NOTICE TO CHANGE ELECTION FROM ACCEPT TO REJECT
 
I received, signed and returned the Election Form, in which I elected to accept the offer of Interlink Electronics, Inc. (“Interlink”) to exchange some of or all of my options for new options (the “Offer”). I now wish to change that election and reject the Offer to exchange my options. I have read the instructions attached to this notice. I understand that by signing this Notice and delivering it to Michelle Lockard by 5:00 p.m., Pacific time on August 7, 2002, I will withdraw my acceptance of the Offer and reject the Offer to exchange options instead.

I understand that by rejecting the Offer to exchange options, I will not receive any new options pursuant to the Offer and I will keep the options that I have. These options will continue to be governed by the stock option plan under which they were granted and by the existing option agreements between Interlink and me.
 
I understand that I may change this election, and once again accept the Offer to exchange options, only by submitting a new Election Form to Michelle Lockard via hand delivery or facsimile (fax # (805) 484-8989) prior to 5:00 p.m., Pacific time on August 7, 2002.
