By signing below, I understand and agree that:

I previously received the Aware, Inc. Offer to Exchange Certain Outstanding Stock Options for New Options Under Aware’s 2023 Equity and Incentive Plan, dated January 19, 2024 (the “Offer to Exchange”) and the Election Form. I completed, signed and returned the Election Form, thereby electing to exchange all or a portion of my eligible option grants, as indicated therein, for New Options. I now wish to withdraw my tendered option grants from the exchange offer. I understand that by signing this Withdrawal Form and delivering it to Aware pursuant to the instructions above, I elect to reject the exchange offer with respect to my eligible options as indicated herein.

By withdrawing my election, I understand that I will not receive New Options in exchange for the options withdrawn from the exchange offer, and will continue to hold the options withdrawn from the exchange offer, which will continue to be governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable existing stock option agreement(s) between Aware and me. The withdrawal of my eligible options is at my own discretion.

I understand that if I wish to change this withdrawal with respect to my eligible options and once again accept the exchange offer for all of my eligible option grants, I must submit a new Election Form that must be received by Aware prior to the expiration of the exchange offer, which is currently February 20, 2024.
