             5.  EXTREMELY VIOLENT
             6.  SIGNAL 300
             7.  REPEAT OFFENDER
             8.  CAREER CRIMINAL
             9.  VIOLENT OFFENDER
             10. DECEASED

See Appendix D for the details on transferring the flags from the DEC Alpha to
the CIS system.

                                       APPENDIX D

This Appendix will describe in detail the CIS interface with the DEC Alpha
System.

The operator will add an image to CIS as follows:

1.  The operator will enter his/her name or have the system automatically
    enter his/her name from the system log-on process. Then the system will
    automatically record the system date and time. If the operator needs to
    request a new inmate number, the operator will enter the booking type
    (sexual predator, criminal registrant, adult, or juvenile). The CIS
    system software will automatically generate the inmate number from the
    type of booking entered by the operator. The inmate number shall be in
    the following format:

                                          The sequential number will start

                                          at zero at the beginning of each

                                          new year.

         *** Note:  The vendor shall be responsible for determining the last
                    inmate number (sequential number) entered into each
                    booking type from the current system.

     The operator shall be given the option of requesting a new inmate number
     or using an existing inmate number. If the operator uses an existing
     inmate number, the CIS system shall allow a new image or images to be
     captured.

2.   The operator will enter the booking data and inmate's descriptive textual
     information. This information shall be provided later.

3.   The operator will then capture the front and side profiles and any other
     images wanted.

4.   Then the operator will manually indicate that the record is to be saved,
     for example press the F12 function key. When the operator saves a
     record, the CIS system shall transfer all the booking and descriptive
     textual information to the DEC Alpha System via TCP/IP using FTP. The
     format for the FTP file will be provided later.

5.   The DEC Alpha System will transfer any booking textual data changes made
     on the DEC Alpha System for updating on the CIS system every 15 minutes
     via TCP/IP using FTP.

The data format for the FTP file that will be transferred via TCP/IP to the
CIS system shall be as follows:

1.   ASCII TEXT FILE

2.   ONE TAGGED DATA ITEM PER LINE

3.   EACH LINE IN THE FILE MUST BE TERMINATED WITH A CR/LF (CARRIAGE RETURN
     AND LINE FEED CONTROL CHARACTERS)

Note:               The inmate number is mandatory for type 10 transactions
                    and should be omitted for type 20 transactions. Updates
                    received from the DEC computer, shall be entered into the
                    appropriate Image System record. The ASCII characters
                    "JAIL" shall be inserted into the operator ID update
                    field of each image record along with a date and time
                    stamp. The CIS system shall not update the CIS record if
                    the inmate's last name on the CIS system, (i.e. that was
                    entered by the operator in step 2 above) does not match
                    the inmate's last name transferred from the DEC Alpha.
                    This will be an added check to prevent the overlay of an
                    inmate's last name and inmate number when the operator
                    has typed the inmate number into the CIS system
                    incorrectly. This will also allow the CIS operators the
                    ability to correct the inmate numbers more easily.

                               APPENDIX E
                               ----------

This appendix will describe in detail the TIFF interface to the DEC Alpha
Warrants program.

The data format for the ASCII FTP file that will be transferred via TCP/IP to
the CIS system will be as follows:

1.  ASCII text file

2.  One tagged data item per line

3.  Each line in the file must be terminated with a CR/LF (carriage return
    and  line feed control characters)

Tagged Data Line Format will be as follows:

1.  The word KEY followed by the key wanted (inmate number) and CR/LF
    (carriage return and line feed control characters).

2.  The word DATABASE followed by the database name and CR/LF.

3.  The word IMG_FORMAT followed by TIFF and CR/LF.

A sample FTP ASCII text file would look as follows:

KEY 1998900028(CR/LF)DATABASE CIS(CR/LF)IMG_FORMAT TIFF(CR/LF)

The request file names shall be WAR(inmate_number)####.REQ. #### will be a
unique DEC Alpha program generated sequence number. The above example would
have a request file name

                 WAR1998800028001.REQ

The CIS system shall return a status file. The CIS status file name will be a
derivative of the data requested. The file name that contains the status of
the request will be WAR(inmate number)####.RES

The above example would have a response file name

                 WAR1998900028001.RES

<PAGE>

                                              OCSO-IWS Agreement: Page 52


The contents of the status file shall be in the following format:

                          STATUS_CODE #

# is the number of the status codes which are:

             0              = image found

             1 to 9         = error statuses may be defined by the vendor


The CIS system shall return the requested image in the file named as

             WAR(inmate_number)####.IMG

The example above would be WAR1998900028001.IMG

                                APPENDIX F
                                ----------

This appendix will describe in detail the CJNET interface. The Interface with
CJNET will allow the Orange County Sheriff's Office DEC Alpha system via
TCP/IP to request a JPEG image from the three different components of the new
image system (CIS, EIS, MIS).

The image request FTP ASCII file shall have a file name like

                 CIS(inmate_number)####.REQ

                             Or

             EIS(social_security_number)####.REQ

                             Or

                   MIS(case_number)####.REQ

        where #### is a unique sequence number generated by the requesting
        DEC Alpha program.

The record in the request file shall be in the following format:

KEY followed by key of image system component, DATABASE followed by the
image component name (CIS or EIS or MIS), IMG_FORMAT followed by JPEG and
CR/LF (carriage return/line feed control characters).

Examples:

1.  KEY 1998000114(CR/LF)DATABASE CIS(CR/LF)IMG_FORMAT JPEG(CR/LF)

2.  KEY 222889999(CR/LF)DATABASE EIS(CR/LF)IMG_FORMAT JPEG(CR/LF)

3.  KEY 1998901234(CR/LF)DATABASE MIS(CR/LF)IMG_FORMAT JPEG(CR/LF)

The FTP ASCII status file will have a file name like

                 CIS(inmate_number)####.RES

             EIS(social_security_number)####.RES

                   MIS(case_number)####.RES

<PAGE>

                                              OCSO-IWS Agreement: Page 54


The contents of the status file will be the same as the contents described in
Appendix E for the TIFF interface.

The image shall be returned in a file with the name in the following format:

                 CIS(inmate_number)####.IMG

             EIS(social_security_number)####.IMG

                   MIS(case_number)####.IMG

         APPENDIX G
         ----------

This section will describe in detail the EIS data field edits and the
transferring of data from the Orange County Sheriff's Office DEC Alpha
computer system.

The EIS system shall edit the EIS fields as shown in the table below.
The values are defined in the table below as A = ALPHA, N = NUMERIC,
X = ALPHANUMERIC. The tags will be used to transfer the data as described in
Appendix D.

The badge numbers shall be automatically generated by the EIS software.  The
vendor must make provisions to find the last numbers issued in the following
categories of sworn (S######), civilian (C######), retired (R######), and
special process officer (P######) where ###### is an EIS system generated
number.

The EIS system shall request the employee data from the Orange County Sheriff's
Office DEC Alpha system via TCP/IP using the FTP.  The operator of EIS will
enter the social security number.  Upon entry of the social security number, the
EIS system will send an FTP file with the social security number entered by the
EIS operator.  The EIS shall allow the operator to enter the data into the EIS
system upon failure to receive the data from the DEC Alpha for example if the
DEC Alpha or network is down, TCP/IP errors, no data on the DEC Alpha for that
employee, etc.  The DEC Alpha system will open the EIS file, extract the social
security number and transfer via FTP and tag numbers the employee data as shown
in the table above.  If the EIS has other data which is also on the DEC Alpha,
that data can also be transferred to the EIS as it is identified.

The EIS system shall provide the reports on (details to be provided later):

The MIS system shall request the missing person data from the Orange County
Sheriff's Office DEC Alpha system via TCP/IP using the FTP.  The operator of MIS
will enter the case number.  Upon entry of the case number, the MIS system shall
send an FTP file to the DEC Alpha with the case number entered by the MIS
operator.  The MIS shall allow the operator to enter the data into the MIS
system upon failure to receive the data from the DEC Alpha for example if the
DEC Alpha or network is down, TCP/IP errors, no data on the DEC Alpha for that
missing person, etc.  The DEC Alpha system will open the FTP file, extract the
case number and transfer via FTP and tag numbers the missing person data as
shown in the table above.  If the MIS has other data which is also on the DEC
Alpha, that data can also be transferred to the MIS as it is identified.

                                      APPENDIX I

This appendix will describe in detail the MDT interface to the image system.

The data format for the ASCII FTP file that will be transferred via TCP/IP to
the Image system will be as follows:

1.   ASCII text file
2.   One tagged data item per line
3.   Each line in the file must be terminated with a CR/LF (carriage return and
     line feed control characters)

Tagged Data Line Format will be as follows:

1. The word KEY followed by the key wanted and CR/LF:

     (carriage return and line feed control characters).

     The keys will be as follows:

               Database                              Key
               --------                              ----

                 CIS                            inmate number

                 EIS                            social security number

                 MIS                            case number

2.   The word DATABASE followed by the database name (CIS, EIS, OR MIS) and
     CR/LF.

3.   The word IMG_FORMAT followed by JPEGTN and CR/LF where JPEGTN is a
     compressed JPEG thumbnail image.

A sample FTP ASCII text file would look as follows:
KEY 1998900028(CR/LF) DATABASE CIS (CR/LF)IMG_FORMAT JPEGTN(CR/LF)
The request file names shall be MDT(key)####.REQ. #### will be a unique DEC
Alpha program generated sequence number. The above example would have a request
file name

                                                   OCSO-IWS Agreement: Page 62

          MDT1998800028001.REQ

The Image System shall return a status file. The status file name will be a
derivative of the data requested. The file name that contains the status of the
request will be MDT(key)####.RES
The above example would have a response file name

                                 MDT1998900028001.RES

The contents of the status file shall be in the following format:

                                    STATUS_CODE #



# is the number of the status codes which are:

              0         = image found

              1 to 9    = error statuses may be defined by the vendor

The Image system shall return the requested image in the file named as


              MDT(key)####.IMG

The example above would be MDT1998900028001.IMG

4.   The Vendor shall determine which hardware devices (PCs, printers,
     cameras, etc.) can continue to be utilized with the new system.

5.   The Vendor will conduct a site survey to determine where the hardware
     will be located and determine if any new outlets, hardware shelves,
     cabinets, etc. are needed before any installation of hardware and
     software takes place.

11.  The Vendor shall be able to provide hardware replacement parts within at
     least 24 hours during work week hours and 72 hours for weekends. The only

     weekends.

12.  The Vendor shall have software version control. The System's
     Administrator shall know at all times what version of software is running

enters bankruptcy, ceases to do business or fails to pay trustee fees.

If Licensor enters bankruptcy or ceases to do business, Licensee shall have
the non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use and modify the source code
solely for the purpose of fulfilling Licensor's obligations under the
OCSO-IWS Procurement Agreement No: __________ and any related software
support agreement then in force covering the application software. Licensee
understands and agrees that receipt of such source code will not result in
conveyance of its title to Licensee, and all ownership interests and
proprietary rights in said source code shall remain vested exclusively in
Licensor. Licensee's modifications shall not reduce Licensor's ownership of
the application software. Accordingly, all of such source code shall be
retained in confidence and shall not be transferred, disclosed, or revealed
in whole or in part to any third party, unless required by law. Licensee
shall not use the source code to provide support services to persons or

construed to enlarge or alter in any way the terms of the license under which
the use of the application software was originally acquired by Licensee.

In the event Licensor and Licensee are unable to resolve any matter through
discussions, they agree to resolve the matter through mediation in Florida
according to Florida law.

                                                 OCSO-IWS Agreement: Page 85

         In the event of any hardware failure, SELLER shall thereafter make a
         good faith effort to cause an authorized representative of SELLER to
         arrive at the location where the System is installed no later than
         twenty-four (24) hours following SELLER's receipt of such
         notification. SELLER shall from time to time advise BUYER of the
         name(s) and location(s) of locally-based SELLER personnel authorized to
         receive such notifications and SELLER shall ensure that such personnel
         are available to BUYER at all times that the System is
         scheduled by BUYER to be in operation. Hardware support shall be
         available 7 days per week 24 hours per day for critical items as

         in paragraph K.2.3.1 will be considered non critical items and shall be
         repaired during the SELLER's normal work hours. This will include the
         printers associated with any capture station and display stations.

K.2.4.   EXTRA SERVICES. Extra Services shall consist of any
         maintenance services with respect to the System, other than
         Preventive Maintenance and Remedial Maintenance, including without
         limitation, Excluded Services. SELLER shall be under no firm
         obligation to perform any Extra Service but undertakes to make a good
         faith effort to render such services to the extent that it is capable
         of doing so without substantially interfering with its other
         obligations under this Agreement or its obligations to other
         customers. If so requested by BUYER, SELLER shall provide a written
         estimate of extra charges likely to be incurred or accrued as a
         result of the performance of such services, to the extent such
         services can be reasonably ascertained in advance.

         without limitation, any electrical power, air conditioning, or
         humidity control failure or changes to the environment of the System
         Site.

K.2.5.2. Use of supplies or materials not approved by the SELLER, or

K.2.5.6. Removal, transportation or relocation of the System by any person
         other than the SELLER, unless authorized by SELLER in writing.

         number, point of contact for the maintenance and a description of the
         maintenance or correction. Notification will be provided to the
         person reporting the problem and/or BUYER's maintenance contact.

         from the user resulting from the total failure of a Critical Item as
         defined in paragraph K.2.3.1, the SELLER may be assessed a downtime
         credit of $50.00 per hour for every hour thereof that the response
         time requirement is exceeded. Any credits resulting from excessive
         down-time shall be accounted for and resolved within thirty (30)
         calendar days from the date of being incurred. System downtime shall
         not include the time that the System is inoperable due to (i)
         Scheduled Preventative Maintenance, (ii) equipment cables, wires,

Janice,

Please find attached the modified documents:
Exhibit E: was modified to add a viewing station an a color printer.
Appendix A of exhibit A: was modified to add the Professional Standards
station at the following location:  55 W. Pineloch Orlando, Fl. 32806

Please print two copies of said documents and insert them in the signed
contract.

Page 55 - Appendix G. The table is flexible to accommodate changes. The
change can be done during implementation. After implementation OCSO will be
responsible for maintaining the table. (It's a picklist)

Software Escrow Agreement - Exhibit I

Exhibit I is an example. Once the project is finished, we will fill up the
acceptance form with the software and version installed and licensed to OCSO.
A container with a copy of the source code for this software will be
delivered to the Escrow agent. The source code will be held in Colorado,
where the Escrow Agent is located. When I spoke to Bernie she understood that
IWS in order to protect our business and trade secrets opts to have all of
our source code in a centralized location.
The acceptance form of the Software Escrow Agreement supersedes the terms and
conditions of the Agreement for the signing parties, in this case OCSO and
IWS, therefore unresolved issues will be resolved through mediation.

Please don't hesitate to call me or email me if you have any questions.

Thanks,

          stipulated in this agreement during the entire ninety (90) day
          acceptance period, the Seller will be paid for all withheld money.
          If during the acceptance period, the system software and hardware
          as provided by Seller, does not perform as stipulated in this
          agreement, the Seller will be contacted by the Buyer and the Seller
          will provide a strategy and time line for meeting the required
          specifications. A new acceptance period of ninety (90) days will
          begin when the system performs to all specifications.

          affects the proper performance of the system as provided by Seller,
          cannot be corrected within thirty (30) days from the third
          failure/problem, the system will be considered non-acceptable. At
          the Buyer's unilateral option and to the extent imposed on Buyer,
          any payments and/or monies previously withheld from the Seller as
          identified in Attachment 4, may be permanently retained as total
          compensation for liquidated damages between the Seller and the

consent to such assignment in advance, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld. If such assignment occurs in connection with the sale of Seller's
company or with the sale of all or substantially all of Seller's assets
("transaction"), the parties agree that Buyer's failure to consent to an
assignment to an acquirer whose financial condition and technical expertise is
equal to or better than that provided by Seller would be unreasonable. If
Seller assigns this Subcontract Agreement, the assignee shall be fully
responsible for Seller's obligations hereunder. If a Transaction occurs and
this Subcontract Agreement is not assigned, Seller shall remain fully
responsible for its obligations hereunder. Seller agrees to obtain Buyer's

<PAGE>

      15.2  Seller represents and warrants that the TDP shall be
            understandable and useable by educated computer programming
            personnel who are generally familiar with "C" programming,
            though not necessarily those incorporating the Seller's
            programs. Seller also represents and warrants that the programs
            do not involve any proprietary languages or programming components
            that such a contractor could not reasonably be expected to
            understand, except to the extent the TDP contains sufficient
            commentary to enable and use such languages or components. Seller
            further represents and warrants that the TDP includes all of the
            devices, programming, and documentation necessary for the
            maintenance of the program(s) by Buyer upon release of the TDP
            pursuant to this Subcontract Agreement, except for devices,
            programming, and documentation commercially available to Buyer on
            reasonable terms through readily known sources other than the

            for ForceField, any other Seller provided software, and
            applicable peripheral drivers, duplication (Master) disks for all
            software and documentation, and process control/test plan
            documents.

      15.3  The deposit of the TDP and any license(s) thereof are intended to
            provide Buyer access to, and right to use of, the TDP in the
            event that Seller defaults to its contractual obligations as
            defined in this Subcontract Agreement in accordance with Section
            27.0 "Default" or is otherwise unable to perform its contractual
            obligations. Seller shall immediately release to Buyer
            copies of the TDP deposited in escrow pursuant to this
            Subcontract Agreement only upon written notification from
            Buyer's contractual representative identified in Section 7.0.

            Seller shall arrange for a reputable Escrow Agent to accept from
            Seller, and Seller agrees to deposit with Escrow Agent, within
            thirty (30) days of the effective date of this Subcontract
            Agreement with the copies of the TDP being current versions of
            the subject data. For each deposit, Escrow Agent will issue a
            receipt to Buyer, accompanied by a general list or description of
            the materials so deposited. In the event that an update or series
            of updates supersede a prior version of the TDP in their
            entirety, Seller may require Escrow Agent to return or destroy
            portions of the TDP representing such prior version(s) of the TDP
            by so notifying the Escrow Agent and Buyer in writing, provided
            that any such action on the part of the Escrow Agent may not
            commence until one (1) year after the delivery of the TDP for all
            updates that so supersede the prior version of the TDP.

      15.4  Buyer's technical representative shall have the right to
            inspect, compile, test and review the TDP (subject to appropriate
            undertakings of confidentiality and restrictions on subsequent
            use or disclosure) at any time, and Escrow Agent shall permit
            such inspections and testing promptly upon request. Except as
            otherwise authorized by Seller, which shall not be unreasonably
            withheld, such inspections and testing shall be conducted at the
            principal offices of the Escrow Agent.

      15.5  Upon receipt of the TDP, Buyer shall maintain the TDP in strict
            confidence, shall use and disclose it only as reasonably
            appropriate to exercise such Buyer rights in the TDP, and shall
            use the same degree of care it provides for its own data
            identified as restricted, proprietary and confidential.

      15.6  Seller shall incur all financial liabilities pursuant to the
            compensation to Escrow Agent for the storage of the TDP which
            shall expire at the termination of this Subcontract Agreement.

a period of fourteen (14) days (or such longer period as Buyer may authorize in
writing) after receipt of notice from the Buyer specifying such failure; or
(iii) Seller becomes insolvent or the subject of proceedings under any law
relating to bankruptcy or the relief of debtors (non-specific debtors) or
admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due. Any of
the events described in clauses (I), (ii) or (iii) constitute a "Default"
provided that such default shall not be deemed to have occurred until the end
of any applicable cure period.

(b)   If this Subcontract Agreement is so terminated, Buyer may procure or
otherwise obtain, upon such terms and in such manner as Buyer may deem
appropriate, supplies or services similar to those terminated, Seller,
subject to the exceptions set forth below, shall be liable to Buyer for
excess costs based on actual costs incurred to a maximum of one hundred-ten
(110) percent of this Subcontract Agreement price for similar supplies and
services.

(c)   Seller shall continue performance of this Subcontract Agreement to the
extent not terminated. Buyer shall have no obligations to Seller with respect
to the terminated part of this Subcontract Agreement except as herein
provided. In case of Seller's default, Buyer's rights as set forth herein
shall be as stated in their entirety.

(d)   Seller shall not be liable for damages resulting from default due to
causes beyond the Seller's control and without Seller's fault or negligence,
provided, however, that if Seller's default is caused by the default of a
Subcontract Agreement or supplier, such default must arise out of causes
beyond the control of Seller and Subcontract Agreement or supplier, assuming
Seller took all reasonable precautionary measures to ensure good Subcontract
Agreement or performance and, provided further, the supplies or services to be
furnished by the Subcontract Agreement or supplier were not obtainable from
other sources.

(e)   The Seller may, by written notice of default to Buyer, terminate the
whole Subcontract Agreement if Buyer fails to perform any obligation to
Seller for which Buyer is required to perform, excluding Material options and
source inspections/test witness, under this Subcontract Agreement in
accordance with its terms and does not provide a plan to cure such failure
within a period of fourteen (14) days (or such longer period as Seller may
authorize in writing) after receipt of notice from the Buyer specifying such
failure. Upon such failure, Seller shall have the right to collect from
Buyer payment(s), to the extent of the limitation in funding, for services
satisfactorily completed or material(s) delivered up to the date notice of
Termination for Default is effectively given. Any of the events described in
this clause constitute a "Default" provided that such default shall not be
deemed to have occurred until the end of any applicable cure period.

1.0    INTRODUCTION

1.1    PURPOSE

This document identifies the products to be delivered and specifies the tasks
to be performed by the Seller in support of the New York City Police
Department (NYCPD) Automated DB2 Warrant and Integrated Digitized Photo
Imaging System Program.

1.2    NYCPD AUTOMATED DB2 WARRANT AND INTEGRATED DIGITIZED PHOTO IMAGING
SYSTEM PROGRAM SUMMARY

1.2.1  TECHNICAL OVERVIEW

The NYCPD will contract with the Buyer to procure a full implementation of a
DB2 Automated Warrant system and Integrated Digitized Photo Imaging System
for NYCPD.  This procurement consists of three major Components:

    1) Software development for the DB2 environment which includes
       re-engineering NYCPD's current Warrant/Want/WOLF system, developing an
       enhanced name search capability, and developing an automated sealing
       tracking system to replace the current manually intensive system.  The
       software developed will execute on the NYCPD's existing IBM 3090-400J
       computer.

    2) Photo Imaging System which utilized photo/video imaging technology to
       capture, store, and retrieve "mugshots" thereby replacing the present
       time consuming and labor intensive photo identification process.  In
       addition, this system prints warrants (with or without photos) and
       provides for generating and printing line-up photo arrays and mugshots.
       This system consists of three subsystems:  the Basic Photo Imaging System
       and two investigative subsystems, the Intelligence Subsystem and the
       Missing Persons Subsystem.  A small subset fo the Basic Photo Imaging
       system will be deployed early so that NYCPD can begin capturing photos
       before the final system is actually operational.  This subset is referred
       to as the Federal Interface Subsystem (FIS).

    3) Additonal Components (Option), as identified in Schedule C, which
       provides for the procurement of addional image capture stations, image
       display stations, and peripherals.

Work to be performed under this procurement consists of designing,
developing, delivering, and installing all materials, equipment, supplies,
software, training and documentation necessary for an Automated Warrant
System and Digitized Photo Imaging System.  Under this subcontract agreement,
materials do not include facilities (i.e., facilities' modifications,
fixtures, and network infrastructure) and furniture and office fixtures (i.e.,
desks, chairs, monitor stands, printer stands, etc.).

1.2.2  SCHEDULE MILESTONES OVERVIEW

                               Attachment 1
                             SYSTEM OVERVIEW


1.       Introduction

The purpose of this attachment is to provide a system-level overview of the
Automated DB2 Warrant and Integrated Digitized Photo Imaging System.

Section 2 provides a high-level functional overview describing the
systems/subsystems, the data associated with the systems/subsystems, the
interfaces between those systems/subsystems, and the interfaces to external
systems. Section 3 identifies the hardware and software components for the
systems/subsystems. Section 4 provides a physical view of the
systems/subsystems including the connectivity between the systems/subsystems,
connectivity to the external systems, and the detailed specifications for
each of the Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components of the
systems/subsystems.

2.       Functional Overview

The Automated DB2 Warrant and Integrated Digitized Photo Imaging System
consists of two main functional components: (1) the Automated DB2 System, and
(2) the Photo Imaging System. A functional overview is provided in Exhibit
2-1 showing the subsystems of the Automated DB2 System, the subsystems of
the Photo Imaging System, the data associated with each of the subsystems,
the interfaces between the subsystems, and the interfaces to external
systems. As shown in Exhibit 2-1, the Automated DB2 System and the Photo
Imaging System are independent systems with three defined interfaces. The
Automated DB2 System sends Warrant data and Seal/Unseal notifications to the
Photo Imaging System. The Photo Imaging System sends UF90 data (audit data of
who received a photo and when) to the Automated DB2 System. A brief
description of each system/sub-system is provided in the following sections.

2.1      Automated DB2 System Overview

The Automated DB2 System will be developed in MicroFocus Cobol and will
execute on NYCPD's existing mainframe, the IBM 3090-400J, in a CICS/DB2
environment. (Attachment K of this contract provides the detailed hardware
and software configuration of the existing NYCPD mainframe environment.) The
Automated DB2 System consists of the (1) Warrant System, (2) Name Search
System, (3) Sealing System, and (4) Database Conversion software. A brief
description of each these systems is provided in the following paragraphs.

2.1.1    Warrant System

The Warrant System will support the data entry and tracking of Warrants,
Wants, Recidivists, and Drug Users, and investigative actions associated with
Warrants and Wants. The Warrant System will replace the current
Warrant/Want/WOLF system. The Warrant System can receive warrant data from
the Office of Court Administration (OCA) and will transmit certain types of
warrants to DCJS. The Warrant System will initiate name searches against the
Warrant System Data. The Warrant System will send warrant data to the Photo
Imaging System so that hardcopy Warrants, with or without imbedded mugshots,
can be printed on the Photo Imaging System printers either in black & white
or in color.

                                 SYSTEM OVERVIEW


2.1.2    Name Search System

The Name Search System will support the ability to search the data maintained
by the Warrant System using a combination of Name, DOB, Sex, and Race. The
Name Search System will use the NCIC-2000 NYSIIS algorithm for converting the
name string into the "phonetic" equivalent.

2.1.3    Sealing System

The Sealing System will support the electronic sealing and unsealing of the
photo images associated with an arrest. The Sealing System will receive
seal/unseal requests from the On-Line Booking System (OLBS). The Sealing
System will notify the Photo Imaging System of the Seal or Unseal event, send
letters requesting the return of the photo to the command posts which
received a copy of the photo, and track the return of the photos to the
Sealed Records Unit. The Sealing System will receive UF90 data (audit data of
who received a photo and when) from the Photo Imaging System.

2.1.4    Database Conversion Software

The Database Conversion software will convert the existing Warrant/Want/WOLF
records from the current VSAM/Adabas format to the new DB2 database format
which will be used for the new Warrant System. This will be done on a
one-time basis for the purpose of populating the new DB2 Warrant database.

2.2      Photo Imaging System Overview

The Photo Imaging System which utilizes photo/video imaging technology to
capture, store, and retrieve "mugshots" will replace the present time
consuming and labor intensive manual-intensive photo identification process.
In addition, the Photo Imaging System will print warrants (with or without
photos) and provide for on-line generation and printing of line-up photo
arrays and mugshots. This system consists of three subsystems: the Basic
Photo Imaging System and two investigative subsystems, the Intelligence
Subsystem and the Missing Persons Subsystem. A brief description of each
these systems/subsystems is provided in the following paragraphs.

2.2.1    Basic Photo Imaging System

The Basic Photo Imaging System will be a Commercial-Off-The-Shelf
(COTS)-based package which provides the capability to capture mugshots at the
booking sites, create and print photo line-ups, produce warrants with or
without imbedded mugshots, and support sealing and unsealing of photos. The
Basic Photo Imaging System will exchange booking data with the On-Line
Booking System (OLBS). The Basic Photo Imaging System will receive warrant
data from the Warrant System so that hardcopy Warrants, with or without
imbedded mugshots, can be printed on the Basic Photo Imaging System printers
either in black & white or in color. The Basic Photo Imaging System will send
UF90 data (audit data of who received a photo and when) to the Sealing
System. The Basic Photo Imaging System is based on the COTS Photo Imaging
System, "ForceField", which runs in a Unix environment.

Central Server Subsystem resides at headquarters on its own LAN and is
connected to the remote sites via the existing WAN infrastructure. The Basic
Photo Imaging System is further broken down into (1) the Capture Subsystem
which is located at the central booking sites, and (2) the Station-Level
Subsystem which is located at precincts and special units. The Station-Level
Subsystem consists of 76 precinct configurations and 16 special unit
configurations. All workstations for the Photo Imaging System will be
connected to the existing LANs.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 OVERVIEW - DESCRIPTION

The Photo Imaging System will utilize photo/video imaging technology to
capture, store, and retrieve "mugshots" and will replace the present time
consuming and labor intensive photo identification process. In addition, the
Photo Imaging System will print warrants (with or without photos) and provide
for on-line generation and printing of line-up photo arrays and mugshots. The
Photo Imaging System is based on the Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) photo
imaging system, "ForceField", which runs in a Unix environment. The Photo
Imaging System consists of three subsystems: the Basic Photo Imaging System
and two investigative subsystems, the Intelligence Subsystem and the Missing
Persons Subsystem. A brief description of each these systems/subsystems is
provided in the following paragraphs.

     THE BASIC PHOTO IMAGING SYSTEM will provide the capability to capture
     mugshots at the booking sites, create and print photo line-ups, produce
     warrants with or without imbedded mugshots, and support sealing and
     unsealing of photos. The Basic Photo Imaging System will exchange
     booking data with the On-Line Booking System (OLBS). The Basic Photo
     Imaging System will receive warrant data from the Warrant System so that
     hardcopy Warrants, with or without imbedded mugshots, can be printed on
     the Basic Photo Imaging System printers either in black & white or in
     color. The Basic Photo Imaging System will send UF90 data (audit data of
     who received a photo and when) to the Sealing System and will receive
     seal/unseal notifications from the Sealing System.

     THE INTELLIGENCE SUBSYSTEM will support the retention of electronic
     photographs/images and reference data associated with intelligence
     information which can include general intelligence, gangs, organized
     crime, threats, and other intelligence sources. The Intelligence
     Subsystem will send UF90 data (audit data of who received a photo and
     when) to the Sealing System and will receive seal/unseal notifications
     from the Sealing System. The Intelligence Subsystem will be capable of
     obtaining photos/mugshots from the Basic Photo Imaging System.

     THE MISSING PERSONS SUBSYSTEM will support the retention of electronic
     photographs and alpha-numeric data associated with missing persons,
     unidentified persons (unidentified DOA and amnesia victims), and
     body-parts. The Missing Persons Subsystem will receive missing persons
     data from the DB2 Missing Persons Case Management System. The Missing
     Persons Subsystem will be capable of obtaining photos/mugshots from the
     Basic Photo Imaging System. In addition, this subsystem incorporates a
     stand-alone commercial facial aging system, "PhotoSketch", to be
     provided by the Buyer.

EXHIBIT 1.1-1 provides a high-level functional view of the Photo Imaging
System and its associated functional subsystems: the Basic Photo Imaging
System, the Intelligence Subsystem, and the Missing Persons Subsystem.
Because all three functional subsystems are supported by the same central
server configuration, this central server configuration is broken out as a
separate subsystem. In addition, the Basic Photo Imaging  System is broken
down into (1) the Capture Subsystem which is located at the central booking
sites,

and (2) the Station-Level Subsystem which is located at precincts and special
units. The Station-Level Subsystem consists of 76 precinct configurations and
16 special unit configurations.

EXHIBIT 1.1-2 provides the exact configuration of each physical subsystem,
including the types and quantities of components and the detailed
specifications for each of the components. A brief description of each of the
physical subsystems shown in EXHIBIT 1.1-2 is provided in the following
paragraphs.

      The CENTRAL SERVER SUBSYSTEM consists of a pair of Sun SPARCserver 20s
      with shared access to the centralized images and pedigree data on RAID
      Level-5 disks via 25 MB/sec Fiber Optics. This configuration provides
      fail-save operations using the High Availability Option: if one server
      goes down, the other server takes over the functions of the failed
      server. This level supports the on-line repository of all Borough images
      and pedigree data, and the optical disk storage for backup and archival
      purposes. When an image is added to the central image repository, a
      copy is also written to the optical disk. After 3 years, the magnetic
      copy of the image is deleted from magnetic disk but will remain on
      optical disk for archival purposes. All searches are serviced at this
      level, and a list of "matches" are returned to the workstations. In
      addition, the Network and System Management is performed from this
      level.

      The CAPTURE SUBSYSTEM consists of a Pentium-based Unix workstation,
      with a video capture board for digitizing the photo images from the
      Hitachi HV-C20 camera. Each Borough provides centralized photo image
      capture for its associated Precincts during the booking process. The
      number of Capture Subsystems allocated to each of the Boroughs is
      based on the expected workload (i.e.: number of bookings) performed at
      that Borough. The Capture Subsystem temporarily stores the image(s) on
      its local magnetic disk storage and sends a copy of the image(s) to the
      Central Server Subsystem. The Capture Subsystem can perform in a
      stand-alone mode for a period of time.

      The STATION-LEVEL SUBSYSTEM consists of a Pentium-based Unix
      workstation and a variety of printers for the display of photos,
      generation and printing of photo line-ups, and the printing of both
      color and black-and-white warrants. The types and quantities of
      components allocated to each type of station is shown in EXHIBIT 1.1-2.

      The INTELLIGENCE SUBSYSTEM consists of the standard Display Stations
      and Capture Stations with a Tektronix Phaser 540 laser color printer, a
      Mitsubishi CP50 dye-sublimation color printer, and the Hitachi HV-C20
      with a copy-stand.

      The MISSING PERSONS SUBSYSTEM consists of the standard Display Station
      and Capture Station with a Mitsubishi CP50 dye-sublimation color
      printer and the Hitachi HV-C20 with a copy-stand.

1.2 OVERVIEW - FEATURES

The system will be a turnkey solution that utilizes a client/server
architecture communicating over the token-ring local area network (LAN)
existing at the boroughs, as well as an existing wide area network (WAN). A
pair of file servers at the Central Data Server site will ensure redundancy.
The system architecture approach to the ForceField system offers the utmost
in system availability, very efficient network load management, and
flexibility in data searches. The open system architecture of the ForceField
system will ensure future flexibility of programming options.

The Precinct workstations, the client portion of the client/server
architecture, are configured around powerful workstations with processing
capabilities to provide rapid response to requests from the user, allowing
the Central Data Site Servers to focus on the efficient management and
transfer of data and images to the workstations. The workstation's processing
facility is used for managing the user interface, local
compression/decompression, image review and enhancement and image
input/output device control. These workstations will be tied to the Central
Site Servers over the existing LAN.

To handle additional workstations and future enhancements without degrading
the response times of the system, the Central Data Servers can be easily
upgraded with additional memory, more or faster disks and other enhancements
as desired. Should the Central Site completely outgrow their current servers,
more powerful servers can be installed with little or no effect to the
application software.

KEY FEATURES OF THE FORCEFIELD SYSTEM.  During the initial research and
development of the ForceField System, various concepts and design goals were
defined as essential to a viable image database and automated warrant system.
An ongoing commitment to development has yielded the most powerful tool for
use by law enforcement agencies worldwide. Key features of the system include:

- - MULTI-FUNCTION UNIX WORKSTATIONS.  The latest development encompasses truly
  multi-tasking and multi-function client/server workstations.

- - LARGE-SCALE DATABASE MANAGEMENT.  SYBASE%, a high-speed relational
  database, was selected for the system and forms the basis for managing
  textual data. Since no commercially available software exists for managing
  large numbers of images, specialized software was developed to store and
  retrieve images efficiently. This software is device independent and
  supports both magnetic and optical drives.

- - DOD COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL.  The communication protocol used by the
  ForceField system is the Department of Defense standard TCP/IP. Token-Ring
  is fully supported by the ForceField system configuration provided as part
  of this contract. In addition, a variety of other physical networking
  options such as asynchronous RS-232 using SLIP (Serial Line Internet
  Protocol), fiber optics, microwave, and Ethernet can be supported by the
  ForceField system (although not included in this contract), allowing for both
  local-area and wide-area networks.

- - ON-LINE MULTI-USER CAPABILITY.  The image database is an information
  resource, available for access by a large number of users and was designed
  to be on-line 24 hours/day -- 7 days/week.

- - STRICT ACCESS CONTROL.  The New York City Police Department System
  Administrators will receive special training and will become the in-house
  experts responsible for the system. The System Administrators determine
  what functions are available to different personnel and workstations.
  Through a single designated system console, the System Administrators can
  assign and identify specific functions each operator or terminal is
  authorized to perform. Hierarchical security levels controlled by the
  System Administrators are provided in the system, ranging from the lowest
  level that allows only input of data to the highest level that permits a
  complete reorganization of data.

- - PROTECTED OPERATOR SIGN-ON/OFF.  An operator's identity and authorization
  code must be verified before he/she can begin a work session. This process
  is called CONNECTION and is performed by using the CONNECT command on the
  system menu. An operator must have a pre-assigned user name and password
  before they can CONNECT. When the session is completed, the DISCONNECT
  command is used. In addition, the system will automatically DISCONNECT a
  user after a specified inactive time period.

- - EASE OF USE.  As the end-users perceive the ForceField system as a tool
  assisting them in completing their work quickly and efficiently, a large
  amount of development effort was spent on the design of an easy-to-use user
  interface. The software is menu-driven and incorporates both pull-down and
  pop-up windows. The easy to operate user-interface allows most functions to
  be performed through a traditional keyboard sequence or mouse selection.
  Screens and messages have been designed to inform the users, as well as
  put them at ease.

- - HIGH-RESOLUTION PHOTO CAPTURE.  The Hitachi HV-C20, a high quality, 3-CCD,
  RGB camera can be controlled via RS-232 connection. By utilizing the remote
  control capability, a workstation can automatically adjust the gain, color
  balance, pedestal, and iris to pre-defined optimal levels -- ensuring
  consistency from image to image. This also enables the system to
  automatically compensate for skin-tone regardless of clothing color. The
  capture station will be equipped with an appropriate lighting system for
  quality images with minimal shadowing. Three point lighting will be
  incorporated with the 18% gray background and a reflective pedestal to
  provide optimum capture conditions. The camera will be securely mounted on
  a wall or ceiling at a height that will provide limited access to inmates.
  The camera will be equipped with the Vicon Model V3000 APT remote pan & tilt
  mechanism. This wall mounted device can be controlled by a control stick
  located at the workstation. The camera and lens configuration will ensure
  consistent capture of short and tall subjects.

- - PHOTO CAPTURE FLEXIBILITY.  The Hitachi HV-C20 RGB camera can be attached
  to a copy stand for the input of existing positive or negative images,
  including identifiable photos, fingerprint cards, or other related
  documents.

- - WIDE ARRAY OF PRINTERS.  The system supports a variety of printer options
  ranging from economical black and white printers utilizing standard copier
  paper for the production of internal jail cards, warrants, and other agency
  defined forms, to large format color printers used for ID card production,
  suspect prints, and photo lineups used in court cases.

- - JPEG COMPRESSION TECHNOLOGY.  Advanced techniques, based on the JPEG (Joint
  Photography Experts Group) compression standards, are used to reduce the
  image storage and transmission needs. Compression ratios of 10:1 to 15:1
  ensure the

  image can be reconstructed with no degradation visible to the human eye.
  It is the our intent to be remain compliant with the ANSI X3L2.8 compression
  standards. Given the size of the CAL-PHOTO mug images of 400,000 bytes
  uncompressed, a compression ratio of 15:1 may be used to yield a compressed
  image size of 25,000 bytes.

- - SECURE REMOTE DIAGNOSTICS.  As the system has been developed to span a wide
  geographic area, remote diagnostic capability for the hardware and software
  of all components of the system is standard. The System Administrators are
  provided the necessary utilities to monitor and in some cases reconfigure
  workstations from the server system console. The remote diagnostic
  capability is used by the Seller's technical support personnel in
  diagnosing problems, as well as in upgrading software releases and
  installing new features. To prevent unauthorized remote access, modem
  password protection, call back features and port password protection are
  all available as part of the system.

- - AUTOMATIC START-UP AND RECOVERY.  The ForceField system start-up is
  automatic. The boot sequence will start all necessary processes, open
  required files, and create batch queues for necessary batch jobs. In the
  event the system was previously shutdown improperly, disk and database
  recovery are automatic. In normal use, a workstation is left in continuous
  operation after it is installed and rarely powered down. In the event a
  workstation needs to be powered on, the initializing of hardware and
  loading of software takes no more than five minutes.

- - ON-LINE SYSTEM BACKUP AND RESTORATION.  Both the textual information and
  the image data can be backed-up while the system is in full operation. The
  text data is copied to magnetic tape, while the image files will be written
  to large-format optical WORM.

- - AUDIT TRAIL FACILITIES.  To ensure adequate documentation of database
  record review and modifications, audit trail facilities will be part of the
  system.

2.  REQUIREMENTS

This section provides the system requirements for the Photo Imaging System.
As stated in section 1; the solution provided by the Seller for the Photo
Imaging System is a COTS product, Forcefield. As part of this COTS package,
NYCPD-specific customization of screen formats, print formats, database
content, and data validation rules will be done. The detailed customization
specifications for the Basic Photo Imaging System, the Intelligence
Subsystem, and Missing Persons Subsystem will be developed during the
customization definition phase, documented in a Customization Specifications
Document, and reviewed during the Customization Specifications Review.

2.1  ENVIRONMENT

The application software and hardware will support the Department's
environment. The ForceField system, built around an open system architecture,
will ensure future flexibility of programming options. Additionally, it is the
overall objective to provide a standardized imaging solution for law
enforcement agencies that can be tied to a network for the exchange of
information with other agencies utilizing varying imaging systems. By
strictly adhering to the CAL-PHOTO standards, the system will offer
consistent data transmission quality that will enable useful information
exchange between agencies. Future replacement and upgrades associated with
the related hardware and software will be supported.

2.1.1  LAN ENVIRONMENT

The Department's LAN environment is described in this section.

2.1.1.1 NETWORK REQUIREMENTS

2.1.1.1.1 Token-Ring LAN Environment.
Communications among workstations and servers will be over existing Novell
token-ring LANs, and through WAN communications networks supplied by the
Department. All workstations and servers will be configured with token-ring
network interface cards which will allow physical connection to the Novell
networks. Communications among the devices will be through peer-to-peer
TCP/IP protocols rather than through the Department's Netware servers.
However, the Department's routers will need to be configured for TCP/IP use.

Communication between the Department's 3090 mainframe and the ForceField data
server will be via SNA/3270 protocol emulation software (I/O Connect) and
physical gateway. Support is also available for LU 6.2 and TCP/IP. The final
protocol choice will be made as a joint decision between the Buyer and Seller.

2.1.1.1.2 Mainframe Interface.
The Department shares criminal justice information with the Office of Court
Administration (OCA) via the Department's IBM 3090. As many law enforcement
agencies share criminal justice data on a mainframe, a key concern is how the
imaging system will interface with the mainframe system to avoid duplicate
data entry. A real-time interface will be established to OLBS. In addition to
the real-time interface, a batch interface to OLBS will also be provided to
handle those situations in which either the OLBS system is not available, or
when the OLBS data is incomplete, or when the OLBS data has been updated. The

transaction protocols and content/format will be defined in the Interface
Control Document which will be jointly developed by the Buyer and the Seller.

2.1.1.1.3 OLBS Interface.
Depending on the actual physical location chosen for the ForceField Central
Data Server, either a direct gateway connection or a 56KB connection will be
established. The ForceField workstations will access mainframe data through
the ForceField server. This minimizes the number of connections coming into
the 3090 and isolates any changes in the interconnect to a single machine.

OLBS currently runs in an ADABAS environment, but will be converted by the
Department to DB2. The Department is responsible for modifying OLBS to
send/receive the transactions, as defined in the Interface Control Document.

2.1.1.2  SYSTEMS/FILE SERVERS

The ForceField system's central processing will be handled by a pair of Sun
Microsystems SPARCserver 20s with shared access to dual Sun Microsystems
SPARCstorage Arrays supporting RAID level 5. This configuration provides
FAIL-SAFE operations using OpenVision's OpenV* HIGH AVAILABILITY OPTION. If
one server goes down, the other server takes over the functions of the failed
server. Both pedigree and image searches from system ImageStations (display
and capture workstations) will go against the database at the Central Data
Server site. Because high-speed 25MB/sec fiber optic connections will be
incorporated between these components, this fully replicated pair of file
servers and storage arrays at the Central Data Server Site will provide fast
access within a fully redundant and secure environment. An optical disk
storage subsystem will be incorporated for image backup and archival purposes.
This substystem is comprised of 2 SONY WDD-600 3.2 GB optical drives, 1 SONY
WDC-610 optical controller, and is managed by a SPARC 5 optical server. In
addition, the Network and System Management is performed from this level.

Communication between workstations and servers will be over existing Novell
Token-Ring LANs and through WAN communication networks to be supplied by the
Department. All workstations and servers will be configured with token-ring
network interface cards that will allow physical connection to the Novell
networks. Communications among the devices will be through peer-to-peer
TCP/IP protocols rather than through the Department's Netware servers.
However, the Department's routers must be configured for TCP/IP use.

The Sun Microsystems SPARCserver 5 and the SPARCserver 20 servers are members
of an upward-compatible family of processors. These servers can accommodate
future expansion by upgrading the CPU with minimal effect on applications
software.

The Central Data Server will be configured to handle up to 175 TO 200
simultaneous users. The file servers at the Central Data Server site will be
initially equipped with sufficient real main memory and enough input/output
capability to support all the software functions and meet all the performance
requirements, as specified in Attachment E. In addition, the server is
capable of future expansion to twice the initially supplied memory and I/O
capacity.

The system will be able to support double the original maximum amount of
storage with appropriate upgrades to file server RAM and disk storage.

The dual SPARCserver 20 file servers will be configured with adequate disk
space for system administration, buffering, and other server operations.


                       Photo Imaging System: 9
                                                                    Revision C
<PAGE>

                            Attachment 1
                        PHOTO IMAGING SYSTEM


The dual SPARCserver 20 file servers will have their own dedicated system
terminal and keyboard for software maintenance and other administrative tasks.

The dual SPARCserver 20 file servers will have their own laser jet printer
for software database maintenance and will have the ability to print high
quality black & white management reports.

The dual SPARCserver 20 file servers will provide multi-tasking, allowing
workstations to query the database while other workstations are storing
images. This is enabled by utilizing Sun Microsystems Solaris, a true UNIX
multi-tasking operating environment.

The dual SPARCserver 20 file servers will be equipped with a UNISON Series -
On-line - Sine Wave UPS manufactured by Tripp Lite. The model chosen is the
MPS 1200 with backup times of 22 minutes (half load) and 10 minutes (full
load), and a zero transfer time. This UPS provides 4 receptacles.

Because of the independent processing capability of the workstations, a total
system shutdown is unlikely. In addition, equality in functions and
processing power of the capture and display workstations allows them to be
virtually interchangeable. In the event of a system outage, the ForceField
"data shadowing" feature prevents the loss of virtually any data or images.

The system is capable of continued operation in degraded modes. The system
will be provided with power conditioning equipment at each file server such
that outage or fluctuations of commercial power will not significantly disrupt
operation of the system.

2.2  IMAGE STORAGE

A three year retention capacity before archiving will be provided with the
system. The system will be configured to handle the expected volume of 3.8
million records on-line. The storage total of the Central Data Server is
noted in EXHIBIT 2.2-1. Dual Sun Microsystems SPARCstorage Arrays supporting
RAID level 5 will be incorporated into the Department's system for both
pedigree and image data. 25MB/sec fiber optic connections will be
incorporated between the SPARCstorage Arrays and the SPARCservers, and will
provide fast access within a fully redundant and secure environment. RAID
systems are an intelligently managed collection of disk drives with their
data organized to optimize performance for a particular set of tasks. RAID
systems bring needed relief to environments that have demanding performance
and reliability requirements.

RAID technology was selected for the Department's Photo Imaging System
because no single drive failure will take the system off-line, and other
drives can be used to reconstruct data. RAID 5 provides high transfer
bandwidth since different parts of the desired data are being read from
multiple spindles simultaneously. Random read performance is also very high
since the actuators are not tied together and may operate independently of
one another. Both the parity information and data are interleaved across the
array in a cyclic pattern to improve write performance.

Each SPARCstorage Array 200 configured for the Department will hold (24) 2.9
GB 5.25" full height differential SCSI-2 disk drives for a total of 70 GB.
Additionally, there is room in each cabinet for expansion by 50%, or a total
capacity in each cabinet of 104 GB with (36) 2.9 GB drives. Additional array
cabinets can be added in the future as needed to greatly increase online
capacity.

Some of the main benefits delivered by disk arrays include:

     - Higher transfer rates
     - Large number of I/O operations per second
     - Increased data availability
     - Easier management of large amounts of data
     - Deferred maintenance when a drive fails
     - Improved configuration flexibility

   -  HARDWARE UL CERTIFICATION.  The equipment installed under this
      procurement is fully UL tested and certified.

   -  ADHERENCE TO FIRE AND ELECTRICAL CODES.  Common fire and electrical
      codes will be observed and adhered to when installing the system.

- -  PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE.  The primary elements of the ForceField system
   will utilize solid-state technology, and require no routine maintenance
   to continue functioning effectively. The Department has the
   responsibility to maintain equipment in clean condition and manage all
   environmental factors. Specific instructions for performing these
   responsibilities are provided by the trainers during the system
   installation.

      -  Minimize static electric build-up in carpeted areas with use of
         properly grounded static mats and/or application of anti-static spray
         as frequently as required.

      -  Provide A.C. outlets and assure that any other electrical devices
         such as motors, heating apparatus, fluorescent and/or blinking lights
         are not plugged into the same outlet/circuit.

      -  Printing and scanning devices, which include mechanical parts for
         moving the paper or film, will require regular cleaning and care by
         the user to ensure satisfactory results.

2.3.2 CAMERAS

Capture workstations at the booking sites will include a high-resolution,
3-Chip RGB Solid State Video Camera, as well as provide the capability to run
the display applications of the ForceField system. Equality in functions and
processing power of the capture and display workstations allows them to be
virtually interchangeable.

- -  3-CHIP RGB SOLID STATE VIDEO CAMERA.  For CAL-PHOTO specification systems,
   the remote controllable Hitachi HV-C20 will be installed. The HV-C20 is a
   3 chip, 700+ line, high quality, RGB camera that has the ability to be
   controlled via RS-232 connection. By utilizing the remote control capability,
   a workstation can automatically adjust the gain, color balance, pedestal
   and iris to pre-defined optimal levels -- ensuring consistency from image to
   image. The system will automatically compensate for skin-tone regardless of
   clothing color.

- -  REMOTE CONTROL PAN & TILT.  The camera will be securely mounted on a wall
   or ceiling at a height that will provide limited access to inmates. The
   camera will be equipped with the Vicon Model V3000 APT remote pan & tilt
   mechanism. This wall mounted device can be controlled by a control stick
   located at the workstation. The camera and lens configuration will ensure
   consistent capture of short and tall subjects.

- -  AUTOMATIC REMOTE ZOOM.  When capturing scars, marks, or tatoos, and
   stand-up photos, this subsystem will allow the user to change the camera
   focus and aperture settings (zoom in or out) via the operator keyboard.
   After capturing the desired image, the operator can return the camera focus
   and aperture settings to the previously calibrated default setting via the
   operator keyboard.

- -  THREE-POINT LIGHTING.  Three-point lighting with 3200-degree Kelvin bulbs
   and a photo-gray backdrop ensure that an optimal 18% gray background are
   provided at each capture site. In addition, a reflective pedestal that
   eliminates undesirable shadowing from beneath the subject's chin is also
   included at each capture location.

- -  OTHER INPUT DEVICES.  The Hitachi HV-C20 RGB camera will be attached to a
   copy stand for the input of existing positive or negative images, including
   identifiable photos, fingerprint cards, or other related documents.

- -  FREEZE FRAME CAMERAS.  Still video technology will be incorporated at the
   Intelligence Division and the Missing Persons Unit. These capture sites will
   be handled by the Canon RC-570 still video camera. The RC-570 offers
   450-line horizontal TV-lines of resolution in the Hi-Band mode. Automatic
   point, shoot, and play features ensure ease of operation. These digital
   "snap shots" will be taken and saved on a

  removable 2-inch floppy disk. Each disk has the capacity of 50 images.
  Images can be directly input from the RC-570 through a provided VID I/O
  subsystem. Images can also be recorded, played back, or erased directly on
  the RC-570. No other equipment is necessary. Once transferred, the images
  will be instantly available at all stations on the network. A wireless
  remote is included.

- - CAL-PHOTO The camera specified will meet or exceed the CAL-PHOTO standard
  requirement. The following information provides a more technical discussion
  as to how video cameras are rated.

  Unlike text and numerical data that can be entered and then updated at
  will, images must be acquired properly the first time. Recognizing this,
  the California Law Enforcement's Electronic Photographic Imaging System
  Standard (CAL-PHOTO) was created not only to define a format that would aid
  in the inter-agency exchange of images, but would also establish the
  minimum acceptable level of image quality. While most RFQ specifications
  call for compliance with CAL-PHOTO, many vendors are proposing camera and
  lighting systems that neither meet the spirit nor the letter of the
  standard.

  CAL-PHOTO requires, that regardless of all other specifications, the
  resultant captured image must be "...[subjectively] comparable in quality
  to a Polaroid image." In addition the camera itself must be a "solid state,
  CCD-RGB camera with a minimum 500 line resolution." This means that 1) the
  overall quality of the camera, lighting, and image processing systems must
  be able to produce an image that is visually comparable in quality
  (resolution, color fidelity, etc.) to a Polaroid photograph; and 2) that
  the camera have, at a minimum, an RGB resolution of 500 lines.

  Given the current state of technology, these specifications will require
  that the camera be a broadcast quality, 3 CCD camera, whose RGB resolution
  is greater than 500 lines. However most camera manufacturers do not quote
  an RGB resolution in their specification sheets, rather they quote the
  Y-channel (or luminance signal) resolution. Because of the spatial
  offsetting of the CCD elements, the Y-channel resolution will always be
  higher than the camera's RGB resolution. As an example, consider the
  Hitachi HV-C20. Its Y-channel resolution is specified as 700 lines. The
  HV-C20 and combined lighting subsystem exceed all elements of the CAL-PHOTO
  standard.

2.3.3  COLOR PRINTER

The Tektronics Phaser 540 color laser printer will meet all of the printing
needs for the Department at 12 sites (2 each at 4 Borough Warrant Squads, 2
each at the Central Warrant Unit, 1 each at the Joint Fugitive Task Force,
and 1 for the Police Commissioner) for both color and black & white. This
printer offers excellent durability (up to 15,000 pages per month per
printer) and as can be seen from EXHIBIT 2.3.3-1, also meets the
requirements.

EXHIBIT 2.3.3-1: Comparison matrix for Tektronics Phaser 540 color laser
printer in color and black & white modes.

In addition, 10 sites (1 each at the Photo Unit, Missing Persons Unit,
Intelligence Bureau, and 7 at the Detective Bureau) will utilize the
Mitsubishi CP50U dye diffusion thermal printer. The Mitsubishi CP50 provides
a sharp Postscript images with a print resolution of 800x480.

The ForceField system has been designed to support both local printing (with
the printer directly attached to the local workstation) and remote (network)
printing (with the printer attached to some other workstation). For network
printing the output can be directed to a workstation which is either at the
same physical location (via the local network) or it can be directed to a
workstation that is remote (via the wide area network). In this manner many
users can share a single printer. In addition this means that a workstation
remains fully functional even when its local printer is "down". The user
would simply direct the output to any other workstation that has a
functioning printer.

The ForceField product supports a variety of printers from small format
dye-sublimation type printers like the Mitsubishi CP50U to very large laser
printers like the Cannon CLC350 and 550.

As part of the on-site training, all of the steps necessary for adding paper
and replacing toner cartridges will be demonstrated.

2.3.4  BLACK & WHITE PRINTER

The DEClaser 5100 printer will be used for black & white printing. The
DEClaser 5100 has a B&W resolution of 600 x 600 dpi and is rated at 12-14 PPM.

The DEC 5100 is completely HPLJ4 compatible.

The DEClaser 5100 offers a standard 300 x 300 resolution and an optional
600 x 600 and 1200 x 1200 resolution. The DEClaser 5100 configuration for
this contract supports the 600 x 600 resolution.

The DEClaser 5100 is easy to use and maintain.

2.3.5 DISK/OPTICAL STORAGE

2.3.5.1 OPTICAL DISK

An optical disk storage subsystem will be incorporated for backup and
archival purposes. This subsystem is comprised of 2 SONY WDD-600 3.2 GB
optical drives, 1 SONY WDC-610 optical controller, and is managed by a SPARC 5
optical server.

                        Photo Imaging System:  17                    Revision C

                         PHOTO IMAGING SYSTEM

12" optical platters have a storage capacity in excess of 3 GB per side.
Assuming 25,000 bytes per image, one side of a platter can store over 100,000
images. With a projected media life of more than 100 years, these Write Once
Read Many (WORM) devices are particularly well suited for an archival
application such as a mugshot system. Additionally, the backup and
restoration times are measured in minutes and not hours.

Programs, Indexes, Description Data Files, System Administration Data Files,
and History File Archiving backups will be handled by a 5.0 GB 8mm device
located at the Central Data Server site. Image files will be handled by large
format Sony WORM (Write Once, Read Many) opticals. These 12-inch optical
platters have a total storage capacity in excess of 6.0 GBytes. Again
assuming about 25,000 bytes per image, one side of a platter can store about
100,000 images.

The system has built-in features for monitoring, measuring, and reporting on
its own performance. These areas would include throughput, workloads,
capacity, utilization, and processing delays. The system monitoring software
allows the System Administrators to monitor system utilization and
performance information through the use of the System Administrator's
console. In the event that additional storage is required, a fail-safe
contingency will allow for continued capture of photo images while additional
storage is being allocated/installed.

2.3.5.2 HIGH-CAPACITY MAGNETIC STORAGE. (CENTRAL DATA SERVER)

A description of the high-capacity magnetic storage devices for on-line
storage of both pedigree and image data is provided in Section 2.2.

2.3.5.3 HIGH-CAPACITY 8MM TAPE BACKUP. (CENTRAL DATA SERVER)

Two 5.0 GB 8mm SCSI devices will provide backup cability for pedigree data
and system software at the Central Data Server Site.

2.3.5.4 WORM OPTICAL DISK ARCHIVE. (CENTRAL DATA SERVER)

An optical disk storage subsystem will be incorporated for backup and
archival purposes. This subsystem is comprised of 2 SONY WDD-600 3.2 GB
optical drives, 1 SONY WDC-610 optical controller, and is managed by a SPARC
5 optical server (see Section 2.3.5.1 for additional details).

2.3.6 BACKUP AND RECOVERY/CONTINGENCY

The Central Data Server site will support RAID copy of all images and
pedigree data, and the optical disk storage subsystem for backup and archival
purposes. Programs, Indexes, Description Data Files, System Administration
Data Files, and History File Archiving backups will be handled by a 5.0 GB
8mm device located at the Central Data Server site. Image files will be
handled by large format WORM (Write Once, Read Many) opticals. These 12-inch
optical platters have a total storage capacity in excess of 6.0 GBytes. Again
assuming about 25,000 bytes per image, one side of a platter can store about
100,000 images.

We suggest a daily backup to tape of the demographic databases, as well as a
backup to optical of the image files. In addition, we suggest maintaining a
minimum of 3 generations

of backups to off-site locales. An image backup of 1,000 images will take
less than 5 minutes.

Data can be restored directly from the most current set of optical disk
archives at the Central Site, obviating any need to transfer data online.

The system will remain fully available to all functions while backups are
run. The client server configuration ensures that little or no degradation
should be perceived by the workstations on the system while backups are run
at the Central Subsystem.

When a data restoration process is completed, utilities may be run to
"re-index" and verify the integrity of the system. The system is equipped
with a set of utilities that will be run after a restoration has taken place
to ensure the integrity of the data sync.

2.3.7 CAPTURE/DISPLAY STATION

The Seller will apply advanced techniques, based on the JPEG (Joint
Photography Experts Group) compression standards, to reduce the image storage
and transmission needs. Compression ratios of 10:1 to 15:1 ensure the image
can be reconstructed with no degradation visible to the human eye. It is our
intent to be remain compliant with the ANSI X3L2.8 compression standards.
Given the size of the CAL-PHOTO mug images of 400,000 bytes uncompressed, a
compression ratio of 15:1 may be used to yield a compressed image size of
25,000 bytes.

The ForceField system captures CAL-PHOTO specification mug images of 400,000
bytes uncompressed. Because of the considerable size of these images, they
undergo a CAL-PHOTO compliant JPEG compression and yield a standard
compressed image size of 25,000 bytes. When multiplying 25,000 bytes times
the number of images that could match search criteria during the creation of
a lineup (or when issuing a search with few criteria), the possibility of
significant transmission load over the network between the central file
server and the requesting workstation is great.

To improve response time, the Seller will implement the "Postage Stamp"
approach. This approach will transfer a smaller image (postage stamp) to the
workstation for viewing under witness mode or photo lineup creation. This
creation of a 5K image file effectively reduces image transfer time by a
factor of 5, or 80%. To maintain the highest print quality the ForceField
system will utilize the full-sized stored image at the time of printing. This
sophisticated approach allows the system to send the remaining 4/5 of the
image only when needed, i.e., printing. This will reduce the amount of
network traffic between the ImageBank Central Server and the ImageStation.

The ForceField system will display images in full color with SVGA resolution
on a non-interlaced 15-inch monitor.

The ForceField system will utilize a single display monitor as a view finder
for image capture and as the text and image display device.

The ForceField system incorporates broadcast quality lenses which by nature
do not incorporate automatic focus. Focus is calibrated for optimal sharpness
at the time of installation. The camera has automatic iris control for the
adjustment of brightness and contrast. Optionally, the system does make
provision for the manual adjustment of zoom and focus from the keyboard
though an available remote control subsystem. This feature is

used to enable the operator to capture scar, mark, or tattoo information from
a seated position at the capture terminal.

The Hitachi HV-C20 has automatic iris control for the adjustment of
brightness and contrast.

The ForceField system has a menu driven function to import and export images
in TIFF and other formats to facilitate the use by commercial graphics
packages.

Compression/decompression requirements are:

     a.   The system will support a resolution of 1024 x 768 x 16-bit
          resolution.

     b.   The system is compatible with the ANSI X3L2.8 standard.

     c.   Compression utilizing the JPEG standard in less than 10 seconds
          from image capture to image storage (across a LAN)

The workstation will provide multi-tasking capability, allowing workstations
to query the database while other workstations are storing images. This is
enabled by SCO UNIX, a true UNIX multi-tasking operating environment.

Surge protection will be supplied at all workstations. We use the Current
Technology PLUS 15 series of protection. The PLUS 15 is rated at 15 Amps,
50/60Hz Frequency, and has an operating voltage of 120 VAC.

The System Administrators will not have the ability to create additional data
elements. Typically changes such as these can be quickly handled by our 24
hour/7 day week support center. This will ensure future compatibility with
upgrades provided to our software.

The system will exchange data with OLBS as described in Section 2.1.1 and
will provide the ability to send images to OLBS upon request.

The ForceField system will provide the capability to display photo and
optionally to display identification information side by side on the screen
together with text concerning the subject and the inquiry.

                             PHOTO IMAGING SYSTEM

2.4.2  MUG SHOT/SUBJECT IDENTIFICATION

2.4.2.1  RELATIONAL DATABASE FEATURES

The ForceField system utilizes SYBASE-TM-, the leading relational database
management system that effectively addresses the demanding requirements of
distributed, on-line applications such as the Department's Photo Imaging
System. SYBASE-TM- handles on-line applications with its advanced
Client/Server Architecture. With this architecture, data management and
transactions functions can be performed independently from client
applications and user interfaces. The result is a dramatic gain in
application development productivity and applications reliability. SYBASE-TM-
clients and servers can be deployed on the different machines, communicating
transparently across a network of workstations. ForceField utilizes SYBASE-TM-
SQL Server that handles all data management and transaction functions,
independent of client applications and user interface functions.

The system software is able to perform searches by booking number and
specified descriptive data. The system has the ability to page forward or
backward through the file from the match starting point. The active
information regarding a particular image can be viewed instantly on the same
screen.

The ForceField system will randomly place the suspect in the development of a
photo line-up. The system will provide for automatic random reordering of the
photos after final selection. Reordering of photos will be prohibited once
the line-up is stored. We can provide the ability to control the placement of
the suspect, however we have found that our randomized placement is a more
accepted approach.

New algorithms within the ForceField system will eliminate many of the
duplications experienced in previous line-up sessions. Only one person from a
particular ID number, or Master Key will be allowed to show during any given
photo line-up session. This will reduce the possibility of a different
appearance of the same person when constructing a photo line-up. Last
Name/DOB Match provides that an image with the same last name and same date
of birth as the suspect will be excluded from the photo line-up session. This
will reduce the possibility of a different appearance of the same person when
constructing a photo line-up.

A feature unique to the system known as Soundex is helpful in retrieving
names that sound alike. For example, the last name Cane can be spelled one of
three ways; Cane, Kane, or Caine. In this case the system has built-in
algorithms which search for similar sounding names. The Soundex character is
"S" and can be placed anywhere in the string of a name field.

In addition, a Wild Card search can be accomplished using any text field such
as the Name field, Case #, or Jacket/Folder. This feature is of value when
the operator has an inaccurate or partial spelling of a person's name or an
incomplete case number. For example, you have the last three digits of a
6-digit long Case number. You would activate the Wild Card search by entering
the "%" key and the numbers 123 in the Case # field. This will retrieve all
records with case numbers ending in 123.

The following features are provided by the ForceField system.

     a.   Full Boolean queries (AND/OR) on all fields

     f.   Upon option, eliminate and insert 1 to 6 images at a time from a
          set of selected images into the display array

     g.   Upon option, scroll backward and forward among selected images

     h.   Upon option, scroll through all images on file for a suspect

     i.   Upon option, select a specific image from the displayed images and
          the system will display that image and the appropriate attribute data

     j.   Upon option, insertion of voluntary defendant photos into the array

Upon option, the ForceField system will print black and white or color print
of suspect (if not sealed), and print frontal image or frontal and profile
image or distinguishing photo images. The system will identify the requester
of these printed photos for use in the sealing process.

2.4.3  PHOTO LINE-UP

The ForceField system line-up application will return all images and
identifying data of persons whose description matches another person already
entered into the system. The system will allow the user to save, suspend for
later review or disqualify/delete a photo from the line-up list. The final
version of a line-up will be saved for later retrieval. The system will allow
a user to print a line-up with or without associated identifying data. The
system randomly places the suspect in the development of a photo line-up. The
system will provide for automatic random reordering of the photos after final
selection. Reordering of photos will be prohibited once the line-up is
stored. We can provide the ability to control the placement of the suspect,
however we have found that our randomized placement is a more accepted
approach.

The ForceField system will display 6 images at a time when in Photo line-up
mode.

Display suspects in random sequence or in a sequence as defined by the user
allowing suspects to be added or removed from the line-up.

Upon option, capture line-up array for the case history while recording the
photo #s and position # in the case history.

Upon option, display identifying information on a suspect.

Does not allow altering of image.

Under security, print 8.5 x 11 black and white/color copy of the line-up
array and print a 4 x 5 color print of each selected individual displayed in
the finalized line-up array.

Upon option, under security, print 2 x 2.5 color prints of each suspect
chosen for the photo line-up array.

Simultaneous display of images and text on a single screen.

Allow for sealing designation and by-pass of sealed photos.

2.4.4  WARRANT DOCUMENT PRINTING

The ForceField system will print 8 1/2 x 11 black and white warrants of
wanted suspects including black and white/color photo image and selected
alphanumeric data. The ability to print pre-defined output formats with and
without a photo will be provided.

The ForceField system will print a 4 x 5 color print of suspect with image
and selected data; upon print 4 x 5 color print with images only (e.g., no
alphanumeric data).

The system optionally has the ability to produce movement identification
utilizing bar codes within prisoner wrist bracelets or ID-cards.

The ForceField system has a menu driven function to import and export images
in TIFF and other formats to facilitate the use by commercial graphics
packages.

2.4.5  USER-DEFINED AUDITING REPORTS

The system will be installed with a set of standard management reports,
indicating usage and access to the system. Further, an advanced 4GL report
writer is part of the system, allowing the Department to modify and develop
new management report formats. The report generator has the ability to store
the ad-hoc search criteria as objects for future re-use.

The ForceField system will automatically record every significant system
transaction and event in a log file on disk and retain on-line for a minimum
of 60 days. The transaction to be recorded will include all system start-ups,
authorization file changes, sign-ons and sign-offs, and images taken. Each
history record will include the date and time of the transaction and the
operator, unit, officer, and event identification as applicable. The
following details our approach:

The Management/Statistical Reporting System consists of four reports allowing
an agency to track ForceField usage and utilization, one transaction file to
audit usage of users and equipment, and an Ad-Hoc Reporting Function. These
reports are designed to help manage the completeness of booking records. Only
active (not sealed) records will be reported from.

- -    DAILY RECAP REPORT.  The Daily Recap Report provides basic Booking and
     Folder Information within a selected date range. The Daily Recap report
     will indicate, with Master/Booking Key, the last names of individuals
     booked through the ForceField system. Person names are also displayed.

- -    FOLDER/BOOKING:  WITHOUT IMAGE REPORT.  The Folder/Booking: Without Image
     Report displays records with appearances that are missing an image. This
     report will generate a list of Master/Booking keys, with booking
     incidents.

                          Photo Imaging System

   - FOLDER/BOOKING: MISSING APPEARANCE INFORMATION REPORT. The
     Folder/Booking: Missing Appearance Information Report displays records
     in Booking where selected appearance fields are missing within a
     selected date range. This report will generate a list of Master/Booking
     keys missing partial (or all) appearance information. The user selects
     which appearance data to check the absence of, and is given the option
     to select the missing appearance data with the operational operators
     and/or.

   - MONTHLY RECAP REPORT. The Monthly Recap Report counts the number of
     Folder, Booking And Images within a selected date range.

   - AUDIT TRANSACTION FILE. The Audit Transaction File creates a file
     containing a file containing system access, date of transaction, user
     performing transaction and the type of transaction that was performed for
     a select date range.

   - AD HOC REPORTING FUNCTION. The Ad Hoc Reporting Function will enable
     trained personnel to create specialized reports using ForceField data
     elements.

     The following fields will be available for ad hoc reports:

     - Number of mug shots taken by a Booking site for a specified period of
       time.

     - Number of lineups by Precinct/Command for a specified period of time.

     - Number of photos printed by Precinct/Command for a specified period of
       time (black and white/color).

     - Number of local misdemeanor or felony warrants printed by a Precinct
       or Borough Warrant Squad for a specified period of time (black and
       white/color).

     - Number of queries and prints by special investigative units for a
       specified period of time.

     - Audit list of police officers or other authorized outside agencies
       showing the ID of requester, NYSID # of the mug shot, number of photos
       printed, command (agency), case #, arrest # and date printed over a
       specified period of time.

     - System administration audit by location, terminal, ID and password for:

               a. List of users, passwords, security level access privileges
               b. List of attempts for possible breaches of security

2.4.6    SECURITY

The file servers will be located in a secure area, physically distant from
the workstations. This significantly reduces the risk of malicious
destruction of hardware and data. Comprehensive software security features
are built into ForceField system, and include password protected log-ons,
session records, and multiple levels of database access.


                        Photo Imaging System: 28                  Revision C

                          Photo Imaging System

The ForceField system also has a complete authorization and control subsystem
that enables the System Administrators to restrict a user to only specific
functions. In addition user-ID's can be created with pre-defined expiration
dates so that no explicit action needs to be taken to deactivate user access.
Security is also provided on a database by database basis. That is, a person
granted privileges in one database, is not automatically granted the same
privileges in another database. Futhermore, the software is designed to
prevent accidental or unauthorized destruction of records, by asking for
passwords and confirmation before information is deleted. User authorization
is on a function by function basis, and the System Administrators are
provided utilities to manage user log-ons, password, and function
authorization.

The system requires each operator to "sign on" to the system prior to the
operation of any function of the system. An operator's identity and
authorization code must be verified before he/she can begin a work session.
This process is called CONNECTION and is performed by using the CONNECT
command on the system menu. An operator must have a pre-assigned user name
and password before they can CONNECT. When the session is completed, the
DISCONNECT command is used. In addition, the system will automatically
DISCONNECT a user after a specified inactive time period. The sign-on controls
access to critical system functions, defines the functions to be performed by
each workstation and operator, and provides for "tagging" each transaction in
the history file with the identification of the operator who performed the
transaction.

Access control is implemented on both a machine, operator, and database
basis. An operator control table will list all authorized operators and the
specific functions each individual operator is authorized to perform. The
system will permit an operator at a workstation to perform only those
functions for which both the operator and the workstation are authorized.
Only the System Administrators or supervisory personnel will be able to
access and update the control tables themselves.

The ForceField system will automatically record every significant system
transaction and event in a log file on disk and retain on-line for a minimum
of 60 days. The transactions to be recorded will include all system
start-ups, authorization file changes, sign-ons and sign-offs, and images
taken. Each history record will include the date and time of the transaction
and the operator, unit, officer, and event identification as applicable.

The system will use ID-codes and passwords to restrict access to the
individual for display, update, and image capture (including outside
agencies).

The system can have the capability to allow a user to change his/her
password. For utmost security we suggest that only the System Administrators
or supervisory personnel have the ability to access and update the control
tables.

The system will not permit on-line changes to the NYCPD arrest number.

The system will allow records to be electronically sealed or unsealed only by
the System Administrators manually or via a secured programmatic feed.

Once the record has been sealed, only the System Administrator will have the
capability to retrieve the image(s) associated with that record regardless of
the media type.

The system will allow the System Administrators to make administrative
changes from any imaging workstation.

The system will allow only the Department to control the authorization of
specific personnel via security to view/print, add, change, delete or capture
images and data. Outside agencies can only view photos and data.

As the system has been developed to span a wide geographic area, remote
diagnostic capability of the hardware and software of all components of the
system is standard. The System Administrators are provided the necessary
utilities to monitor and in some cases reconfigure workstations from the
server system console. The remote diagnostic capability is used by the our
technical support personnel in diagnosing problems, as well as in upgrading
software releases and installing new features. To prevent unauthorized remote
access, modem password protection, call back features and port password
protection are all available as part of the system.

2.4.7    ARCHIVING/PURGING IMAGES

The system will purge and transfer onto tape or other storage media archived
photos based upon different historical parameters (not yet defined) and as
defined by the Department's present sealing process.

The system will maintain physical index of records purged and method for
reinstating these items along with appropriate audit trails.

2.5      INTELLIGENCE SUBSYSTEM

The Intelligence Subsystem is designed to be used by the Intelligence
Division for the tracking and identification of known gang members and
organized crime figures. The Intelligence Subsystem will be capable of
additionally retrieving centrally stored electronic mug shot images and
storing them on a separate database with protected access. The Intelligence
Subsystem will provide the ability to extract electronic photo images by
known search criteria and create photo lineups from the resultant searches.
The Intelligence Subsystem Requirements document provides a more detailed
functional description of the Intelligence Subsystem.

The following equipment will be supplied as part of the Intelligence
Subsystem:

         Two (2) video/freeze-frame capture stations (cameras): Canon RC-570
         Still Video Cameras as described in Section 2.3.2.

         Two (2) scanning devices: Hitachi HV-C20 3-chip cameras mounted on a
         Kaiser copy stand described in Section 2.3.9.

         Two (2) capture workstations as described in Section 2.3.7.

         Two (2) display workstations as described in Section 2.3.8.

         Two (2) color printers as described in Section 2.3.3.

         One (1) LAN connection as denoted in Section 2.1.

2.5.1    PHOTOS

The system will have the ability to retrieve existing photos from the
digitized photo image database into the Intelligence subsystem and subsystem
database.

The system will have the ability to scan existing older Mug Shots and
surveillance photos into the database subsystem (see Section 2.3.9).

The system will use a freeze frame video camera to capture photos (see
Section 2.3.2).

Images stored in the ForceField system can be imported into other commercially
available graphics packages for the purposes of photo enhancement. (e.g.,.
Adobe Photoshop-TM- or Aldus Photostyler-TM-).

The system will allow searches by:

           LAST NAME (phonetic or partial)
           TENTATIVE LAST NAME
           SEVERAL LAST NAMES
           CASE NUMBER

The System Administrators will not have the ability to create additional data
elements. Typically changes such as these can be quickly handled by our 24
hour/7 day week support center. This will ensure future compatibility with
upgrades provided to our software.

2.5.2    REPORTS

The system will be installed with a set of standard management reports
indicating usage and access to the system. Further, an advanced 4GL report
writer is part of the system, allowing the Department to modify and develop
new management report formats. The report generator has the ability to store
the ad-hoc search criteria as objects for future reuse.

2.5.3    SEALING/SECURITY

A sealing function is part of the system. In the sealing function, the text
records and images are selectively marked for pointer deletion, preventing
access to the information or image. If a record is to be purged (which is
different than sealing), text information is deleted and all pointers removed
to prevent access to the information or image.

2.5.4    SCANNING OF PHOTOS/NEGATIVES

To eliminate possible conflict of duplicate photo numbers between systems,
scanned photos/negatives will have a unique identifier capable of interacting
with the photo number in the digitized photo image database (incorporating
sealing procedures) and the scanned photo.

