Dear Rick,

I wish to tender my employee stock options in connection with Aware Inc.'s Offer
to Exchange Outstanding Stock Options Held By Employees. I have completed and
signed an Offer to Exchange Options Election Form. I understand that I must
return my outstanding option agreements if I wish to participate. Upon careful
examination of my records, I have been unable to locate the following stock
option agreements that I am required to tender:

                                    Number of
Grant Date                    Eligible Option Shares
- ----------                    ----------------------





Please let this letter serve as acknowledgement that I desire to tender these
missing option agreements. Furthermore, I acknowledge and understand that if
Aware accepts the tender of my option agreements that these missing option
agreements will be cancelled as if I had returned them to you, and that I will
have no further rights under such agreements.


Very truly yours,




Employee name
