3.

Experience of Purchaser.  Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment.  Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

4.

Ownership.  Purchaser is acquiring the Shares as principal for its own account.  Purchaser is acquiring the Shares hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.  

5.

IV.

Securities Provisions.

A.

Registration Statements and Prospectuses.  Company hereby represents and warrants to, and as applicable covenants with, Purchaser as follows:

1.

The offer and sale of the Shares are being made pursuant to the Registration Statement.  Company will use its best efforts to file and cause to become effective any required post-effective amendment or prospectus supplement on or prior to the Announcement Date.  Company will use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to remain effective for at least 181 days after the Purchase Closing in order for the Company to have the ability to issue dividends in shares of the Company’s common stock under the Certificate of Designations.  Company may convert the Registration Statement from Form S-3 to Form S-1.    

2.

The Registration Statement complied when it became effective, and, as amended or supplemented, at the time of the Purchase Closing, or issuance of any Shares, and at all times during which a prospectus is required by the Act to be delivered in connection with any sale of Shares, will comply, in all material respects, with the requirements of the Act.

3.

Each Registration Statement, Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement, as of its respective effective time, will not, as applicable, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

4.

Each Prospectus will comply, as of its date and the date filed with the Commission, and at the time of the Purchase Closing, or issuance of any Shares, and at all times during which a prospectus is required by the Act to be delivered in connection with any sale of Shares, will comply, in all material respects, with the requirements of the Act.

5.

At no time during the period that begins on the date a Prospectus is filed with the Commission and ends at the time a Prospectus is no longer required by the Act to be delivered in connection with any sale of Shares will any such Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and at no time during such period will such Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

6.

The Registration Statement meets, and the offering and sale of the Shares as contemplated hereby will comply with, the requirements of Rule 415 under the Act.

7.

Company will not, directly or indirectly, use or refer to any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Act) except in compliance with Rules 164 and 433 under the Act.

8.

Company will not be an “ineligible issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Act) as of the eligibility determination date for purposes of Rules 164 and 433 under the Act with respect to the offering of the Shares contemplated by any Registration Statement that is filed, without taking into account any determination by the Commission pursuant to Rule 405 under the Act that it is not necessary under the circumstances that Company be considered an “ineligible issuer.”

9.

Company will notify Purchaser (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than 1 Trading Day prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one Trading Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed; (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement; and (C) with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Shares or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the






                                                                                                                                              Page 8






financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of a Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (vi) the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company believes may be material and that, in the determination of the Company, makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow continued availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus; provided that any and all of such information shall remain confidential to Purchaser until such information otherwise becomes public, unless disclosure by Purchaser is required by law; provided, further, notwithstanding Purchaser’s agreement to keep such information confidential, Purchaser makes no acknowledgement that any such information is material, non-public information. The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable.  

B.

Purchaser Due Diligence.  Purchaser will have the right and opportunity to conduct customary due diligence with respect to any Registration Statement or Prospectus in which the name of Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser appears. 

C.

Prospectus Availability and Changes.  Company will make available to Purchaser upon request, and thereafter from time to time will furnish Purchaser, as many copies of any Prospectus, or of the Prospectus as amended or supplemented if Company will have made any amendments or supplements thereto after the Execution Date of the Registration Statement, as Purchaser may request for the purposes contemplated by the Act; and in case Purchaser is required to deliver a prospectus after the nine-month period referred to in Section 10(a)(3) of the Act in connection with the sale of the

Shares

, or after the time a post-effective amendment to the applicable Registration Statement is required pursuant to Item 512(a) of Regulation S-K under the Act, Company will prepare, at its expense, promptly upon request such amendment or amendments to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as may be necessary to permit compliance with the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Item 512(a) of Regulation S-K under the Act, as the case may be.

D.

Updates.  Company will advise Purchaser promptly of the happening of any event within the time during which a Prospectus is required to be delivered under the Act which could require the making of any change in the Prospectus then being used so that the Prospectus would not include an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, and to advise Purchaser promptly if, during such period, it will become necessary to amend or supplement any Prospectus to cause such Prospectus to comply with the requirements of the Act, and in each case, during such time, to prepare and furnish, at Company’s expense, to Purchaser promptly such amendments or supplements to such Prospectus as may be necessary to reflect any such change or to effect such compliance.

E.

Furnishing of Information.  As long as Purchaser owns any Shares, Company covenants to timely file, or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period, all reports required to be filed by Company after the Execution Date pursuant to the Exchange Act.  As long as Purchaser owns any Shares, if Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish to Purchaser and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for Purchaser to sell the Shares under Rule 144.  Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Shares may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell such Shares without registration under the Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.

F.

Integration.  Company will not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security, as defined in Section 2 of the Act, that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares in a manner that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares to Purchaser for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require stockholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless stockholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

G.