Requester information from the UF90 photo request form will be maintained
both for photo images scanned from existing photos and those created with the
photo image capture hardware. This will enable the routing of the digitized
photo to the requester and with be later used for the tracking of scanned
photos for sealing requirements.

2.5.5    SURVEILLANCE PHOTOS

The scanning subsystem is be able to scan photos and negatives that are
extremely old and of poor quality. The scanning subsystem will be equipped
with a remote control unit (RCU) which will allow the operator to adjust
white balance, gain and iris while the scan is taking place (see SECTION
2.3.9).

To eliminate possible conflict of duplicate photo numbers between systems,
scanned photos/negatives will have a unique identifier capable of interacting
with the photo number in the digitized photo image database (incorporating
sealing procedures) and the scanned photo.

2.5.6    CASE PORTFOLIO

Each case will be allowed a unique Case Number that will be assigned by the
Investigator. If a case is closed/archived the case number will not to be
reassigned.

The system will allow for overlapping investigations involving Organized
Crime, Narcotics, Weapons and Terrorists etceteras, within the Intelligence
Unit.

The case portfolio concept will be portable to other Detective Units and
capable of being adapted to each units specialization.

Access control is implemented on both a machine, operator, and database
basis. An operator control table will list all authorized operators and the
specific functions each individual operator is authorized to perform. The
system will permit an operator at a workstation to perform only those
functions for which both the operator and the workstation are authorized.
Only the System Administrators or supervisory personnel will be able to
access and update the control tables themselves.

2.5.7  FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS

The system will provide automatic alert of gang association changes based
upon arrest information (OLBS) in gang affiliations. These hooks will be
available for future programming.

1.   INTRODUCTION

The Intelligence Subsystem of the Photo Imaging System will be a COTS-based
package which supports the retention of electronic photographs/images and
reference data associated with intelligence information which can include
general intelligence, gangs, organized crime, threats, and other intelligence
sources. The Intelligence Subsystem is based on the COTS Photo Imaging
System, ForceField, which runs in a Unix environment.

The Intelligence Subsystem will support the maintenance of the
photographs/images and associated reference data and will provide ad-hoc
search capabilities against the reference data. The Intelligence Subsystem
will not replace current intelligence systems maintained by the Gang Unit,
Organized Crime Unit, or Threat Unit. Instead the Intelligence Subsystem will
act as a "catalogue" of all intelligence information and will retain the
photographs associated with the intelligence information. The different
intelligence units will provide the reference information along with the
photographs to the unit which maintains the Intelligence Subsystem. That unit
will be responsible for scanning the photographs into the system, analyzing
the reference information, and entering that reference information into the
Intelligence Subsystem. The Intelligence Subsystem will interface with the
Photo Imaging System to obtain existing arrest photographs.

The Seller's approach to developing the detailed specifications for the
Intelligence Subsystem will consist of working with the Department's
personnel to further define the following:

     -    the Concept of Operations and procedures necessary to make optimum
          use of the new Intelligence Subsystem.

     -    the security constraints associated with the intelligence data and
          the method for ensuring that these security constraints are met

     -    database fields associated with the reference data

     -    the data validation rules for each of the database fields

     -    the required user screens for adding, modifying, and deleting
          photographs/images and associated reference data, and for initiating
          ad-hoc searches

     -    the query response formats and print formats

The detailed specifications will be developed during the customization
definition phase, documented in the Intelligence Subsystem Customization
Specifications Document, and reviewed during the Customization Specifications
Review. Before starting the customization definition phase, the Seller will
check with the Buyer for any new system direction, asses the impact, and
provide the Buyer with any assessment of the change.

1.1  BACKGROUND

The current operating NYCPD organization and procedures has separated
intelligence gathering into multiple units: General Intelligence, Gangs,
Organized Crime, Threats, Narcotics, and others. Each of these organizational
units are responsible for analyzing and maintaining their intelligence
information. Each organizational unit has their own automated stand-alone
system for analyzing and maintaining the intelligence information related to
their area and there is no automated correlation/interface between the data
maintained by the different organizational units. For example, general
intelligence may have documents referencing an organized crime figure in
their database, while the Organized Crime Unit may have other information
about that same individual, and the

Enforcement personnel currently must talk to all intelligence units to obtain
all information about the person of interest. In addition, not all of the
systems correlate people, places, and things (vehicles) to their intelligence
information. Having the intelligence information separated into stand-alone
systems makes it difficult and a manually intensive process to correlate
information about people, places, and things (vehicles).

As part of the Seller's requirements analysis, we interviewed three groups of
users, the General Intelligence Unit, the Gang Unit, and the Threat Unit. A
brief description of their procedures and automated systems is provided below:

GENERAL INTELLIGENCE
Various sources of information, such as newspaper articles, field reports,
and investigation notes are submitted to the General Intelligence unit from
different sections of the Department. Intelligence Analysts review the
information and forward approximately 3% of all submitted reports to be
included in the General Intelligence Information system, a stand-alone Dbase
system. Approximately 12,000 pre-existing documents have been added to the
automated system on an annual basis. The intelligence information, in its
various formats, is defined as a "document", and given a unique key, the
accession number. Relevant "people/places" information is extracted from the
"document", along with an abstract and entered into the stand-alone DBase
automated system. This automated system links people and places to the
"document". On a query by person or place, a report is generated pointing to
all documents, via the accession number", that reference that person or
place. The physical "documents" are available for review by authorized
personnel. No copies of these documents are allowed. Documents may be
reviewed at the Intelligence Unit command and notes made.

THREAT UNIT
The Threat Unit handles threats made against police, public/elected
officials, or police and public/city property. (There exists other NYCPD
units to handle different types of threats.) Three information cards are
prepared containing the threat event, threatened person/property, and the
threatener person information. The cards contain raw data in free text
format. The intelligence officer enters the data into the automated system
from the cards. The automated system contains on the order of 200+ fields of
information in the database. The relevant data is extracted as part of the
data entry process. A PSM Number is generated and entered onto the cards.
Pictures of the threatener are filed along with the cards. Bulletins are
prepared and distributed to appropriate personnel.

GANG UNIT
The Gang unit handles gangs and gang member information. Basic gang
information is entered into a gang tracking system written in Smart. This
information includes gang names and profiles, gang member information
including descriptor information and a brief criminal history of the gang
member, and abstract/activity information about the whereabouts and
miscellaneous facts. A new gang tracking system has been developed in FoxPro
and is about to go operational.

1.2  CONCEPT OF OPERATION FOR INTELLIGENCE SUBSYSTEM

The new Intelligence Subsystem will not replace the current systems
maintained by the different intelligence units. Instead it will provide a
central repository for intelligence photographs, reference data about the
intelligence information, and the ability to cross-reference and correlate
the reference data. This will provide the Department with the

capability to integrate and cross-reference all intelligence information. An
authorized analyst can query the system and get pointers to all intelligence
information about a given person, address, or vehicle. The Intelligence
Subsystem will be capable of holding reference data for general intelligence
information ("documents"), gang information, organized crime information, and
threats. The Department's procedures and policies will determine (1) how much
of this capability will be used, (2) what intelligence information will be
referenced in the new system, and (3) what reference data is entered into the
system. The Intelligence Subsystem will implement security rules based on
workstation ID, User ID and database so that the sensitivity and security of
the data is protected.

The new Intelligence Subsystem will be centrally located and will be
maintained by a single NYCPD organizational unit. This unit will be
responsible for entering the reference data and photographs into the
Intelligence Subsystem and querying the system on behalf of other
organizations. It is also possible, at the discretion of the Department, that
the queries can be initiated from other ForceField Display-only workstations.
The security constraints implemented for the Intelligence Subsystem will
allow the Department to protect the data based on User ID, workstation ID,
and database.

Other intelligence units will send the photographs and associated reference
information to the unit maintaining the Intelligence Subsystem. The reference
information will include key information about persons, places
(address/premise), and vehicles associated with that intelligence
information. The analysts at the unit maintaining the Intelligence Subsystem
will scan the photographs, analyze the reference data provided to create the
appropriate links, and enter the photographs, reference data, and links into
the Intelligence Subsystem. Upon request, the central unit personnel will
query the system to obtain a pointer to all intelligence information on a
given person, place, or vehicle. The results of the query can include
hardcopy photographs, a listing of all intelligence reports and corresponding
reference data based on the search criteria, and pointers to the source unit
of the data. If the requesting unit personnel needs more detailed
information, then he/she would contact the original source unit of the
intelligence information (i.e., Gang unit, Threat unit, etc.).

In order to maximize the usefulness of the cross-referencing capability, it
is recommended that indices/reference data to all intelligence information be
channeled through this Intelligence Subsystem. To achieve the integration of
all such reference data into the Intelligence Subsystem, a Common Data Format
for the data input is proposed. This would also provide for inclusion of
other intelligence information from other systems in the future that the
Department may want to have cross-referenced in the Intelligence Subsystem.
The Common Data Format (for electronic submission) and the associated
hardcopy forms (for manual data entry) will be developed jointly with the
Department during the customization definition phase and documented in the
Intel Subsystem Customization Specification document.

2.   HIGH-LEVEL OVERVIEW

EXHIBIT 2-1 illustrates the external interfaces and manual user interfaces
required to support the Intelligence Subsystem. Reference data from different
intelligence sources will be entered into the Intelligence Subsystem and
associated photographs/images will be linked to that reference data.
Electronic photographs from the Photo Imaging System can be downloaded to the
Intelligence Subsystem. Paper photographs from different sources can be
scanned and associated with the intelligence reference data.

EXHIBIT 2-2 illustrates the logical data relationships between an
intelligence base record and "persons", "locations", and "vehicles" in the
Intelligence Subsystem. A Base Intel Record can be associated with multiple
"Person" records, "Location" records, and "Vehicle" records. A given
"person", "location", or "vehicle" record can be linked to one or more Base
Intel Records. An example of the type of reference data retained for person,
location, and vehicles is provided in EXHIBIT 2-2. There are four different
types of Base Intel Records corresponding to the four sources of intelligence
information: (1) "Document", (2) Gang, (3) Threats, and (4) Organized Crime.
The data contained in the Base Intel Record will vary depending on the type
of intelligence information. Person, location, and vehicle reference data
fields will be the same regardless of what type of Base Intel Record it is
linked to. EXHIBITS 2-3 through 2-6 illustrates how this architecture
supports each of the different types of intelligence data. Note, that a given
Person, Location, or Vehicle record can be associated with all four types of
intelligence information. This cross-referencing of intelligence information
across the different intelligence sources will provide a new capability that
the Department does not currently have.

The specifications for the Intelligence Subsystem has been separated into 8
functional areas:

  -  Base Intel Record File Maintenance
  -  Person File Maintenance
  -  Location File Maintenance
  -  Vehicle File Maintenance
  -  External Interface
  -  Data Validation
  -  Queries
  -  Response and Print Formats

The high-level requirements for each of these functional areas are described
in the following sections of this document. These high-level requirements will
be used as the starting point (i.e., baseline) for the customization
definition phase.

3.   BASE INTEL RECORD FILE MAINTENANCE

The Intelligence Subsystem will support the creation, deletion, and
modification of the Base Intel Record associated with each of the
intelligence's sources. A Base Intel Record can have one or more electronic
photographs and can be linked to multiple person records, location records,
and vehicle records.

There will be four types of Base Intel Records which correspond to the four
different sources of information: (1) General Intelligence, (2) Gangs, (3)
Threats, and (4) Organized Crime.

The fields currently envisioned for the Base Intel Record are as follows:
     Base Intel Record ID (unique key to Base Intel Record)
     Type of Base Intel Record (i.e., General, Gang, Threat, Organized Crime
                                      Family)
     Source Unit's Unique Number (i.e., Accession Number, Gang Name, PSM,
                                      Crime Family Name)
     Date of Entry

7.   External Interfaces

External interfaces will exist to the Photo Imaging System and the Sealing
System. The External Interface function will initiate the Data Validation
function (see Section 8) to verify that the data received through the
external interface is valid. Any transaction which does not conform to the
data validation rules will be written to an exception file. Each of these
external interfaces are described in the following subsections.

7.1  Interface to the Photo Imaging System

The interface between the Photo Imaging System and the Intelligence Subsystem
provides for the transfer of arrest mugshots from the Photo Imaging System to
the Intelligence Subsystem. The Seller is responsible for the definition and
implementation of this interface. The transaction protocols and
content/format will be defined in the Interface Control Document (ICD).

7.2  Interface to the Sealing System

The interface between the Sealing System and the Intelligence Subsystem will
provide for (1) the notification of a seal/unseal event from the Sealing
System, and (2) the transfer of UF90 data (photograph dissemination audit
data) from the Intelligence Subsystem to the Sealing System. The Seller is
responsible for participating in the definition of this interface. The
transaction protocols and content/format will be defined in the Interface
Control Document (ICD). The Seller is responsible for implementing the
interface for the Intelligence Subsystem. The Buyer is responsible for
implementing the interface for the Sealing System.

8.   Data Validation

Data validation will be done for both screen inputs and data received over
external interfaces. Data Validation includes validation of a request based
on the user's authorization and field validation of the fields within the
request (i.e., ensure that field values are legal).

9.   Queries

The Intelligence Subsystem will support queries against the descriptor data
associated with the "Person", "Location", and "Vehicle" records. The queries
will return matching people,

locations, and vehicles based on the search criteria. In addition, the
Intelligence Subsystem will provide the capability to query the link
information. For example, a user can request a list of all Base Intel Records
associated with a given person, location, or vehicle.

10.  Response and Print Formats

The Intelligence Subsystem will provide responses (screen or hardcopy) to (1)
the queries against the descriptor data associated with the "Person",
"Location", and "Vehicle" records, and (2) the queries against the link
information. These responses will include the photos of entities matching the
search criteria.

11.  Migration Strategy

The Common Data Format can be used by the Department to upload pre-existing
data into the Intelligence Subsystem. There are no plans for the Seller to
convert the pre-existing data from the various current intelligence systems
for the Intelligence Subsystem.

2.6       MISSING PERSONS SUBSYSTEM

The Missing Persons Subsystem will function in a similar manner to the
previously described Intelligence subsystem.  The purpose of this module is
to find Missing Persons and identify Dead On Arrival (DOAs).  The module will
be capable of additionally retrieving centrally stored electronic mug shot
images and storing them on a separate database with protected access.  The
Missing Persons Subsystem Requirements document provides a more detailed
functional description of the Missing Persons Subsystem.

The following equipment will be supplied as part of the Missing Persons
Module:

          One (1) video/freeze-frame capture station (camera) for DOAs: Canon
          RC-570 Still Video Cameras as described in SECTION 2.3.2.

          One (1) scanning device: Hitachi HV-C20 3-chip camera mounted on a
          Kaiser copy stand described in SECTION 2.3.9.

          One (1) capture workstation as described in SECTION 2.3.7.

          One (1) display workstation as described in SECTION 2.3.8.

          One (1) color printer as described in SECTION 2.3.3.

          One (1) LAN connection as denoted in SECTION 2.1.

2.6.1     SEALING/SECURITY

The sealing process is not applicable to this subsystem.

2.6.2     SCANNING OF PHOTOS/NEGATIVES

To eliminate possible conflict of duplicate photo numbers between systems,
scanned photos/negatives will have a unique identifier capable of interacting
with the photo number in the digitized photo image database and the scanned
photo.

Requester information will be maintained both for photo images scanned from
existing photos and those created with the photo image capture hardware.

2.7       WARRANT, DOCUMENT AND PHOTO IMAGE

- -  RESIZING OF WARRANT IMAGE.  The Warrant photo images can be enlarged to
   the full printable area of the print media.

- -  COMPRESSION TECHNOLOGY.  Advanced techniques, based on the JPEG (Joint
   Photography Experts Group) compression standards, are used to reduce the
   image storage and transmission needs.  Compression ratios of 10:1 to 15:1
   ensure the image can be reconstructed with no degradation visible to the
   human eye.  It is the our intent to be remain compliant with the ANSI X3L2.8
   compression standards.  Given the size of the CAL-PHOTO mug images of
   400,000 bytes uncompressed, a compression ratio of 15:1 may be used to yield
   a compressed image size of 25,000 bytes.

1.        INTRODUCTION

The Missing Persons Subsystem of the Photo Imaging System will be a
COTS-based package which supports the retention of electronic photographs and
alpha-numeric data associated with missing persons, unidentified persons
(unidentified DOA and amnesia victims), and body-parts.  The Missing Persons
subsystem is based on the COTS Photo Imaging System, ForceField, which runs
in a Unix environment.

The Missing Persons Subsystem will support the maintenance of the photographs
and associated descriptor data and will provide ad-hoc search capabilities
against the descriptor data retained for missing persons, unidentified
persons (unidentified DOA and Amnesia Victims), and body-parts. The Missing
Persons Subsystem will interface with the existing Missing Persons Case
Management system which is/will be a mainframe-based, CICS, COBOL II, and DB2
application. The DB2 Missing Persons Case Management System will be the
source of the descriptor and case management data and will provide a subset
of that data to the Missing Persons System.

The Seller's approach to developing the detailed specifications will consist
of working with the Buyer to further define the following:

     -  database fields associated with missing persons, unidentified persons,
        and body-parts

     -  the data validation rules for each of the database fields

     -  the required user screens for adding and deleting photographs/images
        and for initiating ad-hoc searches

     -  the query response formats and print formats

     -  the detailed interface specifications between the Missing Persons
        Subsystem and the existing DB2 Missing Persons Case Management System

The detailed specifications will be developed during the customization
definition phase, documented in the Missing Persons Subsystem Customization
Specifications Document, and reviewed during the Customization Specifications
Review.

2.  HIGH-LEVEL OVERVIEW

EXHIBIT 2-1 illustrates the external interfaces and manual user interfaces
required to support the Missing Persons Subsystem. Descriptor data will be
exchanged between the existing DB2 Missing Persons Case Management System and
the Missing Persons Subsystem. Electronic photographs from the Mugshot System
can be downloaded to the Missing Persons Subsystem. Paper photographs from
different sources can be scanned and associated with "missing persons",
"unidentified persons", or "body-parts".

EXHIBIT 2-2 illustrates the logical relationship between "missing persons",
"unidentified persons", and "body-parts" in the Missing Persons Subsystem. A
body-part can be a subset of the whole body (ie.: finger, hand, arm, etc.) or
the whole body. An "unidentified person" will consist of one or more
"body-parts". A "solved case" consists of a link between a "missing person"
entity and/or an "unidentified person" entity. In other words, a "missing
person" was matched with an "unidentified person", or a "missing person" case
was solved without a matching "unidentified person", or an "unidentified
person" case was solved without a matching "missing person".

                          MISSING PERSONS SUBSYSTEM

The specifications for the Missing Persons Subsystem has been separated into
8 functional areas:

     -    Missing Persons File Maintenance
     -    Unidentified Persons File Maintenance
     -    Body-Parts File Maintenance
     -    Case Management File Maintenance
     -    External Interface
     -    Data Validation
     -    Queries
     -    Response and Print Formats

The high-level requirements for each of these functional areas are described
in the following sections of this document. These high-level requirements
will be used as the starting point (i.e., baseline) for the customization
definition phase.

3.        MISSING PERSONS FILE MAINTENANCE

The Missing Persons Subsystem will support the creation, deletion, and
modification of the basic person data associated with a "missing person". A
Missing Person can have one or more electronic photographs. For each
photograph, there can be descriptor data associated with that photograph
("Appearance Data"). The Missing Persons Subsystem will support the creation,
deletion, and modification of the "missing person" photograph(s) and
associated Appearance Data. The data-entry of the Person and Appearance
descriptor data will occur on the DB2 Missing Persons Case Management System.
This data will be downloaded to the Missing Persons System and associated
with the images retained by that system using the Missing Persons Case Number.
The Photo ID's for that missing person will be uploaded to the DB2 Missing
Persons Case Management System.

The fields currently envisioned for the Missing Persons "Person Data" are as
follows:
          Missing Persons Case Number
          Name - last, first, middle, suffix
          Aliases - last, first, middle, suffix
          DOB
          Age
          Race
          Sex
          Origin
          Scars/marks/tattoos
          Other descriptor fields (to be defined during customization phase)

The fields currently envisioned for the Appearance Data (there is one
Appearance Data for each photograph) are as follows:
          Photograph Number
          Descriptor fields (to be defined during customization phase)

                          MISSING PERSONS SUBSYSTEM

4.        UNIDENTIFIED PERSONS FILE MAINTENANCE

The Missing Persons Subsystem will support the creation, deletion, and
modification of the basic person data and photographs(s) associated with an
"unidentified person" (unidentified DOA, amnesia victim, or composite person
from one or more body-parts). An Unidentified Person can have one or more
electronic photographs. The data-entry of the Unidentified Person descriptor
data will occur on the DB2 Missing Persons Case Management System. This data
will be downloaded to the Missing Persons System and associated with the
images retained by that system using the Unidentified Persons Case Number.
The Photo ID's for that unidentified person will be uploaded to the DB2
Missing Persons Case Management System.

The fields currently envisioned for the "Unidentified" Person Data are as
follows:
          Unidentified Person Case Number
          DOB
          Age
          Race
          Sex
          Height
          Weight
          Hair
          Eye
          Origin
          Scars/marks/tattoos
          Other descriptor fields (to be defined during customization phase)

5.        BODY-PARTS FILE MAINTENANCE

The Missing Persons Subsystem will support the creation, deletion, and
modification of the descriptor data and photograph(s) associated with a
"body-part".  A body-part can have one or more electronic photographs.  The
data-entry of the body-parts descriptor data will occur on the DB2 Missing
Persons Case Management System.  This data will be downloaded to the Missing
Persons System and associated with the images retained by that system using the
Body-parts Case Number.  The Photo ID's for that body-part will be uploaded
to the DB2 Missing Persons Case Management System.

The fields associated with each type of body-part will vary depending on the
type of body-part.  The fields associated with each type of body-part will be
defined during the requirements definition phase and will be documented in
the Customization Specifications Document.

6.        SOLVED CASES FILE MANAGEMENT

The Missing Persons Subsystem will provide the capability to create an
"Unidentified Person" entity by linking multiple body-parts together and
creating a composite "person" description.  The Missing Persons Subsystem
will provide the capability to create" a "solved case" by (1) linking a
"Missing Person" entity to an "Unidentified Person" entity, (2) marking a
Missing Person Case as solved (without a matching "unidentified person"), or
(3) marking an Unidentified Person Case as solved (without a matching
"missing person").

7.        EXTERNAL INTERFACES

External interfaces will exist to the DB2 Missing Persons Case Management
System and the Mugshot System.  The External Interface function will initiate
the Data Validation function (see Section 8) to verify that the data received
through the external interface is valid.  Any transaction which does not
conform to the data validation rules will be written to an exception file.
Each of these external interfaces are described in the following subsections.

7.1       INTERFACE TO DB2 MISSING PERSONS CASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The interface between the DB2 Missing Persons Case Management System and the
Missing Persons System will provide for (1) the transfer of descriptor data
associated with missing persons, unidentified persons, and body-parts from
the DB2 Missing Persons Case Management System to the Missing Persons System;
(2) the transfer of Photo IDs from the Missing Persons System to the DB2
Missing Persons Case Management System, and (3) the transfer of case
resolution information from the DB2 Missing Persons Case Management System to
the Missing Persons System.

The DB2 Missing Persons Case Management System will send the following
transactions to the Missing Persons System.

      -  Missing Person File Maintenance Transaction
      -  Unidentified Person File Maintenance Transaction
      -  Body-parts File Maintenance Transaction
      -  Solved Case File Maintenance Transaction

The Missing Persons System will send the following transactions to the DB2
Missing Persons Case Management System.

      -  Link-Photo-IDs-to-Case Transaction

The Department is responsible for modifying the DB2 Missing Persons Case
Management system to send/receive these transactions.  The transaction
protocol and transaction format/content will be defined in the Interface
Control Document (ICD) which will be jointly developed by the Buyer and the
Seller.

7.2       INTERFACE TO MUGSHOT SYSTEM

The interface between the Mugshot System and the Missing Persons System
provides for the transfer of arrest mugshots from the Mugshot System to the
Missing Persons System.  The Seller is responsible for the definition and
implementation of this interface.  The transaction protocols and
content/format will be defined in the Interface Control Document (ICD).

8.        DATA VALIDATION

Data validation will be done for both screen inputs and data received over
external interfaces.  Data Validation includes validation of a request based
on the user's

authorization and field validation of the fields within the request (i.e.,
ensure that field values are legal).

9.        QUERIES

The Missing Persons Subsystem will support queries against the descriptor
data associated with the "Missing Persons", "Unidentified Persons", and
"Body-parts" database.

10.       RESPONSE AND PRINT FORMATS

The Missing Persons Subsystem will provide responses (screen or hardcopy) to
the queries against the descriptor data associated with the "Missing
Persons", "Unidentified Persons", and "Body-parts" database.  These responses
will include the photos of entities matching that query criteria.

11.       MIGRATION STRATEGY

There are no plans to convert pre-existing data for the Missing Persons
Subsystem.  The data and photographs will be entered into the Missing Persons
Subsystem on a day-one-forward basis.

                                Attachment 1
                  FEDERAL INTERFACE SUBSYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS


1.        INTRODUCTION

The Federal Interface Subsystem will be a new external interface to the U.S.
Attorney's photo system.  The purpose of the Federal Interface Subsystem is
to exchange electronic photos and related data between the U.S. Attorney's
system and the Department's Photo Imaging System.  The electronic photographs
and related data already stored on the U.S. Attorney's System will be
pre-loaded onto the Department's Photo Imaging System.  Any new NYCPD
bookings will be done on the Department's Photo Imaging System and the
electronic photos and data transmitted to the U.S. Attorney's System.  In
addition, to quickly field this capability, so that the Department can
immediately take advantage of the new technology and continue to exchange
photos and related data with the U.S. Attorney's System, a subset of the
Photo Imaging System capabilities will be deployed early as part of the
Federal Interface Subsystem.

The Contractor will work with the Department to define the needed screens,
print formats, and external interfaces required to support the Federal
Interface Subsystem capabilities.  This includes the following:

      -  database fields associated with the booking data
      -  the data validation rules for each of the database fields
      -  the required user screens for adding, modifying, and deleting
         photographs/images and associated booking data
      -  the required print formats needed to support current procedures
      -  the interface to the OLBS

The Contractor will work with the U.S. Attorney's Office to define the
interface between the Department's Photo Imaging System and the U.S.
Attorney's System.  This includes the following:

      -  sending electronic photographs and related data from NYCPD bookings
         to the U.S. Attorney's system
      -  receiving electronic photographs and related data from federal
         sources from the U.S. Attorney's system
      -  sending sealing notifications to the U.S. Attorney's system

2.       CONCEPT OF OPERATION FOR FEDERAL INTERFACE SUBSYSTEM

The intent of the Federal Interface Subsystem is to start booking NYCPD
arrestees on the Department's new photo imaging system as soon as possible,
and send the electronic photos and related data to the U.S. Attorney's System.

On bringing the arrestee to the booking site, the procedures are as follows:

      -  The arrestee data will be manually entered into the Department's
         On-Line Booking System (OLBS), which will generate the NYCPD Arrest
         Number.

      -  The arrestee will be photographed using the Department's Photo
         Imaging System and booked with the following minimum information:


                         Federal Interface Subsystem: 1             Revision D
<PAGE>


                                Attachment 1
                  FEDERAL INTERFACE SUBSYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS


             - Name
             - NYCPD Arrest Number
             - Minimum Demographic information (TBD)

      -  The Department's Photo Imaging System will print a hardcopy of the
         photo(s) with the NYCPD Arrest Number as a replacement for the
         current photographs which become part of the arrestee's file.

      -  Based on fingerprint verification done as part of the Department's
         standard procedures, a NYSID Number will be generated by DCJS and
         sent to the Department.

      -  Once the NYSID number is available, the Department's Photo Imaging
         System's booking record will then be retrieved using the NYCPD
         Arrest Number, and the NYSID number would be added to the booking
         record.

      -  Based on the NYCPD Arrest Number, the remaining booking data will be
         retrieved from OLBS and added to the Department's Photo Imaging
         System's database.  (Note: if the NYSID number is contained in OLBS,
         then we may not need to do the previous step.)

The Department's Photo Imaging System will send the electronic photo and
related data obtained from booking events to the U.S. Attorney's system.  The
U.S. Attorney's System will send federal photos and related data to the
Department's Photo Imaging System.  This exchange of electronic photos and
related data will occur in a batch mode multiple times in a day.  In
addition, the U.S. Attorney's System will be electronically notified of any
Sealing requests against the Department's Photo Imaging System's database.

3.        HIGH-LEVEL OVERVIEW

EXHIBIT 3-1 illustrates the hardware configuration for the Department's Photo
Imaging System which will be deployed early to support the Federal Interface
Subsystem.  Central Headquarters will have a Sparc 5 with 34 GB RAID, to act
as the central image and data repository.  Capture/Display Stations,
Display-Only Stations, and printers will be deployed to the locations as
shown in Exhibit 3-1.

In support of the Federal Interface Subsystem, a subset of the functional
capabilities of the Department's new Photo Imaging System will be deployed as
soon as possible.  This subset is described in the following sections.

4.       USER INTERFACE

The Department's Photo Imaging System will provide screens for capturing the
photographs, data entering the booking information, requesting hardcopy
outputs, and initiating queries.

                  FEDERAL INTERFACE SUBSYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS


5.       BOOKING FILE MAINTENANCE

The Department's Photo Imaging System will support the creation, deletion,
and modification of the basic person data, the booking data associated with a
"person", the appearance data associated with a booking, and the photographs
associated with an appearance.  A person can have one or more bookings.  A
booking can have one or more appearances.  An appearance can have one or more
types of photographs (front, profile, etc.).

The fields to be retained as the Person Data in the Department's Photo
Imaging System will be determined during the customization definition phase.
Only the minimum number of fields will be data entered into the Department's
Photo Imaging System.  The rest of the fields will be populated via the
interface to OLBS.  The possible fields for the Person Data are as follows:

          Person ID (unique key to person record)
          NYSID
          Other IDs
          Name/AKAs
          DOB
          Race
          Sex
          Scars/marks/tattoos

The fields to be retained as the Booking Data in the Department's Photo
Imaging System will be determined during the customization definition phase.
These fields will be populated via the interface to OLBS.

The fields to be retained as the Appearance Data in the Department's Photo
Imaging System will be determined during the customization phase.  These
fields will be populated via the interface to OLBS where ever possible (i.e.,
OLBS may not retain all of the fields).

6.        DATA VALIDATION

Data validation will be done for the manual data entry.  Data Validation
includes verification of a request based on the user's authorization and
field validation of the fields within the request (i.e., ensure that field
values are legal).

7.        QUERIES

The Department's Photo Imaging System will support, at a minimum, queries
using the ForceField ID, NYSID number, NYCPD Arrest Number, other unique Ids,
and/or name.  In general, the system will allow queries using fields defined
during the customization definition phase.  The queries will return the
matching person(s), booking information, appearance information, and
photographs.

The Department's Photo Imaging System will provide responses (screen or
hardcopy) to support the current procedures for the booking process which
will be determined during the customization definition phase.

9.        EXTERNAL INTERFACES

9.1       OLBS Interface

Based on the NYCPD Arrest Number, the Department's Photo Imaging System via
the Federal Interface Subsystem will retrieve the Person Data, Booking Data,
and any Appearance Data associated with that Arrest Number from OLBS and load
that data into the Federal Interface Subsystem's database.

9.2       Interface to U.S. Attorney's System

The Department's Photo Imaging System via the Federal Interface Subsystem
will accept batch input of both the data and photographs from the U.S.
Attorney's System for initial population. The exact media and format will be
determined as part of the Customization phase and will be mutually agreeable
to both parties.

The Department's Photo Imaging System via the Federal Interface Subsystem
will send new photos and related data to the U.S. Attorney's System. The
Department's Photo Imaging System via the Federal Interface Subsystem will
accept federal photos and related data from the U.S. Attorney's System. This
exchange of data and photographs will occur periodically in a batch mode.

The Department's Photo Imaging System via the Federal Interface Subsystem
will electronically notify the U.S. Attorney's System of any sealing
requests. Because of the low volume of sealing initiated by the U.S.
Attorney's System, the U.S. Attorney's office will manually notify the
Department of sealing requests. These manual notifications will then be data
entered into the Department's Photo Imaging System by Department personnel.

         -  Missing Persons Subsystem

READY-TO-SHIP-REVIEW (RSR) - FUNCTIONAL ACCEPTANCE: A formal review held with
the Buyer and NYCPD at the XImage facilities, after the implementation phase,
to test the functionality of the Photo Imaging Systems (i.e., screens,
database, print formats, and functions) before deployment to the NYCPD's
facilities. The purpose of this acceptance testing is to demonstrate that the
functionality provided (both hardware and software) meets the specifications
as documented in the Customization Specification Document. Deployment will
begin after receipt of written notification from the NYCPD of successful
completion of the Functional Acceptance testing. A separate RSR-Functional
Acceptance will be held for the following Photo Imaging Systems:

         -  Federal Interface Subsystem
         -  Basic Photo Imaging System
         -  Intelligence Subsystem
         -  Missing Persons Subsystem

BLOCK-INSTALLATION TESTING: Installation testing of each block conducted
with the Buyer after the block is installed in NYCPD's facilities. The
purpose of this testing is to ensure that the hardware and software
configuration is compliant with the specifications in Schedule C and that all
components for that block are installed and operational.

BLOCK ACCEPTANCE: Acceptance testing of each block conducted with the Buyer
and NYCPD after the block is installed in NYCPD's facilities. A subset of the
Functional Tests will be conducted against the block to prove that the block
was correctly installed, configured, and operational. The number of blocks
for the each of the Photo Imaging Systems is identified below and the
composition of each of the Basic Photo Imaging System blocks are identified
in Exhibit 1-2.

         -  Federal Interface Subsystem -         1 block
         -  Basic Photo Imaging System -          9 blocks
         -  Intelligence Subsystem -              1 block
         -  Missing Persons Subsystem -           1 block

MODULE ACCEPTANCE: Performance and availability acceptance testing of each
module conducted with the Buyer and NYCPD after all blocks for a module are
deployed. The purpose of this acceptance testing is to demonstrate that the
performance and availability requirements for each module, as defined in
Attachment 5 of this contract, are met. A separate Module Acceptance test
will be held for the following Photo Imaging Systems:

         -  Basic Photo Imaging System

                        PROJECT MILESTONES AND SCHEDULE


3.  SYSTEM INTEGRATION MILESTONES

The overall system integration testing will begin after installation and
acceptance of all of the Photo Imaging System is complete and after the
integration and testing of the Automated DB2 System is complete. The system
integration testing consists of the On-Site System Test and Final System
Acceptance Testing. The Seller is not responsible for conducting these tests
but is responsible for participating in and supporting the overall system
integration testing efforts.

ON-SITE SYSTEM TEST: Informal testing by the Buyer of the integrated system
after module acceptance of all Photo Imaging Systems are complete and after
the installation of the Automated DB2 System software is complete. The
purpose of this testing is to verify that the system performs as expected
prior to start of Final System Acceptance. The On-Site System Test is the
time allocated for the Buyer and Seller to conduct its own testing to verify
that the integrated system is ready for Final System Acceptance.

START FINAL SYSTEM ACCEPTANCE: formal system acceptance testing held with the
NYCPD after On-Site System Test is complete. During the Final System
Acceptance testing the following acceptance tests will be performed:

         - FUNCTIONAL ACCEPTANCE OF AUTOMATED DB2 SYSTEMS - formal acceptance
           testing of the Automated DB2 Systems to verify that the
           functionality provided (i.e., screens, database, print formats,
           and functions) meets the specifications as documented in the
           Software Requirement Specification document.

         -  PERFORMANCE ACCEPTANCE OF AUTOMATED DB2 SYSTEMS - performance and
            availability acceptance testing of the Automated DB2 Systems
            after completion of the Automated DB2 Systems Functional
            Acceptance tests. The purpose of this acceptance testing is to
            demonstrate that the performance and availability requirements
            for the Automated DB2 Systems, as defined in Attachment 5 of this
            contract, are met

         -  FINAL SYSTEM INTEGRATION ACCEPTANCE - system integration tests
            conducted to demonstrate and validate that all components are
            integrated and that all interfaces to external systems are
            functional and meet the interface specifications as documented in
            the Interface Control Document.

END FINAL SYSTEM ACCEPTANCE: successful completion of the Final System
Acceptance testing. After Final System Acceptance is successfully completed,
the Warrant/Want/WOLF database will be converted to the new format for the
last time, and the new Automated DB2 Systems will go operational. (Note: that
the Photo Imaging Systems became operational in Block increments after
successful completion of each Block Acceptance test.)

                 TECHNICAL AND PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

1.     INTRODUCTION

This attachment provides the performance requirements for the Automated DB2
Warrant and Integrated Digitized Photo Imaging System. The performance
requirements include the workload requirements, response-time requirements,
storage requirements, and availability requirements. EXHIBIT 1-1 summarizes
the overall system workload and system parameters as specified in the
Automated DB2 Warrant and Integrated Digitized Photo Imaging System RFP.

2.     PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR PHOTO IMAGING SYSTEM

This section provides the performance requirements for the Photo Imaging
System, including the workload requirements, response-time requirements,
storage requirements, and availability requirements.

2.1    Workload/Response-Time/Storage Capacity Requirements

The expected workload and total number of photos stored for three years for
each borough is shown in EXHIBIT 1-1 and is based on the number of arrests
per borough per year, the percentages of felony and DAT arrests at that
borough, and the average number of photos taken for each felony and DAT
arrest. It is anticipated that DAT arrests will require three (3) photos. It
is anticipated that non-DAT arrests will require five (5). A three (3) year
on-line retention capacity before archiving on off-line storage is the
minimum. This is based upon the present 3 year rotating retention period
presently in use in the borough CATCH Units.

2.1.1  Storage Requirements

The Photo Imaging System shall provide on-line storage and an on-line mirror
copy (or functional equivalent) for 3 years of bookings/arrests based on the
workload. The Photo Imaging System shall support the addition of photos and
booking/arrest data and provide adequate storage for 3-years of photos and
booking/arrest data based on the workload shown in EXHIBIT 1-1. The Photo
Imaging System shall archive the photo after three years on off-line mass
storage devices.

The Photo Imaging System shall support a trigger-level methodology to
institute an orderly documented procedure for increasing storage capacity
without "shutting-down" the system. The Photo Imaging System shall allow for
continued capture of photo images while additional storage is being
allocated/installed.

2.1.2  Workload Requirements

The Photo Imaging System shall support a peak booking/arrest rate of 55
bookings/arrests per hour at the Central Manhattan Booking site (excluding
operator think time and data-entry time) using the workload mix of felony and
DAT arrests and average number of photos per felony and DAT booking/arrest
shown in EXHIBIT 1-1. The SAIC Team recommends three CaptureStations at the
Manhattan booking site to meet both the peak workload (55 booking/arrests per
hour) and availability requirements. The other central booking sites require
2 CaptureStations per site to meet availability requirements. If it is not
possible to place the recommended number of capture stations at each central
booking site because of space constraints or any other factors outside the
control of the SAIC Team, then the peak workload requirement and/or
availability requirements shall be prorated appropriately.

                               Attachment 5 - 2                    Revision C


<PAGE>


                                 ATTACHMENT 5
                    TECHNICAL AND PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS


The Photo Imaging System shall support a peak rate of 3 line-up/witness-mode
searches per hour per precinct with an average of 45 images retrieved and
displayed per search (excluding operator think time and data-entry time). The
Photo Imaging System shall support a peak retrieval rate of an additional 100
images per hour per precinct (excluding operator think time and data-entry
time).

2.1.3   Response-time Requirements

Under the peak workload specified in 2.1.2, the Photo Imaging System shall
display the first set of 6 postage-stamp images from a line-up/witness-mode
search within 30 seconds 50% of the time and within 45 seconds 98% of the
time when the workstation is on the same LAN as the image server without other
NYCPD communications traffic. This response-time assumes that on average 45
images are retrieved and downloaded to the workstation per search request.
Under the peak workload specified in 2.1.2, the Photo Imaging System shall
display the image from a unique-key image retrieval request within 6 seconds
50% of the time and within 8 seconds 98% of the time when the workstation is
on the same LAN as the image server without other NYCPD communications
traffic.

2.2     Availability Requirements

The Photo Imaging System shall be available 24 hours-a day, 7-days-a-week and
shall have an availability of 98% by the end of the first year of operation.
The Photo Imaging System is considered unavailable any time it is not fully
meeting the functional and performance requirements specified using the rules
below:

Availability calculations shall include down-time associated with:

   -   corrective hardware maintenance and software failures (Category 1 and
       Category 2) associated with the Central Server configuration which cause
       all workstations (Capture and Display-only) to not fully meet the
       functional and performance requirements. In the event that only some
       workstations are affected, then the downtime associated with each
       workstation is applied in the availability calculation (see following
       bullets).

                       applied downtime = Total downtime

   -   corrective hardware maintenance and software failures (Category 1 and
       Category 2) which cause any central booking site to not support
       the operational booking/arrest workload up to a maximum of 55
       bookings/arrests per hour at Central Manhattan. The loss of a capture
       station, in and of itself, is not included in the downtime unless it
       prevents the booking site from handling its workload as specified above.
       (Note that this requirement shall be relaxed if the recommended number
       of Capture Stations per central booking site cannot be installed because
       of space constraints or any other factors outside the control of the
       SAIC Team.) The downtime calculation to be used in the event that a
       given booking-site is not meeting requirements is as follows:
         applied downtime = Booking-site downtime/total-number-of-booking-sites

   -   corrective hardware maintenance and software failures (Category 1 and
       Category 2) which cause functionality of a display-only workstation to
       be unavailable using the following calculation (Note: printers are not
       included):
         applied-downtime = WS down-time/total-number-of-WS

                                 MAINTENANCE

1.     INTRODUCTION

This attachment addresses the maintenance provision for the Automated DB2
Warrant and Integrated Digitized Photo Imaging System. The Department has
elected to purchase the 5-year maintenance package at contract award. The
5-year maintenance support package covers normal use of the delivered
hardware and software for its intended purpose. Any repairs outside of this
scope will be an additional charge.

2.     OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE SUPPORT

The Seller's operations and maintenance support plan includes both one
full-time on-site NYCPD-dedicated employee and access to a 24-by-7 Help Desk.
Exhibit 2-1 illustrates the operations and maintenance support procedures for
handling user problems. The on-site NYCPD-dedicated employee is the front
line support for the Seller. The on-site NYCPD-dedicated employee will
interface with the System Administrators to analyze user problems and, in the
event that he/she cannot resolve the problem, interface with a 24-by-7 Help
Desk. In the event that the on-site NYCPD-dedicated employee is not
available, the System Administrator(s) designated by the Department will
interface with the Help Desk.

The Department is responsible for designating System Administrators who will
be trained by the Seller to manage and trouble-shoot the system (see Training
for detailed information about the training plan for System Administrators).
It should be noted that, in most cases, the role of System Administrator is
not a full-time activity and that the personnel designated as the System
Administrators may have other duties. The Seller is prepared to train up to
18 personnel as System Administrators to cover the central headquarters'
system, central booking sites, and precincts. This represents approximately
three (3) trained System Administrators for each borough and three (3)
trained System Administrators for the central site server configuration.

2.1    PROBLEM REPORTING PROCEDURE


Both hardware and software problems will use the same reporting procedure. As
depicted in Exhibit 2-1, the employee of the Department who experiences
problems will notify a Department employee designated as the System
Administrator. The System Administrator may be able to resolve the problem by
reviewing the troubleshooting guide. If the System Administrator cannot
resolve the problem, then the System Administrator will notify the on-site
NYCPD-dedicated employee of the problem. If the on-site NYCPD-dedicated
employee is unavailable, then the 24-by-7 Help-Line is contacted by the
System Administrator.

The Help-Line will consist of an 800-prefix telephone number. The Help Desk
respondent will either solve the problem or take down the information and
contact the appropriate Seller's response group depending on the time of day
and situation.

The Department's employee that placed the call will be called back and the
problem diagnosed and solved as quickly as possible. The problem will be
logged with an incident number. The incident number registers important data
about the severity of the call and the registration process consolidates the
name, location, and description of the problem reported to the Seller. A
periodic report on all incidents will be reviewed by the Seller and the
System Administrator to reduce problems and to identify undesirable trends in
system performance or use.

                                 MAINTENANCE

2.2     PROBLEM RESPONSE PROCEDURE

Following the receipt of a phone call to the Help Desk, the Seller's support
team member will respond by remotely logging on to the system and reviewing
the diagnostic/error log. From this initial review, a determination of the
cause of the problem will be made: i.e., hardware or software failure. As
shown in EXHIBIT 2-1, the Help Desk will initiate different procedures based
on this initial review of the problem. In the event that the problem is due
to a hardware failure, the on-site NYCPD-dedicated employee would be
responsible for going to the site and swapping out the failed hardware item
or coordinating the swap-out with pre-arranged contract service providers. It
is the Seller's responsibility to coordinate and manage the services of the
contract service providers and to coordinate this with the Department's
System Administrator. Spare hardware will be maintained in the Department's
facilities by the on-site NYCPD-dedicated employee. The contract service
providers will require access to the Department's spares.

In the event that the problem is a software error, the Seller will use the
remote log-in capability to further diagnose the problem and determine the
correction or work-around. The work-around and/or correction will be
downloaded via modem to the system after test and check-out.

2.3     RESPONSE TIME REQUIREMENTS AND CRITICAL EVENT DETERMINATION

The Seller's support requirement designates a two-hour response time limit.
This requires that the Seller respond to the problem during that period, but
does not mean that all of the problems can be completely solved in that time
period. It is important to note that the system architecture, as designed by
the Seller, is intended to be redundant and, as such, critical events that
restrict/prevent normal operations should be extremely limited. The central
server configuration includes dual system servers with automatic failover and
RAID technology for high-availability magnetic storage.

The Seller will respond as rapidly as possible to re-establish all operations
to normal. In the event of a hardware failure, a spare will be readily
available for the on-site NYCPD-dedicated employee or contract service
provider to use for swap-out, and the failed piece will not impair normal
operations due to the built-in redundancy of critical components of the
system (especially at the server and capture sites). For software problems, a
critical barrier to functioning is extremely rare and would be responded to
by all of the Seller's staff on an emergency basis. The typical software
problem is quickly solved by a work-around which can be developed within
hours and the lost time of operation is very short. The Seller will then
develop a strategic plan to solve the problem for the long term and implement
it following testing/simulation. The fix will then be downloaded by modem to
the Department's system.

2.4     MAINTENANCE SUPPORT FOR FEDERAL INTERFACE SUBSYSTEM

During operation of the Federal Interface Subsystem, which consists of six
(6) stand-alone capture sites, the Seller will provide the same level of
operations and maintenance support described above, except for the on-site
NYCPD-dedicated employee. This means that the designated System
Administrator(s) will interface with the Help Desk directly to resolve
problems that he/she cannot resolve.

                             ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

1.     INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this attachment is to define the completion criteria for
deliverable documents, engineering reviews, and acceptance testing for the
Automated DB2 Warrant and Integrated Digitized Photo Imaging System.

Section 2 defines the completion criteria for Deliverable Documents. Section
3 defines the completion criteria for Engineering Reviews, and Section 4
defines the completion criteria for Acceptance Testing.

2.     DOCUMENT DELIVERABLE COMPLETION CRITERIA

This completion criteria applies to all deliverable documents for both the
Photo Imaging Systems and the DB2 Systems. The criteria for completion of the
document deliverables is as follows:

       - The Seller will develop the documents in accordance with
         Attachment 3 of this contract (estimated number of pages, content,
         etc.).

       - The Buyer has 3 weeks from the date of receipt to review the draft
         document and make written comments which will be sent to the
         Seller's contracts manager.

         documented in writing by the Seller.

       - The Buyer will approve in writing the final documents within
         two weeks of receipt by the Buyer's contract manager. This
         constitutes the baseline for continuance of the next phase of
         development/integration.

3.     ENGINEERING REVIEW MILESTONE COMPLETION

This completion criteria applies to the engineering review milestones for the
Photo Imaging Systems.

The criteria for completion of all of the engineering reviews are as follows:

       - All required documents associated with the milestones, as
         specified in the SOW, are drafted or revised based on comments
         received by the Seller prior to or during the review conduct (see
         Section 2 Document Deliverables acceptance above).

       - Milestone Review conducted in accordance with the review criteria
         specified in the SOW. Action items shall be reviewed and agreed
         upon before the review meeting concludes.

       - Milestone Review Minutes delivered by the Seller - The review
         minutes shall include issues and agreed upon action items.

       - All issues identified during the review have either been resolved
         or a plan of correction and due dates have been developed,
         documented by the Seller, and accepted by the Buyer.

       - The Buyer will approve the final minutes in writing within
         1 week of receipt by the Buyer's contract manager - this constitutes
         approval for continuance of the next phase of
         development/integration.

3.1    CUSTOMIZATION DEMONSTRATION COMPLETION

       - All problems identified during the review have either been resolved
         or a plan of correction and due dates has been developed, documented
         by the Seller, and accepted by the Buyer.

4.     ACCEPTANCE TESTING COMPLETION

Because of the nature of this program and the difference in time of
deployment and operations between the different components of this system,
the Acceptance Testing has been separated into three main areas: (1) the
Photo Imaging Systems, (2) DB2 Systems, and (3) Final System Acceptance. The
purpose and content for each of the Acceptance Tests is summarized in Exhibit
4-1 and described in the following sections.

The Seller is responsible for conducting the Acceptance Testing for the Photo
Imaging Systems, as defined in Section 4.1. The Seller is responsible for
supporting and participating in the Final System Acceptance Test, as defined
in Section 4.2.

4.1    ACCEPTANCE TESTING - PHOTO IMAGING SYSTEMS

Because of the early start of deployment and the incremental deployment
schedule, the acceptance testing for the Photo Imaging Systems will consist
of three distinct elements: (1) Functional Acceptance Testing, (2) Block
Acceptance Testing, and (3) Module Acceptance Testing. The purpose and
scheduling of each acceptance testing element of the Photo Imaging Systems is
summarized in Exhibit 4.1 and described below:

     -    FUNCTIONAL ACCEPTANCE - tests functionality of system (screens,
          database, print formats, and functions) and is conducted at the
          Ready-to-Ship Review (RSR) (see Section 4.1.1).

     -    BLOCK INSTALLATION ACCEPTANCE - Operational Acceptance of each
          block as they are deployed to ensure that the components were
          correctly installed and operational (see Section 4.1.2).

     -    MODULE ACCEPTANCE - Performance and
          Reliability/Maintainability/Availability Acceptance testing of each
          module (i.e.: Basic, Intelligence, Missing Persons) after all
          blocks for a module are deployed (see Section 4.1.3).

The general criteria for completion/acceptance for all acceptance testing is:

     -    All required documents associated with the milestones, as specified
          in the SOW, are completed and revised based on comments (see
          Section 2 Document Deliverables acceptance above), and signed off
          by the Buyer's contract manager.

     -    Successful execution of acceptance tests (functional, block,
          module, and system level) as defined in the applicable
          Customization Specification Document. (Note: that software "bugs"
          encountered during acceptance testing does not necessarily
          constitute failure. Acceptance Test will be considered successful,
          if the software failure has been corrected and demonstrated to the
          Buyer or a Plan of Correction has been developed, documented by the
          Seller, and accepted by the Buyer.)

Guidelines for execution of each type of acceptance testing is provided in
the following subsections.

4.1.1     Functional Acceptance Testing - Photo Imaging Systems

The purpose of this acceptance testing is to demonstrate that the
functionality provided meets the specifications (screens, print formats,
database, and operational capabilities such as capture, retrieval, display,
line-ups, witness-mode, printing, etc.) as documented in the Customization
Specifications Document. Functional Acceptance Testing will be conducted at
the Ready-to-Ship Review (RSR) at the Seller's facilities, will be witnessed
by the Buyer and NYCPD, and requires the Buyer's formal acceptance by the
Buyer's contract manager before considered complete. The Buyer will not
consider Functional Acceptance complete until the Buyer receives formal
written acceptance from NYCPD. Deployment of the system to the NYCPD
facilities will not begin until the Buyer receives Functional Acceptance from
NYCPD.

The test procedures and test cases for Basic, Intelligence, and Missing
Persons will be documented in the applicable Customization Specification
Document and will meet these general guidelines:

     -    Hardware Configuration Checklist (hardware compliant with
          specifications as identified in Schedule C of this contract)
     -    COTS Software Configuration Checklist (software compliant with
          specifications as identified in Schedule C of this contract)
     -    General guidelines for Functional Acceptance Testing to be
          conducted at RSR

               formats

4.1.2     Block Acceptance - Photo Imaging Systems

After installing each block of the Basic Photo Imaging System in NYCPD
facilities, a subset of the functional acceptance tests will be conducted

                             TRAINING

1.      INTRODUCTION

This attachment describes the training plan for the Automated DB2 Warrant and
Integrated Digitized Photo Imaging System. Section 2 describes the training
plan for the Photo Imaging System.

2.      TRAINING FOR THE PHOTO IMAGING SYSTEM

The Seller will provide instruction on the operation of the imaging
equipment, computer terminal and printers, the use of the computer software
to input the individual images and booking data, and retrieval of images
based on search criteria. Written materials concerning the use of the Photo
Imaging System's software and equipment will be provided. The Seller will
provide one copy of the User Documentation per workstation and one copy of the
full set of documentation for each of the System Administrators.
Additionally, a right to copy license and a master copy will be provided, on
request, to allow the Department to generate copies for internal use.

The Seller's Training Program for the Photo Imaging System addresses three
types of training: (1) Formal Classroom Training for System Administrators
and End-Users, (2) On-the-Job Training, and (3) Post Installation Training.
The Seller's Training Program for the Photo Imaging System is described in
the following sections.

2.1     FORMAL CLASSROOM TRAINING

The Seller will provide formal classroom training for both the End-User and
System Administrator personnel for the operation of all system hardware and
the ForceField software. After completion of the formal classroom training,
the trainees will receive a certificate verifying successful completion and
readiness to perform their role. The End-User Classroom Training will include
formal instructions on workstation operation, data entry and inquiries,
camera and lighting operation, and system support. The System Administrator
Classroom Training will include formal instruction in functional operations
so that they can support the end-users, and formal instruction on system
operations so that they can maintain the system (e.g., managing the central
site servers, database backup and recovery procedures, database integrity,
audit procedures, and defining and executing management reports). It is
expected that the personnel from the Department responsible for training
(supervisory or training staff) will take an active role in developing the
Formal Classroom Training curriculum.

2.1.1   System Administrator Classroom Training

The System Administrator's Classroom Training for the Photo Imaging System
consists of formal instruction for two types of system administrator, as
identified below:

        1) System Administrator - Level 1: responsible for providing support
           for the end-users, answer operational question, local
           trouble-shooting, and filter operator-induced problems from system
           problems.

        2) System Administrator - Level 2: responsible for managing the
           central site configuration, executing database backup and recovery,
           monitoring database integrity, system audits, and defining and
           executing special management reports.

The Seller will provide formal classroom instruction for the designated System

                             TRAINING

Administrators of the Photo Imaging System at XImage's facilities in San
Jose, CA, before the installation of the ForceField system. This one-time
training session will be conducted over a one-week time-span and will
accommodate up to 18 trainees. The Seller's Training plan for the System
Administrators of the Photo Imaging System includes three days of Level 1
training and two additional days of Level 2 training. The Seller recommends
that all System Administrators of the Photo Imaging System take the Level 1
training and the the System Administrator - Level 2 personnel receive 2-days
of additional training for managing the central site. All designated System
Administrators of the Photo Imaging System can take the full 1-week course,
at the discretion of the Department. The System Administrator course for the
Photo Imaging System is included as part of the contract, but travel and
expense costs for the Department's employees are the responsibility of the
Department.

2.1.2   End-User Classroom Training

After System Administrator training for the Photo Imaging System and
installation of the Central Site configuration, end-user training for the
Photo Imaging System will commence. End-User Classroom Training for the Photo
Imaging System consists of formal instruction for three types of end-users.
The training class sessions will be segregated so that they can be tailored
for each type of end-user, as identified below:

        1) Booking/Capture - responsible for capturing photographs and
           associated booking information during the booking procedure

        2) Investigative - responsible for initiating witness-mode searches,
           general searches, and creating line-ups

        3) Records Management - responsible for maintaining the data and
           images contained in the database

In the case of the Department, two alternative approaches to End-User
Training for the Photo Imaging System have been considered: (1) a centralized
approach where a central training center is set up for the initial training,
and (2) a decentralized approach where initial training is conducted at each
of the sites (precincts and booking sites).

The centralized approach would include the set-up of a central training
center at one of the Department's locations (a central location such as
Manhattan) with necessary equipment for hands-on-training (ImageStations,
printers, etc.). Eventually the equipment at the central training site will
be installed into precincts once training is complete. Depending on the size
of the training facility, the Seller expects to conduct up to fifty training
sessions of about two to three hours per session, depending on the end-user
training type. Based on the size of the central training facility and the
number of sessions conducted, the number of persons trained per session could
range from 10 to 25.

In the event that the centralized approach is not feasible based on the
Department's policies, procedures, or constraints, the second approach
(decentralized) would be to hold training sessions at the precincts. Precinct
level training would consist of one training session per precinct, and would
be limited to the facilities and equipment installed at that precinct.

To assure consistency with the Department's standards and needs, the approach
(centralized or decentralized) and schedule for Formal Classroom End-User
Training will be developed jointly with the Department after contract
execution.

                                  TRAINING


2.2     ON-THE-JOB TRAINING MODE

In addition to the formal classroom training for the Photo Imaging System,
the Seller's solution includes an "on-the-job" training mode, with its own
"training" database, as a standard part of the Photo Imaging System. This
training mode is an extremely valuable tool both during the initial
installation and on-going training. A workstation in training mode will be
able to perform all the functions normally authorized to that workstation to
the maximum feasible extent. However, a workstation in training mode will not
be permitted to update "real" files. In this mode, the trainees will be able
to "modify" current sample records, enter new records, and initiate
witness-mode and line-up queries. Access tables for the training mode will be
separate from the production system access tables.

2.3     POST INSTALLATION TRAINING

The Seller and the Department will jointly develop a plan for follow-up
training for the Photo Imaging System after formal classroom training to be
accomplished by the Department. It is expected that the people from the
Department responsible for training (supervisory or training staff) will take
an active role in developing and delivering on-going training. Additionally,
the Seller's on-site support person will be available to the Department as a
training resource as needed.

2.4     TRAINING DOCUMENTATION

The Seller will provide training documentation, on-site classroom and
hands-on training for the Photo Imaging System. All manuals and Training
Material will be detailed and written in language that can be easily
understood by users who do not possess computer knowledge or skills.

                             time that a system is available to the users and
                             meets both functional and performance (i.e.,
                             workload and response-time) requirements. The
                             availability requirements for this contract and
                             the method to be used for calculating the
                             availability for this contract is defined in

Federal Interface Subsystem  A small subset of the Basic Photo Imaging System
                             which will be deployed early so that the
                             Department can begin capturing photos before the
                             Basic Photo Imaging System is operational. This
                             subset consists of capture stations and printers.

Full Database                Snapshot of NYCPD Warrant/Want/WOLF database
                             which will be converted into the new DB2 format.

Intelligence Subsystem       A subsystem of the Photo Imaging System to
                             capture electronic images from photographs
                             and other forms which are associated with gang
                             members or organized crime figures.

Missing Persons Subsystem    A subsystem of the Photo Imaging System to
                             capture electronic images from photographs
                             and other forms which are associated with Missing
                             Persons or Unidentified Persons.

Name Search System           This DB2 System will perform phonetic name
                             searches against the warrants, want, recidivists,
                             and drug-users tables using the NYSIIS Name
                             Coding Technique.

Photo Imaging System         System which utilizes photo/video imaging
                             technology to capture, store, retrieve, and print
                             "mugshots" and other associated images. The Photo
                             Imaging System consists of three components: (1)
                             the Basic Photo Imaging System, (2) the
                             Intelligence Subsystem, and (3) the Missing
                             Persons Subsystem.

Pilot                        The first installation of the Basic Photo Imaging
                             System which provides all operational
                             capabilities. The Pilot will consist of Block 0
                             (Central Servers configuration) and Block 1
                             (some number of capture workstations at a
                             central booking site and display-only
                             workstations and printers at a set of precincts).

Postage Stamp Strategy       This approach uses a pre-reduced size of a
                             photograph or image for display of images in a
                             photo line-up or during witness mode. This
                             "postage-stamp" image can be used for these
                             purposes because the size of the image being
                             displayed on the screen in small and does not
                             require the high-resolution image. To maintain
                             the highest print quality, the full-sized stored
                             image will be used for printing. This approach
                             allows the system to send high-resolution images
                             only when needed in order to save on network
                             traffic.

Reconciliation of Property   The activity where NYCPD personnel and contractor
                             personnel examine the hardware items delivered to
                             NYCPD facilities to establish what items have
                             been delivered to NYCPD facilities and for which
                             NYCPD is now responsible. Once this activity is
                             completed, NYCPD is liable for loss or
                             destruction of these items.

                           incremental installation of the Photo Imaging
                           System via the "block" deployment approach.

Sealing System             The DB2 Sealing System will replace the existing
                           PC-based sealing tracking system and automate and
                           streamline current manual procedures by
                           implementing electronic transfer of Sealing
                           information to/from external systems.

SECTION 5.0    LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

5.2  A sum equal to five hundred thirty nine thousand five hundred dollars
     ($539,500.00)(less any milestone payment released as part of 4.1 above) of
     the Subcontract Agreement value shall be withheld without interest to
     Seller, pending satisfactory completion of the ninety (90) day final

5.5  Seller agrees to be liable for liquidated damages using the following
     algorithm;

     For each day of slippage passed the no-later-than date of a milestone

     maximum of $1,000.00 per day (weekends and holidays included). In the event
     that the Final System Acceptance completion date of 06/19/98 is not met for
     any reason, then the Buyer will receive $1,000.00 per day (weekends and
     holidays included) from the Liquidated Damages set-aside for each day of
     slippage. If money remains in the Liquidated Damages set aside after Final
     System Acceptance completion, then that money will be returned to the

     completion.

                              SOFTWARE DEPOSIT AGREEMENT

     This Software Deposit Agreement is made and entered into as of 20
JANUARY 1999, by and among ImageWare Software, Inc. and/or its wholly-owned
subsidiaries ("XImage") and Science Applications International Corporation
("SAIC"). XImage and SAIC are sometimes individually referred to herein as a
"Party" or collectively as "Parties."

                                       RECITALS

     A.  In 1996, SAIC entered into a contract with the City of New York
Police Department ("NYPD") pursuant to which SAIC agreed to provide certain
services and software programs to NYPD, including an Integrated Digitized
Photo Imaging Program, and to perform maintenance services with respect
thereto.

     B.  In September 1996, XImage entered into a Subcontract Agreement with
SAIC pursuant to which it agreed on behalf of SAIC to supply the Integrated
Digitized Photo Imaging Program to NYPD and to perform maintenance services
with respect thereto.

     C.  The Integrated Digitized Photo Imaging Program supplied to NYPD on
behalf of SAIC includes exploded bills of material which include manufacturer
and manufacturer part numbers, assembly drawings, inter-connect diagrams,
Software Source Code for Force-Field, other XImage software and applicable
peripheral drivers, duplication (Master) disks for all software and
documentation and process control/test plan documents, all of which are
herein referred to as the "Technical Data Package."

     D.  The Subcontract Agreement will be modified so that XImage will
deposit the Technical Data Package with SAIC so that it will be available to
SAIC in the event that XImage defaults under its contractual obligations as
defined in the Subcontract Agreement in accordance with section 27.0
"Default" or is otherwise unable to perform its contractual obligations.

     E.  This Software Deposit Agreement is created to hold the Technical
Data Package and to satisfy the obligation of XImage referred to in Recital D
above.

     Now, Therefore, the Parties agree as follows:

     1.  XImage shall transfer and deliver to, and deposit with, SAIC the
Technical Data Package, including a General List or Description of Materials
included in such Technical Data Package. XImage represents and warrants to
SAIC that such Technical Data Package consists of the current version of all
data included in the Technical Data Package. XImage further represents and
warrants to SAIC that such Technical Data Package and the General List or
Description of Materials shall be updated and kept current if and when XImage
updates any items in the Technical Data Package for the NYPD. Any time any
material that is subject to this Agreement is updated or modified by XImage,
XImage shall provide the updated version to SAIC as described in SAIC
Subcontract Agreement No. 4500076043.

                                      1

<PAGE>

     2.  XImage shall provide SAIC with a copy of the General List or
Description of Materials included in the Technical Data Package.

     3.  In the event that an update or series of updates of items included
in the Technical Data Package supersede a prior version of the Technical Data
Package in its entirety, then XImage may require SAIC to return or destroy
portions of the Technical Data Package representing such prior version(s)
provided that SAIC is able to retain a copy of all materials, including
superceded elements of the TDP, necessary to assure continuity of the
Program. SAIC agrees to protect all such outdated versions of the TDP so
retained in accordance with the procedures used to protect its own
restricted, proprietary or confidential information from release and XImage
is in no way responsible for control of superceded TDP elements. SAIC's
Technical Representative shall have the right to inspect, compile, test and
review the Technical Data Package (subject to appropriate undertakings of
confidentiality and restrictions on subsequent use or disclosure) upon
written request to XImage at any time. Such inspections and testing shall be
conducted at SAIC's offices unless XImage authorizes SAIC in writing to
permit the testing to be done at another location, such authorization to not
unreasonably be withheld.

     4.  In the event that XImage defaults under its contractual obligations
as defined in the Subcontract Agreement in accordance with section 27.0
"Default" or is otherwise unable to perform its contractual obligations, then
SAIC, upon written notification to XImage, shall have the right to use such
Technical Data Package in performing its contractual obligations to NYPD.
Such use shall not be construed as a waiver of any default in performance by
XImage, but shall solely be a mitigation of any damages suffered by SAIC by
reason of nonperformance by XImage.

     5.  SAIC represents and warrants that upon receipt of the Technical
Data Package, SAIC shall maintain the Technical Data Package in strict
confidence, shall use and disclose it only as reasonably appropriate to
exercise such Buyer rights in the Technical Data Package and shall use the
same degree of care it provides for its own data identified as restricted,
proprietary and confidential.

     6.  This Software Deposit Agreement shall terminate at the termination
of the Subcontract Agreement, or with the completion of required performance
by XImage, whichever comes later, and, upon termination or completion of
performance, SAIC shall return the Technical Data Package to XImage.

     7.  The laws of the State of California shall govern this Software
Deposit Agreement.

     8.  This Software Deposit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the successors or assigns of the Parties.

     9.  This Software Deposit Agreement may be changed only by an amendment
signed by the Parties to be bound by such amendment.

                                        2

     10. Any and all notices or other communications required or permitted to be
given under any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and
shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or two days
following (a) deposit with a private courier, (b) transmission by fax (followed

certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the parties at the

losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses that may be incurred by SAIC
in connection with the performance of its duties under Software Deposit
Agreement except for those losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of SAIC.

     12. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of
which together shall be deemed an original.

     In Witness Whereof, the parties hereto, each intending to be legally bound
by this writing, have caused these Instructions to be executed the day and year
first above written.

III.  STANDARD CONTRACTUAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

      A.   Administration

      This contract is between the County and the Contractor who will be
      responsible for providing the goods and performing the services
      described herein. The County is not a party to defining the division of
      work between the Contractor and its subcontractors, if any, and the
      Specifications have not been written with this intent. However, King
      County reserves the right to approve or disapprove of any substitutes
      of subcontractors.

      The Contractor represents that it has or will obtain all personnel and
      Equipment required to perform hereunder. Such personnel shall not be
      current employees of the County or former employees of the County. Any
      current or former County employees or former Metro employees who are
      involved, or become involved, in the performance of the contract must
      be disclosed according to Attachment G; and the County will determine
      whether conflicts of interest or ethical violations exist under the
      circumstances.

      The Contractor's performance under this contract may be monitored and
      reviewed by a Contract Administrator appointed by the County. Reports
      and data required to be provided by the Contractor shall be delivered
      to the Contract Administrator. Questions by the Contractor regarding
      interpretation of the terms, provisions and requirements of this
      contract shall be addressed to the Contract Administrator for response.

      This contract is for official use only by the County. No other use of
      this contract and/or the terms and conditions thereof, is authorized.

      B.   Change Orders

      The County may, at any time, with approval of Contractor, make any
      change in the work within the scope of this contract. No oral order or
      conduct will constitute a Change Order unless confirmed in writing by
      the parties to this agreement.

      If any Change Order causes an increase or decrease in the cost of, or
      the time required for, performance of any part of the work under this
      contract, the parties to this agreement shall make an equitable
      adjustment in the Contract Price, the delivery schedule, or both, and
      shall amend the contract in writing.

      The Contractor must assert its right to an adjustment under this clause
      within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of a written Change
      Order from the County. Upon request from the Contractor, the County may
      extend the thirty (30) day period. The request for equitable adjustment
      must be in writing and state the general nature and monetary extent of
      the claim. The County may require additional supporting documents and
      analysis to determine the validity of the claim. No claim by the
      Contractor for an equitable adjustment hereunder will be allowed if
      asserted after Final payment under this contract. No claim will be
      allowed for any costs incurred more than thirty (30) days before the
      Contractor gives written notice, as required in this section.

      C.   Termination for Convenience/Default/Non-Appropriation

           1.   Termination for Convenience

           The County for its convenience may terminate this contract, in
           whole or in part, at any time by written notice sent certified
           mail, return receipt requested, to the Contractor. After receipt
           of a Notice of Termination, and except as directed by the Contract
           Administrator, the Contractor shall immediately stop work. The
           Contractor shall be paid its costs, including necessary and
           reasonable contract close- out costs and profit on that portion of
           the work satisfactorily performed up to the date of termination as
           specified in the Notice. The Contractor shall promptly submit its
           request for the termination payment, together with detailed

<PAGE>

           any property in its possession belonging to the County, the
           Contractor will account for the same and dispose of it in the
           manner the County directs.

           If this contract is terminated, the rights, duties, and
           obligations of the parties, including compensation to the
           Contractor, shall be determined in accordance with Part 49 of the
           Federal Acquisition Regulation in effect on the date of this
           contract. The termination of this contract for convenience shall
           terminate Contractor's obligations under this contract as of the
           termination date.

           2.   Termination for Default

           In addition to termination for convenience, if the Contractor does
           not deliver supplies in accordance with the contract delivery
           schedule, or if the contract is for services and the Contractor
           fails to perform in the manner called for in the contract, or if
           the Contractor fails to comply with any other material provisions
           of the contract, the County may terminate this contract, in whole
           or in part, for default. Termination shall be effected by serving a
           Notice of Termination by certified mail, return receipt requested,
           on the Contractor setting forth the manner in which the Contractor
           is in default and the effective date of termination; provided,
           that Contractor shall have forty-five (45) calendar days to cure
           the default. The Contractor will only be paid for goods delivered
           and accepted, or services performed in accordance with the manner
           of performance set forth in the contract less any damages to the
           County caused by such default.

           3.   Termination for Non-Appropriation

           If expected or actual funding is withdrawn, reduced or limited in
           any way prior to the termination date set forth in this contract
           or in any amendment hereto, the County may, upon written notice to
           the Contractor, terminate this Contract in whole or in part. Such
           termination shall be in addition to the County's rights to
           terminate for convenience or default.

           In accordance with K.C.C. 4.04.040 B.6, payment shall not exceed
           the appropriation for the year in which termination is effected. If
           the Contract is terminated for non-appropriation:

                a)   The County will be liable only for payment in accordance
                     with the terms of this contract for services accepted
                     prior to the effective date of termination; and

                b)   The Contractor shall be released from any obligation to
                     provide further services pursuant to the contract as are
                     affected by the termination.

           Funding for this Contract beyond the currect appropriation year is
           conditional upon appropriation by the King County Council of
           sufficient funds to support the activities described in this
           Contract. Should such an appropriation not be approved, the Contract
           will terminate at the close of the current appropriation year. The
           appropriation year ends on December 31 of each year.

      D.   Force Majeure

      The term "force majeure" shall include, without limitation by the
      following enumeration: acts of Nature, acts of civil or military
      authorities, fire, accidents, shutdowns for purpose of emergency
      repairs, strikes and any other industrial, civil or public disturbance,
      that are not reasonably within the control of a party, causing the
      inability to perform the requirements of this Contract. If any party is
      rendered unable, wholly or in part, by a force majeure, to perform or
      comply with any obligation or condition of this contract then, upon
      giving three (3) days notice and reasonably full particulars to the
      other party, such obligation or condition shall be suspended only for
      the time and to the extent reasonably necessary to allow for
      performance and compliance and restore normal operations. In the event
      a Contractor ceases to be excused pursuant to this provision, then King
      County shall be entitled to exercise any remedies otherwise provided
      for in this Contract, including termination for default.

      M.   Indemnification

           1.   Limitation of Liability

                    a)   Patent and Copyright Indemnity

                    Contractor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless
                    County from any infringement claim, so long as County
                    gives Contractor prompt notice of any infringement claim
                    brought against County regarding the Software and King
                    County gives Contractor information, reasonable
                    assistance, and sole authority to defend or settle any
                    infringement claim, then, in the defense or settlement of
                    an infringement claim, Contractor shall, in its
                    reasonable judgment and at its option and expense: (i)
                    obtain for King County the right to continue using the
                    Software; (ii) replace or modify the Software so that it
                    becomes noninfringing while giving equivalent
                    performance; or (iii) if Contractor cannot obtain the

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                     Page 12


<PAGE>


                    remedies in (i) or (ii), the parties may proceed to a
                    court of competent jurisdiction to determine the amount
                    of fees that must be returned to Licensee. Contractor
                    shall have no liability to indemnify or defend King
                    County to the extent the alleged infringement is based
                    on: (i) a modification of the Software the County or
                    others authorized by the County; or (ii) use of the
                    Software other than in accordance with the Documentation.
                    Notwithstanding this section, King County retains the
                    right and ability to defend itself against any claims
                    that the Licensed Software infringes any patent or
                    copyright. If King County chooses to defend itself or
                    enter into a settlement agreement without Contractor's
                    prior knowledge, consent, and specific agreement to pay
                    costs, King County understands that Contractor will not
                    indemnify King County for its costs and expenses.

                    a)   INDEMNIFICATION FOR ALL OTHER ACTIONS

                    harmless the other party, its officers, employees and
                    agents from any and all costs, claims, judgments, and/or
                    awards of damages for injuries to persons and/or damage
                    to tangible property, arising out of or in any way
                    resulting from each party's own acts or omissions to the
                    extent each party is liable for such acts or omissions.
                    In the event the indemnified party incurs any costs
                    including attorneys fees to enforce the provisions of
                    this paragraph, all such costs and fees shall be
                    recoverable from the Indemnitor.

                    a)   WORKER'S COMPENSATION LIABILITY.

                    Contractor's indemnification obligation shall
                    include but is not limited to, all claims against King
                    County by an employee or former employee of the
                    Contractor or its subcontractors, and the Contractor
                    expressly waives by mutual negotiation, with respect to
                    the County only, all immunity and limitation on liability

                    RCW, other worker's compensation act, disability benefit
                    act, or other employee benefit act of any jurisidiction
                    which would otherwise be applicable in the case of such
                    claim. In the event of litigation between the parties to
                    enforce the rights under this paragraph, reasonable
                    attorney fees shall be allowed to the prevailing party.

                    b)   LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

                    Except for King County's intentional and willful
                    violations of Contractor's intellectual or proprietary
                    rights, which can be attributed to King County
                    management, neither party will be liable for any indirect,
                    incidental, special or consequential damages, including
                    but not limited to lost data or profits, however arising,
                    even if it has been advised of the possibility of such
                    damages. Excluding damages incurred under the paragraphs
                    entitled "Patent and Copyright Indemnity" and
                    "Indemnification for all other Actions" either party's
                    liability for damages to the other under this Agreement
                    shall be limited to the $185,000 received under this
                    agreement. The parties agree to the allocation of
                    liability of risk set forth in this section.

                                    Page 13

<PAGE>


     1.   Nondiscrimination - General

          a)   King County Code Chapters 12.16 and 12.18 are incorporated by
               reference as if fully set forth herein and such requirements
               apply to this Contract.  Failure by the Contractor to comply
               with any requirements of these Chapters shall be a material
               breach of contract.

          b)   No Contractor, Subcontractor, or union doing business with the
               County or a County Contractor who furnishes workers or
               services in connection therewith, shall discriminate against
               any Person on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, sex,
               age, nationality, marital status, sexual orientation, or the
               presence of any sensory, mental or physical disability in an
               otherwise qualified disabled Person in employment, and no such
               Contractor, Subcontractor, or union shall violate the terms of
               RCW Chapter 49.60, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
               or any other applicable federal, state or local law or
               regulation regarding nondiscrimination in employment.  These
               provisions shall apply to all contractors, subcontractors, or
               unions doing business with or furnishing workers or services
               to the county, except other governments.

