        September 19, 2005, Mitek Systems, Inc. (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) entered into a lease
        agreement (the &#8220;Lease&#8221;) with Arden Realty Finance V, L.L.C., a Delaware limited
        liability company (the &#8220;Landlord&#8221;) regarding the leasing of space (the
&#8220;Premises&#8221;) for the Company&#8217;s principal executive offices to be located at 8911
        Balboa Avenue, San Diego, California 92123. The Lease estimates that the
        Premises consist of 15,927 rentable square feet. </font></div>

        Lease
        is effective and binding on the parties as of September 19, 2005; however,
        the
        term of the Lease will begin on date on which the Landlord achieves substantial
        completion of certain tenant improvements in accordance with the terms of
        the
        Lease (the "Commencement Date"). The initial term of the Lease is seven years.
        The Lease will be terminable by the Company after the calendar month which
        is
        forty-eight (48) full calendar months after the Commencement Date; however,
        termination will require certain penalties to be paid equal to two months
        of
        base rent and all unamortized tenant improvements and commissions. The Lease
        provides the Company with an option to extend the term of the Lease for five
        years, exercisable by delivery of written notice by the Company to the Landlord
        no later than nine (9) full calendar months prior to the expiration of the
        initial lease term. The Company currently anticipates the Commencement Date
        to
        occur in December 2005. Thereafter, during the initial term of the lease,
        in
        year 1, the monthly base rent for the Premises will be $1.55 per rentable
        square
        foot per month ($24,686 per month, assuming 15,927 rentable square feet).
        In
        year 2 and each subsequent year under the Lease, the base rent will be increased
        $.05 per rentable square foot per month as compared to the previous year,
        such
        that in year 7, the monthly base rent for the Premises will be $1.85 per
        rentable square foot per month ($29,464 per month, assuming 15,927 rentable
        square feet). During the option term, the monthly base rent shall be equal
        to
        the "fair market value" for the Premises as agreed to by the Company and
        the
        Landlord or, if the Company and Landlord are unable to agree, by an appraiser
        in
        accordance with the terms of the Lease. The Company is posting a security
        deposit under the Lease. In addition to the monthly base rent, the Company
        will
        be required to pay Landlord as additional rent operating expense increases
        of up
        to 6% annually and utilities costs. The Lease provides that the Landlord
        shall
        bear tenant improvement costs per a space plan approved by the
        Company.</font></div>

Item

Entry
        into a Material Definitive Agreement
.
On
        September 19, 2005, Mitek Systems, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a lease
        agreement (the "Lease") with Arden Realty Finance V, L.L.C., a Delaware limited
        liability company (the "Landlord") regarding the leasing of space (the
"Premises") for the Company's principal executive offices to be located at 8911
        Balboa Avenue, San Diego, California 92123. The Lease estimates that the
        Premises consist of 15,927 rentable square feet.
The
        Lease
        is effective and binding on the parties as of September 19, 2005; however,
        the
        term of the Lease will begin on date on which the Landlord achieves substantial
        completion of certain tenant improvements in accordance with the terms of
        the
        Lease (the "Commencement Date"). The initial term of the Lease is seven years.
        The Lease will be terminable by the Company after the calendar month which
        is
        forty-eight (48) full calendar months after the Commencement Date; however,
        termination will require certain penalties to be paid equal to two months
        of
        base rent and all unamortized tenant improvements and commissions. The Lease
        provides the Company with an option to extend the term of the Lease for five
        years, exercisable by delivery of written notice by the Company to the Landlord
        no later than nine (9) full calendar months prior to the expiration of the
        initial lease term. The Company currently anticipates the Commencement Date
        to
        occur in December 2005. Thereafter, during the initial term of the lease,
        in
        year 1, the monthly base rent for the Premises will be $1.55 per rentable
        square
        foot per month ($24,686 per month, assuming 15,927 rentable square feet).
        In
        year 2 and each subsequent year under the Lease, the base rent will be increased
        $.05 per rentable square foot per month as compared to the previous year,
        such
        that in year 7, the monthly base rent for the Premises will be $1.85 per
        rentable square foot per month ($29,464 per month, assuming 15,927 rentable
        square feet). During the option term, the monthly base rent shall be equal
        to
        the "fair market value" for the Premises as agreed to by the Company and
        the
        Landlord or, if the Company and Landlord are unable to agree, by an appraiser
        in
        accordance with the terms of the Lease. The Company is posting a security
        deposit under the Lease. In addition to the monthly base rent, the Company
        will
        be required to pay Landlord as additional rent operating expense increases
        of up
        to 6% annually and utilities costs. The Lease provides that the Landlord
        shall
        bear tenant improvement costs per a space plan approved by the
        Company.
