instead nominated a candidate with extensive banking and payments industry
expertise, based on his wealth of business and strategic experience in the very
sectors of the markets which are the focus of the Company and its marketing
efforts.&#160; The nominee is an experienced and well regarded independent
director, currently serving in such capacities for five public companies,
current Chairman of a prominent bank, and former CEO of a prominent credit card

writing to resign as a member of Mitek Systems Inc.&#8217;s Board of Directors,
effective at the close of business on February [ ], 2011. As I explain below, I
am doing so because I disagree with a practice of taking retribution against a
director for exercising his fiduciary duties when such exercise results in an
action opposed by the company&#8217;s CEO, which Mitek&#8217;s Board of Directors has done
to me for expressing my opposition to what I considered an excessive grant of
stock options to Jim. Director independence is the hallmark of a well
functioning board. Instead of embracing my independent views, however, you
responded to it by refusing to re-nominate me to Mitek&#8217;s board of directors. I
am unwilling to serve on a board where personal relationships with the CEO
infect the decision-making process and where the board seeks to retaliate
against a board member for exercising his independent judgment.</font></div>

beyond dispute that I have long been a loyal, dedicated and valuable member of
Mitek&#8217;s board. Until recently, both of you looked to me as a key member of
Mitek&#8217;s core strategic team. Last Fall, Jim acknowledged the value I bring by
selecting me as one of only two outside directors (in addition to John) to serve
on a special committee to explore potential strategic opportunities. And Jim&#8217;s
January 21 letter confirms that my service on Mitek&#8217;s board has benefitted the
company in many ways. It is equally clear, however, that your decision not to
re-nominate me to Mitek&#8217;s board is attributable to the events of November 2010,
which I describe below.</font></div>
    <div style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt" align="justify">&#160;</div>

know, in early November 2010, Jim recommended that the board grant additional
stock options to employees. Initially, Jim recommended an additional grant of
10% of the then-current stock options held by most Mitek employees, including
himself. I was not opposed to this initial proposal. In short order, however,
Jim came back to the board twice, seeking an increase in his personal grant,
first to 15% of his current stock options, and, then, to 17%, for a total of
356,830 additional options. When I learned of Jim&#8217;s first proposed increase, I
expressed some surprise at the increase in Jim&#8217;s share to 15%, which I noted was
not consistent with the &#8220;10% Model&#8221; that we had previously discussed. On
Thursday evening, November 11, Jim sent me an e-mail asking whether I would be
available for a meeting of the Compensation Committee, of which I am a member. I
responded by e-mail, stating that I was tied up in morning meetings on Friday
and then a return flight from the East Coast, but would make myself available
for a weekend call of the committee if necessary. In my response, I noted that I
still had questions and did not &#8220;see any purpose in rushing to judgment on
this.&#8221; Jim later explained that his urgency resulted from his desire to have the
board grant the additional stock options before Mitek issued a highly favorable
earnings announcement on November 16. Jim&#8217;s assessment of the market&#8217;s response
to the earning announcement was correct. Mitek&#8217;s stock price more than doubled
in the weeks following the earnings release, resulting in Jim&#8217;s additional
options being over $1 million in the money.</font></div>

following week, I was appalled to learn that, without having given me notice of
the meeting or obtaining from me a waiver of notice, the Compensation Committee
met without me on Monday, November 15, and approved Jim&#8217;s request for a 17%

immediately sent an e-mail to Jim and the other two members of the Compensation

this up with an e-mail to the members of the committee, along with John as

I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s too late to do anything about it, I also have a problem with the
17% stock grant that was given to Jim. I believe Jim certainly deserves a
top-off grant along with everyone else, but I&#8217;m of the opinion that 17% is
excessive --- this brings Jim&#8217;s total holdings to 10% of the fully diluted
shares of the company which is too large for a non-founding CEO, in my
experience. I doubt we&#8217;ll get any shareholder challenges on this --- nonetheless
I&#8217;d like for the record to show that I was not present and I did not vote at the