     2.   Employment Practices

          a)   During performance of this Contract, the Contractor agrees that
               it will not engage in unfair employment practices as defined
               by King County Code, Chapter 12.18.  The Contractor agrees
               that it shall not discriminate against, nor tolerate
               harassment of, any employee or applicant for employment
               because of race, color, creed, religion, sex, age,
               nationality, marital status, sexual orientation, or the
               presence of any sensory, mental or physical disability in an
               otherwise qualified disabled Person.  The Contractor will take
               affirmative action to ensure that applicants and employees are
               treated without  regard to their race, color, creed, religion,
               sex, age, nationality, marital status, sexual orientation or the
               presence of any sensory, mental or physical disability in an
               otherwise qualified disabled Person.  Such affirmative action
               shall include, but not be limited to the following:
               employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment or
               recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay
               or other forms of compensation; and, selection for training,
               including apprenticeship.  The Contractor agrees to post in
               conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for
               employment, notices setting forth the provision of this
               nondiscrimination clause.

          b)   The Contractor will, prior to commencement and during the term
               of this Contract, furnish the County, upon request and on such
               forms as may be provided by the County, a report of the
               affirmative action taken by the Contractor in implementing the
               terms of this provision, and will permit access by the County
               to the Contractor's records of employment, employment
               advertisements, application forms, other pertinent data and
               records for the purpose of monitoring and investigation to
               determine compliance with this contract.

          c)   The Contractor will implement and carry out the obligation
               contained in its Affidavit and Certificate of Compliance,
               Attachment E, submitted as part of its commitment to perform
               the work under this Contract.  Failure to implement and carry
               out such obligations in good faith may be considered by the
               County a material breach of this Contract and may be grounds
               for cancellation, termination, or suspension of the Contract,
               withholding payment, or invoking the

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                    Page 14

<PAGE>

               enforcement provisions of King County Code Chapter 12.16 which
               provides for penalties, liquidated damages, or other remedies.
               The Contractor shall require that Affidavits in the form of
               those required by the County from the Contractor be submitted
               by its subcontractors and that substantially the foregoing
               provisions be contained in all such subcontracts.

     3.   Compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and
          the Americans with Disabilities Act

          a)   As required by King County Code Chapter 12.16, all contractors
               (except those directly selling goods) entering into contracts
               with King County shall provide the County with assurance of
               their compliance with the provisions of Section 504 of the
               Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and the
               Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.  The Contractor shall
               complete and maintain in its office a Section 504 self
               evaluation and corrective action plan.  An Assurance of
               Compliance contained in the corrective action plan
               (Attachment M), must be signed, notarized and submitted to the
               County before the Contract will be signed by the County.

          b)   In addition to the general prohibition against discrimination
               stated above, the following nondiscrimination provisions
               relating to employment of persons with disabilities shall
               apply to contractors, subcontractors, or unions doing business
               with or furnishing workers or services to the County:

               (1)  Reasonable accommodation

                    (a)  The Contractor shall make reasonable accommodation
                         to the known physical or mental limitations of an
                         otherwise qualified disabled applicant or employee
                         unless the Contractor can demonstrate that the
                         accommodation would impair or cause undue hardship
                         on the operation of the Contractor's business.

               (2)  Pre-employment inquiries

                    (a)  The Contractor may not conduct a pre-employment
                         medical examination or make a pre-employment inquiry
                         as to whether an applicant is a disabled Person or
                         as to the nature or severity of a disability.  The
                         Contractor may, however, make pre-employment inquiry
                         into an applicant's ability to perform job-related
                         functions.  Nothing in this section shall prohibit
                         the Contractor from conditioning an offer of
                         employment on the results of a medical examination
                         prior to initiation of the employment, if all
                         entering employees are subjected to such an
                         examination regardless of disability.

P.   Conflicts of Interest and Noncompetitive Practices

     1.   Conflict of Interest

     The Contractor, by entering into this contract with the County to perform
     or provide work, services or materials, has thereby covenanted that it
     has no direct or indirect pecuniary or proprietary interest, and that it
     shall not acquire any interest, which conflicts in any manner or degree
     with the work, services or materials required to be performed and/or
     provided under this contract and that it shall not employ any Person or
     agent having any such interests.  In the event that the Contractor or
     its agents, employees or representatives hereafter acquires such a
     conflict of interest, it shall

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                    Page 15

<PAGE>

     immediately disclose such interest to the County and take action
     immediately to eliminate the conflict or to withdraw from this contract,
     as the County may require.

     2.   Contingent Fees and Gratuities

     The Contractor, by entering into this contract with the County to
     perform or provide work, services or materials, has thereby covenanted
     that:

          a)   No Person or selling agency except bona fide employees or
               designated agents or representatives of the Contractor has
               been employed or retained to solicit or secure this contract
               with an agreement or understanding that a commission,
               percentage, brokerage, or contingent fee would be paid; and

          b)   No gratuities, in the form of entertainment, gifts or
               otherwise, were offered or given by the Contractor or any of
               its agents, employees or representatives, to any official,
               member or employee of the County or other governmental agency
               with a view toward securing this contract or securing
               favorable treatment with respect to the awarding or amending,
               or the making of any determination with respect to the
               performance of this contract.

Q.   Disputes, Claims and Appeals

The Contractor shall address questions or claims regarding the meaning and
intent of the Contract in writing to the Contract Administrator, within
thirty (30) calendar days of the date in which the Contractor knows or should
have known about the claim or question.

Each party shall address questions or claims arising from this Contract in
writing to the other within one (1) year from the date in which the party
knows or should have known about the claim or question.

The Contract Administrator will ordinarily respond to the Contractor in
writing with a decision, but absent such written response, the question or
claim shall be deemed denied upon the tenth (10th) day following receipt by
the Contract Administrator.

All claims, counterclaims, disputes and other matters in question between the
County and the Contractor that are not resolved between the Contract
Administrator and the Contractor or through alternative dispute resolution
will be decided in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of
Washington, in Seattle, which shall have exclusive jurisdiction and venue
over all matters in question between the County and the Contractor.
Mediation or arbitration are not mandatory prerequisites to filing a lawsuit.

Pending final decision of a dispute hereunder, the Contractor shall proceed
diligently with the performance of the contract work, including the disputed
requirements, unless the disputed requirement materially prevents continued
performance of the contract work.  Failure to comply precisely with the time
deadlines under this paragraph as to any claim shall operate as a waiver and
release of that claim and an acknowledgment of prejudice to the non-claiming
party.

R.   Mediation and Arbitration

Nothing in this paragraph precludes any party from seeking relief from U.S.
District Court for the Western District of Washington, in Seattle.  If a
dispute arises out of or relates to this Contract, or the breach thereof, and
if said dispute cannot be settled through direct discussions, the parties
agree to first endeavor to settle the dispute in an amicable manner by
mediation.  Thereafter, any unresolved controversy or claim arising out of or
relating to this contract, or breach thereof, may be settled by arbitration,
and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any
court having jurisdiction thereof.  The parties to this Contract may seek to
resolve disputes pursuant to mediation or arbitration, but are not required
to do so.

S.   Retention of Records, Audit Access and Proof of Compliance with Contract

     1.   Retention of Records

          a)   The Contractor shall maintain books, records and documents of
               its performance under this contract in accordance with
               generally accepted  accounting principles.  The Contractor
               shall maintain and retain for a period of not less than six
               years after the date of Final Acceptance of contract work, all
               financial information, data and records (e.g., estimating
               sheets, take-offs, calculations, designs, etc.) used to
               prepare and support the Contractor's final Proposal for this
               contract and all records pertaining to the performance of the
               work under this contract, including the work performed under
               Change Orders, and contracts and agreements with
               subcontractors and suppliers.

          b)   The Contractor shall attempt to ensure that its subcontractors
               maintain and retain for no less than three years all records
               pertaining to the performance by the subcontractors and
               suppliers of their portions of the work under this contract.

     2.   Audit Access

          a)   The County and its authorized representatives and designees
               shall have access to all records maintained and retained by
               the Contractor and its subcontractors with respect to this
               Contract for the purpose of inspection, cost/price analysis,
               audit or other purposes related to this contract.  The County
               and its representatives and designees shall have access to
               such records and be able to copy such records during the
               Contractor's normal business hours.  The Contractor shall
               provide proper facilities for such access, inspection and
               copying.  To the extent permitted by the public disclosure
               laws, County will maintain the confidentiality of all such
               records and information.  County's inspection and copying will
               be at County's expense.

          b)   Audits may be conducted during Contractor's normal business
               hours or after the Contract Period for purposes of evaluating
               claims by or payments to the Contractor and for any other
               reason reasonably deemed appropriate and necessary by the
               County.  Audits will be conducted by auditors selected and paid
               for by the County.  Audits shall be conducted in accordance
               with generally accepted auditing standards and/or audit
               procedure and guidelines of the County.  The Contractor shall
               fully cooperate with the County or its auditor(s) during
               audits and inspections, and provide all requested
               documentation.  Audits will be conducted at the County's
               expense.  To the extent permitted by the public disclosure
               laws, County will maintain the confidentiality of all such
               records and information.  County's inspection and copying will
               be at County's expense.

          c)   The County will give at least a forty-eight (48) hours notice
               to the Contractor of the date on which the audit will begin,
               if the County is notified in advance.

     3.   Proof of Compliance with Contract

     The Contractor shall, at any time when requested, submit to the County
     properly authenticated documents or other satisfactory proof as to the
     Contractor's compliance with contract requirements.

     In addition, the Contractor will permit the County, and if federally
     funded, the FTA and the Comptroller General of the United States, or a
     duly authorized representative, to inspect all work, materials, payrolls
     and other data and records involving the contract.

<PAGE>

      T.   Other Public Agency Orders

      Other public agencies may utilize the terms and conditions established by
      this contract if the Contractor agrees. The County does not accept any
      responsibility or involvement in the purchase orders or contracts issued
      by other public agencies.

      U.   Recycled Products Policy

      The County promotes the purchase and utilization of recycled material and
      products where available. Recycled material means material and byproducts
      which have been recovered or diverted from solid waste disposal for the
      purpose of recycling. It does not include those materials and byproducts
      generated from, and commonly reused within, an original manufacturing
      process. In the event of similar pricing, availability and other factors
      affecting the solicitation, preference may be given to products
      containing recycled material.

      The Contractor shall, when requested by the Contract Administrator,
      provide Documentation indicating the recycled materials used and their
      proportion of the total value of the end product and upon request, where
      recycled materials were available but non-recycled materials were
      actually used, in whole or in part, the Contractor shall furnish the
      content by price/volume of recycled and non-recycled material used, and
      shall furnish an explanation of the reason that recycled materials were
      not used.

      V.   Public Disclosure of Contracts

      This Contract shall be considered a public document and will be
      available for inspection and copying by the public.

      If the Contractor considers any portion of the items delivered to
      King County to be protected under the law, the Contractor shall
      clearly identify each such portion with words such as "CONFIDENTIAL,"
      "PROPRIETARY" or "BUSINESS SECRET." If a request is made for
      disclosure of such portion, the County will determine whether the
      material should be made available under the law. If the material is
      not exempt from public disclosure law, the County will notify the
      Contractor of the request and allow the Contractor twenty (20) days
      to take whatever action it deems necessary to protect its interests.
      If the Contractor fails or neglects to take such action within said
      period, the County will release the portions of the Proposal deemed
      subject to disclosure. By submitting a Contract, the Contractor
      assents to the procedure outlined in this paragraph and shall have no
      claim against the County on account of actions taken under such
      procedure. Contractor's failure to specifically identify items as
      "CONFIDENTIAL," "PROPRIETARY" or "BUSINESS SECRET" will not diminish
      Contractor's proprietary rights in its trade secrets and other
      confidential information identified in this Contract (including all
      Attachments and Exhibits), or otherwise identified, as trade secrets
      and/or confidential information; provided, if Contractor fails to
      specifically label protected items, King County will not be liable to
      Contractor for inadvertently releasing such items pursuant to a
      disclosure request.

IV.   SPECIFIC CONTRACTUAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

      A.   Contract Documents and Precedence

      The documents constituting the Contract between the County and the
      Contractor are intended to be complementary so that what is required by
      any one of them shall be as binding as if called for by all of them. In
      the event of any conflicting provisions or requirements within the
      several parts of the Contract Documents, they shall take precedence
      from highest precedence (listed first) to lowest precedence (listed
      last) as identified on the Agreement which is the first page of this
      document.

      B.   Shipping Charges

      All prices shall include freight to FOB destination. Requests for
      additional compensation for freight charges will be rejected by the
      County.

      C.   Guarantee/Warranty

      The Contractor warrants the Equipment and Services furnished under this
      Contract No. T00874T when delivered, and for the twelve month period
      after Final Acceptance (the "Limited Warranty Period") will be free
      from defects in material and workmanship, and will conform with all
      requirements of this contract. The Contractor is responsible for all
      costs of replacement, including shipping charges, for Equipment or
      Services found defective regardless of who actually corrects the defect.

      The County shall give written notice of any defect to the Contractor.
      If the Contractor has not diligently undertaken to correct the defect
      within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving the written notice,
      the County, in its sole discretion, may correct the defect itself. In
      the case of an emergency, the County may waive the written notice and
      correct the defect itself, if the County believes delay could cause
      serious injury, loss or damage.

      Upon receipt of notice of defective Equipment or Services from the
      County, Contractor will (a) coordinate the repair or replacement of
      defective Equipment with the Equipment manufacturer or Equipment
      maintenance provider, or (b) commence to fix defective Services. The
      warranties provided by Equipment suppliers/manufacturers are described

      between the warranties extended to the County by the Contractor and
      those extended to the Contractor by its suppliers, vendors,
      distributors and subcontractors. Such inconsistency or difference will
      not excuse the Contractor's full compliance with its obligations under
      this contract. The actions set forth in this paragraph are the full
      extent of Contractor's responsibility under this warranty.

      The Contractor, upon notice of award of the contract, shall promptly
      provide to the County complete copies of all written warranties or
      guarantees and/or Documentation of any other arrangement relating to
      such warranties or guarantees extended to the Contractor by the
      Contractor's suppliers, vendors, distributors and subcontractors
      covering parts, components, sub-components and systems procured through
      this contract. The Contractor shall cooperate with the County in
      facilitating warranty related work by such suppliers, vendors,
      distributors and subcontractors.

      The termination of this Contract shall not relieve the Contractor from
      its warranty/guarantee responsibility with respect to warranty problems
      incurred prior to termination.

      Any Equipment or Services corrected shall be subject to this clause to the
      same extent as the Equipment or Services initially provided.

      The warranties in this Contract No. T00874T are void if the defect or
      failure is caused by any of the following excluded causes (the
      "excluded causes"): causes other than defects, errors or malfunctions
      in the Equipment, Software or Services provided by Contractor;
      de-installation, reinstallation or relocation of any item of Equipment
      without Contractor's direction or written authorization; use of
      Software not supplied or authorized by Contractor; use of equipment not
      authorized by Contractor; County's failure to follow operational
      instructions; repair, maintenance, modification or alteration of the
      Software by King County or third parties without Contractor's direction
      or written authorization; intentional acts or omissions by King County
      management; power failure, surges or electrical damage, fire or water
      damage, air conditioning failure, humidity control failure, or
      corrosive atmosphere harmful to electronic circuitry; or failure to
      maintain proper site specifications and environmental conditions.

      This warranty shall be in addition to any other express warranties or
      remedies provided by this Contract, and in addition to any other rights
      or remedies available to the County under this Contract. Contractor
      shall be liable for all defects, failures, non-performance or failures
      to meet Contract requirements except as to excluded causes.

      reasonable discretion. In the event this plan is rejected, the
      work, materials or services will be deemed not accepted and
      returned to the Contractor at the Contractor's expense. This
      procedure to remedy defects is not intended to limit or preclude
      any other remedies available to the County by law, including those
      available under the Uniform Commercial Code, Title 62A RCW.

          sum of $500.00 per day fixed and agreed, liquidated damages, but
          not as a penalty; provided, (a) Contractor will not be required to
          pay for more than sixty total days of Liquidated Damages (that is,
          $60,000 of Liquidated Damages), and (b) if the system is ready to
          "go live" within 45 days after the scheduled "go live date", then
          all Liquidated Damages will be waived by County and County shall
          provide Contractor with a written notice of such waiver.

     2.   The Contractor authorizes the County to deduct such liquidated
          damages from the amount due, or to become due, under the contract.
          The Contractor further agrees that any such deduction shall not in
          any degree release the Contractor from further obligation and
          liabilities in regard to the fulfillment of the entire contract.

     3.   Time is of the essence on each and every portion of the contract.
          In the Contract a definite and certain length of time will be
          fixed for the performance of the Contract; this Contract time will
          only be changed via Change Order.

     4.   Liquidation damage or any excess costs shall not be charged when

effective and valid under applicable law. If any provision is found to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then such provision or portion thereof
will be modified to the extent necessary to render it legal, valid and
enforceable and have the intent and economic effect as close as possible to
the invalid, illegal and unenforceable provision. If it is not possible to
modify the provision to render it legal, valid and enforceable, then the
provision will be severed from the rest of this Agreement and ignored. The
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision will not affect
the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this
Agreement, which will remain valid and binding.

          2.   The Contractor shall, upon demand of King County, deliver to
               King County all such policies of insurance, and all
               endorsements and riders, and the receipts for payment of

               terminate the Contractor's work hereunder in accordance with
               Contract provisions regarding "Termination for
               Convenience/Default/Non-appropriation." Suspension or

               risks that may be applicable to the Contractor under this
               Contract. The Contractor shall assess its own risks and, if it
               deems appropriate and/or prudent, maintain greater limits
               and/or broader coverage.

          2.   For all coverages:

          Each insurance policy shall be written on an "occurrence" form;
          excepting that insurance for professional liability, errors and
          omissions when required, may be acceptable on a claims made" form.

               a)   If coverage is approved and purchased on a "claims made"
                    basis, the Contractor warrants continuation of coverage,
                    either through policy renewals or the purchase of an
                    extended discovery period, if such extended coverage is
                    available, for not less than three (3) years from the
                    date of completion of the work which is the subject of this
                    Contract.

     C.   Minimum Scope of Insurance

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    NO.                                DESCRIPTION
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                               GENERAL SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
           System shall be Y2K (Year 2000) Compliant.
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
           System shall be developed to interface with the King County
           Heritage system, currently housed on an IBM mainframe.  Data
           upload shall be developed that is compatible with Subject In
           Process (SIP) system.

           System will need modification to meet this Functionality
           requirement.  ImageWare will modify its database batch processor
           in cooperation with King County ITS programmers.  King County will
           create any programs necessary on King County's side.  ImageWare and
           King County will use IBM's MQ Series for the interface.  King
           County will be responsible for all necessary licenses for MQ
           Series.
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
           System shall be developed such that modems will not be required
           for remote system access in favor of using TCP/IP. King County
           will provide the necessary IP tunnel through its firewall for
           7 X 24 X 365 access to the system (server and capture stations).

           ATTACHMENT A - WAIVER FROM STANDARD PROCUREMENT PROCEDURES

DATE:      June 17, 1999

TO:        Brad Duerr, Director, Department of Finance

VIA:       Arthur Wallenstein, Director, Department of Adult Detention

FROM:      Tim Longley, Information Systems Manager, Department of Adult
           Detention

SUBJECT:   Waiver from Standard Procurement Procedures
           Contract No. T00874T

The Department of Adult Detention, acting as an agent for King County Law Safety
and Justice agencies, is seeking a waiver from standard procurement procedures
in order to procure hardware and software upgrade services for the
JEMS/ForceField/ID2000 system to make them year 2000 (Y2K) compliant. Pursuant
to King County Code 4.16.040, we request a sole source waiver due to emergency
and marketing conditions.

PROBLEM STATEMENT:

Contrary to the initial vendor's assertions of compliance, the current
JEMS/ForceField/ID2000 system is NOT Y2K compliant (XIMAGE was the original
record of contract holder but was merged into IMAGEWARE SOFTWARE INC. in
February, 1998).

WHAT IS JEMS?

JEMS (Jail Electronic Mugshot System) is a PC (client/server) based digital
imaging applications, which focuses on the storage and warehousing of law
enforcement images and data.

The images, taken at the time of booking are updated via electronic interface to
the Heritage system, with data collected from the inmate interview process. The
data is retrieved and processed by a collection of display and capture stations
located at the KCCF and RJC, the King County Sheriff's office, and the Seattle
Police department.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                  Page 35

<PAGE>


The images and data are used for a variety of identification and investigative
processes. King County Jail, for example, uses the stored images in the form of
picture ID wristbands with bar codes. Images of sex offenders and volunteers are
also managed. As of 1998, the ID 2000 module was added to collect images of King
County employees for a countywide ID card, entry access, licensing, and bus pass
project.

OPTIONS:

     The options to address this problem that were presented to the King County,
     Law, Safety, and Justice Business Area Committee, including the Technical
     committee, are as follows:

          1.   do nothing with the system - leave it the way it is,

          2.   upgrade to "Band-Aide" Y2K solution - which involved the
               installation of multiple software patches and some obsolete
               equipment upgrading, or

          3.   upgrade to the Y2K certified ImageWare Crime Capture system.

CONSIDERATIONS/IMPLICATIONS:

          1.   DO NOTHING - LEAVE THE SYSTEM THE WAY IT IS: not a viable option
               as this would require a complete shutdown of the system on
               December 31, 1999 and return to manual data and image collection
               process.

          2.   UPGRADE TO A "BAND-AIDE" Y2K SOLUTION: the effective life span of
               this option is only 1 year. Failed hardware is not replaceable.
               This option forces an RFP - and the loss of an estimated $250,000
               one-time discount as reported by the system vendor.

          3.   UPGRADE TO THE Y2K CERTIFIED IMAGEWARE CRIME CAPTURE SYSTEM: Cost
               - $185,000.

RECOMMENDATION:

The King County, Law, Safety, and Justice Business Area Committee concluded that
Option 3. "Upgrade to the Y2K certified ImageWare Crime Capture system" as it
presented a permanent, cost effective, low risk solution.

JUSTIFICATION:

UPGRADING TO THE Y2K CERTIFIED IMAGEWARE CRIME CAPTURE SYSTEM; WE

1.   ensure Y2K compliance,

2.   create a new high performance imaging system that will INTEGRATE with many
     current law enforcement applications, and

3.   support the Executive's, as well as the County's commitment to develop a
     "regional system" that may be utilized by law enforcement agencies from all
     interested cities and agencies (SeaTac, Burien, Kent, City of Edmonds, DYS,
     DCFM etc.)



MARKET CONDITIONS:

A serious effort to find other system providers was made early 1999 in the
interest of developing an emergency request for proposal but only two vendors
("INTELLINETICS" and "IMAGEWARE SOFTWARE INC.") were found to fit the County's
two most urgent business needs; Y2K, and preservation of our 7 years of archived
images. "Intellinetics" WAS able to convert our images into their database, but
lacked the functionality and operability required to meet our needs without
considerable, and lengthy system modification. ImageWare Software Inc., on the
other hand, was able to provide the functionality and operability required prior
to the Y2K deadline.

Accordingly, DAD is requesting that you approve of this emergency sole source
waiver and expedite this request [RUSH] due to the Y2K compliance issue. If you
need additional information, please contact:

                   504/ADA DISABILITY ASSURANCE OF COMPLIANCE

Complying with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and
the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, two federal laws which prohibit
discrimination against qualified people with disabilities.

I understand that federal and state laws prohibit discrimination in public
accommodation and employment based solely on disability. In addition, I
recognize that Section 504 requires recipients of federal funds (either
directly or through contracting with a governmental entity receiving federal
funds) to make their programs, services, and activities, when viewed in their
entirety, accessible to qualified and/or eligible people with disabilities. I
agree to comply with, and to require that all subcontractors comply with, the
504/ADA requirements. I understand that reasonable accommodation is required
in both program services and employment, except where to do so would cause an
undue hardship or burden.

I agree to cooperate in any compliance review and to provide reasonable
access to the premises of all places of business and employment and to
records, files, information, and employees therein to King County for
reviewing compliance with Section 504 and ADA requirements.

I agree that any violation of the specific provisions and terms of the
504/ADA Disability Assurance of Compliance and/or Corrective Action Plan
required herein and Section 504 and the ADA, shall be deemed a breach of a
material provision of the Contract between the County and the Contractor.
Such a breach shall be grounds for cancellation, termination, or suspension,
in whole or in part, of this Contract by the County.

     g)   DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE. In order to facilitate rapid analysis of
          System Failure involving software, Contractor will provide a
          trained staff, at their company location, capable of handling all
          software failures in an expedient manner. In addition they will
          have diagnostic software for the purpose of identifying the cause
          of any System Failure, temporarily patching around the problem if
          necessary or temporarily disabling the use of that software module
          so that the System can be returned to use for all other activities
          with only a minor degradation in operation.

     h)   OFF-SITE MAINTENANCE: Any maintenance services required to be
          performed under this Agreement which cannot, in Contractor's
          reasonable judgment, be performed effectively at or near the System
          Site shall be performed at such other location(s) as Contractor may
          determine, at no extra cost to Customer. However, a loaned part(s)
          from Contractor's warehouse must be installed prior to the shipping
          of the item(s) being removed for maintenance.

B.   Responsibilities of the County

     1.    The County shall notify the Contractor immediately following the
           discovery of any Error, defect or nonconformity in the Software
           and Equipment. The period within which Contractor is obligated
           herein to provide telephonic off-site support shall not commence
           until such time as the Contractor receives the County's
           notification of the Error, defect or nonconformity.

     2.    The County, upon detection of any Error, defect or nonconformity
           in the Software and Equipment, shall, if requested to do so by the
           Contractor submit to the Contractor a listing of output and any
           such other data which Contractor reasonably may request in order
           to reproduce operating conditions similar to those present when
           the Error occurred or the defect or nonconformity was discovered,
           as the case may be.

     3.    Network connections: Although Contractor will provide some
           guidance and direction, Contractor is not responsible for
           resolving problems relating to networks. It is the County's
           responsibility to keep adequate back-ups. Contractor is not
           responsible for loss of data.

C.   Charges; Annual License/Maintenance Fee

     1.    Computation

           County shall pay Contractor an Annual Maintenance Fee as stated in
           Exhibit A. The Annual Maintenance Fee is a fee that includes the
           continued maintenance of hardware and software installed by this
           agreement, and 7 day a week, 24 hour per day, 365 days per year
           customer support.

     2.    Price Protection

           The charges set forth herein for the services shall not be
           increased to exceed the Application Maintenance Fees in the
           Section 6, Scope of Work during a period of two (2) years after
           the date of this Maintenance Agreement. Thereafter, such prices
           only may be increased on an annual basis and no more than five
           percent (5%) of the previous year's maintenance fee.

D.   Warranties

     The warranty provisions of Contract No. T00874T shall be applicable to
     the warranty provided under this attachment J.

E.   Termination

     The termination provisions of Contract No. T00874T shall be applicable
     to the termination provisions of this Software and Equipment Maintenance
     Agreement.

     If County or any third party modifies, enhances or otherwise alters the
     Software or Equipment, without the direction or authorization in writing
     or as otherwise provided in the Contract #T00874T Contractor will have
     the right to terminate its obligation to provide maintenance. Contractor
     may also terminate its obligation to provide maintenance at any time
     after the expiration of 12 months after offering County updates to the
     Software that County has not accepted; provided that Contractor shall
     provide County with sixty (60) day notice that Contractor will no longer
     provide maintenance support for the Software or a program within the
     Software. If


- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                    Page 62
<PAGE>

     County has reasonable cause for not accepting updates (such as,
     additional significant equipment costs would be incurred to implement
     the updates), then at any time prior to Contractor's termination of
     maintenance support, County may request an extension of Contractor's
     maintenance support. Such extension may be for up to twelve (12) months
     beginning with the date of County's request. Contractor will not
     unreasonably withhold its consent to the requested extension. After the
     end of the extended maintenance period, Contractor may at any time
     terminate its maintenance support obligation if County has not then
     accepted the most recent update offered by Contractor.

     Contractor may elect to cease providing maintenance of the
     Contractor-owned Software and, if Contractor elects to do so, may
     terminate its obligation to provide County with maintenance of the
     Contractor-owned Software by providing County with at least thirty (30)
     days written notice of such termination. If Contractor terminates its
     obligation to provide Contractor-owned Software maintenance as provided
     in the previous sentence, County will be entitled to access the Source
     Code under the Source Code Escrow Agreement (Attachment H to Contract
     T00874T), unless the Maintenance Agreement has been assumed by a third
     party with County's written consent, which will not be unreasonably
     withheld. Contractor may elect to cease providing maintenance of the
     third-party owned Software and, if Contractor elects to do so, may
     terminate its obligation to provide County with maintenance of the third
     party-owned Software by providing County with at least ninety days written
     notice of such termination. If Contractor terminates its obligation to
     provide third party-owned Software maintenance as provided in the previous
     sentence, County may pay the license fees payable to the third party
     licensor (of such third party-owned Software) directly to the third
     party licensor, and the maintenance fees payable to Contractor under this
     Maintenance Agreement will be reduced by such amount.

F.   Indemnification

     The Indemnification provisions of Contract No. T00874T shall be
     applicable to the indemnification provisions of this Software and
     Equipment Maintenance Agreement.

G.   Assignment

     Neither party may assign or subcontract all or any part of this
     Agreement without the written consent of the other party, which consent
     will not be unreasonably withheld.

H.   Miscellaneous

     1.   Insurance

          Contractor shall maintain in effect at all times during the term
          hereof, insurance as described in Contract No. T00874T between King
          County and the Contractor.

     2.   Cumulation of Remedies

          All remedies available to either party for breach of this Agreement
          are cumulative and may be exercised concurrently or separately, and
          the exercise of any one remedy shall not be deemed an election of
          such remedy to the exclusion of other remedies.

     3.   Severability

          Any invalidity, in whole or in part, of any provision of this
          Agreement shall not affect the validity of any other of its
          provisions.

(excluding human service provider contracts) for contracts over $50,000; and
(2) have 20 or fewer full-time employees at all times during the twelve (12)
months preceding said submission. Consideration for this exemption is based
on the number of full-time employees in the ENTIRE WORKFORCE OF THE PARENT
COMPANY AND ITS SUB-DIVISIONS. The approved exempt status is valid for the
life of the contract, contingent upon the company's workforce remaining at
20 or fewer employees during the period. Exemptions are approved by the

workforce of the Company, INCLUDING THE PARENT COMPANY AND ITS SUB-DIVISIONS,
has not exceeded 20 full-time employees at all times during the twelve (12)
months preceding submission of the bid, proposal or negotiated
non-construction contract, Contract No. 2740A3 (over $50,000), which this
document accompanies.

     The Company understands that its exempt status will be valid for the
life of the contract, contingent upon its workforce remaining at 20 or fewer
full-time employees during the approval period. If the number of full time
employees increases to 21 or more employees at any time during said period,
the Company agrees to inform the Hennepin County Department of Compliance and
Diversity Director in writing within ten (10) calendar days of such change or
be subject to sanctions imposed by Hennepin County.

                                                                      Proposal

                             OUR APPROACH TO IMAGING

XImage Corporation is a privately held California corporation. Our business
philosophy is to provide high performance imaging systems exclusively for law
enforcement agencies. Providing these systems since 1987, XImage has over 20
years of combined system operation. The ForceField system is currently
operational at 25 sites, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It is responsible
for over 500,000 bookings per year, or over 1,300 per day. During this time
we have compiled an impressive "Who's Who of Law Enforcement Agencies"
worldwide.

In addition to our many installations within the United States, we also have
installations in progress in Montreal, Canada as well as the Country of
Kuwait. The system in Kuwait will be able to store and retrieve 2 million
images.

In installations where there is a need for more than one display terminal,
multiple ImageStations will be networked to the ImageBank, providing access
to data and images from all locations. We also have the ability to direct
printing to other printers on the network. This important enhancement allows
agencies to have much more flexibility with their printer configurations,
while at the same time decreases hardware and maintenance costs. This feature
is a ForceField exclusive.

One of the strengths of the ForceField system is its powerful software that
incorporates the latest in image processing technology and ease of use
features. The ForceField software consists of three major components - the
database management system, the image management system, and the user
interface system.

The database structure and access software were designed to address two major
issues: retrieval speed and multi-user support. The database structure was
specifically designed for efficient organization of data, enabling rapid
search and retrieval. The image management software controlled by the
ImageBank, interacts with the optical or magnetic disks to store and retrieve
images.

Since speed is a necessity in the use of the system, each ImageStation is
configured with processing capabilities to provide rapid response time to the
user allowing the ImageBank to efficiently manage the database. The
ImageStation's processing facility is used for the screen interface, printer
control, image review and compression.

One of the key objectives in the design of the ForceField system was that the
system be user friendly. All functions are menu-driven and incorporate both
pull-down and pop-up windows. In addition, the single monitor non-interlaced
screen produces a "flicker-free" display which reduces operator fatigue and
eye strain. Furthermore, operation of the system is accomplished through
either keyboard commands or the use of an optical mouse. This enables people
who are unfamiliar with computers to find themselves at ease with a "point
and click" method of operation.

XImage Corporation stands behind their systems with a comprehensive program
for system support and maintenance. We believe our commitment begins prior to
system installation. We provide a thorough system specification session where
the agency will be able to customize screen layouts and print formats. XImage
Corporation takes special pride in our quality print formats. Please take the
time to view examples of our work in Section J of this proposal and compare
them to the competition. We can handle any of the special print format needs
of Hennepin County.

Before final acceptance of the system, XImage will train all users in the
operation of their new ForceField system. Our job is not done until all
personnel are fully trained in system function and operation.

          hours a day 365 days a year. We have installations pending at 4
          additional agencies. These systems are responsible for over 500,000
          criminal bookings per year, or over 1,300 per day. During this time
          we have compiled an impressive "Who's Who of Law Enforcement
          Agencies" worldwide. In addition to our many installations within
          the United States, we also have installations in progress in
          Montreal, Canada as well as the Country of Kuwait. The system in
          Kuwait, used for population registration, will be able to store and
          retrieve 2 million images.

          XImage Corporation has 14 photo image systems for law enforcement
          that have been operational for over 1 year. Our first installation
          in Orange County, Florida has been operational for four and

4    GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

     4.3  CALPHOTO STANDARD: ANY SYSTEM QUOTED MUST MEET OR EXCEED CALPHOTO
          STANDARDS. SEE APPENDIX "B". WHERE COUNTY SPECIFICATIONS EXCEED
          CALPHOTO, THE COUNTY SPECIFICATION MUST BE MET.

    - >   The system proposed by XImage Corporation EXCEEDS the CAL-PHOTO
          standards as set forth in Appendix "B". Where the County's
          specifications exceed CAL-PHOTO specification, the County's
          specifications have been MET or EXCEEDED.

     4.4  RELIABILITY: THE SYSTEM WILL BE VITAL TO THE IDENTIFICATION OF
          ARRESTEES AND SUSPECTS. IT WILL BE SUBJECTED TO CONTINUOUS HEAVY-DUTY
          USE 24 HOURS EVERY DAY. IT SHALL THEREFORE BE DESIGNED TO VERY HIGH
          STANDARDS OF RELIABILITY AND AVAILABILITY.

          CONTINGENT UPON FULL POWER AND NETWORK AVAILABILITY, THE GENERAL
          QUANTITATIVE REQUIREMENT IS THAT THE SYSTEM MUST BE AVAILABLE 99%
          OF THE TIME. THE SYSTEM WILL BE CONSIDERED "AVAILABLE" ONLY WHEN
          SUPPORTING ALL OF ITS MAJOR FUNCTIONS IN FULLY AUTOMATIC MODE AND
          MEETING ALL OF ITS RESPONSE TIME AND THROUGHPUT REQUIREMENTS.
          "MAJOR FUNCTIONS" INCLUDE IMAGE CAPTURE AND UPDATING, HISTORY FILE
          UPDATING, IMAGE RETRIEVAL, SEARCHING, PRINTING, LINEUPS, ACTIVITY
          LOGGING, AND PERFORMANCE MONITORING.

          THE EQUIPMENT CONFIGURATION SHOULD UTILIZE ENOUGH REDUNDANCY TO
          ENSURE THAT NO SINGLE DEVICE OR COMPONENT FAILURE OR OUTAGE WILL
          DISABLE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM OR THE FOLLOWING FUNCTIONS: DATA CAPTURE,

          OF INITIAL BOOKING FORMS, WHICH ARE THE PROPERTY SHEET, MEDICAL
          SCREENING FORM, STRIP-SEARCH AUTHORIZATION, CLASSIFICATION FORM AND
          PHOTO CARDS. FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE FILE SERVER IS INOPERABLE, THE
          WORKSTATIONS SHALL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE CAPTURING IMAGES AND BOOKING
          DATA.

          THE SYSTEM MUST BE CAPABLE OF CONTINUED OPERATION IN DEGRADED MODES.

          Based on actual performance statistics of our current sites XImage
          Corporation feels the system, contingent upon full power and
          network availability, WILL be available 99% of the time. In
          addition, the system WILL be capable of continued operation in
          degraded modes.

                 associated identifying data.

          5.5.6  SYSTEM SHOULD PROVIDE FOR AUTOMATIC RANDOM REORDERING OF THE
                 PHOTOS AFTER FINAL SELECTION.  REORDERING OF PHOTOS SHOULD
                 BE PROHIBITED ONCE THE LINEUP IS STORED.

                 The system WILL provide for automatic random reordering of
                 the photos after final selection.  Reordering of photos WILL
                 be prohibited once the lineup is stored.

     5.6  SEALING BOOKING RECORDS:

          5.6.1  SEALED RECORDS MUST NOT BE ACCESSED WITH ANY SCREEN EXCEPT
                 PERSONS WITH SEAL/UNSEAL PRIVILEGE AND MUST NOT BE RETURNED
                 IN ANY NAME SEARCH OR PHOTO LINEUP OR PRINTED, EXCEPT IN A
                 PREVIOUSLY DEFINED LINEUP RECORD, THE PHOTO WILL REMAIN AND
                 PRINT WITH NO IDENTIFYING TEXT.  IF AN ATTEMPT IS MADE TO
                 ACCESS A SEALED RECORD, A MESSAGE SHOULD BE DISPLAYED
                 INDICATING THAT THE RECORD IS SEALED.

5    SYSTEM FUNCTIONS

     5.6  SEALING BOOKING RECORDS:

          5.6.1.2  SYSTEM MUST SEAL A PARTICULAR BOOKING RECORD AND ITS
                   ASSOCIATED PHOTO IMAGES.

                   The system WILL seal a particular booking record and its
                   associated photo images.

          5.6.1.3  SYSTEM SHOULD SEAL A PARTICULAR PHOTO IMAGE.

                   The system WILL only seal a photo image with its associated
                   booking record.

          5.6.1.4  BIDDER MUST DESCRIBE HOW AN OPERATOR SEALS DATA.

                   Users so privileged to seal existing records from the
                   files can select the BOOKING SEAL command and seal a
                   selected record.  A sealed record will still exist in the
                   database, even though it will no longer appear in response
                   to a SEARCH or PHOTO LINEUP command.

     5.7  EXPUNGING CHARGES:

          5.7.1  THE EXPUNGE PROCESS MUST DELETE THE SPECIFIED CHARGE/S AND
                 ALL PERSON REFERENCES FROM A BOOKING RECORD, BUT RETAIN THE
                 BOOKING RECORD, NOTING THAT THE CHARGE/S HAS BEEN EXPUNGED.

                 The expunge process WILL delete the specified charge/s and
                 all person references from a booking record, but retain the
                 booking record, noting that the charge/s has been expunged.

          5.7.2  THE EXPUNGE PROCESS MUST DELETE ALL REFERENCES TO A PERSON
                 IF THE EXPUNGED CHARGE IS THE ONLY CHARGE ASSOCIATED WITH
                 THE PERSON.

                 The expunge process WILL delete all references to a person
                 if the expunged charge is the only charge associated with
                 the person.

          5.7.3  IF ALL PERSON REFERENCES ARE DELETED, THE EXPUNGE PROCESS
                 MUST DELETE ALL PHOTO IMAGES ASSOCIATED WITH THE BOOKING
                 RECORD IF THE PHOTO STORAGE MEDIA ALLOWS IT.  AT A MINIMUM,
                 ALL KEYS TO AN EXPUNGED PHOTO IMAGE MUST BE DELETED.

                 If all person references are deleted, the expunge process
                 WILL delete all photo images associated with the booking
                 record if the photo storage media allows it.  At a minimum,
                 all keys to an expunged photo image WILL be deleted.

     5.7  EXPUNGING CHARGES:

          5.7.4   BIDDER MUST DESCRIBE HOW AN OPERATOR EXPUNGES DATA.

                  If the privilege is available to the user, and the record has
                  been retrieved on screen, the user selects the EXPUNGE
                  function. As a safety function the expunge confirms with the
                  user before the record is expunged.

     5.8  MERGE/LINK BOOKING RECORDS:

          5.8.1   THE MERGE/LINK PROCESS MUST ALLOW ALL BOOKING RECORDS AND
                  PHOTO IMAGES TO BE DETACHED FROM ONE PERSON AND ATTACHED TO
                  ANOTHER.

                  The merge/link process WILL allow all booking records and
                  photo images to be detached from one person and attached to
                  another.

          5.8.2   THE MERGE/LINK PROCESS MUST ALLOW A SINGLE RECORD AND THE
                  ASSOCIATED PHOTO IMAGES TO BE DETACHED FROM ONE PERSON AND
                  ATTACHED TO ANOTHER.

                  The merge/link process WILL allow a single record and the
                  associated photo images to be detached from one person and
                  attached to another.

         5.8.3    BIDDER MUST DESCRIBE HOW A USER MERGES/LINKS RECORDS.

                  Once a booking record has been retrieved, a user can
                  reclassify (merge or link), by changing the PERSON Master Key
                  for that record. Again, due to the seriousness of the update,
                  the system requires a confirmation from the user.

     5.9  IMPORT/EXPORT OF DATA AND IMAGES:

          5.9.1   THE SYSTEM MUST BE ABLE TO IMPORT AND EXPORT IMAGE FILES.
                  BIDDER MUST DESCRIBE HOW AN OPERATOR IMPORTS AND EXPORT IMAGE
                  FILES.

                  The system WILL be able to import and export image files. The
                  user imports and exports image files through a menu driven
                  process which requires the format type and file name. The
                  record on screen will make the imported image part of the
                  record, or export its image to an outside location.

          5.9.2   THE SYSTEM SHOULD HAVE A MENU DRIVEN FUNCTION TO IMPORT AND
                  EXPORT IMAGES IN OTHER FORMATS.

                  The system WILL have a menu driven function to import and
                  export images in other formats.

                  EXPORTED AND SHOULD ALLOW TIFF, MICROSOFT WINDOWS STANDARD
                  BITMAP (.BMP), PC PAINTBRUSH (.PCX) AND OS/2 STANDARD BITMAP
                  (.BMP) VERSION 1.1 AND VERSION 1.2 FILE FORMATS.

                  ForceField WILL accept; TIFF, Microsoft Windows standard
                  bitmap (.BMP), PC Paintbrush (.PCX) and OS/2 standard bitmap
                  (.BMP) Version 1.1 and version 1.2 file formats.

         5.9.4    THE SYSTEM MUST ALLOW UPLOADING AND DOWNLOADING OF SELECTED
                  DATA FIELDS IN ASCII FORMAT. BIDDER MUST DESCRIBE HOW AN
                  OPERATOR UPLOADS AND DOWNLOADS DATA.

                  The system WILL allow uploading and downloading of selected
                  data fields in ASCII format. The upload and download
                  interconnect process is a joint effort between XImage
                  Corporation and Hennepin County MIS Department personnel.
                  XImage Corporation will work closely with the Hennepin County
                  MIS to define requirements, design interconnect and its
                  implementation.

5    SYSTEM FUNCTIONS

     5.10 REPORTING AND PRINT FUNCTIONS:

          5.10.1  MUST ALLOW ANY WORKSTATION TO SEND REPORTS, FORMS, LINEUPS OR
                  MUG SHOTS TO ANY PRINTER ON THE SYSTEM. BIDDER MUST DESCRIBE
                  HOW AN OPERATOR ACCOMPLISHES THIS.

                  The system WILL allow any workstation to send reports, forms,
                  lineups or mug shots to any printer on the system as long as
                  the selected printer contains the print functionality. Network
                  printing will allow a user to select the printer location
                  where an image will print. In the instance of agencies with
                  multiple printers, this feature will allow images to print
                  where desired. Since a dedicated printer is no longer needed
                  at a particular workstation, any printer in the network may be
                  utilized to fulfill multiple workstation needs.

          5.10.2  MUST ALLOW THE USER TO SELECT VARIOUS REPORTS, FORMS OR
                  MUGSHOT CARDS TO BE PRINTED.

                  The system WILL allow the user to select various reports,
                  forms or mugshot cards to be printed.

          5.10.3  SHOULD ALLOW PRINTOUT FROM THE COUNTY MAINFRAME.

                  Through a specially designed interconnect the system could
                  print information stored on the County mainframe. Based on a
                  list of records from the County mainframe, the ForceField
                  system can print any desired format at a workstation.

          5.10.4  MUST PROVIDE AN ON-LINE FEATURE TO DETERMINE PRINT QUEUE
                  STATUS WHICH WILL ALLOW USER TO CHECK STATUS OF A PRINT JOB,
                  CANCEL A PRINT JOB AND SHOULD ALLOW USER TO CHANGE PRIORITY
                  AND HOLD PRINT JOB UNTIL A SPECIFIED PERIOD OF TIME. BIDDER
                  MUST DESCRIBE HOW AN OPERATOR ACCOMPLISHES THIS.

                  The system WILL provide an on-line feature to determine print
                  queue status which will allow user to check status of a print
                  job, cancel a print job and should allow user to change
                  priority and hold print job until a specified period of time.
                  This function is available through the print menu. Print jobs
                  will be denoted as standard (default) priority or can be
                  assigned either a high or low priority by the operator.

                 POSSIBLE SO THAT ANY FUNCTION CAN BE PERFORMED FROM ANY
                 WORKSTATION, SUBJECT ONLY TO SOFTWARE CONTROLS AND INHERENT
                 HARDWARE LIMITATIONS (E.G. CAMERA/PRINTER ETC).

                 All stations WILL be as functionally equivalent as possible
                 so that any function can be performed from any workstation,
                 subject only to sofware controls and inherent hardware
                 limitations.

                 ADD-ON FILE SERVERS, WORKSTATIONS, SCANNERS, FINGERPRINT
                 ACCESS DEVICES, ETC. BIDDER MUST DESCRIBE HOW THIS IS
                 ACCOMPLISHED ON THE QUOTED SYSTEM.

                 The system WILL be easy to reconfigure and expand, such as
                 add-on file servers, workstations, scanners, fingerprint
                 access devices, etc. Because of the modular configuration of
                 the ForceField system it is easy to reconfigure and expand.
                 This will allow Hennepin County to expand their system with
                 a minimum of effort and with little change to the existing
                 system.

          7.3.3  IF THE FILE SERVER BECOMES INOPERABLE, THE WORKSTATIONS MUST
                 BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO CAPTURE IMAGES AND DATA, AND PRINT
                 INITIAL BOOKING FORMS.

                 If the file server becomes inoperable, the workstations WILL
                 be able to continue to capture images and data, and print
                 initial booking forms.

                 FUTURE EXPANSION BY UPGRADING THE PROCESSORS WITH MINIMAL
                 EFFECT ON APPLICATION SOFTWARE. BIDDER SHOULD STATE WHERE
                 QUOTED FILE SERVER STANDS WITHIN THE FAMILY OF PROCESSORS.
                 OTHER INTERPRETATIONS OF THE PHRASE, "FAMILY OF PROCESSORS,"
                 WILL BE ACCEPTED IF SOFTWARE WHICH HAS BEEN SUPPORTING THE
                 REQUIRED WORKLOAD AT THE REQUIRED PERFORMANCE LEVELS WILL
                 COMPILE AND EXECUTE WITHOUT MODIFICATION OR EMULATION ON
                 PROPOSED REPLACEMENT PROCESSORS.

                 The file server WILL be a member of an upward-compatible
                 "family" of processors so that the system can accommodate
                 future expansion by upgrading the processors with minimal
                 effect on application software.

                  AP1000 Series of Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPS). These
                  systems provide the level of protection the ForceField
                  system needs for reliable continuous operation. These
                  systems act as two systems in one. First, they continuously
                  supply the computer system with conditioned power and
                  second, they provide a back-up source to power the
                  ForceField system during brownout or total blackout
                  conditions of 15 minutes of longer.

          7.8.4   BIDDER MUST STATE WATTAGE RATING/CAPACITY FOR UPS.

                  Please see our technical literature section in this
                  proposal for the wattage ratting/capacity for the proposed
                  UPS.

    7.13  BLACK AND WHITE LASER PRINTER (6):

          7.13.1   MUST HAVE A MINIMUM PRINT RESOLUTION OF 300 DPI. BIDDER
                   SHOULD ALSO QUOTE A 600 DPI SOLUTION AS AN OPTION.

                   XImage Corporation has proposed the Hewlett Packard
                   LaserJet 4 series of Black and White laser printers. These
                   printers WILL have a minimum print resolution of 300 DPI.
                   We have also quoted a 600 DPI solution as an option.

          7.13.2   BIDDER MUST QUOTE BOTH SINGLE AND DOUBLE PAPER BINS.

                   We have quoted both single and double paper bins.

          7.13.3   BIDDER MUST STATE THE NUMBER OF PAGES PER MINUTE TO PRINT
                   A PAGE OF TEXT. THE MINIMUM TEXT RATE MUST BE EIGHT PAGES

7  HARDWARE SPECIFICATIONS

   7.13 BLACK AND WHITE LASER PRINTER (6):

        7.13.6   BIDDER MUST STATE PAPER WEIGHTS THAT CAN BE USED. MUST ACCEPT
                 STANDARD 20# AND SHOULD ACCEPT UP TO AT LEAST 30# PAPER IN
                 8 1/2 X 11" SIZE.

                 The range of paper weights requested are supported by the
                 printer. Good quality cut-sheet copier and bond paper,
                 special-application papers, envelopes, labels and overhead
                 transparency films designed for use with laser printers can
                 also be utilized by the printer. Best results are obtained
                 when 16-36 pound paper is stored and used in temperatures from
                 63 to 73 degrees fahrenheit and 40 to 50% relative humidity.

        7.13.7   MUST SUPPORT PRINTING OF PRESSURE SENSITIVE "STICK ON"
                 LABELS WHICH ARE ARRANGED ON 8 1/2" X 11" SHEETS.

                 The Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4 WILL support printing of
                 pressure sensitive "stick on" labels which are arranged on
                 8 1/2" X 11" sheets.

        7.13.8   BIDDER MUST STATE THE NUMBER OF SHEETS PER PRINT CARTRIDGE
                 OF ANY PRINTER QUOTED.

                 The HP LaserJet series can provide 7,000 pages of text pages
                 or 3,000 image pages. Dependent on the print formats used on
                 any particular printer, print capacity can be expected to fall
                 within this range.

        7.13.9   BIDDER MUST INCLUDE INFORMATION ON SUGGESTED REPLACEMENT
                 CYCLE OF COMPONENTS AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS.

                 Since the Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4 print head is
                 incorporated with the toner cartridge, periodic print head
                 replacement no longer exists as a separate maintenance item.
                 When the toner cartridge is replaced we recommend a thorough
                 vacuuming of the interior of the printer.

        7.13.10  BIDDER MUST SUBMIT SAMPLES OF PRINTED IMAGES WITH EACH
                 OPTION AND MARK SAMPLES AS 16-BIT AND 24-BIT.

              -> We have captured images in 16-bit and 24-bit color printed
                 on the Kodak SV6600 dye sublimation printer. We are currently
                 developing print drivers for 24-bit images for other offered
                 printers. These Kodak samples provide a graphical
                 representation of what can be expected from other printers
                 offered by XImage Corporation.

     8.2  OPERATING SYSTEM SOFTWARE:

          8.2.3     MUST HAVE AUTOMATIC RESTART AFTER POWER FAILURE WITHOUT
                    LOSS OF DATA, EXCEPT THE RECORD CURRENTLY BEING ADDED OR
                    UPDATED THAT HAS NOT YET BEEN SAVED.

                    The system WILL have automatic restart after power
                    failure without loss of data, EXCEPT the record currently
                    being added or updated that has not yet been saved.

          8.2.4     SYSTEM MUST HAVE BUILT IN SECURITY THAT WILL REQUIRE A
                    USER TO ENTER AN ACCOUNT NAME AND PASSWORD TO GAIN ANY
                    ACCESS TO A WORKSTATION OR FILE SERVER. MUST HAVE THE
                    ABILITY TO DEFINE SECURITY IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE USER IS
                    RESTRICTED TO SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS. BIDDER MUST STATE HOW
                    THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED.

                    The system WILL have built in security that will require
                    a user to enter an account name and password to gain any
                    access to a workstation or file server. The system WILL
                    have the ability to define security in such a way that
                    the user is restricted to specific functions.

                    Access control is implemented on both a machine,
                    operator, and database basis. An operator control table
                    will list all authorized operators and the specific
                    functions each individual operator is authorized to
                    perform. The system will permit an operator at a
                    workstation to perform only those functions for which
                    both the operator and the workstation are authorized.
                    Only the System Administrator or supervisory personnel
                    will be able to access and update the control tables
                    themselves.

                    Etherfind-TM- Network management tools provided as part
                    of the ForceField system can monitor ethernet, IP, and
                    TCP packets between any source and destination nodes of a
                    network. These packets are stored for a short duration
                    for analysis. This software can also be used to analyze
                    network activity over a period of time, as well as
                    different segments of the network.

                    documentation for operating system functions,
                    procedures and commands for workstations and file server.
                    XImage Corporation has plans to incorporate this feature
                    in an upcoming release which all sites will receive.

          8.2.9     SHOULD ALLOW SYSTEM AND NETWORK MANAGEMENT TASKS TO BE
                    ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH MENUS.

                    The system WILL allow system and network management tasks
                    to be accomplished through menus.

          8.2.10    BACKUP/RECOVERY

          8.2.10.1  SYSTEM MUST PROVIDE BACKUP CAPABILITY TO COPY IMAGES, DATA
                    AND SYSTEM SOFTWARE.

                    The system WILL provide backup capability to copy images,
                    data and system software.

          8.2.10.2  SYSTEM MUST PROVIDE ON-LINE BACKUP THAT IS CONCURRENT WITH

8    SOFTWARE SPECIFICATIONS

     8.2  OPERATING SYSTEM SOFTWARE:

          8.2.10.3  THERE MUST BE MINIMAL SLOW DOWN OR DEGRADATION OF ANY
                    SYSTEM FUNCTION WHILE BACKUPS ARE TAKING PLACE.  BIDDER
                    MUST DESCRIBE EFFECT ON SYSTEM DURING BACKUP AND
                    SPECIFICALLY STATE THE AMOUNT OF SLOW DOWN OR DEGRADATION.

                    There WILL be minimal slow down or degradation of any
                    system function while backups are taking place.

                    System response time will slow approximately 10%.

          8.2.10.4  MUST HAVE AUTOMATIC UNATTENDED BACKUP PROCEDURES.

                    The system WILL have automatic unattended backup
                    procedures.

          8.2.10.5  BIDDER MUST STATE THE AVERAGE TIME TO ACCOMPLISH A FULL
                    BACKUP OF THE SYSTEM AFTER THREE YEARS' USE WITH 375,000
                    IMAGES AND ASSOCIATED DATA.

                    Text database tape backup for 375,records is expected to
                    take around 45 minutes.  The ForceField system provides
                    an automated backup utility to backup to disk and
                    subsequent transfers to tape at user convenience.  The
                    time to tape under this configuration would be reduced to
                    25 to 30 minutes.

                    As images are organized in multiple files, a backup of
                    the current image file is expected to take no more than
                    15 minutes. As files get filled they can be backed up
                    onto multiple tapes and archived.

          8.2.10.6  BIDDER MUST STATE THE AVERAGE TIME TO COMPLETE A PARTIAL
                    BACKUP OF 500 IMAGES AND ASSOCIATED DATA.

                    The system would take no more than 15 minutes to complete
                    a partial backup of 500 images their associated data.

          8.2.10.7  MUST HAVE UTILITY PROGRAMS TO RELOAD IMAGES, DATA AND
                    SYSTEM SOFTWARE.

                    The system WILL have utility programs to reload images,
                    data and system software.

     8.2  OPERATING SYSTEM SOFTWARE:

          8.2.10.8  BIDDER MUST DESCRIBE BACKUP AND RECOVERY PROCEDURES WHICH
                    SHALL ENSURE NO LOSS OF DATA IN THE EVENT OF A HARDWARE
                    FAILURE, EXCEPT:  THE BOOKING RECORD CURRENTLY BEING
                    ADDED OR UPDATED THAT HAS NOT YET BEEN SAVED.

                    In the event of a system outage, the ForceField "data
                    shadowing" feature prevents the loss of virtually any
                    data or images.  With the usage of disk mirroring
                    technology and traditional tape backup, data storage and
                    retrieval can be made simple and efficient.  This
                    technology will minimize data loss, decrease system down
                    time, exhibit very low overhead, and provide "instant"
                    restore capability due to disk failure.  Because of
                    mirroring technology, file and databases are
                    automatically backed up onto a secondary disk.  From
                    research done with agencies currently using the system,
                    ForceField operates with an up time of 99%.

   8.3  APPLICATION SOFTWARE (see also Section 5):

        8.3.10     INFRINGEMENTS; COPYRIGHT INDEMNITY:
                   Complementary to other "hold harmless" provisions
                   throughout these specifications, the Contractor shall,
                   without cost to the County, defend, indemnify, and hold
                   the County, its commissioners, officers, and employees
                   harmless against any and all claims, liability, losses,
                   judgments, or other expenses arising out of or related to
                   any claim that the County's use or possession of the
                   software, licenses, or documentation obtained through the
                   contract, violates or infringes upon any patents,
                   copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, or other
                   proprietary rights or information, provided that the
                   Contractor is promptly notified in writing of such claim.
                   The Contractor will have the right to control the defense
                   of any such claim, lawsuit, or other proceeding. The
                   County will in no instance settle any such claim, lawsuit,
                   or proceeding without the Contractor's prior written
                   approval.

                   If, as a result of any claim of infringement of rights,
                   the Contractor is enjoined from using, marketing, or
                   supporting any product or service provided through the
                   contract to be established (or if the Contractor comes to
                   believe such enjoinment imminent), the Contractor shall
                   either arrange for the County to continue using the
                   product or service at no additional cost to the County, or
                   propose another remedy subject to County approval.
                   Provision of equivalent products or services will be
                   acceptable, but the County alone will determine whether
                   proposed substitutes are sufficiently equivalent.  If no
                   acceptable alternative is possible even after the
                   Contractor's best efforts, the Contractor shall return a
                   prorata portion of the County's costs pertaining to the
                   license fee -- and all consequential costs -- based on a
                   period of ten years.  The County may also pursue any or
                   all of its other available remedies.

              These intelligent ImageStations (UNIX based workstations)
              communicate with the ImageBank via both local and remote
              networking. In installations like the Hennepin County,
              multiple ImageStations will be networked to the ImageBank,
              providing access to data and images from all locations.
              Sophisticated communications allow ImageStations to be dispersed
              across large areas, but yet have all of the functional
              capabilities of a local Token-Ring attached ImageStation, limited
              only by the speed of the physical networking option. The mainframe
              could be connected to the Token-Ring network utilizing TCP/IP
              software on the mainframe. This would provide necessary
              infrastructure for all the application level interconnects for
              data transfer.

       9.4.6  A DESCRIPTION OF HOW COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN THE PHOTOIMAGE
              SYSTEM AND DOS OR OS/2 WORKSTATIONS COULD BE ESTABLISHED.

              Communications between the ForceField system and DOS or OS/2
              workstations can be established by utilizing an available software
              package designed specifically for that purpose that utilizes
              TCP/IP.

  9.5  3270 THAT IS BID AS AN OPTION MUST ALLOW THE WORKSTATIONS AND SERVER
       ACCESS TO THE MAINFRAME WHENEVER THE NETWORK IS OPERATIONAL. IN ORDER TO
       ACCOMPLISH THIS, HENNEPIN COUNTY WILL INSTALL A PC GATEWAY ON THE
       NETWORK. THE GATEWAY WILL RUN IBM PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS SOFTWARE WHICH
       SUPPORTS THE 802.2 IEEE PROTOCOL THROUGH THE USE OF DXM DRIVERS. BIDDER
       SHALL INCLUDE IN THE OPTION BID SOFTWARE ON THE ALL WORKSTATIONS AND
       FILE SERVER THAT WILL ALLOW COMMUNICATION OVER THE TOKEN-RING WITH THE PC
       GATEWAY.

       3270 emulation software will be listed optionally that will enable the
       workstation to emulate a 3270 terminal. Additional hardware may be needed
       if coax connections are used.

    10.1   ACCESS CONTROL MUST BE IMPLEMENTED ON BOTH WORKSTATION/FILE SERVER
           AND PHOTOIMAGE SYSTEM APPLICATION BASIS USING A PASSWORD AT BOTH
           LEVELS.

           Access control WILL be implemented on both workstation/file server
           and photoimage system application basis using a password at both
           levels.

           FUNCTIONS WHICH THE USER AND WORKSTATION HAVE AUTHORITY TO ACCESS,
           BASED ON THE CONTROL TABLES.

           The system sign on menus WILL list only those screens, files and
           functions which the user and workstation have authority to access,
           based on the control tables.

    10.5   THE SYSTEM SHOULD DISABLE A USER ID AFTER A SPECIFIED NUMBER OF
           UNSUCCESSFUL LOG-ON ATTEMPTS.

           The system will not provide this function, however ForceField will
           automatically record every significant system transaction and
           event in a log file on disk and retain on-line for a minimum of 60
           days. The transaction to be recorded will include all system
           start-ups, authorization file changes, sign-ons and sign-offs, and
           images taken. Each history record will include the date and time
           of the transaction and the operator, unit, officer, and event
           identification as applicable.

    10.6   BIDDER MUST DESCRIBE HOW THE SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR ACCESSES AND
           UPDATES THE CONTROL TABLES.

           The system WILL allow System Administrator to add, delete and modify
           table entries for validation. This functionality is allowed only
           to individuals who have been given this permission (usually the
           System Administrator) through specialized ForceField update
           utilities. The System Administrator will be fully trained by
           XImage Corporation training personnel in performing this function.

10  SECURITY

    10.7   ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM SHOULD ALLOW USER GROUP ACCESS PRIVILEGE BY
           WORKSTATION, FILE AND FUNCTION.

           Access control system WILL allow user group access privilege by
           workstation, file and function.

    10.8   THE SYSTEM SHOULD ALLOW A USER TO ACCESS ONLY AUTHORIZED RECORDS
           WITHIN A FILE.

           The system does not provide this capability.

    10.9   THE SYSTEM MUST PROVIDE SEPARATE JUVENILE RECORD ACCESS. BIDDER
           MUST DESCRIBE THE SOLUTION.

           The system WILL provide separate juvenile record access. Virtually
           there is no limit to the number of truly multiple separate
           databases which can be created. Access is restricted to each
           database through password protected log-ons. For instance, some
           corrections officers may have access in the adult database but not
           in the juvenile database. Likewise, personnel administration may have
           access to the employee and visitor database, but no authorization
           in the inmate database. In such a case, the user will only see the
           database names to which they have authorization.

    10.10  IF A FINGERPRINT ACCESS DEVICE WAS QUOTED IN OPTIONAL HARDWARE
           SECTION, BIDDER SHOULD DESCRIBE HOW IT IS INCORPORATED INTO SYSTEM

13   FUTURE PLAN STATEMENT

     13.1 THE ITEMS LISTED BELOW ARE POSSIBLE FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS OF THE
          INITIAL SYSTEM.  THE BIDDER SHOULD STATE ANY EXPERIENCE IN THE
          FOLLOWING AREAS:

          13.1.1 INTERFACING TO EXISTING COUNTY IBM MAINFRAME 3090, MODEL
                 400J WITH A MVS/ESA OPERATING SYSTEM AND IMS, CICS, DB/2
                 APPLICATIONS.

                 XImage Corporation installations typically contain system
                 interfaces to existing agency mainframes. These interfaces
                 eliminate the need for redundant data entry and will enable
                 quicker and more consistent processing of bookings.  XImage
                 Corporation has experience in providing these interfaces and
                 will work with Hennepin County in providing integration.

          13.1.2 ADDITIONAL DATA BASES AND APPLICATIONS.

                 The ForceField system currently supports multiple databases.
                 This feature will effectively allow you segregate adults,
                 juveniles, employees, gangs etc.  The juveniles or any other
                 database can be secure from unauthorized access and
                 inclusion in the adult database searches and lineups.

          13.1.3 INTERFACING TO OS/2 CLIENT SERVER APPLICATIONS.

                 XImage Corporation has experience in providing these
                 interfaces and will work with Hennepin County in providing
                 integration.

          13.1.4 STORAGE OF FINGERPRINTS - INTERFACE TO EXISTING DIGITAL
                 BIOMETRICS LIVESCAN.

                 A joint effort between XImage Corporation and Digital
                 Biometrics WILL enable us to interface with the existing
                 Hennepin County livescan for the storage of fingerprint
                 images on the ForceField system.

          13.1.5 DOCUMENT RECORDING.

                 XImage Corporation's area of expertise is in providing the
                 highest quality imaging systems for booking and suspect
                 identification.  Document recording is an entirely separate
                 discipline which has distinct requirements which XImage
                 Corporation has not addressed as of yet.

          provide our users with added value and usefulness.

     13.3 BIDDER MUST DESCRIBE THEIR POLICY FOR DEVELOPING CUSTOMER REQUESTED
          ENHANCEMENTS.

          XImage Corporation WILL respond to the system enhancement needs of
          Hennepin County in a fashion which will ensure timely and organized
          implementation. In most cases, Hennepin County MIS will provide XImage
          Corporation with an enhancement outline. In conference with XImage
          Corporation engineering staff, final specification, time line and
          implementation will be determined and agreed upon.

     13.4 BIDDER MUST DESCRIBE THEIR POLICY FOR WORKING WITH COUNTY MIS
          RESOURCES IN DEVELOPING NEW APPLICATIONS.

          FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AND (2) CURRENTLY IN DEVELOPMENT. WHERE
          POSSIBLE, INCLUDE PROJECTED AVAILABILITY.

          XImage Corporation prefers not to disclose information on future
          system enhancements until available to the client. As in the past, it
          is our intent to remain at the forefront of digital imaging technology
          and we will strive to incorporate features of value to our users.

 The Oregon State COJIN system is the first cooperative tri-agency imaging
 system in the United States. XImage Corporation was selected as the only
 vendor capable of meeting the needs of this large and complex installation.
 The system is designed around a central ImageBank located at the Multnomah
 Sheriff's facility and networked to ImageStations located throughout the
 City, County, and State. Combined bookings are expected to exceed 70,000 in
 1993. Captured images will include front and side mugshots, as well as scars,
 marks, and tattoos.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Describe Hardware (include band names, number of work stations, type of
storage media for photoimages)

 Hardware will include a central processor, three Capture ImageStations,
 eleven Display ImageStations, multiple HP LaserJet Printers, Kodak Color
 Format Printers, and the new line of Canon Printers, including a CJ-10,
 CLC-300, and CLC-500. The system also includes two camera copy stand
 scanners, and an Identicator-TM- fingerprint capture device. Image storage
 consists of four SONY 12 inch optical platters capable of storing
 approximately 500,000 CAL-PHOTO size mugshot images online.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Describe Network Environment (include topology used, protocols used,
operating system used)

 The local area network is ethernet. The ten remote ImageStations are
 connected via dedicated 56KB digital lines. The ForceField II operating
 system is the Department of Defense standard - UNIX.

Describe Mainframe Interface (include mainframe brand and model, mainframe
DBMS, type of communications used)

 The third phase of the COJIN installation requires an interconnect between
 the ForceField II imaging system and the County's Amdahl mainframe computer.
 Communications will be opened between the County CICS database and the
 ForceField II system. We will utilize a SNA gateway for connection. Data
 transfer will be in real time.

      TERMS AND CONDITIONS - CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT

1.   TERM OF AGREEMENT.  XIMAGE's obligations hereunder shall become effective
upon the "Effective Date" (set forth on the reverse side) and, unless sooner
terminated provided herein, shall remain in full force and effect for at least
one year thereafter.  This Agreement shall automatically renew for consecutive
one (1) year terms at XIMAGE's prevailing rates at the end of each one (1) year
term unless either party gives at least sixty (60) days prior written notice of
the non-renewal of this Agreement.

2.   SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE SERVICES.  XIMAGE will provide to CUSTOMER during the
term hereof "Software Maintenance Services" which shall include remedial
maintenance service (i.e., error fixing and/or work arounds) for any significant
error, malfunction or defect (collectively in "Error") in the Software so that
the Software will operate in accordance with the specifications set forth in the
related documentation.  Correction of Errors is subject to CUSTOMER's prompt
notification to XIMAGE of the nature and description of the Error which XIMAGE
can replicate and the Error is not caused by the abuse, misuse or neglect of the
products by CUSTOMER or by hardware or software which is not supplied by XIMAGE
hereunder.  In addition, XIMAGE will provide the following as additional
Customer Support Services:

     (a)  Telephone support as reasonably requested by CUSTOMER at the rate of
          $100 per hour for all hours in excess of 40 hours in any one-year
          term;
     (b)  On-site visits to CUSTOMER's sites as determined to be reasonable or
          necessary by XIMAGE for Error correction;
     (c)  Offer and, if requested, install modifications and enhancements to the
          Software which XIMAGE generally makes available to its other customers
          (at no additional Charge) under standard software maintenance
          agreements relating to the Software; and
     (d)  Training for one (1) person per application per year with respect to
          the Software.

     If CUSTOMER requests XIMAGE to perform any other services, the related
terms and conditions shall be based on further separate agreement between the
parties.  Under no circumstances shall this Agreement and the rights and duties
contained herein, be deemed to cover maintenance or support services with
respect to hardware.

3.   PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES.  When XIMAGE provides Software Maintenance
Services which require the use of the hardware portion of equipment which
utilizes the Software (the "Equipment"), CUSTOMER shall make such Equipment
available to XIMAGE at and for reasonable times, and in no event will the
CUSTOMER charge XIMAGE for such use of such Equipment.  All Software Maintenance
Services covered by the Annual Maintenance Charges will be performed during the
regular business hours of XIMAGE (Monday-Friday, exclusive of holidays).  If
Software Maintenance Services are performed outside regular business hours, the
CUSTOMER will pay the additional charges, if any, as are established from time
to time by XIMAGE.

4.   RELOCATION OF EQUIPMENT.  If the CUSTOMER wishes to relocate the Equipment,
CUSTOMER shall give timely notice to XIMAGE, and the continued maintenance of
the relocated Software, if any, shall be subject to further agreement between
authorized representatives of XIMAGE and CUSTOMER.  This Agreement is for the
location described on the reverse side only.

5.   CUSTOMER OBLIGATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  The obligations of XIMAGE to provide
Software Maintenance Services are subject to the CUSTOMER using the Equipment in
accordance with their respective operating manuals and recommended procedures,
and causing proper and recommended Equipment Maintenance Services to be
performed, including selecting a site which complies with the environmental
requirements suggested by the manufacturer of the Equipment or XIMAGE and
utilizing appropriate back-up procedures (no less often than daily) with respect
to the Software and data.

6.   CHARGES.  The CUSTOMER shall pay all charges under this Agreement,
including the total Annual Maintenance Charges set forth on the reverse side
hereof, upon receipt of invoice.  Thereafter, the then applicable Annual
Maintenance Charges shall be invoiced to, and paid by CUSTOMER prior to the
beginning of the next annual maintenance period.  All other charges under this
Agreement shall be invoiced by XIMAGE and shall be due and payable upon receipt
of the invoice.  The Annual Maintenance Charges do not include any federal,
state, county, local, or other taxes, if any.  Any such taxes, excluding taxes
based on net income of XIMAGE, shall be borne by the Customer and paid to XIMAGE
upon invoicing.

7.   NON-DISCLOSURE.  CUSTOMER shall take all reasonable steps necessary to
ensure that the Software, or any portion thereof, is not made available,
transferred or disclosed by CUSTOMER (or by any of its employees or agencies) to
any person other than to CUSTOMER's employees and representatives solely in
connection with CUSTOMER's business or agents or to XIMAGE (and its
representatives).  CUSTOMER agrees not to reverse assemble, reverse compile or
otherwise reverse engineer any of the Software.  CUSTOMER agrees that all of its
employees and agents having access to the Software under this Agreement shall be
informed by CUSTOMER of, and shall observe and perform, the terms of this
Section 7.  The Software is protected by copyright and trade secret rights of
XIMAGE.

8.   INJUNCTIVE RELIEF/TERMINATION.  CUSTOMER acknowledges and agrees that any
violation of the provisions of Section 7 herein by CUSTOMER will result in
irreparable harm to XIMAGE and that money damages would provide inadequate
remedy.  Accordingly, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to
XIMAGE hereunder or at law, XIMAGE shall be entitled to injunctive or other
equitable relief to restrain any such violation and to such other and further
relief as a court may deem proper under the circumstances.  In addition to any
other rights of XIMAGE hereunder, the rights granted CUSTOMER to use the
Software by license or otherwise may be terminated by XIMAGE for any material
breach of Section 7 upon written notice given to CUSTOMER and CUSTOMER shall
return to XIMAGE all of the Software.

9.   INDEMNIFICATION.  CUSTOMER hereby indemnifies and holds XIMAGE harmless
from any and all claims, suits, actions and procedures brought or filed by third
parties and from all damages, penalties, losses costs and expenses (including
without limitation, attorneys' fees) arising out of, or related to, any act or
omission of CUSTOMER and its employees or agents in connection with CUSTOMER's
obligation herein.

     XIMAGE hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold CUSTOMER harmless from any
claim of any third party that any of the Software infringes any United States
patent, copyright, trademark or other property right held by a third party,
provided that XIMAGE is notified promptly by CUSTOMER or any such claim
(including any threatened claim) and XIMAGE shall have had sole control of the
defense with respect to same (including the settlement of such claim).  The
foregoing indemnification by XIMAGE shall not apply with respect to any claim
based, in whole or part, on any modification of the Software made by any person
other than XIMAGE.

10.  TERMINATION.  Without prejudice to any other of its rights or remedies,
either party may elect to terminate the rights and obligations contained in this
Agreement:

     (a)  Upon sixty (60) days' written notice if the other party has failed to
          perform any material obligation required to be performed by it
          pursuant to this Agreement and such failure has not been cured within
          such a sixty (60) day period, or
     (b)  Upon thirty (30) days' written notice if the other party has failed to
          make timely payment of any amounts required to be paid hereunder, or
     (c)  Immediately, (i) if a petition in bankruptcy has been filed by or

              TERMS AND CONDITIONS - HARDWARE MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT

1.   TERM OF AGREEMENT. XImage's obligations hereunder shall become effective
     upon the "Effective Date" (set forth on the reverse side) and, unless
     sooner terminated as provided herein, shall remain in full force
     and effect for at least one year thereafter. XImage will provide to the
     Customer, thirty (30) days prior to the end of the one year term, a
     renewal of this Agreement with XImage's prevailing maintenance fees, for
     the covered items listed on the reverse side, during the renewal period.
     The Customer will accept or reject the renewal Agreement within the
     above stated thirty (30) day period. The renewal rates for the 1993
     Agreement are as stated in Exhibit 9 of the Agreement between XImage and
     the Customer.

2.   HARDWARE MAINTENANCE SERVICE. XImage Shall provide "Covered Maintenance"

     Equipment, Customer shall give timely notice to XImage and continued
     maintenance of the Equipment shall be subject to further agreement between
     authorized representatives of XImage and Customer relative to any increases
     resulting from the relocation. Under no circumstances shall this Agreement,
     or the rights and duties contained herein, be deemed to cover maintenance
     or [ILLEGIBLE] services with respect to software (exclusive of firmware).
     All maintenance charges are subject to increase or decrease upon addition
     or deletion of the Equipment, or [ILLEGIBLE] or attachments thereto.
     XImage shall have full and free access to the Equipment in order to
     provide services thereon.

