NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual promises, representations, warranties and covenants hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Agreement to Sell and Purchase.

1.1 Shares. Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date (as defined herein below), the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase from the Company, the Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000 (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

1.2 Warrant. Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Company will issue and deliver to the Purchaser a Warrant to purchase up to that number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite the Purchaser’s name on Schedule 1 in connection with the Offering pursuant to Section 1 hereof with an exercise price of $0.75 per share (subject to adjustment as provided for therein.) All the representations, covenants, warranties, undertakings, and indemnification, and other rights made or granted to or for the benefit of the Purchaser by the Company are hereby also made and granted in respect of the Warrant and shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant (the “Warrant Shares”). The issuance and

sale of the Shares and the Warrant on the Closing Date shall be known as the “Offering.” The Shares, the Warrant and the Warrant Shares are collectively referred to as the “Securities.”

2. Closing, Delivery and Payment.

2.1 Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions herein, the transactions contemplated hereby shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) at such time or place as the Company and the Purchaser may mutually agree (each, a “Closing Date”); provided that the date of the Closing (the “Closing Date”) shall be no later than September [9], 2006.

2.2 Delivery. At the Closing, the Company will deliver to the Purchaser, among other things, the number of Shares purchased on such Closing Date and the Warrant, and the Purchaser will deliver to the Company, among other things, the Aggregate Purchase Price by (i) certified funds or wire transfer, (ii) by application of (a) accrued and unpaid interest owed to the Purchaser by the Company pursuant to any subordinated promissory notes held by the Purchaser and/or (b) accrued and unpaid dividends owed to the Purchaser pursuant to any shares of preferred stock of the Company held by the Purchaser, or (iii) by any combination of the foregoing methods.

3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser as of the date hereof as follows (which representations and warranties are supplemented by the Company’s filings (collectively, the “Exchange Act Filings”) made pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), public access to copies of such filings having been made available to the Purchaser):

3.1 Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has the corporate power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets, to execute and deliver (i) this Agreement, (ii) the Shares and the Warrant, (iii) the Registration Rights Agreement relating to the Shares and Warrant Shares dated as of the date hereof between the Company and the Purchaser (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Registration Rights Agreement”), and (iv) any other agreements related to this Agreement and the Securities and referred to herein (the preceding clauses (ii) through (iv), collectively, the “Related Agreements”); to issue and sell the Securities; to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the Related Agreements; and to carry on its business as presently conducted. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, in all jurisdictions in which the nature of its activities and of its properties (both owned and leased) makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which failure to do so has not, or could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities, condition (financial

or otherwise), properties or operations of the Company and it Subsidiaries, taken individually and as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

3.2 Subsidiaries. Each direct and indirect Subsidiary of the Company, the direct owner of such Subsidiary and its percentage ownership thereof, is set forth on Schedule 3.2. For the purpose of this Agreement, a “Subsidiary” of any person or entity means (i) a corporation or other entity whose shares of stock or other ownership interests having ordinary voting power (other than stock or other ownership interests having such power only by reason of the happening of a contingency) to elect a majority of the directors of such corporation, or other persons or entities performing similar functions for such person or entity, are owned, directly or indirectly, by such person or entity or (ii) a corporation or other entity in which such person or entity owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the equity interests at such time.

3.3 Capitalization; Voting Rights.

(a) The authorized capital stock of the Company, as of the date hereof consists of 175,000,000 shares, of which 170,000,000 are shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, 48,766,494 shares of which are issued and outstanding, and 5,000,000 are shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which 100,000 shares have been designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, 35,557 of which shares are issued and outstanding, and 1,000,000 shares have been designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, all of which shares are issued and outstanding. The authorized capital stock of each Subsidiary of the Company is set forth on Schedule 3.3.

(b) Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.3 or as disclosed in any Exchange Act Filings, other than: (i) the shares reserved for issuance under the Company’s stock option plans; and (ii) shares which may be granted pursuant to this Agreement and the Related Agreements, there are no outstanding options, warrants, rights (including conversion or preemptive rights and rights of first refusal), proxy or stockholder agreements, or arrangements or agreements of any kind for the purchase or acquisition from the Company of any of its securities. Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.3 or as disclosed in any Exchange Act Filings, neither the offer, issuance or sale of any of the Securities, nor the consummation of any transaction contemplated hereby will result in a change in the price or number of any securities of the Company outstanding, under anti-dilution or other similar provisions contained in or affecting any such securities.

(c) All issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock: (i) have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable; and (ii) were issued in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws concerning the issuance of securities.

(d) The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the shares of Common Stock are as stated in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation,

including its Certificates of Designation (the “Charter”). The Shares and Warrant Shares have been duly and validly reserved for issuance. When issued in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Company’s Charter, the Shares and Warrant Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will be free of any liens or encumbrances; provided, however, that the Shares and Warrant Shares may be subject to restrictions on transfer under state and/or federal securities laws as set forth herein or as otherwise required by such laws at the time a transfer is proposed.

3.4 Authorization; Binding Obligations. All corporate, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, action on the part of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries (including the respective officers and directors) necessary for the authorization of this Agreement and the Related Agreements, the performance of all obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries hereunder and under the other Related Agreements at the Closing and, the authorization, sale, issuance and delivery of the Securities has been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing. This Agreement and the Related Agreements, when executed and delivered and to the extent it is a party thereto, will be valid and binding obligations of each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries, enforceable against each such person in accordance with their terms, except:

(a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights; and

(b) general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable or legal remedies.

The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with this Agreement and the Related Agreements to which it is a party, and the issuance and sale of the Securities by the Company each pursuant hereto and thereto, will not, with or without the passage of time or giving of notice, result in any such material violation, or be in conflict with or constitute a default under any such term or provision, or result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to the Company, its business or operations or any of its assets or properties.

