2.

Authorization; Enforcement.  Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each of the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder or thereunder.

4.

Litigation.  There is no action, suit, inquiry, notice of violation, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of Company, threatened against or affecting Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties before or by any court, arbitrator, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority (federal, state, county, local or foreign) (collectively, an “Action”), which could adversely affect or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents or the Shares.

6.

Issuance of Shares.  The Shares are duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the applicable Transaction Documents, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens.  Company has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock a number of shares of Common Stock for issuance of the Shares at least equal to the number of Shares which could be issued pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents.

7.

Registration Statements and Prospectuses.

a.

The offer and sale of the Shares as contemplated hereby complies with the requirements of Rule 415 under the Act.

b.

Company has not, directly or indirectly, used or referred to any “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 under the Act, except in compliance with Rules 164 and 433 under the Act.

Company is not 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 filed or to be 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.”

8.

Disclosure; Non-Public Information.  Except with respect to the information that will be, and to the extent that it actually is timely publicly disclosed by Company pursuant to Section II.C.1, and notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, neither Company nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information, including without limitation this Agreement and the Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules hereto.  No information contained in the Disclosure Schedules constitutes material non-public information.  There is no adverse material information regarding Company that has not been publicly disclosed prior to the Execution Date.  Company understands and confirms that Purchaser will rely on the foregoing representations and covenants in effecting transactions in securities of Company.  All disclosure provided to Purchaser regarding Company, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement, furnished by or on behalf of Company with respect to the representations and warranties made herein are true and correct in all material respects and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

9.

No Integrated Offering,   Neither Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the Shares to be integrated with prior offerings by Company that cause a violation of the Act or any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of the Trading Market.

10.

Financial Condition.    Based on the financial condition of Company as of the date of the Commitment Closing:  (a) the fair saleable market value of Company’s assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature; (b) Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by Company, and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof; and (c) the current cash flow of Company, together with the proceeds Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts are required to be paid.  Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt.  Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances, which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the date of the Commitment Closing.  The Public Reports set forth as of the dates thereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of Company or any Subsidiary, or for which Company or any Subsidiary has commitments.  Neither Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.

11.

Section 5 Compliance.  No representation or warranty or other statement made by Company in the Transaction Documents contains any untrue statement or omits to state a material fact necessary to make any of them, in light of the circumstances in which it was made, not misleading.  Company is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would cause the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, when consummated, to violate Section 5 of the Act or other federal or state securities laws or regulations.

12.

Investment Company.  Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Shares, will not be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  Company will conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment Company Act.






                                                                                                                                                              Page 5

The issuance and sale of the Shares will not obligate Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person, other than Purchaser, and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange, or reset price under such securities.  All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Company are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in material compliance with all federal and state securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities.

As of their respective dates or as subsequently amended, the Public Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, as applicable, and none of the Public Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Neither Company nor any Subsidiary, nor to the knowledge of Company any director or officer thereof, is or has been the subject of any Action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty.  There has not been, and to the knowledge of Company, there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the Commission involving Company or any current or former director or officer of Company. 






                                                                                                                                                              Page 6

7.

Compliance.  
Neither Company nor any Subsidiary (a) is in material default under or in material violation of (and no event has occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default by Company or any Subsidiary under), nor has Company or any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in material default under or that it is in material violation of, any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other similar agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound (whether or not such default or violation has been waived), (b) is in violation of any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body, or (c) is or has been in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority, including without limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws applicable to its business except in each case as could not have a Material Adverse Effect. 
8.

Regulatory Permits.  Company and each Subsidiary possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the Public Reports, except where the failure to possess such permits could not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (“Material Permits”), and neither Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit.

9.

Title to Assets.  Company and each Subsidiary have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them that is material to the business of Company and each Subsidiary and good and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to the business of Company and each Subsidiary, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for Liens that do not materially affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by Company and each Subsidiary and Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, the payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties.

To Company’s knowledge, such insurance contracts and policies are accurate and complete in all material respects.

There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of Company know of no basis for any such claim.

The execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary company or similar action on the part of Purchaser.  Each Transaction Document, including any promissory note issued by the Purchaser, to which it is a party has been, or will be, duly executed by Purchaser, and when delivered by Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except (a) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (b) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, and (c) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

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.

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 90 days after the Notice Date.  

2.

The Registration Statement complied when it became effective, and, as amended or supplemented, at the time of any 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 any 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.