mobile payments business. But bringing in Mr. Hart is no reason to remove me

end, the conclusion is inescapable that you, with the Mitek board, retaliated
against me for having exercised my fiduciary duties and gone on record with my
objection to an overly generous stock grant to the company&#8217;s CEO, especially in
light of the fact that it was granted immediately prior to an earnings
announcement that was expected to, and did, result in a stock price increase
(which resulted in Jim&#8217;s stock option grant being over $1 million in the money
within weeks). I am proud of my service as a member of Mitek&#8217;s board. But I
disagree with a practice of taking retribution against a director for exercising
his fiduciary duties when such exercise results in an action opposed by the
company&#8217;s CEO, and have concluded, regrettably, that the board has lost sight of
its mission and the principles of good corporate governance. Because I disagree
with this practice, and have reached that conclusion, I must
resign.</font></div>

writing to resign as a member of Mitek Sytems Inc.&#8217;s Board of Directors,
effective at the close of business on February 18, 2011. As I explain below, I
am doing so because I disagree with a practice of taking retribution against a
director for exercising his fiduciary duties when such exercise results in an
action opposed by the company&#8217;s CEO, which Mitek&#8217;s Board of Directors has done
to me for expressing my opposition to what I considered an excessive grant of
stock options to Jim. Director independence is the hallmark of a well
functioning board. Instead of embracing my independent views, however, you
responded to it by refusing to renominate me to Mitek&#8217;s board of directors. I am
unwilling to serve on a board where personal relationships with the CEO infect
the decision-making process and where the board seeks to retaliate against a
board member for exercising his independent judgment.</font></div>

beyond dispute that I have long been a loyal, dedicated and valuable member of
Mitek&#8217;s board. Until recently, both of you looked to me as a key member of
Mitek&#8217;s core strategic team. Last Fall, Jim acknowledged the value I bring by
selecting me as one of only two outside directors (in addition to John) to serve
on a special committee to explore potential strategic opportunities. And Jim&#8217;s
January 21 letter confirms that my service on Mitek&#8217;s board has benefitted the
company in many ways. It is equally clear, however, that your decision not to
renominate me to Mitek&#8217;s board is attributable to the events of November 2010,
which I describe below.</font></div>
    <div style="DISPLAY: block; TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br></div>

know, in early November 2010, Jim recommended that the board grant additional
stock options to employees. Initially, Jim recommended an additional grant of
10% of the then-current stock options held by most Mitek employees, including
himself. I was not opposed to this initial proposal. In short order, however,
Jim came back to the board twice, seeking an increase in his personal grant,
first to 15% of his current stock options, and, then, to 17%, for a total of
356,830 additional options. When I learned of Jim&#8217;s first proposed increase, I
expressed some surprise at the increase in Jim&#8217;s share to 15%, which I noted was
not consistent with the &#8220;10% Model&#8221; that we had previously discussed. On
Thursday evening, November 11, Jim sent me an e-mail asking whether I would be
available for a meeting of the Compensation Committee, of which I am a member. I
responded by e-mail, stating that I was tied up in morning meetings on Friday
and then a return flight from the East Coast, but would make myself available
for a weekend call </font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">of the
committee if necessary. In my response, I noted that I still had questions and
did not &#8220;see any purpose in rushing to judgment on this.&#8221; Jim later explained
that his urgency resulted from his desire to have the board grant the additional
stock options before Mitek issued a highly favorable earnings announcement on
November 16. Jim&#8217;s assessment of the market&#8217;s response to the earning
announcement was correct. Mitek&#8217;s stock price more than doubled in the weeks
following the earnings release, resulting in Jim&#8217;s additional options being over
$1 million in the money.</font></div>

end, the conclusion is inescapable that you, with the Mitek board, retaliated
against me for having exercised my fiduciary duties and gone on record with my
objection to an overly generous stock grant to the company&#8217;s CEO, especially in
light of the fact that it was granted immediately prior to an earnings
announcement that was expected to, and did, result in a stock </font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">price
increase (which resulted in Jim&#8217;s stock option grant being over $1 million in
the money within weeks). I am proud of my service as a member of Mitek&#8217;s board.
But I disagree with a practice of taking retribution against a director for
exercising his fiduciary duties when such exercise results in an action opposed
by the company&#8217;s CEO, and have concluded, regrettably, that the board has lost
sight of its mission and the principles of good corporate governance. Because I
disagree with this practice, and have reached that conclusion, I must
resign.</font></div>
