Your
vote is important regardless of the number of shares you own. The Company encourages

Voting

All

Below is a list of the different votes stockholders may cast at the Annual Meeting pursuant to this solicitation.
In

1.
in favor of the nominees,
2.
withhold votes as to all the nominees, or

vote in one of the following ways:
1.
in favor of the proposal,
2.

Stockholders
should specify their choice for each matter on the enclosed form of proxy. If no specific instructions are given, proxies which
are signed and returned will be voted
FOR
granting discretionary authority to the Board of Directors (the “Board”)
until the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders to adopt an amendment to the Company’s Third Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as may be amended from time to time, to decrease the Company’s authorized capital
stock,
FOR
the election of the directors as set forth herein,
FOR
the ratification of the appointment of Salberg
& Company, P.A. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2016,
FOR
the approval of the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and
FOR
the adoption
of resolutions that have been adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors to ratify each possible “defective corporate
act” (as defined in Section 204 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) set forth in such resolutions and to approve the
filing of certificates of validation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
In
addition, if other matters come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote in accordance
with their best judgment with respect to such matters. A stockholder submitting a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time
prior to its exercise by submitting a later dated and properly executed proxy (including by means of a telephone or Internet vote),
by voting in person at the Annual Meeting or by submitting a written notice, bearing a later date than the proxy, addressed to
Secretary, PositiveID Corporation, 1690 South Congress Avenue, Suite 201, Delray Beach, Florida 33445.
A
quorum must be present at the Annual Meeting. According to our By-Laws and Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
(“DGCL”), the presence in person or by proxy of both: (i) the holders of shares representing a majority of the voting
power of the Series II Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series II Preferred”) entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting;
and (ii) the holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power of the common stock alone (without counting the voting
power of the Series II Preferred that are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock) entitled to vote at the
Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum. If you have returned valid proxy instructions or attend the Annual Meeting in person,
your shares will be counted for the purpose of determining whether there is a quorum, even if you wish to abstain from voting
on some or all matters introduced at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” (shares held by a broker,
bank or other nominee that does not have authority, either express or discretionary, to vote on a particular matter) are counted
for determining whether there is a quorum.
Granting
discretionary authority to the Board to adopt an amendment to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
as may be amended from time to time, to decrease the Company’s authorized capital stock will require the affirmative vote
of the holders of both: (i) shares representing a majority of the votes cast by the Series II Preferred at the Annual Meeting,
in person or by proxy; and (ii) shares representing a majority of the votes cast by common stock alone (without counting the voting
power of the Series II Preferred that are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock), in person or by proxy.
For this proposal, abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for the purposes of this vote and, therefore, will
have the same effect as a vote against this proposal.
If
a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, the four nominees for director receiving the greatest number of votes (a plurality)
will be elected. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be considered in determining whether director nominees have received
the requisite number of affirmative votes.
Ratification
of the appointment of Salberg & Company, P.A. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the
year ending December 31, 2016, will require the affirmative votes of the holders of a majority of the votes of all the outstanding
shares of capital stock cast at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote on the proposal. For this proposal,
abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for the purposes of this vote and, therefore, will have the same effect
as a vote against this proposal.
Approval
of the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will require the affirmative vote of the holders
of both: (i) shares representing a majority of the votes cast by the Series II Preferred at the Annual Meeting, in person or by
proxy; and (ii) shares representing a majority of the votes cast by common stock alone (without counting the voting power of the
Series II Preferred that are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock), in person or by proxy. For this proposal,
abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for the purposes of this vote and, therefore, will have the same effect
as a vote against this proposal.
Adoption
of the resolutions that have been adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors to ratify each possible “defective corporate
act” (as defined in Section 204 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) set forth in such resolutions and to approve the
filing of certificates of validation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, will require the affirmative vote of
the holders of both: (i) shares representing a majority of the votes cast by the Series II Preferred at the Annual Meeting, in
person or by proxy; and (ii) shares representing a majority of the votes cast by common stock alone (without counting the voting
power of the Series II Preferred that are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock), in person or by proxy.
For this proposal, abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for the purposes of this vote and, therefore, will
have the same effect as a vote against this proposal.
The
telephone and internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate stockholders’ identities, to allow stockholders to
vote their shares and to confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded. Specific instructions to be followed by
stockholders interested in voting via the telephone or the internet are set forth on the proxy card.
Record
Date and Share Ownership
Under
our By-Laws, the record date can be no more than 60 and no less than 10 days before the Annual Meeting. Owners of record of our
shares of common stock at the close of business on September 15, 2016 (the “Record Date”), will be entitled to vote
at the Annual Meeting or adjournments or postponements thereof. Each owner of record of our common stock on such date is entitled
to one vote for each share of common stock so held. Each owner of record of our Series II Preferred has voting rights equal to
the number of shares of common stock that Series II Preferred is convertible into times twenty-five.
As of the close of business
on the Record Date, there were 38,649,070 shares of common stock outstanding entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As
of the close of business on the Record Date, there were 2,262 shares of Series II Preferred outstanding which equals 1,413,625,000
votes entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. A majority of both: (i) the 2,262 Series II Preferred voting shares;
and (ii) the 38,649,070 shares of common stock must be present, in person or by proxy, to conduct business at the Annual
Meeting.
For
information regarding security ownership by management and by the beneficial owners of more than 5% of our common stock, see “Security
Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.”
Expenses
of Solicitation
We
will bear the expense of solicitation of proxies. We have not retained a proxy solicitor to solicit proxies; however, we may choose
to do so prior to the Annual Meeting. Proxies may also be solicited by certain of our directors, officers and other employees,
without additional compensation, personally or by written communication, telephone or other electronic means. We are required
to request brokers and nominees who hold stock in their name to furnish our proxy material to beneficial owners of the stock and
will reimburse such brokers and nominees for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in so doing.