                                                                                                                                                              Page 9









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.”

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.

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 V.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.

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.






                                                                                                                                                              Page 11

Reservation of Shares.  Company will maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of 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.

Required Approval.  No transactions contemplated under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents will be consummated for an amount that would require approval by any Trading Market or Company stockholders under any approval provisions, rules or regulations of any Trading Market applicable to Company, unless and until such approval is obtained.  
In no event will the aggregate number of Shares issued to Purchaser, together with any other Common Stock issued to Purchaser within six months, exceed 19.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding before the issuance, for less than the greater of book or market value of the stock, unless Company has obtained either (1) stockholder approval of the issuance, or (2) a waiver from NASDAQ of any applicable rule.  
Company will use reasonable efforts to obtain any required approval or waiver as soon as practicable.


M.

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.

Form of Promissory Note







SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE







$[__________]                                                                                                                                                            Date:  [Closing Date]




FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Ironridge Global IV, Ltd., a British Virgin Islands business company (“Borrower”) promises to pay to the order of PositiveID Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Lender”), at Delray Beach, Florida, or at such other place as Lender may from time to time designate in writing, the principal sum of $[__________], with interest, as follows:

1.

Interest.  The principal balance outstanding from time to time under this Secured Promissory Note (this “Note”), will bear interest from and after the date hereof at the rate of 1.6% per annum.  Interest will be calculated on a simple interest basis and the number of days elapsed during the period for which interest is being calculated.  Payments of interest will be due on each annual anniversary of the date of this Note; provided that Borrower will not be in default hereunder for failure to make any annual interest payment when due (other than on the Maturity Date) and the amount of interest not paid when due will be added to the principal balance of this Note and such amount will thereafter accrue interest at the rate set forth above.

2.

Payments.  If not sooner paid, the entire unpaid principal balance, interest thereon and any other charges due and payable under this Note will be due and payable seven and one-half years from the date of this Note (“Maturity Date”); provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision, no payments on this Note will be due or payable so long as either:  (a) Lender is in default under any Stock Purchase Agreement with Borrower or any affiliate of Borrower, any other material agreement entered into with Borrower or any affiliate of Borrower; or (b) there are any shares of Series D Preferred Stock of Lender (“Preferred Shares”) issued or outstanding (each, a “Tolling Event”).  Upon the termination or cure of any Tolling Event, Borrower’s obligation to pay amounts outstanding on this Note will immediately be reinstated.  Borrower will have the right to prepay all or any part of the principal balance of this Note at any time without penalty or premium.  In the event that Lender redeems or converts all or a portion of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock then held by Borrower or any affiliate of Borrower, the proceeds of any such redemption or conversion will be applied by Borrower to pay down the accrued interest and outstanding principal of this Note and Lender will be permitted to offset the full amount of such proceeds against amounts outstanding under this Note. All payments on this Note will be first applied to interest, then to reduce the outstanding principal balance hereof.

3.

Full Recourse Note.  This is a full recourse promissory note.  Accordingly, notwithstanding that Borrower’s obligations under this Note are secured by the Collateral, in the event of a material default hereunder, Lender will have full recourse to all the other assets of Borrower.  Moreover, Lender will not be required to proceed against or exhaust any Collateral, or to pursue any Collateral in any particular order, before Lender pursues any other remedies against Borrower or against any of Borrower’s assets.

4.

Security.

a.

Pledge.  As security for the due and prompt payment and performance of all payment obligations under this Note and any modifications, replacements and extensions hereof (collectively, “Secured Obligations”), Borrower hereby pledges and grants a security interest to Lender in all of Borrower’s right, title, and interest in and to all of the following, now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, with the value of securities securing the Note on the date of issuance to be at least equal to the amount of the Note (together, the “Collateral”):

i.

 All Preferred Shares legally or beneficially owned by Borrower or any affiliate of Borrower;

ii.

Freely tradable shares of common stock, shares of preferred stock, bonds, notes and/or debentures (collectively with the Preferred Shares, the “Pledged Securities”) with a fair market value on the date hereof at least equal to the principal amount of this Note, based upon the trading price of such securities on the OTC Bulletin Board, NASDAQ Capital Market, NASDAQ Global Market, NASDAQ Global Select Market, NYSE Amex, or New York Stock Exchange;

iii.

all rights of Borrower with respect to or arising out of the Pledged Securities and all equity and debt securities and other property distributed or distributable with respect thereto as a result of merger, consolidation, dissolution, reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, exchange, redemption, or other change in capital structure; and






                                                                                                                                                              Page 1









iv.

all proceeds, replacements, substitutions, accessions and increases in any of the Collateral.

b.