Disclosure and Publicity.  Company and Purchaser will consult with each other in issuing any press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither Company nor Purchaser will issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of Company, with respect to any

such

press release of Purchaser, or without the prior consent of Purchaser, with respect to any

such

press release of Company, which consent will not unreasonably

be

withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the disclosing party will promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company will not publicly disclose the name of Purchaser, or include the name of Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, except to the extent such disclosure is required by the Act, Exchange Act or Trading Market regulations, in which case Company will provide Purchaser with prior notice of such disclosure.






                                                                                                                                              Page 9









H.

Shareholders Rights Plan.  No claim will be made or enforced by Company or, to the knowledge of Company, any other Person that Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any shareholders rights plan or similar plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by Company, or that Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Shares under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between Company and Purchaser. Company will conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

I.

No Non-Public Information.  Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf will, provide Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that Company believes or reasonably should believe constitutes material non-public information.  On and after the Announcement Date, neither Purchaser nor any Affiliate of Purchaser will have any duty of trust or confidence that is owed directly, indirectly, or derivatively, to Company or the stockholders of Company, or to any other Person who is the source of material non-public information regarding Company.  Company understands and confirms that Purchaser will be relying on the foregoing in effecting transactions in securities of Company, including without limitation sales of the Shares.

J.

Indemnification of Purchaser.

1.

Obligation to Indemnify.  Subject to the provisions of this Section IV.J, Company will indemnify and hold Purchaser, its Affiliates, and each of their directors, officers, shareholders, partners, employees, agents and attorneys, and any person who controls Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, “Purchaser Parties” and each a “Purchaser Party”), harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, reasonable costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation (collectively, “Losses”) that any Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents, (b) any action instituted against any Purchaser Party, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of Company who is not an Affiliate of a Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, unless such action is based upon a breach of Purchaser’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings Purchaser may have with any such stockholder or any violations by Purchaser of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by Purchaser which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance, (c)  any untrue statement

or alleged untrue statement

of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, or in a Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by Company, or arising out of or based upon any omission

or alleged omission

to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (d) any untrue statement

or alleged untrue statement

of a material fact included in any Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements to any Prospectus, in any free writing prospectus, in any “issuer information” as defined in Rule 433 under the Act, of Company, or in any Prospectus

 together with any combination of one or more of the  free writing prospectuses, if any, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (e) any

Purchaser Party becoming involved in any capacity in any proceeding by or against any Person who is a stockholder of Company, except as a result of sales, pledges, margin sales and similar transactions by Purchaser to or with any current stockholder, solely as a result of Purchaser’s acquisition of the Shares under this Agreement

; provided, however, that Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any Purchaser Party for any Losses finally adjudicated to be caused solely by a false statement of material fact contained within written information provided by such Purchaser Party expressly for the purpose of including it in the applicable Registration Statement.





2.

Procedure for Indemnification.  If any action will be brought against a Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party will promptly notify Company in writing, and Company will have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing.  Purchaser Parties will have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of Purchaser Parties except to the extent that (a) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by Company in writing, (b) Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (c) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict

with respect to the dispute in question

on any material issue between the position of Company and the position of

 Purchaser Parties such that it would be inappropriate for one counsel to represent Company and

 Purchaser Parties.  Company will not be liable to Purchaser Parties under this Agreement (i) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without Company’s prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is

either

attributable to Purchaser’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by Purchaser in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.






                                                                                                                                              Page 10









3.



No Purchaser Party will have any liability to Company or any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of Company solely as a result of acquiring the

Shares

under this Agreement.



K.

Reservation of Shares.  Company shall use best efforts to increase, as soon as practicable, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to reserve all shares of Common Stock potentially issuable upon conversion or redemption of the Preferred Shares.  Thereafter, Company will maintain a reserve from its duly authorized Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents.  

L.

Activity Restrictions.  For so long as Purchaser or any of its Affiliates holds any Shares, neither Purchaser nor any Affiliate will:  (i) vote any shares of Common Stock owned or controlled by it, solicit any proxies, or seek to advise or influence any Person with respect to any voting securities of Company; (ii) engage or participate in any actions, plans or proposals which relate to or would result in (a) acquiring additional securities of Company, alone or together with any other Person, which would result in beneficially owning or controlling more than 9.99% of the total outstanding Common Stock or other voting securities of Company, (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving Company or any of its subsidiaries, (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of Company or any of its subsidiaries, (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board, (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of Company, (f) any other material change in Company’s business or corporate structure, including but not limited to, if Company is a registered closed-end investment company, any plans or proposals to make any changes in its investment policy for which a vote is required by Section 13 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, (g) changes in Company’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of Company by any Person, (h) causing a class of securities of Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, (i) a class of equity securities of Company becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant  to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act, or (j) any action, intention, plan or arrangement similar to any of those enumerated above; or (iii) request Company or its directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives to amend or waive any provision of this section.

