Internal Controls. The Company is in material compliance with the provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 currently applicable to the Company. Except as noted on Schedule 3(u), the Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management's general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management's general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including the Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company's certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the "Evaluation Date"). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 308 of Regulation S-K) or, to the Company's Knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company's internal controls. The Company maintains and will continue to maintain a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with GAAP and the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act.

Except as disclosed on Schedule 3(z) (each contract, agreement, commitment or understanding disclosed on Schedule 3(z) being hereinafter referred to as a “Material Agreement”), or as contemplated by this Agreement or another Transaction Document, there are no agreements, understandings, commitments, instruments, contracts, employment agreements, proposed transactions or judgments to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound which may involve obligations (contingent or otherwise), or a related series of obligations (contingent or otherwise), of, or payments, or a related series of payments, by the Company in excess of $100,000 in any one year. All Material Agreements are in full force and effect and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company and, to the Company’s Knowledge, the other parties thereto and are enforceable in accordance with their respective terms. To the Company’s Knowledge, neither the Company nor any person is in default under the terms of any Material Agreement, and no circumstance exists that would, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, constitute a default under any Material Agreement. The Purchasers have been furnished with complete and correct copies of all Material Agreements requested by them or their counsel to the extent requested.

No executive officer is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement or non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant in favor of any third party, and the continued employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.

Schedule 3.(k)
The Company’s Canadian subsidiary has been audited relative to Canadian taxes and the Canadian tax authority has issued a proposed notice of assessment of approximately $560,000. The Company has appealed the assessment and was successful in reducing the liability to approximately $150,000.
Schedule 3.(l)
The Company has issued certain convertible notes to directors and officers of the Company, in the principal amount totaling $110,000 (“Management Notes”), which Management Notes are convertible into 231,452 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
Schedule 3.(r )
The Company manages the ImageWare Systems, Inc. 401(k) Plan and Trust
Schedule 3.(u)
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of December 31, 2009 and 2010. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports submitted under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, due to the weaknesses described below. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Xxxxxxxx Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework.
Due principally to the Company’s liquidity challenges in 2009, the Company was compelled to reduce personnel, including accounting staff, and therefore suspend SEC filings and the associated costs until such time as the Company had sufficient resources to cover ongoing operations and the expenses of maintaining compliance with SEC filing requirements. These factors contributed to a material weakness in the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, and therefore arguably the Company’s entity level control environment, and prevented the Company from timely filing its required reports with the SEC. While the Company nevertheless has competent accounting and finance professionals necessary to ensure accurate reporting with the SEC, the weakness described above, together with our limited resources with which to conduct an audit of its financial statements, prevented the Company from timely filing with the SEC.

The Company is currently not current with its required filings with the SEC. The Company intends to file delinquent reports through December 31, 2010 upon receipt of consent from the SEC granting an accommodation to file delinquent reports through December 31, 2010, on one Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, which consent has been requested. The Company currently intends to file quarterly reports for 2011 before January 31, 2012, therefore becoming current with its reporting obligations under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by such date.
