INSTRUCTIONS TO THE ELECTION FORM

FORMING PART OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER

1. Delivery of Election Form.

A properly completed and signed original of this election form (or a facsimile of it) must be received by Jacqueline Snider in the Legal Department, at fax number (856) 374-5520, or by delivering it by hand to Jacqueline Snider in the Legal Department at Metrologic Instruments, Inc., 90 Coles Road, Blackwood, NJ 08012-4683 on or before 9:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 19, 2006, or such later date if the offer is extended (referred to as the expiration date).

The delivery of all required documents, including election forms, is at your risk. Delivery will be deemed made only when actually received by Metrologic. You may fax the completed form to Jacqueline Snider in the Legal Department at fax number (856) 374-5520 or hand deliver it to Jacqueline Snider in the Legal Department, Metrologic Instruments, Inc., 90 Coles Road, Blackwood, NJ 08012-4683 by 9:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on December 19, 2006, or such later date if the offer is extended. In all cases, you should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery. We intend to confirm the receipt of your election form by e-mail within two U.S. business days. If you have not received such an e-mail confirmation, it is your responsibility to ensure that your election form has been received by December 19, 2006, or such later date if the offer is extended. Only responses that are completed, signed, and actually received by Jacqueline Snider in the Legal Department by the deadline will be accepted. Responses submitted by any other means, including interoffice or U.S. mail or other post and Federal Express are not permitted.

Our receipt of your election form is not by itself an acceptance of your Eligible Options for purchase. For purposes of the offer, we will be deemed to have accepted Eligible Options for purchase that are validly tendered and not properly withdrawn as of when we give oral or written notice to the option holders generally of our acceptance for purchase of such Eligible Options, which notice may be made by press release, e-mail or other method of communication. Payment of the cash amount pursuant to the offer will also be deemed to be acceptance of tendered Eligible Options.

Metrologic will not accept any alternative, conditional or contingent tenders. Although it is our intent to send you an e-mail confirmation of receipt of this election form, by signing this election form, you waive any right to receive any notice of the receipt of the tender of your Eligible Options, except as provided for in the offer to purchase. Any confirmation of receipt sent to you will merely be a notification that we have received your election form and does not mean that your Eligible Options have been accepted for purchase. Your Eligible Options that are accepted for purchase will be cancelled on the same U.S. business day as the expiration of the offer, which expiration is scheduled to be December 19, 2006, but may be extended.

2. Withdrawal and Additional Tenders.

Tenders of Eligible Options made through the offer may be withdrawn at any time before 9:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 19, 2006, or such later date if the offer is extended. If Metrologic extends the offer beyond that time, you may withdraw your tendered Eligible Options at any time until the expiration of the extended offer. In addition, although Metrologic currently intends to accept your validly tendered Eligible Options promptly after the expiration of the offer, if we have not accepted your Eligible Options by January 19, 2007, you may withdraw your tendered Eligible Options at any time thereafter. To withdraw tendered Eligible Options you must deliver a signed and dated withdrawal form, with the required

information, by faxing it to Jacqueline Snider in the Legal Department, at fax number (856) 374-5520, or by delivering it by hand to Jacqueline Snider in the Legal Department at Metrologic Instruments, Inc., 90 Coles Road, Blackwood, NJ 08012-4683 while you still have the right to withdraw the tendered Eligible Options. You may not rescind any withdrawal and any Eligible Options withdrawn will be deemed not properly tendered for purposes of the offer, unless you properly re-elect to tender those Eligible Options before the expiration date. To re-elect to tender your withdrawn Eligible Options, you must submit a new election form to Jacqueline Snider in the Legal Department, at fax number (856) 374-5520, or by delivering it by hand to Jacqueline Snider in the Legal Department, at Metrologic Instruments, Inc., 90 Coles Road, Blackwood, NJ 08012-4683 before the expiration date by following the procedures described in these instructions. Your new election form must include the required information regarding all of the Eligible Options you want to tender and must be signed and clearly dated after the date of your original election form and any withdrawal form you have submitted. Upon the receipt of such a new, properly filled out, signed and dated election form, any previously submitted election form or withdrawal form will be disregarded and will be considered replaced in full by the new election form. You will be bound by the last properly submitted election form or withdrawal form we receive prior to the expiration date.

3. Tenders.

If you intend to tender Eligible Options through the offer, you must tender all of your Eligible Options.

You may not pick and choose which of your Eligible Options you wish to tender. If you have exercised a portion of an Eligible Option, your election will apply to the portion that remains outstanding and unexercised.

4. Signatures on this Election Form.

If this election form is signed by the holder of the Eligible Options, the signature must correspond with the name as written on the face of the option agreement or agreements to which the Eligible Options are subject without alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever. If your name has been legally changed since your option agreement was signed, please submit proof of the legal name change.

If this election form is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, that person should so indicate when signing, and proper evidence satisfactory to Metrologic of the authority of that person to act in that capacity must be submitted with this election form.

7. Irregularities.

We will determine, in our discretion, all questions as to the form of documents and the validity, form, eligibility, including time of receipt, and acceptance of any Eligible Options. Our determination of these matters will be final and binding on all parties. We reserve the right to reject any election form or any tendered Eligible Options that we determine are not in appropriate form or that we determine are unlawful to accept. We will accept all properly tendered Eligible Options that are not validly withdrawn. We also reserve the right to waive

3

any of the conditions of the offer or any defect or irregularity in any tender of any particular Eligible Options or for any particular option holder, provided that if we grant any such waiver, it will be granted with respect to all option holders and tendered Eligible Options. No tender of Eligible Options will be deemed to have been properly made until all defects or irregularities have been cured by the tendering option holder or waived by us. Neither we nor any other person is obligated to give notice of any defects or irregularities in tenders, nor will anyone incur any liability for failure to give any notice. This is a one-time offer, and we will strictly enforce the election period, subject only to an extension that we may grant in our discretion.

Important: The election form (or a facsimile copy of it) together with all other required documents must be received by Jacqueline Snider in the Legal Department, by fax (fax number (856) 374-5520), or by hand delivery to Jacqueline Snider in the Legal Department at Metrologic Instruments, Inc., 90 Coles Road, Blackwood, NJ 08012-4683, on or before 9:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 19, 2006, or such later date if the offer is extended.