GRANTING
DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY TO THE BOARD UNTIL THE COMPANY’S NEXT ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO ADOPT AN AMENDMENT
TO OUR THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION, AS MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, TO DECREASE THE COMPANY’S
AUTHORIZED CAPITAL STOCK FROM 3,900,000,000 SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK TO 1,900,000,000
If
Proposal 4 below is approved by our shareholders, our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, will provide that
the total number of shares of capital stock that we have the authority to issue is 3,900,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which
3,895,000,000 are common stock, par value $0.001 per share. On September 2, 2016, our Board adopted a resolution recommending
that the stockholders grant the Board discretionary authority until the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders
to adopt an amendment to our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, to decrease the authorized number of
shares of our capital stock from 3,900,000,000 to 1,900,000,000 shares, such that the capital stock of the company will consist
of 1,895,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01
per share. A copy of the proposed amendment to our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, is attached hereto
as
Annex C
.
The decrease in the number
of authorized shares of our capital stock shall be accomplished by amendment to Article Four of our Third Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, as may be amended from time to time. As of the Record Date, we had 3,895,000,000 authorized
shares of common stock, of which 38,649,070 shares were issued and outstanding, and 5,000,000 authorized shares
of preferred stock, of which 2,333 shares were issued and outstanding. Of the remaining 3,856,350,930 authorized
shares of common stock, 1,419,717 shares are either subject to outstanding awards or reserved for future issuance under
our equity incentive plans, 1,577,746,979 are reserved for issuance pursuant to convertible notes, 58,320,000 are
reserved for issuance pursuant to our convertible preferred stock, and 292,800 shares are subject to outstanding warrants
to purchase shares of common stock, resulting in an aggregate of 1,637,779,496 shares reserved for issuance. The
number of shares of our authorized common stock remaining available for future issuance is 2,218,571,434.
Our
Board’s primary reason for recommending that the stockholders grant the Board discretionary authority until the Company’s
next annual meeting of stockholders to adopt an amendment to our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and
reduce our authorized capital stock is to reduce the amount of our annual franchise tax in the State of Delaware, while still
maintaining a sufficient number of authorized shares to permit us to act promptly with respect to future financings, acquisitions,
additional issuances and for other corporate purposes. Each year, we are required to make franchise tax payments to the State
of Delaware in an amount determined, in part, by the total number of shares of stock we are authorized to issue. Therefore, the
amount of this tax will be decreased if we reduce the number of authorized shares of our common stock (unless before and after
such reduction, we are subject to the maximum tax amount). While the exact amount of such cost savings will depend on a number
of factors, and could change year to year, we estimate the amount of tax savings could be in excess of $100,000 in 2017 based
on the current Delaware law.
If
the proposal is approved and the Board utilizes its discretionary authority, the number of our authorized shares of common stock
will be reduced from 3,895,000,000 to 1,895,000,000. The number of our authorized shares of preferred stock will remain unchanged,
with an authorized amount of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The amendment will not change the par value of the shares of
our common stock, affect the number of shares of our common stock that are outstanding, or affect the legal rights or privileges
of holders of existing shares of common stock. The reduction will not have any effect on any outstanding equity incentive awards
to purchase our common stock.
The
proposed decrease in the number of authorized shares of common stock could have adverse effects on us. Our Board will have less
flexibility to issue shares of common stock without stockholder approval, including in connection with a potential merger or acquisition,
stock dividend or follow on offering. In the event that our Board determines that it would be in our best interest to issue a
number of shares of common stock or preferred stock in excess of the number of then-authorized but unissued and unreserved shares,
we would be required to seek the approval of our stockholders to increase the number of shares of authorized common stock, as
applicable, which may increase our expenses. If we are not able to obtain the approval of our stockholders for such an increase
in a timely fashion, we may be unable to take advantage of opportunities that might otherwise be advantageous to us and our stockholders.
However, our Board has determined that these potential risks are outweighed by the anticipated benefits of reducing our Delaware
franchise tax obligations.
Vote
Required
Granting
discretionary authority to the Board until the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders to adopt an amendment
to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as may be amended from time to time, to decrease
the Company’s authorized capital stock from 3,900,000,000 shares to 1,900,000,000 shares, such that the capital stock of
the Company will consist of 1,895,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, par value $0.01 per share will require the affirmative vote of the holders of both: (i) shares representing a majority
of the votes cast by the Series II Preferred at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy; and (ii) shares representing a majority
of the votes cast by common stock alone (without counting the voting power of the Series II Preferred that are convertible into
shares of the Company’s common stock), in person or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present
for the purposes of this vote and, therefore, will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. Unless a contrary choice
is specified, proxies solicited by the Board will be voted FOR the proposal to grant discretionary authority to the Board to adopt
an amendment to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as may be amended from time to time,
to decrease the Company’s authorized capital stock.
Recommendation
of the Board of Directors
Our
Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR granting discretionary authority to the Board until the Company’s next annual
meeting of stockholders to adopt an amendment to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
as may be amended from time to time, to decrease the Company’s authorized capital stock.