Replacement Securities.  So long as any Secured Obligations remain outstanding, in the event that Borrower sells or disposes of any Pledged Securities, Borrower will promptly provide replacement securities of equal or greater value to such Pledged Securities.

c.

Rights With Respect to Distributions.  So long as no default will have occurred and be continuing under this Note, Borrower will be entitled to receive any and all dividends and distributions made with respect to the Pledged Securities and any other Collateral.  However, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any default, Lender will have the sole right (unless otherwise agreed in writing by Lender in its sole discretion) to receive and retain dividends and distributions and apply them to the outstanding balance of this Note or hold them as Collateral, at Lender’s election.  

d.

Voting Rights.  So long as no default will have occurred and be continuing under this Note, Borrower will be entitled to exercise all voting rights pertaining to the Pledged Securities and any other Collateral.  However, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any default, all rights of Borrower to exercise the rights that Borrower would otherwise be entitled to exercise with respect to the Collateral will cease and, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Lender in its sole discretion, all such rights will thereupon become vested in Lender, which will thereupon have the sole right to exercise such rights.  

e.

Financing Statement; Further Assurances.  Borrower agrees, concurrently with executing this Note, that Lender may file a UCC-1 financing statement relating to the Collateral in favor of Lender, and any similar financing statements in any jurisdiction in which Lender reasonably determines such filing to be necessary.  Borrower further agrees that at any time during the continuance of any default Borrower will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents that Lender may request in order to perfect and protect the security interest granted hereby, or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies with respect to any Collateral.  In addition, following an event of default, Borrower will deliver the Collateral, including original certificates or other instruments representing the Pledged Securities and stock powers endorsed in blank, to Lender to hold as secured party, and Borrower will, if requested by Lender, execute a securities account control agreement.

f.

Powers of Lender.  Borrower hereby appoints Lender as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact to perform any and all of the following acts, which power is coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the Secured Obligations are paid and performed in full, and may be exercised from time to time by Lender in its discretion:  To take any action and to execute any instrument which Lender may deem reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 4(f) and, more broadly, this Note including, without limitation:  (i) to exercise rights with respect to Collateral in accordance with this Note, (ii) during the continuance of any default hereunder, to receive, endorse and collect all instruments or other forms of payment made payable to Borrower representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same, when and to the extent permitted by this Note, (iii) to perform or cause the performance of any obligation of Borrower hereunder in Borrower’s name or otherwise, (iv) during the continuance of any default hereunder, to liquidate any Collateral pledged to Lender hereunder and to apply proceeds thereof to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to place such proceeds into a cash collateral account or to transfer the Collateral into the name of Lender, all at Lender’s sole discretion, (v)  to enter into any extension, reorganization or other agreement relating to or affecting the Collateral, and, in connection therewith, to deposit or surrender control of the Collateral, (vi) to accept other property in exchange for the Collateral, (vii) to make any compromise or settlement Lender deems desirable or proper, and (viii) to execute on Borrower’s behalf and in Borrower’s name any documents required in order to give Lender a continuing first lien upon the Collateral or any part thereof.

5.

Additional Terms.

a.

No Waiver.  The acceptance by Lender of payment of a portion of any installment when due or an entire installment but after it is due will neither cure nor excuse the default caused by the failure of Borrower timely to pay the whole of such installment and will not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to require full payment when due of any future or succeeding installments.

b.

Default.  Any one or more of the following will constitute a “default” under this Note:  (i) a default in the payment when due of any amount hereunder, (ii) Borrower’s refusal or failure to perform any material term, provision or covenant under this Note, (iii) the commencement of any liquidation, receivership, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors or other debtor-relief proceeding by or against Borrower, (iv) the transfer by Borrower of any Pledged Securities without being replaced by Pledged Securities in accordance with Section 4(b), and (iv) the levying of any attachment, execution or other process against Borrower, the Collateral or any material portion thereof.






                                                                                                                                                              Page 2









c.

Default Rights.

i.

