INVESTOR REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

      THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as of
February 6, 2006, by and among HOMELAND SECURITY CAPITAL CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and the undersigned investors listed on Schedule I
attached hereto (each, an "Investor" and collectively, the "Investors").

      WHEREAS:

      A. In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement by and among the
parties hereto of even date herewith (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"), the
Company has agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the
Securities Purchase Agreement, to issue and sell to the Investors secured
convertible debentures (the "Convertible Debentures") which shall be convertible
into that number of shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per
share (the "Common Stock"), pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase
Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000).
Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in
the Securities Purchase Agreement.

      B. To induce the Investors to execute and deliver the Securities Purchase
Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations there
under, or any similar successor statute (collectively, the "Securities Act"),
and applicable state securities laws.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Investors
hereby agree as follows:

      1. DEFINITIONS.

      As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following
meanings:

            (a) "Person" means a corporation, a limited liability company, an
association, a partnership, an organization, a business, an individual, a
governmental or political subdivision thereof or a governmental agency.

            (b) "Register," "registered," and "registration" refer to a
registration effected by preparing and filing one or more Registration
Statements (as defined below) in compliance with the Securities Act and pursuant
to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule providing for
offering securities on a continuous or delayed basis ("Rule 415"), and the
declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such Registration Statement(s) by
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

            (c) "Registrable Securities" means the shares of Common Stock
issuable to the Investors upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Buyer's Shares, as this term is
defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement and Series F Preferred Shares
issued pursuant to that certain Investment Agreement dated October 6, 2005.

<PAGE>

            (d) "Registration Statement" means a registration statement under
the Securities Act which covers the Registrable Securities.

      2. REGISTRATION.

            (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
Company shall prepare and file, no later than ninety (90) days from the date
hereof (the "Scheduled Filing Deadline"), with the SEC a registration statement
on Form S-1 or SB-2 (or, if the Company is then eligible, on Form S-3) under the
Securities Act (the "Initial Registration Statement") for the resale by the
Investors of the Registrable Securities, which includes at least
__________________ shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the
Convertible Debentures, _______________ (____________) of Buyer's Shares and one
million (1,000,000) of Series G Preferred Shares. The Company shall cause the
Registration Statement to remain effective until all of the Registrable
Securities have been sold. Prior to the filing of the Registration Statement
with the SEC, the Company shall furnish a copy of the Initial Registration
Statement to the Investors for their review and comment. The Investors shall
furnish comments on the Initial Registration Statement to the Company within
twenty-four (24) hours of the receipt thereof from the Company.

            (b) Effectiveness of the Initial Registration Statement. The Company
shall use its best efforts (i) to have the Initial Registration Statement
declared effective by the SEC no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after
the date hereof (the "Scheduled Effective Deadline") and (ii) to insure that the
Initial Registration Statement and any subsequent Registration Statement remains
in effect until all of the Registrable Securities have been sold, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. It shall be an event of default
hereunder if the Initial Registration Statement is not declared effective by the
SEC within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date hereof.

            (c) Failure to File or Obtain Effectiveness of the Registration
Statement. In the event the Registration Statement is not filed by the Scheduled
Filing Deadline or is not declared effective by the SEC on or before the
Scheduled Effective Date, or if after the Registration Statement has been
declared effective by the SEC, sales cannot be made pursuant to the Registration
Statement (whether because of a failure to keep the Registration Statement
effective, failure to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be
made pursuant to the Registration Statement, failure to register sufficient
shares of Common Stock or otherwise) then as partial relief for the damages to
any holder of Registrable Securities by reason of any such delay in or reduction
of its ability to sell the underlying shares of Common Stock (which remedy shall
not be exclusive of any other remedies at law or in equity), the Company will
pay as liquidated damages (the "Liquidated Damages") to the holder, at the
holder's option, either a cash amount or shares of the Company's Common Stock
within three (3) business days, after demand therefore, equal to two percent
(2%) of the liquidated value of the Convertible Debentures outstanding as
Liquidated Damages for each thirty (30) day period after the Scheduled Filing
Deadline or the Scheduled Effective Date as the case may be.