CORPORATE
GOVERNANCE, BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES
Audit
Committee
Our
audit committee currently consists of Ned L. Siegel and Jeffrey S. Cobb. Mr. Siegel chairs the audit committee. Our Board has
determined that each of the members of our audit committee is “independent,” as defined under, and required by, the
federal securities laws and the rules of the SEC, including Rule 10A-3(b)(i) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, or the Exchange Act. Although we are no longer listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, each of the members of our audit
committee is “independent” under the listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market. Our Board has determined that
Mr. Siegel qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under applicable federal securities laws and regulations.
A copy of the current audit committee charter is available on our website at
www.psidcorp.com
.
The
audit committee assists our Board in its oversight of:
|
●
|
our
accounting, financial reporting processes, audits and the integrity of our financial statements;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
our
independent auditor’s qualifications, independence and performance;
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
●
|
our
audited financial statements and reports, and the discussion of the statements and reports with management, including any
significant adjustments, management judgments and estimates, new accounting policies and disagreements with management.
|
The
audit committee has the sole and direct responsibility for appointing, evaluating and retaining our independent auditors and for
overseeing their work. All audit and non-audit services to be provided to us by our independent auditors must be approved in advance
by our audit committee, other than de minimis non-audit services that may instead be approved in accordance with applicable rules
of the SEC.
Certain
Legal Proceedings
To
the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers has, during the past ten years:
●
|
been
convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other
minor offenses);
|
|
|
●
|
had
any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or
business association of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or
within two years prior to that time;
|
|
|
●
|
been
subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction
or federal or state authority, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting, his involvement
in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities, investment, banking, savings and loan, or insurance activities,
or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity;
|
|
|
●
|
been
found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated;
|
|
|
●
|
been
the subject of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently
reversed, suspended or vacated (not including any settlement of a civil proceeding among private litigants), relating to an
alleged violation of any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, any law or regulation respecting financial

any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or
|
|
|
●
|
been
the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory
organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of
the Commodity Exchange Act), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority
over its members or persons associated with a member.
|
Except
as set forth in our discussion below in “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,” none of our directors or
executive officers has been involved in any transactions with us or any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates
which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Section
16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Until
the Company filed a Form 8-A for the registration of the Company’s common stock pursuant to Section (g) of the Exchange
Act on August 19, 2016, the Company did not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act and therefore its directors,
executive officers (as well as any persons holding more than ten percent of the Company’s common stock) were not required
to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Nonetheless, based solely on a review of copies of such forms and written representations
from our directors and executive officers, we believe that for the fiscal year of 2015 and through the Record Date, all of our
directors and executive officers were in compliance, on a voluntary basis, with the disclosure requirements of Section 16(a).
Code
of Business Conduct and Ethics
Our
Board has approved and we have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, or the Code of Conduct, which applies to all of
our directors, officers and employees. Our Board has also approved and we have adopted a Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers
or the Code for SFO, which applies to our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. The Code of Conduct and the Code
for SFO are available upon written request to PositiveID Corporation, Attention: Secretary, 1690 South Congress Avenue, Suite
201, Delray Beach, Florida 33445. The audit committee of our Board is responsible for overseeing the Code of Conduct and the Code
for SFO. Our audit committee must approve any waivers of the Code of Conduct for directors and executive officers and any waivers
of the Code for SFO.
Stockholder
Nominations for Directors
The
nominating and governance committee considers possible candidates for directors from many sources, including from stockholders.
If a stockholder wishes to recommend a nominee for director, written notice should be sent to the Corporate Secretary in accordance
with the instructions set forth later in this proxy statement under “Stockholder Proposals for 2017 Annual Meeting.”
Each written notice must set forth as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate: (A) the name, age, business address
and residence address of the person, (B) the principal occupation or employment of the person, (C) the class or series and number
of shares of our capital stock that are owned beneficially or of record by the person and (D) any other information relating to
the person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with
solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder.
As
to the stockholder giving the notice: (A) the name and record address of such stockholder and the name and address of the beneficial
owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made, (B) the class or series and number of shares of our capital stock that
are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made,
(C) a description of all arrangements or understandings relating to the nomination to be made by such stockholder among such stockholder,
the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made, each proposed nominee and any other person or persons (including
their names), (D) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting to nominate
the persons named in its notice and (E) any other information relating to such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on
whose behalf the nomination is made that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be
made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Such notice must be accompanied by a written consent of each proposed nominee to
being named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected.
Qualifications
of Candidates and Process for Identifying Candidates for Election to the Board of Directors
The
Board evaluates the suitability of potential candidates nominated by stockholders in the same manner as other candidates recommended
to the nominating and corporate governance committee, based on certain criteria for selecting new directors. Such criteria include
the possession of such knowledge, experience, skills, expertise and diversity so as to enhance the Board’s ability to manage
and direct our affairs, including, when applicable, to enhance the ability of the committees of the Board to fulfill their duties
and to satisfy and independence requirements imposed by applicable law, regulation, or stock exchange listing requirement.
Stockholder
Communications
Our
Board of Directors believes that it is important for us to have a process whereby our stockholders may send communications to
the Board of Directors. Accordingly, stockholders who wish to communicate with the Board of Directors or a particular director
may do so by sending a communication in writing, whether by letter, facsimile, or email addressed to the Chairman of the Board
of Directors. Our address is 1690 South Congress Avenue, Suite 201, Delray Beach, Florida 33445 and our facsimile number is 561-805-8000.
For administrative efficiency, all such communications should be addressed to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, rather than
any other members of the Board of Directors, and should contain the stockholder’s contact information, including the stockholder’s
address and telephone number.

