<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

          at no additional cost to the County.

     b.   Software

          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.

     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.

                      EXHIBIT B - INSTALLATION PROCEDURES


     As noted on the implementation schedule, installation will commence with
     the server. Once the server is on-line, installation of the capture
     stations and investigate stations will take place beginning with the
     jail site. Sites will install as follows:

          a.     turn off an existing capture station
          b.     install new CCS station
          c.     bring new capture station live
          d.     install investigate station where applicable
          e.     IWS testing
          f.     User Training

     Down time for each capture station will be approximately one day per
     station. Ventura County will be responsible for dismantling the existing
     capture stations and preparing the sites for IWS.

                   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.

                          SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT PHOTO IMAGING SYSTEM --
                            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.

<PAGE>

                b) DETAILED DESIGN
                The vendor will define the overall design of the networked
                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.

               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

                      product resources, technical resources, staffing, staff
                      experience and facilities.

                      Client references will be contacted and their responses

                      method for meeting the requirements of this RFP in the
                      most efficient manner will be an important

               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

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.

and until all claims for materials and labor are paid, and shall otherwise
comply with the Civil Code.

The "Performance Bond" shall be for 100% of the contract price to guarantee
faithful performance of all work, within the time prescribed, in a manner
satisfactory to the County, and that all materials and workmanship will be
free from original or developed defects.

Should any bond become insufficient, the Contractor shall renew the bond
within 10 days after receiving notice from the County.

Should any Surety at any time be unsatisfactory to the County, notice will be
given to the contractor to that effect. No further payments shall be deemed
due or will be made under the contract until a new Surety shall qualify and
be accepted by the County.

Changes in the work, or extensions of time, made pursuant to the contract,
shall in no way release the Contractor or Surety from their obligations.
Notice of such changes or extensions shall be waived by the Surety.

The bonding company's Attorney-in-Fact shall have a power-of-attorney filed
with the Ventura County Clerk. The County Clerk charges a $2 fee for filing
the power-of-attorney. An acknowledgement by a Notary Public that the person
signing the bond is an Attorney-in-Fact for the bonding company shall be
attached to each bond.

The Materials and wages bond must remain in effect until the expiration of
six months after the period in which verified claims may be filed as provided
in Section 1192.1 of the code of Civil Procedure, and the performance bond
must be paid up and in effect for one year after the acceptance of the job by
the County.

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

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

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

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

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
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
company.

            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.

TECHNICAL APPROACH
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (IWS ANSWERS IN BOLD/ITALICS)

    NEW PHOTO IMAGING SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

PLATFORMS AND ARCHITECTURE

    1.    The new system shall conform to Ventura County Information System
          Department's and Ventura County Sheriffs Information Bureau's
          platforms and architecture requirements. (CURRENT HARDWARE,
          SOFTWARE, DATA, AND NETWORK ENVIRONMENT(S) WILL BE DISCUSSED AT THE
          BIDDER'S CONFERENCE)

          THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET. CCS RUNS ON WINDOWS NT 4.0 AND THE
          UNDERLYING DATABASE IS SYBASE. EXISTING HARDWARE WILL BE UTILIZED
          EXCEPT WHERE EXPRESSLY NOTED.

    2.    System shall be 'open architecture', non-proprietary.

          CCS IS AN OPEN ARCHITECTURE, ODBC COMPLIANT SYSTEMS.

    3.    System shall be 'Year'2000' compliant.

          CCS AND ALL C.R.I.M.E.S. MODULAR SOFTWARE HAS BEEN TESTED AND
          DEVELOPED TO BE YEAR 2000 COMPLIANT.

    4.    System's capture stations be NT 4.0; the retrieval stations shall
          be NT 4.0 and WIN '95 compatible.

          THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET.

    5.    System shall have the ability to network, preferably using
          Ethernet./TCP/IP.

          THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE MET.

    6.    System shall have API (Application Programmers Interface) tools for
          interface with County Systems. System shall be API capable and work
          with PowerBuilder.

          IWS WILL PROVIDE A CUSTOM API THAT IS CAPABLE OF WORKING WITH
          POWERBUILDER. THIS API WILL INCLUDE A SITE LICENSE THAT WILL
          ENABLE IT TO BE USED BY ANY WORKSTATION CURRENTLY ACCESSING THE
          VCJIS AND INMATE MANAGEMENT DATABASE.


                                      42

<PAGE>

DETENTION SERVICES

    1.    System shall have the capability of being able to interface with
          the current and future Inmate Management System using AP tools.

          IWS WILL PROVIDE A SINGLE API THAT WILL ALLOW THE VENTURA COUNTY
          MIS DEPARTMENT TO INCORPORATE IMAGE ENABLING WITHIN THE VCJIS AND
          INMATE MANAGEMENT NETWORK. POWERBUILDER AS WELL AS OTHER THIRD
          PARTY SOFTWARE CAN UTILIZE THIS 'EXPORT DLL'. THIS API SOLUTION
          ALSO INCLUDES A SITE LICENSE ALLOWING ITS USE BY ANY VCJIS OR
          INMATE MANAGEMENT WORKSTATION. ADDITIONAL SYBASE CONCURRENCY
          LICENSES ARE NOT INCLUDED AND SHOULD BE DISCUSSED DURING CONTRACT
          NEGOTIATION.

    2.    System shall have the capability of being able to capture color
          mug-shot photographs during booking process and providing print out
          on booking sheets as well as to provide a photograph on inmate
          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

<PAGE>

          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.

     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.

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

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.

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

ASSUMPTIONS & RFP EXCEPTIONS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-  ImageWare requests that the final acceptance period be 30 days with 98%
   uptime.

-  ImageWare will install a CCS base system that will serve as the functional
   prototype. One month prior to final acceptance testing, there will be a
   review by IWS and the County Project Coordinator. This review is to iron
   out any minor customization or changes that may or may not be necessary.
   The County and IWS must agree to any modifications, and these modifications
   will be made prior to final acceptance testing begins.

-  Any and all user defined and maintained lists will be the same throughout
   the system, and those lists will be provided to ImageWare for initial
   loading.

-  All necessary equipment to allow connection to the existing network will
   be provided either by the County or each agency where the installation is
   to be done. It is expected that there will be adequate ports available at
   each remote site for the capture station and investigative workstation
   installation and at the central server installation.

-  Source code utilized in C.R.I.M.E.S.-Registered Trademark- is already
   covered by U.S. Patents, Copyrights and Trade Marks. In title, it is owned
   by ImageWare Software, Inc.