                                       2
<PAGE>

            (d) Liquidated Damages. The Company and the Investor hereto
acknowledge and agree that the sums payable under subsection 2(c) above shall
constitute liquidated damages and not penalties and are in addition to all other
rights of the Investor, including the right to call a default. The parties
further acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred
is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts specified
in such subsections bear a reasonable relationship to, and are not plainly or
grossly disproportionate to, the probable loss likely to be incurred in
connection with any failure by the Company to obtain or maintain the
effectiveness of a Registration Statement, (iii) one of the reasons for the
Company and the Investor reaching an agreement as to such amounts was the
uncertainty and cost of litigation regarding the question of actual damages, and
(iv) the Company and the Investor are sophisticated business parties and have
been represented by sophisticated and able legal counsel and negotiated this
Agreement at arm's length.

      3. RELATED OBLIGATIONS.

            (a) The Company shall keep the Registration Statement effective
pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the date on which the Investor shall
have sold all the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement
(the "Registration Period"), which Registration Statement (including any
amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

            (b) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments
(including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration
Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration
Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated
under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration
Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during
such period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to
the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such
Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities
shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of
disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration
Statement. In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement
which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to
this Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company's filing a report on Form 10-KSB,
Form 10-QSB or Form 8-K or any analogous report under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Company shall incorporate such
report by reference into the Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall
file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the
Exchange Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to
amend or supplement the Registration Statement.

            (c) The Company shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable
Securities are included in any Registration Statement, without charge, (i) at
least one (1) copy of such Registration Statement as declared effective by the
SEC and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules,
all documents incorporated therein by reference, all exhibits and each
preliminary prospectus, (ii) ten (10) copies of the final prospectus included in
such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such
other number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such
other documents as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time in
order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such
Investor.

                                       3
<PAGE>

            (d) The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register and
qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under
such other securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions in the United
States as any Investor reasonably requests, (ii) prepare and file in those
jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and
supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to
maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take
such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and
qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv)
take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the
Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition
thereto to (w) make any change to its articles of incorporation or by-laws, (x)
qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be
required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general
taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of
process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify each
Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification
of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or "blue sky"
laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of
the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

            (e) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or
development, the Company shall notify each Investor in writing of the happening
of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration
Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any
material, nonpublic information), and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment
to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and
deliver ten (10) copies of such supplement or amendment to each Investor. The
Company shall also promptly notify each Investor in writing (i) when a
prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been
filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has
become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to each
Investor by facsimile on the same day of such effectiveness), (ii) of any
request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or
related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company's reasonable
determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would
be appropriate.

            (f) The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance
of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration
Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable
Securities for sale in any jurisdiction within the United States of America and,
if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order
or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify each Investor who
holds Registrable Securities being sold of the issuance of such order and the
resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat
of any proceeding for such purpose.

                                       4
<PAGE>

            (g) At the reasonable request of any Investor, the Company shall
furnish to such Investor, on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as an Investor may
reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company's independent
certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by
independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten
public offering, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel
representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form,
scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering,
addressed to the Investors.

            (h) The Company shall make available for inspection by (i) any
Investor and (ii) one (1) firm of accountants or other agents retained by the
Investors (collectively, the "Inspectors") all pertinent financial and other
records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company
(collectively, the "Records"), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each
Inspector, and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply
all information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however,
that each Inspector shall agree, and each Investor hereby agrees, to hold in
strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to an Investor) or
use any Record or other information which the Company determines in good faith
to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified,
unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a
misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required
under the Securities Act, (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to
a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of
competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has been made
generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this
or any other agreement of which the Inspector and the Investor has knowledge.
Each Investor agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such
Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent
jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow
the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent
disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed
confidential.

            (i) The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure
of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless (i)
disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state
securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid
or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the
release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final,
non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent
jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the
public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other
agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of
such information concerning an Investor is sought in or by a court or
governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt
written notice to such Investor and allow such Investor, at the Investor's
expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain
a protective order for, such information.