SECURITY
OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The
following table sets forth certain information known to us regarding beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock as of
September 15, 2016 by:
|
●
|
each
of our directors;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
each
of our named executive officers;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
all
of our executive officers and directors as a group; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
each
person, or group of affiliated persons, known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding shares of
common stock.
|
Beneficial ownership is
determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and includes voting and investment power with respect to the
securities. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares
of common stock subject to options or warrants or conversion of shares of Series II Preferred held by that person that are currently
exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of September 15, 2016 are deemed outstanding. Such shares, however, are not deemed outstanding
for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. To our knowledge, except as indicated in the footnotes
to this table and subject to community property laws where applicable, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment
power with respect to all shares of our common stock shown opposite such person’s name. The percentage of beneficial ownership
is based on 38,649,070 shares of our common stock outstanding and 1,452,274,070 voting shares as of September
15, 2016. Unless otherwise noted below, the address of the persons and entities listed in the table is c/o PositiveID Corporation,
1690 South Congress Avenue, Suite 201, Delray Beach, Florida 33445. The percentage of voting rights in the table below assumes
that all Series II Preferred shares held by directors and named officers are voted in any instance requiring shareholder vote.
Each owner of record of our Series II Preferred has voting rights equal to the number of shares of common stock that Series II
Preferred is convertible into times twenty-five.
The
beneficial owners of all issued shares have voting rights over such shares, whether or not such owners have dispositive powers
with respect to the shares, and such shares are included in each person’s beneficial ownership amount. For the avoidance
of doubt, if a beneficial owner does not have dispositive powers with respect to certain shares, each such person maintains voting
control over these shares, and such shares are included in the determination the person’s beneficial ownership amount.

Executive Employment Arrangements
On
November 10, 2010, our Compensation Committee approved a five-year employment and non-compete agreement for Mr. Caragol. Beginning
in 2011, Mr. Caragol began receiving a base salary of $225,000. His salary was set to increase a minimum of 5% per annum during
each calendar year of the term. During the term, Mr. Caragol was due to receive a minimum annual bonus for each calendar year
of the term in an amount equal to a minimum of one (1) times such executive’s base salary. Additionally, the Compensation
Committee has the authority to approve a discretionary bonus for each year of the term. In 2010, Mr. Caragol received 600 shares
of restricted stock, under the PositiveID Corporation 2009 Stock Incentive Plan. These restricted shares vested according to the
following schedule: (i) 50% vest on January 1, 2012; and (ii) 50% vest on January 1, 2013. Mr. Caragol’s rights and interests
in the unvested portion of the restricted stock were subject to forfeiture in the event he resigned prior to January 1, 2013 or
was terminated for cause prior to January 1, 2013, with said cause being defined as a conviction of a felony or such person being
prevented from providing services to us as a result of such person’s violation of any law, regulation and/or rule. Mr. Caragol
is also entitled to Company-paid health insurance and disability insurance, non-allocable expenses of $25,000, and is entitled
to use of an automobile leased by us and other automobile expenses, including insurance, gasoline and maintenance costs.
Amendments
to 2011 Executive Employment Arrangements
Mr.
Caragol’s annual base salary was increased from $225,000 to $275,000 in connection with his appointment as our chief executive
officer effective August 26, 2011.
On
December 6, 2011, the Compensation Committee approved a First Amendment to Employment and Non-Compete Agreement, or the First
Amendment, between us and William J. Caragol, our Chief Executive Officer, in connection with Mr. Caragol’s assumption of
the position of chairman of the Board effective December 6, 2011. The First Amendment amends the Employment and Non-Compete Agreement
dated November 11, 2010, between us and Mr. Caragol and provides for, among other things, the elimination of any future guaranteed
raises and bonuses, other than a 2011 bonus of $375,000 to be paid beginning January 1, 2012 in twelve (12) equal monthly payments.
This bonus was not paid during 2012 and on January 8, 2013, $300,000 of such bonus was converted into 738,916 shares of our restricted
common stock, which vest on January 1, 2016. The remaining $75,000 was paid in 2013. In addition, the First Amendment amends the
change of control provision by increasing the multiplier from 3 to 5 and capping any change in control compensation to 10% of
the transaction value. The First Amendment also obligated us to grant to Mr. Caragol an aggregate of 10,000 shares of restricted
stock over a 4 year period as follows: (i) 2,000 shares upon execution of the First Amendment, which shall vest on January 1,
2014, (ii) 2,000 shares on January 1, 2012, which shall vest on January 1, 2015, (iii) 2,000 shares on January 1, 2013, which
shall vest on January 1, 2015, (iv) 2,000 shares on January 1, 2014, which shall vest on January 1, 2018, and (v) 2,000 shares
on January 1, 2015, which shall vest on January 1, 2018. We and Mr. Caragol agreed to delay the issuance of the first and second
restricted share grants, for a total of 4,000 shares, until we had available shares under one of our stock incentive plans. The
restricted shares were granted on October 4, 2012. Upon a change in control or in the event that Mr. Caragol terminates his employment
for “constructive termination” (as such term is defined his employment agreement) or in the event we terminate his
employment without cause, the restricted stock described above shall be issued within five (5) business days of such triggering
event and all of the restricted stock shall vest immediately. If Mr. Caragol resigns, is terminated for cause, or his employment
is terminated due to his death or disability, Mr. Caragol will forfeit the restricted shares discussed above.
Also
effective September 28, 2012, we appointed William J. Caragol, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, as our acting Chief Financial
Officer.
On
January 14, 2014, the Company and Mr. Caragol agreed to amend his employment contract and reduce his annual salary from the remainder
of its term to $200,000, per annum, in exchange for 143 shares of Series I Preferred, with a face value of $143,000. The Company
also granted Mr. Caragol 100 shares of Series I Preferred as a tax equalization payment to compensate Mr. Caragol for taxes paid
on unrealized stock compensation during past years.
2015
Executive Employment Arrangements
The
term of Mr. Caragol’s employment agreement ended on December 31, 2015. On April 8, 2016, the Company entered into employment
contracts with both Mr. Caragol and Mr. Probst, effective January 1, 2016. The terms of Mr. Caragol’s employment contract
include a three-year term and a salary of $275,000, with $75,000 of that salary deferred until such time as the Company’s
working capital is sufficient to fund such payments. Mr Caragol’s salary will automatically adjust to $350,000 at the time
that PositiveID’s common stock is listed on a national exchange. Mr. Caragol is eligible for annual bonuses and was granted
500,000 stock options, which vest; (i) 170,000 on January 1, 2017; (ii) 165,000 on January 1, 2018; (iii) 165,000 on January 1,
2019. Mr. Caragol is also entitled to the use of a Company car and related expenses and an unaccountable expense allowance of
$25,000. The terms of Mr. Probst’s employment contract include a three-year term and a salary of $200,000. Mr Probst’s
salary will automatically adjust to $250,000 at the time that PositiveID’s common stock is listed on a national exchange.
Mr. Probst is eligible for annual bonuses and was granted 300,000 stock options, which vest; (i) 102,000 on January 1, 2017; (ii)
99,000 on January 1, 2018; (iii) 99,000 on January 1, 2019.
If
either Mr. Caragol or Mr. Probst’s employment is terminated prior to the expiration of the term of his employment agreement,
certain significant payments become due. The amount of such payments depends on the nature of the termination. In addition, the
employment agreement contains a change of control provision that provides for the payment of 2.0 times and 2.95 times in the case
of Mr. Probst and Mr. Caragol, respectively of the then current base salary and the same multipliers of the highest bonus paid
to the executive during the three calendar years immediately prior to the change of control. Any outstanding stock options or
restricted shares held by the executive as of the date of his termination or a change of control become vested and exercisable
as of such date, and remain exercisable during the remaining life of the option. The employment agreement also contains non-compete
and confidentiality provisions which are effective from the date of employment through two years from the date the employment
agreement is terminated.

CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Since
the beginning of our fiscal year 2015, there has not been, and there is not currently proposed any transaction or series of similar
transactions in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our
total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years and in which any related person, including any director, executive
officer, holder of more than 5% of our capital stock during such period, or entities affiliated with them, had a material interest,
other than as described in the transactions set forth below.
Former
Related Party Transactions
Sale
of VeriChip Business to Former Related Party
In
a series of transactions between 2012 and 2014 PositiveID first licensed and subsequently sold all of the intellectual property
related to its VeriChip implantable microchip business to VeriTeQ Corporation, a business run by a former related party (CEO of
the Company through 2011). The final agreement in the series was the GlucoChip Agreement, dated October 20, 2014.
Pursuant
to the VeriTeQ agreements, the Company holds a Note that was received as payment for shared services payments that the Company
made on behalf of VeriTeQ during 2011 and 2012 which Note had an original value of $222,115. The note has been fully reserved
in all periods presented. The Company also holds a five-year warrant dated November 13, 2013, with original terms entitling the
Company to purchase 300,000 shares of VeriTeQ common stock at a price of $2.84. Pursuant to the terms of the warrant, in particular
the full quantity and pricing reset provisions, the warrant had an original dollar value of $852,000 and can be exercised using
a cashless exercise feature.
Pursuant
to the GlucoChip Agreement, the Company transferred the intellectual property related to its GlucoChip development and agreed
to provide financial support to VeriTeQ, for a period of up to two years, in the form of convertible promissory notes. The Company
funded VeriTeQ $60,000 in 2014 and $140,000 less a $5,000 OID, as of the year ended December 31, 2015, VeriTeQ issued the Company
Convertible Promissory Notes in total principal amount of $200,000. These notes have been fully reserved in all periods presented.
The notes bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum; are due and payable twelve months from the effective date of the notes;
and may be converted by the Company at any time after 190 days of the date of closing into shares of VeriTeQ common stock at a
conversion price equal to a 40% discount of the average of the three lowest daily trading prices (as set forth in the notes) calculated
at the time of conversion. The notes also contain certain representations, warranties, covenants and events of default, and increases
in the amount of the principal and interest rates in the event of such defaults. Pursuant to the GlucoChip Agreement, the Company
agreed to provide VeriTeQ with continuing financial support through issuance of additional convertible promissory notes with similar
terms and conditions as the original note up to an additional amount of $205,000. The continuing financial support is not required
to be more frequent than every 100 days and may not be in excess of $50,000 in any individual note. As of December 31, 2015 the
Company had issued Notes with a principal value of $200,000 under the GlucoChip Agreement. As VeriTeQ is in default of its agreements
with the Company, there is no intention to provide any additional notes until such time as all defaults are cured.
As
of December 31, 2015 the Company had outstanding convertible notes receivable from VeriTeQ of $465,388 which includes $43,273
of accrued interest receivable and $5,000 OID.
Pursuant
to the cashless exercise feature of the VeriTeQ warrant, the Company realized $335,600 of income during the year ended December
31, 2015. Proceeds from the cashless exercise of the VeriTeQ warrant was measured at fair value at the time of the sale and reported
as other income. As VeriTeQ is an early stage company, not yet fully capitalized, the Company plans to continue to fully reserve
all note receivable and warrant balances. If and when proceeds are realized in the future, gains will be recognized.
On
October 19, 2015, VeriTeQ received a default notice from its senior lender demanding repayment of approximately $2.1 million of
indebtedness, secured by substantially all of VeriTeQ’s assets, which VeriTeQ was unable to repay. VeriTeQ also received
a Notice of Disposition of Collateral advising the Company that the senior lender, acting as collateral agent, intended to sell
the assets at auction, which it did on November 4, 2015. VeriTeQ has ceased its business operations related to implantable medical
device identification. On November 25, 2015, VeriTeQ entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with an unaffiliated company whereby
VeriTeQ agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of that company. As of the date of this filing,
VeriTeQ’s acquisition of has not closed.
Exchange
of Shares of Series I Preferred for Series II Preferred
From
September 30, 2013 through April 6, 2016 (the date our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 was filed),
the Company issued 2,025 shares of Series I Preferred to the following seven officers, directors and management for management
and director compensation and payment of deferred obligations: our CEO, acting CFO and Chairman, William J. Caragol, our President,
Lyle L. Probst, our three non-employee directors, Jeffrey Cobb, Michael Krawitz, and Ned L. Siegel, as well as Allison Tomek,
our Senior Vice President of Corporate Development, and Kimothy Smith, our Chief Technology Advisor. Each share of Series I Preferred
had voting rights equivalent to 25 votes per common share equivalent. As a result, as of April 6, 2016, the Company’s officers
and directors had control of 81% of the Company’s voting shares. Mr. Caragol had control of 38.6% of the Company’s
voting shares. There exists an inherent conflict of interest in the board approval of the issuance of Series I Preferred Stock
to officers and directors of the Company, which granted themselves voting control over the Company.
On
July 25, 2016, the Board authorized a Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series II Convertible
Preferred Stock (the “Certificate”). The Certificate was filed with the State of Delaware Secretary of State on July
25, 2016. The Series II Preferred ranks: (a) senior with respect to dividends and right of liquidation with the common stock;
(b) pari passu with respect to dividends and right of liquidation with the Corporation’s Series I Preferred and Series J
Convertible Preferred Stock; and (c) junior to all existing and future indebtedness of the Company. The Series II Preferred has
a stated value per share of $1,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the Certificate (the “Stated Value”), and
a dividend rate of 6% per annum of the Stated Value. As with the Series I Preferred, the Series II Preferred has 25 votes per
common share equivalent. The Series II Preferred is subject to redemption (at Stated Value, plus any accrued, but unpaid dividends
(the “Liquidation Value”)) by the Company no later than three years after a Deemed Liquidation Event and at the Company’s
option after one year from the issuance date of the Series II Preferred, subject to a ten-day notice (to allow holder conversion).
The Series II Preferred is convertible at the option of a holder or if the closing price of the common stock exceeds 400% of the
Conversion Price for a period of twenty consecutive trading days, at the option of the Company. Conversion Price means a price
per share of the common stock equal to 100% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the common stock during the subsequent
12 months following the date the Series II Preferred was issued. On August 11, 2016, the Board of PositiveID agreed to exchange
2,025 shares of its Series I Preferred, which shares have a stated value of $2,261,800, held by its directors, officers and management,
namely, our CEO, acting CFO and Chairman, William J. Caragol, our President, Lyle L. Probst, and our three non-employee directors,
Jeffrey Cobb, Michael Krawitz, and Ned L. Siegel, as well as Allison Tomek, our Senior Vice President of Corporate Development,
and Kimothy Smith, our Chief Technology Advisor, for 2,262 shares of Series II Preferred (the “Exchange”). Pursuant
to the Exchange each existing holder of Series I Preferred exchanged their Series I Preferred shares for Series II Preferred shares
having equivalent stated value, maintaining the same voting rights as they had as holders of the Series I Preferred. Per the table
below and the table under the heading “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management,” as of September
15, 2016, the Company’s officers and directors had control of 85.3% of the Company’s voting shares. Mr.
Caragol had control of 46.3% of the Company’s voting shares. Both the Series I Preferred and the Series II Preferred
have a stated value per share of $1,000, and a dividend rate of 6% per annum. All shares of Series I Preferred previously issued
have become null and void and any and all rights arising thereunder have been extinguished. The Series II Preferred will vest
on January 1, 2019, subject to acceleration in the event of conversion or redemption.