3.   COVERED MAINTENANCE. During the term hereof, XImage shall maintain
     Customer's Equipment in normal operating condition by providing

     Equipment during XImage's normal working hours, Monday through Friday,
     exclusive of holidays, unless otherwise specified on the reverse side
     (collectively "Covered Maintenance").
     (a)  PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE. Preventative Maintenance is based on the
          specific needs of each unit of equipment as determined by XImage,
          including adjustments repairs and replacements necessitated by normal
          usage of the Equipment. Preventative Maintenance shall be conducted at
          times of Remedial Service or at other times scheduled by XImage with
          approval of the Customer.
     (b)  REMEDIAL SERVICE. Upon receipt of notice of failure of the Equipment
          to function properly while in normal usage, XImage will promptly
          assign a service representative to make such repairs (including the
          replacement of components on an exchange basis) and adjustments to
          place the Equipment in normal operating condition. XImage will use its
          best efforts to have a service representative at the user's facility
          in the minimum practical time after receipt of notice of failure,
          giving consideration to the location of the Equipment and the nature
          of the problem.
     (c)  EXCLUSIONS FROM COVERED MAINTENANCE. Covered Maintenance does not
          include:
          (1)  Maintenance of accessories, supplies, attachments, machines or
               other devices that are not specifically identified as covered
               herein.
          (2)  Repair of damage caused by other than normal operating
               conditions or events (including without limitation, resulting
               from accident, transportation, neglect, misuse, lightning,

               or humidity control, telephone equipment or communication
               lines failure, failure of foreign interconnect equipment, use
               of external materials or equipment which does not adhere to
               XImage specifications, or causes arising from other than
               normal use), alterations in the Equipment made by persons
               other than XImage, acts of God, or governments, the connection
               of Equipment by mechanical or electrical means to another
               machine or device not provided by XImage, or the physical
               inaccessibility of the Equipment.
          (3)  Any services in respect of, or caused by, non-XImage provided
               software, or any repair of any damage to the Equipment caused by
               such software.
          (4)  Reconditioning required due to age, duty cycle, or excessive use
               of the Equipment, normal repair and parts replacement cannot keep
               Equipment in normal operating condition.
          (5)  Replacement of supplies or expendable parts such as but not

4.   BILLABLE CALL MAINTENANCE. If the Customer requests Billable Call
     Maintenance, such service will be provided at XImage's applicable standard
     time and materials market rates and on the terms then in effect. Market
     rates based on time shall not exceed $125 per hour. Charges for Billable
     Call Maintenance shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days of
     receipt of an invoice therefore after the completion of the installation or
     other service. As used herein, "Billable Call Maintenance" shall mean any
     maintenance other than Covered Maintenance, which XImage agrees to perform
     and includes, but not limited to, the following types of maintenance:
     (a)  Work requested by Customer and performed outside of XImage's normal
          working hours, as set out on the reverse side of this Agreement;

     (e)  Specific requests by Customer for maintenance which are in addition to
          Covered Maintenance services and parts; and
     (f)  Providing enhancements or upgrades of the Equipment.
5.   PARTS. In the case of Billable Call Maintenance, replacement of
     unserviceable parts shall be made at XImage's replacement part prices
     current at the time of replacement, unless the maintenance involving
     replacement would be Covered Maintenance but is Billable Call Maintenance
     solely because of the hour of the day when performed, in which event the
     maintenance shall include parts replacement as in the case of Covered
     Maintenance. All replaced parts become the property of XImage.
6.   TAXES. All maintenance charges are exclusive of applicable federal, state
     or local taxes; Customer shall pay, or reimburse XImage, any such taxes
     upon receipt of invoices submitted to Customer by XImage.
7.   TRAVEL AND OTHER CHARGES. There is a minimum charge of two hours including
     travel time for service provided outside the scope of Covered Maintenance.
     Customer shall pay for travel time and travel expense portal to/from portal
     (i.e. XImage's to/from Customer's location) in connection with all Billable
     Call Maintenance. Travel time will be charged to Customer at the hourly
     Billable Call rate then in effect for the hour or day the travel is
     performed. Travel expenses will be charged as incurred and includes parking
     and other out-of-pocket costs plus mileage at the then current rates.
8.   PAYMENT FOR SERVICE. Upon receipt of invoice Customer hereby agrees to pay
     the Annual Hardware Maintenance Charges set forth on the reverse side. The

     payment shall be due within thirty (30) days of receipt of such invoice.
     All other payments due hereunder shall be due and payable within thirty
     (30) days of receipt of the invoice for services rendered. Failure to remit
     payment when due for amounts invoiced shall relieve XImage of any
     obligations hereunder. In addition to any other remedies allowed by law,
     XImage shall have the right to invoice, and Customer agrees to pay,
     applicable late charges.
9.   INSTALLATION CHANGES. All installation changes relating to enhancements
     available to purchasers of Equipment shall be made available to Customer at
     XImage's normal prices, and on XImage's normal terms and conditions for
     such changes. If Customer purchases the enhancement, within thirty (30)
     days after requested by XImage, Customer agrees to provide XImage with
     access to all Equipment for installation of such changes.
10.  CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITY. Customer shall be responsible for (a) changing
     ribbons, paper and similar expandable items; (b) clearing paper jams; (c)

     either party may elect to terminate the rights and obligations contained in
     this Agreement:
     (a)  Upon sixty (60) days' written notice if the other party has failed to
          perform any material obligation required to be performed by it
          pursuant to this Agreement and such failure has not been cured within
          such a sixty (60) day period, or
     (b)  Upon thirty (30) days' written notice if the other party has failed to
          make timely payment of any amounts required to be paid hereunder, or
     (c)  Immediately, (i) if a petition in bankruptcy has been filed by or
          against the other party, (ii) if the other party has made an
          assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iii) if a receiver has been
          appointed or applied for by the other party, or (iv) if the other
          party has admitted in writing its inability to pay its debts as they
          become due and payable, or

          in an amount to cover the cost of the maintenance services, then the
          Customer may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement on 90
          days written notice without further obligation to the Customer. In the
          event this Agreement is terminated by the Customer, pursuant to this
          paragraph, XImage may continue to provide maintenance services, on

          and XImage.
12.  LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY. Customer agrees that XImage's total liability to
     Customer for any damages suffered on account of, or arising out of,
     negligently performed maintenance services under this Maintenance Agreement
     shall be limited to an amount not to exceed the basic Annual Maintenance
     charges.
     IN NO EVENT SHALL XIMAGE BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER FOR ANY INCIDENTAL,
     CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION,
     DAMAGES ARISING FROM LOSS OF BUSINESS, DATA, PROFITS OR GOODWILL) INCURRED
     OR SUFFERED BY CUSTOMER IN CONNECTION WITH, OR ARISING OUT OF, THIS

     the office nearest the Customer for decision in any matter in accordance
     with the then applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association or
     any successor organization. The determination of the arbitrators shall not
     be subject to judicial review, provided however, that any award or
     determination rendered by the arbitrators may be enforced in any court of
     jurisdiction.
14.  FORCE MAJEURE. XImage shall not be liable for any failure or delay in
     performing its obligation hereunder due to any cause beyond its reasonable

     transportation delays, shortage of raw material, energy or machinery, acts
     of God, government or the judiciary.

     representatives, successors and permitted assignees.

<PAGE>

5.  PERFORMANCE PERIOD

    The Contractor shall install the computer system and software listed in
    Exhibit A ready for use according to the implementation plan specified in
    Exhibit C. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE IN THIS CONTRACT.

6.  SITE PREPARATION

    a.    If the system to be installed requires special environmental
          considerations, Contractor shall provide site preparation
          specifications for system listed in Exhibit A within a reasonable
          time upon request by the County, unless such specifications have
          been included in the Contractor's proposal. These specifications
          shall be in such detail as to ensure that the system, if installed
          according to these specifications, shall operate efficiently, from
          an environmental point of view and properly from a functional point
          of view.

    b.    The County may prepare a site plan showing the location of each
          item or system listed in Exhibit A and detailing the associated
          electrical power and environmental control facilities. If
          requested, the Contractor will review and comment on the adequacy
          of the County's plan, and shall be permitted free access to the
          site for this purpose with prior notification and consent from
          Sheriff's ISB (Information Service Bureau) personnel as well as the
          local site Administrator.

          Alternatively, the Contractor may prepare the site plan, and will
          be permitted free access to the site for this purpose so long as
          the Contractor is accompanied by personnel from the Sheriff's
          Information Services Bureau (ISB) or their representative. Prior to
          the Contractor being given access, ISB personnel must have been
          given adequate notice to secure permission from the site
          Administrator.

    c.    The County will cause the site to be prepared in accordance with
          the Contractor's written minimum site and environmental
          specifications that will be provided to the County no less than two
          weeks in advance of any work being conducted except as otherwise
          agreed upon by the County, unless the Contractor has agreed to be
          responsible for such site preparation, on or before the Facility
          Readiness Date specified in Exhibit A.

    d.    Any subsequent alterations or modifications to the site which are
          directly attributable to incomplete or erroneous specifications
          provided by the Contractor and which involve additional expense
          shall be made at the expense of the Contractor, to the extent that
          such costs would not have been incurred had the complete and/or
          correct specifications been initially provided.

7.  INSTALLATION AND DELIVERY DATES

    a.    Installation

          County is responsible, for providing access to, and preparation of,
          the installation site(s) as described in the Installation
          Procedures set forth in Exhibit-B of this Agreement. County also
          agrees to complete these preparations at least five (5) days prior
          to the date installation of the System commences and confirm that
          all site(s) are ready for installation.


                                       2

<PAGE>

         Contractor will be responsible for the delivery and installation of
         the Crime Capture Photo Imaging System, including computer server,
         workstation(s), imaging equipment (camera, remote pan & tilt, etc.),
         printers and all software provided by the Contractor.

    b.   Delivery dates

         Installation will commence in accordance with the Implementation
         Plan, Exhibit-C. The Contractor shall install the System (listed in
         Exhibit A) ready for use on or before the Installation Date
         specified in Exhibit C. Time is of the essence in this contract.

         Installation of the System Hardware is completed when the hardware
         is functioning in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.

         Installation of the System is complete when Contractor completes
         functional hardware and software testing and states in writing to
         County that the System has been successfully installed.

8.  ACCEPTANCE/ACCEPTANCE TESTING

    a.   All system components will be signed for by authorized County
         personnel. Such acknowledgment of receipt will be given when system
         components are received without evidence of mishandling. This step
         will provide proof of delivery of all contract deliverable items.

    b.   When each deliverable item is installed, it will be checked for
         completeness and when stand-alone operation is practical, such an
         operational test will be made. Authorized representatives of Ventura
         County will sign off this test step. Non-system items such as
         documentation, training materials, etc., will be acknowledged as
         received.

    c.   Acceptance Testing-Upon completion of installation, Contractor will
         conduct a demonstration of the total system operation. This
         demonstration will be observed and successful compliance with the
         contract provisions will be acknowledged by authorized
         representatives of the Ventura County Sheriff's ISB staff and the
         Sheriff's Department Project Manager or his/her designee.
         Installation of the System is deemed complete, when the Ventura
         County Sheriff's Department operational personnel and other local
         site personnel have been trained, and the Ventura County Sheriff's
         Department Project Manager and the Ventura County ISB Staff agrees
         that the System is functioning reliably.

         County will immediately commence a 30 (thirty)-day period of
         acceptance testing. Acceptance testing is intended to ensure that
         the system provided hereunder operates in substantial accord with
         Contractor's technical specifications, is adequate to perform as
         warranted by Contractor, and evidences a satisfactory level of
         performance reliability, prior to its acceptance by the County.

         The system acceptance-testing period will be considered successful
         if the requirements defined in the System Acceptance Testing,
         Exhibit-E, are satisfied.

                                       3

<PAGE>

         County agrees to accept the System after the Ventura County
         Sheriff's Department Project Manager or his/her designee has agreed
         that the System has functioned reliably for thirty (30) consecutive
         days of acceptance testing.

         If the Acceptance test is not successfully completed, the Contractor
         shall be notified immediately of the failure, with written
         confirmation to be provided in not more than five working days.
         Control of the system shall immediately be given to the Contractor.
         The system shall not be deemed to be accepted until the Contractor
         re-certifies, and the Ventura County Sheriff's Department Project
         Manager or his/her designee agrees, that the System is ready to begin
         acceptance testing once more.

         If the system does not meet the standards of performance discussed
         in Paragraph 11a and 11b within ninety days after the start of the
         acceptance testing, the County shall have the option to request a
         replacement system, extend the performance period or terminate the
         order (or portion thereof) and seek relief as provided in Paragraph
         28, "Rights and Remedies of County for Default". The County's option
         shall remain in effect until such time as the system meets the
         performance criteria, or 180 consecutive days after the start of the
         acceptance testing, whichever occurs first.

         System shall not be accepted by the County and no final charges
         associated with such system shall be paid by the County until the
         system has satisfactorily completed the acceptance tests.

         Immediately upon successful completion of the acceptance tests, the
         County shall notify the Contractor in writing of acceptance of the
         system and authorize payment as listed in Exhibit A attached hereto.

9.  TRAINING

    The training of County and local law enforcement staff at each site shall
    be the responsibility of Contractor and shall include the training program
    presented in the Crime Capture System Training Outline, Exhibit D. The
    Sheriff's Department in cooperation with other local law enforcement
    agencies within Ventura County shall be responsible for identifying
    personnel requiring training and ensuring that they are available for
    scheduled training.

    Training shall take place on dates mutually agreed upon by the parties.
    The training schedule presented in the Crime Capture System Training
    Outline, Exhibit D, may be revised only upon written request by County
    and acceptance of that request by Contractor. All training provided
    directly by Contractor shall be conducted on a functional training
    system located at various County site(s). All handout and reference
    training materials will be furnished by the Contractor to each trainee at
    the time of training.

    All training activities may be video taped at County's expense for future
    in-house training. Such videotapes shall not be sold, loaned or made
    available for use to other than Ventura County Sheriff's Department staff
    and other local law enforcement staff within Ventura County as needed for
    training.

                                       4


<PAGE>

     All Contractor personnel costs related to the provision of training
     services for training County and other local law enforcement staff for
     the training days specified in Crime Capture System Training Outline,
     Exhibit D are included in the purchase price of the SYSTEM, per Contractor
     Cost Proposal, Exhibit A, County expenses include, but are not limited to,
     the provision of adequate classroom space, training workstation and network
     equipment, and for video taping of training events.

     Contractor provided training shall be sufficient to allow County to meet
     its obligations and responsibilities with respect to operation and
     maintenance under County's obligations and responsibilities for maintenance
     support as defined within the Contractor's Hardware and Software
     Maintenance Agreement, entered into separately.

     The Contractor agrees to provide informal, "hands on" instruction to
     Ventura County Sheriff ISB personnel in the operation of the System, at no
     additional charge to the County, at mutually agreeable times prior to, or
     subsequent to, system installation for the purposes of familiarization
     with administrative system operation.

     Contractor shall not be responsible for providing additional training,
     if County's users fail to achieve competence due to absence, turnover,
     failure to complete adequate preparation and practice exercises, or due to
     demonstrably deficient native ability or qualifications.

     The County may request additional training days. Training, if needed
     within 6 months of acceptance, will be provided at the rate of $1000.00
     per day, including expenses. Thereafter the County can request additional
     training at the Contractor's on-going ratio.

10.  DOCUMENTATION

     Contractor shall develop and provide, at no additional charge, in both
     Office '97 Microsoft Word electronic (2 copies) and printed format (1 copy
     per workstation), procedural manuals containing all procedures, methods,
     documentation requirements, and techniques necessary for the successful use
     and operation of the SYSTEM. Contractor agrees that the County may
     reproduce this material for its internal use on an unlimited basis.

11.  WARRANTIES

     a.   Hardware

          Contractor warrants that all major components of the System
          Hardware are new at the time of installation and will operate in
          conformity with its documentation provided by Contractor for a period
          of one(1) year after acceptance. In the event the System Hardware
          fails during this period, Contractor, at its sole option, will
          repair, modify or replace the failed component(s) in a timely manner
          at no additional cost to the County.

     b.   Software

          Contractor warrants that the Software will operate in conformity
          with its documentation. In the event of any non-conformity for a
          period of one (1) year after acceptance, Contractor will use all
          commercially reasonable efforts to correct the problem by
          modification, enhancement or other repair so that the Software
          conforms to its documentation.

                                            5

<PAGE>

          Contractor further warrants that:

     c.   It has title to the Software, that may be provided under this
          contract, and/or the authority to grant licenses to use the third
          party software.

     d.   Its work hereunder shall be of professional quality and performed
          consistent with generally accepted industry standards.

     e.   There exists no actual or potential conflict of interest concerning
          the Services to be performed under this agreement. Contractor
          represents that performance under this agreement does not require the
          breach of any agreement or obligation to keep in confidence the
          proprietary information of another party.

     f.   Upon completion of the installation of all sites, the System as
          installed by Contractor, including hardware and software components,
          when operational, will meet or exceed NIST, CAL DOJ, and CAL ID
          mug-shot photographic standards.

     g.   The hardware/software supplied hereunder shall provide fault-free
          performance and fault-free result in the processing date and date
          related data (including, but not limited to calculating, comparing
          and sequencing) of any hardware, software and firmware products
          delivered by Contractor and services provided under this contract,
          individually or in combination, as the case may be from the effective
          date of this contract. Also, the supplier warrants the year 2000
          calculations will be recognized and accommodated and will not in
          any way, result in hardware, software or firmware failure. The County,
          at its solo option, may require the Contractor, at any time, to
          demonstrate the procedures it intends to follow in order to comply
          with all the obligations contained herein.

          The obligations contained herein apply to products provided by the
          Contractor, its subcontractor or any third party involved in the
          creation of the products to be delivered to the County under this
          contract. Failure to comply with any of the obligations contained
          herein, may result in the County, availing itself of all its rights
          under the law and under this contract including, but not limited to,
          its right pertaining to termination or default.

          The warrants contained herein are separate and discrete from any
          other warranties specified in this contract, and are not subject to
          any disclaimer or warranty or limitation of the suppliers liability
          which may be specified in this contract, its appendices, its
          schedules, its annexes or any document incorporated in this contract
          by reference. Y2K compliance problems shall not be considered an act
          of God.

12.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

     Contractor's maximum liability to the County arising for any reason
     relating to Contractor's performance of the Contract, or any amendment
     thereto, shall be limited to the amount of fees paid to the Contractor for
     its performance. Neither party shall have any liability to the other party
     for any lost profits or special, incidental, indirect or consequential
     damages, even if such party has been advised of the possibility of such
     damages.

                                          6

13.  COUNTY MODIFICATION OF EQUIPMENT

     The County may connect equipment manufactured or supplied by other
     companies to the System, including peripheral equipment, computers,
     communications equipment, and terminal devices, provided however, that
     Contractor will not be held responsible for any damage and/or downtime
     that may occur. Contractor shall provide the County with a list of
     replacement equipment acceptable and certified by the Contractor and
     Ventura County Sheriff's Department. For equipment not listed,
     Contractor shall within 15 days of request, notify the County of whether
     such equipment is likely to interfere with system operation or
     Contractor ability to perform maintenance. In emergency situations
     Contractor shall provide a response within 48 hours.

14.  PATENT AND COPYRIGHT PROTECTION

     The Contractor, at its own expense, shall defend any action brought
     against the County to the extent that such action is based upon a claim
     that the system supplied by the Contractor, or the operation of such
     system pursuant to a current version of Contractor-supplied operating
     software, infringes a United States patent or copyright.

     The Contractor shall pay those costs and damages finally awarded against
     the County in any such action. Such defense and payment shall be
     conditioned on the following:

     a.   That the Contractor shall be notified within a reasonable time in
          writing by the County of any notice of such claim; and,

     b.   That the Contractor shall have the sole control of the defense of
          any action on such claim and all negotiations for its settlement or
          compromise.

     Should the system, or the operation thereof, become, or in the
     Contractor's opinion are likely to become, the subject of a claim of
     infringement of a United States patent or copyright, the County shall
     permit the Contractor at its option and expense either to procure for
     the County the right to continue using the system, or to replace or
     modify the same so that they become non-infringing.

     If, in the sole opinion of the County, the return of such infringing
     system makes the retention of other items of system acquired from the
     Contractor under this contract impractical, the County shall then have
     the option of terminating the contract, or applicable portions thereof,
     without penalty or termination charge. The Contractor agrees to take
     back such system and refund any sums the County has paid Contractor less
     any reasonable amount for use or damage. Such indemnity by the
     Contractor as to use of such system shall not apply to any infringement
     arising out of the use or in combination with other items where such
     infringement would not have occurred in the normal use for which the
     system was developed.

15.  SYSTEM MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT SERVICES

     Commencing 90 days after final acceptance the County may acquire
     Hardware/Software Support Services. Such support shall be provided in
     accordance with Contractor's standard Software Support Services Terms
     and Conditions entered into as a separate agreement. Support services
     include fixes to errors, updates, enhancements and technical support.
     Contractor shall provide maintenance and support services for 90 days
     after final acceptance for no additional fee.

                                         7

<PAGE>

     Support fees shall be based on 15% of the hardware and software costs
     per year and shall be firm for a period of 5 years.

16.  FORCE MAJEURE

     Except for defaults of subcontractors, neither party shall be
     responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts
     beyond the control of the offending party.

     Such acts shall include but shall not be limited to acts of God, fire,
     flood, earthquake, other natural disaster, nuclear accident, strike,
     lockout, riot, freight embargo, public regulated utility, or
     governmental statutes or regulations superimposed after the fact.

     If a delay or failure in performance by the Contractor arises out of a
     default of its subcontractor, and if such detail arises out of causes
     beyond the control of both the Contractor and subcontractor, and without
     the fault or negligence of either of them, the Contractor shall not be
     liable for damages of such delay or failure, unless the supplies or
     services to be furnished by the subcontractor were obtainable from other
     sources in sufficient time to permit the Contractor to meet the required
     performance schedule.

     Contractor under this contract at any time during County's usual working

     Wilson, or his/her authorized representative.

23.  EQUAL OPPORTUNITY

                   EXHIBIT E - ACCEPTANCE TESTING CRITERIA

PROCEDURES

Section I:    Acceptance of Plan

              This plan has been mutually agreed upon by both Ventura County
              and ImageWare Software Inc. Project Managers as to it's
              content, format, procedures, and terms.

Section II:   Adherence to Plan

              It is imperative that Ventura County and ImageWare Software
              Inc. Information Services closely adhere to this plan to test
              the system fully. Extensions to the test period will be granted
              to Ventura County if the tests fail to demonstrate that
              ImageWare's photo imaging system is not operating in a reliable
              manner as determined by the Ventura County Project Manager or
              his designee. If during the test period, successful completion
              of a given measurement is compromised due to fault of the
              county, the county shall have 5 business days to correct the
              problem, if the problem cannot be corrected in that time frame
              that measurement shall be waived by the County for Final
              Acceptance purposes.

Section III:  Responsibility for Testing

              Ventura County will perform all testing prescribed herein with
              ImageWare Software Inc.'s assistance. ImageWare Software Inc.
              representatives will monitor all tests.

Section IV:   Testing Procedure

              Contained in Exhibit E are Acceptance Criteria for each of the
              system components that will be tested for Acceptance. Each such
              system component will be tested for Acceptance as the
              installation of that component is completed. ImageWare Software
              Inc. will notify Ventura County in writing that the applicable
              system component is ready for Acceptance testing.

              When a test is completed successfully, Ventura County's Project
              Managers will sign and date the Acceptance Criteria form and
              return it promptly to ImageWare Software Inc. In the event that
              a test is not successful, Ventura County will complete a notice
              of Acceptance Test Failure ("Notice") and deliver such notice
              to ImageWare Software Inc. immediately. The Notice shall
              identify each and every failure of the test. ImageWare Software
              Inc. will then remedy the condition and notify Ventura County
              of the availability of the system component for re-test,
              thereupon Acceptance tests will be deemed to have been
              completed successfully within five (5) business days of
              initiation of said test, unless ImageWare Software Inc. has
              received a notice within said period.

                            Design, Construction and Implementation

                                     SECTION 1.0
                           GENERAL INFORMATION AND SCOPE OF WORK

1.1     INTRODUCTION
        THE COUNTY OF VENTURA (HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS COUNTY) INVITES
        YOUR ORGANIZATION TO SUBMIT A WRITTEN PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE DESIGN,
        CONSTRUCTION, IMPLEMENTATION AND RELATED SERVICES FOR A NEW PHOTO
        IMAGING SYSTEM FOR THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, WHICH WILL REPLACE OUR
        EXISTING SYSTEM. PROPOSALS SHALL BE DUE NO LATER THAN 4:00 P.M. ON
        THURSDAY, MARCH 11, 1999. MANDATORY PRE-PROPOSAL CONFERENCE IS
        SCHEDULED FOR FEBRUARY 19, 1999.

        The County will receive proposals from firms having specific
        experience and qualifications in the Photo Imaging arena. For
        consideration proposals for the project must contain evidence of the
        offeror's experience and abilities in the specified area and other
        disciplines directly related to the proposed services. All offerors
        shall provide profiles and resumes of the staff to be assigned to the
        project. Offerors should have demonstrated ability, within the past
        three years, in at least two comparable jurisdictions with a
        population of at least 150,000.

        Due to the nature of the equipment and the necessary interfacing that
        is required, the County is seeking a vendor who can provide and
        install a turnkey system including all software, hardware, labor,
        materials and coordination between all agencies. HOWEVER, OFFERORS
        ARE ADVISED THAT THE COUNTY MAY ELECT TO AWARD SEPARATE CONTRACTS FOR
        EACH COMPONENT, OR PURCHASE HARDWARE/EQUIPMENT IN THE OPEN MARKET, IF
        IT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE COUNTY TO DO SO.

        The desired completion period from date of "notice to proceed" is 90
        days, including legacy photo file conversion and training. This does
        not include the 60 (sixty) day shake down period.

        The following areas have been identified as justification for
        prompting the Ventura County Sheriff's Department, in cooperation
        with the other local law enforcement agencies, to consider upgrading
        or replacing the current system.

                                    Page 1

        -     Not Year-2000 compliant.

        -     Outdated hardware architecture.

        -     Current system does not provide for an on-line back-up solution.

        -     Not compatible with most drivers (i.e., printers, video cards)
              on the market.

1.2     PRE-PROPOSAL CONFERENCE

        A MANDATORY PRE-PROPOSAL CONFERENCE AND JOB-WALK WILL BE HELD AT 9:30
        A.M. ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1999. VENDORS SHALL MEET AT THE VENTURA
        COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER, SERVICE COMPLEX, PURCHASING SERVICES, 800
        SOUTH VICTORIA AVENUE, VENTURA, CALIFORNIA. (SEE EXHIBIT 'A',
        GOVERNMENT CENTER MAP TO LOCATE THE SERVICE COMPLEX.) THE PURPOSE OF
        THIS CONFERENCE IS TO CLARIFY THE COUNTY'S NEEDS AND TO ANSWER
        QUESTIONS RELATING TO THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) REQUIREMENTS.

1.3     BACKGROUND

        In 1993, a committee was formed to study and formulate a strategy to
        purchase a Photo Imaging System. The proposal for installing this
        new, state-of-the-art Photo Imaging System was adopted with system
        implementation in 1995. The system executes on a host server located
        in the Sheriff's Department Emergency Operations Center networked to
        other local law enforcement agencies within Ventura County. Since
        implementation, a total of 12 retrieval stations and 9 capture
        stations have been installed at the following sites:

1.4    PHOTO IMAGING SYSTEM PHASES OVERVIEW

       The proposed Photo Imaging System will incorporate the areas for
       improvement listed in Section 1.1 above, as well as the overall needs
       established by the Ventura County Sheriff's Department and the other
       Law Enforcement Agencies they serve.

       This overview is to define the development phases and major
       deliverables that are expected in the development of the new Photo
       Imaging System. This overview will serve as the basis for the project
       statement of work. The major deliverables, and others defined by the
       vendor, will be tied directly to the project schedule and subsequently
       reflected in the payment schedule. The proposed development will
       include:

           a)   Project Planning
           b)   Detailed Design
           c)   Construction
           d)   Documentation and Training
           e)   User Acceptance Testing
           f)   60 day Final Acceptance Test/Implementation
           g)   Data Conversion

                a) PROJECT PLANNING
                The successful offerors will define the individual tasks,
                dates, hours, and resources associated with this project. The
                vendor will meet with representatives from the Ventura
                County Sheriff's Department Information Services Bureau and
                the Ventura County Information Systems Department to plan and
                coordinate the implementation of the new Photo Imaging
                System. The objectives, risks, constraints, assumptions and
                controls (Change Control Management) will be identified and
                documented by the vendor and approved by the County Project
                Manager. The Critical Success Factors will be developed by
                the vendor and approved by the Project Manager that will be
                used to measure acceptable performance and completion of
                selected tasks and milestones.

                Successful Offeror will be required to submit written
                semi-weekly reports to the Ventura County Project Manager or
                his representative. The report will cover the progress of
                work being performed, milestones attained, resources
                expended, problems encountered and corrective action taken.

                Photo Imaging System with the approval of the County Project
                Manager.

                c) CONSTRUCTION
                The functional prototype will be constructed and reviewed by
                the users. Any changes and modifications will be identified
                and earlier phases revisited as necessary to incorporate
                these changes. Conversion programs will be developed in
                accordance with a Conversion Plan that the vendor will
                produce and must be approved by the County Project Manager.
                Performance engineering will be applied where needed to
                maintain response time expectations. The vendor will perform
                testing to the satisfaction of the County. Lastly, the vendor
                will make the functional prototype operational (ready for
                acceptance testing) and provide documentation as to how they
                propose to implement the system (i.e. parallel approach to
                current system). Vendor will document all change and
                modification requests and continue to apply change control
                management.

                d) DOCUMENTATION AND TRAINING
                Vendor will finalize user manual, system manual, on-line help
                text, and user training documentation. Written documentation
                will be professionally prepared and reproduced. Vendor will
                conduct user training; 'train the trainer' and systems
                training.

                e) USER ACCEPTANCE TESTING
                Vendor will load system with test cases as outlined by the
                Project Manager. This will be a combination of electronically
                converted data and manually entered data. The vendor will
                exercise test scripts and validate results against
                predetermined results. Vendor will obtain user acceptance via
                the County Project Manager before continuing. Once accepted
                by the user, the operational system will be ready for
                interfacing and testing.

                f) FINAL ACCEPTANCE TEST/IMPLEMENTATION
                The vendor will load converted production data. This will be
                a combination of electronically converted data and some
                manually entered data. Vendor will exercise Implementation
                Plan and begin Final Acceptance Test for a 60-day period. The
                vendor will obtain final user acceptance through the County
                Project Manager.

        a.     VALIDATION

               Proposals will be checked for the information required to
               conform with this RFP. Absence of required information may be
               cause for rejection.

        b.     EVALUATION

               The successful offeror shall be chosen in accordance with, but
               not limited to, the following criteria:

               1.     PROVEN PERFORMANCE

                      The offeror's background, experience, and stability of
                      their firm will be assessed. The evaluation will focus
                      on the firm's record of successful service and support
                      to accounts of comparable size and environment. The
                      ability of the offeror will be evaluated in terms of
                      product resources, technical resources, staffing, staff
                      experience and facilities.

                      Client references will be contacted and their responses
                      will become a part of the award review process.

               2.     SUPPORT

                      Emphasis will be placed on the ability of the offeror
                      to service and support the needs of the County.
                      Organizational structure, staffing plan and offeror's
                      method for meeting the requirements of this RFP in the
                      most efficient manner will be an important
                      consideration.

               3.     REQUIREMENT/SPECIFICATIONS

                                        Page 15
<PAGE>

                      The ability to meet the product specifications outlined
                      herein.

               4.     PRICE PERFORMANCE

                      Price is considered secondary to the above factors for
                      award in determining the most advantageous proposal
                      being offered to the County. Price will be evaluated by
                      a price analysis, which is defined as price
                      reasonableness for work performed. Price will be a
                      factor when proposals ranked under the above factors
                      are considered acceptable and fall within a competitive
                      range.

2.9     PRESENTATIONS

        Offerors may be invited to make oral presentations to County and City
        personnel. Due to the time frames associated with the RFP response,
        offerors should be prepared to make oral presentations on short
        notice. The offeror's representative(s) attending the oral
        presentation should be qualified to respond to questions related to
        system planning, design, construction and implementation.

2.10    SITE VISITS

        The County reserves the right to schedule site visits to offeror's
        facilities or a current operational site in order to assess the
        capability and ability of the offeror to fulfill the contract.

2.11    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

        If during the evaluation process, the County is unable to determine
        an offeror's ability to perform, the County has the option of
        requesting any additional information which the County deems
        necessary to determine the offeror's ability. The offeror will be
        notified and permitted five working days to comply with any such
        request.

2.12    ERRORS/DEFECTS IN PROPOSALS

        If discrepancies between sections or other errors are found in a
        proposal, the County may reject the proposal; however, the County
        may, at its sole option, correct any arithmetical errors in price.

        The County may waive any immaterial deviation or defect in a
        proposal. The County's waiver of an immaterial deviation or defect
        shall in no way modify the RFP documents or excuse the offeror from
        full compliance with the RFP requirements, if awarded a contract.

<PAGE>

2.13    AWARD

        Award will be by means of a written agreement with the successful
        offeror. Award will be made to the offeror(s) whose proposal is the
        most advantageous to the County from the standpoint of quality,
        service, previous experience, price, ability to deliver or for any
        other reason deemed by the purchasing agent to be determined in the
        best interest of the County and as such will not be determined by
        price alone.

        The final award of a contract is subject to approval by the Ventura
        County R.A.N. Board and the Ventura County Board of Supervisors. The
        awarding of the contract is subject to approval as well as the
        availability of funds.

        While the County intends to enter a contract for these services, it
        will not be bound to do so. The County reserves the right to reject
        any or all proposals.

        The County shall be the sole judge of the successful offers
        hereunder. The County reserves the right to award a contract to other
        than the offeror submitting the lowest total price and to negotiate
        with any or all offerors. Offerors are advised that it is possible
        that an award may be made without discussion or any contact
        concerning the proposals received. Accordingly, proposals should
        contain the most favorable terms from a price and technical
        standpoint, which the vendor can submit to the County. DO NOT ASSUME
        that you will be contacted or afforded an opportunity to clarify,
        discuss, or revise your proposal.

          considerations, Contractor shall provide site preparation
          specifications for system listed in Exhibit   within a reasonable
          time upon request by the County, unless such specifications have
          been included in the Contractor's proposal. These specifications
          shall be in such detail as to ensure that the system, if installed
          according to these specifications, shall operate efficiently, from
          an environmental point of view and properly from a functional point
          of view.

     b.   The County may prepare a site plan showing the location of each
          item of system listed in Exhibit   and detailing the associated
          electrical power and environmental control facilities. If requested,

          provided by the Contractor and which involve additional expense
          shall be made at the expense of the Contractor, to the extent that
          such costs would not have been incurred had the complete and/or
          correct specifications been initially provided.

<PAGE>

3.9   PATENT AND COPYRIGHT PROTECTION

      The Contractor, at is own expense, shall defend any action brought
      against the County to the extent that such action is based upon a claim
      that the hardware/software or "system" supplied by the Contractor, or
      the operation of such system pursuant to a current version of
      Contractor-supplied operating software, infringes a United States
      patent or copyright.

      The Contractor shall pay those costs and damages finally awarded
      against the County in any such action. Such defense and payment shall
      be conditioned on the following:

      a.  That the Contractor shall be notified within a reasonable time in
          writing by the County of any notice of such claim; and,

      b.  That the Contractor shall have the sole control of the defense of
          any action on such claim and all negotiations for its settlement or
          compromise.

      Should the system, or the operation thereof, become, or in the
      Contractor's opinion are likely to become, the subject of a claim of
      infringement of a United States patent or copyright, the County shall
      permit the Contractor at its option and expense either to procure for
      the County the right to continue using the system, or to replace or
      modify the same so that they become non-infringing.

      If, in the sole opinion of the County, the return of such infringing
      system makes the retention of other items of system acquired from the
      Contractor under this contract impractical, the County shall then have
      the option of terminating the contract, or applicable portions thereof,
      without penalty or termination charge. The Contractor agrees to take
      back such system and refund any sums the County has paid Contractor
      less any reasonable amount for use or damage. Such indemnity by the
      Contractor as to use of such system shall not apply to any infringement
      arising out of the use or in combination with other items where such
      infringement would not have occurred in the normal use for which the
      system was developed.

3.10  RIGHTS IN DATA

      The title to all original written material including programs and other
      programming documentation originated and prepared pursuant to this
      contract shall belong exclusively to the COUNTY OF VENTURA. No
      documents prepared pursuant to this agreement or any modification
      thereof will be copyrighted by the Contractor or by the County.

3.11  TITLE TO EQUIPMENT

      Title to the EQUIPMENT (IF ORDERED HEREUNDER) shall remain in the
      Contractor until such time as the full purchase price and applicable
      taxes are paid to the Contractor.

      Except for defaults of subcontractors, neither party shall be
      responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts
      beyond the control of the offending party.

      flood, earthquake, other natural disaster, nuclear accident, strike,
      lockout, riot, freight embargo, public regulated utility, or
      governmental statutes or regulations superimposed after the fact.

      If a delay or failure in performance by the Contractor arises out of a
      default of its subcontractor, and if such default arises out of causes
      beyond the control of both the Contractor and subcontractor, and
      without the fault or negligence of either of them, the Contractor shall
      not be liable for damages of such delay or failure, unless the supplies
      or services to be furnished by the subcontractor were obtainable from
      other sources in sufficient time to permit the Contractor to meet the
      required performance schedule.

3.13  INDEMNIFICATION/HOLD HARMLESS

      The Contractor will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the County of
      Ventura, its officers, agents, employees or representatives from all

      arising from or related to the performance of this agreement, including

County of Ventura
General Services Agent

800 Victoria Avenue
Ventura, CA 93009-3120


March 10, 1999


To: County of Ventura/Purchasing Services,

ImageWare Software, Inc. (IWS) is very pleased to be able to offer the Crime
Capture System-Registered Trademark- (CCS) in response to the Ventura County
RFP # 4799. Your interest in our company is appreciated and is a reflection
that our diligent work in developing state-of-the-art law enforcement
software is making a difference.

This past year has been a very successful one for both our company and our
clients. The state-wide photo imaging installation in Arizona is being highly
praised for its efficiency and effectiveness. As a direct result of our
efforts in Arizona, we have been awarded the booking contract for Las Vegas
Metro Police. In addition, we are less than thirty days away from funding a
$10,000,000 equity from a group of institutional investors led by J.P. Morgan.

We would be extremely pleased if the County of Ventura were to select our
product and Company as the one to carry them forward. We are confident that
our system will meet your needs and provide an easier path for expansion into
the future.

If you have any questions pertaining to this proposal or contract you may
contact myself at 619-673-8600 or Erik Carlgren, the project manager, at the
same number. We look forward to a successful conclusion to this opportunity
and a long term relationship with the County of Ventura.


Sincerely,



Jim Miller
President & CEO

COMPANY PROFILE & QUALIFICATIONS


ImageWare Software, Inc. a San Diego, California based company is a leader
and innovator in the emerging technology of PC-based digital imaging, with
its primary focus on law enforcement software. Our corporate offices are at
the following address. This same address is also used for sales, technical
services and billing.

              IMAGEWARE SOFTWARE, INC.
              10883 Thornmint Road
              San Diego, CA 92127

              Phone: 619-673-8600, 800-842-4199
              FAX:   619-673-1770

ImageWare has, through its efforts, gained respect within the Law Enforcement
area and is quickly being recognized as a leader in the handling of large
mugshot databases as well as the powerful investigative software that runs
them. We were recently awarded a contract by the State of Arizona and the
system is meeting all of its expectations. The Arizona Department of Public
Safety enjoys a powerful network of photo and data information, with
extremely limited down time. It seamlessly interfaces with several disparate
systems and provides a smooth and synchronized data flow throughout. Very
recently, in partnership with NEC and PRC/Litton, IWS was awarded the digital
imaging contract for Las Vegas Metro PD.

One year ago ImageWare acquired XImage Corporation, a San Jose, California
based company also specializing in law enforcement software. XImage
Corporation is a company strong in the installation and management of very
large booking installations. The company has developed its products using Sun
SPARC servers and workstations on a UNIX operating system. It's flagship
installation is New York City Police Department as well as Henepin County,
MN (Minneapolis), Indianapolis PD and Portland Police Bureau. The NYC system,
spans 76 precincts in 5 boroughs, including 100 capture stations and
redundant central servers. XImage/ImageWare has a large customer support
staff with 24 hours a day, 7 days a week availability. A highly skilled
technical representative currently resides in Minneapolis, MN.

ImageWare and XImage combined to form a company that is strong, technically
proficient, and leading the way in the development of tools for the law
enforcement industry. The skills of one company compliment those of the
other. The strengths and experience of XImage will enable the new company to
bypass many pitfalls, during the introduction of new Windows based products
under the expertise of ImageWare. This merger, combined with the recent
financial backing of J.P. Morgan ensures the highest quality products and
services for many years to come.

CCS runs on the Microsoft Windows operating system, specifically Windows 95,
98 and Windows NT 4.0. We configure systems using all IBM components,
ensuring our customers of state-of-the-art architecture, durability,
reliability. By teaming with IBM as a business partner, ImageWare can and
does offer the highest quality PC products, systems software, and customer
service available. PC platforms being used include multiple Pentium Pro
processor servers, redundant servers, Xeon processors and Pentium II
capture and investigate workstations. In many cases, current hardware can be
utilized and hardware may be purchased off existing County contracts.

Support is handled on a 24/7 basis with our support offices being in San
Diego. There is a one hour call back response time and 24 hour on-site
response time. Faster on-site response times can be negotiated. Servers and
workstation software can be maintained remotely using sophisticated IBM
Netfinity Management software. If a server goes down, it does not effect the
capture workstations. All capture stations have the ability to store data and
images locally until the server is back on-line.

IWS core products are Crime Capture System (CCS), and Face ID -Registered
Trademark- (FID). CCS is a powerful flexible and easy to use digital booking,
identification and retrieval system. Face ID -Registered Trademark- is a
state-of-the-art facial recognition and retrieval program that is re-defining
what a mugshot database is capable of. Face ID -Registered Trademark-
integrates with both ImageWare's and Ximage's booking systems, giving the
company a very distinct, and unique product line.

The proposed Crime Capture System (Digital Booking System) is one of five
modules in a suite called C.R.I.M.E.S. The other modules are Suspect
ID -Registered Trademark-, a photo-realistic composite program, Crime
Lab -Registered Trademark-, a fundamental enhancement and editing program,
Vehicle ID -Registered Trademark-, a photo-based vehicle searching program,
and Face ID -Registered Trademark-.

IMAGEWARE HISTORY

Incorporated in 1987, ImageWare initially focused on the entertainment
industry. The company's patented imaging technology was first used in photo
imaging kiosks at theme parks and tourist attractions in the U.S., Canada,
Mexico, Japan and the United Kingdom. The kiosks produced People
Postcards!-Registered Trademark- by superimposing customers' images onto
amusing or picturesque backgrounds.

At the 1992 COMDEX Show, ImageWare introduced its first retail product,
ImageWizard -Registered Trademark-. At the show, the revolutionary image
manipulation and processing program was nominated one of the "Best New
Software Programs" of the year. ImageWizard was the first application to
incorporate multiple image objects for fast and easy image enhancement and
editing. In early 1994, ImageWare released a companion program to ImageWizard
called MorphWizard -Registered Trademark-. A powerful morphing application,
MorphWizard allows users to manipulate

                                        7

<PAGE>

and force transformations between multiple images. Both ImageWizard and
MorphWizard sold domestically and in Japan through Canon Sales Co.

Concurrent with the release of MorphWizard, ImageWare shifted its focus from
the entertainment and retail markets to the institutional law enforcement
areas. The C.R.I.M.E.S. (Crime Reduction, Image Management and Enhancement
System), software suite was unveiled in October 1994.

Since 1994, ImageWare has placed software in over 650 law enforcement
agencies around the country and internationally. Currently, there are over
100 departments using either XImage or ImageWare mug photo systems, with more
coming on-line every day.

C.R.I.M.E.S. SUITE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT PRODUCTS

          C.R.I.M.E.S. is a modular family of affordable, easy-to-use
software applications that aid law enforcement with the criminal
investigative process. Currently there are five Windows -TM- based
C.R.I.M.E.S. modules; Suspect ID, Crime Lab, Vehicle ID, Face ID and the
Crime Capture System. The multiple module system is fully integrated so
information entered into one module is reflected in all others, thus
eliminating the time and expense required to interface programs designed by
different software companies.

Suspect ID -Registered Trademark-

          Suspect ID is the composite module of the C.R.I.M.E.S. software
family. Using an online cognitive interview process, officers, witnesses and
victims can accurately create full-color, photo-realistic suspect composites
within minutes. The digital composites are constructed from catalogs of
facial features. The catalogs are comprised of actual photographs, not
hand-drawn sketches, so composites from Suspect ID look like people, not like
pencil sketches.

          The Suspect ID module was designed specifically for use by law
enforcement agencies. Even officers with little or no computer knowledge or
artistic talent can complete a suspect composite simply by pointing and
clicking with a mouse. Suspect ID is a standard PC-based software application
that can be installed on a laptop computer and taken into the field, allowing
officers to conduct interviews before the witnesses' and victims' memories
fade. For rapid identification, officers can distribute completed composites
within minutes via radio, fax or e-mail.


CRIME LAB -Registered Trademark-

          The second module of the C.R.I.M.E.S. family, Crime Lab, is a
sophisticated image enhancement and editing program used to fulfill a host of
investigative imaging needs such as updating old photos, creating
non-prejudicial line-ups, removing distracting backgrounds and

                                        8

<PAGE>

enhancing surveillance videos. Crime Lab interfaces with each of
the modules to provide enhanced capability to each.

VEHICLE ID-TM-

      Vehicle ID is a revolutionary photo-based software program that helps
officers quickly identify and disseminate vehicle information for the purpose
of locating a stolen car or a vehicle involved in a crime. Vehicle ID's
comprehensive database of over 1,000 vehicles can be searched by features,
description, or VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). To ensure a more
accurate identification, vehicles matching the query description can be
viewed from front, rear, side or three quarter angles. The program also
includes a custom paint shop for depicting the exact color of the vehicle. A
color copy of the suspect vehicle can then be produced and immediately
broadcast, printed or faxed to officers in the field to quickly apprehend
suspected criminals.

      Information from NICB's (National Insurance Crime Bureau) VINassist-TM-
program has been incorporated into Vehicle ID, enabling officers to obtain
images of vehicles based on VIN translation codes. This feature helps
officers identify stolen vehicles in cases of switched VINs.

FACE ID-TM-

       Face ID is a state-of-the-art facial recognition and retrieval program
that helps officers positively identify both unknown suspects and criminals
with multiple aliases. Suspect images that have been captured on a
surveillance video, suspect composite or photograph can be searched against
any digital database of faces. The search returns a group of images whose
facial characteristics closely resemble that of the search photograph. This
feature can also be used at the time of booking to immediately identify
criminals with multiple aliases. Face ID saves the officer tremendous amounts
of time when scanning through large databases. The ability to key in text
data descriptors in addition to the facial search makes searching large
databases possible.

CRIME CAPTURE SYSTEM-TM-

      Crime Capture System is a flexible, easy-to-use, and affordable digital
imaging solution for automated capture, storage and retrieval of booking
images and related information. The Crime Capture System utilizes
off-the-shelf hardware that complies with open industry standards and easily
integrates with an agency's records or AFIS system (Automated Fingerprint
Identification System). Utilizing client/server architecture, the Crime
Capture System can operate on an array of systems ranging from a stand-alone
PC to a wide area network.

San Diego based ImageWare Software, Inc. is privately held.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IWS has included financial statements from 1996, 1997 and through November of
1998. When reviewing the attached financials for November 30, 1998 several
issues should be noted. On the Consolidating Income Statement included in the
11 months, results are approximately $1 million of one time costs related to
the aquisition and integration of XImage operations into ImageWare. When
reviewing the 11/30/98 Balance Sheet, the fact is that IMAGEWARE IS (AS OF
3/1/99) LESS THAN THIRTY DAYS AWAY FROM FUNDING A $10,000,000 EQUITY FROM A
GROUP OF INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS LED BY J.P. MORGAN. A summarized pro-forma

ImageWare Software, Inc. has proven its ability to successfully complete
projects of the size and magnitude as the Ventura County system.  IWS has
installed investigative software in more than 650 police departments and
digital photo software in more than 100 departments throughout the world.
The needs of Ventura County are similar to those of many of our customers,
but not exact.  Each individual agency varies in their requirements and the
following customers are just a few examples of how we met those needs.

ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY

DESCRIPTION OF INSTALLED SYSTEM AND ITS FEATURES:
Central Server is IBM Netfinity server, dual host cluster, with automatic
fail-over in case of one system failure.  Shared disk array with RAID level 5
implemented.  15 county intake facilities, with both capture and
investigative Crime Capture System workstations.  2 additional sites at county
court facilities.  Features include an interface with the Identix livescan
device, taking all demographic data, creating the record and populating the
data fields, making the image capture portion the only step required by the
operator.  All information and images are immediately available for all
other investigative workstations on the network.  Arizona DPS has also
recently issued a purchase order for the addition of Face ID-TM- to be added
to the central server.  Each county can then purchase the client software and
conduct facial recognition searches using images or composites produced by
Suspect ID-TM-.  Crime Lab-TM- was also included in each investigative
workstation.

FACT SHEET
The State of Arizona in an effort to consolidate images and booking
information, has contracted with ImageWare Software, Inc. to install a
statewide digital mugshot repository called Mug Photo Interface (MPI).  In
those locations that are part of the system, the booking process begins at the
Identix livescan station where an operator captures the suspect's
fingerprints and enters required demographic and biographical information.
Once the information is entered into the livescan system, the data
automatically transfers to the MPI system via a common linking number.  At
the MPI capture station, additional mandatory information is recorded, and
digital images of the suspect are taken.  Upon completion of a record, the
information is immediately transmitted via the AZAFIS network to a central
repository housed at the Department of Public Safety.  At this point, the
data is readily available for searching purposes by any agency in the state
which has access to the database.

An ImageWare supplied investigative station is used to perform several
functions including quick and advanced searches for querying the database,
mugbook searches and views for

                                       25

witness identification of a suspect, line-ups, and in the near future, facial
recognition which is used to identify unknown suspects and criminals.

ARIZONA MPI TECHNICAL BREAK DOWN

Initial Number of Capture Stations:          17
Initial Number of Investigative Stations:     17
Approximate Number of Bookings Per Year:     350,000


HARDWARE
Central Site: 2 IBM Netfinity Servers running in a clustered environment and
sharing a RAID level 5 array of 82 GB for database storage.  Each server has
4 Pentium Pro Processors, 1 GB of RAM memory and 13 GB of internal system
disk space.  The system drives are mirrored.  If the active server fails to
reset a heartbeat, the failover takes place automatically, and the drive
array fails over to the control of the now active server.  There is dial in
capability for diagnostic purposes.  The operating system is Windows NT
Server 4.0 Enterprise Edition with Microsoft Cluster Server.

Capture & Investigative Stations: Each Investigative Station is an IBM 300XI
PC with 64MB RAM and 6.1 GB of hard disk storage.  The capture camera is a
Pulnix TMC-73M with a Computar zoom lens.  The camera and lens are mounted on
a Hitachi pan and tilt device.  The capture card is an Integral Technology
MV-Pro.  The camera is mounted on it's side to accommodate the NIST Best
Practice Recommendations and proprietary software does a rotation of the video
live feed before it is displayed by the graphics card.  Printing and scanning
take place on Epson Stylus 800 printer and an Epson 636 Expressions scanner
(SCSI connection).  The operating system is Windows NT Workstation 4.0.  Each
capture and investigative station is connected to the central servers via a
wide area network utilizing Ethernet and TCP/IP protocol.  Each station runs
client software that connects to the central server's database.

                INTERFACE CONTRACT TO IMAGEWARE SOFTWARE, INC.

       IMAGEWARE'S CRIME CAPTURE SYSTEMS-TM- TO HELP ARIZONA LAW ENFORCEMENT
                       AGENCIES APPREHEND CRIMINALS.

     San Diego, California - January 15, 1998 - After an extensive evaluation
process, the State of Arizona announced Wednesday that they had awarded the
Arizona Statewide Digital Mug Photo Interface Contract to ImageWare Software,
Inc. The contract is expected to exceed one million dollars and is the first
contract of its kind to be awarded for a statewide mugshot system.  "We are
very

                                       26


<PAGE>


pleased to provide Arizona law enforcement with a complete solution for
their mug photo needs," says Jim Miller, President and CEO of ImageWare
Software, Inc.. "We feel the Crime Capture System will provide a quantum
leap forward for the State."

    Under the terms of the contract, the State of Arizona will utilize
ImageWare's Crime Capture System (CCS), a state of the art digital booking,
identification and retrieval program. The main CCS database will be housed at
the Arizona Department of Public Safety. Seventeen sites will be capable of
capturing mugshots, SMT (scars, marks, and tattoos) photos, and descriptive
data for each suspect they arrest. Each remote site will also receive an
investigative workstation capable of searching and viewing the mugshot
database and creating photo line-ups. Once information is entered into the
remote database, the central repository is immediately updated allowing all
agencies access to the most recent information. Officers and Detectives will
no longer have to spend hundreds of hours searching through file cabinets of
photographs to identify a suspect or generate a photo line-up, instead they
will use CCS's central repository and systematically search the digital
database of images for similarities between suspects, thus speeding up case
processing. The new CCS system will also interface directly with the existing
Arizona Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AZAFIS) network.

    The State of Arizona and ImageWare have agreed to an aggressive
implementation schedule which will have the system fully operational by June
1998. Once the first phase is complete, there are plans to move forward with
the implementation of additional C.R.I.M.E.S.-TM- modules including:
Suspect ID-Registered Trademark- (a composite program), Crime Lab-Registered
Trademark- (an image enhancement and edit program), Vehicle ID-TM- (a vehicle
identification program), and what Ben Armstrong, the Lead Business Analyst
with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office considers, "one of the most
promising law enforcement tools," Face ID-TM- (a facial recognition
program). All of these modules combined will create a fully integrated law
enforcement solution for the State of Arizona.

    San Diego-based ImageWare Software, Inc. is a leader and innovator in PC
based digital imaging, with its primary focus on law enforcement software.
Through its growing family of C.R.I.M.E.S. software modules, ImageWare is
effectively assisting in the resolution of crime worldwide. Currently, the
five C.R.I.M.E.S. modules are being used by more than 500 law enforcement
agencies worldwide. ImageWare Software, Inc. is privately held.

                   Published on Saturday, September 12, 1998

BYLINE BY JUDI VILLA, THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC

In seconds, a suspect's booking mug can be seen by law enforcement agencies
throughout the state. A few computer keystrokes, and a detective can have
more pictures than he'll ever need


                                     27


<PAGE>


for a photographic lineup. And if there is no suspect, that same detective
can type in a physical description and get a list of potential bad guys in no
time.

Welcome to the Mug Photo Interface, a subsystem of the Arizona Automated
Fingerprint Identification System. MPI uses electronic imaging to capture mug
shot photos and transmit them immediately to a statewide image database
operated by the state Department of Public Safety. "It is going to
revolutionize (police work) just like fingerprints did," said Clyde Tess, a
crime lab supervisor with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. "It'll solve
cases faster. It'll help in identifying suspects faster. "If a suspect is
entered into the database in Phoenix then goes down to Tucson and commits a
crime, the victim can identify the suspect the same day. Before an agency
would have to send a photo or fax it. Faxes aren't always that good, and the
mail takes a day or two. This is instant."

The MPI system went online Thursday in 10 counties. The first booking mug was
entered by the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office in Nogales. "It's pretty
nice," said Ramon Villela, a detention officer in Nogales. "It's going to
make our jobs easier and faster, and the detectives are going to be able to
do lineups faster."

Arizona's program, funded by a grant from the Arizona Criminal Justice
Enhancement Fund, will be one of the most progressive in the country,
officials say. Although some cities, including San Diego and Boston, have
limited imaging databases, only Arkansas has a statewide system. And that one
collects information from only six sites. Seven more sites, including police
departments in Mesa, Tempe, Phoenix, Scottsdale and Glendale, will be added to
MPI by next summer. And by the end of this year, five sheriff's departments
that already have their own mug photo systems will be linked to the statewide
system. A few agencies, like the Chandler Police Department, have purchased
their own equipment to hook into the system.

"Here's a great thing," said Mark Hatcher, an identification supervisor for
the Mesa Police Department and chairman of the MPI Task Force. The task
force, a grass-roots effort with members from five police agencies in Arizona
has been working for two years to implement the technology. "This opens up
communication from Yuma County to Navajo County," Hatcher said.
"Geographically, they're at different ends of the state, but they can do a
search just like they were here at DPS."

The system standardizes the way mug shots are taken and stored, sets up a
"major clearinghouse" for all photos and allows investigators anywhere in the
state to search for, retrieve and print out mugs and suspect information
from virtually anywhere in the state. It also can be used to create photo
lineups and books of mug shots for victims to look through. "Say a suspect
does a robbery with a mask, and he's got a tattoo on his arm," Villela said.
"Detectives can take that picture of that tattoo and scan it into the system,
and it'll give you everybody that has that tattoo." The system also is capable
of tracking gang affiliations, weapons and registered sex offenders.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CITY OF LAKEWOOD

ImageWare Software has great experience in the area of composite creation and
the identification of suspects using those composites. The most recent and
important news involves the facial recognition software, Face ID. This
software was created using algorithms developed from MIT research, which
ImageWare has the exclusive right to offer to the law enforcement industry.
The software describes a portion of the face of an individual mathematically,
from the eyebrows to the lips. This represents the majority of facial
features used to differentiate individuals and discounts such things as hair
length and style, eyeglasses, hats, and other adornments.

Face ID is presently installed at the Lakewood substation of the Los Angeles
Sheriff's Department, and was recently used to capture a carjacking suspect.
The victim gave a very accurate description to the Sheriff's Department, and
a composite was created using ImageWare's Suspect ID. This composite was used
to then search their mugshot database using Face ID). The returned search
results contained a suspect that the victim identified from a lineup. This
search took approximately 30 seconds to perform, and caused the
identification and apprehension of the suspect, and subsequently the District
Attorney's office has filed charges against the suspect. The press release of
this incident follows, along with a view of the composite and actual photo of
the suspect.


                              FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
                LOS ANGELES SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT IDENTIFIES SUSPECT
                    WITH NEW HIGH-TECH CRIME FIGHTING SOFTWARE

            DETECTIVES UTILIZE FACE ID(TM) FACIAL RECOGNITION SOFTWARE
                       TO ARREST CAR-JACKING AND BATTERY SUSPECT.

San Diego, California   November 3, 1997 -- Just three days after
installation of their newest crime fighting weapon, detectives with the Los
Angeles County Sheriff's Department arrested a car jacking and battery
suspect "that would never had been identified without Face ID(TM) facial
recognition software", according to Sergeant Bill Conley of the Los Angeles
Sheriff's Office. With no leads, frustrated detectives had given up on the
case weeks prior and considered it dead until the installation of Face ID.
Using a composite of the suspect, detectives employed the facial recognition
program to search their digital mugshot database for possible matches. Within
seconds the automated search results displayed photos in rank order that
were similar to those of the composite. Detectives investigated the matches,
created a photo-line-up and two witnesses positively identified Eduardo Ochoa
as the suspect. Ochoa was arrested on October 30, 1997 and is being held in
lieu of $125,000 bail. Sergeant

                                          29

Conley was amazed and commented, "Face ID is one of the most innovative
breakthroughs in  law enforcement technology."

Face ID, one of the models of the C.R.I.M.E.S.-Registered Trademark- suite of
integrated law enforcement programs developed by ImageWare Software, Inc., is
a state-of-the-art facial recognition and retrieval program. Now,
investigators no longer have to spend hundreds of hours trying to identify a
suspect. Detectives can take a suspect composite created in ImageWare's
Suspect ID(TM) program, and seamlessly export it to Face ID, which in turn will
systematically search any digital database of booking images to identify
possible suspects. Similarly, a suspect's image caught on a bank or
convenience store surveillance video can be run against a digital photo
database for possible identification. With Face ID, officers will be able to
utilize this facial recognition technology at the time of booking to
immediately identify a criminal with multiple identities or outstanding
warrants.

San Diego-based ImageWare Software, Inc. is a leader and innovator in
PC-based digital imaging, with its primary focus on public sector and law
enforcement software. Through its growing family of modules, ImageWare is
effectively creating a fully integrated solution to assist in the resolution
of crime worldwide. Currently, the C.R.I.M.E.S. suite consists of five
modules: Suspect ID (facial composite module), Crime Lab(TM) (an image
enhancement and edit program), Vehicle ID(TM) (vehicle identification

            LOS ANGELES SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT IDENTIFIES SUSPECT
                WITH NEW HIGH-TECH CRIME FIGHTING SOFTWARE

San Diego, California -- November 3, 1997 -- Just three days after
installation of ImageWare's Face ID-TM-, the program proved itself to be the
most effective high-tech crime fighting software available. Using a composite
of a suspect, detectives employed Face ID to conduct an automated comparison
search and produced a number of photos which closely resembled the suspect in
a car jacking and battery case. Both the victim and witness positively
identified the suspect who was ranked highest in the comparison search.

PROPOSER UNDERSTANDING
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ImageWare appreciates the needs and issues that concern Ventura County. We
also understand the importance of this decision and have done everything
possible in recommending the most complete, and robust investigative mugshot
solution available. It is a turn-key solution that has been designed to fit
your needs. The proposal has no hidden costs and leaves many options.

The proposed Crime Capture System (CCS) will include a powerful central mug
and data server that interfaces with both the County's VCJIS and inmate
management applications. All data will be synchronized throughout the network
and no duplicate entry is needed. The system includes software for 10 capture
stations and 11 investigative stations with the ability to add more as
necessary. The system will utilize the current cameras and subsystems, with
the exception of the capture card and possibly cables. Any printer that has
Windows NT drivers and any peripheral that is TWAIN compliant may be utilized.
The entire system is fully Year 2000 compliant and meets all ANSI/NIST
standards. The system is capable of transmitting standard NIST data packets
to the State and to CalPhoto. All requirements outlined in RFP #4799 will be
met unless expressly noted.

Facial Recognition can also be added to the server at a later date, without
the need for costly hardware upgrades or conversions. Face ID-Registered
Trademark- fully integrates with CCS and used in conjunction with the other
C.R.I.M.E.S. modules, your agencies will have a very powerful and effective
arsenal of tools to solve crime.

The proposal calls for two types of integration, the first type is to avoid
any duplicate entry throughout the system. CCS is capable of reading the same
exact text file that is currently being created for the population of the DBI
Tenprinter machine. Basically, a record starts at the inmate management or
VCJIS application and the necessary date is written to a file that both DBI
and ourselves can read. This file will populate the CCS data fields. Any
adds, edits or deletions within VCJIS will create a new text file and thus
will be carried through to CCS. The text file may be changed from the
existing one to provide additional demographic fields.

The second interface requires the vendor to develop an API that can be
incorporated into both VCJIS and the inmate management system. The purpose of
this API is to enable these two data systems to simply view and print the
mugshot that is associated with that particular record. ImageWare will
provide a single API that will accomplish this task. In other words, CCS will
provide a 'toolkit' or 'export.dll' that can be accessed by and written into
PowerBuilder or other third party software by the Ventura County MIS staff.
Included in the price of this custom API is a general site license for the
API. This license enables the API retrieval capability on all workstations
that access either VCJIS or the inmate management system. It does not,
however, include the additional Sybase licenses that make these workstations
concurrent.

                                       36

<PAGE>

The proposal also includes the conversion of the existing 183,000 images
(approx.) and data in proprietary TFP format. IWS will convert this database
using in-house technicians and does not foresee needing assistance from
either Printrac or Pinnacle.

The system components will connect to the existing network directly, with
each agency or the county being responsible to provide LAN connections for
the new equipment. The operating system for the central server will be
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, and Windows NT Workstation for each capture
workstation. The protocol will be TCP/IP. All connections to either the
network or additional devices will be industry standard connections.

Maintenance will be provided for the system 7 days a week, 24 hours a day,
with 1 hour call back response, and 24 hour on-site response. Faster on-site
response times may be negotiated.

The C.R.I.M.E.S. suite of software is modular in design. It is possible to
add, upgrade, or replace software modules in the system with relative ease.
Modules included in the C.R.I.M.E.S. suite of software are Suspect ID, a
photo realistic composite program, Crime Lab, a sophisticated image
enhancement and editing program, Vehicle ID, a photo-based program to help
quickly identify vehicles, Crime Capture System, a flexible easy-to-use
digital booking system, and Face ID, a state-of-the-art facial recognition
and retrieval program.

The system will have the capability of interfacing with any other agency
electronically either via the network or modem, and send and receive
information from other cooperating criminal justice agencies as long as these
agencies comply with NIST standards for mugshot and SMT image transmission.

Data archive and backup can be accomplished on-line.

The Crime Capture System does include a store and forward ability, that is
transparent to the operator. The location capture station will display either
Online or Offline (to the central server), and if Offline, will start
accumulating data onto the local hard drive. When the network is again
available, the records are forwarded to the central server without any
operator intervention or downtime.

System security will make use of both operating system permissions as well
as database software security. This will allow access to certain functions
and data to be controlled by the system administrator. These privileges and
permissions will be given and controlled by user login. There will be an
administrative function available only to the system administrator, where
these permissions and privileges are maintained.


CENTRAL SERVER

                                     37
<PAGE>

The central server system will consist of an IBM Netfinity 5500. A UPS will
protect the system from power fluctuations and momentary outages. The system
will have a redundant power supply. The server will be equipped with a modem
and remote diagnostic software, allowing for quicker response and problem
resolution. The server is a high performance 450 MHz Dual Pentium Pro
system, with a RAID V hot swap drive array and Mirrored OS. It is sized with
today's performance and tomorrow's growth in mind. Installing a RAID V system
allows the storage of business-critical data with confidence. The capture
stations are high performance systems as well, taking into account that end
user acceptance depends on system performance. The system also includes a DLT
tape drive for back-ups and a CD ROM Drive.

The central server will not execute any client applications, meaning all
searches, viewing, and printing or data from the mugshot database must be
accomplished via either a capture or investigative station. Only the server
portion of the ImageWare applications will execute from the central server
systems.

The central server Crime Capture application software will have the ability
to both receive and send photo mugshots using the NIST standard type 1, 2,
and 10 records. The software will also send and receive the appropriate NIST
message in acknowledgement of the receipt or transmittal. This method of data
transfer will be utilized for the DBI interface (if needed) and can
accomplish data transfer to the State and CalPhoto. A similar type transaction
or flat file transaction will serve as the VCJIS interface. A custom API
will also be provided to enable the viewing of images through both VCJIS and
the inmate management applications.

The central server will have an archive function available to allow the
off-loading of records, including images and demographic data, by date range
and control number. It is sized for the conversion of the existing 183,000
images and up to 15,000 records a year for 5 years.

The central server will log off any station that is presently logged in but
has not had activity for some user defined time period (e.g. 5 minutes).

The central server's RAID storage system will implement a level 5 method,
which provides a very high fault tolerant data storage system while not
degrading performance. A separate hardware controller, the IBM ServeRAID II
disk controller, will implement the RAID technology.

CAPTURE STATIONS

There will be 10 Capture Stations, each will consist of an IBM PC 300PL
computer with Pentium II processor, 64 MB RAM and 6.4 GB of internal hard
disk storage. Each capture station will be equipped with a CD ROM drive, 1.44
floppy disk drive, 17'' monitor and keyboard. The system will include a
network interface card and capture card for the camera sub-system. The
existing 8 camera subsystems will be utilized as well as the photo hardware
for the 2 copy stations (assuming the hardware is TWAIN compliant). The
system will meet

                                      38

<PAGE>

or exceed all NIST standards for the collection of mugshot photos. Some
changes in the camera subsystem may be necessary, ie. (The camera must be put
on its side to correctly interface with the MVPro capture card. It may need
to be re-bracketed). Any costs that may be associated with utilizing existing
hardware will be outlined at contract signing, although very few, if any, are
expected.

Software included with the capture station will allow for the live video
viewing of the arrestee, with the ability to capture a still image of the
arrestee from this on-screen viewing.

The mug photo database can be searched using the arrestee's demographic
information, for example, last name and date of birth, to find other records
for this arrestee. If and when Face ID is added, the operator will also be
able to compare a new arrestee's photo with those previously stored in the
mug photo database strictly by facial characteristics. This feature
eliminates both aliases and duplicate images.

Each capture station will have the ability to store both images and
associated demographic data locally if the network connection is unavailable.
When the network is restored and the central server database is accessible,
those locally stored records will be transmitted to the central server.

The software will allow for a flag to be associated with each booking at the
time the mug photo is taken, with those flags being user definable including
arrests, juveniles, etc. All such flags necessary for the VENTURA COUNTY
SHERIFF'S OFFICE operations must be designated during the specifications
gathering phase.

The software will allow the operator to view the captured image and either
reject or accept it at that time. The system will accept an unlimited number
of photos per booking record.

All images taken for a particular booking will be associated with a specific
file, or record, and will store the date and time it was recorded. Other
booking records may be linked to this booking if this is a repeat offender.

The input of demographic, or descriptive data will be available from
user-maintained lists, organized in any order the customer chooses. The user
will also be able to input free form text comments, including unusual
characteristics. All these descriptive data fields will be searchable.
Initial data will be populated via the flat file interface with VCJIS. This
interface creates a synchronous data system with a smooth data flow and no
duplicate entry. All creates, edits or deletions in VCJIS will be carried
throughout the system.

Photos captured can be multiple views of the arrestee, and photos of all
scars, marks, and tattoos (SMT). Property, Evidence and Crime Scene
photographs can also be attached to each record. All photos taken will be
linked to the booking record. This record can be found in multiple ways;
searching by demographic data, using a photo and searching with Face ID, or
accessing the records by the booking number or other identifying numbers.

                                     39

<PAGE>

The location of the scar, mark, or tattoo on the body will be chosen from a
user-maintained list of choices. There will be a description field for each
SMT, where any words on the tattoo can be entered as free form text
information, and other descriptive information about the SMT can be entered.
Whether a photo of the SMT is taken or not, the description of the SMT can be
entered.

INVESTIGATIVE WORKSTATION

The proposal includes CCS software for 11 investigative workstations. These
workstation may be provided by the county provided that they meet our
standard requirements. In addition we will also be providing two copies each
of the following investigative software, (Suspect ID, Vehicle ID and Crime
Lab) at no charge!

Searches may be accomplished using NCIC standard demographic codes, from user
maintained tables.

The software will create photo line-ups with a specified amount of images.
The Crime Capture System will retrieve and display the images of all subjects
with characteristics that match, or substantially match, those of the line-up
subject. The user will be able to select or reject from the images retrieved
up to twenty, that together with the subject's constitute the line-up. The
line-up will be random ordered, and may be saved for future retrieval. These
photo line-ups are also printable.

     Portions of an image may be "roped" for enlargement for viewing purposes.

     The print function is available for any image with its associated
demographic data.

     The search function includes very flexible ad hoc inquiries, including
many boolean logic functions, including AND, OR, GREATER THAN, LESS THAN,
EQUAL TO, etc.

     Each agency will be able to search the database and obtain information
about the total number of bookings by date, by officer ID, by charge code,
etc.

     Any text fields entered into a booking record will be searchable,
including any comment fields.

     Fields describing SMT data will be searchable.

     Images of SMT are printable, either color or black and white.

                                    40

<PAGE>

     The search software will process hyphenated and/or multiple last, first,
and middle names correctly.

     The search software will use "soundex" to find similar named individuals.

     Investigative workstations will have the ability to scan photos into the
system, import them, and link them with booking records. For example, crime
scene photos can be imported into booking records, as well as weapons photos,
vehicle photos, residence photos, year book photos, etc.

          armbands.

          CCS IS CAPABLE OF ALL OF THE ABOVE. PRINTERS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN
          THIS QUOTE, HOWEVER, ANY WINDOWS NT COMPATIBLE PRINTER CAN BE
          UTILIZED. SIX STANDARD PRINT FORMATS ARE INCLUDED WITH THE SYSTEM.
          MINOR CHANGES ON THESE FORMATS SHOULD BE DISCUSSED AT CONTRACT
          SIGNING AND WILL INCUR NO COST. ADDITIONAL PRINT FORMATS CAN BE
          PURCHASED FOR $500.00. A BOOKING SHEET AND A WRISTBAND PRINT ARE
          TWO OF THE SIX STANDARD PRINT FORMATS.

    3.    System shall interface with the demographics and photo imaging
          files with current and future Inmate Management Systems and D.B.I.
          fingerprint systems.

          RECORDS WILL BE INITIATED IN EITHER VCJIS OR THE INMATE MANAGEMENT
          APPLICATION, WHICH WILL FEED VCJIS. PORTIONS OF THIS DEMOGRAPHIC
          DATA IS CURRENTLY BEING PASSED TO THE LIVESCAN MACHINE, VIA FILE
          TRANSFER, ELIMINATING DUPLICATE ENTRY. IWS RECOMMENDS THAT A
          SECOND FLAT FILE BE CREATED FROM VCJIS AND WRITTEN TO A DIRECTORY
          THAT CCS CONSTANTLY MONITORS. THIS DATA MAY OR MAY NOT BE THE SAME
          AS THE DATA NEEDED BY THE LIVESCAN SYSTEM.

          BASICALLY, VCJIS, (UPON CREATION, EDIT OR DELETION) CREATES TWO
          FLAT TEXT FILES. ONE TEXT FILE IS USED TO POPULATE THE LIVESCAN AND
          THE SECOND IS USED TO POPULATE CCS. THESE TEXT FILES MAY OR MAY NOT
          BE THE SAME, DEPENDING ON THE DATA THAT IS TRANSFERRED TO CCS.

          IMAGEWARE DOES NOT SEE A NEED TO INTERFACE DIRECTLY WITH DBI. IF
          DBI IS ACCEPTING THE SAME EXACT TEXT THAT CCS IS, AND AT THE SAME
          EXACT TIME, THAN THESE TWO SYSTEMS WILL BE SYNCHRONIZED AS WELL AS
          VCJIS. THIS SAID, CCS IS CAPABLE OF IMPORTING AND EXPORTING NIST
          FILES AND INTEGRATING WITH DBI. INSTEAD OF VCJIS FEEDING BOTH CCS
          AND LIVESCAN AT THE SAME TIME, VCJIS COULD FEED CCS WHICH THEN
          FEEDS LIVESCAN OR VISA VERSA.

PHOTO SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

    1.    The system shall be 'USER FRIENDLY'. Minimizing the steps necessary
          in preparing six-pack or larger photo line-ups.


                                      43

          THE CRIME CAPTURE SYSTEM HAS A VERY EASY NAVIGATION METHOD.
          FUNCTIONS ARE DISPLAYED ON THE FIRST SCREEN, AND THE USER PICKS A
          FUNCTION. EACH SCREEN WITHIN THE FUNCTION ALWAYS INCLUDES THE
          ABILITY TO GO TO THE PREVIOUS SCREEN OR TO GO TO THE MAIN MENU
          SCREEN. NO TOOL BARS OR TEXT MENUS ARE REQUIRED. THE SYSTEM IS A
          WINDOWS PRODUCT, AND MAKES FULL USE OF THE WINDOWS SCREENING
          PROPERTIES. OUR ENGINEERS HAVE DESIGNED ALL OF OUR SOFTWARE WITH
          NON-TECHNICAL USERS IN MIND. THE AMOUNT OF SCREENS NECESSARY ARE
          KEPT TO AN ABSOLUTE MINIMUM. DROP DOWN MENUS. POP-UP WARNINGS AND
          STANDARD WINDOWS FUNCTION FEATURES ARE ALL INHERENT. SIMPLE
          BUTTONS AND ICONS MAKE IT VERY EASY TO LEARN AND OPERATE.

     2.   Photographs shall be in JPEG format.

          THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET.

     3.   System shall be capable of being able to reduce or enlarge
          photographs while keeping the original photo file intact.

          WITHIN CCS, IMAGES CAN BE 'ROPED' AND ZOOMED IN AS NECESSARY. THE
          ORIGINAL PHOTO CANNOT BE EDITED OR SIZED BUT THE VIEWED AND PRINTED
          IMAGES MAY BE SIZED AS NECESSARY.

     4.   System shall conform to all California Department of Justice (DOJ),
          Federal and NIST Standards for mug-shot photographs.

          CCS MEETS ALL CALIFORNIA DOJ AND FEDERAL NIST STANDARDS.

     5.   System shall accept existing photographs (through data conversion).

          EXISTING TFP (PRINTRAC) IMAGES AND DATA WILL BE CONVERTED IMPORTED
          INTO CCS. THESE IMAGES AND DATA WILL BE FULLY ACCESSIBLE.

     6.   System shall be capable of creating color or black and white
          six-pack photographic line-ups.

          CCS WILL CREATE PHOTO LINE-UPS WITH A SPECIFIED AMOUNT OF IMAGES.
          THE CRIME CAPTURE SYSTEM WILL RETRIEVE AND DISPLAY THE IMAGES OF
          ALL SUBJECTS WITH CHARACTERISTICS THAT MATCH, OR SUBSTANTIALLY
          MATCH, THOSE OF THE LINE-UP SUBJECT. THE USER WILL BE ABLE TO
          SELECT OR REJECT FROM THE IMAGES RETRIEVED, THAT TOGETHER WITH THE
          SUBJECT'S CONSTITUTE THE LINE-UP. THE LINE-UP WILL BE RANDOM
          ORDERED, AND MAY BE SAVED FOR FUTURE RETRIEVAL. THESE PHOTO
          LINE-UPS ARE PRINTABLE IN COLOR OR BLACK & WHITE. IN ADDITION, WE
          WILL BE PROVIDING, AT NO COST, TWO COPIES OF CRIME LAB IMAGE
          EDITING SOFTWARE. THIS SOFTWARE IS CAPABLE OF REMOVING DISTRACTING
          BACKGROUNDS AND COPYING SCARS OR TATTOOS FOR PASTING ON THE OTHER
          SUBJECTS IN THE LINE-UP. THIS CREATES VERY NON-PREJUDICIAL LINE-UPS.

     7.   We would like the system to have the capability of being able to
          view multiple mug-shots at one time when selecting candidates for
          six-pack line-ups, rather than having to go back and forth
          selecting one candidate at a time.


                                        44
<PAGE>

          CREATING A LINE-UP IS SIMPLE. CHOOSE THE KNOWN SUSPECT TO BE PLACED
          IN A LINE-UP AND CLICK 'CREATE LINE-UP'. THIS WILL PROMPT CCS TO
          RETURN THE IMAGES OF ALL PEOPLE WHO'S TEXT BASED PHYSICAL
          CHARACTERISTICS MATCH THE KNOW SUSPECT. THE USER THEN, SIMPLY
          SCROLLS DOWN THIS LIST OF RETURNED IMAGES, CHOOSING THE ONES TO BE
          PLACED IN THE LINE-UP. ONCE THE PHOTOS ARE CHOSEN, THE LINE-UP CAN
          BE SAVED AND PRINTED.