M.

No Shorting.  Purchaser will not engage in or effect, directly or indirectly, any Short Sale that results in a net short position of the Common Stock within one year of the Execution Date.

N.

Variable Rate Transaction.  Until the three month anniversary of the Purchase Closing, Company and each Subsidiary shall be prohibited from discussing, negotiating, effecting or entering into an agreement, plan, arrangement or understanding to effect any transaction with a third party other than Purchaser or its Affiliates in which the Company or any Subsidiary (i) issues or sells, agrees to issue or sell, or may issue or sell, any Common Stock or security convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock, either (a) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon or varies with the trading prices of, or quotations for, the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such securities, or (b) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such securities, or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock, or (ii) enters into any agreement (including, without limitation, an “equity line of credit” or an “at the market offering”) whereby the Company or any Subsidiary issues or sells, agrees to issue or sell, or may issue or sell, any Common Stock or other security at a future determined price. 

V.

B.

Amendments; Waivers.  No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by Company and Purchaser or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought.  No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement will be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor will any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

C.

Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.  Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.  Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement (a) to any Affiliate, or (b) to any Person to whom Purchaser assigns or transfers any Shares, provided such transferee agrees to be bound by the provisions hereof with respect to the transferred Shares and Purchaser remains primarily responsible for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

D.

No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section IV.J.

E.

Fees and Expenses.  Company will pay the reasonable fees and costs of Purchaser’s counsel incurred in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the Purchase Closing, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, in an amount not to exceed $15,000.00.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each party will pay the fees and expenses of its own advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents.  Company acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser’s counsel solely represents Purchaser, and does not represent Company or its interests in connection with the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.  Company will pay all stamp and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the sale of the Shares, if any.

F.

Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, will incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

G.

Replacement

of

Certificates.  If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, Company will issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested.  The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances will also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement certificates.

H.

Governing Law.  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law that would require or permit the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.  The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury.  If either party will commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding will be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.






                                                                                                                                              Page 12









I.

Arbitration.  Any dispute, controversy, claim or action of any kind arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or in any way involving Company and Purchaser or their respective Affiliates, will be resolved by final and binding arbitration before a retired judge at JAMS (www.jamsadr.com), or its successor, in Santa Monica, California, pursuant to its most Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures and the Final Offer (or Baseball) Arbitration Option.  Any interim or final award may be entered and enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction.  The final award will include the prevailing party’s reasonable arbitration, expert witness and attorney fees, costs and expenses.

J.

Remedies.  In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of Purchaser and Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents, and injunctive relief to prevent any actual or threatened breach under the Transaction Documents, to the full extent permitted under federal and state securities laws.

K.

Payment Set Aside.  To the extent that Company makes a payment or payments to Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law, including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action, then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied will be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
L.



Headings.  The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and will not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

M.

Time of the Essence.  Time is of the essence with respect to all provisions of this Agreement that specify a time for performance.

N.

Survival.  The representations and warranties contained herein will survive the Purchase Closing and the delivery of the Shares until all Preferred Shares issued to Purchaser or any Affiliate have been converted or redeemed.

O.



Construction.



 The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party will not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto.

 The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

P.

Execution.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by portable document format, facsimile or electronic transmission, such signature will create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

Q.

Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the Exhibits

hereto which are incorporated herein by reference, contains

 the entire agreement and understanding of the parties, and supersedes

 all prior and contemporaneous agreements, term sheets, letters, discussions, communications and

 understandings, both oral and written,

 which the parties acknowledge have been merged into this Agreement.  No party, representative, attorney or agent

 has relied upon any collateral contract, agreement, assurance, promise, understanding or representation not expressly set forth hereinabove.  The parties hereby expressly waive all rights and remedies, at law and in equity, directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to, or which may arise as a result of, any Person’s reliance on any such assurance.








                                                                                                                                              Page 13

Stock Splits.

Re:

PositiveID Corporation




Ladies and Gentlemen:




In accordance with the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”), dated January 13, 2012, by and between PositiveID Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Company”), and Ironridge Technology Co., a division of Ironridge Global IV, Ltd., a British Virgin Islands business company (“Purchaser”), pursuant to which Company may issue and deliver shares (“Shares”) of Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) upon conversion of shares of Series H Preferred Stock, this will serve as our irrevocable authorization and direction to you (provided that you are the transfer agent of Company at such time), in the event the Company or the Purchaser issues a Conversion Notice to issue the Shares.  Capitalized terms used herein without definition will have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.




