Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned hereby tenders to Socket Mobile, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Socket Mobile”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in its Offer to Purchase, dated February 2, 2018, and the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer”), receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the number of shares of common stock of Socket Mobile, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), listed below, pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase.

Number of Shares to be tendered: _________ Shares

THE UNDERSIGNED IS TENDERING SHARES AS FOLLOWS (CHECK ONLY ONE BOX):

(1) AUCTION PRICE TENDER—SHARES TENDERED AT PRICE DETERMINED BY STOCKHOLDER

By checking ONE of the following boxes INSTEAD OF THE BOX BELOW UNDER “Purchase Price Tender—Shares Tendered at Price Determined Under the Offer,” the undersigned hereby tenders Shares at the price checked. This action could result in none of the Shares being purchased if the Final Purchase Price determined by Socket Mobile for the Shares is less than the price checked below. A stockholder desiring to tender Shares at more than one price must complete a separate Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and/or Letter of Transmittal for each price at which Shares are tendered. The same Shares cannot be tendered at more than one price, unless previously properly withdrawn as provided in Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase.

[_] $3.75	[_] $3.95	[_] $4.15
[_] $3.80	[_] $4.00	[_] $4.20
[_] $3.85	[_] $4.05	[_] $4.25
[_] $3.90	[_] $4.10

 
OR

(2) PURCHASE PRICE TENDER—SHARES TENDERED AT PRICE DETERMINED BY STOCKHOLDER DETERMINED UNDER THE OFFER

By checking the box below INSTEAD OF ONE OF THE BOXES ABOVE UNDER “Auction Price Tender—Shares Tendered at Price Determined by Stockholder,” the undersigned hereby tenders Shares at the Final Purchase Price as shall be determined by Socket Mobile in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

[_] The undersigned wants to maximize the chance that Socket Mobile will accept for payment all of the Shares the undersigned is tendering (subject to the possibility of proration). Accordingly, by checking this box instead of one of the price boxes above, the undersigned hereby tenders Shares at, and is willing to accept, the Final Purchase Price determined by Socket Mobile in accordance with the terms of the Offer. The undersigned understands that this action will result in the undersigned’s Shares being deemed to be tendered at the minimum price of $3.75 per Share for purposes of determining the Final Purchase Price. This may effectively lower the Final Purchase Price and could result in the undersigned receiving a per Share price as low as $3.75.

CHECK ONE, AND ONLY ONE, BOX UNDER (1) OR (2) ABOVE. IF MORE THAN ONE BOX IS CHECKED ABOVE, THERE IS NO VALID TENDER OF SHARES. IF NO BOX IS CHECKED, YOU WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE A PURCHASE PRICE TENDER.

ODD LOTS

(See Section 6 of the Letter of Transmittal)

To be completed ONLY if Shares are being tendered by or on behalf of a person owning, beneficially or of record, as of the close of business on the date set forth on the signature page hereto, and who continues to own, beneficially or of record, as of the Expiration Date, an aggregate of fewer than 100 Shares.

The undersigned either (check one box):

[_] is the beneficial or record owner of an aggregate of fewer than 100 Shares, all of which are being tendered; or

[_] is a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee that (a) is tendering for the beneficial owner(s), Shares with respect to which it is the record holder, and (b) believes, based upon representations made to it by the beneficial owner(s), that each such person is the beneficial owner of an aggregate of fewer than 100 Shares and is tendering all of the Shares beneficially owned by each such person.

In addition, the undersigned is tendering Shares either (check one box):

[_] at the purchase price as shall be determined by Socket Mobile in accordance with the terms of the Offer (persons checking this box need not indicate the price per Share); or

[_] at the price per Share indicated above under the caption “Auction Price Tender—Shares Tendered at Price Determined by Stockholder.”

Additionally, check the box below if applicable:

CONDITIONAL TENDER

(See Section 7 of the Letter of Transmittal)

A stockholder may tender Shares subject to the condition that a specified minimum number of the stockholder’s Shares tendered pursuant to the Letter of Transmittal must be purchased if any Shares tendered are purchased, all as described in the Offer to Purchase, particularly in Section 6 thereof. Unless at least the minimum number of Shares you indicate below is purchased by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Offer, none of the Shares tendered by you will be purchased. It is the tendering stockholder’s responsibility to calculate the minimum number of Shares that must be purchased from the stockholder in order for the stockholder to qualify for sale or exchange (rather than distribution) treatment for United States federal income tax purposes. Stockholders are urged to consult with their own tax advisors before completing this section. Unless this box has been checked and a minimum specified, the tender will be deemed unconditional.

[_] The minimum number of Shares that must be purchased, if any are purchased, from me/us is: ____________ Shares.

If, because of proration, the minimum number of Shares designated will not be purchased, Socket Mobile may accept conditional tenders by random lot, if necessary. However, to be eligible for purchase by random lot, the tendering stockholder must have tendered all of his or her Shares and checked this box:

[_] The tendered Shares represent all Shares held by the undersigned.