          CCS PRINTS TWO DIFFERENT LINE-UPS, PUBLIC AND INTERNAL. PUBLIC
          LINE-UPS INCLUDE NO TEXT INFORMATION, ONLY THE PHOTO. INTERNAL
          LINE-UPS PRINT THE PHOTOS AS WELL AS THE NAMES AND ID NUMBERS OF
          THE PEOPLE IN THE LINE-UP.

     8.   System shall have the capability of being able to print out an
          individual color or black and white photograph while displaying a
          six-pack or displaying a full page of photographs.

          CCS HAS THIS CAPABILITY. A SIMPLE 'RIGHT CLICK' ON ANY IMAGE
          ENABLES IT TO BE PRINTED.

     9.   System shall have the ability to print out a photograph without
          demographic descriptors or with descriptors that include but not
          limited to Name, DOB, Booking #, BI# (Bureau of Identification
          Number), HEIGHT, WEIGHT, HAIR COLOR, AND EYE COLOR.

          THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET. 'RIGHT CLICKING' ON ANY IMAGE ALLOWS
          YOU TO PRINT A SINGLE IMAGE WITH NO TEXT. PRINTING THROUGH THE
          'PRINT MENU' ALLOWS YOU TO CHOOSE FROM A VARIETY OF TEMPLATES, EACH
          WITH DIFFERENT TEXT ASSOCIATED. SIX STANDARD TEMPLATES ARE INCLUDED
          WITH THIS PROPOSAL, ONE OF WHICH MEETS THE ABOVE CRITERIA.

     10.  System shall be capable of creating 'Attempt to Locate' and 'Wanted
          Persons' poster.

          THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET. IN ADDITION, WE ARE INCLUDING TWO
          COPIES OF SUSPECT ID (SID) COMPOSITE SOFTWARE. SID ALSO PRINTS
          'WANTED POSTERS' OF DIGITAL COMPOSITE SUSPECTS.

     11.  System shall have the ability to modify templates (by 'USER') for
          'Attempt to Locate' or 'Wanted Posters' that reflects each Agencies
          own individual identification (Department's name, Chiefs name etc.)

          MINOR CHANGES IN STANDARD PRINT FORMATS SHOULD BE OUTLINED AT
          CONTRACT SIGNING. EACH PRINT FORMAT IS HELD LOCALLY ALLOWING
          INDIVIDUAL AGENCIES TO PRINT INDIVIDUAL PRINT FORMATS.

     12.  We would like the system to have the capability of being able to
          securely E-mail photographs over the Internet.

          PHOTOS CAN BE EXPORTED IN A NUMBER OF FILE FORMATS. IMAGEWARE IS
          NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR SECURITY OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS ONCE EXPORTED FROM
          CCS AND OUTSIDE THE CCS NETWORK. CCS IS CAPABLE OF EXPORTING NIST
          PACKAGES INCLUDING PHOTOGRAPHS TO THE STATE OVER A NETWORK OR
          SECURE INTRA-NET.


                                       45
<PAGE>

     13.  We would like the system to have the capability of being able to
          export photo images to internal or external networks, or other
          outside communication links including CAL-PHOTO and MOBILE DATA
          terminals.

          CCS IS COMPATIBLE WITH CAL-PHOTO. WHEN A LOCAL WEB-SERVER IS
          ACQUIRED FOR THIS, CCS CAN EXPORT THE NEEDED DATA AND PHOTO
          LOCATION FOR USE BY CAL-PHOTO. CCS IS AN OPEN ARCHITECTURE, ODBC
          COMPLIANT SYSTEM. WHEN A MOBILE DATA SOLUTION IS ACQUIRED, WE
          WILL WORK WITH THE SELECTED VENDOR TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION THAT CAN
          SEND PHOTOS TO THE MOBILE DATA TERMINAL.

     14.  We would like the system to have the ability for the 'USER' to cut
          and paste photographs without changing the original photographic
          file.

          ONCE A PHOTOGRAPH IS TAKEN IT CAN BE EXPORTED AS NECESSARY. THE
          PHOTO CANNOT, HOWEVER, BE IMPORTED BACK INTO CCS TO REPLACE AN
          ORIGINAL PHOTO. IT CAN BE ASSOCIATED TO THE RECORD AS AN EDITED
          PHOTO. ORIGINAL PHOTOS CANNOT BE EDITED, UNLESS EXPORTED AND THEN
          RE-IMPORTED AS EDITED PHOTOS. THESE EDITED PHOTOS DO NOT REPLACE
          ORIGINALS.

     15.  System shall have the ability to easily compress photo image files
          for transmission across radio and or cellular frequencies without
          degradation.

          THE THUMBNAILS IMAGES WITHING CCS CAN BE TRANSMITTED ACROSS RADIO
          AND CELLULAR FREQUENCIES.

     16.  System shall have the capability of being able to capture
          photographs of tattoos, marks, scars, or any other identifying
          characteristics.

          PHOTOS CAPTURED CAN BE MULTIPLE VIEWS OF THE ARRESTEE, AND PHOTOS
          OF ALL SCARS, MARKS, AND TATTOOS (SMT). PROPERTY, EVIDENCE AND
          CRIME SCENE PHOTOGRAPHS CAN ALSO BE ATTACHED TO EACH RECORD. ALL
          PHOTOS TAKEN WILL BE LINKED TO THE BOOKING RECORD. THIS RECORD
          CAN BE FOUND IN MULTIPLE WAYS; SEARCHING BY DEMOGRAPHIC DATA,
          USING A PHOTO AND SEARCHING WITH FACE ID, OR ACCESSING THE RECORDS
          BY THE BOOKING NUMBER OR OTHER IDENTIFYING NUMBERS.

          THE LOCATION OF THE SCAR, MARK, OR TATTOO ON THE BODY WILL BE CHOSEN
          FROM A USER-MAINTAINED LIST OF CHOICES. THERE WILL BE A DESCRIPTION
          FIELD FOR EACH SMT, WHERE ANY WORDS ON THE TATTOO CAN BE ENTERED
          AS FREE FORM TEXT INFORMATION, AND OTHER DESCRIPTIVE INFORMATION
          ABOUT THE SMT CAN BE ENTERED. WHETHER A PHOTO OF THE SMT IS TAKEN
          OR NOT, THE DESCRIPTION OF THE SMT CAN BE ENTERED.

     17.  We would like the system to have the capability of being able to
          import additional information via TWAIN (i.e. weapons, vehicles,
          or residences.)

          CCS CAN IMPORT IMAGES FROM A NUMBER OF SOURCES, INCLUDING TWAIN
          COMPLIANT DEVICES.

     18.  System shall have the ability to print out single color or black
          and white photographs on 8-1/2 x 11-inch paper.

                                      46

<PAGE>

          THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET. ANY PRINTER WITH A WINDOWS NT 4.0
          DRIVER MAY BE UTILIZED. SIX STANDARD PRINT FORMATS ARE SHIPPED
          WITH THE SYSTEM. ADDITIONAL FORMATS MAY BE PURCHASED. SMALL CHANGES
          IN THE STANDARD FORMATS WILL BE DONE AT NO CHARGE.

COMPOSITE SOFTWARE SPECIFIC

      1.  System shall include Composite software or allow for interface to
          Composite Software.

          THE PROPOSAL INCLUDES TWO COPIES OF SUSPECT ID COMPOSITE
          SOFTWARE AT NO COST.

      2.  Composite software shall be capable of creating photo realistic
          composites of suspects.

          SUSPECT ID CREATES COLOR AND B/W PHOTO REALISTIC COMPOSITES.

      3.  System shall have capability of being able to search composite of
          suspects to photo image database.

          SUSPECT ID COMPOSITES ARE COMPATIBLE WITH IMAGEWARE'S FACE ID
          FACIAL RECOGNITION SOFTWARE. IF AND WHEN, VENTURA COUNTY ADDS
          FACIAL RECOGNITION SOFTWARE TO THE MUG SERVER, COMPOSITES CAN EASILY
          BE SEARCHED AGAINST THE BOOKING DATABASE.

          FACE ID FACIAL RECOGNITION SOFTWARE CAN BE ADDED TO THE CCS SERVER
          AT ANY TIME. THIS IS A VERY POWERFUL TOOL THAT HAS MANY APPLICATIONS.
          AT THE TIME OF BOOKING, MUGSHOTS CAN BE SEARCHED AGAINST THE EXISTING
          DATABASE TO FIND POTENTIAL ALIASES AND DUPLICATES. SURVEILLANCE
          PHOTOS AND VIDEOS OF UNKNOWN SUSPECTS CAN BE SEARCHED AGAINST THE
          MUG DATABASE TO FIND POSSIBLE MATCHES BASED ON FACIAL DATA ALONE.
          ALSO, COMPOSITES GENERATED IN SUSPECT ID CAN BE SEARCHED AGAINST THE
          MUG DATABASE TO FIND POTENTIAL SUSPECTS.

          FACE ID INTEGRATES FULLY WITH CCS AND SHARES THE SAME DATA. NO
          ADDITIONAL HARDWARE MAY BE NEEDED AND IMAGES ARE ENROLLED AS THEY
          ARE BOOKED SO THERE IS NO CONVERSION COSTS.

      4.  Composite software shall have capability of being able to build
          composites that may be viewed and printed in black and white or
          full color and to accurately depict skin, hair, lip and eye colors
          or shape.

          THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET.

      5.  Composite software shall allow for imaging enhancement and editing
          program for updating old photos, and enhancements of surveillance
          videos.

          THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET. TWO COPIES OF CRIME LAB, IMAGE
          EDITING SOFTWARE, ARE INCLUDED WITH THIS SYSTEM AT NO COST.

                                      47


<PAGE>

     6.  Composite image program shall have capability of being able to add
         or remove facial hair.

         THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET.

     7.  System shall have capability of being able to accept captured video,
         digital and scanned images.

         THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET. TWO COPIES OF CRIME LAB IMAGE
         ENHANCEMENT SOFTWARE ARE INCLUDED IN THE PROPOSAL. CRIME LAB CAN BE
         USED TO CAPTURE AND ENHANCE VIDEO IMAGES. IT INTERFACES WITH ALL THE
         CRIMES MODULES TO ADD FURTHER CAPABILITIES TO EACH.

     8.  System shall include or allow for an interface to some type of
         Vehicle I.D. system. System shall provide that the vehicle database of
         this system have the capability of being able to search vehicles by
         feature, text or V.I.N. (Vehicle Identification Number). The system
         shall also accurately depict vehicles, colors, and display views of
         vehicles from various angles, including front, rear, side and three-
         quarter views.

         TWO COPIES OF VEHICLE ID ARE INCLUDED IN THE PROPOSAL. VID MEETS
         ALL OF THE ABOVE REQUIREMENTS AND ALSO INTERFACES WITH CRIME LAB TO
         PROVIDE FOR DENTS, RUST, CRACKS, ETC.

SEARCH ENGINES

     1.   The new Photo Imaging System shall have a search engine capable but
          not limited of searching by: BI#, NAME, AKA, MONIKER, PHYSICAL
          DESCRIPTION INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO HEIGHT, WEIGHT, EYE COLOR,
          HAIR COLOR, TATTOOS, MARKS AND SCARS.

          THE CCS SEARCH ENGINE HAS THE CAPABILITY OF SEARCHING ON EVERY
          FIELD THAT IS CAPTURED AND ANY COMBINATION OF THOSE FIELDS. THE USER
          CAN ALSO PERFORM KEYWORD SEARCHES ON ALL S/M/T's AND ASSOCIATED
          PHOTOGRAPHS AS WELL AS THE FREE TEXT FIELDS.

     2.   We would like the new system to be able to search by: residence and
          business address, and residence and business phone numbers. Currently,
          CCS does not search business addresses and phone numbers, however
          this feature is planned for the next version of CCS.

     3.   The new Photo Imaging System shall have the ability to query and
          print out photographs of gang members by their specific gang.

          CCS IS DELIVERED WITH 4 USER DEFINABLE FIELDS. ONE OF THESE FIELDS
          CAN BE ASSOCIATED TO GANG MEMBERS AND CAN THEN BE SEARCHED BY GANG
          AFFILIATION. THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET.

     4.   The system shall have the capability to interface with CAL-GANG and
          the future CAL-PHOTO system and be compatible with CAL-PHOTO
          standards. The new Photo Imaging System shall have the ability to
          search for tattoos by


                                       48


<PAGE>

          their description.

          CCS CAN EXPORT STANDARD NIST FILES OR B.BCT FILES TO BOTH CALGANG
          AND CALPHOTO. THESE FILES CONTAIN DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION AND THE URL
          OF THE PHOTO. TATTOO MAY BE SEARCHED BY DESCRIPTION AS WELL AS
          LOCATION. FREE TEXT CAN BE ASSOCIATED WITH EACH TATTOO AND LATER
          SEARCHED BY KEY-WORD QUERY.

    6.    We would like the system to have the capability to search tattoos by
          location on a person's body, and whether the tattoo has been
          identified as 'street gang', 'prison gang', 'hate groups'.

          THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET.



PRINTER SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

     1.   The new photo imaging system shall have the ability to print
          out black and white or color photographs using a variety of
          printers, including but not limited to those printers commonly
          referred to as 'Bubble Jet', 'Ink-Jet', 'Laser', and or other generic
          plain paper printers.

          CCS IS CAPABLE OF UTILIZING ANY PRINTER THAT HAS A WINDOWS NT 4.0
          PRINT DRIVER.

MISCELLANEOUS REQUIREMENTS

     1.   The system shall have the ability to integrate photographs and or
          information with other outside systems such as CAL-GANG and CAL-PHOTO
          (future).

          WHEN VENTURA COUNTY IS READY, CCS CAN EXPORT THE FILE TYPE THAT IS
          NEEDED BY BOTH CAL-GANG AND CAL-PHOTO. WE FULLY EXPECT VENTURA COUNTY
          TO BE A FULL PARTICIPANT IN BOTH OF THESE PROJECTS.

     2.   Capture stations shall have the capability to locally store and
          forward during times of temporary network interruptions.

          THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT FEATURE OF CCS. ALL CAPTURE STATIONS HAVE
          THIS ABILITY.

     3.   The server and work stations shall have remote 'boot/reboot'
          capability for diagnostics.

          THE IS A KEY FEATURE OF THE IBM COMPONENTS AND MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
          THAT IS UTILIZED BY CCS. THE ENTIRE SYSTEM CAN BE DIAGNOSED REMOTELY
          AND BROUGHT BACK ON-LINE WITH VERY MINIMAL DOWN TIME. THE NETFINITY
          MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE IS INSTRUMENTAL IN KEEPING MAINTENANCE COSTS
          DOWN AND THE SYSTEM UP AND RUNNING.

          HARDWARE ISSUES


                                  49


<PAGE>

     1.   All present capture and retrieval stations, remote and local, are
          to be installed at their current sites. The retrieval sites have the
          capability of being upgraded to capture stations at some future date.

          WE UNDERSTAND THIS REQUIREMENT AND WILL COMPLY.

     2.   Vendor shall properly configure and install all Photo Imaging
          Systems at the direction of the Project Manager or his designee.

          THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET.

     3.   All capture stations will be standardized with respect to uniformed
          and evenly dispersed lighting so all photographs maintain Federal,
          State and NIST standards.

          ALL CAPTURE STATIONS WILL MEET OR EXCEED FEDERAL, STATE AND NIST
          STANDARDS.

SOFTWARE SUMMARY

Following is a list of all software included with this proposal. Prices on
this software as well as prices on additional software options are included
in the pricing spread sheet.

(1) Enterprise Server Win NT 4.0 (25 License)
(1) Sybase License Server 6.0 + 5 users
(1) Sybase License 6.0 (20 User)
(1) Systems Integration - Flat File Interface w/VCJIS
(1) Systems Integration - Custom API for Image Retrieval & Site License*
(11) CCS Investigative Display Software (Full)
(10) CCS Capture Station Software
(2) Suspect ID (Composite Software)
(2) Crime Lab (Image Editing Software)
(2) Vehicle ID

SOFTWARE WARRANTIES

All non-customized software has a full 1 Year warranty. There are some
maintenance costs in the first year. Costs associated with the first year of
service include custom software maintenance, and complete 24/7 customer
service. Software and hardware maintenance cost are calculated through five
years on the Pricing spread sheet.

SOURCE CODE

The latest versions of all CRIMES modules, including CCS will be put into an
escrow account. The specifics of this escrow agreement will be outlines at
contract signing.

SOFTWARE ON-GOING MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT

Maintenance for the system software will be 7 days per week, 24 hours per
day, with all agencies in VENTURA COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE having just one
toll-free number to call for service. ImageWare will meet the response times
as outlined in the RFP. Initial calls will be received by the IWS Help Desk.
If no one is available, a call back will be made within 1 hour. Within a 24
hour period, a hardware technician will be on-site to troubleshoot and
correct the problem. Faster on-site response times may be negotiated.

                                       51

<PAGE>

If any installation within any agency will require access to restricted areas
by IWS employees, it is expected that information will be given to ImageWare
during contract negotiations. ImageWare will make any and all information
available to the VENTURA COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE for each employee who must
have access to the restricted areas.

The equipment and software supplied as part of this proposal will be fully
guaranteed for a minimum period of 12 months. All prices quoted as part of
this proposal are guaranteed for a period of 12 months.

The central server comes complete with dial-in modem, and the IBM Netfinity
Manager software and clients installed on each supplied workstation. This
will enable the customer service rep to access, and actually 'take over'
workstations when necessary to diagnose and repair any problems.

Software support first level is via toll free number to phone support. This
customer service rep has the ability to escalate the problem up to level 2
support, which is an R&D engineer. If that person requires an on-site rep,
one will be dispatched. We also include IBM hardware support with each IBM
system. Sometimes, the ImageWare programmer just needs a set of hands and
eyes on-site, and an IBM technician will be dispatched. Dial-in access is
available to both levels 1 and 2, and using Netfinity Manager, many problems
can be diagnosed and resolved by 'taking over' the workstation that is having
problems, seeing the error happen, and resolving the situation immediately
via remote connection.

HARDWARE SUMMARY

Following is a list of all hardware included with this proposal. Prices on
this hardware as well as prices on additional hardware options are included
in the pricing spread sheet. Also listed is the recommended hardware
configuration for investigative workstations.

HARDWARE WARRANTIES

All hardware that IWS supplies carries a full 1 Year warranty. IWS will not
support printers, hardware or camera sub-systems that are provided by the
County. If service is requested on any of this hardware, it can be discussed
at contract negotiations.

                                       53

<PAGE>

HARDWARE MAINTENANCE

Maintenance for the system hardware will be 7 days per week, 24 hours per
day, with all agencies in VENTURA COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE having just one
toll-free number to call for service. ImageWare will meet the response times
as outlined in the RFP. Initial calls will be received by the IWS Help Desk.
If no one is available, a call back will be made within 1 hour. Within a 24
hour period, a hardware technician will be on-site to troubleshoot and
correct the problem. Faster on-site response times may be negotiated.

If any installation within any agency will require access to restricted areas
by IWS employees, it is expected that information will be given to ImageWare
during contract negotiations. ImageWare will make any and all information
available to the VENTURA COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE for each employee who must
have access to the restricted areas.

The equipment and hardware supplied as part of this proposal will be fully
guaranteed for a minimum period of 12 months. All prices quoted as part of
this proposal are guaranteed for a period of 12 months.

The central server comes complete with dial-in modem, and the IBM Netfinity
Manager software and clients installed on each supplied workstation. This
will enable the customer service rep to access, and actually 'take over'
workstations when necessary to diagnose and repair any problems.

Software support first level is via toll free number to phone support. This
customer service rep has the ability to escalate the problem up to level 2
support, which is an R&D engineer. If that person requires an on-site rep,
one will be dispatched. We also include IBM hardware support with each IBM
system. Sometimes, the ImageWare programmer just needs a set of hands and
eyes on-site, and an IBM technician will be dispatched. Dial-in access is
available to both levels 1 and 2, and using Netfinity Manager, many problems
can be diagnosed and resolved by 'taking over' the workstation that is having
problems, seeing the error happen, and resolving the situation immediately
via remote connection.


SITE PREPARATION

Capture room specifications are included on the following page. These
specifications are required to meet NIST compliance. Any deviation from these
specifications may bring the system out of compliance. ImageWare is not
responsible for meeting NIST requirements if these specification cannot be
met.

                                       54

DATA CONVERSION SERVICES
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImageWare will convert the existing TFP proprietary database at the cost
outlined in the Price spread sheet. The database must be supplied to IWS in
an agreed upon period of time and on an agreed upon media. This conversion
will be accomplished within the three month installation period and before
the acceptance period begins. ImageWare has successfully converted this type
of database on previous occasions and does not expect to enlist the support
of Printrac or third party suppliers like Pinnacle Technologies.

SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImageWare will furnish the county with 22 copies of the CRIMES application
software documentation and manuals. Additionally, we will provide
manufacturer documentation on all hardware provided. All user and training
manuals will reflect the latest version of application software and the
version that is being installed. Additional copies may be purchased.

TRAINING
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Training time is kept to a minimum with the Crime Capture System, as it is so
easy to use. 2 days on-site training is included with the price of the
system. Class size is limited to 15 and the class style is lecture. After the
training session, users have lab time for hands-on familiarization.

Training will be accomplished at each agency location, using their system
equipment. All handout materials and reference materials will be furnished.
It is recommended that at least one training session be video taped and
duplicated for each agency for on-going training purposes.

Follow-up training is available, either on-site or at the IWS facilities. The
length of each class is outlined below:

CRIME CAPTURE SYSTEM TRAINING OUTLINE

OBJECTIVE: By the end of the training session, students will know how to book
a suspect, search a database, use the mug book function and create photo
line-ups.

CLASS SIZE: Maximum 15 students

IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Project Manager will be named by ImageWare Software, Inc., to oversee and
manage the planning, monitoring, reporting, and acceptance of the system
outlined in the proposal if ImageWare is the successful vendor. This
person's resume will be supplied during contract negotiations. It is expected
that the VENTURA COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE will also name a Project
Coordinator who will work with the IWS Project Manager, who will be
responsible for all tasks outlined as COUNTY responsibility on the task list.

                                          56

APPROACH TO PROJECT

ImageWare has a well-defined, disciplined approach to program management
which includes:

   -  Attention to customer satisfaction
   -  Regular communications with customer via weekly status meeting, monthly
      project status reports, and quarterly reviews
   -  Regularly scheduled status meetings with the project staff

ImageWare will avoid and mitigate risks by reviewing, prioritizing, and
monitoring key project risks throughout the project life cycle. Identified
project risks will be recorded and tracked to resolution. Identification of
risks and potential mitigation plans will be reviewed with the project staff
monthly, documented in the project reports, and presented to the VENTURA
COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE's Project Coordinator during the project review. By
identifying risks early before they have impacted the project, the actual
impact to the project can be decreased, if not totally eliminated. An
inescapable fact of project management is that there are always risks. The
key to ensuring a successful project is to manage them. This means the
following must be done early, before the risk actually impacts the project:

   -  Identify risks (technical, schedule, and cost)
   -  Prioritize and quantify risks
   -  Assign responsibility
   -  Mitigate (determine mitigation action, responsible person, due date)
   -  Track Progress

                        SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made as of the 7th day of
March, 1997, by and among IMAGEWARE SOFTWARE, INC., a California corporation
(the "Company"), and ATLUS CO., LTD., a Japanese corporation (the "Investor").

RECITALS:

A.   Whereas, Atlus is in the business, among other things, of photoimaging,
     computer games, software and related products and services.

B.   Whereas, ISI is in the business, among other things, of imaging,
     software and related products and services.

C.   Whereas, the Investor desires to acquire an equity interest in the
     Company and to obtain the right to use certain intellectual property
     rights of the Company.

D.   Whereas, the Company desires to sell to the Investor such equity
     interests on the terms and conditions contained herein.

E.   Whereas, the Investor and the Company are concurrently herewith entering
     into a License Agreement (the "License Agreement") with respect to the
     "Licensed Patents" and other "Intellectual Property" (as such terms are
     defined in the License Agreement).

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, and for good and
valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENT:

          1.  PURCHASE AND SALE OF STOCK.

          Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the parties
agree that:

              1.1  PHASE I SALE OF STOCK.  Upon the Effective Date (as
defined in Section 8.12 hereof) of this Agreement, the Investor shall
purchase, and the Company shall issue and sell to the investor 179,654 shares
of the Company's common stock (collectively, with all other stock to be
issued and sold hereunder, the "Securities") in consideration for the payment
of five hundred thirty eight thousand nine hundred sixty one dollars
($538,961) (the "Phase I Purchase Amount"). The Phase I Purchase Amount shall
be paid by the Investor to the Company by wire transfer to the account
designated in writing by the Company, upon execution of this Agreement and a
stock certificate for such shares shall be delivered by the Company to the
Investor simultaneously therewith.

<PAGE>

              1.2  PHASE II SALE OF STOCK.  On or prior to November 3, 1997
(California time), the Company agrees to issue and sell, and the Investor
agrees to purchase an additional 833,333 shares of the Company's common stock
in consideration for the payment of two million five hundred thousand dollars
($2,500,000) (the "Phase II Purchase Amount"). By mutual agreement, the
Company and the Investor may agree to change the Phase II Purchase Amount, in
which case such new amount shall be the Phase II Purchase Amount and the
number of purchased shares shall proportionately be adjusted. The date of
such purchase and sale of Company's common stock (the "Phase II Date") shall
be designated by the Investor by giving written notice to the Company at
least five (5) business days prior to the Phase II Date designated therein;
provided that such Phase II Date shall occur on or prior to November 3, 1997.
The Phase II Purchase Amount shall be paid by the Investor to the Company by
wire transfer to the account designated in writing by the Company, and a
stock certificate for such shares shall be delivered by the Company to the
Investor simultaneously therewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the Investor shall have the right, but not the obligation
to purchase any of the Company's common stock if (i) the Company fails to
fully comply with all terms and conditions hereof, (ii) any representation or
warranty proves to be inaccurate or misleading in any material respect, (iii)
the 1996 financial statements provided pursuant to Section 2.8 fail to
receive an unqualified opinion from Coopers & Lybrand, L.L.P. that such
financial statements present fairly and accurately, in all material respects,
the financial condition and results of operations of the Company, or (iv) the
Company fails to achieve the financial results in all material respects to
the pro-forma financial projections provided by the Company to the Investor
and attached hereto as Schedule III. If the Company meets all conditions
above in clauses (i) - (iv) by November 3, 1997 and the Investor fails to
purchase the shares of the Company's common stock by such date, then the
right of the Investor to purchase such shares of the Company's common stock
shall terminate on such date. For purposes of this Section 1.2, the Company
shall be deemed to have failed to achieve the financial projections if the
results for such period are less than sixty percent (60%) of such projected
results, as reasonably determined by the Investor.

              1.3  WARRANTS.  Prior to the date the Company effects an
underwritten initial public offering of its capital stock, the Company shall
offer, on a calendar quarterly basis, to the Investor the right to purchase a
certain number of warrants. Such number of warrants shall equal the positive
difference, if any, of (x) one-third (1/3) of the then outstanding number of
the Company's common stock (rounded to the nearest whole number) LESS (y) the
number of shares of the Company's common stock then held by the Investor.
Each warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one share of the Company's
common stock at $4.00 per share and shall be exercisable from the date of
issuance and expire five (5) years after the issuance thereof. The Investor
shall pay to the Company $0.05 for each warrant share. For the avoidance of
doubt, the above calculations and offer to sell warrants to the Investor
shall occur each quarter (until the Company effects an underwritten initial
public offering) and the Investor shall have the right, but not the
obligation to purchase such warrants.

              1.4  TERMS.  The Securities shall, when issued by the Company
and payment made therefor by the Investor, all be fully-paid and
non-assessable, and issued in compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations.

          right to acquire Registrable Securities or any permitted assignee

     the Company proposes to register any of its stock or other securities
     under the Act in connection with the public offering of such securities
     solely for cash (other than a registration relating solely to the sale
     of securities to participants in a Company stock plan or a registration
     on any form which does not include substantially the same information as
     would be required to be included in a registration statement covering
     the sale of the Registrable Securities), the Company shall, at such
     time, promptly give the Investor written notice of such registration.
     Upon the written request of the Investor given within twenty (20) days
     after mailing of such notice by the Company, the Company shall, subject
     to the provisions of this Section 5, cause to be registered under the
     Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has
     requested to be registered.

     to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company
     shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

               (a)  Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement
          with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best
          efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective,
          and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the
          Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such
          registration statement effective for up to one (1) year.

               (b)  Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
          supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used
          in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary
          to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the
          disposition of all securities covered by such registration
          statement.

               (c)  Furnish to the Investor such number of copies of
          prospectuses, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity
          with the requirements of the Act, and such other documents as they
          may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of
          Registrable Securities owned by it.

               (d)  Use its best efforts to register and qualify the
          securities covered by such registration statement under such other
          securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be

          shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition
          thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to
          service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.

               (e)  In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter
          into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement,
          in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such
          offering. The Investor participating in such underwriting shall
          also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.

                                      8
<PAGE>
               (f)  Notify the Investor of Registrable Securities covered by
          such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating
          thereto is required to be delivered under the Act of the happening
          of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such
          registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue
          statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact
          required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
          therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then
          existing.

               (g)  Furnish, at the request of the Investor when requesting

          this Section 5, if such securities are being sold through
          underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through
          underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with

          to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to
          the underwriters, if any, and to the Investor when requesting
          registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a letter dated such
          date, from the independent certified public accountants of the
          Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by
          independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an
          underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if
          any, and to the Investor when requesting registration of
          Registrable Securities.

          5.4  FURNISH INFORMATION. It shall be a condition precedent to the
     obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 5
     that the Investor shall furnish to the Company such information
     regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the
     intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required
     to effect the registration of its Registrable Securities.

          5.5  EXPENSES OF COMPANY REGISTRATION. The Company shall bear and
     pay all expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or

     without registration, the Company agrees to:

               (a)  make and keep public information available, as those
          terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times

     (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively
     or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the
     Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities. Any amendment or
     waiver effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon
     each Holder of any Securities purchased under this Agreement at the time
     outstanding (including securities into which such securities are
     convertible), each future Holder of all such Securities, and the
     Company.

     6.  RIGHTS TO FUTURE PURCHASES OF SECURITIES.

         6.1  RIGHT OF PARTICIPATION. In the event that the Company, at any
     time and from time to time after the date of this Agreement and prior to
     an event described in Section 6.3 below, desires to offer, directly or
     indirectly, shares of its capital stock or securities exchangeable or
     convertible into its capital stock ("Stock") to any persons (except
     Stock offered pursuant to a merger or acquisition transaction in which
     the Company purchases another entity or the business of substantially
     all of the assets of another entity or offers of Stock pursuant to
     options granted or to be granted under the Company's Employee Stock
     Option Plan or its non-qualified Stock Option Plan, pursuant to which a
     maximum of 500,000 shares, as adjusted for changes through merger,
     consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock
     split or other change in corporate or capital structure, may be approved
     by the Company's shareholders), then the Company shall send each such
     time a written notice ("Notice") to the Investor, prior to or
     contemporaneous with offering Stock to such persons, and in any event no
     less than thirty (30) business days prior to the proposed closing date
     of the sale of Stock. The Notice(s) shall describe the number of shares
     of Stock offered and the purchase price and terms. Upon receipt of any
     Notice, the Investor shall have the right ("Participation Right") to
     purchase such number of shares of Stock being sold in the offering that
     is the subject of the Notice, at the price and on the terms contained in
     the Notice, as is computed by multiplying the total number of shares of
     Stock being offered by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
     number of Securities held by the Investor as of the date of the Notice
     and the denominator of which shall be the number of outstanding shares
     of Stock as of the date of the Notice.

                                     10

Participation Right. The Investor must tender the funds and purchase its
proportionate share of the Stock on the date otherwise set for the closing of
the purchase, subject only to the closing of the purchase with the other
buyers. If the Investor does not exercise its right in the manner described
in this Section 6.2, the Participation Right will lapse with respect to that
offering.

          6.3  TERM AND EXCEPTIONS TO PARTICIPATION RIGHT. The Participation
Right shall commence on the day of this Agreement and shall extend until, and

indirectly, over five percent (5%) of the outstanding stock equity of the
Company.

     8.   MISCELLANEOUS.

          8.1  SURVIVAL OF WARRANTIES. The warranties, representations and
covenants of the Company contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement for such period as
the Securities, in whole or in part, remain outstanding, and shall in no way
be affected by any investigation of the subject matter thereof made by or on
behalf of the Investor.

          8.2  ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof, and supersedes and replaces any and all prior agreements,

                  AMENDMENT TO SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT
                             AND LICENSE AGREEMENT

     THIS AMENDMENT TO SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT
(the "Amendment"") is made and entered into effective as of August 17, 1998
by and between ImageWare Software, Inc., a California corporation (the
"Company") and Atlus Co., Ltd., a Japanese corporation ("Atlus"), with
reference to the following facts:

A.   The Company and Atlus entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement
     (the"Securities Agreement") dated March 7, 1997, which grants to Atlus
     certain rights with respect to the Company's issuance of securities and
     other corporate actions taken by the Company, and the License Agreement
     dated March 7, 1997, as subsequently amended, (the "License Agreement"),
     which grants a license to certain intellectual property of the Company
     to Atlus.

B.   The Company desires to offer (the "Offering") securities to raise
     investment capital pursuant to the terms of a Private Placement
     Memorandum dated on or about August 17, 1998, as may be amended or
     supplemented, and Atlus desires for the Company to conduct the Offering.

C.   The Company and Atlus desire to amend certain provisions of the
     Securities Agreement and the License Agreement.

D.   Atlus Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Atlus, was a party
     to a lawsuit (the "Lawsuit") filed in the United States District court
     for the Central District of California against American Photo Booths,
     Inc., SNK Corporation of America and SNK Corporation entitled ATLUS
     DREAM ENTERTAINMENT CO., LTD. V. AMERICAN PHOTO BOOTHS, INC., SNK
     CORPORATION OF AMERICA AND SNK CORPORATION, Case No. CV 97-8707 WJR
     (RZx), relating to a patent licensed by the Company to Atlus pursuant to
     the terms of the License Agreement, which Lawsuit has been dismissed.

E.   The Company and Atlus entered into a Litigation Costs Agreement (the
     "Litigation Costs Agreement") dated January 23, 1998 pursuant to which
     Atlus agreed to indemnify the Company for certain costs and fees related
     to the Lawsuit, and the Company and Atlus desire that the Company
     reimburse Atlus for such legal fees and costs.

F.   The Company and Atlus desire that the Company assign to Atlus two
     patents owned by the Company and the Company obtain a license to use such
     technology in areas outside of photo booth entertainment applications.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and for good
and valuable consideration the sufficiency of which the parties acknowledge,
the parties agree as follows:

     1.   WARRANTS. Within thirty (30) days after the date of the closing
(the "Closing") of the Offering the Company shall issue to Atlus warrants
(the "Warrants") to purchase 430,000 shares of common stock of the Company at
an exercise price per share which is equivalent to the price per share of the
securities issued in the Offering. The Warrants shall be exercisable within
five (5) years

<PAGE>

of the date of their issuance. Paragraph 1.3 of the Securities Agreement shall
be deleted in its entirety and of no further effect as of the date of the
Closing.

     2.   CONSENT OF ATLUS. Atlus hereby consents to the Offering which will
include the Company's issuance of securities with rights, privileges and
preferences superior to the existing common and preferred stock of the
Company. Atlus also consents to any and all changes or amendments to the
Articles of Incorporation (including the Certificates of Determination) or
Bylaws of the Company necessary for or related to the Offering and covenants
that it will vote all of the voting securities of the Company over which it
has the  power to vote in favor of such changes or amendments. Atlus hereby
ratifies its consent to any and all actions approved by the Board of
Directors of the Company for which Atlus's consent was required pursuant to
Paragraph 4.3 of the Securities Agreement. Paragraph 4.3 of the Securities
Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and of no further effect as of the
date of this Amendment.

     3.   RIGHT OF PARTICIPATION AND NOTICE. This Amendment shall be deemed
to be notice by Atlus to the Company pursuant to Paragraphs 6.1 and 6.2 of
the Securities Agreement that Atlus has elected not to participate in the
Offering. Paragraphs 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 7 of the Securities Agreement shall be
deleted in their entirety and of no further effect as of the date of the
Closing.

     4.   REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS AND FEES. Within thirty (30) days after the
Closing, the Company shall reimburse Atlus, in an amount not to exceed
$125,000.00, for costs and fees incurred by the Company which relate to the
Lawsuit for which Atlus has indemnified the Company pursuant to the terms of
the Litigation Costs Agreement.

     5.   ASSIGNMENT OF PATENTS. Within thirty (30) days after the Closing,
the Company will assign to Atlus all of its right, title and interest in
United States Patent No. 5,343,386 issued August 30, 1994, United States
Patent No. 5,345,313 issued September 9, 1994, United States Patent No.
5,687,306 issued November 11, 1997, and all continuation applications
accompanying such patents (collectively, the "Patents"). Prior to the
assignment of the Patents hereunder, the Company and Atlus shall enter into a
license agreement granting the Company a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free
right to use the technology underlying the Patents in areas outside of photo
booth entertainment applications, which areas shall include the use of the
technology for the creation of driver's licenses, passports and
identification cards which can be dispensed from a kiosk. The License
Agreement shall be amended to delete any and all references to the Patents.

     6.   SECURITIES AGREEMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT. Except as amended
herein, all other terms and conditions of the Securities Agreement and
License Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

     7.   MUTUAL RELEASES. The Company, on the one hand, and Atlus, on the
other, individually and collectively, for themselves and for their
predecessors, successors, attorneys, representatives, and assignees, hereby
fully and forever release and discharge the other, individually and
collectively, and their present and former officers, directors, employees,
representatives and attorneys, and

                                       2
<PAGE>

predecessors, assignees and successors of each of them, from all claims,
actions, causes of action, demands, cross-claims, counter-claims,
obligations, contracts, indemnities, contributions, suits, debts, sums,
accounts, controversies, rights, damages, costs, attorney's fees, losses,
expenses and liabilities whatsoever, in law, equity or otherwise (contingent,
accrued, mature, direct, derivative, subrogated, personal, assigned,
discovered, undiscovered, inchoate or otherwise)(hereinafter "claims") which
either may now have or have had or which may hereafter accrue, individually,
collectively or otherwise in connection with, relating to or arising out of
the Lawsuit, the Securities Agreement, the License Agreement, or any other
event or occurrence having taken place before the date of this Amendment.

     This release does not apply to obligations undertaken or reaffirmed by a
party hereto in the Section 1 through 5 above.

     8.   WAIVER OF SECTION 1542 OF THE CIVIL CODE. Section 1542 of the
California Civil Code provides:

          A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does
          not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing
          the release, which if known by him must have materially affected
          his settlement with the debtor.

     The Company and Atlus each expressly waive and relinquish any and all
rights and benefits which it may have under, or which may be conferred upon
it by the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, as well as
any other similar state or federal statute or common law principle, to the
fullest extent it may lawfully waive such rights and benefits. The Company
and Atlus are each aware that it may hereafter discover claims in addition to
or different from those which it now knows or believes to exist, but it is
its intention to release any such claim without knowing of its existence.
The Company and Atlus are each aware that it may hereafter discover facts in
addition to or different from that which it now knows or believes to exist,
relating to released claims, but it is its intention to release any such
claim without knowing of such facts. This release shall remain in effect as a
full, complete and mutual release of all claims notwithstanding the discovery
hereafter of the existence of any presently unknown claims or facts.

     9.   CHOICE OF LAW. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California without reference to its
choice of law rules.

     10.  COUNTERPARTS. This Amendment may be executed in one or more
counterparts (and by facsimile), each of which shall be deemed an original,
but all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

                                    NOTE

$700,000.00                       SAN DIEGO , California      JANUARY 15, 1998

On JULY 15, 1998, and as hereinafter provided, for value received, the
undersigned promises to pay to IMPERIAL BANK ("Bank") a California banking
corporation, or order, at its SAN DIEGO REGIONAL office, the principal sum of
$700,000.00 or such sums up to the maximum if so stated, as the Bank may now
or hereafter advance to or for the benefit of the undersigned in accordance
with the terms hereof, together with interest from date of disbursement or
N/A, whichever is later, on the unpaid principal balance / / at the rate of
___% per year /x/ at the rate of 2.000% per year in excess of the rate of
interest which Bank has announced as its prime lending rate (the "Prime
Rate"), which shall vary concurrently with any change in such Prime Rate, or
$250.00, whichever is greater. Interest shall be computed at the above rate
on the basis of the actual number of days during which the principal balance
is outstanding, divided by 360, which shall, for interest computation
purposes, be considered one year.

Interest shall be payable /x/ monthly / / quarterly / / included with
principal / / in addition to principal / / beginning FEBRUARY 15, 1998, and
if not so paid shall become a part of the principal. All payments shall be
applied first to any late charges owing, then to interest and the remainder,
if any, to principal. / / (if checked), Principal shall be payable in
installments of $    , or more, each installment on the          day of each
        , beginning         . Advances not to exceed any unpaid balance owing
at any one time equal to the maximum amount specified above, may be made at
the option of Bank.

     Any partial prepayment shall be applied to the installments, if any, in
inverse order of maturity. Should default be made in the payment of principal
or interest when due, or in the performance or observance, when due, of any
item, covenant or condition of any deed of trust, security agreement or other
agreement (including amendments or extensions thereof) securing or pertaining
to this note, at the option of the holder hereof and without notice or
demand, the entire balance of principal and accrued interest then remaining
unpaid shall (a) become immediately due and payable, and (b) thereafter bear
interest, until paid in full, at the increased rate of 5% per year in excess
of the rate provided for above, as it may vary from time to time.

     Defaults shall include, but not be limited to, the failure of the
maker(s) to pay principal or interest when due; the filing as to each person
obligated hereon, whether as maker, co-maker, endorser or guarantor
(individually or collectively referred to as the "Obligor") of a voluntary or
involuntary petition under the provisions of the Federal Bankruptcy Act; the
issuance of any attachment or execution against any asset of any Obligor; the
death of any Obligor; or any deterioration of the financial condition of any
Obligor which results in the holder hereof considering itself, in good faith,
insecure.

     If any installment payment, interest payment, principal payment or
principal balance payment due hereunder is delinquent ten or more days,
Obligor agrees to pay Bank a late charge in the amount of 5% of the payment
so due and unpaid, in addition to the payment; but nothing in this paragraph
is to be construed as any obligation on the part of the holder of this note
to accept payment of any payment past due or less than the total unpaid
principal balance after maturity.

     If this note is not paid when due, each Obligor promises to pay all
costs and expenses of collection and reasonable attorneys fees incurred by the
holder hereof on account of such collection, plus interest at the rate
applicable to principal, whether or not suit is filed hereon. Each Obligor
shall be jointly and severally liable hereon and consents to renewals,
replacements and extensions of time for payment hereof, before, at, or after
maturity; consents to the acceptance, release or substitution of security for
this note; and waives demand and protest and the right to assert any statute
of limitations. Any married person who signs this note agrees that recourse
may be had against separate property for any obligations hereunder. The
indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be payable in lawful money of the United
States. In any action brought under or arising out of this note, each
Obligor, including successor(s) or assign(s) hereby consents to the
application of California law, to the jurisdiction of any competent court
within the State of California, and to service of process by any means
authorized by California law.

     No single or partial exercise of any power hereunder, or under any deed
of trust, security agreement or other agreement in connection herewith shall
preclude other or further exercises thereof or the exercise of any other such
power. The holder hereof shall at all times have the right to proceed against
any portion of the security for this note in such order and in such manner as
such holder may consider appropriate, without waiving any rights with respect
to any of the security. Any delay or omission on the part of the holder
hereof in exercising any right hereunder, or under any deed of trust,
security agreement or other agreement, shall not operate as a waiver of such
right, or of any other right, under this note or any deed of trust, security
agreement or other agreement in connection herewith.

THIS NOTE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE CREDIT TERMS AND
CONDITIONS AGREEMENT DATED JANUARY 15, 1998 AND ALL AMENDMENTS THERETO AND
REPLACEMENTS THEREFOR.

                          SECURITY AGREEMENT (CONTINUED)

Obligor represents, warrants and agrees:
  1. Obligor will immediately pay (a) any Debt when due, (b) Bank's costs of
collecting the Debt, of [illegible], insuring or realizing on Collateral,
and any expenditure of Bank pursuant hereto, including attorneys' fees and
expenses, with interest at the rate of 24% per year, or the rate applicable
to the Debt, whichever is less, from the date of expenditure, and (c) any
deficiency after realization of Collateral.

  2. Obligor will use the proceeds of any loan that becomes Debt hereunder
for the purpose indicated on the application therefore, and will promptly
contract to purchase and pay the purchase price of any property which becomes
Collateral hereunder from the proceeds of any loan made for that purpose.

  3. As to all Collateral in Obligor's possession (unless specifically
     otherwise agreed to by Bank in writing), Obligor will:
     (a) Have, or has, possession of the Collateral at the location disclosed
     to Bank and will not remove the Collateral from the location.
     (b) Keep the Collateral separate and identifiable.
     (c) Maintain the Collateral in good and saleable condition, repair it if
     necessary, clean, feed, shelter, water, medicate, fertilize, cultivate,
     irrigate, prune and otherwise deal with the Collateral in all such ways
     as are considered good practice by owners of like property, use it
     lawfully and only as permitted by insurance policies, and permit Bank to
     inspect the Collateral at any reasonable time.
     (d) Not sell, contract to sell, lease, encumber or transfer the
     Collateral (other than inventory Collateral) until the Debt has been
     paid, even though Bank has a security interest in proceeds of such
     Collateral.

  4. As to Collateral which is inventory and accounts, Obligor:
     (a) May, until notice from Bank, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of
     inventory Collateral in the ordinary course of business only, and
     collect the cash proceeds thereof.
     (b) Will, upon notice from Bank, deposit all cash proceeds as received
     in a demand deposit account with Bank, containing only such proceeds and
     deliver statements identifying units of inventory disposed of, accounts
     which gave rise to proceeds, and all acquisitions and returns of
     inventory as required by Bank.
     (c) Will receive in trust, schedule on forms satisfactory to the Bank
     and deliver to Bank all non-cash proceeds other than inventory received
     in trade.
     (d) If not in default, may obtain release of Bank's interest in
     individual units of inventory upon request, therefore, payment to Bank
     of the release price of such units shown on any Collateral schedule
     supplementary hereto, and compliance herewith as to proceeds thereof.

  5. As to Collateral which are accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles
     and proceeds described in 4(c) above, Obligor warrants, represents and
     agrees:
     (a) All such Collateral is genuine, enforceable in accordance with its
     terms, free from default, prepayment, defense and conditions precedent
     (except as disclosed to and accepted by Bank in writing), and is
     supported by consecutively numbered invoices to, or rights against, the
     debtors thereon. Obligor will supply Bank with duplicate invoices or
     other evidence of Obligor's rights on Bank's request:
     (b) All persons appearing to be obligated on such Collateral have
     authority and capacity to contract;
     (c) All chattel paper is in compliance with law as to form, content and
     manner of preparation and execution and has been properly registered,
     recorded, and/or filed to protect Obligor's interest thereunder;
     (d) If an account debtor shall also be indebted to Obligor on another
     obligation, any payment made by him not specifically designated to be
     applied on any particular obligation shall be considered to be a payment
     on the account in which Bank has a security interest. Should any
     remittance include a payment not on an account, it shall be delivered to
     Bank and, if no event of default has occurred, Bank shall pay Obligor
     the amount of such payment;
     (e) Obligor agrees not to compromise, settle or adjust any account or
     renew or extend the time of payment thereof without Bank's prior
     written consent.

  6. Obligor owns all Collateral absolutely, and no other person has or
claims any interest in any Collateral, except as disclosed to and accepted by
Bank in writing. Obligor will defend any proceeding which may affect title to
or Bank's security interest in any Collateral, and will indemnify and hold
Bank free and harmless from all costs and expenses of Bank's defense.

  7. Obligor will pay when due all existing or future charges, liens or
encumbrances on and all taxes and assessments now or hereafter imposed on or
affecting the Collateral and, if the Collateral is in Obligor's possession,
the realty on which the Collateral is located.

  8. Obligor will insure the Collateral with Bank as loss payee in form and
amounts with companies, and against risks and liability satisfactory to Bank,
and hereby assigns such policies to Bank, agrees to deliver them to Bank at
Bank's request, and authorizes Bank to make any claim thereunder, to cancel
the insurance on Obligor's default, and to receive payment of and endorse any
instrument in payment of any loss or return premium. If Obligor should fail
to deliver the required policy or policies to the Bank, Bank may, at
Obligor's cost and expense, without any duty to do so, get and pay for
insurance naming as the insured, at Bank's option, either both Obligor and
Bank, or only Bank, and the cost thereof shall be secured by this Security
Agreement, and shall be repayable as provided in Paragraph 1 above.

  9. Obligor will give Bank any information it requires. All information at
any time supplied to Bank by Obligor (including, but not limited to, the value
and condition of Collateral, financial statements, financing statements, and
statements made in documentary Collateral) is correct and complete, and
Obligor will notify Bank of any adverse change in such information. Obligor
will promptly notify Bank of any change of Obligor's residence, chief
executive office or mailing address.

  10. Bank is irrevocably appointed Obligor's attorney-in-fact to do any act
which Obligor is obligated hereby to do, to exercise such rights as Obligor
may exercise, to use such equipment as Obligor might use, to enter Obligor's
premises to give notice of Bank's security interest, and to collect
Collateral and proceeds and to execute and file in Obligor's name any
financing statements and amendments thereto required to perfect Bank's
security interest hereunder, all to protect and preserve the Collateral and
Bank's rights hereunder. Bank may:
     (a) Endorse, collect and receive delivery or payment of instruments and
     documents constituting Collateral;
     (b) Make extension agreements with respect to or affecting Collateral,
     exchange it for other Collateral, release persons liable thereon or take
     security for the payment thereof, and compromise disputes in connection
     therewith;
     (c) Use or operate Collateral for the purpose of preserving Collateral
     or its value and for preserving or liquidating Collateral.

  11. If more than one Obligor signs this Agreement, their liability is joint
and several. Any Obligor who is married agrees that recourse may be had
against separate property for the Debt. Discharge of any Obligor except for
full payment, or any extension, forbearance, change of rate of interest, or
acceptance, release or substitution of Collateral or any impairment or
suspension of Bank's rights against an Obligor, or any transfer of an
Obligor's interest to another shall not affect the liability of any other
Obligor. Until the Debt shall have been paid or performed in full, Bank's
rights shall continue even if the Debt is outlawed. All Obligors waive: (a)
any right to require Bank to proceed against any Obligor before any other, or
to pursue any other remedy; (b) presentment, protest and notice of protest,
demand and notice of nonpayment, demand or performance, notice of sale and
advertisement of sale; (c) any right to the benefit of or to direct the
application of any Collateral until the Debt shall have been paid; (d) and
any right of subrogation to Bank until Debt shall have been paid or performed
in full.

  12. Upon default, at Bank's option, without demand or notice, all or any
part of the Debt shall immediately become due. Bank shall have all rights
given by law, and may sell, in one or more sales, Collateral in any county
where Bank has an office. Bank may purchase at such sale. Sales for cash or on
credit to a wholesaler, retailer or user of the Collateral, or at public or
private auction, are all to be considered commercially reasonable. Bank may
require Obligor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Bank at
the entrance to the location of the Collateral, or a place designated by Bank.
     Defaults shall include:
     (a) Obligor's failure to pay or perform this or any agreement with
     Bank or breach of any warranty herein, or Borrower's failure to pay or
     perform any agreement with Bank.
     (b) Any change in Obligor's or Borrower's financial condition which in
     Bank's judgment impairs the prospect of Borrower's payment or
     performance. (c) Any actual or reasonably anticipated deterioration of
     the Collateral or in the market price thereof which causes it, in the
     Bank's judgment, to become unsatisfactory as security.
     (d) Any levy or seizure against Borrower or any of the Collateral.
     (e) Death, termination of business, assignment for creditors,
     insolvency, appointment of receiver, or the filing of any petition under
     bankruptcy or debtor's relief laws of, by or against Obligor or
     Borrower or any guarantor of the Debt.
     (f) Any warranty or representation which is false or is believed in good
     faith by Bank to be false.

  13. Bank's acceptance of partial or delinquent payments or the failure of
Bank to exercise any right or remedy shall not waive any obligation of
Obligor or Borrower or right of Bank to modify this Agreement, or waive any
other similar default.

  14. On transfer of all or any part of the Debt, Bank may transfer all or
any part of the Collateral. Bank may deliver all or any part of the
Collateral to any Obligor at any time. Any such transfer or delivery shall
discharge Bank from all liability and responsibility with respect to such
Collateral transferred or delivered. This Agreement benefits Bank's
successors and assigns and binds Obligor's heirs, legatees, personal
representatives, successors and assigns. Obligor agrees not to assert against
any assignee of Bank any claim or defense that may exist against Bank. Time
is of the essence. This Agreement and supplementary schedules hereto contain
the entire security agreement between Bank and Obligor. Obligor will execute
any additional agreements, assignments or documents reasonably required by
Bank to carry this Agreement into effect.

  15. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of California, to the jurisdiction of whose courts the
Obligor hereby agrees to submit. Obligor agrees that service of process may
be accomplished by any means authorized by California law. All words used
herein in the singular shall be considered to have been used in the plural
where the context and construction so require.

  16. To the extent that Obligor acquires any trademarks, service marks,
trade names and service names and/or the goodwill associated therewith,
copyrights, patents and/or patent applications (collectively "Intellectual
Property"), Obligor shall give prompt notice thereof to Bank and shall take
any and all actions requested from time to time by Bank to perfect Obligor's
interest in such Intellectual Property and to perfect Bank's first priority
interest therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Obligor agrees as follows: Upon Obligor creating, writing, producing or
acquiring any software, computer source codes or other computer programs
(collectively, the "Software"), Obligor shall promptly register such Software
with the U.S. Copyright Office and to the extent Obligor's rights therein are
acquired from any third party, Obligor shall promptly upon such acquisition
file with the U.S. Copyright Office any and all documents necessary to
perfect Obligor's rights therein. Upon Obligor creating, writing, producing
or otherwise acquiring any Software, Obligor shall give prompt notice thereof
to Bank. Obligor shall execute and deliver to Bank any and all copyright
mortgages, UCC financing statements and other documents and instruments which
Bank may request in connection with the Bank perfecting its first priority
security interest in such Software.

PRINCIPAL AMOUNT:  $500,000.00                      INITIAL RATE:  10.500%                  DATE OF NOTE: SEPTEMBER 18, 1998

</TABLE>

PROMISE TO PAY. IMAGEWARE SOFTWARE, INC. ("BORROWER") PROMISES TO PAY TO
IMPERIAL BANK ("LENDER"), OR ORDER, IN LAWFUL MONEY OF THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA, THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND & 00/100 DOLLARS
($500,000.00), TOGETHER WITH INTEREST ON THE UNPAID PRINCIPAL BALANCE FROM
SEPTEMBER 18, 1998, UNTIL PAID IN FULL.

PAYMENT. BORROWER WILL PAY THIS LOAN IN ONE PRINCIPAL PAYMENT OF $500,000.00
PLUS INTEREST ON JANUARY 15, 1999. THIS PAYMENT DUE JANUARY 15, 1999, WILL BE
FOR ALL PRINCIPAL AND ACCRUED INTEREST NOT YET PAID. IN ADDITION, BORROWER
WILL PAY REGULAR MONTHLY PAYMENTS OF ALL ACCRUED UNPAID INTEREST DUE AS OF
EACH PAYMENT DATE, BEGINNING OCTOBER 15, 1998, WITH ALL SUBSEQUENT INTEREST
PAYMENTS TO BE DUE ON THE SAME DAY OF EACH MONTH AFTER THAT.  The annual
interest rate for this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by
applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of 360 days,
multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual
number of days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will pay Lender
at Lender's address shown above or at such other place as Lender may
designate in writing. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law,
payments will be applied first to any unpaid collection costs and any late
charges, then to any unpaid interest, and any remaining amount to principal.

VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject to change
from time to time based on changes in an index which is the Imperial Bank
Prime Rate (the "Index"). The Prime Rate is the rate announced by Lender as
its Prime Rate of interest from time to time. Lender will tell Borrower the
current Index rate upon Borrower's request. Borrower understands that Lender
may make loans based on other rates as well. The interest rate change will
not occur more often than each day. THE INDEX CURRENTLY IS 8.500%. THE
INTEREST RATE TO BE APPLIED TO THE UNPAID PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF THIS NOTE WILL
BE AT A RATE OF 2,000 PERCENTAGE POINTS OVER THE INDEX, RESULTING IN AN
INITIAL RATE OF 10.500%. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest
rate on this Note be more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.

PREPAYMENT: MINIMUM INTEREST CHARGE. In any event, even upon full prepayment
of this Note, Borrower understands that Lender is entitled to a MINIMUM
INTEREST CHARGE OF $250.00. Other than Borrower's obligation to pay any
minimum interest charge, Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of
the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless
agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to
continue to make payments under the payment schedule. Rather, they will
reduce the principal balance due.

LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 10 DAYS OR MORE LATE, Borrower will be charged
5.000% OF THE UNPAID PORTION OF THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED PAYMENT.

DEFAULT. Borrower will be in default if any of the following happens: (a)
Borrower fails to make any payment when due. (b) Borrower breaks any promise
Borrower has made to Lender, or Borrower fails to comply with or to perform
when due any other term, obligation, covenant, or condition contained in this
Note or any agreement related to this Note, or in any other agreement or loan
Borrower has with Lender. (c) Any representation or statement made or
furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf is false or
misleading in any material respect either now or at the time made or
furnished. (d) Borrower becomes insolvent, a receiver is appointed for any
part of Borrower's property, Borrower makes an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or any proceeding is commenced either by Borrower or against
Borrower under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws. (e) Any creditor tries to
take any of Borrower's property on or in which Lender has a lien or security
interest. This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower's accounts with
Lender. (f) Any guarantor dies or any of the other events described in this
default section occurs with respect to any guarantor of this Note. (g) A
material adverse change occurs in Borrower's financial condition, or Lender
believes the prospect of payment or performance of the indebtedness is
impaired. (h) Lender in good faith deems itself insecure.

If any default, other than a default in payment, is curable and if Borrower
has not been given a notice of a breach of the same provision of this Note
within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured (and no event of
default will have occurred) if Borrower, after receiving written notice from
Lender demanding cure of such default: (a) cures the default within ten (10)
days; or (b) if the cure requires more than ten (10) days, immediately
initiates steps which Lender deems in Lender's sole discretion to be
sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continues and completes all
reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as
reasonably practical.

LENDER'S RIGHTS. Upon default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal
balance on this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, without
notice, and then Borrower will pay that amount. Upon Borrower's failure to
pay all amounts declared due pursuant to this section, including failure to
pay upon final maturity, Lender, at this option, may also, if permitted under
applicable law, do one or both of the following: (a) increase the variable
interest rate on this Note to 7.000 percentage points over the Index, and (b)
add any unpaid accrued interest to principal and such sum will bear interest
therefrom until paid at the rate provided in this Note (including any
increased rate). Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect this
Note if Borrower does not pay.  Borrower also will pay Lender that amount.
This includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender's
attorneys' fees and Lender's legal expenses whether or not there is a
lawsuit, including attorneys' fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy
proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or
injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services.
Borrower also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums
provided by law. THIS NOTE HAS BEEN DELIVERED TO LENDER AND ACCEPTED BY
LENDER IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. IF THERE IS A LAWSUIT, BORROWER AGREES
UPON LENDER'S REQUEST TO SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF LOS
ANGELES COUNTY, THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. LENDER AND BORROWER HEREBY WAIVE THE
RIGHT TO ANY JURY TRIAL IF ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY
EITHER LENDER OR BORROWER AGAINST THE OTHER. (INITIAL HERE [ILLEGIBLE]). THIS
NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

DISHONORED ITEM FEE.  Borrower will pay a fee to Lender of $25.00 if Borrower
makes a payment on Borrower's loan and the check or preauthorized charge with
which Borrower pays is later dishonored.

RIGHT OF SETOFF. Borrower grants to Lender a contractual security interest
in, and hereby assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges, and transfers to Lender
all Borrower's right, title and interest in and to, Borrower's accounts with
Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account), including without
limitation all accounts held jointly with someone else and all accounts
Borrower may open in the future, excluding however all IRA and Keogh
accounts, and all trust accounts for which the grant of a security interest
would be prohibited by law. Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on this Note
against any and all such accounts.

CREDIT TERMS AND CONDITIONS AGREEMENT. This Note is subject to the provisions
of the Credit Terms and Conditions Agreement dated January 15, 1998 and all
amendments thereto and replacements therefor.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE. Borrower affirmatively covenants that it will perform
all acts reasonably necessary to ensure that (a) Borrower and any business in
which Borrower holds a substantial interest, and (b) all customers, suppliers
and vendors that are material to Borrower's business, become Year 2000
Compliant in a timely manner. Such acts shall include, without limitation,
performing a comprehensive review and assessment of all Borrower's systems
and adopting a detailed plan, with itemized budget, for the remediation,
monitoring and testing of such systems. As used in this paragraph, "Year 2000
Compliant" shall mean, in regard to any entity, that all software, hardware,
firmware, equipment, goods or systems utilized by or material to the business
operations or financial condition of such entity, will properly perform date
sensitive functions before, during and after the year 2000. Borrower shall,
immediately upon request, provide to Bank such certifications or other
evidence of Borrower's compliance with the terms of this paragraph as Bank
may from time to time require.

REPRESENTATION REGARDING YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE. Borrower and its subsidiaries,
as applicable, represent and warrant that they have reviewed the areas within
their operations and business which could be adversely affected by, and have
developed or are developing a program to address on a timely basis, the Year
2000 Problem and have made related appropriate inquiry of material suppliers
and vendors, and based on such review and program, the Year 2000 Problem will
not have a material adverse effect upon their financial condition, operations
or business as now conducted. "Year 2000 Problem" means the possibility that
any computer applications or equipment used by Borrower may be unable to
recognize and properly perform date sensitive functions involving certain
dates prior to and any dates on or after December 31, 1999.

                        SECURITY AGREEMENT (CONTINUED)

Obligor represents, warrants and agrees:

  1. Obligor will immediately pay (a) any Debt when due, (b) Bank's costs of
collecting the Debt, of [ILLEGIBLE], insuring or realizing on Collateral, and
any expenditure of Bank pursuant hereto, including attorneys' fees and
expenses, with interest at the rate of 24% per year, or the rate applicable
to the Debt, whichever is less, from the date of expenditure, and (c) any
deficiency after realization of Collateral.

  2. Obligor will use the proceeds of any loan that becomes Debt hereunder
for the purpose indicated on the application therefore, and will promptly
contract to purchase and pay the purchase price of any property which becomes
Collateral hereunder from the proceeds of any loan made for that purpose.

  3. As to all Collateral in Obligor's Possession (unless specifically
otherwise agreed to by Bank in writing), Obligor will:

     (a) Have, or has, possession of the Collateral at the location disclosed
     to Bank and will not remove the Collateral from the location.

     (b) Keep the Collateral separate and identifiable.

     (c) Maintain the Collateral in good and saleable condition, repair it if
     necessary, clean, feed, shelter, water, medicate, fertilize, cultivate,
     irrigate, prune and otherwise deal with the Collateral in all such ways as
     are considered good practice by owners of like property, use it lawfully
     and only as permitted by insurance policies, and permit Bank to inspect
     the Collateral at any reasonable time.

     (d) Not sell, contract to sell, lease, encumber or transfer the
     Collateral (other than inventory Collateral) until the Debt has been
     paid, even though Bank has a security interest in proceeds of such
     Collateral.

  4. As to Collateral which is inventory and accounts, Obligor:

     (a) May, until notice from Bank, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of
     inventory Collateral in the ordinary course of business only, and
     collect the cash proceeds thereof.

     (b) Will, upon notice from Bank, deposit all cash proceeds as received
     in a demand deposit account with Bank, containing only such proceeds and
     deliver statements identifying units of inventory disposed of, accounts
     which gave rise to proceeds, and all acquisitions and returns of
     inventory as required by Bank.

     (c) Will receive in trust, schedule on forms satisfactory to the Bank
     and deliver to Bank all non-cash proceeds other than inventory received
     in trade.

     (d) If not in default, may obtain release of Bank's interest in
     individual units of inventory upon request, therefore, payment to Bank
     of the release price of such units shown on any Collateral schedule
     supplementary hereto, and compliance herewith as to proceeds thereof.

  5. As to Collateral which are accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles
and proceeds described in 4(c) above, Obligor warrants, represents and agrees:

     (a) All such Collateral is genuine, enforceable in accordance with its
     terms, free from default, prepayment, defense and conditions precedent
     (except as disclosed to and accepted by Bank in writing), and is
     supported by consecutively numbered invoices to, or rights against, the
     debtors thereon. Obligor will supply Bank with duplicate invoices or
     other evidence of Obligor's rights on Bank's request;

     (b) All persons appearing to be obligated on such Collateral have
     authority and capacity to contract;

     (c) All chattel paper is in compliance with law as to form, content and
     manner of preparation and execution and has been properly registered,
     recorded and/or filed to protect Obligor's interest thereunder;

     (d) If an account debtor shall also be indebted to Obligor on another
     obligation, any payment made by him not specifically designated to be
     applied on any particular obligation shall be considered to be a payment
     on the account in which Bank has a security interest. Should any
     remittance include a payment not on an account, it shall be delivered to
     Bank and, if no event of default has occurred, Bank shall pay Obligor
     the amount of such payment;

     (e) Obligor agrees not to compromise, settle or adjust any account or
     renew or extend the time of payment thereof without Bank's prior written
     consent.

  6. Obligor owns all Collateral absolutely, and no other person has or claims
any interest in any Collateral, except as disclosed to and accepted by Bank in
writing. Obligor will defend any proceeding which may affect title to or
Bank's security interest in any Collateral, and will indemnify and hold Bank
free and harmless from all costs and expenses of Bank's defense.

  7. Obligor will pay when due all existing or future charges, liens or
encumbrances on and all taxes and assessments now or hereafter imposed on or
affecting the Collateral and, if the Collateral is in Obligor's possession,
the realty on which the Collateral is located.

  8. Obligor will insure the Collateral with Bank as loss payee in form and
amounts with companies, and against risks and liability satisfactory to Bank,
and hereby assigns such policies to Bank, agrees to deliver them to Bank at
Bank's request, and authorizes Bank to make any claim thereunder, to cancel
the insurance on Obligor's default, and to receive payment of and endorse any
instrument in payment of any loss or return premium. If Obligor should fail
to deliver the required policy or policies to the Bank, Bank may, at
Obligor's cost and expense, without any duty to do so, get and pay for
insurance naming as the insured, at Bank's option, either both Obligor and
Bank, or only Bank, and the cost thereof shall be secured by this Security
Agreement, and shall be repayable as provided in Paragraph 1 above.

  9. Obligor will give Bank any information it requires. All information at any
time supplied to Bank by Obligor (including, but not limited to, the value
and condition of Collateral, financial statements, financing statements, and
statements made in documentary Collateral) is correct and complete, and
Obligor will notify Bank of any adverse change in such information. Obligor
will promptly notify Bank of any change of Obligor's residence, chief
executive office or mailing address.

  10. Bank is irrevocably appointed Obligor's attorney-in-fact to do any act
which Obligor is obligated hereby to do, to exercise such rights as Obligor
may exercise, to use such equipment as Obligor might use, to enter Obligor's
premises to give notice of Bank's security interest, and to collect
Collateral and proceeds and to execute and file in Obligor's name any
financing statements and amendments thereto required to perfect Bank's
security interest hereunder, all to protect and preserve the Collateral and
Bank's rights hereunder. Bank may:

     (a) Endorse, collect and receive delivery or payment of instruments and
     documents constituting Collateral;

     (b) Make extension agreements with respect to or affecting Collateral,
     exchange it for other Collateral, release persons liable thereon or take
     security for the payment thereof, and compromise disputes in connection
     therewith;

     (c) Use or operate Collateral for the purpose of preserving Collateral
     or its value and for preserving or liquidating Collateral.

  11. If more than one Obligor signs this Agreement, their liability is joint
and several. Any Obligor who is married agrees that recourse may be had
against separate property for the Debt. Discharge of any Obligor except for
full payment, or any extension, forbearance, change of rate of interest, or
acceptance, release or substitution of Collateral or any impairment or
suspension of Bank's rights against an Obligor, or any transfer of an
Obligor's interest to another shall not affect the liability of any other
Obligor. Until the Debt shall have been paid or performed in full, Bank's
rights shall continue even if the Debt is outlawed. All Obligors waive: (a)
any right to require Bank to proceed against any Obligor before any other, or
to pursue any other remedy; (b) presentment, protest and notice of protest,
demand and notice of nonpayment, demand or performance, notice of sale, and
advertisement of sale; (c) any right to the benefit of or to direct the
application of any Collateral until the Debt shall have been paid; (d) and
any right of subrogation to Bank until Debt shall have been paid or performed
in full.

  12. Upon default, at Bank's option, without demand or notice, all or any part
of the Debt shall immediately become due. Bank shall have all rights given by
law, and may sell, in one or more sales, Collateral in any county where Bank
has an office. Bank may purchase at such sale. Sales for cash or on credit to
a wholesaler, retailer or user of the Collateral, or at public or private
auction, are all to be considered commercially reasonable. Bank may require
Obligor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Bank at the
entrance to the location of the Collateral, or a place designated by Bank.

    Defaults shall include:

     (a) Obligor's failure to pay or perform this or any agreement with Bank
     or breach of any warranty herein, or Borrower's failure to pay or perform
     any agreement with Bank.

     (b) Any change in Obligor's or Borrower's financial condition which in
     Bank's judgment impairs the prospect of Borrower's payment or
     performance.

     (c) Any actual or reasonably anticipated deterioration of the Collateral
     or in the market price thereof which causes it, in Bank's judgment, to
     become unsatisfactory as security.

     (d) Any levy or seizure against Borrower or any of the Collateral.

     (e) Death, termination of business, assignment for creditors,
     insolvency, appointment of receiver, or the filing of any petition under
     bankruptcy or debtor's relief laws of, by or against Obligor or Borrower
     or any guarantor of the Debt.

     (f) Any warranty or representation which is false or is believed in good
     faith by Bank to be false.

  13. Bank's acceptance of partial or delinquent payments or the failure of
Bank to exercise any right or remedy shall not waive any obligation of
Obligor or Borrower or right of Bank to modify this Agreement, or waive any
other similar default.

  14. On transfer of all or any part of the Debt, Bank may transfer all or
any part of the Collateral. Bank may deliver all or any part of the
Collateral to any Obligor at any time. Any such transfer or delivery shall
discharge Bank from all liability and responsibility with respect to such
Collateral transferred or delivered. This Agreement benefits Bank's
successors and assigns and binds Obligor's heirs, legatees, personal
representatives, successors and assigns. Obligor agrees not to assert against
any assignee of Bank any claim or defense that may exist against Bank. Time
is of the essence. This Agreement and supplementary schedules hereto contain
the entire security agreement between Bank and Obligor. Obligor will execute
any additional agreements, assignments or documents reasonably required by
Bank to carry this Agreement into effect.

  15. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of California, to the jurisdiction of whose courts the
Obligor hereby agrees to submit. Obligor agrees that service of process may
be accomplished by any means authorized by California law. All words used
herein in the singular shall be considered to have been used in the plural
where the context and construction so require.

  16. To the extent that Obligor acquires any trademarks, service marks,
trade names and service names and/or the goodwill associated therewith,
copyrights, patents and/or patent applications (collectively "Intellectual
Property"), Obligor shall give prompt notice thereof to Bank and shall take
any and all actions requested from time to time by Bank to perfect Obligor's
interest in such Intellectual Property and to perfect Bank's first priority
interest therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Obligor agrees as follows: Upon Obligor creating, writing, producing or
acquiring any software, computer source codes or other computer programs
(collectively, the "Software"). Obligor shall promptly register such Software
with the U.S. Copyright Office and to the extent Obligor's rights therein are
acquired from any third party, Obligor shall promptly upon such acquisition
file with the U.S. Copyright Office any and all documents necessary to
perfect Obligor's rights therein. Upon Obligor creating, writing, producing
or otherwise acquiring any Software, Obligor shall give prompt notice thereof
to Bank. Obligor shall execute and deliver to Bank any and all copyright
mortgages, UCC financing statements and other documents and instruments which
Bank may request in connection with the Bank perfecting its first priority
security interest in such Software.

                    8.0% Convertible Note due June 15, 2000

$267,500                                                          June 15, 1995

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned ImageWare Software, Inc., a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California
(herein called the "Company"), hereby promises to pay to S. James Miller,
Jr., or order, the principal sum of Two Hundred Sixty Seven Thousand and Five
Hundred Dollars ($267,500) on June 15, 2000 with interest (computed on the
basis of a 360-day year and 30-day month) on the unpaid balance thereof at
the rate of 8.0% per annum from the date hereof, payable monthly on the last
day of each quarter, commencing on September 30, 1995, until the prinicpal
hereof shall have become due and payable or shall have been paid. At the
option of either the Company or the holder of this Note, interest may be
allowed to accrue and be added to principal, rather than be paid.

     Payment of both principal and interest are to be made at the address
shown on the Company's books or at such other place as the holder hereof
shall designate to the Company in writing, in lawful money of the United
States of America.

     This Note and any other promissory notes with identical terms shall, at
the option of the holder, be prepaid prorata to the extent of 20% of the
Company's pre-tax income earned subsequent to June 30, 1995.

     In the event that interest or principal on this Note is not paid when
due, then the principal and accrued interest of this Note may be declared
immediately due and payable by the holder hereof.  The Company agrees to pay,
and save the holder hereof harmless against any liability for, any expenses
arising in connection with the enforcement by the holder hereof of any of
its rights under this Note.

     This Note shall be convertible into securities of the Company as follows:

     The principal amount of this Note plus accrued but unpaid interest
thereon shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any
time after date hereof, into Units of Series B Preferred Stock, ("Preferred
Stock") and Common Stock Purchase Warrants ("Warrants") of the Company of the
type sold to purchasers in the $1,250,000 Unit


<PAGE>

offering made pursuant to a Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated
April 10, 1995, at $2.50 per Unit, subject to adjustment.

     The conversion of this Note into Units shall be effected by the
surrender of this Note, duly endorsed in blank, at the office of the
Corporation, with written notice to the Corporation of the election to
convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which the
securities included in the Units are to be issued. The Corporation shall, as
soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to such holder certificates
of Preferred Stock and Warrants into which the Note was converted.

     The Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock and the Exercise Price of
the Warrrants included in the Units shall be subject to adjustment from time
to time as follows:

     In the event the Corporation should at any time or from to time after
the date of the issuance of any shares of Preferred Stock or Warrants fix a
record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of Common Stock
entitled to received a dividend or other distribution payable in additional
shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights or other securities or
rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly
or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as
"Common Stock Equivalents") without payment of any consideration by such
holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock
Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of
such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed),
the Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock and the Exercise Price of the
Warrants shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such Preferred Stock or
exercise of each Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and those issuable
with respect to Common Stock Equivalents or other rights or securities of the
Corporation.

     If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after
the date of the issuance of any shares of Preferred Stock and Warrants is
decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then,
following the record date of such combination, the Conversion Price of the
Preferred Stock and the Exercise Price of the Warrants shall be appropriately
increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion
of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such
decrease in outstanding shares.

     In the event the Corporation shall declare a distribution with respect
to the outstanding shares of Common Stock payable in securities of other
persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Corporation or other
persons, assets or options or rights not referred to above, then, in each
such case for the purpose of this paragraph, the holders of the Preferred
Stock and the Warrants shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such
distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares of
Common Stock of


<PAGE>

the Corporation into which their shares of Preferred Stock are convertible or
their Warrants are exercisable as of the record date fixed for the
determination of the holders of Common Stock of the Corporation entitled to
received such distribution.

     If at any time or from time to time there shall be a capital
reorganization of the Corporation or any reclassification of the Common Stock
or in case of the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with any other
person or entity or in case of any sale, conveyance or disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to an affiliate of the
Corporation (other than a subdivision, combination or Event of Liquidation or
Sale as provided for elsewhere herein), the Corporation and the person or
entity formed by such consolidation or resulting from such capital
reorganization, reclassification of capital stock or merger, as the case may
be, shall make provision in the articles or certificate of incorporation or
other governing instruments of such person such that each share of Preferred
Stock shall thereafter be convertible and each Warrant shall thereafter be
exercisable only into the kind of and amount of shares of stock, other
securities, cash and other property receivable upon such capital
reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger,
sale, converyance or disposition, as the case may be, by a holder of the
number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock
were convertible or Warrants were exercisable immediately prior to such
capital reorganzation, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation,
merger, sale, conveyance or disposition. In any such case, appropriate
adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this
paragraph with respect to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock
and the holders of the Warrants after such capital reorganization,
reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or
disposition to the end that the provisions of this paragraph (including
adjustment of the Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock and the Exercise
Price of the Warrants then in effect and the number of shares purchasable
upon conversion of the Preferred Stock or exercise of the Warrant) shall be
applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

     This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of
the State of California.

