Item 1.01.              Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 30, 2006, ImageWare Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Product Line Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with PhotoLynx, Inc. (“PhotoLynx”) pursuant to which the Company sold its entire Digital Photography (“PDI”) product line and inventory (the “PDI Products”) to PhotoLynx.   The PDI Products consist of a suite of software for the professional photography market.  The software allows professional photographers to digitally capture images, manipulate them to create a custom package or layout, and then store the images with an associated database.

Under the Agreement, PhotoLynx agreed to purchase the PDI Products for a total of $400,000, including an initial payment of $25,000.   PhotoLynx will pay up to the full remaining amount of $375,000 in a series of quarterly installments equal to 12.5% of all newly acquired sales and license revenues of the PDI Products and PhotoLynx products earned by PhotoLynx (the “Percentage Payments”).   Until such time when the Company has received the full purchase price of $400,000 under the Agreement, during any 12-month period during which the aggregate Percentage Payments to the Company are less than $50,000, PhotoLynx will pay the Company the difference between the Percentage Payments and $50,000.

Under the Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify PhotoLynx from all damages or liabilities incurred by PhotoLynx arising out of certain infringement and related claims relating to the PDI Products.

The Company may terminate the Agreement in the event PhotoLynx fails to make any undisputed payments owed to the Company, subject to certain cure periods.