Caragol
Note
On
September 7, 2012, we issued a Secured Promissory Note, or the Caragol Note, in the principal amount of $200,000 to William J.
Caragol, or Caragol, our chairman and chief executive officer, in connection with a $200,000 loan to us by Caragol. The Caragol
Note accrues interest at a rate of 5% per annum, and principal and interest on the Caragol Note were due and payable on September
6, 2013. We agreed to accelerate the repayment of principal and interest in the event that we raise at least $1,500,000 from any
combination of equity sales, strategic agreements, or other loans, with no prepayment penalty for any paydown prior to maturity.
The Caragol Note was secured by a subordinated security interest in substantially all of our assets of pursuant to a Security
Agreement between us and Caragol dated September 7, 2012, or the Caragol Security Agreement. The Caragol Note may be accelerated
if an event of default occurs under the terms of the Caragol Note or the Caragol Security Agreement, or upon our insolvency, bankruptcy,
or dissolution. During 2012, the Company paid $100,000 of the principal amount of the Caragol Note and all accrued interest owed
on the date of payment on December 18, 2012. Additionally, we and Caragol terminated the Caragol Security Agreement effective
January 16, 2013. As of December 31, 2015, all outstanding principal and interest of the Caragol Note was fully paid.
Review,
Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Parties
Our
audit committee’s charter requires review and discussion of any transactions or courses of dealing with parties related
to us that are significant in size or involve terms or other aspects that differ from those that would be negotiated with independent
parties. Our nominating and governance committee’s charter requires review of any proposed related party transactions, conflicts
of interest and any other transactions for which independent review is necessary or desirable to achieve the highest standards
of corporate governance. It is also our unwritten policy, which policy is not otherwise evidenced, for any related party transaction
that involves more than a de minimis obligation, expense or payment, to obtain approval by our Board of Directors prior to our
entering into any such transaction. In conformity with our various policies on related party transactions, each of the above transactions
discussed in this “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” section has been reviewed and approved by our Board
of Directors.
Director
Independence
Our
Board of Directors currently consists of four members: William J. Caragol, Jeffrey S. Cobb, Michael E. Krawitz and Ned L. Siegel.
Although we are no longer listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, our Board has determined that three of our four directors, Messrs.
Cobb, Krawitz and Siegel, are independent under the standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market. Mr. Caragol, who is our Chief Executive
Officer and acting Chief Financial Officer is not considered independent.
For
transactions, relationships or arrangements that were considered by the Board in determining whether each director was independent,
please see “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions — Director and Officer Roles and Relationships” above.