                             CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE


$1,250,000.00                                                  November 10, 1999
                                                           San Diego, California

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ImageWare Software, Inc., a California corporation
("Maker"), promises to pay to Naoya Harano ("Holder"), or order, at the address
of Holder as set forth on the signature page hereof, or such other place as
Holder may from time to time designate, the principal amount of One Million Two
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,250,000.00), with interest on such amount
until paid, at the rate set forth below and payable as follows:

INTEREST RATE

     The amount of outstanding principal shall bear interest at the rate of ten
percent (10%) per annum.  Interest shall accrue on the principal balance from
and after November 10, 1999 and shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day
year.

PAYMENT

     A payment of interest only shall be paid annually on each anniversary of
the date of this Note; provided, however, if the Maker does not make such
payment, the amount equivalent to the interest accrued hereunder as of each
anniversary date shall be added to the principal and shall accrue interest at
the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.  All outstanding principal and accrued
and unpaid interest shall be payable upon the earlier of (a) February 10, 2001
or (b) within five business (5) days after the closing of the initial
underwritten public offering of Maker's common stock pursuant to a registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933.

     Any payment hereunder shall be applied first to expenses of collection, if
any, then to accrued interest, and the balance, if any, shall be then applied to
reduction of principal.  All amounts due hereunder shall be paid in lawful money
of the United States of America.

CONVERSION OPTION

     If the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest due hereunder
has not been paid on or before April 1, 2000 (the "Exercise Date"), then Holder
may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, elect to convert (the
"Conversion Right") all or a portion of the then outstanding principal and
accrued and unpaid interest and any other amount due hereunder into shares of
the Common Stock (the "Shares") of Maker at $1.00 (the "Conversion Price") per
Share.  Notwithstanding the section entitled "ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CONVERSION
PRICE" below, it is the intent of the Maker and the Holder that the  Conversion
Price is on a post-split basis after the 5.275 to 1 reverse stock split which is
anticipated to occur prior to Maker's filing of a registration statement for its
initial public offering of securities.  The Conversion Right shall be
exercisable by written notice to Maker by Holder at any time after the Exercise
Date.


<PAGE>

     In order to effect the Conversion Right, Holder shall deliver a copy of the
fully executed Notice of Conversion (the form of which is attached hereto) to
Maker for the Shares and surrender this Note, duly endorsed, along with a copy
of the Notice of Conversion, as soon as practicable thereafter.  Upon receipt by
Maker of the Notice of Conversion from Holder, Maker shall promptly send a
confirmation to Holder stating that the Notice of Conversion has been received
and the date upon which Maker expects to deliver the Shares upon conversion.  No
fractional Shares shall be issued upon conversion.

     The Shares shall not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), and shall be subject to restrictions on transfer
as imposed by the Securities Act and/or state securities laws.  The Holder shall
have the same registration rights with respect to the Shares as have been
granted to Holder in the Stock Purchase Warrant between Holder and Maker of even
date herewith.

     Holder represents, warrants and covenants that (i) Holder has had, and
continues to have, access to detailed information with respect to the business,
financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Maker; (ii) Holder
has received or has been provided access to all material information concerning
an investment in Maker represented by the Conversion Right and the Shares; (iii)
as a result of Holder's study of the aforementioned information and Holder's
prior overall experience in financial matters, and Holder's familiarity with the
nature of businesses such as Maker, Holder is properly able to evaluate the
capital structure of Maker, the business of Maker, and the risks inherent
therein; (iv) Holder has been given the opportunity to obtain any additional
information or documents from, and to ask questions and receive answers of, the
officers, directors and representatives of Maker to the extent necessary to
evaluate the merits and risks related to an investment in Maker represented by
the Conversion Right and the Shares; (v) Holder's investment in securities of
Maker pursuant hereto is consistent, in both nature and amount, with Holder's
overall investment program and financial condition; (vi) Holder's financial
condition is such that Holder can afford to bear the economic risk of holding
securities and to suffer a complete loss of Holder's investment in Maker
represented by the Conversion Right and the Shares; and (v) Holder presently
qualifies and will as of the date of the Conversion Right qualify as an
"accredited investor" within the meaning of Regulation D of the rules and
regulations promulgated under the Securities Act.

ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CONVERSION PRICE

     The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time only
as follows:

     (a)  If at any time on or after the date of this Note, the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock of Maker is increased by a stock split, stock
dividend, combination, reclassification or other similar event, the Conversion
Price shall be proportionately reduced, or if the number of outstanding shares
of Common Stock is decreased by a reverse stock split, combination or
reclassification of shares, or other similar event, the Conversion Price shall
be proportionately increased.

                                       2
<PAGE>

     (b)  In case the Maker shall make or issue, or shall fix a record date for
the determination of eligible holders entitled to receive, a dividend or other
distribution with respect to the shares payable in (i) securities of the Maker
(other than Shares of Common Stock) or (ii) assets (excluding cash dividends
paid or payable solely out of retained earnings), then in each case, the holder
of this Note on conversion hereof at any time after the consummation, effective
date or record date of such event, shall receive, in addition to the Shares
issuable on such conversion prior to such date, the securities or other assets
of the Maker to which such holder would have been entitled upon such date if
such holder had converted this Note immediately prior thereto (all subject to
further adjustment as provided in this Note).

     (c)  In case of any merger of the Maker with or into any other corporation,
entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, in which the Maker
shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such reorganization or
merger, or any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Maker (any
such transaction being hereinafter referred to as a "Reorganization"), then, in
each case, (i) the holder of this Note shall be provided with written notice of
the proposed Reorganization at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed
Reorganization date, and (ii) the holder of this Note, on conversion hereof at
any time after the consummation or effective date of such Reorganization (the
"Reorganization Effective Date"), shall receive, in lieu of the Shares issuable
on such conversion prior to the Reorganization Effective Date, the stock and
other securities and property (including cash) to which such Holder would have
been entitled upon the Reorganization Effective Date if such Holder had
converted this Note immediately prior thereto (all subject to further adjustment
as provided in this Note).

     (d)  In case of any adjustment or readjustment in the price or kind of
securities issuable on the conversion of this Note, the Maker will promptly give
written notice thereof to the holder of this Note setting forth such adjustment
or readjustment and showing in reasonable detail the computation of such
adjustment.

     (e)  The Maker will not, by amendment of its Articles 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 Note,
but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms
and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order
to protect the rights of the holder of this Note against dilution or other
impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Maker (a)
will at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized Shares
of Common Stock, free from all preemptive rights therein, which will be
sufficient to permit the conversion of this Note and (b) shall take all such
action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that all Shares as may be
issued pursuant to the conversion of this Note will, upon issuance, be duty and
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and
charges with respect to the issue thereof.

DEFAULT/ACCELERATION


                                       3
<PAGE>

     If any one or more of the following events shall occur (hereinafter called
an "Event of Default"), namely:  (i) default shall be made in the payment of any
amount owning hereunder when due; or (ii) the Maker shall become insolvent, or
shall be unable to pay its debts as they mature; or shall admit in writing its
inability to pay its debts as they mature; or shall make an assignment for the
benefit of its creditors; or shall file or commence or have filed or commenced
against it any proceeding for any relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law
or any law or laws relating to the relief of debtors, readjustment of
indebtedness, reorganizations, compositions or extensions (and in the case of an
in voluntary proceeding, the same shall not be dismissed or stayed within sixty
(60) days thereof), THEN, upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default,
Holder at its election, and without presentment, demand, notice of any kind, all
of which are expressly waived by Maker, may declare the entire outstanding
balance of principal and interest thereon immediately due and payable; provided,
however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in clause
(ii) above, all amounts due hereunder shall become immediately and automatically
due and payable without any requirement of notice or other action by Holder.

NO WAIVER BY HOLDER

     The acceptance by Holder of any payment under this Note after the date such
payment is due, or the failure to declare an Event of Default as herein
provided, shall not constitute a waiver of any of the terms  of this Note or the
right to require the prompt payment when due of future or succeeding payments or
to declare an Event of Default for any failure to so pay or for any other
default.  The acceptance by Holder of a payment of a portion of any installment
at any time that such installment is due in full shall not cure or excuse the
default caused by the failure to pay such installment in full and shall not
constitute a waiver of the right to require full payment when due of all future
or succeeding installments.

ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS

     In the event Holder takes any action to enforce any provision of this Note,
either through legal proceedings or otherwise, Maker promises to immediately
reimburse Holder for reasonable attorneys' fees and all other costs and expenses
so incurred.  Maker shall also reimburse Holder for all attorneys' fees and
costs reasonably incurred in the representation of Holder in any bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other debtor-relief proceeding of or relating to
Maker or any security for the obligations hereunder, or for any action to
enforce any judgment rendered hereon or relating to enforcement hereof.

WAIVERS

     The Maker, endorsers, guarantors and sureties of this Note hereby waive
diligence, demand, presentment, protest and demand and notice of such protest,
demand, dishonor and non-payment of this Note; expressly agree that this Note,
or any payment or performance or other term hereunder, may be renewed, modified
or extended from time to time and at any time; and consent to the acceptance or
release of security for this Note or the release of any party or guarantor, all
without

                                       4
<PAGE>

in any way affecting their liability and waive the right to plead any and all
statutes of limitations as a defense to any demand on this Note, or on any
guaranty thereof, or to any agreement to pay the same to the full extent
permissible by law.

MAXIMUM INTEREST

     In no event whatsoever shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to
Holder for the use, forbearance or detention of money to be loaned hereunder or
otherwise, or for the performance or payment of any covenant or obligation
contained herein, exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law.
If from any circumstance whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof exceeds
the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, IPSO FACTO, the obligation to be
fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such
circumstance Holder shall ever receive as interest under this Note or otherwise
an amount that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be
excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount
owing hereunder (without charge for prepayment) and not to the payment of
interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal,
such excess shall be refunded to Maker.

PREPAYMENT

     Maker may prepay this Note in full or in part at any time without premium.
No partial prepayment shall release Maker from thereafter tendering required
payments until the Note is paid in full.  Upon any election by Maker to prepay
this Note, Holder shall have the right to accept such prepayment or elect to
convert the amount sought to be prepaid.  If such prepayment is made prior to
the Exercise Date, Holder shall retain the right to purchase shares in the
amount of such prepayment at the Conversion Price provided Holder exercises such
right within 30 days after the Exercise Date.

BINDING ON SUCCESSORS

     The terms of this Note shall inure to the benefit of and bind the parties
hereto and their heirs, legatees, devisees, representatives,  successors and
assigns.  As used herein the term "Maker" shall include the undersigned Maker
and any other person or entity who may subsequently become liable for the
payment hereof.  The term "Holder" shall include the named Holder as well as any
other person or entity to whom this Note or any interest in this Note is
conveyed, transferred or assigned.

AUTHORITY TO BIND

     Each person signing this Note on behalf of Maker represents and warrants

provision of this Note.

                                       5
<PAGE>

NOTICE

     All notices, demands and other communications required or permitted
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effective the earliest of (i)
actual delivery if delivered by personal delivery, (ii) three (3) days following
deposit, first class postage prepaid, with the United States mail, (iii) upon
the earliest to occur, if sent by certified postage prepaid mail, of three (3)
days following deposit thereof in the United States mail or receipt (or refusal
to accept delivery), or (iv) on the next business day after timely and proper
deposit with an overnight air courier with request for next business day
delivery.  For purposes of notice, the address of Maker shall be as set forth on
the signature page hereof and the address of the Holder shall be as set forth on
the signature page hereof; provided, however,  that any party shall have the
right to change its address for notice hereunder to any other location by giving
notice to the other party in the manner set forth above.

SEVERABILITY

     Every provision hereof is intended to be several and if any provision is
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable, such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect
the other provisions hereof, which shall remain binding and enforceable.

MODIFICATION

     This Note may not be changed or modified orally, nor may any right or
provision hereof be waived orally, but in each instance only by an instrument in
writing signed by the party against which enforcement of such change,
modification or waiver is sought.

REMEDIES CUMULATIVE

     Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to Holder or allowed
it by law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive and may be
exercised by Holder from time to time.

CURRENCY CONVERSION

     It is the intent of the Maker and Holder that the principal of this Note be
subject to adjustment based upon the fluctuation of the rate of exchange between
U.S. dollars and Japanese yen between the date hereof and the date of repayment
of the principal hereunder.  It is agreed that the rate of exchange between U.S.
dollars and Japanese yen as of the date of this Note is 104.55 Japanese yen per
U.S. dollar, and therefore the original principal amount of this Note of
$1,250,000.00 is as of the date hereof equal to 130,687,500 Japanese yen (the
"Original Yen Amount").  Thus, the principal amount of this Note shall be
adjusted as of the time of final payment hereunder so that the amount repaid
hereunder in U.S. dollars shall equal, based upon the foreign exchange rate
published in the Wall Street Journal on such repayment date setting forth the
foreign

                                       6
<PAGE>

exchange rate as of the business day proceeding the date of repayment, the
Original Yen Amount.  Maker and Holder acknowledge that such adjustment may
either increase or decrease the principal amount owing hereunder as of the
date of repayment.

IMPERIAL BANK LOAN

     Maker shall use its best efforts to obtain the consent of Imperial Bank to
permit Maker to grant to Holder a security interest in the assets of Maker to
secure Maker's obligations to Holder hereunder and shall make a written request
to Imperial Bank for such consent within 45 days from the date of this Note and
will provide a copy of such written request to Holder.  During the term of this
Note, upon notice by Holder to Maker of Holder's desire to pay off in full and
receive an assignment of Maker's outstanding obligation to Imperial Bank under
Maker's existing line of credit with Imperial Bank, Maker shall cooperate with
Holder (which shall not include any expenditure of funds) to cause Imperial Bank
to permit such repayment and assignment.

GOVERNING LAW

     This Note shall be governed by and construed under the internal laws of
the State of California.  This Note shall be deemed made and entered into in
San Diego County, California.

THIS PROMISSORY NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF

                           IMAGEWARE SOFTWARE, INC.

                   8.0% Convertible Note due June 15, 2000

$255,000                                                          June 15, 1995


    FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned ImageWare Software, Inc., a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California
(herein called the "Company"), hereby promises to pay to Patrick J. Downs, or
order, the principal sum of Two Hundred Fifty-Five Thousand Dollars
($255,000) on June 15, 2000 with interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day
year and 30-day month) on the unpaid balance thereof at the rate of 8.0% per
annum from the date hereof, payable monthly on the last day of each quarter,
commencing on September 30, 1995, until the principal hereof shall have
become due and payable or shall have been paid. At the option of either the
Company or the holder of this Note, interest may be allowed to accrue and be
added to principal, rather than be paid.

    Payment of both principal and interest are to be made at the address
shown on the Company's books or at such other place as the holder hereof
shall designate to the Company in writing, in lawful money of the United
States of America.

    This Note and any other promissory notes with identical terms shall, at
the option of the holder, be prepaid prorata to the extent of 20% of the
Company's pre-tax income earned subsequent to June 30, 1995.

    In the event that interest or principal on this Note is not paid when
due, then the principal and accrued interest of this Note may be declared
immediately due and payable by the holder hereof. The Company agrees to pay,
and save the holder hereof harmless against any liability for, any expenses
arising in connection with the enforcement by the holder hereof of any of
its rights under this Note.

    This Note shall be convertible into securities of the Company as follows:

    The principal amount of this Note plus accrued but unpaid interest
thereon shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any
time after date hereof, into Units of Series B Preferred Stock ("Preferred
Stock") and Common Stock Purchase Warrants ("Warrants") of the Company of the
type sold to purchasers in the $1,250,000 Unit


<PAGE>

offering made pursuant to a Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated
April 10, 1995, at $2.50 per Unit, subject to adjustment.

     The conversion of this Note into Units shall be effected by the surrender
of this Note, duly endorsed in blank, at the office of the Corporation, with
written notice to the Corporation of the election to convert the same and
shall state therein the name or names in which the securities included in the
Units are to be issued. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable
thereafter, issue and deliver to such holder certificates of Preferred Stock
and Warrants into which the Note was converted.

     The Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock and the Exercise Price of
the Warrants included in the Units shall be subject to adjustment from time
to time as follows:

     In the event the Corporation should at any time or from time to time
after the date of the issuance of any shares of Preferred Stock or Warrants
fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of Common
Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in
additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible
into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly,
additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as "Common Stock
Equivalents") without payment of any consideration by such holder for the
additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including
the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise
thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend
distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Conversion
Price of the Preferred Stock and the Exercise Price of the Warrants shall be
appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
on conversion of each share of such Preferred Stock or exercise of each
Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and those issuable with respect
to Common Stock Equivalents or other rights or securities of the Corporation.

     If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after
the date of the issuance of any shares of Preferred Stock and Warrants is
decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then,
following the record date of such combination, the Conversion Price of the
Preferred Stock and the Exercise Price of the Warrants shall be appropriately
increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion
of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such
decrease in outstanding shares.

     In the event the Corporation shall declare a distribution with respect
to the outstanding shares of Common Stock payable in securities of other
persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Corporation or other
persons, assets or options or rights not referred to above, then, in each
such case for the purpose of this paragraph, the holders of the Preferred
Stock and the Warrants shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such
distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares of
Common Stock of


<PAGE>

the Corporation into which their shares of Preferred Stock are convertible or
their Warrants are exercisable as of the record date fixed for the
determination of the holders of Common Stock of the Corporation entitled to
received such distribution.

    If at any time or from time to time there shall be a capital
reorganization of the Corporation or any reclassification of the Common Stock
or in case of the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with any other
person or entity or in case of any sale, conveyance or disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to an affiliate of the
Corporation (other than a subdivision, combination or Event of Liquidation or
Sale as provided for elsewhere herein), the Corporation and the person or
entity formed by such consolidation or resulting from such capital
reorganization, reclassification of capital stock or merger, as the case may
be, shall make provision in the articles or certificate of incorporation or
other governing instruments of such person such that each share of Preferred
Stock shall thereafter be convertible and each Warrant shall thereafter be
exercisable only into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other
securities, cash and other property receivable upon such capital
reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger,
sale, conveyance or disposition, as the case may be, by a holder of the
number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock
were convertible or Warrants were exercisable immediately prior to such
capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation,
merger, sale, conveyance or disposition. In any such case, appropriate
adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this
paragraph with respect to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock
and the holders of the Warrants after such capital reorganization,
reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or
disposition to the end that the provisions of this paragraph (including
adjustment of the Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock and the Exercise
Price of the Warrants then in effect and the number of shares purchasable
upon conversion of the Preferred Stock or exercise of the Warrant) shall be
applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

    This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of
the State of California.

THIS WARRANT HAS BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND ITS SALE HAS NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1993.  NEITHER THIS WARRANT
NOR THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON THE EXERCISE HEREOF NOR ANY INTEREST
THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH
REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM.

                                            Void after November 10, 2004


                             STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT


     This Stock Purchase Warrant ("Warrant") is issued, for good and valuable
consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, to Naoya Harano (the
"Purchaser"), by ImageWare Software, Inc., a California corporation (the
"Company").

     1.   PURCHASE OF SHARES; PURCHASE PRICE.  Subject to the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth, the holder of this Warrant is entitled, upon
surrender of this Warrant at the office of the Company at 10833 Thornmint Road,
San Diego, California 92127 (or at such other place as the Company shall notify
the holder hereof in writing), to purchase from the Company 125,000 shares of
Common Stock for $6.00 per share.  The shares of Common Stock of the Company
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are hereinafter referred to as the
"Shares."  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4 or 5 below, it is the
intent of the Company and the Purchaser that the amount of warrants to purchase
shares of Common Stock being granted hereunder and the $6.00 per share exercise
price are on a post-split basis after the 5.275 to 1 reverse stock split which
is anticipated to occur prior to the Company's filing of a registration
statement for its initial public offering of securities.  If such reverse stock
split does not occur, the amount of warrants granted hereunder and the exercise
price will be adjusted accordingly.

     2.   EXERCISE PERIOD.  This Warrant is exercisable at any time after
January 1, 2001 and before 5:00 P.M., San Diego, California time, on November
10, 2004, at which time this Warrant shall expire.

     3.   METHOD OF EXERCISE.  During the period this Warrant remains
outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 2 above, the holder may
exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by:

          a.   surrendering this Warrant, together with a duly executed copy of
the form of Subscription attached hereto to the Secretary of the Company at its
principal offices; and

          b.   paying to the Company an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise
Price of the number of Shares being purchased.

<PAGE>

     4.   ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES.  The number of
Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time only as follows:

          a.   The Exercise Price of this Warrant and the number of Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be appropriately adjusted to
reflect any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares of stock,
reclassification, recapitalization or other similar event affecting the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock, as follows:

               i.   The Exercise Price in effect at the time of such event shall
be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the
Exercise Price by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such
event, and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such event.  Such adjustment shall be made
successively whenever any event specified above shall occur.

               ii.  Whenever the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of this
Warrant is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (i) above, the number of Shares
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall simultaneously be adjusted by
multiplying the number of Shares initially issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant by the initial Exercise Price in effect on the date hereof and dividing
the product so obtained by the Exercise Price, as adjusted.

          b.   In case the Company shall make or issue, or shall fix a record
date for the determination of eligible holders entitled to receive, a dividend
or other distribution with respect to the shares payable in (i) securities of
the Company (other than Shares of Common Stock) or (ii) assets (excluding cash
dividends paid or payable solely out of retained earnings), then in each case,
the holder of this Warrant on exercise hereof at any time after the
consummation, effective date or record date of such event, shall receive, in
addition to the Shares issuable on such exercise prior to such date, the
securities or other assets of the Company to which such holder would have been
entitled upon such date if such holder had exercised this Warrant immediately
prior thereto (all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant).

          c.   In case of any merger of the Company with or into any other
corporation, entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, in which
the Company shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such
reorganization or merger, or any sale of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company (any such transaction being hereinafter referred to as a
"Reorganization"), then, in each case, (i) the holder of this Warrant shall be
provided with written notice of the proposed Reorganization at least thirty (30)
days prior to the proposed Reorganization date, and (ii) the holder of this
Warrant, on exercise hereof at any time after the consummation or effective date
of such Reorganization (the "Effective Date"), shall receive, in lieu of the
Shares issuable on such exercise prior to the Effective Date, the stock and
other securities and property (including cash) to which such Holder would have
been entitled upon the Effective Date if such


                                       2
<PAGE>

Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto (all subject to
further adjustment as provided in this Warrant).

          d.   In case of any adjustment or readjustment in the price or kind of
securities issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will promptly
give written notice thereof to the holder of this Warrant in the form of a
certificate, certified and confirmed by the Board of Directors of the Company,
setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable detail
the computation of such adjustment.

     5.   DILUTION OR IMPAIRMENT.  The Company will not, by amendment of its
Articles 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, but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holder of this
Warrant against dilution or other impairment.  Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Company (a) will at all times reserve and keep available a
number of its authorized Shares of Common Stock, free from all preemptive rights
therein, which will be sufficient to permit the exercise of this Warrant and (b)
shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that all
Shares as may be issued pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant will, upon
issuance, be duty and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from
all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

     6.   PRE-EXERCISE RIGHTS.  Prior to exercise of this Warrant, the holder
shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares,
including (without limitation) the right to vote such Shares, receive dividends
or other distributions thereon, exercise preemptive rights or be notified of
shareholder meetings, and such holder shall not be entitled to any notice or
other communication concerning the business or affairs of the Company, except as
set forth herein.

     7.   RESTRICTED SECURITIES.  The holder understands that this Warrant and
the Shares purchasable hereunder constitute "restricted securities" under the
federal securities laws inasmuch as they have been, or will be, acquired from
the Company in transactions not involving a public offering and accordingly may
not, under such laws and applicable regulations, be resold or transferred
without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an
applicable exemption from registration.  The holder further acknowledges that
the Shares and any other securities issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall
bear a legend substantially in the form of the legend appearing on the face
hereof.

     8.   CERTIFICATION OF INVESTMENT PURPOSE.  Unless a current registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), shall be in
effect with respect to the offer and sale of the securities to be issued upon
exercise of this Warrant, the holder of this Warrant covenants and agrees that,
at the time of exercise hereof, such holder will deliver to the Company a
written certification that the securities acquired by the holder upon exercise
hereof are for the account of


                                       3
<PAGE>

the holder, are being acquired for investment purposes only and are not being
acquired with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any public distribution
thereof.

     9.   RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER; REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

          a.   The Holder agrees that prior to making any disposition of the
Warrants or the Shares, the Holder shall give written notice to the Company
describing briefly the manner in which any such proposed disposition is to be
made; and no such disposition shall be made if the Company has notified the
Holder that in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Holder a
registration statement or other notification or post-effective amendment thereto
(hereinafter collectively a "Registration Statement") under the Act is required
with respect to such disposition and no such Registration Statement has been
filed by the Company with, and declared effective, by the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

          b.   (i)    At any time commencing after the closing of the Company's
initial public offering of its securities and prior to November 30, 2003, the
Company will, as promptly as practicable (but in any event within 60 days),
after written request by a person or persons holding (or having the right to
acquire by virtue of holding the Warrants) at least 50% of the Shares which have
been (or may be) issued upon exercise of all of the Warrants that were issued to
the shareholders of XImage upon the acquisition of XImage by ImageWare, prepare
and file at the Company's expense a Registration Statement with the Commission
and appropriate Blue Sky authorities sufficient to permit the public offering of
the Shares (but not the Warrants) and will use its best efforts through its
officers, directors, auditors and counsel, in all matters necessary or
advisable, to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as promptly
as practicable and to keep such registration effective for a period of the
lesser of 90 days or the date of completion of the distribution described in the
Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall only be
obligated to file one such Registration Statement under this Section 9(b)(i).

               (ii)   Whenever during the period ending on November 30, 2003,
the Company proposes to file with the Commission a Registration Statement (other
than as to securities issued pursuant to an employee benefit plan or as to a
transaction subject to Rule 145 promulgated under the Act or which a form S-4
Registration Statement could be used), it shall, promptly prior to each such
filing, give written notice of such proposed filing to the Holder and each
holder of Shares at their respective addresses as they appear on the records of
the Company, and shall offer to include and shall include in such filing any
proposed disposition of the Shares (but not the Warrants) upon receipt by the
Company, within 20 days after such written notice is given, of a request
therefor setting forth the facts with respect to such proposed disposition and
all other information with respect to such person reasonably necessary to be
included in such Registration Statement.  If the registration for which the
Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an
underwriting, the Company shall so advise as part of the written notice given
pursuant to this Section.  In such event, the right of any Holder or holder of
Shares to registration pursuant to Section 9(b)(i) shall be conditioned upon the
participation in such underwriting of the Holder or holder of Shares, and the
inclusion of their Shares in the underwriting shall be limited to the extent


                                       4
<PAGE>

provided herein. All Holders or holders of Shares proposing to distribute their
Shares through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in
customary form with the managing underwriter selected for such underwriting by
the Company.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9(b), if the
managing underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of
the number of shares to be underwritten, such underwriter may limit the amount
of securities to be included in the registration and underwriting by the holders
of Company securities exercising "piggyback" registration rights (including the
Holder and each holder of Shares).  The Company shall so advise all such holders
of Company securities exercising "piggyback" registration rights, and the number
of shares of such securities that may be included in the registration and
underwriting shall be allocated among all of such holders, in proportion, as
nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of securities requested by such
holders to be included in such registration statement.  Any securities excluded
or withdrawn from such registration and underwriting shall not be transferred
prior to one hundred twenty (120) days after the effective date of the
registration statement relating thereto, or such shorter period of time as the
underwriters may require.

               (iii)  In the event that any such Registration Statement is
utilized for a public offering of any of the Shares to be received upon exercise
of the Warrants pursuant to this Section 9, the Holder may elect to pay the
Exercise Price of the Warrants to the Company out of the proceeds of the sale of
the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement concurrently with the closing
of such sale of the Shares.  In such event, (1) the Shares will not be issued by
the Company until they are sold, and (2) the Shares will not be delivered to the
purchaser of such Shares until satisfactory provision is made for paying the
Warrant Price to the Company with respect to such Shares.

          c.   All fees, disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses (other than
the Holder's brokerage fees and commissions and legal fees of counsel to the
Holder, if any) in connection with the filing of any Registration Statement
under Section 9(b) (or obtaining the opinion of counsel and any no-action
position of the Commission with respect to sales under Rule 144) and in
complying with applicable securities and Blue Sky laws shall be borne by the
Company.  The Company at its expense will supply any Holder and any holder of
Shares with copies of such Registration Statement and the prospectus included
therein and other related documents any opinions and no-action letters in such
quantities as may be reasonably requested by the Holder or holder of Shares.

          d.   The Company shall not be required by this Section 9 to file such
Registration Statement if, in the opinion of counsel for the Holders and holders
of Shares and the Company (or, should they not agree, in the opinion of another
counsel experienced in securities law matters acceptable to counsel for such
holders and the Company), the proposed transfer as to which such Registration
Statement is requested is exempt from applicable federal and state securities
laws under Rule 144 promulgated under the Act.

          e.   The provisions of this Section 9 and Section 10 hereof shall
apply to the extent as provided herein if the Company chooses to file an
Offering Statement under Regulation A promulgated under the Act.


                                       5
<PAGE>

          f.   The Company agrees that until all Shares have been sold under a
Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act, it will use its
best efforts to keep current in filing all materials required to be filed with
the Commission in order to permit the holders of such securities to sell the
same under Rule 144.

          g.   The Company shall be entitled, for a reasonable period of time
which in no event shall exceed 60 days (i) to postpone the filing of a
Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or to the
prospectus relating thereto otherwise required, or (ii) to suspend effectiveness
of the Registration Statement, if the Company (a) determines, in its reasonable
judgment, that the registration or sale of the Shares would materially interfere
with any pending or proposed financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or
other material transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and
(b) promptly gives those persons exercising their registration right hereunder
written notice of such determination.

          h.   The Company may require those persons exercising their
registration rights hereunder to furnish to the Company such information
regarding the distribution of such Shares as the Company may from time to time
request in writing and such other information as may be legally required in
connection with such registration.

          i.   At any time when a prospectus relating to a sale of the Shares is
required to be delivered under the Act, there occurs an event requiring the
preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as
thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Shares, such prospectus will not
contain an 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, then the Company will promptly make available to any Holder any
such supplement of amendment.  Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any
notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in
the preceding sentence hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue
disposition of Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such
Shares until the Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended
prospectus, and, if so directed by the Company, the Holder will deliver to the
Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in the Holder's
possession of the prospectus covering such Shares current at the time of receipt
of such notice.  If such amendments or supplements are not made by the Company
within ten (10) days of such notice by the Company or if in the opinion of
counsel to the Holders such amendments or supplements to the prospectus, if
made, are insufficient in light of the requirements of the Act and other
applicable law, the Holders shall not be deemed to have exercised their demand
registration rights pursuant to Section 9(b)(i) herein.

     10.  INDEMNIFICATION.

          a.   In the event of the filing of any Registration Statement with
respect to the Shares pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Company agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Holder or any holder of Shares and each person,
if any, who controls the Holder or any holder of Shares


                                       6
<PAGE>

within the meaning of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several (which shall, for all purposes of this Agreement,
include, but not be limited to, all costs of defense and investigation and all
attorneys' fees), to which the Holder or any holder of Shares or controlling
person may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or
are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact contained in any such Registration Statement or Prospectus included
therein, or amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon
the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;
provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based
upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or
supplement thereto in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written
information furnished to the Company by such Holder, the holder of such Shares
or the underwriters of such offering specifically for use in the preparation
thereof.  This indemnity will be in addition to any liability which the Company
may otherwise have.

          b.   The Holders and the holders of Shares agree that they will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each other person referred to in
subparts (1), (2) and (3) of Section 11(a) of the Act in respect of the
Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(which shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, include but not be limited to,
all costs of defense and investigation and all attorneys' fees) to which the
Company or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject
under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect hereof) arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement of any material fact contained in such Registration Statement
or Prospectus included therein, or amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out
of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made
in such Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein, or amendment or
supplement thereto in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information
furnished to the Company by the Holder or holder of Shares specifically for use
in the preparation thereof, this indemnity agreement will be in addition to any
liability which the Holder or holder of Shares may otherwise have.

          c.   Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
10 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if
a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under
this Section 10, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but
the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the
indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party
otherwise than as to the a particular item as to which indemnification is then
being sought solely pursuant to this Section 10.  In case any such action is
brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of
the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate
in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying
party similarly


                                       7
<PAGE>

notified, reasonably assume the defense thereof, subject to the provisions
herein stated, and 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 under this Section 10 for any
legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with the  defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of
investigation, unless the indemnifying party shall not pursue the action to its
final conclusion.  The indemnified party shall have the right to employ
separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof,
but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the expense of the
indemnifying party if the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of the
action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided
that if the indemnified party is a Holder or a holder of Shares or a person who
controls a Holder or a holder of Shares within the meaning of the Act, the fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expenses of the indemnifying party
if (i) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in
writing by the indemnifying party or (ii) the named parties to any such action,
including any impleaded parties, include both a Holder or a holder of Shares or
such controlling person and the indemnifying party and a Holder or a holder of
Shares or such controlling person shall have been advised by such counsel that
there may be one or more legal defenses available to a Holder or a holder of
Shares or controlling person which are not available to or in conflict with any
legal defenses which may be available to the indemnifying party (in which case
the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such
action on behalf of a Holder or a holder of Shares or such controlling person,
it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in
connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or
related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general
allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of
more than one separate firm of attorneys for the Holders, the holders of the
Shares and controlling persons, which firm shall be designated in writing by a
majority in interest of such holders and controlling persons based upon the
value of the securities included in the Registration Statement).  No settlement
of any action against an indemnified party shall be made without the consent of
the indemnified and the indemnifying parties, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld in light of all factors of importance to such parties.

     11.  LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT.  If this Warrant is
lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, upon receipt of a
reasonable agreement to indemnify the Company, and, in the case of a mutilated
warrant, upon the surrender thereof, issue in the name requested a new warrant
of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or
destroyed.

     12.  SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  The terms and provisions of this Warrant
shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and the holders
hereof and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

     13.  GOVERNING LAW.  This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the substantive laws of the State of California without regard
to principles of conflicts of laws.

     14.  STATUS OF HOLDER.  The holder represents and warrants that the holder
is not an affiliate of, or related party to, any underwriter or broker-dealer,
and acknowledges that the Company is issuing this Warrant in reliance upon such
representation and warranty of holder.

THIS WARRANT HAS BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND IT HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. NEITHER THIS WARRANT NOR THE SECURITIES
ISSUABLE UPON THE EXERCISE HEREOF NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD
OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM.

                                                      Void after April 10, 2000


                                STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT


       This Stock Purchase Warrant ("Warrant") is issued, for good and valuable
consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, to Torrey Pines
Securities, (the "Purchaser"), by ImageWare Software, Inc., a California
corporation (the "Company").

       1.     PURCHASE OF SHARES; PURCHASE PRICE.   Subject to the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth, the holder of this Warrant is entitled, upon
surrender of this Warrant at the office of the Company at 15373 Innovation
Drive, San Diego, California 92128 (or at such other place as the Company shall
notify the holder hereof in writing), to purchase from the Company 11,250 shares
of Common Stock for $2.50 per share.  The shares of Common Stock of the Company
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are hereinafter referred to as the
"Shares".

       2.     EXERCISE PERIOD.   This Warrant is exercisable at any time from
July 31, 1995 until 5 o'clock PM, San Diego, California time on April 10, 2000,
at which time this Warrant shall expire.

       3.     METHOD OF EXERCISE.   During the period this Warrant remains
outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 2 above, the holder may
exercise this Warrant in whole or in part, by:

              (a)    surrendering this Warrant, together with a duly executed
copy of the form of Subscription attached hereto to the Secretary of the Company
at its principal offices; and

              (b)    paying to the Company an amount equal to the aggregate
Exercise Price of the number of Shares being purchased.

       4.     ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES.   The number of
Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time only as follows:

              (a)    The Exercise Price of this Warrant and the number of Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be appropriately adjusted to
reflect any stock

<PAGE>

dividend, stock split, combination of shares of stock, reclassification,
recapitalization or other similar event affecting the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock, as follows:

                     (i)    The Exercise Price in effect at the time of such
event shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by
multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect
to such event, and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.  Such adjustment shall
be made successively whenever any event specified above shall occur.

                     (ii)   Whenever the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of
this Warrant is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (i) above, the number of
Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall simultaneously be
adjusted by multiplying the number of Shares initially issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant by the initial Exercise Price in effect on the date hereof and
dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price, as adjusted.

              (b)    In case the Company shall make or issue, or shall fix a
record date for the determination of eligible holders entitled to receive, a
dividend or other distribution with respect to the shares payable in (i)
securities of the Company (other than Shares of Common Stock) or (ii) assets
(excluding cash dividends paid or payable solely out of retained earnings), then
in each case, the holder of this Warrant on exercise hereof at any time after
the consummation, effective date or record date of such event, shall receive, in
addition to the Shares issuable on such exercise prior to such date, the
securities or other assets of the Company to which such holder would have been
entitled upon such date if such holder had exercised this Warrant immediately
prior thereto (all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant).

              (c)    In case of any merger of the Company with or into any
other corporation, entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization,
in which the Company shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such
reorganization or merger, or any sales of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company (any such transaction being hereinafter referred to as
a "Reorganization"), then, in each case, (i) the holder of this Warrant shall
be provided with written notice of the proposed Reorganization at least
thirty (30) days prior to the proposed Reorganization date, and (ii) the
holder of this Warrant, on exercise hereof at any time after the consummation
or effective date of such Reorganization (the "Effective Date"), shall
receive, in lieu of the Shares issuable on such exercise prior to the
Effective Date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash)
to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the Effective Date if such
Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto (all subject to
further adjustment as provided in this Warrant).

<PAGE>

              (d)    In case of any adjustment or readjustment in the price or
kind of securities issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will
promptly give written notice thereof to the holder of this Warrant in the form
of a certificate, certified and confirmed by the Board of Directors of the
Company, setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable
detail the computation of such adjustment.

       5.     DILUTION OR IMPAIRMENT.   The Company will not, by amendment of
its Articles 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 of performance of any of
the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all such terms in the taking of all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holder of this
Warrant against dilution or other impairment.  Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Company (a) will at all times reserve and keep available a
number of its authorized Shares of Common Stock, free from all preemptive rights
therein, which will be sufficient to permit the exercise of this Warrant and (b)
shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that all
Shares as may be issued pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant will, upon
issuance, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from
all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

       6.     PRE-EXERCISE RIGHTS.   Prior to exercise of this Warrant, the
holder shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder with respect to the
Shares, including (without limitation) the right to vote such Shares, receive
dividends or other distributions thereon, exercise preemptive rights or be
notified of shareholder meetings, and such holder shall not be entitled to any
notice or other communication concerning the business or affairs of the Company,
except as set forth herein.

       7.     RESTRICTED SECURITIES.   The holder understands that this
Warrant and the Shares purchasable hereunder constitute "restricted
securities" under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they have been, or
will be, acquired from the Company in transactions not involving a public
offering and accordingly may not, under such laws and applicable regulations,
be resold or transferred without registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, or an applicable exemption from registration.  The holder
further acknowledges that the Shares and any other securities issued upon
exercise of this Warrant shall bear a legend substantially in the form of the
legend appearing on the face hereof.

       8.     CERTIFICATION OF INVESTMENT PURPOSE.   Unless a current
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), shall be in effect with respect to the offer and sale of the securities
to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant, the holder of this Warrant covenants
and agrees that, at the time of exercise hereof, such holder will deliver to the
Company a written certification that the securities acquired by the holder upon
exercise hereof are for the account of the holder, are being acquired for
investment purposes only and are not being acquired with a view to, or for sale
in connection with, any public distribution thereof.

       9.     RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER; REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

              (a)    The Holder agrees that prior to making any disposition of
the Warrants or the Shares, the Holder shall give written notice to the Company
describing briefly the manner in which any such proposed disposition is to be
made; and no such disposition shall be made if the Company has notified the
Holder that in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Holder a
registration statement or other notification or post-effective amendment thereto
(hereinafter collectively a "Registration Statement") under the Act is required
with respect to such disposition and no such Registration Statement has been
filed by the Company with, and declared effective, if necessary.

       10.    LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT.   If this Warrant is
lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, upon receipt of a
reasonable agreement to indemnify the Company, and, in the case of a mutilated
warrant, upon the surrender thereof, issue in the name requested a new warrant
of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or
destroyed.

       11.    SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.   The terms and provisions of this Warrant
shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and the holders
hereof and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

       12.    GOVERNING LAW.   This Warrant shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of California without
regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

Merger Warrant No.39                               Void after January 20, 2002

                           IMAGEWARE SOFTWARE, INC.

                                MERGER WARRANT
            (Initially to Purchase 13,000 Shares of Common Stock)


     This Merger Warrant (the "Warrant") is issued, for good and valuable
consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, to _______________ by
ImageWare Software, Inc., a California corporation (the "Company").

1.   PURCHASE OF SHARES; PURCHASE PRICE. Subject to the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth, the holder of this Warrant ("Holder") is entitled,
upon surrender of this Warrant at the office of the Company at 15373
Innovation Drive, San Diego, California 92128 (or at such other place as the
Company shall notify the holder hereof in writing), to purchase from the
Company Thirteen Thousand (13,000) shares of Common Stock of the Company at a
purchase price equal to the lesser of $4.00 per share, or the price at which
the Company sells its Common Stock (or the equivalent per share price if
other equity securities are sold, e.g., Preferred Stock) in the Company's
first financing following the Merger transaction involving the Company and
XImage Corporation. The shares of Common stock of the Company issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant are hereinafter referred to as the "Shares".

The Company shall send the Holder written notice of the per share price at
which the Company sells its securities in such first financing within ten
days after such sale is consummated.

2.   EXERCISE PERIOD. This Warrant is exercisable at any time from the date
hereof until 5 o'clock P.M., San Diego, California time on January 20, 2002,
at which time this Warrant shall expire.

3.   METHOD OF EXERCISE. During the period this Warrant remains outstanding
and exercisable in accordance with Section 2 above, the holder may exercise
this Warrant, in whole or in part, by:

     (a) surrendering this Warrant, together with a duly executed copy of the
form of Subscription attached hereto, to the Secretary of the Company at its
principal offices; and

                                      -1-
<PAGE>

     (b) paying to the Company an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise
Price of the number of Shares being purchased; provided that the Holder may
elect to pay the Exercise Price of the Warrants to the Company out of the
proceeds of the sale of the Shares, when sold, in which event, (i) the Shares
will not be issued by the Company until they are sold, and (ii) the Shares
will not be delivered to the purchaser of such Shares until satisfactory
provision is made for paying the Warrant Price to the Company with respect to
such Shares.

4.   ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES. The number of Shares
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time only as follows:

     (a) The Exercise Price of this Warrant and the number of Shares issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any
stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares of stock,
reclassification, recapitalization or other similar event affecting the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, as follows:

         (i)  The Exercise Price in effect at the time of such event shall be
adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the
Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such
event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock of the Company outstanding immediately after giving effect to such
event. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event
specified above shall occur.

         (ii) Whenever the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of this
Warrant is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (i) above, the number of Shares
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall simultaneously be adjusted by
multiplying the number of Shares initially issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant by the initial Exercise Price in effect on the date hereof and
dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price, as adjusted.

     (b) In case the Company shall make or issue, or shall fix a record date
for the determination of eligible holders entitled to receive, a dividend or
other distribution with respect to the shares payable in (i) securities of
the Company (other than Shares of Common Stock) or (ii) assets (excluding
cash dividends paid or payable solely out of retained earnings), then in each
case, the holder of this Warrant on exercise hereof at any time after the
consummation, effective date or record date of such event, shall receive, in
addition to the Shares issuable on such exercise prior to such date, the
securities or other assets of the Company to which such holder would have
been entitled upon such date if such holder had exercised this Warrant
immediately prior thereto (all subject to further adjustment as provided in
this Warrant).

     (c) In case of any merger of the Company with or into any other
corporation, entity or person, or any corporate reorganization, in which the
Company shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such reorganization
or merger, or any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company (and such transaction being hereinafter referred to as a
"Reorganization"), then, in each case, (i) the holder of this Warrant shall
be provided with written notice of the

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

proposed Reorganization at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed
Reorganization date, and (ii) the holder of this Warrant, on exercise hereof
at any time after the consummation or effective date of such Reorganization
(the "Effective Date"), shall receive, in lieu of the Shares issuable on such
exercise prior to the Effective Date, the stock and other securities and
property (including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon
the Effective Date if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately
prior thereto (all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant).

     (d) In case of any adjustment or readjustment in the price or kind of
securities issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will
promptly give written notice thereof to the holder of this Warrant in the
form of a certificate, certified and confirmed by the Board of Directors of
the Company, setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in
reasonable detail the computation of such adjustment.

5.   DILUTION OR IMPAIRMENT. The Company will not, by amendment of its
Articles 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, but will at all times in good faith assist in
the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as
may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holder
of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will at all times reserve and
keep available a number of its authorized Shares of Common Stock, free from
all preemptive rights therein, which will be sufficient to permit the
exercise of this Warrant and (b) shall take all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order that all Shares as may be issued pursuant
to the exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly and validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and
charges with respect to the issue thereof.

6.   PRE-EXERCISE RIGHTS. Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, the holder
shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder with respect to the
Shares, including (without limitation) the right to vote such Shares, receive
dividends or other distributions thereon, exercise preemptive rights or be
notified of shareholder meetings, and such holder shall not be entitled to
any notice or other communication concerning the business or affairs of the
Company, except as set forth herein.

7.   RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The holder understands that this Warrant and the
Shares purchasable hereunder constitute "restricted securities" under the
federal securities laws inasmuch as they have been, or will be, acquired from
the Company in transactions not involving a public offering and accordingly
may not, under such laws and applicable regulations, be resold or transferred
without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an
applicable exemption from registration. The holder further acknowledges that
the Shares and any other securities issued upon exercise of this Warrant
shall bear a legend substantially in the form of the legend appearing on the
face hereof.

                                      -3-

8.   CERTIFICATION OF INVESTMENT PURPOSE. Unless a current registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), shall be
in effect with respect to the offer and sale of the securities to be issued
upon exercise of this Warrant, the holder of this Warrant covenants and
agrees that, at the time of exercise hereof, such holder will deliver to the
Company a written certification that the securities acquired by the holder
upon exercise hereof are for the account of the holder, are being acquired
for investment purposes only and are not being acquired with a view to, or
for sale in connection with, any public distribution thereof.

9.   RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER; REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

     (a) The Holder agrees that prior to making any disposition of the
Warrants or the Shares, the Holder shall give written notice to the Company
describing briefly the manner in which any such proposed disposition is to be
made; and no such disposition shall be made if the Company has notified the
Holder that in the opinion of its counsel, a registration statement or
post-effective amendment thereto (hereinafter collectively a "Registration
Statement") under the Act is required with respect to such disposition and no
such Registration Statement has been filed by the Company with, and declared
effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission").

     (b) (i)   At any time commencing after the closing of the Company's
initial public offering of its securities and prior to November 30, 2003, the
Company will, as promptly as practicable (but in any event within 60 days),
after written request by a person or persons holding (or having the right to
acquire by virtue of holding the Warrants) at least 50% of the Shares which
have been (or may be) issued upon exercise of all of the Warrants that were
issued to the shareholders of XImage upon the acquisition of XImage by
ImageWare, prepare and file at the Company's expense a Registration Statement
with the Commission and appropriate Blue Sky authorities sufficient to permit
the public offering of the Shares (but not the Warrants) and will use its best
efforts through its officers, directors, auditors and counsel, in all matters
necessary or advisable, to cause such Registration Statement to become
effective as promptly as practicable and to keep such registration effective
for a period of the lesser of 90 days or the date of completion of the
distribution described in the Registration Statement; provided, however, that
the Company shall only be obligated to file one such Registration Statement
under this Section 9(b)(i).

         (ii)  Whenever during the period ending on November 30, 2003, the
Company proposes to file with the Commission a Registration Statement (other
than as to securities issued pursuant to an employee benefit plan or as to a
transaction subject to Rule 145 promulgated under the Act or which a form S-4
Registration Statement could be used), it shall, promptly prior to each such
filing, give written notice of such proposed filing to the Holder and each
holder of Shares at their respective addresses as they appear on the records
of the Company, and shall offer to include and shall include in such filing
any proposed disposition of the Shares (but not the Warrants) upon receipt by
the Company, within 20 days after such written notice is given, of a request
therefor setting forth the facts with respect to such proposed disposition
and all other information with respect to such person reasonably necessary to
be included in such Registration Statement. If the registration for which the
Company gives notice is for a registered public

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise as part of
the written notice given pursuant to this Section. In such event, the right
of any Holder or holder of Shares to registration pursuant to Section 9(b)(i)
shall be conditioned upon the participation in such underwriting of the
Holder or holder of Shares, and the inclusion of their Shares in the
underwriting shall be limited to the extent provided herein. All Holders or
holders of Shares proposing to distribute their Shares through such
underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form
with the managing underwriter selected for such underwriting by the Company.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9(b), if the managing
underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the
number of shares to be underwritten, such underwriter may limit the amount of
securities to be included in the registration and underwriting by the holders
of Company securities exercising "piggyback" registration rights (including
the Holder and each holder of Shares). The Company shall so advise all such
holders of Company securities exercising "piggyback" registration rights, and
the number of shares of such securities that may be included in the
registration and underwriting shall be allocated among all of such holders,
in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of
securities requested by such holders to be included in such registration
statement. Any securities excluded or withdrawn from such registration and
underwriting shall not be transferred prior to one hundred twenty (120) days
after the effective date of the registration statement relating thereto, or
such shorter period of time as the underwriters may require.

         (iii) In the event that any such Registration Statement is utilized
for a public offering of any of the Shares to be received upon exercise of
the Warrants pursuant to this Section 9, the Holder may elect to pay the
Exercise Price of the Warrants to the Company out of the proceeds of the sale
of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement concurrently with the
closing of such sale of the Shares. In such event, (1) the Shares will not be
issued by the Company until they are sold, and (2) the Shares will not be
delivered to the purchaser of such Shares until satisfactory provision is
made for paying the Warrant Price to the Company with respect to such Shares.

     (c) All fees, disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses (other than the
Holder's brokerage fees and commissions and legal fees of counsel to the
Holder, if any) in connection with the filing of any Registration statement
under Section 9(b) (or obtaining the opinion of counsel and any no-action
position of the Commission with respect to sales under Rule 144) and in
complying with applicable securities and Blue Sky laws shall be borne by the
Company. The Company at its expense will supply any Holder and any holder of
Shares with copies of such Registration Statement and the prospectus included
therein and other related documents any opinions and no-action letters in
such quantities as may be reasonably requested by the Holder or holder of
Shares.

     (d) The Company shall not be required by this Section 9 to file such
Registration Statement if, in the opinion of counsel for the Holders and
holders of Shares and the Company (or, should they not agree, in the opinion
of another counsel experienced in securities law matters acceptable to
counsel for such holders and the Company), the proposed transfer as to which
such Registration Statement is requested is exempt from applicable federal
and state securities laws under Rule 144 promulgated under the Act.

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

     (e)   The provisions of this Section 9 and Section 10 hereof shall apply
to the extent as provided herein if the Company chooses to file an Offering
Statement under Regulation A promulgated under the Act.

     (f)   The Company agrees that until all Shares have been sold under a
Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act, it will use its
best efforts to keep current in filing all materials required to be filed with
the Commission in order to permit the holders of such securities to sell the
same under Rule 144.

     (g)   The Company shall be entitled, for a reasonable period of time
which in no event shall exceed 60 days (i) to postpone the filing of a
Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or to the
prospectus relating thereto otherwise required, or (ii) to suspend
effectiveness of the Registration Statement, if the Company (a) determines,
in its reasonable judgment, that the registration or sale of the Shares would
materially interfere with any pending or proposed financing, acquisition,
corporate reorganization or other material transaction involving the Company
or any of its subsidiaries, and (b) promptly gives those persons exercising
their registration right hereunder written notice of such determination.

     (h)   The Company may require those persons exercising their
registration rights hereunder to furnish to the Company such information
regarding the distribution of such Shares as the Company may from time to
time request in writing and such other information as may be legally required
in connection with such registration.

     (i)   At any time when a prospectus relating to a sale of the Shares is
required to be delivered under the Act, there occurs an event requiring the
preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as
thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Shares, such prospectus will
not contain an 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, then the Company will promptly make
available to any Holder any such supplement of amendment. Each Holder agrees
that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any
event of the kind described in the preceding sentence hereof, such Holder will
forthwith discontinue disposition of Shares pursuant to the Registration
Statement covering such Shares until the Holder's receipt of the copies of
the supplemented or amended prospectus, and, if so directed by the Company,
the Holder will deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file
copies then in the Holder's possession, of the prospectus covering such
Shares current at the time of receipt of such notice. If such amendments or
supplements are not made by the Company within ten (10) days of such notice
by the Company or if in the opinion of counsel to the Holders such amendments
or supplements to the prospectus, if made, are insufficient in light of the
requirements of the Act and other applicable law, the Holders shall not be
deemed to have exercised their demand registration rights pursuant to Section
9(b)(i) herein.

                                      -6-

10.  INDEMNIFICATION.

     (a)   In the event of the filing of any Registration Statement with
respect to the Shares pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Company agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Holder or any holder of Shares and each
person, if any, who controls the Holder or any holder of Shares within the
meaning of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint
or several (which shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not
be limited to, all costs of defense and investigation and all attorneys'
fees), to which the Holder or any holder of Shares or controlling person may
become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact contained in any such Registration Statement or Prospectus included
therein, or amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any
such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises
out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement or
Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon, and in
conformity with, written information furnished to the Company by such Holder,
the holder of such Shares or the underwriters of such offering specifically
for use in the preparation thereof. This indemnity will be in addition to any
liability which the Company may otherwise have.

     (b)   The Holders and the holders of Shares agree that they will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each other person referred to in
subparts (1), (2) and (3) of Section 11(a) of the Act in respect of the
Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (which shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, include but not
be limited to, all costs of defense and investigation and all attorneys'
fees) to which the Company or any such director, officer or controlling
person may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect hereof) arise out of or
are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in such
Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein, or amendment or
supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in
each case only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission was made in such Registration
Statement or Prospectus included therein, or amendment or supplement thereto
in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to
the Company by the Holder or holder of Shares specifically for use in the
preparation thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any
liability which the Holder or holder of Shares may otherwise have.

     (c)   Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
10 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will,
if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party
under this Section 10, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any
indemnified party otherwise than as to the particular item as to which
indemnification is then being sought solely pursuant to this Section 10. In
case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it
notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying
party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may
wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified,
reasonably assume the defense thereof, subject to the provisions herein
stated, and 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 under this Section 10 for
any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party
in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of
investigation, unless the indemnifying party shall not pursue the action to
its final conclusion. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ
separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense
thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the
expense of the indemnifying party if the indemnifying party has assumed the
defense of the action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party; provided that if the indemnified party is a Holder or a holder of
Shares or a person who controls a Holder or a holder of Shares within the
meaning of the Act, the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of the indemnifying party if (i) the employment of such counsel has
been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party of (ii) the
named parties to any such action, including any impleaded parties, include
both a Holder or a holder of Shares or such controlling person and the
indemnifying party and a Holder or a holder of Shares or such controlling
person shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more
legal defenses available to a Holder or a holder of Shares or controlling
person which are not available to or in conflict with any legal defenses
which may be available to the indemnifying party (in which case the
indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such
action on behalf of a Holder or a holder of Shares or such controlling
person, it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not,
in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar
or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general
allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses
of more than one separate firm of attorneys for the Holders, the holders of
the Shares and controlling persons, which firm shall be designated in writing
by a majority in interest of such holders and controlling persons based upon
the value of the securities included in the Registration Statement). No
settlement of any action against an indemnified party shall be made without
the consent of the indemnified and the indemnifying parties, which shall not
be unreasonably withheld in light of all factors of importance to such
parties.

11.  LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT.  If this Warrant is lost,
stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, upon receipt of a
reasonable agreement to indemnify the Company, and, in the case of a
mutilated warrant, upon the surrender thereof, issue in the name requested a
new warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen,
mutilated or destroyed.

12.  SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  The terms and provisions of this Warrant shall
inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and the holders
hereof and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

THIS WARRANT HAS BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND ITS SALE HAS NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. NEITHER THIS WARRANT NOR THE

                                                  Void after September 30, 2004

                           IMAGEWARE SOFTWARE, INC.

                                    WARRANT
                   (Purchase 5,000 Shares of Common Stock)


     This Warrant (the "Warrant") is issued, for good and valuable
consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, to _______________ by
ImageWare Software, Inc., a California corporation (the "Company").

1.   PURCHASE OF SHARES; PURCHASE PRICE. Subject to the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth, the holder of this Warrant ("Holder") is entitled,
upon surrender of this Warrant at the office of the Company at 10883
Thornmint Road, San Diego, CA 92127 (or at such other place as the Company
shall notify the holder hereof in writing), to purchase from the Company Five
Thousand (5,000) shares of Common Stock of the Company at a purchase price
equal to the lesser of $1.50 per share. The shares of Common stock of the
Company issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are hereinafter referred to as
the "Shares".

The Company shall send the Holder written notice of the per share price at
which the Company sells its securities in such first financing within ten
days after such sale is consummated.

2.   EXERCISE PERIOD. This Warrant is exercisable at any time from the date
hereof until 5 o'clock P.M., San Diego, California time on September 30,
2004, at which time this Warrant shall expire.

3.   METHOD OF EXERCISE. During the period this Warrant remains outstanding
and exercisable in accordance with Section 2 above, the holder may exercise
this Warrant, in whole or in part, by:

     (a) surrendering this Warrant, together with a duly executed copy of the
form of Subscription attached hereto, to the Secretary of the Company at its
principal offices; and

<PAGE>

     (b) paying to the Company an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise
Price of the number of Shares being purchased; provided that the Holder may
elect to pay the Exercise Price of the Warrants to the Company out of the
proceeds of the sale of the Shares, when sold, in which event, (i) the Shares
will not be issued by the Company until they are sold, and (ii) the Shares
will not be delivered to the purchaser of such Shares until satisfactory
provision is made for paying the Warrant Price to the Company with respect to
such Shares.

4.   ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES. The number of Shares
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time only as follows:

     (a) The Exercise Price of this Warrant and the number of Shares issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any
stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares of stock,
reclassification, recapitalization or other similar event affecting the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, as follows:

         (i)  The Exercise Price in effect at the time of such event shall be
adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the
Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such
event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock of the Company outstanding immediately after giving effect to such
event. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event
specified above shall occur.

         (ii) Whenever the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of this
Warrant is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (i) above, the number of Shares
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall simultaneously be adjusted by
multiplying the number of Shares initially issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant by the initial Exercise Price in effect on the date hereof and
dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price, as adjusted.

     (b) In case the Company shall make or issue, or shall fix a record date
for the determination of eligible holders entitled to receive, a dividend or
other distribution with respect to the shares payable in (i) securities of
the Company (other than Shares of Common Stock) or (ii) assets (excluding
cash dividends paid or payable solely out of retained earnings), then in each
case, the holder of this Warrant on exercise hereof at any time after the
consummation, effective date or record date of such event, shall receive, in
addition to the Shares issuable on such exercise prior to such date, the
securities or other assets of the Company to which such holder would have
been entitled upon such date if such holder had exercised this Warrant
immediately prior thereto (all subject to further adjustment as provided in
this Warrant).

     (c) In case of any merger of the Company with or into any other
corporation, entity or person, or any corporate reorganization, in which the
Company shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such
reorganization or merger, or any sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company (and such transaction being hereinafter referred to as
a "Reorganization"), then, in each case, (i) the holder of this Warrant shall
be provided with written notice of the proposed Reorganization at least
thirty (30) days prior to the proposed Reorganization date, and

                                      -2-

<PAGE>

(ii) the holder of this Warrant, on exercise hereof at any time after the
consummation or effective date of such Reorganization (the "Effective Date"),
shall receive, in lieu of the Shares issuable on such exercise prior to the
Effective Date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash)
to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the Effective Date if such
Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto (all subject to
further adjustment as provided in this Warrant).

     (d) In case of any adjustment or readjustment in the price or kind of
securities issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will
promptly give written notice thereof to the holder of this Warrant in the
form of a certificate, certified and confirmed by the Board of Directors of
the Company, setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in
reasonable detail the computation of such adjustment.

5.   DILUTION OR IMPAIRMENT. The Company will not, by amendment of its
Articles 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, but will at all times in good faith assist in
the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as
may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holder
of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will at all times reserve and
keep available a number of its authorized Shares of Common Stock, free from
all preemptive rights therein, which will be sufficient to permit the
exercise of this Warrant and (b) shall take all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order that all Shares as may be issued pursuant
to the exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly and validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and
charges with respect to the issue thereof.

6.   PRE-EXERCISE RIGHTS. Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, the holder
shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder with respect to the
Shares, including (without limitation) the right to vote such Shares, receive
dividends or other distributions thereon, exercise preemptive rights or be
notified of shareholder meetings, and such holder shall not be entitled to
any notice or other communication concerning the business or affairs of the
Company, except as set forth herein.

7.   RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The holder understands that this Warrant and the
Shares purchasable hereunder constitute "restricted securities" under the
federal securities laws inasmuch as they have been, or will be, acquired from
the Company in transactions not involving a public offering and accordingly
may not, under such laws and applicable regulations, be resold or transferred
without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an
applicable exemption from registration. The holder further acknowledges that
the Shares and any other securities issued upon exercise of this Warrant
shall bear a legend substantially in the form of the legend appearing on the
face hereof.


                                      -3-

8.   CERTIFICATION OF INVESTMENT PURPOSE. Unless a current registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), shall be
in effect with respect to the offer and sale of the securities to be issued
upon exercise of this Warrant, the holder of this Warrant covenants and
agrees that, at the time of exercise hereof, such holder will deliver to the
Company a written certification that the securities acquired by the holder
upon exercise hereof are for the account of the holder, are being acquired
for investment purposes only and are not being acquired with a view to, or
for sale in connection with, any public distribution thereof.

9.   RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER; REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

     (a) The Holder agrees that prior to making any disposition of the
Warrants or the Shares, the Holder shall give written notice to the Company
describing briefly the manner in which any such proposed disposition is to be
made; and no such disposition shall be made if the Company has notified the
Holder that in the opinion of its counsel, a registration statement or
post-effective amendment thereto (hereinafter collectively a "Registration
Statement") under the Act is required with respect to such disposition and no
such Registration Statement has been filed by the Company with, and declared
effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission").

     (b)(i) Whenever during the period ending on August 16, 2002, the Company
proposes to file with the Commission a Registration Statement (other than as
to securities issued pursuant to an employee benefit plan or as to a
transaction subject to Rule 145 promulgated under the Act or which a form S-4
Registration Statement could be used), it shall, promptly prior to each such
filing, give written notice of such proposed filing to the Holder and each
holder of Shares at their respective addresses as they appear on the records
of the Company, and shall offer to include and shall include in such filing
any proposed disposition of the Shares (but not the Warrants) upon receipt by
the Company, within 20 days after such written notice is given, of a request
therefor setting forth the facts with respect to such proposed disposition
and all other information with respect to such person reasonably necessary to
be included in such Registration Statement. If the registration for which the
Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an
underwriting, the Company shall so advise as part of the written notice given
pursuant to this Section. In such event, the right of any Holder or holder of
Shares to registration pursuant to Section 9(b)(i) shall be conditioned upon
the participation in such underwriting of the Holder or holder of Shares, and
the inclusion of their Shares in the underwriting shall be limited to the
extent provided herein. All Holders or holders of Shares proposing to
distribute their Shares through such underwriting shall enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter
selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section 9(b), if the managing underwriter determines that
marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be
underwritten, such underwriter may limit the amount of securities to be
included in the registration and underwriting by the holders of Company
securities exercising "piggyback" registration rights (including the Holder
and each holder of Shares). The Company shall so advise all such holders of
Company securities exercising "piggyback" registration rights, and the

                                      -4-

<PAGE>

number of shares of such securities that may be included in the registration
and underwriting shall be allocated among all of such holders, in proportion,
as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of securities requested
by such holders to be included in such registration statement. Any securities
excluded or withdrawn from such registration and underwriting shall not be
transferred prior to one hundred twenty (120) days after the effective date
of the registration statement relating thereto, or such shorter period of
time as the underwriters may require.

         (ii)  In the event that any such Registration Statement is utilized
for a public offering of any of the Shares to be received upon exercise of
the Warrants pursuant to this Section 9, the Holder may elect to pay the
Exercise Price of the Warrants to the Company out of the proceeds of the sale
of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement concurrently with the
closing of such sale of the Shares. In such event, (1) the Shares will not be
issued by the Company until they are sold, and (2) the Shares will not be
delivered to the purchaser of such Shares until satisfactory provision is
made for paying the Warrant Price to the Company with respect to such Shares.

     (c) All fees, disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses (other than the
Holder's brokerage fees and commissions and legal fees of counsel to the
Holder, if any) in connection with the filing of any Registration statement
under Section 9(b) (or obtaining the opinion of counsel and any no-action
position of the Commission with respect to sales under Rule 144) and in
complying with applicable securities and Blue Sky laws shall be borne by the
Company. The Company at its expense will supply any Holder and any holder of
Shares with copies of such Registration Statement and the prospectus included
therein and other related documents any opinions and no-action letters in
such quantities as may be reasonably requested by the Holder or holder of
Shares.

     (d) The Company shall not be required by this Section 9 to file such
Registration Statement if, in the opinion of counsel for the Holders and
holders of Shares and the Company (or, should they not agree, in the opinion
of another counsel experienced in securities law matters acceptable to
counsel for such holders and the Company), the proposed transfer as to which
such Registration Statement is requested is exempt from applicable federal
and state securities laws under Rule 144 promulgated under the Act.

     (e) The provisions of this Section 9 and Section 10 hereof shall apply
to the extent as provided herein if the Company chooses to file an Offering
Statement under Regulation A promulgated under the Act.

     (f) The Company agrees that until all shares have been sold under a
Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act, it will use its
best efforts to keep current in filing all materials required to be filed
with the Commission in order to permit the holders of such securities to sell
the same under Rule 144.

     (g) The Company shall be entitled, for a reasonable period of time which
in no event shall exceed 60 days (i) to postpone the filing of a Registration
Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or to the prospectus
relating thereto otherwise required, or (ii) to suspend

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

effectiveness of the Registration Statement, if the Company (a) determines,
in its reasonable judgment, that the registration or sale of the Shares would
materially interfere with any pending or proposed financing, acquisition,
corporate reorganization or other material transaction involving the Company
or any of its subsidiaries, and (b) promptly gives those persons exercising
their registration right hereunder written notice of such determination.

     (h) The Company may require those persons exercising their registration
rights hereunder to furnish to the Company such information regarding the
distribution of such Shares as the Company may from time to time request in
writing and such other information as may be legally required in connection
with such registration.

     (i) At any time when a prospectus relating to a sale of the Shares is
required to be delivered under the Act, there occurs an event requiring the
preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as
thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Shares, such prospectus will
not contain an 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, then the Company will promptly make
available to any Holder any such supplement of amendment. Each Holder agrees
that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any
event of the kind described in the preceding sentence hereof, such Holder
will forthwith discontinue disposition of Shares pursuant to the Registration
Statement covering such Shares until the Holder's receipt of the copies of
the supplemented or amended prospectus, and, if so directed by the Company,
the Holder will deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file
copies then in the Holder's possession, of the prospectus covering such
Shares current at the time of receipt of such notice. If such amendments or
supplements are not made by the Company within ten (10) days of such notice
by the Company or if in the opinion of counsel to the Holders such amendments
or supplements to the prospectus, if made, are insufficient in light of the
requirements of the Act and other applicable law, the Holders shall not be
deemed to have exercised their demand registration rights pursuant to Section
9(b)(i) herein.

                                      -6-

10.  INDEMNIFICATION.

     (a)  In the event of the filing of any Registration Statement with
respect to the Shares pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Company agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Holder or any holder of Shares and each
person, if any, who controls the Holder or any holder of Shares within the
meaning of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint
or several (which shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not
be limited to, all costs of defense and investigation and all attorneys'
fees), to which the Holder or any holder of Shares or controlling person may
become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact contained in any such Registration Statement or Prospectus included
therein, or amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any
such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises
out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement or
Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon, and in
conformity with, written information furnished to the Company by such Holder,
the holder of such Shares or the underwriters of such offering specifically
for use in the preparation thereof. This indemnity will be in addition to any
liability which the Company may otherwise have.

     (b)  The Holders and the holders of Shares agree that they will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each other person referred to in
subparts (1), (2) and (3) of Section 11(a) of the Act in respect of the
Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (which shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, include but not
be limited to, all costs of defense and investigation and all attorneys'
fees) to which the Company or any such director, officer or controlling
person may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect hereof) arise out of or
are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in such
Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein, or amendment or
supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in
each case only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission was made in such Registration
Statement or Prospectus included therein, or amendment or supplement thereto
in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to
the Company by the Holder or holder of Shares specifically for use in the
preparation thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in affiliation to any
liability which the Holder or holder of Shares may otherwise have.

     (c)  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
10 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will,
if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party
under this Section 10, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not
relieve

                                      -7-

<PAGE>

the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any
indemnified party otherwise than as to the particular item as to which
indemnification is then being sought solely pursuant to this Section 10. In
case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it
notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying
party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may
wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified,
reasonably assume the defense thereof, subject to the provisions herein
stated, and 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 under this Section 10 for
any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party
in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of
investigation, unless the indemnifying party shall not pursue the action to
its final conclusion. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ
separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense
thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the
expense of the indemnifying party if the indemnifying party has assumed the
defense of the action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party; provided that if the indemnified party is a Holder or a holder of
Shares or a person who controls a Holder or a holder of Shares within the
meaning of the Act, the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of the indemnifying party if (i) the employment of such counsel has
been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party or (ii) the
named parties to any such action, including any impleaded parties, include
both a Holder or a holder of Shares or such controlling person and the
indemnifying party and a Holder or a holder of shares or such controlling
person shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more
legal defenses available to a Holder or a holder of Shares or controlling
person which are not available to or in conflict with any legal defenses
which may be available to the indemnifying party (in which case the
indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such
action on behalf of a Holder or a holder of Shares or such controlling
person, it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not,
in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar
or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general
allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses
of more than one separate firm or attorneys for the Holders, the holders of
the Shares and controlling persons, which firm shall be designated in writing
by a majority in interest of such holders and controlling persons based upon
the value of the securities included in the Registration Statement). No
settlement of any action against an indemnified party shall be made without
the consent of the indemnified and the indemnifying parties, which shall not
be unreasonably withheld in light of all factors of importance to such
parties.

11.  LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT.  If this Warrant is lost,
stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, upon receipt of a
reasonable agreement to indemnify the Company, and, in the case of a
mutilated warrant, upon the surrender thereof, issue in the name requested a
new warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen,
mutilated or destroyed.

12.  SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  The terms and provisions of this Warrant shall
inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and the holders
hereof and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

                                      -8-

13.  GOVERNING LAW.  This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the substantive laws of the State of California without
regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

THIS WARRANT HAS BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND ITS SALE HAS NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1993. NEITHER THIS WARRANT NOR THE
SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON THE EXERCISE HEREOF NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE
OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN
EXEMPTION THEREFROM.

                                                     Void after June 30, 2000

                          STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

     This Stock Purchase Warrant ("Warrant") is issued, for good and valuable
consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, to _______________ (the
"Purchaser"), by ImageWare Software, Inc., a California
corporation (the "Company").

     1.   PURCHASE OF SHARES; PURCHASE PRICE.  Subject to the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth, the holder of this Warrant is entitled,
upon surrender of this Warrant at the office of the Company at 15373
Innovation Drive, San Diego, California 92128 (or at such other place as the
Company shall notify the holder hereof in writing), to purchase from the
Company 50,000 shares of Common Stock for $2.50 per share. The shares of
Common stock of the Company issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are
hereinafter referred to as the "Shares."

     2.   EXERCISE PERIOD.  This Warrant is exercisable at any time from July
1, 1995 until 5 o'clock P.M., San Diego, California time on June 30, 2000, at
which time this Warrant shall expire.

     3.   METHOD OF EXERCISE.  During the period this Warrant remains
outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 2 above, the holder
may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by:

          (a)  surrendering this Warrant, together with a duly executed copy
of the form of Subscription attached hereto to the Secretary of the Company
at its principal offices; and

          (b)  paying to the Company an amount equal to the aggregate
Exercise Price of the number of Shares being purchased.

     4.   ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES.  The number of
Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall
be subject to adjustment from time to time only as follows:
<PAGE>

          (a)  The Exercise Price of this Warrant and the number of Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be appropriately adjusted to
reflect any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares of stock,
reclassification, recapitalization or other similar event affecting the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, as follows:

               (i)  The Exercise Price in effect at the time of such event
shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying
the Exercise Price by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect
to such event, and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event. Such adjustment
shall be made successively whenever any event specified above shall occur.

               (ii) Whenever the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of this
Warrant is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (i) above, the number of Shares
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall simultaneously be adjusted by
multiplying the number of Shares initially issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant by the initial Exercise Price in effect on the date hereof and
dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price, as adjusted.

          (b)  In case the Company shall make or issue, or shall fix a record
date for the determination of eligible holders entitled to receive, a
dividend or other distribution with respect to the shares payable in (i)
securities of the Company (other than Shares of Common Stock) or (ii) assets
(excluding cash dividends paid or payable solely out of retained earnings),
then in each case, the holder of this Warrant on exercise hereof at any time
after the consummation, effective date or record date of such event, shall
receive, in addition to the Shares issuable on such exercise prior to such
date, the securities or other assets of the Company to which such holder
would have been entitled upon such date if such holder had exercised this
Warrant immediately prior thereto (all subject to further adjustment as
provided in this Warrant).

          (c)  In case of any merger of the Company with or into any other
corporation, entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, in
which the Company shall not be the continuing or surviving entity or such
reorganization or merger, or any sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company (any such transaction being hereinafter referred to as
a "Reorganization"), then, in each case, (i) the holder of this Warrant shall
be provided with written notice of the proposed Reorganization at least
thirty (30) days prior to the proposed Reorganization date, and (ii) the
holder of this Warrant, on exercise hereof at any time after the consummation
or effective date of such Reorganization (the "Effective Date"), shall
receive, in lieu of the Shares issuable on such exercise prior to the
Effective Date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash)
to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the Effective Date if such
Holder has exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto (all subject to
further adjustment as provided in this Warrant).

                                      2
<PAGE>

          (d)  In case of any adjustment or readjustment in the price or kind
of securities issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will
promptly give written notice thereof to the holder of this Warrant in the
form of a certificate, certified and confirmed by the Board of Directors of
the Company, setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in
reasonable detail the computation of such adjustment.

     5.   DILUTION OR IMPAIRMENT.  The Company will not, by amendment of its
Articles 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, but will at all times in good faith assist in
the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as
may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holder
of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will at all times reserve and
keep available a number of its authorized Shares of Common Stock, free from
all preemptive rights therein, which will be sufficient to permit the
exercise of this Warrant and (b) shall take all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order that all Shares as may be issued pursuant
to the exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly and validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and
charges with respect to the issue thereof.

     6.   PRE-EXERCISE RIGHTS.  Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, the
holder shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder with respect to
the Shares, including (without limitation) the right to vote such Shares,
receive dividends or other distributions thereon, exercise preemptive rights
or be notified of shareholder meetings, and such holder shall not be entitled
to any notice or other communication concerning the business or affairs of
the Company, except as set forth herein.

     7.   RESTRICTED SECURITIES.  The holder understands that this Warrant
and the Shares purchasable hereunder constitute "restricted securities" under
the federal securities laws inasmuch as they have been, or will be, acquired
from the Company in transactions not involving a public offering and
accordingly may not, under such laws and applicable regulations, be resold or
transferred without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or an applicable exemption from registration. The holder further
acknowledges that the Shares and any other securities issued upon exercise of
this Warrant shall bear a legend substantially in the form of the legend
appearing on the face hereof.

     8.   CERTIFICATION OF INVESTMENT PURPOSE.  Unless a current registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), shall be
in effect with respect to the offer and sale of the securities to be issued
upon exercise of this Warrant, the holder of this Warrant covenants and
agrees that, at the time of exercise hereof, such holder will deliver to the
Company a written certification that the securities acquired by the holder
upon exercise hereof are for the account of the holder, are being acquired
for investment purposes only and are not being acquired with a view to, or
for sale in connection with, any public distribution thereof.


                                      3
<PAGE>

     9.   RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER; REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

     (a)  The Holder agrees that prior to making any disposition of the
Warrants or the Shares, the Holder shall give written notice to the Company
describing briefly the manner in which any such proposed disposition is to be
made; and no such disposition shall be made if the Company has notified the
Holder that in the opinion of counsel reasonable satisfactory to the Holder a
registration statement or other notification or post-effective amendment
thereto (hereinafter collectively a "Registration Statement") under the Act
is required with respect to such disposition and no such Registration
Statement has been filed by the Company with, and declared effective, if
necessary.

     10.  LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT.  If this Warrant is
lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, upon receipt of a
reasonable agreement to indemnify the Company, and, in the case of a
mutilated warrant, upon the surrender thereof, issue in the name requested a
new warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen,
mutilated or destroyed.