Upon the occurrence of any payment default Lender may, at its election, declare the entire balance of principal and interest under this Note immediately due and payable.  A delay by Lender in exercising any right of acceleration after a default will not constitute a waiver of the default or the right of acceleration or any other right or remedy for such default.  The failure by Lender to exercise any right of acceleration as a result of a default will not constitute a waiver of the right of acceleration or any other right or remedy with respect to any other default, whenever occurring.   

ii.

Further, upon the occurrence of any material non-monetary default, following 30 days notice from Lender to Borrower specifying the default and demanded manner of cure for any non-monetary default, Lender will thereupon and thereafter have any and all of the rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled after a default under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code, as then in effect.  In addition to Lender’s other rights and remedies, Borrower agrees that, upon the occurrence of default, Lender may in its sole discretion do or cause to be done any one or more of the following:

(a)

Proceed to realize upon the Collateral or any portion thereof as provided by law, and without liability for any diminution in price which may have occurred, sell the Collateral or any part thereof, in such manner, whether at any public or private sale, and whether in one lot as an entirety, or in separate portions, and for such price and other terms and conditions as is commercially reasonable given the nature of the Collateral.  

(b)

If notice to Borrower is required, give written notice to Borrower at least ten days before the date of sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof.

(c)

Transfer all or any part of the Collateral into Lender’s name or in the name of its nominee or nominees.

(d)

Vote all or any part of the Collateral (whether or not transferred into the name of Lender) and give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Collateral and otherwise act with respect thereto, as though Lender were the outright owner thereof.

iii.

Borrower acknowledges that all or part of foreclosure of the Collateral may be restricted by state or federal securities laws, Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of all or part of the Collateral, that a public sale is or may be impractical and inappropriate and that, in the event of such restrictions, Lender thus may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to its distribution or resale.  Borrower agrees that if reasonably necessary Lender may resort to one or more sales to a single purchaser or a restricted or limited group of purchasers.  Lender will not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition, unless the terms thereof will be satisfactory to it.

iv.

If, in the opinion of Lender based upon written advice of counsel, any consent, approval or authorization of any federal, state or other governmental agency or authority should be necessary to effectuate any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, Borrower will execute all such applications and other instruments as may reasonably be required in connection with securing any such consent, approval or authorization, and will otherwise use its commercially reasonable best efforts to secure the same.

d.

The rights, privileges, powers and remedies of Lender will be cumulative, and no single or partial exercise of any of them will preclude the further or other exercise of any of them.  Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind by Lender of any default hereunder, or any such waiver of any provisions or conditions hereof, must be in writing and will be effective only to the extent set forth in writing.  Any proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may be applied by Lender to the payment of expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the foregoing, and the balance of such proceeds will be applied by Lender toward the payment of the Secured Obligations.

6.

Organization; Authority.  Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that it is an entity validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full right, company power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Note and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder.  The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the transactions contemplated by this Note have been duly authorized by all necessary company or similar action on the part of Borrower.  This Note has been duly executed by Borrower, and when delivered by Borrower in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law






                                                                                                                                                              Page 3









7.

General Terms.

a.

No Oral Waivers or Modifications.  No provision of this Note may be waived or modified orally, but only in a writing signed by Lender and Borrower.

b.

Attorney Fees.  The prevailing party in any action by Lender to collect any amounts due under this Note will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys fees and costs.

c.

Governing Law.  This Note has been executed and delivered in, and is to be construed, enforced, and governed according to the internal laws of, the State of New York without regard to its principles of conflict of laws that would require or permit the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.  

d.

Severability.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Note will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law.  However, if any provision of this Note will be held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, it will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of that provision or the other provisions of this Note.

e.

Entire Agreement.  This Note contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters.

Re:

PositiveID Corporation




Ladies and Gentlemen:




In accordance with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”), dated July 27, 2011, by and between PositiveID Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Company”), and 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”), 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 issues a 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 notice of exercise, (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 of Common Stock to which the Purchaser is entitled upon exercise of the Obligation arrant as set forth in the notice of exercise, 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 of Common Stock 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 5



Form of Legal Opinion






We are counsel to PositiveID Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Company”), in connection with the sale and issuance of shares (“Shares”) of Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) to Ironridge Global Technology, a division of Ironridge Global IV, Ltd., a British Virgin Islands business company (“Purchaser”), pursuant to the terms of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of July 27, 2011 (“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) approval from Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC, (ii) as have been, or will be prior to the Closing, duly obtained or made, or (iii) 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. 

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.