            (j) The Company shall use its best efforts either to cause all the
Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement (i) to be listed on
each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued
by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable
Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange or (ii) the
inclusion for quotation on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
OTC Bulletin Board for such Registrable Securities. The Company shall pay all
fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this
Section 3(j).

                                       5
<PAGE>

            (k) The Company shall cooperate with the Investors who hold
Registrable Securities being offered and, to the extent applicable, to
facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any
restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered
pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such
denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Investors may reasonably
request and registered in such names as the Investors may request.

            (l) The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registrable
Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement to be registered
with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be
necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

            (m) The Company shall make generally available to its security
holders as soon as practical, but not later than ninety (90) days after the
close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying
with the provisions of Rule 158 under the Securities Act) covering a twelve (12)
month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company's fiscal
quarter next following the effective date of the Registration Statement.

            (n) The Company shall otherwise use its best efforts to comply with
all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with any
registration hereunder.

            (o) Within two (2) business days after a Registration Statement
which covers Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC, the
Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver,
to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the
Investors whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration
Statement) confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared
effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

            (p) The Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to
expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investors of Registrable Securities
pursuant to a Registration Statement.

      4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTORS.

            Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the
Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or
the first sentence of 3(e), such Investor will immediately discontinue
disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement(s)
covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor's receipt of the copies
of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(e) or
receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is required. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver
unlegended certificates for shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an
Investor in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in
connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an
Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor's receipt of
a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in
Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e) and for which the Investor has not
yet settled.

                                       6

      5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.

      All expenses incurred in connection with registrations, filings or
qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all
registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers, legal and accounting
fees shall be paid by the Company.

      6. INDEMNIFICATION.

      With respect to Registrable Securities which are included in a
Registration Statement under this Agreement:

            (a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and
hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Investor, the directors,
officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if
any, who controls any Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable
attorneys' fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several
(collectively, "Claims") incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any
action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the
foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other
regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or
not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto ("Indemnified Damages"),
to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or
proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of
or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the
offering under the securities or other "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction in
which Registrable Securities are offered ("Blue Sky Filing"), or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any final
prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission
to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made
therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were
made, not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company
of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including, without
limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation there under
relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a
Registration Statement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii)
being, collectively, "Violations"). The Company shall reimburse the Investors
and each such controlling person promptly as such expenses are incurred and are
due and payable, for any legal fees or disbursements or other reasonable
expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such
Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (x) shall not apply to
a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which
occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing
to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with
the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or
supplement thereto; (y) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based
on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the
prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made
available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c); and (z) shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without
the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person
and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors
pursuant to Section 9 hereof.

                                       7
<PAGE>

            (b) In connection with a Registration Statement, each Investor
agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the
same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company,
each of its directors, each of its officers, employees, representatives, or
agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each an "Indemnified Party"), against
any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under
the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or
Indemnified Damages arise out of or is based upon any Violation, in each case to
the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such
Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and,
subject to Section 6(d), such Investor will reimburse any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement
contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution
contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such
Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further,
however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that
amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to
such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such
Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party
and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors
pursuant to Section 9. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(b) with
respect to any prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified
Party if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the
prospectus was corrected and such new prospectus was delivered to each Investor
prior to such Investor's use of the prospectus to which the Claim relates.

                                       8
<PAGE>

            (c) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or
proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim,
such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect
thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6,
deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof,
and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the
extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying
party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel
mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or
the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own
counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one (1) counsel for such
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the indemnifying party,
if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the
representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any
other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in
connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the
indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information
reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which
relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the
status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No
indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or
proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, that
the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its
consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or
enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in
respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for
hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms
or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made.
The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a
reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such
indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is
prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

            (d) The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by
periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation
or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

            (e) The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition
to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any
liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

      7. CONTRIBUTION.

      To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited
or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum
contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable
under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that:
(i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable
Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by
such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

      8. REPORTS UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT.

      With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act or any similar rule or regulation of the
SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company
to the public without registration ("Rule 144") the Company agrees to:

            (a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144;

            (b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood
that nothing herein shall limit the Company's obligations under Section 4(c) of
the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other
documents as are required by the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

            (c) furnish to each Investor so long as such Investor owns

                            OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Attention:

         Re: HOMELAND SECURITY CAPITAL CORPORATION

Ladies and Gentlemen:

      We are counsel to Homeland Security Capital Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and have represented the Company in connection with
that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement")
entered into by and among the Company and the investors named therein
(collectively, the "Investors") pursuant to which the Company issued to the
Investors shares of its Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common
Stock"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a
Registration Rights Agreement with the Investors (the "Investor Registration
Rights Agreement") pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to
register the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
In connection with the Company's obligations under the Registration Rights
Agreement, on ____________ ____, the Company filed a Registration Statement on
Form ________ (File No. 333-_____________) (the "Registration Statement") with
the Securities and Exchange SEC (the "SEC") relating to the Registrable
Securities which names each of the Investors as a selling stockholder there
under.

      In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SEC's
staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring
the Registration Statement effective under the Securities Act at [ENTER TIME OF
EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and we have no knowledge, after
telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC's staff, that any stop order
suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that
purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable
Securities are available for resale under the Securities Act pursuant to the
Registration Statement.

                                       Very truly yours,

                                       [Law Firm]

                                       By:

the Series G Preferred Shares.

Series G Preferred Shares are outstanding, and except for the Convertible

preferred stock, warrant, option, right, contract, call, or other security or

issuance of such Convertible Security, (iii) enter into any security instrument
granting the holder a security interest in any and all assets of the Company, or

      Section 11.2 Indemnification by the Buyer. The Buyer (hereinafter called
the "Buyer Indemnitors") shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
its direct and indirect parent corporations, subsidiaries and affiliates, their
officers, members, directors, employees, attorneys and agents (hereinafter
called "Company Indemnitee") against and in respect of any and all loss, damage,
liability, cost and expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees and amounts
paid in settlement (collectively, "Company Losses"), suffered or incurred by
Company Indemnitee by reason of or arising out of any misrepresentation, breach
of warranty or breach or non-fulfillment of any material covenant, obligation or
agreement of the Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any other certificate,
schedule, instrument or document delivered to the Company by or on behalf of the
Buyer pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement (without regard to
materiality thresholds contained therein).

      Section 11.3 Defense of Claims.

            (a) Each party seeking indemnification hereunder (an "Indemnitee"):
(i) shall provide the other party or parties (the "Indemnitor") written notice
of any claim or action by a third party for which an Indemnitor may be liable
under the terms of this Agreement, within ten (10) days after such claim or
action arises and is known to Indemnitee, and (ii) shall give the Indemnitor a
reasonable opportunity to participate in any proceedings and to settle or defend
any such claim or action. The expenses of all proceedings, contests or lawsuits
with respect to such claims or actions shall be borne by the Indemnitor. If the
Indemnitor wishes to assume the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnitor
shall give written notice to the Indemnitee within ten (10) days after notice
from the Indemnitee of such claim or action, and the Indemnitor shall thereafter
assume the defense of any such claim or liability, through counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnitee, provided that Indemnitee may participate in such
defense at their own expense, and the Indemnitor shall, in any event, have the
right to control the defense of the claim or action. The failure of an
Indemnitee to give any notice required by this Section shall not affect any of
such party's rights under this Section or otherwise, except and to the extent
that such failure is actually prejudicial to the rights or obligations of the
Indemnitor.

            (b) If the Indemnitor shall not assume the defense of, or if after
so assuming it shall fail to defend, any such claim or action, the Indemnitee
may defend against any such claim or action in such manner as they may deem
appropriate and the Indemnitees may settle such claim or litigation on such
terms as they may deem appropriate but subject to the Indemnitor's approval,
such approval not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that any such
settlement shall be deemed approved by the Indemnitor if the Indemnitor fails to
object thereto, by written notice to the Indemnitee, within fifteen (15) days
after the Indemnitor's receipt of a written summary of such settlement. The
Indemnitor shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitee for the amount of all
expenses, legal and otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the
defense and settlement of such claim or action.