     11.  SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  The terms and provisions of this Warrant
shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and the
holders hereof and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

     12.  GOVERNING LAW.  This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the substantive laws of the State of California without
regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE HEREUNDER HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR
OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH
ACT OR PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY
TO THE CORPORATION AND ITS COUNSEL THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

                         WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK

Corporation:              IMAGEWARE SOFTWARE, INC. A CALIFORNIA CORPORATION
Number of Shares:         17,500
Class of Stock:           COMMON
Initial Exercise Price:   $4.00 PER SHARE
Issue Date:               JANUARY 15, 1998
Expiration Date:          JANUARY 15, 2003 (SUBJECT TO ARTICLE 4.1)

     THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, in consideration of the payment of $1.00
and for other good and valuable consideration, IMPERIAL BANK or registered
assignee ("Holder") is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of the class of securities (the "Shares") of the
corporation (the "Company") at the initial exercise price per Share (the
"Warrant Price") all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Article 2
of this Warrant, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions
set forth of this Warrant.

ARTICLE 1. EXERCISE

     1.1  METHOD OF EXERCISE. Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering
this Warrant and a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form
attached as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder
is exercising the conversion right set forth in Section 1.2, Holder shall
also deliver to the Company a check for the aggregate Warrant Price for the
Shares being purchased.

     1.2  CONVERSION RIGHT. In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified
in Section 1.1, Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant, in whole
or in part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate
fair market value of the Shares or other securities otherwise issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant minus the aggregate Warrant Price of such Shares by
(b) the fair market value of one Share. The fair market value of the Shares
shall be determined pursuant to Section 1.5.

     1.3  ALTERNATIVE STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHT. At Holder's option, the
Company shall pay Holder the fair market value of the Shares issuable upon
conversion of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1.2 in cash in lieu of such
Shares.

     1.4  RIGHT TO PUT WARRANT. At Holder's option, in lieu of exercising its
rights as set forth in Sections 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3, Holder shall have the right
to require the Company to purchase the Warrant under the circumstances set
forth on Exhibit A.

<PAGE>

     1.5  FAIR MARKET VALUE. If the Shares are traded regularly in a public
market, the fair market value of the Shares shall be the closing price of the
shares (or the closing price of the Company's stock into which the Shares are
convertible) reported for the business day immediately before Holder delivers
its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Shares are not regularly traded
in a public market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine
fair market value in its reasonable good faith judgment. The foregoing
notwithstanding, if Holder advises the Board of Directors in writing that
Holder disagrees with such determination, then the Company and Holder shall
promptly agree upon a reputable investment banking firm to undertake such
valuation. If the valuation of such investment banking firm is greater than
that determined by the Board of Directors, then all fees and expenses of such
investment banking firm shall be paid by the Company. In all other
circumstances, such fees and expenses shall be paid by Holder.

     1.6  DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATE AND NEW WARRANT. Promptly after Holder
exercises or converts this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to Holder
certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully
exercised or converted and has not expired, a new Warrant representing the
Shares not so acquired.

     1.7  REPLACEMENT OF WARRANTS. On receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of
an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the
Company or, in the case of mutilation, or surrender and cancellation of this
Warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of
this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.

     1.8  REPURCHASE ON SALE, MERGER, OR CONSOLIDATION OF THE COMPANY.

          1.8.1. "ACQUISITION". For the purpose of this Warrant,
"Acquisition" means any sale, license, or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets (including intellectual property) of the
Company, or any reorganization, consolidation, or merger of the Company where
the holders of the Company's securities before the transaction beneficially
own less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving
entity after the transaction.

          1.8.2. ASSUMPTION OF WARRANT. If upon the closing of any
Acquisition the successor entity assumes the obligations of this Warrant,
then this Warrant shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash, and
property as would be payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the
unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the
record date for the Acquisition and subsequent closing. The Warrant Price
shall be adjusted accordingly. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to
cause the surviving corporation to assume the obligations of this Warrant.

          1.8.3. NONASSUMPTION. If upon the closing of any Acquisition the
successor entity does not assume the obligations of this Warrant and Holder
has not otherwise exercised this Warrant in full, then the unexercised
portion of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been automatically converted
pursuant to Section 1.2 and thereafter Holder shall participate in the
Acquisition on the same terms as other holders of the same class of
securities of the Company.

<PAGE>

          1.8.4. PURCHASE RIGHT. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the
election of Holder, the Company shall purchase the unexercised portion of
this Warrant for cash upon the closing of any Acquisition for an amount equal
to (a) the fair market value of any consideration that would have been
received by Holder in consideration of the Shares had Holder exercised the
unexercised portion of this Warrant immediately before the record date for
determining the shareholders entitled to participate in the proceeds of the
Acquisition, less (b) the aggregate Warrant Price of the Shares, but in no
event less than zero.

ARTICLE 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.

     2.1  STOCK DIVIDENDS, SPLITS, ETC. If the Company declares or pays a
dividend on its common stock payable in common stock, or other securities,
subdivides the outstanding common stock into a greater amount of common
stock, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder
shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of
securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the
Shares of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision occurred.

     2.2  RECLASSIFICATION, EXCHANGE OR SUBSTITUTION. Upon any
reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a
change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or
conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon
exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and
property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had
been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange,
substitution, or other event. Such an event shall include any automatic
conversion of the outstanding or issuable securities of the Company of the
same class or series as the Shares to common stock pursuant to the terms of
the Company's Articles of Incorporation upon the closing of a registered
public offering of the Company's common stock. The Company or its successor
shall promptly issue to Holder a new Warrant for such new securities or other
property. The new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as
nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in
this Article 2 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Warrant
Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of
the new Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to
successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.

     2.3  ADJUSTMENTS FOR COMBINATIONS, ETC. If the outstanding Shares are
combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser
number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased.

     2.4  ADJUSTMENTS FOR DILUTING ISSUANCES. The Warrant Price and the
number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to
adjustment, from time to time, in the manner set forth on Exhibit B, if
attached, in the event of Diluting Issuances (as defined on Exhibit B).

     2.5  NO IMPAIRMENT. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Articles
of Incorporation or through a 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 to be observed or performed under this Warrant by the Company,
but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all the
provisions of this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate to protect Holder's rights under this Article
against impairment. If the Company takes any action affecting the Shares or
its common stock other than as described above that adversely affects
Holder's rights

<PAGE>

under this Warrant, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted downward and the
number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted
upward in such a manner that the aggregate Warrant Price of this Warrant is
unchanged.

     2.6  CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant
Price, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment, and
furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting
forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The
Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting
forth the Warrant Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of
adjustments leading to such Warrant Price.

ARTICLE 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

     3.1  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Company hereby represents and
warrants to the Holder as follows:

     3.2  NOTICE OF CERTAIN EVENTS. If the Company proposes at any time (a)
to declare any dividend or distribution upon its common stock, whether in

or series of its stock any additional shares of stock of any class or series

or sell, lease, license, or convey all or substantially all of its assets, or

rights the opportunity to participate in an underwritten public offering of
the company's securities for cash, then, in connection with each such event,

applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the

                               IMPERIAL BANK
                           ANTIDILUTION AGREEMENT

     This Antidilution Agreement is entered into as of January 15, 1998, by
and between Imperial Bank or Imperial Bancorp, at their option, ("Purchaser")
and ImageWare Software, Inc. ("the Company").

                                  RECITALS

     A.   Concurrently with the execution of this Antidilution Agreement, the
Purchaser is purchasing from the Company a Warrant to Purchase Stock (the
"Warrant") pursuant to which Purchaser has the right to acquire from the
Company the Shares (as defined in the Warrant).

     B.   By this Antidilution Agreement, the Purchaser and the Company
desire to set forth the adjustment in the number of Shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrant as a result of a Diluting Issuance (as defined in
Exhibit A to the Warrant).

     C.   Capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meaning as set
forth in the Warrant.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants
and conditions hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto mutually agree as
follows:

          1.   DEFINITIONS.  As used in this Antidilution Agreement, the
following terms have the following respective meanings:

     (a)  "Option" means any right, option or warrant to subscribe for,
purchase or otherwise acquire common stock or Convertible Securities.

     (b)  "Convertible Securities" means any evidences of indebtedness,
shares of stock or other securities directly or indirectly convertible into
or exchangeable for common stock.

     (c)  "Issue" means to grant, issue, sell, assume or fix a record date
for determining persons entitled to receive any security (including Options),
whichever of the foregoing is the first to occur.

     (d)  "Additional Common Shares" means all common stock (including
reissued shares) Issued (or deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 2) after
the date of the Warrant. Additional Common Shares does not include, however,
any common stock Issued in a transaction described in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 of
the Warrant; any common stock Issued upon conversion of preferred stock
outstanding on the date of the Warrant; the Shares; or common stock Issued as
incentive or in a nonfinancing transaction to employees, officers, directors
or consultants to the Company.

<PAGE>

     (e)  The shares of common stock ultimately Issuable upon exercise of an
Option (including the shares of common stock ultimately Issuable upon
conversion or exercise of a Convertible Security Issuable pursuant to an
Option) are deemed to be Issued when the Option is Issued. The shares of
common stock ultimately Issuable upon conversion or exercise of a Convertible
Security (other than a Convertible Security Issued pursuant to an Option)
shall be deemed Issued upon Issuance of the Convertible Security.

     2.   DEEMED ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL COMMON SHARES.  The shares of common
stock ultimately Issuable upon exercise of an Option (including the shares of
common stock ultimately Issuable upon conversion or exercise of a Convertible
Security Issuable pursuant to an Option) are deemed to be Issued when the
Option is Issued. The shares of common stock ultimately Issuable upon
conversion or exercise of a Convertible Security (other than a Convertible
Security Issued pursuant to an Option) shall be deemed Issued upon Issuance
of the Convertible Security. The maximum amount of common stock Issuable is
determined without regard to any future adjustments permitted under the
instrument creating the Options or Convertible Securities.

     3.   ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT PRICE FOR DILUTING ISSUANCES.

          3.1  RATCHET ADJUSTMENT.  If the Company issues Additional Common
Shares after the date of the Warrant and the consideration per Additional
Common Share (determined pursuant to Section 9) is less than the Warrant
Price in effect immediately before such Issue (a "Diluting Issuance"), the
Warrant Price shall be reduced to the lesser of:

          (a)  the amount of such consideration per Additional Common Share;
or

          (b)  if the Company's common stock is traded on a national
securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers
Automated Quotation System, the last reported bid or sale price of the
Company's common stock on the first trading day following a public
announcement of the Issuance.

          3.2  ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF SHARES.  Upon each adjustment of the
Warrant Price, the number of Shares Issuable upon exercise of the Warrant
shall be increased to equal the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the product
resulting from multiplying (i) the number of Shares Issuable upon exercise of
the Warrant and (ii) the Warrant Price, in each case as in effect immediately
before such adjustment, by (b) the adjusted Warrant Price.

          3.3  SECURITIES DEEMED OUTSTANDING.  For the purpose of this
Section 3, all securities Issuable upon exercise of any outstanding
Convertible Securities or Options, Warrants, or other rights to acquire
securities of the Company shall be deemed to be outstanding.

     4.   NO ADJUSTMENT FOR ISSUANCES FOLLOWING DEEMED ISSUANCES.  No
adjustment to the Warrant Price shall be made upon the exercise of Options or
conversion of Convertible Securities.
<PAGE>

     5.   ADJUSTMENT FOLLOWING CHANGES IN TERMS OF OPTIONS OR CONVERTIBLE
SECURITIES.  If the consideration payable to, or the amount of common stock
Issuable by, the Company increases or decreases, respectively, pursuant to
the terms of any outstanding Options or Convertible Securities, the Warrant
Price shall be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease. The
recomputation shall be made as of the time of the Issuance of the Options or
Convertible Securities. Any changes in the Warrant Price that occurred after
such Issuance because other Additional Common Shares were Issued or deemed
Issued shall also be recomputed.

     6.   RECOMPUTATION UPON EXPIRATION OF OPTIONS OR CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES.
The Warrant Price computed upon the original Issue of any Options or
Convertible Securities, and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall
be recomputed when any Options or rights of conversion under Convertible
Securities expire without having been exercised. In the case of Convertible
Securities or Options for common stock, the Warrant Price shall be recomputed
as if the only Additional Common Shares Issued were the shares of common
stock actually Issued upon the exercise of such securities, if any, and as if
the only consideration received therefor was the consideration actually
received upon the Issue, exercise or conversion of the Options or Convertible
Securities. In the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the Warrant
Price shall be recomputed as if the only Convertible Securities Issued were
the Convertible Securities actually Issued upon the exercise thereof, if any,
and as if the only consideration received therefor was the consideration
actually received by the Company (determined pursuant to Section 9), if any,
upon the Issue of the Options for the Convertible Securities.

     7.   LIMIT ON READJUSTMENTS.  No readjustment of the Warrant Price
pursuant to Sections 5 or 6 shall increase the Warrant Price more than the
amount of any decrease made in respect of the Issue of any Options or
Convertible Securities.

     8.   30 DAY OPTIONS.  In the case of any Options that expire by their
terms not more than 30 days after the date of Issue thereof, no adjustment of
the Warrant Price shall be made until the expiration or exercise of all such
Options.

     9.   COMPUTATION OF CONSIDERATION.  The consideration received by the
Company for the Issue of any Additional Common Shares shall be computed as
follows:

     (a)  CASH shall be valued at the amount of cash received by the
Corporation, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or
accrued dividends.

     (b)  PROPERTY.  Property, other than cash, shall be computed at the fair
market value thereof at the time of the Issue as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors of the Company.

     (c)  MIXED CONSIDERATION.  The consideration for Additional Common
Shares Issued together with other property of the Company for consideration
that covers both shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

     (d)  OPTIONS AND CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES.  The consideration per
Additional Common Share for Options and Convertible Securities shall be
determined by dividing:
<PAGE>

          (i)  the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the
Company for the Issue of the Options or Convertible Securities, plus the
minimum amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments
relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a
subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company upon
exercise of the Options or conversion of the Convertible Securities, by

          (ii) the maximum amount of common stock (as set forth in the
instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained
therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) ultimately Issuable upon
the exercise of such Options or the conversion of such Convertible Securities.

     10.  GENERAL.

          10.1  GOVERNING LAW.  This Antidilution Agreement shall be governed
in all respects by the laws of the State of California as such laws are
applied to agreements between California residents entered into and to be
performed entirely within California.

provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be
binding upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of
the parties hereto.

Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Antidilution Agreement
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

2.   REGISTRATION RIGHTS

          2.1  PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS

     below, whenever the Company proposes to register any shares of Common
     Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, or options to
     purchase, Common Stock) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
     "Commission") under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to a
     Registration on Form S-4 or S-8, or any successor forms thereto) (a
     "Piggyback Registration"), the Company (i) will give written notice to
     Holder at least 30 days prior to the anticipated filing date of its
     intention to effect such a registration, which notice will specify the
     proposed offering price, the kind and number of securities proposed to
     be registered, the distribution arrangements and such other information
     that at the time would be appropriate to include in such notice, and
     (ii) will, subject to Section 2.1(c) below, include in such Piggyback
     Registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the
     Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 20
     days after the date of the Company's notice. Except as may otherwise be
     provided in this Agreement, Registrable Securities with respect to which
     such request for Registration has been received will be registered by
     the Company and offered to the public in a Piggyback Registration
     pursuant to this Section 2 on terms and conditions at least as favorable
     as those applicable to the registration of shares of Common Stock to be
     sold by the Company and by any other person selling under such Piggyback
     Registration.

               (b)  NUMBER OF PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS. Holder shall be
     entitled to unlimited Piggyback Registrations, and the expenses of each
     (including the fees and expenses of counsel for the Holder in accordance
     with Section 2.5(b) below) shall be borne by the Company in accordance
     with the provisions of Section 2.5 hereof.

                                      -3-

<PAGE>

               (c)  PRIORITY ON PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS. If the managing
     underwriter or underwriters, if any, advise the Holder in writing that
     in its or their reasonable opinion or, in the case of a Piggyback
     Registration not being underwritten, the Company shall reasonably
     determine (and notify the Holder of such determination), after
     consultation with an investment banker of nationally recognized
     standing, that the number or kind of securities proposed to be sold in
     such registration (including Registrable Securities to be included
     pursuant to Section 2.1(a) above) is inconsistent with that which can be
     sold in such registration without having a material effect on the
     success of the offering (including, without limitation, an impact on the
     selling price or the number of securities that any participant may
     sell), the Company will include in such registration the number of
     securities, if any, which, in the opinion of such underwriter or
     underwriters, or the Company, as the case may be, can be sold as
     follows: (i) first, the shares the Company proposes to sell, and (ii)
     second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such
     registration by the Holder.

               (d)  SELECTION OF UNDERWRITERS. If any Piggyback Registration
     is an underwritten offering, the Company will (i) select a managing
     underwriter or underwriters to administer the offering, which managing
     underwriter or underwriters will be of nationally recognized standing,
     and (ii) determine the terms under which such underwriting shall take
     place.

          2.2  REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. With respect to any Piggyback
Registration (generically, a "Registration"), the Company shall, subject to
Sections 2.1(c), as expeditiously as practicable:

               (a)  prepare and file with the Commission, within 90 days
     after mailing the applicable Notice, a registration statement or
     registration statements (the "Registration Statement") relating to the
     applicable Registration on any appropriate form under the Securities
     Act, which form shall be available for the sale of the Registrable
     Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of
     distribution thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company will include
     in any Registration Statement on a form other than Form S-1 all
     information that the Holder shall reasonably request and shall include
     all financial statements required by the Commission to be filed
     therewith, cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with
     the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") or any
     securities exchange or the NASDAQ, and use its best efforts to cause
     such Registration Statement to become effective; PROVIDED FURTHER, that
     before filing a Registration Statement or prospectus related thereto (a
     "Prospectus") or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company will
     furnish to the Holder covered by such Registration Statement and the
     underwriters, if any, copies of all such

     documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the
     reasonable review of such Holder and underwriters and their respective
     counsel, and the Company will not file any Registration Statement or
     amendment thereto or any Prospectus or any supplement thereto to which
     the stockholders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by
     such Registration Statement or the underwriters, if any, shall
     reasonably object;

          (b)  prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
     post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement as may be
     necessary to keep each Registration Statement effective for the
     applicable period, or such shorter period which will terminate when all
     Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been
     sold; cause each Prospectus to be supplemented by any required
     Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to
     Rule 424 under the Securities Act; and comply with the provisions of the
     Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered
     by such Registration Statement during the applicable period in
     accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the
     sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement
     to the Prospectus; the Company shall not be deemed to have used its best
     efforts to keep a Registration Statement effective during the applicable
     period if it voluntarily takes any action that would result in the
     Holder covered thereby not being able to sell such Registrable
     Securities during that period unless such action is required under
     applicable law, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to actions
     taken by the Company in good faith and for valid business reasons,

     so long as the Company promptly thereafter complies with the
     requirements of Section 2.2(k) below, if applicable;

          (c)  notify the Holder and the managing underwriters, if any,
     promptly, and (if requested by any such person or entity) confirm such
     advice in writing, (A) when the Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement
     or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to the
     Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has
     become effective, (B) of any request by the Commission for amendments or
     supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for
     additional information, (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any
     stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or
     the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (D) if at any time
     the representaitons and warranties of the Company contemplated by
     Section 2.2(n) below cease to be true and correct, (E) of the receipt by
     the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
     qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction

misleading;

     (d) make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement at the earliest
possible moment;

offering, promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment such information as the managing underwriters and the holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities being sold agree should be included
therein relating to the plan of distribution with respect to such Registrable
Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the
number of Registrable Securities being sold to such underwriters, the
purchase price being paid therefor by such underwriters and with respect to
any other terms of the underwritten offering of the Registrable Securities to
be sold in such offering; and make all required filings of such Prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as notified of the matters to
be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

     (f) furnish to each managing underwriter and, if requested by the
holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold, to Holder,
without charge, at least one signed copy of the Registration Statement and
any amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all
documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits (including those
incorporated by reference);

     (g) deliver to Holder and the underwriters, if any, without charge, as
many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any
amendment or supplement thereto as Holder and underwriters may reasonably
request; the Company consents to the use of each Prospectus or any amendment
or supplement thereto by each of the selling stockholders and the
underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the
Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereto;

     (h) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, register or
qualify or cooperate with the selling stockholders, the underwriters, if any,
and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or

qualification of such Registrable Securities for the offer and sale under the

underwriter reasonably requests in writing, considering the amount of
Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in each such jurisdiction, and do
any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the
disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by

not then so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to general
service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;

     (i) cooperate with the selling stockholders and the managing
underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of

prior to any sale of Registrable Securities to the underwriters;

     (j) use its best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by
the applicable Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by
such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable
the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriters, if any, to consummate the
disposition of such Registrable Securities;

     (k) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 2.2(c)(F)
above, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement or the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by
reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter
delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities, the Prospectus
will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

     (l) cause all Registrable Securities covered by any Registration
Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar
securities issued by the Company are then listed, or cause such Registrable
Securities to be authorized for trading on the NASDAQ National Market System
if any similar securities issued by the Company are then so authorized, if
requested by the holders of a majority of such Registrable Securities or the
managing underwriters, if any;

     (m) provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities, not later
than the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement;

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

     (n) enter into such agreements (including an underwriting agreement) and
take all such other actions in connection therewith in order to facilitate
the disposition of such Registrable Securities as shall be reasonably
necessary, and in connection therewith, (A) make such representations and
warranties to the Holder and the underwriters, if any, in form, substance and
scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in primary
underwritten offerings; (B) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and
updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance)
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriters, if any, and
the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold) addressed
to Holder and the underwriters, if any, covering the matters customarily
covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other
matters as may be reasonably requested by Holder and underwriters; (C) obtain
"cold comfort" letters and updates thereof from the Company's independent
certified public accountants addressed to the underwriters, if any, such
letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily
covered in "cold comfort" letters by underwriters in connection with primary
underwritten offerings; (D) if an underwriting agreement is entered into, the
same shall set forth in full the indemnification provisions and procedures
set forth in Section 2.4 below with respect to all parties to be indemnified
pursuant to said Section; and (E) the Company shall deliver such documents
and certificates as may be requested by the holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities being sold and the managing underwriters, if any, to
evidence compliance with Section 2.2(c)(F) above and with any customary
conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered
into by the Company. The above shall be done at each closing under such
underwriting or similar agreement or as and to the extent required thereunder;

     (o) make available for inspection during normal business hours by a
representative of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities,
any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such
Registration, and any attorney or accountant retained by the representative
or underwriter, all financial and other records, and pertinent corporate
documents of the Company, and cause the Company's officers, directors and
employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such
representative, underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with such
Registration Statement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any records, information or
documents that are designated by the Company in writing as confidential shall
be kept confidential by such persons unless disclosure of such records,
information or documents is required by court or administrative order or any
regulatory body having jurisdiction;

                                      -8-

     (p) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules
and regulations of the Commission, and make earnings statements satisfying
the provisions of Section II(a) of the Securities Act generally available to
its security holders no later than 45 days after the end of any 12-month
period (or 90 days, if such period is a fiscal year) (A) commencing at the
end of any fiscal quarter in which Registrable Securities are sold to
underwriters in a firm or best efforts underwritten offering, or (B) if not
sold to underwriters in such an offering, beginning with the first month of
the Company's first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the
Registration Statement, which statements shall cover said 12-month periods;
and

     (q) promptly prior to the filing of any document that is to be
incorporated by reference into any Registration Statement or Prospectus
(after initial filing of the Registration Statement), provide copies of such
document to counsel to the Holder and to the managing underwriters, if any,
make the Company's representatives available for discussion of such document
and make such changes in such document prior to the filing thereof as counsel
for the Holder or underwriters may reasonably request.

     The Company may require each seller of Registrable Securities as to
which any Registration is being effected to furnish to the Company such
information regarding the proposed distribution of such securities as the
Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing.

     Holder agrees by acquisition of Registrable Securities that, upon
receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the
kind described in Section 2.2(c)(F), Holder will forthwith discontinue
disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement
until Holder's receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus as
contemplated by Section 2.2(k), or until it is advised in writing (the
"Advice") by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and
has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are
incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, and, if so directed by the
Company, Holder will deliver to the Company (at the Company's expense) all
copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder's possession, of
the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities. In the event the Company
shall give any such notice, the six-month time period referred to in Sections
2.1(b) shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and
including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date
when each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration
Statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended
prospectus contemplated by Section 2.2(c)(F) or the Advice.

   2.3 REGISTRATION EXPENSES.

     (a) GENERALLY. All expenses incident to the Company's performance of or
compliance with this Agreement will be borne by the Company, including,
without limitation, all registration and filing fees, the fees and expenses
of the counsel and accountants for the Company (including the expenses of any
"cold comfort" letters and special audits required by or incident to the
performance of such persons), all other costs and expenses of the Company
incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of
the Registration Statement (and all amendments and supplements thereto) and
furnishing copies thereof and of the Prospectus included therein, the costs
and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the qualification of
the Registrable Securities under the state securities or "Blue Sky" laws of
various jurisdictions, the costs and expenses associated with filings
required to be made with the NASD and any securities exchange or the NASDAQ
(including, if applicable, the fees and expenses of any "qualified
independent underwriter" and its counsel as may be required by the rules and
regulations thereof), the costs and expenses of listing the Registrable
Securities for trading on a national securities exchange or authorizing them
for trading on the NASDAQ National Market System and all other costs and
expenses incurred by the Company in connection with any Registration

2.3(b) below, the Company shall not bear the costs and expenses of any
selling Holder for underwriters' commissions, brokerage fees or transfer
taxes, or the fees and expenses of any counsel, accountants or other
representative retained by any selling Holder.

     (b) COUNSEL AND OUT-OF-POCKET FEES. Notwithstanding Section 2.3(a)
above, in connection with each Registration hereunder, the Company will
reimburse the selling stockholders for the reasonable fees and disbursements
of not more than one counsel, which counsel shall be chosen by the holders of
a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration.

   2.4 INDEMNIFICATION.

     (a) INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company agrees to indemnify, to
the full extent permitted by law, Holder, its officers, directors and agents
and each person who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act (each, an "Indemnified Holder"), against all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by any untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement,
Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus, or any omission or alleged

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements
therein (in the case of a Prospectus or any preliminary Prospectus, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to
the extent that such untrue statement or omission is caused by any
information with respect to such Indemnified Holder furnished in writing to
the Company by such Indemnified Holder or its representative expressly for
use therein. The Company will also indemnify underwriters, selling brokers,
dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating
in the distribution, their officers and directors and each person who
controls such persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same
extent as provided above with respect to Indemnified Holders; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that if pursuant to an underwritten public offering of Registrable
Securities, the Company and any underwriters enter into an underwriting or
purchase agreement relating to such offering that contains provisions
relating to indemnification and contribution between the Company and such
underwriters, such provisions shall be deemed to govern indemnification and
contribution as between the Company and such underwriters.

   2.5 INDEMNIFICATION BY HOLDERS OF REGISTRABLE SECURITIES. In connection
with any Registration, Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such
information with respect to the Holder as the Company reasonably requests for
use in connection with any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary
Prospectus, and agrees to indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, the
Company, the directors and the officers of the Company signing the
Registration Statement and each person who controls the Company (within the
meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) against any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue statement
of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements in the Registration
Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus (in the case of the
Prospectus or any preliminary Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, and only to the extent,
that such untrue statement or omission is caused by any information with
respect to the Holder so furnished in writing by the Holder or its
representative specifically for inclusion therein. In no event shall the
liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the
dollar amount of the proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the
Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The
Company shall be entitled to receive indemnities from underwriters, selling
brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals
participating in the distribution, to the same extent as provided above with
respect to information with respect to such persons or entities so furnished
in writing by such persons or entities or their representatives specifically
for inclusion in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary
Prospectus.

   2.6 CONDUCT OF INDEMNIFICATION PROCEEDINGS. Any person or entity entitled
to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the
indemnifying

                                      -11-


<PAGE>

party after the receipt by the indemnified party of a written notice of the
commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat
thereof made in writing for which such indemnified party will claim
indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided
herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under the
preceding Section 2.4(a) except to the extent that the indemnifying party is
actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice and (ii) unless in such
indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest may exist
between such indemnified and indemnifying parties with respect to such claim,
permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Whether or not such
defense is assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not
be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (but
such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). No indemnifying party will
be required to consent to the entry of any judgment or to enter into any
settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving
by the claimant or plaintiff of a release from all liability in respect of
such claim or litigation. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or
elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the
fees and expenses of more than one counsel in any one jurisdiction for all
parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim,
unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of
interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such
indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the
indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such
additional counsel or counsels.

          2.7  CONTRIBUTION.  If for any reason the indemnification provided
for in the preceding Section 2.4(a) is unavailable to an indemnified party as
contemplated by such Section, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of
indemnification, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the
indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or
expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative
benefits received by the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, but
also the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party,
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that no selling stockholder shall be required to contribute in an amount
greater than the difference between the net proceeds received by the Holder
with respect to the sale of Registrable Securities and all amounts already
contributed by the Holder with respect to such claims, including amounts paid
for any legal or other fees or expenses incurred by the Holder.

         2.8  RULE 144.  The Company agrees that at all times after it has
filed a registration statement pursuant to the requirements of the Securities
Act relating to any class of equity securities of the Company, it will file
in a timely manner all reports required to be filed by it pursuant to the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act and will take such further action as any
Holder may reasonably request in order that such

                                    -12-
<PAGE>

Holder may effect sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144. At
any reasonable time and upon request of Holder, the Company will furnish the
Holder with such information as may be necessary to enable the Holder to
effect sales of Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act
and will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has
complied with such requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
may deregister any class of its equity securities under Section 12 of the
Exchange Act or suspend its duty to file reports with respect to any class of
its securities pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act if it is then
permitted to do so pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder.

          2.9  PARTICIPATION IN UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS.  Holder may not
participate in any underwritten registrations hereunder unless Holder (i)
agrees to sell its Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any
underwriting arrangements approved by the Company, and (ii) accurately
completes in a timely manner and executes all questionnaires, powers of
attorney, underwriting agreements and other documents customarily required
under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

3.   DEFINITIONS

          3.1  SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE, ETC. The Company and Holder, in addition
to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein, in the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation or granted by law, including recovery of
damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this
Agreement. Each party 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 Agreement and hereby agrees to waive the defense in any
action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

               3.2  NOTICES.  All notices, requests, demands and other
communications which are required or may be given under this Agreement shall

          3.3  ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS.  This Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement among the parties pertaining to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings,
negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the parties
hereto. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this
sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers of or
consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless
approved in writing by the Company and Holder. No action taken pursuant to
this Agreement, including, without limitation, any investigation by or on
behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party
taking such


                                    -14-
<PAGE>


action. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this
Agreement shall not operate or be construed as waiver of any preceding or
succeeding breach and no failure by any party to exercise any right or
privilege hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of such party's rights or
privileges hereunder or shall be deemed a waiver of such party's rights to
exercise the same at any subsequent time or times hereunder.

          3.4  TERMINATION.  This Agreement shall terminate and cease to be
of any further force or effect upon the date (i) the Company obtains the
Financing on or before April 10, 1999, or as such date is extended pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement, or (ii) the Company merges with and
into another corporation or other entity where, upon consummation of the
merger, the holders of the Company's voting stock immediately prior to the
merger will hold less than 50% of the voting stock of the surviving
corporation immediately after the merger.

          3.5  RECAPITALIZATIONS, EXCHANGE, ETC. AFFECTING THE COMPANY'S
STOCK.  The provisions of this Agreement shall apply, to the full extent set
forth herein with respect to the Shares and to any and all shares of capital
stock of the Company that may be issued in respect of, in exchange for, or in
substitution of the Shares and shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock
dividends, splits, reverse splits, combinations, recapitalizations and the
like occurring after the date hereof.

          3.6  MULTIPLE COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in one
or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

          3.7  HEADINGS.  The headings of the Articles and Sections herein
are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be
part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

          3.8  GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California;
provided, however, that if any law or laws of such state shall require or
permit the application of the laws of any other state or other jurisdiction,
such law or laws shall be disregarded with the result that the remaining laws
of the State of California shall nonetheless apply.

          3.9  CONSTRUCTION.  Differences in language as between similar
provisions covering similar matters may reflect differences in style rather
than a different substantive intent and should be construed accordingly.

          3.10  EXPENSES.  Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement,
each party hereto shall pay its own legal, accounting, out-of-pocket and
other expenses incident to this Agreement and to any action taken by such

referred to herein, shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, then to the maximum extent permitted by law,
such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other
provision of this Agreement or any other such document or instrument.

          3.12  CUMULATIVE REMEDIES.  All rights and remedies of either party
hereto are cumulative of each other and of every other right or remedy such
party may otherwise have at law or in equity, and the exercise of one or more
rights or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent
exercise of other rights or remedies.

          WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the
day and year first written above.

THIS WARRANT HAS BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND ITS SALE HAS NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1993. NEITHER THIS WARRANT NOR THE
SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON THE EXERCISE HEREOF NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE
OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN
EXEMPTION THEREFROM.

Warrant No._______                                    Void after May 31, 1998


                       STOCK PURCHASE PURCHASE WARRANT
            (Initially to Purchase __________ Shares of Common Stock)

     This Stock Purchase Warrant ("Warrant") is issued, for good and valuable
consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, to ___________________
______________________________________________________________________________
by ImageWare Software, Inc., a California corporation (the "Company").

     1.  PURCHASE OF SHARES; PURCHASE PRICE. Subject to the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth, the holder of this Warrant is entitled,
upon surrender of this Warrant at the office of the Company at 15373
Innovation Drive, San Diego, California 92128 (or at such other place as the
Company shall notify the holder hereof in writing), to purchase from the
Company ____________ shares of Common Stock of the Company at a purchase
price of $4.00 per share. The shares of Common stock of the Company issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant are hereinafter referred to as the "Shares."

     2.  EXERCISE PERIOD. This Warrant is exercisable at any time from the
date hereof until 5 o'clock P.M., San Diego, California time on May 31, 1998,
at which time this Warrant shall expire.

     3.  METHOD OF EXERCISE. During the period this Warrant remains
outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 2 above, the holder
may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by:

         (a)  surrendering this Warrant, together with a duly executed copy
of the form of Subscription attached hereto, to the Secretary of the Company
at its principal offices; and

         (b)  paying to the Company an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise
Price of the number of Shares being purchased.

     4.  ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES. The number of
Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall
be subject to adjustment from time to time only as follows:

<PAGE>

         (a)  The Exercise Price of this Warrant and the number of Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be appropriately adjusted to
reflect any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares of stock,
reclassification, recapitalization or other similar event affecting the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, as follows:

              (i)  The Exercise Price in effect at the time of such event
shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying
the Exercise Price by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect
to such event, and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event. Such adjustment
shall be made successively whenever any event specified above shall occur.

              (ii) Whenever the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of this
Warrant is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (i) above, the number of Shares
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall simultaneously be adjusted by
multiplying the number of Shares initially issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant by the initial Exercise Price in effect on the date hereof and
dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price, as adjusted.

         (b)  In case the Company shall make or issue, or shall fix a record
date for the determination of eligible holders entitled to receive, a
dividend or other distribution with respect to the shares payable in (i)
securities of the Company (other than Shares of Common Stock) or (ii) assets
(excluding cash dividends paid or payable solely out of retained earnings),
then in each case, the holder of this Warrant on exercise hereof at any time
after the consummation, effective date or record date of such event, shall
receive, in addition to the Shares issuable on such exercise prior to such
date, the securities or other assets of the Company to which such holder
would have been entitled upon such date if such holder had exercised this
Warrant immediately prior thereto (all subject to further adjustment as
provided in this Warrant).

         (c)  In case of any merger of the Company with or into any other
corporation, entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, in
which the Company shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such
reorganization or merger, or any sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company (any such transaction being hereinafter referred to as
a "Reorganization"), then, in each case, (i) the holder of this Warrant shall
be provided with written notice of the proposed Reorganization at least
thirty (30) days prior to the proposed Reorganization date, and (ii) the
holder of this Warrant, on exercise hereof at any time after the consummation
or effective date of such Reorganization (the "Effective Date"), shall
receive, in lieu of the Shares issuable on such exercise prior to the
Effective Date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash)
to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the Effective Date if such
Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto (all subject to
further adjustment as provided in this Warrant).

                                       2

<PAGE>


          (d)  In case of any adjustment or readjustment in the price or kind
of securities issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will
promptly give written notice thereof to the holder of this Warrant in the
form of a certificate, certified and confirmed by the Board of Directors of
the Company, setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in
reasonable detail the computation of such adjustment.

     5.   REDEMPTION.  The Company may redeem this Warrant at any time after
the Company's Common Stock has become publicly traded, at a redemption price
of $.05 per each share of the Company's Common Stock which is issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant, by mailing written notice of such redemption and
the effective date thereof (the "Redemption Date") to the holder of this
Warrant at the address for such holder as reflected on the books of the
Company, at least 30 days prior to the Redemption Date, in the event that the
average of the closing bid price for the Company's Common Stock in the
over-the-counter market or on any stock exchange for any 20 consecutive
trading days equals or exceeds $8.00 per share as reported by any reputable
and recognized reporting service. Unless this Warrant is exercised, it shall
terminate on the Redemption Date, and upon presentation hereof at the offices
of the Company, the holder hereof shall receive the redemption price payable
by check issued by the Company.

     6.   DILUTION OR IMPAIRMENT.  The Company will not, by amendment of its
Articles 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, but will at all times in good faith assist in
the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as
may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holder
of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will at all times reserve and
keep available a number of its authorized Shares of Common Stock, free from
all preemptive rights therein, which will be sufficient to permit the
exercise of this Warrant and (b) shall take all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order that all Shares as may be issued pursuant
to the exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly and validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and
charges with respect to the issue thereof.

     7.   PRE-EXERCISE RIGHTS.  Prior to exercise of this Warrant, the holder
shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder with respect to the
Shares, including (without limitation) the right to vote such Shares, receive
dividends or other distributions thereon, exercise preemptive rights or be
notified of shareholder meetings, and such holder shall not be entitled to
any notice or other communication concerning the business or affairs of the
Company, except as set forth herein.

     8.   RESTRICTED SECURITIES.  The holder understands that this Warrant
and the Shares purchasable hereunder constitute "restricted securities" under
the federal securities laws inasmuch as they have been, or will be, acquired
from the Company in transactions not involving a public offering and
accordingly may not, under such laws and applicable regulations, be resold or
transferred without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or an applicable exemption from registration. The holder further
acknowledges that the Shares and any other

                                       3

<PAGE>


securities issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall bear a legend
substantially in the form of the legend appearing on the face hereof.

     9.   CERTIFICATION OF INVESTMENT PURPOSE.  Unless a current registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), shall be
in effect with respect to the offer and sale of the securities to be issued
upon exercise of this Warrant, the holder of this Warrant covenants and
agrees that, at the time of exercise hereof, such holder will deliver to the
Company a written certification that the securities acquired by the holder
upon exercise hereof are for the account of the holder, are being acquired
for investment purposes only and are not being acquired with a view to, or
for sale in connection with, any public distribution thereof.

    10.   RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER; REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

          (a)     The Holder agrees that prior to making any disposition of
the Warrants or the Shares, the Holder shall give written notice to the
Company describing briefly the manner in which any such proposed disposition
is to be made; and no such disposition shall be made if the Company has
notified the Holder that in the opinion of its counsel, a registration
statement or other notification or post-effective amendment thereto
(hereinafter collectively a "Registration Statement") under the Act is
required with respect to such disposition and no such Registration Statement
has been filed by the Company with, and declared effective, if necessary, by,
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission").

          (b)  (i)     At any time commencing six months after the closing of
the Company's initial public offering of its securities and prior to May 31,
2000, the Company will, as promptly as practicable (but in any event within
60 days), after written request by a person or persons holding (or having the
right to acquire by virtue of holding the Warrants) at least 50% of the
Shares which have been (or may be) issued upon exercise of the Warrants,
prepare and file at such Holders' expense a Registration Statement with the
Commission and appropriate Blue Sky authorities sufficient to permit the
public offering of the Shares (but not Warrants) and will use its best
efforts, at such Holders' expense, through its officer, directors, auditors
and counsel, in all matters necessary or advisable, to cause such
Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable and to
keep such registration effective for a period of the lesser of 90 days or the
date of completion of the distribution described in the Registration
Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall only be obligated to
file one such Registration Statement under this Section 11(b)(i).

              (ii)     Whenever during the period ending on May 31, 2000, the
Company proposes to file with the Commission a Registration Statement (other
than as to securities issued pursuant to an employee benefit plan or as to a
transaction subject to Rule 145 promulgated under the Act or which a form S-4
Registration Statement could be used), it shall, promptly prior to each such
filing, give written notice of such proposed filing to the Holder and each
holder of Shares at their respective addresses as they appear on the records
of the Company, and shall offer to include and shall include in such filing
any proposed disposition of the Shares (but not the Warrants) upon receipt by
the Company, within 20 days after such written notice is given, of a request
therefor setting forth the facts with respect to such proposed disposition
and


                                      4



<PAGE>

all other information with respect to such person reasonably necessary to be
included in such Registration Statement. If the registration for which the
Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an
underwriting, the Company shall so advise as part of the written notice given
pursuant to this Section. In such event, the right of any Holder or holder of
Shares to registration pursuant to Section 11(b)(i) shall be conditioned upon
such holder's participation in such underwriting, and the inclusion of Shares
in the underwriting shall be limited to the extent provided herein. All
holders proposing to distribute their Shares through such underwriting shall
(together with the Company and the other holders distributing their Shares
through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary
form with the managing underwriter selected for such underwriting by the
Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, if the managing
underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the
number of shares to be underwritten, such underwriter may limit the amount of
securities to be included in the registration and underwriting by the holders
of Company securities exercising "piggyback" registration rights (including
the Holder and each holder of Warrants and Shares). The Company shall so
advise all such holders, and the number of shares of such securities that may
be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated among all
of such holders, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective
amounts of securities requested to be included in such registration held by
such holders at the time of filing the registration statement, no security
holder other than one exercising a demand registration right shall have
superior rights with respect to inclusion in a registration than those of the
Holder and each holder of Warrants and Shares and if any party is granted
such superior rights hereafter the Holder and each holder of Warrants and
Shares shall be deemed to be automatically granted similar rights. The
Company shall advise all such holders of any such limitations and of the
number of securities that may be included in the Registration Statement. Any
securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall not be
transferred prior to one hundred twenty (120) days after the effective date
of the registration statement relating thereto, or such shorter period of
time as the underwriters may require.

        (iii) In the event that any such Registration Statement is utilized
for a public offering of any of the Shares to be received upon exercise of
the Warrants pursuant to this Section 10, the Holder may elect to pay the
Exercise Price of the Warrants to the Company out of the proceeds of the sale
of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement concurrently with the
closing of such sale of the Shares; provided that if such sale is not closed
within 90 days of the effective date of such Registration Statement, then the
Holder shall be obligated to pay the Exercise Price of the Warrants to the
Company on such 90th day.

    (c) All fees, disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses (other than the
Holder's brokerage fees and commissions and legal fees of counsel to the
Holder, if any) in connection with the filing of any Registration statement
under Section 10(b) (or obtaining the opinion of counsel and any no-action
position of the Commission with respect to sales under Rule 144) and in
complying with applicable securities and Blue Sky laws shall be borne by the
Company. The Company at its expense will supply any Holder and any holder of
Shares with copies of such Registration Statement and the prospectus included
therein and other related documents any opinions and no-action letters in
such quantities as may be reasonably requested by the Holder or holder of
Shares.

                                      5
<PAGE>

    (d) The Company shall not be required by this Section 10 to file such
Registration Statement if, in the opinion of counsel for the Holders and
holders of Shares and the Company (or, should they not agree, in the opinion
of another counsel experienced in securities law matters acceptable to counsel
for such holders and the Company), the proposed transfer as to which such
Registration Statement is requested is exempt from applicable federal and
state securities laws under Rule 144 under the Act.

    (e) The provisions of this Section 10 and Section 11 hereof shall apply
to the extent as provided herein if the Company chooses to file an Offering
Statement under Regulation A promulgated under the Act.

    (f) The Company agrees that until all Shares have been sold under a
Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act, it will use its
best efforts to keep current in filing all materials required to be filed
with the Commission in order to permit the holders of such securities to sell
the same under Rule 144.

    (g) The Company shall be entitled, for a reasonable period of time which
in no event shall exceed 60 days (i) to postpone the filing of a Registration
Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or to the prospectus
relating thereto otherwise required, or (ii) to suspend effectiveness of the
Registration Statement, if the Company (a) determines, in its reasonable
judgment, that the registration or sale of the Shares would materially
interfere with any pending or proposed financing, acquisition, corporate
reorganization or other material transaction involving the Company or any of
its subsidiaries, and (b) promptly gives those persons exercising their
registration right hereunder written notice of such determination.

    (h) The Company may require those persons exercising their registration
right hereunder to furnish to the Company such information regarding the
distribution of such Shares as the Company may from time to time request in
writing and such other information as may be legally required in connection
with such registration.

    (i) At any time when a prospectus relating to a sale of the Shares is
required to be delivered under the Act, there occurs an event requiring the
preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as
thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Shares, such prospectus will
not contain an 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, the Company will promptly make available
to any Holder any such supplement of amendment. Each Holder agrees that, upon
receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the
kind described in the preceding sentence hereof, such Holder will forthwith
discontinue disposition of Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement
covering such Shares until the Holder's receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended prospectus, and, if so directed by the Company, the
Holder will deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file
copies then in the Holder's possession, of the prospectus covering such
Shares current at the time of receipt of such notice. If such amendments or
supplements are not made by the Company within ten (10) days of such notice
by the Company or if in the opinion of counsel to the Holders such amendments
or supplements to the prospectus, if made, are insufficient in

                                      6

<PAGE>

light of the requirements of the Act and other applicable law, the Holders
shall not be deemed to have exercised their demand registration rights
pursuant to Section 10(b)(i) herein.

11.  INDEMNIFICATION.

          (a)  In the event of the filing of any Registration Statement with
respect to the Shares pursuant to Section 10 hereof, the Company agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Holder or any holder of Shares and each
person, if any, who controls the Holder or any holder of Shares within the
meaning of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint
or several (which shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not
be limited to, all costs of defense and investigation and all attorneys'
fees), to which the Holder or any holder of Shares or controlling person may
become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact contained in any such Registration Statement or Prospectus included
therein, or amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any
such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises
out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement or
Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon, and in
conformity with, written information furnished to the Company by such Holder,
the holder of such Shares or the underwriters of such offering specifically
for use in the preparation thereof. This indemnity will be in addition to any
liability which the Company may otherwise have.

          (b)  The Holders and the holders of Shares agree that they will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each other person referred to in
subparts (1), (2) and (3) of Section 10(a) of the Act in respect of the
Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (which shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, include but not
be limited to, all costs of defense and investigation and all attorneys'
fees) to which the Company or any such director, officer or controlling
person may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect hereof) arise out of or
are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in such
Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein, or amendment or
supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in
each case only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission was made in such Registration
Statement or Prospectus included therein, or amendment or supplement thereto
in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to
the Company by the Holder or holder of Shares specifically for use in the
preparation thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any
liability which the Holder or holder of Shares may otherwise have.

                                       7

<PAGE>

          (c)  Promptly after receipt by any indemnified party under this
Section 11 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified
party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party under this Section 11, notify the indemnifying party of
the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying
party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may
have to any indemnified party otherwise than as to the particular item as to
which indemnification is then being sought solely pursuant to this Section
11. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it
notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying
party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may
wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified,
reasonably assume the defense thereof, subject to the provisions herein
stated, and 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 under this Section 11 for
any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party
in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of
investigation, unless the indemnifying party shall not pursue the action to
its final conclusion. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ
separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense
thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the
expense of the indemnifying party if the indemnifying party has assumed the
defense of the action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party; provided that if the indemnified party is a Holder or a holder of
Shares or a person who controls a Holder or a holder of Shares within the
meaning of the Act, the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of the indemnifying party if (i) the employment of such counsel has
been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party or (ii) the
named parties to any such action, including any impleaded parties, include
both a Holder or a holder of Shares or such controlling person and the
indemnifying party and a Holder or a holder of Shares or such controlling
person shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more
legal defenses available to a Holder or a holder of Shares or controlling
person which are not available to or in conflict with any legal defenses
which may be available to the indemnifying party (in which case the
indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such
action on behalf of a Holder or a holder of Shares or such controlling
person, it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not
have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of a Holder or
a holder of Shares or controlling person, it being understood, however, that
the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or
separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same
jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be
liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of
attorneys for the Holders, the holders of the Shares and controlling persons,
which firm shall be designated in writing by a majority in interest of such
holders and controlling persons based upon the value of the securities
included in the Registration Statement). No settlement of any action against
an indemnified party shall be made without the consent of the indemnified and
the indemnifying parties, which shall not be unreasonably withheld in light
of all factors of importance to such parties.

          12.  CONTRIBUTION. In order to provide for just and equitable
contribution under the Act in any case in which (a) a Holder or any holder of
the Shares or controlling person makes a claim for indemnification pursuant
to Section 11 hereof, but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a
final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the
expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that
such indemnification may not be enforced

                                       8
<PAGE>

in such case notwithstanding the fact that the express provisions of Section
11 hereof provide for indemnification in such case, or (b) contribution under
the Act may be required on the part of any Holder or any holder of the Shares
or controlling person, then the Company and any Holder or any such holder of
the Shares or controlling person shall contribute to the aggregate losses,
claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (which shall, for
all purposes of this Warrant, include, but not be limited to, all costs of
defense and investigation and all attorneys' fees), in either such case
(after contribution from others) on the basis of (c) the relative benefits
received by the Company on the one hand and the Holder or holder of the
Shares, as the case may be, on the other, or (d) if the allocation provided
by clause (c) is not permitted by applicable law, on the basis of relative
fault as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or
alleged ommision to state a material fact relates to information supplied by
the Company on the one hand or a Holder or holder of Shares or controlling
person on the other and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Company and such holders of such securities and such controlling persons
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to
this Section 12 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method
which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in
this Section 12. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a
result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) referred to above in this Section 12 shall be deemed to include any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
10(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

  13. LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT. If this Warrant is lost,
stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, upon receipt of a
reasonable agreement to indemnify the Company, and, in the case of a
mutilated warrant, upon the surrender thereof, issue in the name requested a
new warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen,
mutilated or destroyed.

  14. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The terms and provisions of this Warrant shall
inure to the benefit of, and by binding upon, the Company and the holders
hereof and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

  15. GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the substantive laws of the State of California without
regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

                   RE: NICB/IMAGEWARE RELATIONSHIP AGREEMENT

Dear Mr. Stuart:

I have requested that our Law Department review your letter sent to me and
dated January 9, 1997. Consistent with their clarifications, I can agree to
the following listed points, in addition to the confidentiality agreement
executed by both parties.

1.   In good faith consultation with the National Insurance Crime Bureau
     (NICB), ImageWare Software (IWS) will design and develop software
     programs which support the reduction of vehicle theft and insurance
     related fraud. IWS understands that the NICB may only provide
     information for inclusion in such software programs for use exclusively
     by local, state and federal law enforcement entities. The NICB may allow
     its data for inclusion with other entities subject to approval on a
     case-by-case basis.

2.   IWS will give credit to the NICB by name as participating in the
     development of such programs. This credit will appear in each program
     and on all promotional materials.

3.   The NICB will work and cooperate with IWS on the development of these
     programs. Each party wil maintain the confidentiality of information
     regarding the design and development of these programs.

4.   The NICB will provide IWS with relevant data, in appropriate form, for
     inclusion in these program upon the execution of an appropriate
     licensing agreement. The parties will determine such relevant data at a
     later date.

5.   The NICB will assist IWS in the proliferation of the programs by
     providing liaison with the appropriate federal and state law enforcement
     agencies, and the insurance and automobile industries.

     trademarks, servicemarks and copyrights in the programs created. The
     NICB will retain any trademarks, service marks and copyrights associated
     with data and programs it provides to IWS for inclusion in these
     programs.

I am enclosing a copy of the executed Confidentiality Agreement which you
provided to me. I am also enclosing a Confidentiality Agreement which the
NICB requires IWS to execute. Please forward me a copy of the fully executed
Confidentiality Agreement at your earliest convenience.

existing agreement to reflect any more favorable terms and conditions given

information which is disclosed to the other party and which is subject to
this Article 6.

agrees to defend and hold harmless Atlus from and against all loss, damage,
actions, claims of third parties, cost or expense (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses) arising from (i) the breach or violation or any
representation or warranty of ISI contained herein or (ii) the failure of ISI
to perform or satisfy any covenant or obligation contained herein.

     7.8  ISI agrees that it shall neither use for itself nor license to any
third party any of the Intellectual Property in connection with the design,
use or manufacture of products or services which compete with the Print Club

ARTICLE 8.  BARBER PATENT

     8.1  The parties hereto acknowledge that ISI has assigned U.S. Patent
No. 5,343,386 ("Barber Patent") and related worldwide rights to a third party
pursuant to the Asset Acquisition Agreement dated as of June 19, 1996 between
ISI and David B. Douds. ISI agrees to use its best efforts to obtain the
rights to grant, and to grant, to Atlus the exclusive rights for Atlus to use
the Barber Patent in connection with the Print Club products and services

secure said rights within said period, ISI will negotiate in good faith to
find a mutually agreeable settlement to such matter involving a partial
return of fees paid hereunder.

such right is secured prior to or after the expiration of such ninety (90)
day period described above) to grant to Atlus the license and use of the
Barber Patent, as set forth in Section 2.1, this Agreement will be deemed to
include the Barber Patent as one of the Licensed Patents and Atlus shall have
the rights in the Barber Patent in accordance with Section 2.1 and all other
terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, that in the event ISI
obtains the right to grant to Atlus only part of the rights set forth in
Section 2.1 (I.E., only non-exclusive rights in the Print Club products and
services or non-worldwide rights) then ISI shall be deemed to have granted to
Atlus such fullest rights available to ISI.


                                      6
<PAGE>

     8.3  ISI hereby covenants and agrees to take all action, including
exercising its rights of reversion, if any, in the Barber Patent and shall
not take any action which would jeopardize or restrict the granting of the
Barber Patent rights to Atlus hereunder.

ARTICLE 9.  INFRINGEMENT ACTIONS

     9.1  If any infringement action, proceeding or claim of any kind or
nature is instituted against Atlus because of its development, use and
exploitation of the Intellectual Property, Atlus shall promptly notify ISI in
writing of such action, proceeding or claim and ISI shall defend and save
harmless Atlus against any such action, proceeding or claim; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, if any infringement action, proceeding or claim of any kind or
nature is instituted against Atlus anywhere in the Licensed Territory because
of its development, use and exploitation of the Intellectual Property in
connection with the Print Club products and services, ISI and Atlus shall
cooperate in defending against any such action, proceeding or claim and shall
share in the costs thereof on a 50-50 basis; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER,
that in any infringement action, proceeding or claim of any kind or nature
instituted against Atlus because of its development, use or exploitation of
the Intellectual Property in connection with other products (I.E. non-Print
Club products and services) in Japan. ISI and Atlus each agrees to allocate
such costs in respect thereof on a 70-30 (ISI to Atlus) basis. ISI shall use
its best efforts to ensure that Atlus has the continuous right and use of the
Intellectual Property granted hereunder. If it is determined that any of the
Intellectual Property does infringe upon the rights of another party, ISI and
Atlus shall cooperate to try to obtain the rights to use such Intellectual
Property or shall use its best efforts to modify such Intellectual Property
so as to no longer infringe upon such third party's rights.

     9.2  If during the term of this Agreement any unauthorized use of the
Intellectual Property is made, Atlus shall immediately upon learning thereof
promptly notify ISI in writing, setting forth the facts in reasonable detail.
The parties shall cooperate in good faith to determine what action, if any,
to take against such unauthorized use. The allocation of costs of any action
or proceeding commenced to protect against such unauthorized use and the
allocation of any award received therefrom shall be in accordance with the
first sentence of Section 9.1 above for the respective products in such
respective territory; provided, however, that with respect to the
infringement of the Intellectual Property in connection with Print Club
products or services (or similar or competing products or services), if
requested by Atlus, ISI shall commence action and take steps to protect the
Intellectual Property against such unauthorized use and Atlus shall reimburse
ISI for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs, and any award received in excess
of the costs incurred by and reimbursed to Atlus shall be shared on a 50-50
basis between Atlus and ISI.

     9.3  ISI and Atlus agree to cooperate in good faith, and each agrees to
use its best efforts to assist the other, in the defense or prosecution of
any action, proceeding or claim described in Sections 9.1 and 9.2.

     10.2 In the event of a material default by either party in the
performance of its duties, obligations or undertakings under this Agreement,
the other party shall have the right to give written notice to the defaulting
party advising such party of the specific default involved and, if within
thirty (30) days after such notice the defaulting party shall not have

   Agreement Clarifying and Amending Certain Terms of the License Agreement
                               ("Amendment")


     Without prejudice to any other terms of the "License Agreement" between
Atlus Co. Ltd. ("Atlus") and ImageWare Software, Inc. ("ISI") dated March 7,
1997, the parties wish to clarify certain terms, and amend certain terms of
the License Agreement. Atlus and ISI each acknowledge that consideration has
been given to each of them for the agreements herein, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged. Unless otherwise specified in
this Amendment, all capitalized terms contained herein shall have the meaning
ascribed to those terms within the License Agreement.

1)   Without limiting other meanings, for the purposes of the License
Agreement, "Print Club" shall include among other possible products or
services, any product or service now or hereafter offered by Atlus or its
assignees or licensees in conjunction with any apparatus, operated on a
pay-per-use basis, by means of currency, tokens, credit card or other
transactional means, including without limitation a photo booth or photo
kiosk, permitting customers to create or reproduce images, whether as
stickers, post cards, or any other form of reproducing copies, which images
are generally intended for entertainment or amusement, or for business card,
address labels and similar applications. Print Club shall not include
products designed expressly for law enforcement purposes. Without limiting
Atlus' existing rights under the License Agreement, ISI will in good faith
negotiate with Atlus with respect to the exploitation of the Intellectual
Property for post office kiosks, passport kiosks and driver's license kiosks,
and shall not enter into an arrangement with any other party until such
negotiations have been completed.

2)   ISI acknowledges and agrees that included within the rights granted Atlus
pursuant to Article 2.1 of the License Agreement are all rights heretofore
granted by ISI to David Douds, Imageware Specialty Products, or any other
entity owned or controlled by David Douds.

3)   Article 9.2 of the License Agreement is deleted and replaced with the
following:

     If during the term of this Agreement either party learns of any
     unauthorized use of any Intellectual Property, then that party shall
     promptly notify the other party in writing, setting forth the facts in
     reasonable detail. The parties shall consult in good faith as to what
     action, if any, to take against such unauthorized use. Following such
     consultation, Atlus shall have the exclusive right in its sole and
     absolute discretion to commence and pursue such litigation to protect
     against such unauthorized use, at its cost and in its own name. ISI
     shall cooperate fully with Atlus in such litigation by producing any and
     all records, executing all documents, and providing all testimony and
     other assistance as Atlus may require to exercise its rights under this
     Section 9, or to pursue or facilitate such litigation and Atlus shall
     reimburse ISI for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in such regard.
     Any damages or other payments realized in connection with any such
     litigation shall be first applied to repay Atlus and ISI proportionally
     for the expenses each incurred, including legal fees, in connection with
     such litigation. Any damages, payments and license fees remaining
     following such application

<PAGE>

     payable in consideration of future use of any Intellectual Property,
     shall be shared on an seventy percent (70%) (Atlus), thirty percent
     (30%) (ISI) basis. Atlus may settle, compromise or dismiss any action in
     its sole discretion and pursuant to such terms as it deems appropriate.
     Should Atlus choose not to commence or pursue litigation then ISI may
     commence and pursue such litigation at its cost, and any recovery shall
     be applied first to reimburse ISI for all of its expenses, including
     legal fees, and the balance shared on a 70/30 basis between ISI and
     Atlus.

4)   Article 9.3 shall be renumbered Article 9.4, and a new Article 9.3 shall
be added as follows:

     ISI understands that in connection with certain litigation, Atlus may
     wish to pursue such litigation in the name of ISI. In such event, ISI
     shall cooperate with Atlus in pursuing such actions on terms Atlus and
     ISI may determine at the time.

5)   Atlus hereby confirms its agreement to purchase and then convert the
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) eight percent (8%) convertible notes
held by three (3) holders on or before November 3, 1997, and to purchase Two
Million and Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) of ISI stock in
accordance with Phase II of the March 7, 1997 Securities Purchase Agreement
on or before November 3, 1997, subject to the conditions therein (other than
the forecast condition). Atlus will reimburse ISI for the payment made by ISI
to David Douds on or before August 28, 1997.

6)   The parties intend to continue their good faith discussions regarding
other needed clarifications and amendments of the License Agreement, although
the rights and obligations set forth in this Amendment are in no way
dependent upon the existence or outcome of those discussions. Each of the
parties has been represented by counsel in connection with this amendment,
which shall be effective as of the date hereof.

     Effective date or the anniversary thereof. Provided that PCPC provides
     written notice to ImageWare at least 60 days before the expiration of
     the Initial Term of its desire to renew the Agreement, ImageWare shall

     accordance with the Specifications set forth in Exhibit B hereto, as
     well as any other applicable Specifications.

3.2  PCPC shall lend to ImageWare all hardware reasonably required for
     testing the Product, including at minimum a printer, scanner and video

<PAGE>

     such hardware in the same condition in which it was furnished, normal wear
     and tear excepted, and shall return such hardware to PCPC upon Acceptance
     of the Product by PCPC, unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties based
     upon the need to have ImageWare perform additional support and testing of

     shall deliver the Product to PCPC. In the event that ImageWare fails to
     develop and deliver the Product within such 60-day period, provided that
     PCPC has fulfilled all of its obligations hereunder, (a) the Development
     Fee, as defined below, shall be reduced by the amount of $5,000.00, up to a
     maximum of $40,000; (b) the Annual Fee, as defined below, shall be reduced

     period during which the Product has not been delivered. In the event that
     the Product has not been developed and delivered within 150 days of the
     Effective Date, PCPC may, at its sole option and election, terminate this
     Agreement without further obligation, in which case, ImageWare shall refund
     all monies paid by PCPC.

3.4  Upon ImageWare's delivery of the Product to PCPC, PCPC shall have a period
     of 30 days (the "Acceptance Period") to test the Product for conformity to
     the Specifications. In the event that the Product operates in conformity
     with the Specifications during the Acceptance Period, PCPC shall notify
     ImageWare in writing that Acceptance has occurred. In the event that the
     Product does not operate in conformity with the Specifications, PCPC shall
     so notify ImageWare in writing setting forth with reasonable specificity
     the nature of such nonconformity. In such event, ImageWare shall correct
     the nonconformity within 30 days of receipt of such notice, and shall
     deliver the corrected Product to PCPC, and the Acceptance Period shall
     recommence. In the event that the Product still fails to operate in
     conformity with the Specifications after the second Acceptance Period has
     run, PCPC may, at its sole option and election, (a) afford ImageWare
     additional opportunities to correct the nonconformity, to be followed by
     additional Acceptance Periods, subject to the procedure set forth in this
     paragraph, or (b) terminate this Agreement without further obligation, in
     which case, ImageWare shall refund all monies paid by PCPC.

     patent rights, copyrights, trade secret rights and any other rights

     the Work Product pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, ImageWare agrees to
     assign, or cause its employees, agents and contractors to assign all such
     Work Product to PCPC and to execute all documents and perform all acts, or

     applying for, prosecuting, securing and maintaining such protection. PCPC
     shall have the exclusive right to enforce and defend the intellectual
     property rights in the Work Product.

4.5  All applicable PCPC and ImageWare patent and copyright notices relating to

     without additional charge, to a list of additional territories
     substantially identical to the list of territories set forth in Exhibit C
     hereto, as soon as ImageWare shall have reasonably determined the
     appropriate territorial scope of its intellectual property protection for
     the Technology, but in no event more than 90 days from the latest date of
     execution of this Agreement unless the parties shall have agreed in writing
     to a later date. In the event that ImageWare has not provided written
     confirmation of the extension of such license within such 90-day period,
     such license shall be deemed to have been extended to the territories set
     forth in Exhibit C as of the date of expiration of such 90-day period.
     ImageWare further agrees that it shall not during the term of this
     Agreement make the Technology available to any third party for use in
     connection with products competitive with the Product. ImageWare further
     grants to PCPC a nonexclusive license everywhere in the world to use the

               PROPOSAL FOR PANASONIC COMPUTER PERIPHERAL COMPANY

                      SWING STUDIO MIP SOFTWARE APPLICATION

                                 SCOPE OF WORK

As defined in following outline from T. Meyerhoff. This proposal is for the
first and second phase of the "three tiers" of application scope. That is to
fully develop the Swing Studio application that contains the basic tools
required for a MIP Studio System and create a distinct, "idiot proof", path
through the application. The third phase for a kiosk based system will best be
finalized after the initial phases are completed and user feedback is
considered. Also there are a number of additional issues to consider such as
coin mechanisms, I/O control, etc. We believe that we will be very well
positioned to carry out this task, but it is our understanding that the manned
applications are of priority.

In order to quote the timeframe required, we must take exception to a few items
on the list. The following will not be part of the developed product, but could
be added a later time:

1.  No Morphing capability
2.  Limited Sprite support
3.  Twain scanning only
4.  No modem call-out for supply replenishment
5.  No kiosk or Studio System components
6.  We require additional details to understand how a "MIP Card Print Preview
    will simulate Lenticular lens effect" feature
7.  Win 95 or NT version 4.0

Viisage's written consent, accident, neglect, misuse, failure to maintain a
suitable operating environment, tampering, or any other event other than

<PAGE>


INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT (EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED
BELOW), WITH RESPECT TO THE PROGRAM.


    6.4       EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL VIISAGE BE
LIABLE TO IMAGEWARE OR ANY CUSTOMER FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST PROFITS, LOST
OPPORTUNITIES, COSTS OF DELAY, ANY FAILURE OF DELIVERY, COSTS OF LOST OR
DAMAGED DATA OR DOCUMENTATION, OR LIABILITIES TO THIRD PARTIES ARISING FROM
ANY SOURCE, EVEN IF VIISAGE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES.

    6.5       EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. IMAGEWARE'S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST VIISAGE
FOR NONPERFORMANCE OF THE WARRANTY SHALL BE VIISAGE'S CORRECTION OF ANY ERROR
OR DEFECT IN THE PROGRAM OF WHICH IMAGEWARE HAS GIVEN NOTICE TO VIISAGE OR AN
EQUITABLE REFUND OF THE AMOUNTS PAID TO VIISAGE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WHICH
RELATE TO THE DEFECTIVE PROGRAM.

    6.6       INDEMNIFICATION BY IMAGEWARE. ImageWare shall indemnify Viisage

investigation, litigation or other proceeding (including any threatened
investigation or litigation or other proceedings) relating to any act or
service performed by ImageWare hereunder, including without limitation the
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any

SECTION 8. CONFIDENTIALITY

    8.1       NON-DISCLOSURE. The parties agree to keep confidential and not
to disclose the proprietary information marked as confidential by the other
party ("Confidential Information"). Each party shall take the same
precautions with the other party's Confidential Information as it takes in
protecting its own confidential information (and in no event less than the
software industry standard) to ensure that no unauthorized persons have
access to the Confidential Information and that no unauthorized copies
are made, except that the receiving party may disclose Confidential
Information as required by law, regulation, or court order and to employees
or agents who have a need to receive or use such Confidential Information and
who shall be obligated in a similar manner. If a party is legally compelled
to disclose Confidential Information, the party shall provide the other party
with prompt prior written notice of such requirement and an opportunity to
participate in such legal proceedings to the greatest extent possible.
Confidential Information does not include information (a) already known to or
independently developed by the receiving party which is not based upon or
derived from Confidential Information, (b) generally known to the public
through no wrongful act or fault of the receiving party, or (c) disclosed by a
third party who has a right to do so without restriction as to disclosure
thereof.

    8.2       RETURN OF INFORMATION. Upon expiration or termination of this
Agreement, the parties shall promptly return to each other all Confidential
Information or certify that such Confidential Information has been destroyed.

    8.3       EQUITABLE REMEDIES. The parties acknowledge that the
restrictions set forth in this Section 8 in this Agreement are reasonable to
protect the other party's business interests. Accordingly, the parties
acknowledge that a violation of a provision of this Section 8 would cause
immediate and irreparable harm to the other party. Therefore, the parties
agree that in addition to any other legal and/or equitable relief of remedies
available to the other party for enforcement of the terms of this Section 8,
the other party shall be entitled to injunctive relief against any violation
of this Section 8.

SECTION 9. NO REVERSE ENGINEERING, COPYING, ETC.

    9.1       NO REVERSE ENGINEERING, ETC. Except as permitted under
Section 4.1, ImageWare may not modify, decompile, copy, disassemble,
translate, or reverse engineer the Program without the prior written consent
of Viisage. ImageWare shall not modify third party software embedded or
contained in or provided with the Program without the express consent of the
third party owner or licensor of such software. ImageWare may not copy or
otherwise reproduce any Documentation without the prior written consent of
Viisage.


                                        6

<PAGE>

     9.2   NO ALTERATION OF MARKINGS. ImageWare may not alter any proprietary
markings on the packaging of the Program or on the Documentation, including
copyright, trademark, trade name and patent legends, and shall not use or
register any trademarks or trade names similar thereto unless Viisage
provides prior written approval therefor. ImageWare shall immediately
discontinue use of all of such trademarks and trade names upon termination of
this Agreement.

SECTION 10. PATENT AND COPYRIGHT INDEMNIFICATION

     10.1  INDEMNIFICATION TERMS. Viisage shall defend or, at its option,
settle any claim or proceeding brought against ImageWare to the extent that
it is based on an assertion that the Program infringes any United States
patent or copyright of any third party and shall indemnify ImageWare against
all costs, damages, and expenses finally awarded against ImageWare which
result from any such claim, provided that Viisage shall have no liability
hereunder unless (a) ImageWare gives prompt written notice of any such claim
or proceeding, (b) Viisage has sole control of the defense of any such claim
or proceeding and all negotiations for its compromise or settlement, and (c)
ImageWare reasonably cooperates in the defense and settlement thereof and
does not admit liability or settle such claim without Viisage's written
consent. In the event that the Program is likely to become, in Viisage's
opinion, or becomes, the subject of a claim, suit, proceeding, or action for
infringement or misappropriation of a United States patent or copyright,
Viisage shall have the right, at its option and expense, to perform one of
the following in its discretion:

        (i)     replace the Program with compatible, functionally equivalent
                non-infringing technology;

        (ii)    modify the Program to make it non-infringing without impairing
                the Customer's ability to use and operate the Program in
                accordance with the Documentation; or

        (iii)   procure, at no increased cost to ImageWare, the right to
                continue using the Program.

     10.2  NON-INFRINGING RELEASES.  If Viisage supplies, at its expense, a
non-infringing release of the Program or a non-infringing replacement
product, ImageWare shall require the Customer to permit installation of such
non-infringing release or product on its system or hardware and terminate use
of prior release(s) of the Program. Thereafter, Viisage may withdraw
maintenance and support for the prior version of the Program.

     10.3  NO LIABILITY.  Viisage shall have no liability to ImageWare that
is based on or arises out of the use of the Program or any component thereof
when any modification not authorized in writing by Viisage causes
infringement or where the combination of the Program with other hardware or
software not licensed, provided by, or approved by Viisage causes the
infringement.

                                         7
<PAGE>


     10.4  DISCONTINUANCE OF PROGRAM.  If, in its judgment, Viisage deems
that, due to a claim or proceeding based on alleged infringement, it is not in
Viisage's practical interest to continue distributing the Program, Viisage
may require ImageWare, upon thirty (30) days written notice, to terminate the
use of the Program. Thirty days after notice to cease the use of the Program,
the Agreement shall terminate as to the Program involved, ImageWare shall
receive a prorated refund of any fee paid under this Agreement.

     10.5  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED
OTHERWISE HEREIN, THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER
OBLIGATIONS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND STATE THE SOLE, EXCLUSIVE, AND ENTIRE LIABILITY OF
VIISAGE AND THE SOLE, EXCLUSIVE, AND ENTIRE REMEDY OF IMAGEWARE WITH RESPECT
TO ANY CLAIM OF INFRINGEMENT BY THE PROGRAM. IN NO EVENT SHALL VIISAGE BE
LIABLE FOR LOST PROFITS OR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
ARISING OUT OF ANY INFRINGEMENT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF VIISAGE HAS
BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

SECTION 11.  TERM AND TERMINATION

discretion:

non-infringing replacement product, Licensee shall promptly permit installation
of such non-infringing release or product on the Authorized Hardware and
terminate use of prior release(s) of the Program.

         8.3 Licensor shall have no liability to Licensee that is based on or
arises out of the use of the Program or any component thereof when any
modification not authorized in writing by Licensor causes infringement or where
the combination of the Program with other hardware or software not licensed,
provided by, or approved by Licensor causes the infringement.

         8.4 If, in its judgment, Licensor deems that, due to a claim or
proceeding based on alleged infringement or for any other reason, it is not in
Licensor's practical interest to continue


                                       16

THIS SECTION ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION
THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND STATE THE SOLE, EXCLUSIVE, AND

     purpose of this paragraph.

8.7  Visionics may change the List Prices as defined in Exhibit C,
     Maintenance Fees and Upgrade Fees, in whole or in part, at any time
     upon no less than 90 days prior notice to VAR, subject to any binding
     commitment that Visionics has made to VAR, but only if Visionics
     generally applies such changes to its other VARs. Visionics may also
     increase the Product Discount, Maintenance Discount or Upgrade Discount
     upon no less than 30 days prior notice to VAR.

8.8  All amounts payable by VAR under this Agreement are exclusive of any
     tax, levy or similar governmental charge that may be assessed by any
     jurisdiction, whether based on gross revenue, the delivery, possession
     or use of the VARs product, the execution or performance of this
     Agreement or otherwise, except for net income, net worth or franchise
     taxes assessed on VAR outside of the Territory. If, under the laws of the
     Territory, VAR is required to withhold any taxes on such payments, then
     the amount of the payment will be automatically increased to totally
     offset such tax, so that the amount actually remitted to Visionics, net
     of all taxes, equals the amount invoiced or otherwise due. VAR
     promptly furnish Visionics with the official receipt of payment of these
     taxes to the appropriate taxing authority. VAR will pay all other

     taxes, levies or similar governmental charges or provide Visionics with
     a certificate of exemption acceptable to the taxing authority.

9.1  VAR shall be responsible for all technical support inquiries relating to
     the VFPs and VCP which originate from VARs customers within the
     Territory. These services include, but are not limited to: adequate
     technical assistance, notification of upgrades, distribution of upgrades
     and updates, and obtaining bug fixes from Visionics and distributing
     them to the Customers.

     VAR shall put together an appropriate maintenance program that it will
     offer for a fee to its customers.

9.2  Visionics shall provide VAR personnel with reasonable training, such
     technical information, current maintenance documentation, and
     assistance, by E-Mail or by fax, by phone at VARs telephone expense, to
     enable VAR to provide adequate support services to Customers.

9.3  Visionics shall provide notice of upgrades, identified problems, and
     technical letters to VAR in a timely fashion.

                               TERM OF AGREEMENT

10.1 The term of this Agreement shall commence upon the Effective Date of
     this Agreement and shall expire in three years. This Agreement may be
     renewed at Visionics' option and in writing after a performance review
     to be conducted no later than 6 months before the Date of Expiration of
     this Agreement. The obligation to pay royalty on residual product stock
     that uses the Engine shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

                                  SECTION 11
                                  TERMINATION

11.1 In the event that (1) VAR fails to make any royalty payments to
     Visionics pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (2) bankruptcy,
     insolvency or reorganization proceedings, or other proceedings analogous
     in nature or effect, are instituted against the VAR or by the VAR with
     respect to itself, or (3) VAR breaches any representation or warranty
     made herein, Visionics may terminate this Agreement forthwith upon
     written notice to VAR.

11.2 VAR has the right to terminate this Agreement without cause at any time
     with 60 day written notice to Visionics.

<PAGE>

11.3 Upon expiration of the term of this Agreement, all rights granted to VAR
     hereunder shall immediately and without further action by Visionics
     revert to Visionics. VAR shall not thereafter manufacture, advertise,
     distribute or sell VFPs; provided, however, that the VAR may sell off
     existing inventories of the VFPs for a period of six months, subject to
     all the other terms and conditions hereof. After expiration or other
     termination of this Agreement, VAR shall continue to pay all royalties
     that become due and payable hereunder.

11.4 Visionics and VAR agree that upon expiration or termination of this
     Agreement, neither party shall be liable to the other for any damages or
     expenditures, loss of profits of any kind or nature sustained or arising
     out of, or alleged to have been sustained or to have arisen out of such
     termination. The expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not,
     however, relieve or release either party from making payments which may
     be owing to the other party under the terms of this Agreement.

11.5 Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, VAR shall immediately
     cease all use of Visionics' Trademarks, and will not use any trademark

                REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES/INDEMNIFICATION

12.1 Each party represents and warrants to the other that this Agreement has
     been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it; it has the full
     power and authority and is free to enter into this Agreement and to
     perform its obligations hereunder; this Agreement constitutes its valid
     and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms; and the
     making of this Agreement does not violate any agreement, right or
     obligation existing between it and any other person, firm or
     corporation, on the other hand.

