F6	Up to 33.33% of the At-Target Performance RSUs shall vest on each one-year anniversary of the date of grant if the annual performance criteria for the applicable Performance Period has been met. Up to 33.33% of the Above-Target Performance RSUs shall vest on each one-year anniversary of the date of grant if the annual performance criteria for the applicable Performance Period has been exceeded by 10% or more.

For Mitek common stock performance (whether annual or cumulative) between 85% through 100% of the performance of the Russell 2000 Index, a pro-rata portion of the At-Target Performance RSUs will vest and no Above-Target Performance RSUs will vest.
F7	With respect to At-Target Performance RSUs, the annual performance criteria for each annual Performance Period shall be for the percentage increase in value of Mitek's common stock to meet or exceed the percentage increase in value of the Russell 2000 Index over the applicable annual Performance Period. With respect to Above-Target Performance RSUs, the annual performance criteria for each annual Performance Period shall be for the percentage increase in value of Mitek's common stock to be 110% or more of the percentage increase in value of the Russell 2000 Index over the applicable annual Performance Period.
F8	For the purposes of determining the percentage increase in value of Mitek's common stock and the Russell 2000 Index, a hypothetical investment of $100 will be made in both Mitek's common stock and the Russell 2000 Index with a purchase price equal to the average closing price of each for the 20-trading days immediately preceding the start of the applicable Performance Period. At the end of the applicable Performance Period, the value of the hypothetical investments shall be determined by assuming the sale of each based on the average closing price of each from the immediately preceding 20-trading days. The percentage change shall be determined by comparing the increase in value to the starting investment of $100.

At the end of the applicable Performance Period, the value of the hypothetical investments shall be determined by assuming the sale of each based on the average closing price of each from the immediately preceding 20-trading days. The % change shall be determined by comparing the increase in value to the starting investment. The performance criteria for the first Performance Period was met, resulting in the vesting of 33% of the Performance RSUs.
F11	Additionally, a portion of the Performance RSUs may vest during a later Performance Period if the cumulative % increase in value of Mitek common stock measured over the current and all previous Performance Periods exceeds the cumulative % increase in value of the Russell 2000 Index.
