SECTION 1 - REGISTRANT’S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
 
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement 
 
    On May 16, 2007, Sequiam Biometrics, Inc. (“Sequiam”) and Kwikset Corporation (“Kwikset”) amended that certain Cooperative Development and Supply Agreement dated as of September 13, 2005 (the “Agreement”). The amended agreement (the “Amendment”) provides for: (a) current payments to Sequiam for non-recurring engineering costs and test equipment; and (b) a fixed royalty payment to Sequiam for the Smart Scan over a royalty term that begins June 1, 2007 and is extended to May 31, 2012. The Amendment also grants Sequiam full reseller privileges for the Smart Scan product based on terms and conditions set by Kwikset.

    Kwikset and Sequiam further agreed to conduct a two phase cost reduction project for the Smart Scan. Kwikset agreed to pay Sequiam 50% of the Phase 1 cost savings achieved for a period of twelve months following the first delivery of the cost reduced product. Kwikset also agreed to pay Sequiam 50% of the Phase 2 incremental cost savings achieved for a period of twelve months following the first delivery of the phase 2 cost reduced product. Sequiam may also sell its proprietary technology to Kwikset for use in future versions of the Smart Scan product. 

    The Amendment removes a development project called BioSystems from the Agreement so that it, and all future projects contemplated by Sequiam and Kwikset are supported by separate agreements. Sequiam also agreed to deliver to Kwikset all information necessary for the manufacture of the product exclusive of trade secrets and source code, which remain Sequiam’s property.