                                     - 18 -

            (c) If a non-appealable judgment is rendered against any Indemnitee
in any action covered by the indemnification hereunder, or any lien attaches to
any of the assets of any of the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall immediately
upon such entry or attachment pay such judgment in full or discharge such lien
unless, at the expense and direction of the Indemnitor, an appeal is taken under
which the execution of the judgment or satisfaction of the lien is stayed. If
and when a final judgment is rendered in any such action, the Indemnitor shall
forthwith pay such judgment or discharge such lien before any Indemnitee is
compelled to do so.

      Section 11.4 Waiver. The failure of any Indemnitee to give any notice or
to take any action hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver of any of the rights
of such Indemnitee hereunder, except to the extent that Indemnitor is actually
prejudiced by such failure.

covenants or obligations under this Agreement; or (ii) any of the conditions
precedent set forth in Articles III, IV, VII, VIII or IX are not satisfied as

precedent set forth in Articles VII, VIII or IX are not satisfied as and when
required by this Agreement; or (iii) the Closing has not been consummated by

termination ("Termination Notice") pursuant to this Articles XIII shall be given

other party or parties (collectively, the "Terminated Party"), and such notice
shall state the reason for termination. The party or parties receiving
Termination Notice shall have a period of ten (10) days after receipt of
Termination Notice to cure the matters giving rise to such termination to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Terminating Party. If the matters giving rise to
termination are not cured as required hereby, this Agreement shall be terminated
effective as of the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the
Terminated Party's receipt of Termination Notice. Upon termination of this
Agreement prior to the consummation of the Closing and in accordance with the

      Section 13.3 Counterparts; Interpretation. This Agreement may be executed
in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and
all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement
supersedes all prior discussions and agreements between the parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof, and this Agreement contains the sole and entire
agreement among the parties with respect to the matters covered hereby. All
Schedules hereto shall be deemed a part of this Agreement. This Agreement shall
not be altered or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by or on
behalf of all of the parties hereto. No ambiguity in any provision hereof shall
be construed against a party by reason of the fact it was drafted by such party
or its counsel. For purposes of this Agreement: "herein", "hereby", "hereunder",
"herewith", "hereafter" and "hereinafter" refer to this Agreement in its
entirety, and not to any particular subsection or paragraph. References to
"including" means including without limiting the generality of any description
preceding such term. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended,
or shall be construed, to confer upon or give any person other than the parties
hereto any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

      Section 13.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard
to the principles of conflict of laws. The parties further agree that any action
between them shall be heard exclusively in Hudson County, New Jersey, and
expressly consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the Superior Court of New
Jersey, sitting in Hudson County, New Jersey and the United States District
Court of New Jersey, sitting in Newark, New Jersey, for the adjudication of any
civil action asserted pursuant to this paragraph. Each party hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action in the forum selected
hereby.

      Section 13.5 Successors and Assigns; Assignment. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective heirs, executors, legal representatives, and successors; provided,
however, that the Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights hereunder,
in whole or in part.

      Section 13.6 Partial Invalidity and Severability. All rights and
restrictions contained herein may be exercised and shall be applicable and
binding only to the extent that they do not violate any applicable laws and are
intended to be limited to the extent necessary to render this Agreement legal,
valid and enforceable. If any terms of this Agreement not essential to the
commercial purpose of this Agreement shall be held to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, it is the intention of the
parties that the remaining terms hereof shall constitute their agreement with
respect to the subject matter hereof and all such remaining terms shall remain
in full force and effect. To the extent legally permissible, any illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provision of this Agreement shall be replaced by a
valid provision which will implement the commercial purpose of the illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provision.

      Section 13.7 Waiver. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived
at any time by the party which is entitled to the benefit thereof, but only if
such waiver is evidenced by a writing signed by such party. No failure on the
part of a party hereto to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power
or remedy created hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy by any such party
preclude any other future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,
power or remedy. No waiver by any party hereto to any breach of or default in
any term or condition of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of or assent
to any succeeding breach of or default in the same or any other term or
condition hereof.