RATIFICATION
OF APPOINTMENT OF
INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The
Audit Committee has approved the appointment of Salberg & Company, P.A as our independent registered public accounting firm
for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. We have been advised by Salberg & Company, P.A that it is an independent registered
public accounting firm with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, and complies with the auditing, quality control and
independence standards and rules of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
While
the Audit Committee retains Salberg & Company, P.A as our independent registered public accounting firm, the Board is submitting
the selection of Salberg & Company, P.A to our stockholders for ratification upon recommendation to do so by the Audit Committee
and as a matter of good corporate governance.
Unless
contrary instructions are given, shares represented by proxies solicited by the Board of Directors will be voted for the ratification
of the selection of Salberg & Company, P.A as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December
31, 2016. If the selection of Salberg & Company, P.A is not ratified by the affirmative votes of the holders of a majority
of the votes of all the outstanding shares of capital stock cast at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, and entitled to
vote on the proposal, the Audit Committee will review its future selection of an independent registered public accounting firm
in the light of that vote result. For this proposal, abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for the purposes
of this vote and, therefore, will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. Even if the selection of Salberg &
Company, P.A is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered
public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change is in our best interests.
Salberg
& Company, P.A has no financial interest of any kind in the Company, except the professional relationship between auditor
and client. A representative of Salberg & Company, P.A is not expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will not have
an opportunity to make a statement. As such, no Salberg & Company, P.A representative will also be available to respond to
appropriate questions from stockholders.

Pre-Approval
Policies and Procedures
The
audit committee has a policy for the pre-approval of all auditing services and any provision by the independent auditors of any
non-audit services the provision of which is not prohibited by the Exchange Act or the rules of the SEC under the Exchange Act.
Unless a type of service to be provided by the independent auditor has received general pre-approval, it will require specific
pre-approval by the audit committee, if it is to be provided by the independent auditor. All fees for independent auditor services
will require specific pre-approval by the audit committee. Any fees for pre-approved services exceeding the pre-approved amount
will require specific pre-approval by the audit committee. The audit committee will consider whether such services are consistent
with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.
All
services provided by and all fees paid to EisnerAmper LLP and Salberg & Company, P.A. in fiscal 2015 and 2014 were pre-approved
by our audit committee, in accordance with its policy. None of the services described above were approved pursuant to the exception
provided in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulations S-X promulgated by the SEC.
Vote
Required
Ratification
of the appointment of Salberg & Company, P.A. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the

shares of capital stock cast at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote on the proposal. For this proposal,
abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for the purposes of this vote and, therefore, will have the same effect
as a vote against this proposal. Unless a contrary choice is specified, proxies solicited by the Board will be voted FOR the proposal
to ratify the appointment of Salberg & Company, P.A as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year
ending December 31, 2016.