3.12 Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.12 hereto or as disclosed in any Exchange Act Filings, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, currently threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that prevents the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from entering into this Agreement or the other Related Agreements, or from consummating the transactions

contemplated hereby or thereby, or which has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or any change in the current equity ownership of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor is the Company aware that there is any basis to assert any of the foregoing.

There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries currently pending or which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries intends to initiate.

3.13 Tax Returns and Payments. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has timely filed all tax returns (federal, state and local) required to be filed by it.

To the Company’s knowledge, no employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor any consultant with whom the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has contracted, is in violation of any term of any employment contract, proprietary information agreement or any other agreement relating to the right of any such individual to be employed by, or to contract with, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries because of the nature of the business to be conducted by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and to the Company’s knowledge the continued employment by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of its present employees, and the performance of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ contracts with its independent contractors, will not result in any such violation. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is aware that any of its employees is obligated under any contract (including licenses, covenants or commitments

of any nature) or other agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that would interfere with their duties to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice alleging that any such violation has occurred. Except for employees who have a current effective employment agreement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, no employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has been granted the right to continued employment by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to any material compensation following termination of employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

No governmental orders, permissions, consents, approvals or authorizations are required to be obtained and no registrations or declarations are required to be filed in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any other Related Agreement and the issuance of any of the Securities, except such as has been duly and validly obtained or filed, or with respect to any filings that must be made after the Closing, as will be filed in a timely manner. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has all material franchises, permits, licenses and any similar authority necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted by it, the lack of which could, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has provided the Purchaser with all information requested by the Purchaser in connection with its decision to purchase the Shares and the Warrant, including all information the Company and its Subsidiaries believe is reasonably necessary to make such investment decision. Neither this Agreement, the Related Agreements, the exhibits and schedules hereto and thereto nor any other document delivered by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to the Purchaser or their attorneys or agents in connection herewith or therewith or with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, contain any untrue statement of a material fact nor omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading. Any financial projections and other estimates provided to the Purchaser by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries were based on the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ experience in the industry and on assumptions of fact and opinion as to future events which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, at the date of the issuance of such projections or estimates, believed to be reasonable.

Except as set forth on Schedule 3.21, each SEC Report was, at the time of its filing, in substantial compliance with the requirements of its respective form and none of the SEC Reports, nor the financial statements (and the notes thereto) included in the SEC Reports, as of their respective filing dates, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted 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.

3.22 Listing. The Company’s Common Stock is traded on the NASD Over the Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) and satisfies all requirements for the continuation of such trading. The Company has not received any notice that its Common Stock will be ineligible to trade or that its Common Stock does not meet all requirements for such trading.

3.23 No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Related Agreements to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act which would prevent the Company from selling the Securities pursuant to Rule 506 under the Securities Act, or any applicable exchange-related stockholder approval provisions, nor will the Company or any of its affiliates or Subsidiaries take any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings.

3.24 Stop Transfer. The Securities are restricted securities as of the date of this Agreement. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will issue any stop transfer order or other order impeding the sale and delivery of any of the Securities at such time as the Securities are registered for public sale or an exemption from registration is available, except as required by state and federal securities laws.

3.25 Dilution. The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue the Warrant Shares is binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the Company.

3.26 Patriot Act. The Company certifies that, to the best of Company’s knowledge, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has been designated, and is not owned or controlled, by a “suspected terrorist” as defined in Executive Order 13224. The Company hereby acknowledges that the Purchaser seek to comply with all applicable laws concerning money laundering and related activities. In furtherance of those efforts, the Company hereby represents, warrants and agrees that: (i) none of the cash or property that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will pay or will contribute to the Purchaser has been or shall be derived from, or related to, any activity that is deemed

criminal under United States law; and (ii) no contribution or payment by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to the Purchaser, to the extent that they are within the Company’s and/or its Subsidiaries’ control shall cause the Purchaser to be in violation of the United States Bank Secrecy Act, the United States International Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 or the United States International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001. The Company shall promptly notify the Purchaser if any of these representations ceases to be true and accurate regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Company agrees to provide the Purchaser any additional information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that the Purchaser deem necessary or convenient to ensure compliance with all applicable laws concerning money laundering and similar activities. The Company understands and agrees that if at any time it is discovered that any of the foregoing representations are incorrect, or if otherwise required by applicable law or regulation related to money laundering similar activities, the Purchaser may undertake appropriate actions to ensure compliance with each applicable law or regulation, including but not limited to segregation and/or redemption of the Purchaser’s investment in the Company. The Company further understands that the Purchaser may release confidential information about the Company and its Subsidiaries and, if applicable, any underlying beneficial owners, to proper authorities if the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, determines that it is in the best interests of the Purchaser in light of relevant rules and regulations under the laws set forth in subsection (ii) above.

4.3 Purchaser Bears Economic Risk. The Purchaser has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company so that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its own interests.

The Purchaser represents that by reason of its, or of its management’s, business and financial experience, the Purchaser has the capacity to evaluate the merits and risks of its investment in the Securities and to protect its own interests in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and the Related Agreements. Further, the Purchaser is aware of no publication of any advertisement in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Agreement or the Related Agreements.

STATEMENT UNDER SUCH SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO BIO-KEY INTERNATIONAL, INC. THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

5. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees with the Purchaser as follows:

5.1 Stop-Orders. The Company will advise the Purchaser promptly after it receives notice of issuance by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), any state securities commission or any other regulatory authority of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending any offering of any securities of the Company, or of the suspension of the qualification of the Common Stock of the Company for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any such purpose.

5.2 Trading. The Company shall promptly secure the trading of the Shares and Warrant Shares on the OTCBB (the “Principal Market”) upon which shares of Common Stock are traded (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain such trading so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so traded.
