This Offer expires at 5:00 p.m., Pacific Time, on July 1, 2010, unless extended. PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ATTACHED TO THIS FORM. The New Options will be unvested as of the New Option Grant Date and will be subject to a new vesting schedule based on the remaining vesting period of each of your Exchanged Options, regardless of whether your Exchanged Options were wholly or partially vested. If an Exchanged Option is fully vested on the Cancellation Date, the New Option will be subject to an additional twenty-four (24) months of vesting. If an Exchanged Option is not fully vested as of the Cancellation Date, the New Option will be subject to an additional number of months of vesting equal to the longer of (x) two (2) years from the New Option Grant Date and (y) the period commencing on the New Option Grant Date and ending on the date one (1) year after the original vesting completion date of the Exchanged Option. If an Exchanged Option is fully vested on the Cancellation Date, or your New Option is subject to the additional number of months of vesting pursuant to (x) above, then your New Option will vest in equal monthly installments on the same day of each month as the New Option Grant Date, subject to your continued service to Socket Mobile through each relevant vesting date. If an Exchanged Option is not fully vested on the Cancellation Date and the New Option is subject to the additional number of months of vesting pursuant to (y) above, then the New Option will vest on the same day of each month as the original vesting completion date, subject to your continued service to Socket Mobile through each relevant vesting date. As a result, if your service with us terminates (for any reason or no reason) before your New Options are fully vested, the unvested portion of your New Options will expire, and you will not be able to exercise that portion of your New Options.

APPENDIX 2

SOCKET MOBILE, INC.

AGREEMENT TO TERMS OF ELECTION

BY PARTICIPATING, YOU AGREE TO ALL TERMS OF THE OFFER AS SET FORTH IN THE OFFERING DOCUMENTS.

All terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Offer to Exchange Certain Outstanding Stock Options for New Stock Options, dated June 3, 2010 (the "Offer to Exchange").

By electing to exchange my Eligible Options, I understand and agree to all of the following:

1. I hereby agree to exchange my Eligible Options for New Options as indicated on the Election Form in accordance with the terms of the Offer as set forth in the Offer to Exchange, dated June 3, 2010, of which I hereby acknowledge receipt. This Offer will remain open until 5:00 p.m. on July 1, 2010 unless extended. Each Eligible Option indicated on the Election Form is expected to be cancelled on July 1, 2010 or, if the Offer is extended, on a new date that will be set when the Offer is extended. The New Options will be granted to me on the same date my Eligible Options are cancelled, expected to be July 1, 2010 in accordance with the terms of the Offer or, if the Offer is extended, on the same date as the new Cancellation Date. The exercise price of the New Options will be the closing price of Socket Mobile's common stock as reported on the NASDAQ stock exchange on the New Option Grant Date.

2. The Offer is currently set to expire at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on July 1, 2010, unless Socket Mobile in its discretion, extends the period of time during which the Offer will remain open.

3. If I cease to be employed by Socket Mobile before New Options are granted in exchange for my Eligible Options, I will not receive any New Options. Instead, I will keep my Eligible Options, and they will continue in accordance with their terms (including remaining exercisable through any applicable post-termination exercise period).

4. Until July 1, 2010, I will have the right to amend the elections that I have made with respect to some or all of my Eligible Options that I elected to exchange, including withdrawing all my tendered Eligible Options from the Offer. However, after that date I will have no ability to amend my election, unless the Offer is extended. The only exception is that if Socket Mobile has not accepted my options by July 27, 2010, I may withdraw my options at any time thereafter. The last properly submitted election prior to the expiration of the Offer shall be binding.

5. The tender of some or all of my Eligible Options will constitute my acceptance of all of the terms and conditions of the Offer. Acceptance by Socket Mobile of my Eligible Options for exchange pursuant to the Offer will constitute a binding agreement between Socket Mobile and me to the terms and conditions of the Offer.

6. I am the registered holder of the Eligible Options that I have tendered, and my name and other information appearing on the Election Form are true and correct.

7. I am not required to tender any of my Eligible Options pursuant to the Offer.

8. Socket Mobile and/or any independent firms hired with respect to the Offer cannot give me legal, tax or investment advice with respect to the Offer, and I have been advised to consult with my own legal, tax and investment advisors as to the consequences of participating in the Offer.

9. Under certain circumstances set forth in the Offer to Exchange, Socket Mobile may terminate or amend the Offer and postpone its acceptance of the Eligible Options I have elected to exchange. Should the Eligible Options I have tendered not be accepted for exchange, such options will continue to be governed by their original terms and conditions.

10. I understand that, if I do not clearly mark the box electing to exchange each of my Eligible Options on the Election Form, such options will not be exchanged.

I understand that neither Socket Mobile nor the Board of Directors of Socket Mobile is making any recommendation as to whether I should accept or refrain from accepting the Offer, and that I must make my own decision whether to tender my Eligible Options, taking into account my own personal circumstances and preferences. I understand that the New Options when granted will be unvested and will vest monthly over a time period of at least 24 months (or longer, as described in the Offer). I understand that I cannot exercise my New Options until they vest. Should my employment with Socket Mobile terminate for any reason or no reason before my New Options vest, I understand that the unvested portion of my New Options will terminate, and I will not be able to exercise that portion of my New Options. I further understand that past and current market prices of Socket Mobile common stock may provide little or no basis for predicting what the market price of Socket Mobile common stock will be when Socket Mobile grants me New Options in exchange for my tendered Eligible Options or at any other time in the future.

Please read the Offer to Exchange; the Instructions; the Election Form; and the Agreement to Terms of Election.