12.2 VAR represents and warrants that any materials created or added to the
     VFP or OSP or the VCP Product Set by VAR or its agents, does not and
     will not infringe the proprietary rights of any third party including,
     without limitation, patents, copyrights, trade secrets, rights of
     privacy and other intellectual property rights. VAR further represents
     and warrants that the VCP Product Set will be manufactured in accordance
     with industry standards for similar products, to the best of its
     knowledge will be free of defects, and will not be harmful to the
     property or person of third parties. VAR will handle in a professional

12.3 Each party shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other (and the
     other's officers, directors, and affiliated companies) from any cost or
     expense (including reasonable attorney's fees), whether awarded by a
     court of panel or arbiters or paid in settlement, payable by the
     indemnified party to a third party as a result of a breach by the other
     party to this Agreement of a representation or warranty contained in
     this section. The party who would be entitled to indemnification shall
     promptly notify the other party of any such claim or proceeding and
     shall not settle any such claim or proceeding without the indemnifying
     party's prior written consent. The indemnified party shall have the
     right at its expense to participate in the defense thereof with counsel
     of its choice, provided that the indemnifying party shall have the right
     at all times to retain or resume control of the conduct of such defense.
     This indemnification obligation shall survive for two years after
     termination or expiration of this Agreement.

<PAGE>

12.4 Visionics represents and warrants to VAR that the sale of the VFP and
     use of the Engine, OSP, and SDK to produce and sell the VCP by VAR will
     not infringe any copyright, patent, trade secret, or other intellectual
     property rights of any third party and that Visionics has the right to
     grant the licenses hereunder to VAR. For purposes of this section, VFP,
     Engine, OSP, and SDK are collectively referred to as "Licensed Products".
     Visionics shall indemnify, defend, and hold VAR harmless against any
     claim that the use of the Licensed Products in accordance with this
     Agreement, infringes any third-party intellectual property rights.
     Visionics shall have the right and responsibility to control the defense
     and all related settlement negotiations. Visionics shall bear all the
     expenses for any such defense and negotiations. If any infringement
     claim has occurred or is reasonably likely to occur, then Visionics
     shall be obligated, at VAR's option, either (i) to procure the right for
     VAR to continue the use of the Licensed Products; (ii) replace or modify
     the Licensed Products so they are noninfringing; or (iii) if neither of
     the foregoing options are available, to return to VAR the fees paid by
     VAR under this Agreement. Visionics shall reimburse VAR on a monthly
     basis for any and all damages and expenses incurred by VAR as a direct
     or indirect result of a third-party infringement claim. Visionics
     further represents and warrants to VAR that the Licensed Products shall
     be of the quality for which they were contracted, and fit for the
     purpose for which they were intended by VAR.

                                  SECTION 13
                           LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

13.1 Under no circumstances will either Party or related persons, be liable
     for any consequential, indirect, special, punitive or incidental
     damages or lost profits, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, based on
     claims of either Party, their dealers or Customers (including, but not
     limited to, claims for loss or data, goodwill, use of money or use of
     the Engine/VFP, interruption in use or availability of data, stoppage of
     other work or impairment or other assets), arising out of breach or
     failure of express or implied warranty or condition, breach of contract,
     misrepresentation, negligence, strict liability in tort or otherwise. In
     no event will the aggregate liability which either Party or related
     persons may incur in any action or proceeding exceed the total amount
     actually paid to by either Party for the specific item that directly
     caused the damage. Visionics disclaims any and all liability for
     recommendations that Visionics may make to VAR, its dealers or Customers,
     with respect to third party products that Visionics may recommend. This
     section will not apply only when and to the extent that applicable law
     specifically requires liability, despite the forgoing exclusion and
     limitation.

13.2 VAR agrees to include an appropriate end-user license in its VCP Product
     Set that will hold the VAR and Visionics harmless against claims by
     third party. This end-user license should include explicit language to
     the effect that the product is sold as "AS IS". Alternatively VAR may
     elect to purchase product liability insurance to cover potential claims
     and agrees to indemnify Visionics against all third Party claims in
     relation to the VFPs or VCPs.

C.R.I.M.E.S. is an integrated suite of software products which aids law
enforcement in the criminal investigative and arrest process. The
C.R.I.M.E.S. modular suite consists of five programs which are able to work
independent of one another. Included in the suite are: Suspect ID-Registered
Trademark-, a full color, photo-realistic composite program. Crime
Lab-Registered Trademark-, a photo and video image enhancement program,
Vehicle ID-TM-, a vehicle identification program, Crime Capture System-TM-, a
digital booking system, and Face ID-TM-, a facial recognition program.

Face ID-TM-is the program that Visionics Engine, OSPs and VFPs will be
integrated with. The current published description of Face ID-TM- is the
following:

Face ID is a facial recognition and retrieval program that helps officers
positively identify both unknown suspects and criminals with multiple
aliases. Quickly identify a suspect at the time of booking, or if caught on
video by searching local, county, regional or state digital photobases. Face
ID searches can be conducted with or without setting criteria filters.
Identify a suspect by searching a photo-realistic suspect composite against a
digital booking database. Rather than searching a large database one photo at
a time. a witness can average photographs and/or composites to rapidly
identify a suspect.

performance under this contract, new technologies, proprietary and
confidential concepts, methods, techniques, processes and ideas, whether or
not patentable or copyrightable, and whether or not constituting inventions
may result which the parties now agree shall constitute protectable
Intellectual Property. All right, title and interest, including trademarks,

processes and ideas developed and funded under this contract shall be the
exclusive property of IWS. All right, title and interest, including
trademarks, copyright interests and other forms of intellectual property, in
and to such intellectual property developed by IWS, its employees, IWSs,
vendors or agents, in the performance of this agreement shall be the property

Upon final acceptance, IWS hereby grants to LASD a perpetual, non-exclusive,
royalty-free, irrevocable, fully-paid license to all Software and its
associated documentation. No title to or ownership of the Software or any of
its parts is transferred to LASD. Title to the Software and all patents,
copyrights, trade secrets, and any other applicable intellectual property
rights shall remain with IWS and/or its vendors whether developed prior to or
during the performance of this contract.

DBI or LASD funded products and inventions developed subsequently to this
agreement that are not based on IWS patents, trade secrets or any other
applicable intellectual, property rights shall be considered DBI or LASD
property respectively.

<PAGE>

twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and the years 1999 and 2000 and
leap-year calculations, to the extent that other information technology, used
in combination with the information technology being provided hereunder,
properly exchanges date/time data with it. The remedies available to DBI
under this warranty shall include, but not be limited to, repair or replacement
of any listed product. Nothing in this warranty shall be construed to limit
any rights or remedies DBI may otherwise have under this agreement with
respect to defects other than year 2000 performance.

8. HARDWARE WARRANTY

IWS represents and warrants (1) that all hardware delivered pursuant hereto
will be new and shall be free from defects in material; that all items will
conform to the specifications as set forth in Exhibit A - "IWS Pricing
Proposal", Exhibit B - "DBI contract overview" and Exhibit D - "Scope of
Work", and Exhibit F; and (3) that all hardware warranty services performed
pursuant hereto will be free from defects in material and workmanship and
will be performed in accordance with the specifications and instructions of

is unmodified and operated in accordance with the instructions of IWS. IWS's
sole obligation under this warranty shall be to provide corrections to the
Software to cause it to perform as specified in Exhibit B and Exhibit F. This
warranty will cover one (1) year from time of System Acceptance.

10. INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE

IWS will provide a System Acceptance Test Plan as a formal deliverable for
Customer acceptance, which is not to be unreasonably held. The plan will
conform to requirements from Exhibit A and Exhibit F.

The Functional Acceptance test for each deliverable will take place after
ImageWare has verified that the installation of all necessary hardware and
software is complete and ready for testing. The Functional Acceptance test
for each deliverable will be considered successful if the requirements
defined in the System Acceptance Test Plan are satisfied.

each of the phases there will be a final testing of all deliverables.

11. INSURANCE

times comply with all laws, rules and regulations of government and other
bodies having jurisdiction over the area in which the services are being
conducted.

13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Notwithstanding any provisions of this contract to the contrary, IWS hereby
acknowledges and agrees that DBI's total liability to IWS under this contract

brought against DBI alleging that the System Software infringes a 3rd party's
patents or copyright, provided that IWS is notified promptly by DBI of any
such claim (including any threatened claim) and IWS has sole control of the
defense with respect to such claims. The preceding indemnification by IWS
will not apply to any claim based, in whole or in part, on any modification
of the Software made by any person other than IWS. If a final injunction is
issued, or, IWS believes, is likely to be entered, prohibiting the use of the
Software by DBI, IWS will, at its sole discretion and expense, either: (i)
procure for DBI the right to use the Software as provided herein, (ii)
replace the Software with non-infringing, functionally equivalent product;
(iii) suitably modify the Software so that it is not infringing and provides
similar functionality; or (iv) accept return of the Software and refund the
purchase price. IWS's LIABILITY FOR ANY INFRINGING SOFTWARE IS STRICTLY
LIMITED TO THE FOREGOING.

EXHIBIT B - DBI CONTRACT OVERVIEW                                 JULY 6, 1999

                          DBI CONTRACT OVERVIEW

     This proposal is in response to a request by the Identification Unit of
     the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Exhibit F. It addresses and
     provides solutions for many needs. Overall, it is a complete turn-key
     solution that has been designed to eliminate these needs. The proposal
     has no hidden costs and leaves many options.

     Because of the many requirements that must be satisfied, this section is
     broken into several phases in addition to providing system interfaces.
     These phases flow in logical order and associated costs are paralleled
     in the Cost Proposal.

     PROJECT OVERVIEW

     The heart of this project is a central mugshot server that must power
     investigative clients throughout the County and the State. The server is
     fully scaleable and capable of processing and distributing information
     to a large number of client sources. The software that will drive this
     solution is ImageWare's Crime Capture System (CCS). CCS runs on the
     Windows NT 4.0 platform and will utilize Oracle 8.0 database software
     as required by the County. CCS will either feed or be queried by a
     minimum of five different subsystems including: CCHRS, LARCIS, CAL-PHOTO
     ID, CAL-GANG, and via secure Intra-net. The system proposed is a
     complete turn-key solution that meets current needs and provides many
     options for the future. The entire system is fully Year 2000 compliant
     and meets all State and Federal ANSI/NIST standards.

     The system components will connect to the existing network directly,
     with each agency or the county being responsible to provide LAN
     connections for the new equipment. The operating system for the central
     server will be Microsoft Windows NT 4.0. The protocol will be TCP/IP.
     All connections to either the network or additional devices will be
     industry standard connections.

     Data archive and backup shall be accomplished on-line.

     System security will make use of both operating system permissions as
     well as database software security. This will allow access to certain
     functions and data to be controlled by the system administrator. These
     privileges and permissions will be given and controlled by user login.
     There will be an administrative function available only to the system
     administrator, where these permissions and privileges are maintained.

     PHASE I

     In the initial phase, ImageWare will install an IBM Netfinity 7000 M10
     mug server that will eventually act in place of the current mugshot
     server in Los Angeles County. IWS will convert the existing images and
     data (approx. 250,000) and populate the current version of CCS, which
     runs on Windows NT 4.0 and Sybase 6.0 database software. The purpose for
     installing and converting the existing images on Sybase before CCS is
     ported to Oracle is to satisfy the immediate needs for the County.
     Examples would be creating

EXHIBIT B - DBI CONTRACT OVERVIEW                                 JULY 6, 1999

     photo line-ups or searching, viewing and printing mugshots. In addition
     to converting the existing database, we will also de-duplicate it.
     Because of certain limitations to the existing photo database software,
     there are duplicate records and photos of a good percentage of the
     entire database. A de-duplication procedure that is agreed upon by both
     IWS and the County will eliminate the unwanted photos and, or records.

     While the conversion is taking place, IWS will complete the interface
     with the DBI store and forward. The CCS server will identify, read and
     export standard NIST type 1, 2 and Type 10 data packages from the
     existing DBI store and forward server. Completion of this interface will
     effectively replace the existing DBI Photo RAID. The existing images
     will have been converted and all new records will be delivered directly
     from the DBI Tenprinters to the CCS database.

     Once the NIST packages populate the CCS database, the records and photos
     can be searched by CCS Investigative software. This software will be
     responsible for satisfying the County's immediate investigative needs.
     Phase I includes 20 copies of CCS Investigative software and 20 copies
     of Suspect ID composite software.

     Face ID-Registered Trademark- facial recognition server software is also
     being offered with this proposal, at no charge! We are offering to
     convert the existing images into Face ID as well as provide software
     that enrolls all new captured images into Face ID. Basically, all images
     that populate the CCS database will also be enrolled into Face ID.

     At no cost to the County, IWS will install Face ID server software and
     convert all existing images to Face ID. All new images will be
     automatically enrolled in Face ID and IWS will provide 4 copies of Face
     ID client software. Upon approval from LA County and DOJ, IWS will
     enroll Megan's Law images into a separate Face ID database at no charge.
     IWS may provide updates of Face ID database charging a fee to be agreed
     with LASD and will discuss the possibility of creating a customized
     product to import future versions of Megan's Law images. All Face ID
     client sites will then have facial recognition capabilities against the
     Megan's Law database.

     Several other LA County law enforcement agencies have shown interest in
     purchasing Face ID client software as well. There is an issue as to how
     will these Face ID clients effect the load on the CCS server. Will it
     slow it down? The answer is no! We are going to isolate just one of the
     four processors in the Netfinity server for Face ID crunching. When the
     extracted facial data from the suspect mugshots is being searched by a
     Face ID client, only one server processor will be used. The remaining
     three processors are more than enough to handle all the queries and
     changes to the CCS database.

     When the Face ID clients grow too large in number or when the database
     gets too large for one processor to sort in a desirable amount of time,
     then ImageWare will require new Face ID client customers to add 'swarm'
     machines to the server solution 'Swarm' machines are basically PC boxes
     that contain at least one standard Pentium II or greater processor and a
     certain amount of RAM. They are then configured to process data being

                                       2

EXHIBIT B - DBI CONTRACT OVERVIEW                                JULY 6, 1999


       searched by Face ID clients. "Swarm" machines distribute the Face ID
       processing workload. The more "swarm" machines added to the system,
       the more the workload is distributed. Search times will go down as
       clients and "swarms" are added.


       SERVER SPECIFICATIONS
       The proposed server is an IBM Netfinity 7000 M10 Server. The image
       server will be running Windows NT 4.0 that provides a second level of
       system security and stability. Initially, the server will be running
       the current Sybase version of CCS. Phase 2 converts this database to
       Oracle.


       The database is all open architecture, ODBC compliant, allowing for
       ease of data sharing with other ODBC compliant systems. The server is
       capable of storing the mug photo's and text data in Los Angeles County
       booking system for a minimum of five years.

       The server is a high performance 400 MHz Quad XEON Processor system.
       It has RAID V hot swap drive array and Mirrored OS. It is sized with
       today's performance and tomorrow's growth in mind. Installing a RAID V
       system provides a very high fault tolerant data storage system while
       not degrading performance and allows the storage of business-critical
       data with confidence.

       A UPS will protect the system from power fluctuations and momentary
       outages. The system will have a redundant power supply. The server
       will be equipped with a modem and remote diagnostic software, allowing
       for quicker response and problem resolution. The system also includes
       a DLT tape drive for back-ups and a CD ROM Drive. The server will
       utilize the existing network which utilizes the TCP/IP protocol.


       SOFTWARE CAPABILITIES

       The CCS central server software includes several administrative
       functions, including the setup and maintenance of all drop down menus
       and pick lists, the archive function, and the assignment of names and
       passwords. The 4 User Defined fields are also edited from here.

       IBM Netfinity Management software will be used to remotely monitor and
       maintain the CCS server.

       Client Investigative application will not be installed on server.

       CCS INVESTIGATIVE SOFTWARE
       CCS Investigative workstation software includes the client software
       necessary to search the database based on demographic information,
       create photo line-ups, view photo mug books, and print. Any printer
       that includes a Windows NT driver may be utilized. The software can
       connect with and make use of peripherals with TWAIN drivers (such as


                                           3

EXHIBIT B - DBI CONTRACT OVERVIEW                                 JULY 6, 1999


       scanners), and have the ability to import images from files that are
       .JPG or .BMP and add to existing records. The client software also
       allows for the export of images in either .JPG or .BMP files. All of
       these functions can be authorized or not authorized based on User ID
       authorization.

       Searches may be accomplished using NCIC standard demographic codes,
       from user maintained tables.

       The software will create photo line-ups with a specified amount of
       images. The Crime Capture System will retrieve and display the images
       of all subjects with characteristics that match, or substantially
       match, those of the line-up subject. The user will be able to select
       or reject from the images retrieved up to twenty, that together with
       the subject's constitute the line-up. The line-up will be random
       ordered, and may be saved for future retrieval. These photo line-ups
       are also printable.

       Portions of an image may be "roped" for enlargement for viewing
       purposes.

       The print function is available for any image with its associated
       demographic data.

       The search function includes very flexible ad hoc inquiries, including
       many Boolean logic functions, including AND, OR, GREATER THAN, LESS
       THAN, EQUAL TO, etc.

       Each agency will be able to search the database and obtain information
       about the total number of bookings by date, by officer ID, by charge
       code, etc.

       Any text fields entered into a booking record will be searchable,
       including any comment fields.

       Fields describing SMT data will be searchable.

       Images of SMT are printable, either color or black and white.

       The search software will process hyphenated and/or multiple last,
       first, and middle names correctly.

       The search software will use "soundex" to find similar named
       individuals.

       Investigative workstations will have the ability to scan photos into
       the system, import them, and link them with booking records. For
       example, crime scene photos can be imported into booking records, as
       well as weapons photos, vehicle photos, residence photos, year book
       photos, etc. This function may be turned off by the system
       administrator.

       FACE ID
       Face ID is a state-of-the-art facial recognition and retrieval program
       that helps officers positively identify both unknown suspects and
       criminals with multiple aliases. Suspect

EXHIBIT B - DBI CONTRACT OVERVIEW                                 JULY 6, 1999

      images that have been captured on a surveillance video, suspect
      composite or photograph can be searched against any digital database of
      faces. The search returns a group of images whose facial
      characteristics closely resemble that of the search photograph. This
      feature can also be used at the time of booking to immediately identify
      criminals with multiple aliases. Face ID saves the officer tremendous
      amounts of time when scanning through large databases. The ability to
      key in text data description in addition to the facial search makes
      searching large databases possible.

      Suspect ID/Registered Trademark/

           Suspect ID is the composite module of the C.R.I.M.E.S. software
      family. Using an online cognitive interview process, officers,
      witnesses and victims can accurately create full-color, photo-realistic
      suspect composites within minutes. The digital composites are
      constructed from catalogs of facial features. The catalogs are
      comprised of actual photographs, not hand-drawn sketches, so composites
      from Suspect ID look like people, not like pencil sketches. Suspect ID
      can interface directly with Face ID. Upon completion, a composite can
      be immediately searched against the Face ID database. This search
      returns a number of suspect photos from within the LA booking database.

      The Suspect ID module was designed specifically for use by law
      enforcement agencies. Even officers with little or no computer
      knowledge or artistic talent can complete a suspect composite simply by
      pointing and clicking with a mouse. Suspect ID is a standard PC-based
      software application that can be installed on a laptop computer and
      taken into the field, allowing officers to conduct interviews before
      the witnesses' and victims' memories fade. For rapid identification,
      officers can distribute completed composites within minutes via radio,
      fax or e-mail.

      PHASE 2

      Phase 2 will convert the installed Sybase version of CCS to the latest
      version of Oracle. Once in Oracle, the remaining interfaces shall be
      accomplished. ImageWare has made the decision to fast forward our
      Oracle solution in order to meet the requirements set forth by Los
      Angeles County. LA County is currently an Oracle house and it is
      logical that their requirements include an Oracle database.

      ImageWare does not intend to charge Los Angeles County with any costs
      associated with our development of the Oracle platform. Converting the
      installed system from Sybase to Oracle does, however, have costs
      associated. ImageWare engineers will design the new system so that the
      conversion process creates very little down time.

      The GUI interface throughout the network will not change and no
      additional training of users will be required. Face ID will also be
      converted to Oracle.

      PHASE 3 (NOT ACCEPTED BY LASO)

      The last phase is a simple, but large expansion of the investigative
      product. ImageWare will provide CCS Investigative software and Suspect
      ID to an additional 60 sites throughout the county. With all phases
      complete, Los Angeles County will have the ability to view and print
      records and lineups of every person booked in Los Angeles County within
      the DBI Tenprinter network.


      INTERFACES

      CCHRS & LARCIS
      ImageWare offers a single integration technique for both the CCHRS
      system and the LARCIS system. We are able to offer this due to the
      fact that all systems will be running a single common RDBMS, Oracle
      8.0. This will be accomplished by enabling a login to CCS and allowing
      access to a mutually agreed upon set of tables and stored procedures.
      (Open Architecture) This access will allow CCHRS or LARCIS to query our
      database and retrieve the directory reference to the photo stored on
      disk for a particular individual. All the particular parameters and
      query result capabilities will be agreed upon during final design
      discussions with the system architects of CCHRS, LARCIS CAL GANG and
      CAL PHOTO.

      It will be the responsibility of each of the integrated systems to
      properly read the photo from the CCS server, decompress the JPEG, and
      display the photo on the screen to the user. The CCS server data will
      be kept in sync with AJIS by the NIST data feed from the DBI store and
      forward integration. Any duplicate records from DBI will be
      synchronized with existing records causing an update to existing
      records not duplication of data. All records will be tied together
      between the systems with a common unique identifier such as a record
      number and each person will be given a unique identifier, such as a
      state ID number. These will be used to identify a unique record for an
      individual between all integrated systems as well as identify a
      person's record history.

      The interface will basically allow both the CCHRS and LARCIS
      sub-systems to display a photograph of the subject by selecting a
      defined number of data tables.

      CAL-PHOTO ID & CAL-GANG
      ImageWare offers a single solution for both of these interfaces as
      well, only duplicated for each. When a record is completed within CCS,
      the server will export a flat text file or a NIST package to the local
      CAL-ID or CAL-GANG Web Server. This flat file will contain demographic
      text data as well as the photo's location or URL. Once the State
      parses this information into its main query engine, the images will be
      searchable via the CAL-ID or CAL-GANG intra-net.

<PAGE>

EXHIBIT B - DBI CONTRACT OVERVIEW                                 JULY 6, 1999

      IWS will discuss with the State, the type and size of the server needed
      to accomplish the requirements for Cal-Photo ID. When the time comes,
      we would be pleased to provide a quote for that server and the
      maintenance thereof. The cost for feeding the server is outlined in the
      Cost Proposal. ImageWare will work with the State to isolate a means
      for maintaining the Cal-Photo ID software.

      WEB INVESTIGATIVE INTERFACE
      ImageWare is offering a site license to be used within the Los Angeles
      County and Orange County intra-net for a product that is currently
      under development. The site license will enable the EDMS database to be
      searched by a standard web browser within the local network. The basic
      concept of this product is to provide a Web Interface that enables
      standard web browser search engines to query the Mugshot database
      through a limited amount of text fields and descriptors. The fields
      that are to be searched have yet to be defined, however, it is expected
      that 5-7 fields will be appropriate. 6-pack lineups will also be a
      feature.

      IWS is willing to discuss the development of an additional Web Product
      capable of retrieving a single photo based on name and booking number
      queries.

       LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT ELECTRONIC DIGITAL MUSHOT
       SYSTEM

                                  SCOPE OF WORK

       This document identifies the product to be delivered and specifies
       work to be performed by the Contractor during the implementation of
       ImageWare's Crime Capture System and related development as well as
       outlines those tasks which are the responsibility of Los Angeles
       County Sheriff's Department.

       PROJECT OVERVIEW
       The heart of this project is a central mugshot server that must power
       investigative clients throughout the County and the State. The server
       is fully scaleable and capable of processing and distributing
       information to a large number of client sources. The software that
       will drive this solution is ImageWare's Crime Capture System (CCS).
       CCS runs on the Windows NT 4.0 platform and will utilize Oracle 8.0
       databases software as required by the County. CCS will either feed or
       be queried by a minimum of five different sub-systems including:
       CCHRS, LARCIS, CAL-PHOTO ID, CAL-GANG, and via secure Intra-net. The
       system proposed is a complete turn-key solution that meets current
       needs and provides many options for the future. The entire system is
       fully Year 2000 compliant and meets all State and Federal ANSI/NIST
       standards.

       The system components will connect to the existing network directly,
       with each agency or the county being responsible to provide LAN
       connections for the new equipment. The operating system for the
       central server will be Microsoft Windows NT 4.0. The protocol will be
       TCP/IP. All connections to either the network or additional devices
       will be industry standard connections.

       Data archive and backup shall be accomplished on-line.

       System security will make use of both operating system permissions as
       well as database software security. This will allow access to certain
       functions and data to be controlled by the system administrator. These
       privileges and permissions will be given and controlled by user login.
       There will be an administrative function available only to the system
       administrator, where these permissions and privileges are maintained.

COMPANY PROFILE & QUALIFICATIONS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ImageWare Software, Inc., a San Diego, California based company is a leader
and innovator in the emerging technology of PC-based digital imaging, with
its primary focus on law enforcement software. Our corporate offices are at
the following address. This same address is also used for sales, technical
services and billing.

ImageWare has, through its efforts, gained respect within the Law Enforcement
arena and is quickly being recognized as a leader in the handling of large
mugshot databases as well as the powerful investigative software that runs
them. We were recently awarded a contract by the State of Arizona and the
system is meeting all of its expectations. The Arizona Department of Public
Safety enjoys a powerful network of photo and data information, with
extremely limited down time. It seamlessly interfaces with several disparate
systems and provides a smooth and synchronized data flow throughout. Very
recently, in partnership with NEC and PRC/Litton, IWS was awarded the digital
imaging contract for Las Vegas Metro PD.

One year ago ImageWare acquired XImage Corporation, a San Jose, California
based company also specializing in law enforcement software. XImage
Corporation is a company strong in the installation and management of very
large booking installations. The company has developed its products  using
Sun SPARC servers and workstations on a UNIX operating system. Its flagship
installation is New York City Police Department as well as Henepin County MN
(Minneapolis), Indianapolis PD and Portland Police Bureau. The NYC system
spans 76 precincts in 5 boroughs, including 100 capture stations and
redundant central servers. XImage/ImageWare had a large customer support
staff with 24 hours a day, 7 days a week availability.

ImageWare and XImage combined to form a company that is strong, technically
proficient, and leading the way in the development of tools for the law
enforcement industry. The skills of one company compliment those of the
other. The strengths and experience of XImage will enable the new company to
bypass many pitfalls, during the introduction of new Windows based products
under the expertise of ImageWare.

On March 18, 1999, ImageWare will receive financial backing in the form of a
$10,000,000 funding from an international group of investors led by JP
Morgan. This backing combined with our large maintained customer base and
success in the placement of large mugshot databases ensures the highest
quality products and services for many years to come.

PROPOSAL                      PHOTO IMAGING SYSTEMS

CCS runs on the Microsoft Windows operating system, specifically Windows 95,
98 and Windows NT 4.0. We configure systems using all IBM components,
ensuring our customers of state-of-the-art architecture, durability,
reliability. By teaming with IBM as a business partner, ImageWare can and
does offer the highest quality PC products, systems software and customer
service available. PC platforms being used include multiple Pentium Pro
processing servers, redundant servers, Xeon processors and Pentium II capture
and investigative workstations. In many cases, current hardware can be
utilized and hardware may be purchased off existing County contracts.

Support is handled on a 24/7 basis with our support offices being in San
Diego. There is a one hour call back response time and on-site response times
can be negotiated. In some cases, on-site personnel can be hired. Servers and
workstation software can be maintained remotely using sophisticated IBM
Netfinity Management software. If a server goes down, it does not effect the
capture workstations. All capture stations have the ability to store data and
images locally until the server is back  on-line.

IWS core products are Crime Capture System (CCS), and Face ID-Registered
Trademark- (FID). CCS is a powerful flexible and easy to use digital booking,
identification and retrieval system. Face ID-Registered Trademark- is a
state-of-the-art facial recognition and retrieval program that is re-defining
what a mugshot database is capable of. Face ID-Registered Trademark-
integrates with both ImageWare's and XImage's bookings systems, giving the
company a very distinct, and unique product line.

IMAGEWARE HISTORY

Incorporated in 1987, ImageWare initially focused on the entertainment
industry.The company's patented imaging technology was first used in photo
imaging kiosks at theme parks and tourist attractions  in the U.S., Canada,
Mexico, Japan and the United Kingdom. The kiosks produced People
Postcards!-Registered Trademark- by superimposing customers' images onto
amusing or picturesque backgrounds.

At the 1992 COMDEX Show, ImageWare introduced its first retail product,
ImageWizard. At the show, the revolutionary image manipulation and processing
program was nominated one of the "Best New Software Programs" of the year.
ImageWizard was the first application to incorporate multiple image objects
for fast and easy image enhancement and editing. In early 1994, ImageWare
released a companion program to ImageWizard called MorphWizard-Registered
Trademark-. A powerful morphing application, MorphWizard allows users to
manipulate and force transformation between multiple images. Both ImageWizard
and MorphWizard sold domestically and in Japan through Canon Sales Co.

Concurrent with the release of MorphWizard ImageWare shifted its focus from
the entertainment and retail markets to the institutional enforcement arena.
The C.R.M.E.S.

PROPOSAL                         PHOTO IMAGING SYSTEM

(Crime Reduction, Image Management and Enhancement System), software suite
was unveiled in October 1994.

Since 1994, ImageWare has placed software in over 650 law enforcement
agencies around the country and internationally. Currently, there are over
100 departments using XImage or ImageWare mug photo systems, with more coming
on-line every day.

PRODUCTS

     C.R.I.M.E.S. is a modular family of affordable, easy-to-use software
applications that aid law enforcement with the criminal investigative
process. Currently there are five Windows-TM- based C.R.I.M.E.S. modules;
Suspect ID, Crime Lab, Vehicle ID, Face ID and the Crime Capture System. The
multiple module system is fully integrated so information entered into one
module is reflected in all others, thus eliminating the time and expense
required to interface programs designed by different software companies.

SUSPECT ID-Registered Trademark-

     Suspect ID is the composite module of the C.R.I.M.E.S. software family.
Using an online cognitive interview process, officers, witnesses and victims
can accurately create full-color, photo-realistic suspect composites within
minutes. The digital composites are constructed from catalog of facial
features. The catalogs are comprised of actual photographs, not hand-drawn
sketches, so composites from Suspect ID look like people, not like pencil
sketches. Suspect ID can interface directly with Face ID. Upon completion, a
composite can be immediately searched against the Face ID database. This
search returns a number of suspect photos from within the LA booking database.

     The Suspect ID module was designed specifically for use by law
enforcement agencies. Even officers with little or no computer knowledge or
artistic talent can complete a suspect composite simply by pointing and
clicking with a mouse. Suspect ID is a standard PC-based software application
that can be installed on a laptop computer and taken into the field, allowing
officers to conduct interviews before the witnesses' and victims' memories
fade. For rapid identification, officers can distribute completed composites
within minutes via radio, fax or e-mail.

CRIME LAB-Registered Trademark-

     The second module of the C.R.I.M.E.S. family, Crime Lab, is a
sophisticated image enhancement and editing program used to fulfill a host of
investigative imaging needs such as updating old photos, creating
non-prejudicial line-ups, removing distracting backgrounds and enhancing
surveillance videos. Crime Lab interfaces with each of the modules to provide
enhanced capability to each.

PROPOSAL                         PHOTO IMAGING SYSTEM

VEHICLE ID-TM-

     Vehicle ID is a revolutionary photo-based software program that helps
officers quickly identify and disseminate vehicle information for the purpose
of locating a stolen car or a vehicle involved in a crime. Vehicle ID's
comprehensive database of over 1,000 vehicles can be searched by features,
description, or VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). To ensure a more
accurate identification, vehicles matching the query description can be
viewed from front, rear, side or three quarter angles. The program also
includes a custom paint shop for depicting the exact color of the vehicle. A
color copy of the suspect vehicle can then be produced and immediately
broadcast, printed or faxed to officers in the field to quickly apprehend
suspected criminals.

     Information from NICB's (National Insurance Crime Bureau) VINassist-TM-
program has been incorporated into Vehicle ID, enabling officers to obtain
images of vehicles based on VIN translation codes. This feature helps
officers identify stolen vehicles in cases of switched VINs.

FACE ID-TM-

     Face ID is a state-of-the-art facial recognition and retrieval program
that helps officers positively identify both unknown suspects and criminals
with multiple aliases. Suspect images that have been captured on a
surveillance video, suspect composite or photograph can be searched against
any digital database of faces. This search returns a group of images whose
facial characteristics closely resemble that of the search photograph. This
feature can also be used at the time of booking to immediately identify
criminals with multiple aliases. Face ID saves the officer tremendous amounts
of time when scanning through large databases. This ability to key in text
data descriptors in addition to the facial search make searching large
databases possible.

CRIME CAPTURE SYSTEM-TM-

     Crime Capture System is a flexible, easy-to-use, and affordable digital
imaging solution for automated capture, storage and retrieval of booking
images and related information. The Crime Capture System utilizes
off-the-shelf hardware that complies with open industry standards and easily
integrates with an agency's records or AFIS system (Automated Fingerprint
Identification System). Utilizing client/server architecture, the Crime
Capture System can operate on an array of systems ranging from a stand alone
PC to a wide area network.

CONFIDENTIAL        LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT          03/22/99
PROPOSAL                     PHOTO IMAGING SYSTEM

OVERVIEW/PROJECT APPROACH

This proposal is in response to a request by the Identification Unit of the
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. It addresses and provides solutions
for many needs. Overall, it is a complete turn key solution that has been
designed to eliminate these needs. The proposal has no hidden costs and
leaves many options.

Because of the many requirements that must be satisfied, this section is
broken into several phases in addition to providing systems interfaces. These
phases flow in logical order and associated costs are paralleled in the Cost
Proposal (Exhibit A).

PROJECT OVERVIEW

The heart of this project is a central mugshot server that must power
investigative clients throughout the County and the State. The server is
fully scaleable and capable of processing and distributing information to a
large number of client sources. The software that will drive this solution is
Image Ware's Crime Capture System (CCS). CCS runs on the Windows NT 4.0
platform and will utilize Oracle 8.0 database software as required by the
County. CCS will either feed or be queried by a minimum of five different
sub-systems including: CCHRS LARCIS, CAL-PHOTO ID, CAL GANG, and via secure
Intra net. The system proposed is a complete turn-key solution that meets
current  needs and provides many options for the future. The entire system is
fully Year 2000 compliant and meets all State and Federal ANSI/NIST standards.

The system components will connect to the existing network directly, with
each agency or the county being responsible to provide LAN connections for
the new equipment. The operating system for the central server will be
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0. The protocol will be TCP/IP. All connections to
either the network or additional devices will be industry standard
connections.

Data archive and backup can be accomplished on-line.

System security will make use of both operating system permissions as well as
database software security. This will allow access to certain functions and
data to be controlled by the system administrator. These privileges and
permissions will be given and controlled by user login. There will be an
administrative function available only to the system administrator, where
these permissions and privileges are maintained.

PROPOSAL                     PHOTO IMAGING SYSTEM

Phase 1
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the initial phase, ImageWare will install an IBM Netfinity 7000MG mug
server that will eventually act in place of the current mugshot server in Los
Angeles County. IWS will convert the existing images and data (approx.
250,000) and populate the current version of CCS which runs on Windows NT 4.0
and Sybase 6.0 database software. The purpose for installing and converting
the existing images on Sybase before CCS is ported to Oracle is to satisfy the
IMMEDIATE needs for the County. Examples would be creating photo line-ups or
searching viewing and printing mugshots. In addition to converting the
existing database, we will also de-duplicate it. Because of certain
limitations to the existing photo database software, there are duplicate
records and photos of a good percentage of the entire database. A
de-duplication procedure that is agreed upon by both IWS and the County will
eliminate unwanted photos and, or records.

While the conversion is taking place, IWS will complete the interface with
the DBI store and forward. The CCS server will identify and read standard
NIST type 1, 2 and Type 10 data packages from the existing DBI store and
forward server. Completion of this interface will effectively replace the
existing DBI Photo RAID. The existing images will have been converted and all
new records will be delivered directly from the DBI Telprinters to the CCS
database.

Once the NIST packages populate the CCS database, the records and photos can
be searched by CCS Investigative software. This software will be responsible
for satisfying the County's immediate investigative needs. Phase 1 includes
20 copies of CCS Investigative software and 20 copies of Suspect ID composite
software.

Face ID-Registered Trademark- facial recognition software is also being
offered with this proposal, at no charge! We are offering to convert the
existing images into Face ID as well as provide software that enrolls all new
captured images into Face ID. Basically, all images that populate the CCS
database will also be enrolled into Face ID.

No Face ID client software is being offered in this proposal. However, the
city of Lakewood, CA has already purchased Face ID client software and has
shown great interest in connecting their client with this proposed FACE ID
database. Currently, Lakewood is searching a very limited subset of the
current LA County database and has had great success. With 6 times the number
of images to search, Lakewood expects 6 times the success rate.

Several other LA County law enforcement agencies have shown interest in
purchasing Face ID client software as well. There is an issue as to how will
these Face ID clients effect the load on the CCS server. Will it slow down?
The answer is no! We are going to isolate just one of the four processors in
the Netfinity server for Face ID crunching. When the extracted facial data
from the suspect mugshots is being searched by a Face ID client only one
server processor will be used. The remaining processors are more than enough
to handle all the queries and changes to the CCS database.

                                    17

CONFIDENTIAL        LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT          03/22/99
PROPOSAL                     PHOTO IMAGING SYSTEM

When the Face ID clients grow too large in number or when the database gets
too large for one processor to sort in a desirable amount of time, then
ImageWare will require new Face ID client customers to add "swarm" machines
to the server solution. "Swarm" machines are basically PC boxes that contain
at least one standard Pentium II or greater processor and a certain amount of
RAM. They are then configured to process data being searched by Face ID
clients. "Swarm" machines distribute the Face ID processing workload. The
more "swarm" machines added to the system, the more the workload is
distributed. Search times will go down as clients and "swarms" are added.

Server Specifications
The proposed server is an IBM Netfinity 7000 M10 Server. The image server
will be running Windows NT 4.0 that provides a second level of system
security and stability. Initially, the server will be running the current
Sybase version of CCS. Phase 2 converts this database to Oracle.

The database is all open architecture, ODBC compliant, allowing for case of
data sharing with other ODBC compliant systems. The server is capable of
storing the mug photo's and text data in Los Angeles County booking system
for a minimum of five years.

The server is a high performance 400 MHz Quad XEON Processor system. It has
RAID V hot swap drive array and Mirrored OS. It is sized with today's
performance and tomorrow's growth in mind. Installing a RAID V system
provides a very high fault tolerant data storage system while not degrading
performance and allows the storage of business-critical data with confidence.

A UPS will protect the system from power fluctuations and momentary outages.
The system will have a redundant power supply. The server will be equipped
with a modem and remote diagnostic software, allowing for quicker response
and problem resolution. The system also includes a DLT tape drive for
back-ups and a CD ROM Drive. The server will utilize the existing network
which utilizes the TCP/IP protocol.

the archive function and the assignment of names and passwords. The 4 User
Defined fields are also edited from here.

IBM Netfinity Management software will be used to remotely monitor and
maintain the CCS server.

The central server will not execute any client applications meaning all
searches, viewing, and printing or data from the mugshot database must be
accomplished via either CCS investigative station or one of the sub-system
interfaces.

PROPOSAL                     PHOTO IMAGING SYSTEM

CCS INVESTIGATIVE SOFTWARE

CCS investigative workstation software includes the client software
necessary to search the database based on demographic information, create
photo line-ups, view photo mug books and print. Any printer that includes a
Window NT driver may be utilized. The software can connect with and make use
of peripherals with TWAIN drivers (such as scanners), and have the ability to
import images from files that are JPG or BMP and add to existing records.
The client software also allows for the export of images in either JPG or BMP
files. All of these functions can be authorized or not authorized based on
User ID authorization.

Searches may be accomplished using NCIC standard demographic codes, from user
maintained tables.

The software will create photo line-ups with a specified amount of images. The
Crime Capture System will retrieve and display the images of all subjects
with characteristics that match, or substantially match, those of the line-up
subject. The user will be able to select or reject from the images retrieved
up to twenty, that together with the subject's constitute the line up. The
line-up will be random ordered, and may be saved for future retrieval. These
photo line-ups are also printable.

     Portions of an image may be 'roped' for enlargement for viewing purposes.

     The print function is available for any image with its associated
demographic data.

     The search function includes very flexible ad hoc inquiries, including
many boolean logic functions, including AND, OR, GREATER THAN, LESS THAN,
EQUAL TO, etc.

     Each agency will be able to search the database and obtain information
about the total number of bookings by date, by officer ID, by charge code,
etc.

     Any text fields entered into a booking record will be searchable,
including any comment fields.

     Fields describing SMT data will be searchable.

     Images of SMT are printable, either color or black and white.

     The search software will process hyphenated and/or multiple last, first,
and middle names correctly.

     The search software will use 'soundex' to find similar named individuals.

     Investigative workstations will have the ability to scan photos into the
system, import them, and link them with booking records. For example, crime
scene photos can be imported

into booking records, as well as weapons photos, vehicle photos, residence
photos, year book photos, etc. This function may be turned off by the system
administrator.

FACE ID
Face ID is a state-of-the-art facial recognition and retrieval program that
helps officers positively identify both unknown suspects and criminals with
multiple aliases. Suspect images that have been captured on a surveillance
video, suspect composite or photograph can be searched against any digital
database of faces. The search returns a group of images whose facial
characteristics closely resemble that of the search photograph. This feature
can also be used at the time of booking to immediately identify criminals with
multiple aliases. Face ID saves the officer tremendous amounts of time when
scanning through large databases. The ability to key in text data descriptors
in addition to the facial search makes searching large databases possible.

SUSPECT ID-Registered Trademark-
     Suspect ID is the composite module of the C.R.I.M.E.S. software family.
Using an online cognitive interview process, officers, witnesses and victims
can accurately create full-color, photo-realistic suspect composites within
minutes. The digital composites are constructed from catalogs of facial
features. The catalogs are comprised of actual photographs, not hand-drawn
sketches, so composites from Suspect ID look like people, not like pencil
sketches. Suspect ID can interface directly with Face ID. Upon completion, a
composite can be immediately searched against the Face ID database. This
search returns a number of suspect photos from within the LA booking database.

The Suspect ID module was designed specifically for use by law enforcement
agencies. Even officers with little or no computer knowledge or artistic
talent can complete a suspect composite simply by pointing and clicking with
a mouse. Suspect ID is a standard PC-based software application that can be
installed on a laptop computer and taken into the field, allowing officers to
conduct interviews before the witnesses' and victims' memories fade. For
rapid identification, officers can distribute completed composites within
minutes via radio, fax or e-mail.


PHASE 2
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phase 2 will convert the installed Sybase version of CCS to the latest
version of Oracle. Once in Oracle, the remaining interfaces can be
accomplished. ImageWare has made the decision to fast forward our Oracle
solution in order to meet the requirements set forth by Los Angels County. LA
County is currently an Oracle house and it is logical that their requirements
include an Oracle database.

ImageWare does not intend to charge Los Angeles County with any costs
associated with our development of the Oracle platform. Converting the
installed system from Sybase to Oracle

PROPOSAL                     PHOTO IMAGING SYSTEM

does, however, have costs associated. ImageWare engineers will design the new
system so that the conversion process creates very little down time.

The GUI interface throughout the network will not change and no additional
training of users will be required. Face ID will also be converted to Oracle.

PHASE 3
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The last phase is a simple, but large expansion of the investigative product
ImageWare will provide CCS Investigative software and Suspect ID to an
additional 60 sites throughout the county. With all phases complete, Los
Angeles County will have the ability to view and print records and lineups of
every person booked in Los Angeles County within the DBI Tenprinter network.

INTERFACES
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CCHRS & LARCIS
ImageWare offers a single integration technique for both the CCHRS system and
the LARCIS system. We are able to offer this due to the fact that all systems
will be running a single common RDBMS, Oracle 8.0. This will be accomplished
by enabling a login to CCS and allowing access to a mutually agreed upon set
of tables and stored procedures. (Open Architecture) This access will allow
CCHRS or LARSIS to query our database and retrieve the directory reference to
the photo stored on disk for a particular individual. All the particular
parameters and query result capabilities will be agreed upon during final
design discussions with the system architects of CCHRS and LARSIS. It will be
the responsibility of each of the integrated systems to properly read the
photo from the CCS server, decompress the JPEG, and display the photo on the
screen to the user. The CCS server data will be kept in sync with AJIS by the
NIST data feed from the DBI store and forward integration. Any duplicate
records from DBI will be synchronized with existing records causing an update
to existing records not duplication of data. All records will be tied
together between the systems with a common unique identifier such as a record
number and each person will be given a unique identifier, such as a state ID
number. These will be used to identify a unique record for an individual
between all integrated systems as well as identify a person's record history.

The interface will basically allow both the CCHRS and LARCIS sub-systems to
display a photograph of the subject by selecting a defined number of data
tables.

CAL-PHOTO ID & CAL-GANG
ImageWare offers a single solution for both of these interfaces as well, only
duplicated for each. When a record is completed within CCS, the server will
export either a flat text file or a NIST package to the local CAL-ID or
CAL-GANG Web Server. This flat file will contain demographic text data as
well as the photo's location or URL. Once the State parses this information
onto its main query engine, the images will be searchable via CAL-ID or
CAL-GANG intra-net.

At this point in time, ImageWare is not proposing to install or maintain the
local Web Server(s) for these applications. When the final design is approved
and the web server is identified, IWS will discuss maintenance of this server.

WEB INVESTIGATIVE INTERFACE
ImageWare is offering a site license to be used within the Los Angeles County
intra-net for a product that is currently under development. The site license
will enable the LA County CCS photo database to be searched by a standard web
browser within the local network. The basic concept of this product is to
provide a Web Interface that enables standard web browser search engines to
query the CCS database though a limited amount of text fields and
descriptors. The fields that are to be searched have yet to be defined,
however, it is expected that 5-7 fields will be appropriate.

IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE

A Project Manager will be named by ImageWare Software, Inc., to oversee and
manage the planning, monitoring, reporting, and acceptance of the system
outlined in the proposal if ImageWare is the successful vendor. This person's
resume will be supplied during contract negotiations. It is expected that the
LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE will also name a Project Coordinator who
will work with the IWS Project Manager, who will be responsible for all tasks
outlined as COUNTY responsibility on the task list.


APPROACH TO PROJECT

ImageWare has a well defined, disciplined approach to program management
which includes:

     -  Attention to customer satisfaction
     -  Regular communications with customer via weekly status meetings,
        monthly project status reports, and quarterly reviews
     -  Regularly scheduled status meetings with the project staff

ImageWare will avoid and mitigate risks by reviewing, prioritizing, and
monitoring key project risks throughout the project life cycle. Identified
project risks will be recorded and tracked to resolution. Identification of
risks and potential mitigation plans will be reviewed with the project staff
monthly, documented in the project reports, and presented to the LOS ANGELES
COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE's Project Coordinator during the project reviews. By
identifying risks early before they have impacted the project, the actual
impact to the project can be decreased, if not totally eliminated. An
inescapable fact of project management is that there are always risks. The
key to ensuring a successful project is to manage them. This means the
following must be done early, before the risk actually impacts the project:

     -  Identify risks (technical, schedule, and cost)
     -  Prioritize and quantify risks
     -  Assign responsibility
     -  Mitigate (determine mitigation action, responsible person, due date)
     -  Track Progress

ImageWare Software, Inc. has proven its ability to successfully complete
projects of the size and magnitude as the Los Angeles County system. IWS has
installed investigative software in more than 650 police departments and
digital photo software in more than 100 departments throughout the world. The
needs of Los Angeles County are similar to those of many of our customers,
but not exact. Each individual agency varies in their requirements and the
following customers are just a few examples of how we met those needs.

ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY

Description of Installed System and Its Features:
Central Server is IBM Netfinity server, dual host cluster, with automatic
fail-over in case of one system failure. Shared disk array with RAID level 5
implemented, 15 county intake facilities, with both capture and investigative
Crime Capture System workstations, 2 additional sites at county court
facilities. Features include an interface with the Identix livescan device,
taking all demographic data, creating the record and populating the data
fields, making the image capture portion the only step required by the
operator. All information and images are immediately available for all other
investigative workstations on the network. Arizona DPS has also recently
issued a purchase order for the addition of Face ID-Trademark- to be added to
the central server. Each county can then purchase the client software and
conduct facial recognition searches using images or composites produced by
Suspect ID-Trademark-. Crime Lab-Trademark-was also included in each
investigative workstation.

Fact Sheet
The State of Arizona in an effort to consolidate images and booking
information, has contracted with ImageWare Software, Inc. to install a
statewide digital mugshot repository called Mug Photo Interface (MPI). IN
those locations that are part of the system, the booking process begins at
the Identix livescan station where an operator captures the suspect's
fingerprints and enters required demographic and biographical information.
Once the information is entered into the livescan system, the data
automatically transfers to the MPI system via a common linking number. At the
MPI capture station, additional mandatory information is recorded, and
digital images of the suspect are taken. Upon completion of a record, the
information is immediately transmitted via the AZAFIS network to a central
repository housed at the Department of Public Safety. At this point, the data
is readily available for searching purposes by any agency in the state which
has access to the database.

An ImageWare supplied investigative station is used to perform several
functions including quick and advanced searches for querying the database,
mugbook searches and views for

witness identification of a suspect, line-ups, and in the near future, facial
recognition which is used to identify unknown suspects and criminals.

Arizona MPI Technical Break Down

Initial Number of Capture Stations:              17
Initial Number of Investigative Stations:        17
Approximate Number of Bookings Per Year:         350,000

Hardware
Central Site: 2 IBM Netfinity Servers running in a clustered environment and
sharing a RAID level 5 array of 82 GB for database storage. Each server has 4
Pentium Pro Processors, 1 GB of RAM memory and 13 GB of internal system disk
space. The system drives are mirrored. If the active server fails to reset a
heartbeat, the failover takes place automatically, and the drive array fails
over to the control of the now active server. There is dial-in capability for
diagnostic purposes. The operating system is Windows NT Server 4.0 Enterprise
Edition with Microsoft Cluster Server.

Capture & Investigative Stations: Each Investigative Station is a IBM 300XL
PC with 64MB RAM and 6.1 GB of hard disk storage. The capture camera is a
Pulnix TMC-73M with a Computar zoom lens. The camera and lens are mounted on a
Hitachi pan and tilt device. The capture card is an Integral Technology
MV-Pro. The camera is mounted on it's side to accommodate the NIST Best
Practice Recommendations and proprietary software does a rotation of the
Video live feed before it is displayed by the graphics card. Printing and
scanning take place on an Epson Stylus 800 printer and an Epson 636
Expressions scanner (SCSI connection). The operating system is Windows NT
Workstation 4.0. Each capture and investigative station is connected to the
central servers via a wide area network utilizing Ethernet and TCP/IP
protocol. Each station runs client software that connects to the central
server's database.

      IMAGEWARE'S CRIME CAPTURE SYSTEM-TM- TO HELP ARIZONA LAW ENFORCEMENT
                        AGENCIES APPREHEND CRIMINALS.

     San Diego, California - January 15, 1998. After an extensive evaluation
process, the State of Arizona announced Wednesday that they had awarded the
Arizona Statewide Digital Mug Photo Interface Contract to ImageWare Software,
Inc. The contract is expected to exceed one million dollars and is the first
contract of its kind to be awarded for a statewide mugshot system. "We are
very pleased to provide Arizona law enforcement with a complete solution for
their mug photo needs," says Jim Miller, President and CEO of ImageWare
Software, Inc. "We feel the Crime Capture System will provide a quantum leap
forward for the State."

     Under the terms of the contract, the State of Arizona will utilize
ImageWare's Crime Capture System (CCS), a state-of-the-art digital booking,
identification and retrieval program. The main CCS database will be housed at
the Arizona Department of Public Safety. Seventeen sites will be capable of
capturing mugshots, SMT (scars, marks, and tattoos) photos, and descriptive
data for each suspect they arrest. Each remote site will also receive an
investigative workstation capable of searching and viewing the mugshot
database and creating photo line-ups. Once information is entered into the
remote database, the central repository is immediately updated allowing all
agencies access to the most recent information. Officers and Detectives will
no longer have to spend hundreds of hours searching through file cabinets of
photographs to identify a suspect or generate a photo line up, instead they
will use CCS's central repository and systematically search the digital
database of images for similarities between suspects, thus speeding up case
processing. The new CCS system will also interface directly with the existing
Arizona Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AZAFIS) network.

     The State of Arizona and ImageWare have agreed to an aggressive
implementation schedule which will have the system fully operational by June
1998. Once the first phase is complete, there are plans to move forward with
the implementation of additional C.R.I.M.E.S-TM- modules including, Suspect
ID-Registered Trademark- (a composite program), Crime Lab-Registered
Trademark- (an image enhancement and edit program), Vehicle ID-TM- (a vehicle
identification program), and what Ben Armstrong, the Lead Business Analyst
with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office considers, "one of the most
promising law enforcement tools," Face ID-TM- (a facial recognition program).
All of these modules combined will create a fully integrated law enforcement
solution for the State of Arizona.

     San Diego-based ImageWare Software, Inc. is a leader and innovator in
PC-based digital imaging, with its primary focus on law enforcement software.
Through its growing family of C.R.I.M.E.S. software modules, ImageWare is
effectively assisting in the resolution of crime worldwide. Currently, the
five C.R.I.M.E.S modules are being used by more than 500 law enforcement
agencies worldwide. ImageWare Software, Inc. is privately held.

                            THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC


              POLICE SING PRAISES OF NEW STATEWIDE MUG SHOT SYSTEM
                   Published on Saturday, September 12, 1998



Byline: By Judi Villa, The Arizona Republic

In seconds, a suspect's booking mug can be seen by law enforcement agencies
throughout the state. A few computer keystrokes, and a detective can have
more pictures than he'll ever need for a photographic lineup. And if there is
no suspect, that same detective can type in a physical description and get a
list of potential bad guys in no time.

Welcome to the Mug Photo Interface, a subsystem of the Arizona Automated
Fingerprint Identification System. MPI uses electronic imaging to capture mug
shot photos and transmit them immediately to a statewide image database
operated by the state Department of Public Safety. "It is going to
revolutionize (police work) just like fingerprints did," said Clyde Tess, a
crime lab supervisor with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. "It'll solve
cases faster; It'll help in identifying suspects faster. "If a suspect is
entered into the database in Phoenix then goes down to Tucson and commits a
crime, the victim can identify the suspect the same day. Before an agency
would have to send a photo or fax it. Faxes aren't always that good, and the
mail takes a day or two. This is instant."

The MPI system went online Thursday in 10 counties. The first booking mug was
entered by the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office in Nogales. "It's pretty
nice," said Ramon Villela, a detention officer in Nogales. "It's going to make
our jobs easier and faster and the detectives are going to be able to do
lineups faster."

Arizona's program, funded by a grant from the Arizona Criminal Justice
Enhancement Fund, will be one of the most progressive in the county,
officials say. Although some cities, including San Diego and Boston, have
limited imaging databases, only Arkansas has a statewide system, and that one
collects information from only six sites. Seven more sites including police
departments in Mesa, Tempe, Phoenix, Scottsdale and Glendale, will be added
to MPI by next summer. And by the end of this year, five sheriff's
departments that already have their own mug photo systems will be linked to
the statewide system. A few agencies, like the Chandler Police Department,
have purchased their own equipment to boot into the system.

"Here's a great thing," said Mark Hatcher, an identification supervisor for
the Mesa Police Department and chairman of the MPI Task Force. The task
force, a grass roots effort with members from five police agencies in Arizona
has been working for two years to implement

the technology. "This opens up communication from Yuma County to Navajo
County." Hatcher said, "Geographically, they're at different ends of the
state, but they can do a search just like they were here at DPS."

The system standardizes the way mug shots are taken and stored, sets up a
"major clearinghouse" for all photos and allows investigators anywhere in the
state to search for, retrieve and print out mugs and suspect information from
virtually anywhere in the state. It also can be used to create photo lineups
and books of mug shots for victims to look through. "Say a suspect does a
robbery with a mask, and he's got a tattoo on his arm," Villela said.
"Detectives can take that picture of that tattoo and scan it into the system,
and it'll give you everybody that has that tattoo." The system also is
capable of tracking gang affiliations, weapons and registered sex offenders.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CITY OF LAKEWOOD

ImageWare Software has great experience in the area of composite creation and
the identification of suspects using those composites. The most recent and
important news involves the facial recognition software, Face ID. This
software was created using algorithms developed from MIT research, which
ImageWare has the exclusive right to offer to the law enforcement industry.
The software describes a portion of the face of an individual mathematically,
from the eyebrows to the lips. This represents the majority of facial
features used to differentiate individuals and discounts such things as hair
length and style, eyeglasses, hats, and other adornments.

Face ID is presently installed at the Lakewood substation of the Los Angeles
Sheriff's Department, and was recently used to capture a carjacking suspect.
The victim gave a very accurate description to the Sheriff's Department, and
a composite was created using ImageWare's Suspect ID. This composite was used
to then search their mugshot database using Face ID. The returned search
results contained a suspect that the victim identified from a lineup. This
search took approximately 30 seconds to perform, and caused the
identification and apprehension of the suspect, and subsequently the District
Attorney's office has filed charges against the suspect. The press release of
this incident follows along with a view of the composite and actual photo of
the suspect.

            Los Angeles Sheriff's Department Identifies Suspect
                  With New Nigh-tech Crime Fighting Software

         DETECTIVES UTILIZE FACE ID-TM- FACIAL RECOGNITION SOFTWARE
                 TO ARREST CAR-JACKING AND BATTERY SUSPECT.

San Diego, California - November 3, 1997 - Just three days after installation
of their newest crime fighting weapon, detectives with the Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Department arrested a car jacking and battery suspect "that would
never had been identified without Face ID-TM- facial recognition software",
according to Sergeant Bill Conley of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Office. With
no leads, frustrated detectives had given up on the case weeks prior and
considered it dead until the installation of Face ID. Using a composite of
the suspect, detectives employed the facial recognition program to search
their digital mugshot database for possible matches. Within seconds the
automated search results displayed photos in rank order that were similar to
those of the composite. Detectives investigated the matches, created a
photo-line-up and two witnesses positively identified Eduardo Ochoa as the
suspect. Ochoa was arrested on October 30, 1997 and is being held in lieu of
$125,000 bail. Sergeant Conley

was amazed and commented, "Face ID is one of the most innovative
breakthroughs in law enforcement technology."

Face ID, one of the modules of the C.R.I.M.E.S.-Registered Trademark- suite
of integrated law enforcement programs developed by ImageWare Software, Inc.,
is a state-of-the-art facial recognition and retrieval program. Now,
investigators no longer have to spend hundreds of hours trying to identify a
suspect. Detectives can take a suspect composite created in ImageWare's
Suspect ID-TM- program, and seamlessly export it to Face ID, which in turn
will systematically search any digital database of booking images to identify
possible suspects. Similarly, a suspect's image caught on a bank or

             Los Angeles Sheriff's Department Identifies Suspect
                 With New High-tech Crime Fighting Software

San Diego, California - November 3, 1997 - Just three days after installation
of ImageWare's Face ID-TM-, the program proved itself to be the most effective
high-tech crime fighting software available. Using a composite of a suspect,
detectives employed Face ID to conduct an automated comparison search and
produced a number of photos which closely resembled the suspect in a
carjacking and battery case. Both the victim and witness positively
identified the suspect who was ranked highest in the comparison search.

The suspect would never had been
identified without FACE ID face
recognition software.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT

IWS has included financial statements from 1996, 1997 and through November of
1998. When reviewing the attached financials for November 30, 1998 several
issues should be noted. On the Consolidating Income Statement included in the
11 months, results are approximately $1 million of one time costs related to
the acquisition and integration of XImage operations into ImageWare. When
reviewing the 11/30/98 Balance Sheet, the fact is that ImageWare is (as of
3/15/99) less than thirty days away from funding a $10,000,000 equity from a
group of institutional investors led by J. P. Morgan. A summarized pro-forma
balance sheet is provided below which shows the 11/30/98 balance sheet
assuming the equity investment and the planned immediate use of funds for
debt and liabilities had already taken place.

PROPOSAL                         PHOTO IMAGING SYSTEM

EXHIBIT B  - Maintenance & Warranties
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Product and Customer Support
IWS will provide LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT with diagnostic
software and manuals necessary to operate and maintain the system, including
schematics diagnostic and maintenance manuals as provided by the manufacture.
During the Warranty period IWS will support the System without any cost to
the County.  Also during the period IWS agrees to offer Customer Support for
an additional fee specified in Exhibit A, or at a cost per incident according
to the time and Materials Schedule.  For the purpose of this Agreement
Customer Support is defined as all information calls related to operation of
the System and calls based upon user error.  After the warranty period, IWS
agrees to offer maintenance, customer and product support for the System for
at least five years after installation subject to LOS ANGELES COUNTY
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT entering into an IWS Maintenance Agreement during the
five years. IWS will provide a copy of its current Maintenance Agreement to
LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT  and requires LOS ANGELES COUNTY
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT to pay an additional fee. IWS reserves the right to
modify the terms and fees of its standard Maintenance Agreement at any time.

Hardware Warranties
All hardware that IWS supplies carries a full 1 Year warranty. IWS supports
only the hardware that it installs.  Support for other systems not purchased
through Image Ware can be negotiated.

Hardware Maintenance
Maintenance for the system hardware will be 7 days per week, 24 hours per day
with all agencies in LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE having just one toll
free number to call for service. Initial calls will be received by the IWS
Help Desk. If no one is available, a call back will be made within 1 hour.
Within a agreed upon period of time a hardware technician will be on-site to
troubleshoot and correct the problem.

If any installation within any agency will require access to restricted area
by IWS employees, it is expected that information will be given to Image Ware
during contract negotiations.  ImagWare will make any and all information
available to the LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE for each employee who
must have access to the restricted area.

CONFIDENTIAL         LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT           03/22/99
PROPOSAL                      PHOTO IMAGING SYSTEM

The equipment and hardware supplied as part of this proposal will be fully
guaranteed for a minimum period of 12 months. All prices quoted as part of
this proposal are guaranteed for a period of 12 months.

The central server comes complete with dial-in modem, and the IBM Netfinity
Manager software and clients installed on each supplied workstation. This
will enable the customer service rep to access, and actually "take over"
workstations when necessary to diagnose and repair any problems.

Software support first level is via toll free number to phone support. This
customer service rep has the ability to escalate the problem up to level 2
support, which is an R&D engineer. If that person requires an on-site rep, one
will be dispatched. We also include IBM hardware support with each IBM
system. Sometimes, the ImageWare programmer just needs a set of hands and
eyes on-site, and an IBM technician will be dispatched. Dial in access is
available to both levels 1 and 2, and using Netfinity Manager, many problems
can be diagnosed and resolved by "taking over" the workstation that is
having problems, seeing the error happen, and resolving the situation
immediately via remote connection.



SOFTWARE WARRANTIES
All software has a one year warranty starting on the day of system acceptance


SOURCE CODE
The latest versions of all CRIMES modules, including CCS will be put into an
escrow account. The specifics of this escrow agreement will be outlined at
contract signing.


SOFTWARE ON-GOING MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT
Maintenance for the system software will be 7 days per week, 24 hours per
day, with all agencies in LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE having just one
toll-free number to call for service. ImageWare will meet the response times
as outlined by the County. Initial calls will be received by the IWS Help
Desk. If no one is available, a call back will be made within 1 hour. On-site
response times will be negotiated at contract signing. In previous contracts,
response times as fast as 4 hours have been accepted. Within this 4 hour
period, a hardware technician is on-site to trouble-shoot and correct the
problem.

If any installation within any agency will require access to restricted areas
by IWS employees it is expected that information will be given to ImageWare
during contract negotiations. ImageWare will make any and all information
available to the LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE for each employee who
must have access to the restricted areas.

EXHIBIT C - TRAINING


Training is purchased in increments.  One increment is defined as one day of
on-site training with a maximum class size of 15. On-site training outlines
may vary. Example: Training system administrators on server functions will be
different than being trained on investigative software. A defined number of
training increments for this proposal can be found in the Cost Proposal
(Exhibit A). Follow-up training is available, either on-site or at the IWS
facilities.

Training time is kept to a minimum with the Crime Capture System, as it is so
easy to use.

Training will be accomplished at each agency location, using their system
equipment. All handout materials and reference materials will be furnished.
After the training session, users have lab time for hands-on familiarization.
 It is recommended that at least one training session be video taped and
duplicated for each agency for on-going training purposes.

The length of each class is outlined below.

PART II

Answers to questions about original proposal, posed by Sgt. Paul Alexander in
an e-mail dated 3/19/99.

Q. In your bid you made clear that facial recognition was not included. Would
   you please give us the cost of Face ID as a single unit and the cost in
   groups (like 10, 50, 100 licenses) etc.

R. THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL INCLUDED FACIAL RECOGNITION INCLUDED FACIAL
   RECOGNITION SERVER SOFTWARE AS WELL AS THE ENROLLMENT OF ALL IMAGES INTO
   FACIAL RECOGNITION AT NO ADDITIONAL COST. IMAGEWARE IS NOW OFFERING AN
   ADDITIONAL 4 COPIES OF FACE ID CLIENT SOFTWARE AT NO COST. THE TOTAL VALUE
   OF THIS SOFTWARE AND SERVICES IS MORE THAN $127,000, AND IS BEING OFFERED TO
   DBI AND THE COUNTRY IN THIS PROPOSAL AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE.

       ADDITIONAL FACE ID CLIENT COSTS:

            1-10 COPIES      $15,000 EACH
            10-50 COPIES     $12,500 EACH
            50-100 COPIES    $9,000 EACH
            OVER 100         $6,000 EACH

Q. There is what appears to be an addition error in your Phase I Software
   which reads $118,000 ($138,000 by our calculation)

R. THERE IS AN ERROR IN THE ORIGINAL COST PROPOSAL. THE CHANGE HAS BEEN MADE
   AND REFLECTED IN THE NEW COST PROPOSAL (PART V)

Q. Your bid says that we are getting some Suspect ID composite software. The
   description of same says that the composite can be searched against the
   photo database. Is that presuming that you have the facial recognition
   software?

R. YES, IT IS PRESUMING THAT THE COUNTY HAS FACE ID CLIENT SOFTWARE. IWS IS
   NOW INCLUDING 4 COPIES OF FACE ID CLIENT SOFTWARE TO THE COUNTY. AS
   MENTIONED IN THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL, THE CITY OF LAKEWOOD ALREADY HAS FACE
   ID CLIENT SOFTWARE AND COULD ALSO HAVE THIS CAPABILITY.

Q. In your bid, you talk about Cal-Photo ID and Cal-Gang and say that you are
   not proposing to install or maintain the local web servers for these
   applications but will discuss it later. But the CAL-Photo ID server is an
   integral portion of this project and we are relying on the successful
   vendor to tell us what server we should get from DOJ (DOJ has offered to
   furnish it) and to be prepared to maintain it. We need to know the
   approximate costs of feeding and caring for this server.

R. IMAGEWARE WILL DISCUSS WITH THE STATE, THE TYPE AND SIZE OF THE SERVER
   NEEDED TO ACCOMPLISH THE REQUIREMENTS FOR CAL-PHOTO ID. WHEN THE TIME
   COMES, WE WOULD BE PLEASED TO PROVIDE A QUOTE FOR THAT SERVER AND THE
   MAINTENANCE THEREOF. THE COST FOR FEEDING THE SERVER IS OUTLINED IN THE COST
   PROPOSAL. IMAGEWARE WILL WORK WITH THE STATE TO ISOLATE A MEANS FOR
   MAINTAINING THE CAL-PHOTO ID SOFTWARE.

Q. In your phase 2 breakdown, you specify $23,500 for Sybase to Oracle and in
   phase 1 you specify $46,500 to convert the existing database. Could you
   more fully explain how these functions are distinct from one another.

<PAGE>

   R. PHASE 1 SERVICES INCLUDE CONVERSION OF THE EXISTING DATABASE,
DE-DUPLICATION OF THE DATABASE AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT TOTALING $46,500.
CONVERSION MEANS THE CONVERSION OF IMAGES AND DATA FROM THE DBI FORMAT TO CCS
FORMAT. DE-DUPLICATION IS THE PROCESS AND TIME IT WILL TAKE TO RID THE NEW
DATABASE OF DUPLICATE IMAGES AND TEST IMAGES.

      PHASE 2 SERVICES INCLUDE THE CONVERSION OF DATA FROM SYBASE TO ORACLE
AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT TOTALING $23,500. THIS CONVERSION IS THE TIME AND
EFFORT IT WILL TAKE TO CONVERT THE SYSTEM FORM SYBASE TO ORACLE. IT HAS
NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CONVERSION OF IMAGES OR RECORDS. IT IS A PLATFORM
CONVERSION. IN NO WAY IS THIS COST ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF ORACLE,
IT IS SIMPLY THE COST TO CONVERT ONE SYSTEM PLATFORM TO ANOTHER. PLEASE NOTE
THAT THE COST FOR THIS HAS BEEN LOWERED FROM $23,500 TO $19,000 IN THE NEW
COST PROPOSAL.

PART III

Point by point answers to statement of work questions written by Sgt. Paul
Alexander and received by IWS on 3/19/99. Any questions that have been
previously answered will be responded to with the corresponding page # of
the original proposal.

Image Server(s)

1.1       To be brought into consistency with the LASD Sheriff's Data
          Network (SDN)

          IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH BY THE LASD, IWS IS
          CONVERTING CCS FROM SYBASE TO ORACLE. IWS HAS BEEN IN DISCUSSIONS
          WITH LASD FOR MORE THAN TWO YEARS IN PREPARATION FOR THIS PROJECT.
          THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO OUTLINE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF
          HOW IWS INTENDS TO SUPPORT THE NEEDS OF LASD WELL INTO THE NEXT
          CENTURY. THE CAPABILITIES OUTLINED IN THE PROPOSAL WILL ASSIST IN
          MAKING LASD THE PREMIER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY IN THE US.

1.1.1     Y2K Compliant (Must)

          THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET.

1.1.1     Meets all State/Federal ANSI/NIST standards (Must)

          THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET.

1.1.1     TCP/IP Protocol (must)

          THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET.

1.1.1     WindowsNT / Unix (must)

          THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET.

1.1.1     Oracle 8X (Must)

          THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET, AS DESCRIBED ON PAGE 21 OF THE
          ORIGINAL PROPOSAL.

1.1.1     Conversion from the current RAID which is operating under UNIX and
          using Oracle 7 DBMS. This conversion will require a re-parsing of
          data fields from the current file structure (known to DBI) to be
          incorporated into a new database structure which will allow for
          queries and retrieval based on multiple fields both indexed and
          non-indexed. The present database has duplicates, some erroneous
          entries, and test photos that must be filtered out. (Must)

          THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET.

<PAGE>


1.1      The current RAID must be analyzed for adequacy in regards to its
         capacity to support the ambitions of the enhanced EDMS and a
         replacement system(s) suggested if a "better fit" would appear
         appropriate.

         IWS proposes to install a new server as outlined in the new Cost
         Proposal and on pages 16-19 of the original proposal.

1.1.1.   Vendors, in their system assessment, should contemplate the
         following workload:

1.1.1.1.       LASD contemplates 20,000 bookings per month.

               THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET.

1.1.1.1.1.     Each booking will have a complete demographic record.

               THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET.

1.1.1.1.1.     Each booking will usually have two (2) mug-shot JPG (40K images)
               but may have as many as six (6) images if glasses / Scars /
               Marks / Tatoos are present.

               UNDERSTOOD.

1.1.1.1.       The system will be the mug shot photo source for:
1.1.1.1.1.     The Consolidated Criminal History and Records System (CHRSS)
               thumbnail and photo upon demand.

               THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET. (PAGE 22)

1.1.1.1.1.     The L.A. Regional Criminal Information System (LARCIS)
               thumbnail and photo upon demand.

               THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET. (PAGE 22)

1.1.1.1.1.     The feeder system for another web-server for CAL PHOTO ID*

               THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET. (PAGE 23)

               * The CAL PHOTO ID is a project of California DOJ utilizing
               web enabled servers outside of participating agencies'
               security to share photos throughout the California Law
               Enforcement Community. To participate, LASD will be provided a
               server by DOJ. DBI's selected sub-contractor will be called
               upon to specify/describe what server should be used for the
               L.A. Node of Cal Photo and to make the LASD Mugshots and
               demographics available to the Cal Photo Server. The vendor
               will be expected to provide ongoing hardware and software
               support for the CAL Photo server.

               THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET. IWS WILL DISCUSS WITH THE STATE
               THE SPECIFICATIONS FOR
<PAGE>

             THE WEB SERVER AND PROVIDE MAINTENANCE FOR THAT SERVER.

1.1.1.1.1    The Cal Gang Node maintained by LASD.
             THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET. (PAGE 23)

1.1.1.1.1    SDN users via enclosed intranet.

             IWS WILL PROVIDE A SITE LICENSE FOR BOTH LA COUNTY AND ORANGE
             COUNTY. STANDARD WEB BROWSERS MAY BE UTILIZED.

1.1.1.1.1.1  The approximate concurrent active logon sessions is anticipated
             to @200.

             UNDERSTOOD

1.1.1  LASD will require that DBI's selected sub-vendor must provide on-going
       software and hardware maintenance for the EDMS system that will be
       created beyond the present Store and forward. It is therefore required
       that they (the vendor) shall specify the hardware devices that best
       fit their comfort as to adequacy, reliability, and compatibility
       with their EDMS solution.

       IWS WILL PROVIDE MAINTENANCE FOR EVERYTHING PROVIDED WITHIN THE QUOTE.
       THE HARDWARE THAT IMAGEWARE IS SUGGESTING IS IBM HARDWARE SIMILAR TO
       THAT OF ARIZONA DPS. ARIZONA DPS IS EXTREMELY PLEASED WITH THE
       PERFORMANCE OF THEIR SERVER. (PAGE 18, 27, 36)

1.1.1  Sub-vendors shall include with their proposal the cost of the hardware
       device(s) that they are prepared to utilize and support.

       SEE THE UPDATED COST PROPOSAL (PART V)

1.1.1  LASD desires to retain the right to purchase the devices specified by
       the vendor directly rather then relying on DBI or the sub-vendor to
       acquire and provide the hardware. If this is unacceptable, it must be
       stated.

       THE HARDWARE THAT IWS IS PROPOSING HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY TESTED FOR
       QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE. IT IS OUR RECOMMENDED SOLUTION. ANY OTHER
       SOLUTION MAY HAVE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON SYSTEM PERFORMANCE. IF THE COUNTY
       CHOOSES TO PURCHASE THE HARDWARE FROM ANOTHER VENDOR THEN MANY ISSUES
       COME INTO PLAY. (MAINTENANCE, RELIABILITY, ETC.) IWS IS AGREEABLE TO
       DISCUSSING THIS POSSIBILITY, HOWEVER WE DO NOT RECOMMEND IT.

1.1.1  Response times: System abilities should contemplate multiple basic
       searches and retrievals from remote sites.

       THE SERVER WE ARE RECOMMENDING IS VERY ROBUST. THE FOUR 400 MHZ XEON
       PROCESSORS, AND 1 GB OF RAM ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE LOADS
       THAT ARE EXPECTED ON THE SYSTEM. (PAGE 18)

1.1.1  Response times: System may require audit trail housekeeping
       transactions.

<PAGE>

       THIS IS EXPECTED AND ACCOUNTED FOR IN OUR PROPOSED SOLUTION.

1.1.1.1.1    If no client software is required or license fees are
             contemplated, these facts need to be specified in any proposal.

PART IV
- -------

Changes to Original Proposal.  This includes additional software and
capabilities as well as clarification of a few issues on original proposal.

1.  An error was made on the original Cost Proposal.  The Phase I Software
    total which reads $118,000, should read $138,000 and has been corrected
    in the new Cost Proposal in Part V.

2.  Page 23 of the original proposal offers a site license to Los Angeles
    County for the Web investigative interface. ImageWare is extending that site
    license to Orange County at no additional cost. Value --- approx. $125,000

3.  Page 17 of the original proposal indicates that no Face ID clients are
    included with the system. ImageWare is now offering 4 copies of Face ID
    client software at no additional cost. To summarize, at no cost to the
    County, IWS will install Face ID server software and convert all existing
    images to Face ID. All new images will be automatically enrolled into Face
    ID and IWS will provide 4 copies of Face ID client software.  Pricing for
    additional copies of Face ID client software is included in the new Cost
    Proposal. Value --- approx. $140,000

4.  On Page 17 of the original proposal, IWS indicates that 20 copies of
    Suspect ID composite software will be included in the system. IWS is now
    offering an additional 20 copies of both Crime Lab and Vehicle ID at no
    additional cost. Value --- approx. $66,000

5.  IWS has provided sample prints of the several standard templates that are
    included with the software being provided. These samples include:

        - ID cards
        - Inmate Wristbands
        - Wanted Posters
        - Line-ups
        - Audit Reports
        - Search Lists
        - Record prints

6.  Upon approval from LA county and DOJ, IWS will enroll Megan's Law images
    into a separate Face ID database at no charge. All Face ID client sites
    will then have facial recognition search capabilities against the Megan's
    Law database. Value --- approx. $7,500

7.  Award of this contract will fulfill all previous IWS obligations to the
    County and the City of Lakewood at no cost to the County.