Upon your receipt of a copy of the Notice executed by the Company, you will use your best efforts to, within one (1) Trading Day following the date of receipt of the Conversion Notice, (a) issue and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address as specified in the notice of exercise a certificate, registered in the name of the Purchaser or its designee, for the number of Shares to which the Purchaser is entitled upon conversion of as set forth in the notice, or (b) provided you are participating in The Depository Trust Company (DTC) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (FAST) Program, upon the request of the Purchaser, credit such aggregate number of Shares to which the Purchaser is entitled to the Purchaser’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian (DWAC) system provided the Purchaser causes its bank or broker to initiate the DWAC transaction.   




Company hereby confirms that the Shares should not be subject to any stop-transfer restrictions and will otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of Company.  If the Shares are certificated, the certificates will not bear any legend restricting transfer of the shares represented thereby.




Company hereby confirms that no instructions other than as contemplated herein will be given to you by Company with respect to the Shares. Company hereby agrees that it will not replace you as Company’s transfer agent, until such time as Company provides written notice to you and Purchaser that a suitable replacement has agreed to serve as transfer agent and to be bound by the terms and conditions of this letter agreement regarding Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions (this “Agreement”).




Company and you hereby acknowledge and confirm that complying with the terms of this Agreement does not and will not prohibit you from satisfying any and all fiduciary responsibilities and duties you may owe to Company.  




Company must keep its bill current with you – if Company is not current and is on suspension, the Purchaser will have the right to pay Company’s outstanding bill, in order for you to act upon this Agreement. If the outstanding bill is not paid by Company or the Purchaser, you have no further obligation under this Agreement.




IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this letter agreement regarding Transfer Agent Instructions to be duly executed and delivered as of the date first written above.

Exhibit 4



Form of Legal Opinion






We are counsel to PositiveID Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Company”), in connection with the sale and issuance of shares (“Preferred Shares”) of Company’s Series H Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Preferred Stock”), convertible into shares (“Common Shares”) of Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) to Ironridge Technology Co., a division of Ironridge Global IV, Ltd., a British Virgin Islands business company (“Purchaser”), (the Preferred Shares and Common Shares, collectively, “Shares”) pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of January 13, 2012 (“Agreement”, and collectively with all documents and agreements related to or arising from the Agreement, the “Transaction Documents”), by and between Company and Purchaser.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Transaction Documents.

We are of the opinion that, as of the date hereof:

1.

Company is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. 

2.

The Shares are duly authorized and, when issued in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement will be, legally and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  The issuance of the Shares will not be subject to any statutory or, to our knowledge, contractual preemptive rights of any stockholder of Company.

3.

Company has the corporate power and authority to (a) execute, deliver and perform all of its obligations under the Agreement and the Transaction Documents, and (b) issue, sell and deliver the Shares.

4.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement and the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Company, and have been duly executed and delivered by Company. 

5.

Upon execution and delivery of the Agreement, the Agreement will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of Company, enforceable against Company in accordance with its terms.

6.

The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by Company does not, and Company’s performance of its obligations thereunder will not (a) violate the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Amended and Restated By-Laws of Company, as in effect on the date hereof, (b) violate in any material respect any federal or state law, rule or regulation, or judgment, order or decree of any state or federal court or governmental or administrative authority, in each case that, to our knowledge, is applicable to Company or its properties or assets and which could have a material adverse effect on Company’s business, properties, assets, financial condition or results of operations or prevent the performance by Company of any material obligation under the Agreement, or (c) to our knowledge, require the authorization, consent, approval of or other action of, notice to or filing or qualification with, any state or federal governmental authority, except (i) as have been, or will be prior to the Closing, duly obtained or made, or (ii) to the extent failure to be so obtained or made would not have a material adverse effect on Company or its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated under the Agreement. 

7.

To our knowledge, there is no claim, action, suit, proceeding, arbitration, investigation or inquiry, pending or threatened, before any court or governmental or administrative body or agency, or any private arbitration tribunal, against Company that challenges the validity or enforceability of, or seeks to enjoin the performance of, the Agreement. 

8.

Company is not, and immediately after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement will not be, an investment company within the meaning of Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 

9.

The Registration Statement filed with the Commission (File No. 333-165849), which registers the sale of the Shares to Purchaser was effective on April 12, 2010 and is effective as of the date hereof. 

In addition to the opinions above, nothing has come to our attention that has caused us to believe that the Registration Statement, as of its effective date, or the Prospectus Supplement, as of its date or the date of its letter (in each case, except as to the financial statements, schedules, notes, other financial and accounting data, and statistical data, included therein or derived therefrom, as to which we express no opinion or belief), contained any untrue statement of material fact, or failed to state a material fact necessary in order to make the facts stated therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.