APPROVAL
OF THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
The
Board has approved, subject to shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting, a Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
in the form of
Annex B
hereto. If the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is approved by shareholders
at the Annual Meeting, it will be effective upon filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
Since
the initial filing of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation in 2001, there have been two completely amended and restated
Certificates of Incorporation as well as numerous amendments to the second amended and restated Certificates of Incorporation,
each of which is currently represented by a separate document. The Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation integrates
all of the amendments that have been made by the Company to the Certificate of Incorporation, into one unified document, which
eliminates the need to refer to a number of separate documents in order to find the complete text of the Certificate of Incorporation.
It also makes the following changes.
Action
by Written Consent
Currently,
our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, does not permit stockholders to act by written consent
in lieu of a meeting. Our Board determined that it was in our stockholders’ best interests to have the power to act by written
consent if such consent signed by the holders of outstanding shares having at least the minimum number of votes necessary to authorize
or take that action.
Holders
of Each Class of Capital Stock Entitled to Vote on Certain Changes to the Certificate of Incorporation as Single Class
Currently,
our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, does not explicitly permit stockholders of different
classes of the Company’s capital stock to vote as a single class with regard to certain changes to the Company’s certificate
of incorporation. The power of the holders of shares of Series II Preferred (and, prior to the Exchange, the Series I Preferred)
to vote as a single class with holders of our common stock on certain changes to the Company’s certificate of incorporation
was intended to be given when such preferred stock was issued to enable the Company to, as quickly as possible, take advantage
of certain financing opportunities that might be advantageous to us and our stockholders. Our Board determined that it is in our
stockholders’ best interests to have the Company’s certificate of incorporation explicitly state that such voting
is permitted.
This
proposal is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
which is attached hereto as
Annex B
.
Vote
Required
Approval
of the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will require the affirmative vote of the holders
of both: (i) shares representing a majority of the votes cast by the Series II Preferred at the Annual Meeting, in person or by
proxy; and (ii) shares representing a majority of the votes cast by common stock alone (without counting the voting power of the
Series II Preferred that are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock), in person or by proxy. Abstentions
and broker non-votes will be counted as present for the purposes of this vote and, therefore, will have the same effect as a vote
against this proposal. Unless a contrary choice is specified, proxies solicited by the Board will be voted FOR the proposal to
approve the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
Recommendation
of the Board of Directors
Our
Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the approval of the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

ADOPTION
OF RESOLUTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN ADOPTED BY THE COMPANY’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO RATIFY EACH POSSIBLE “DEFECTIVE CORPORATE
ACT” (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 204 OF THE DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW) SET FORTH IN SUCH RESOLUTIONS AND TO APPROVE THE
FILING OF CERTIFICATES OF VALIDATION WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE.
Our
Board desires to remove any uncertainty regarding the validity of certain prior actions authorized by our stockholders. Our Second
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Current Charter”), may not properly provide that
actions may be taken by shareholders by written consent without a meeting in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL. In addition,
increases to the authorized number of shares of common stock were approved by the holders of Series I Preferred without a vote
of the holders of the common stock. Section 242 of the DGCL provides that the holders of the outstanding shares of a class of
stock of a corporation shall be entitled to vote as a class upon a proposed amendment, whether or not entitled to vote thereon
by the certificate of incorporation of such corporation, if the amendment would increase the aggregate number of authorized shares
of such class of stock. Accordingly, our Board determined that it would be appropriate to ratify certain prior actions retroactive
to the respective dates of such actions pursuant to Section 204 of the DGCL in order to avoid any uncertainty related to the effectiveness
of each such action.
Our
Board adopted resolutions (attached hereto as
Annex A
and referred to herein as the “Ratification Resolutions”)
identifying the possible defective corporate acts under Section 204 of the DGCL, identifying the respective dates of each of the
possible defective corporate acts, setting forth the nature of the possible failures of authorization (as discussed herein), and
approving the ratification of certain prior actions retroactive to the respective dates of such actions.
1.
Charter Amendment 1
to Increase the Authorized Common Stock
.
Background
On
October 3, 2014, the Company received written consents in lieu of a meeting of stockholders from holders of voting stock representing
approximately 71.3% of the total issued and outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company approving the filing of the Fifth
Certificate of Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State
of Delaware to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company to nine hundred seventy million (970,000,000)
(“Charter Amendment 1”). The terms and other information relating to Charter Amendment 1 were set forth in detail
in the Company’s Definitive 14C Information Statement filed with the SEC on November 7, 2014 and available to the public
from the web site maintained by the SEC at
http://www.sec.gov.
On
December 8, 2014, the Company filed Charter Amendment 1with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
The
Approval of Charter Amendment 1 May Constitute a Defective Corporate Act
As
previously disclosed, our Current Charter does not properly provide that actions may be taken by shareholders by written consent
without a meeting in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL. In addition, Section 242 of the DGCL provides that the holders of
the outstanding shares of a class of stock of a corporation shall be entitled to vote as a class upon a proposed amendment, whether
or not entitled to vote thereon by the certificate of incorporation of such corporation, if the amendment would increase the aggregate
number of authorized shares of such class of stock. Accordingly, Charter Amendment 1 may not have been duly authorized by our
stockholders.
If
Charter Amendment 1 did not receive the required approval, it would constitute a “defective corporate act” (as defined
in Section 204 of the DGCL). After further consultation and investigation with outside counsel, our Board determined that Charter
Amendment 1 may be void or voidable by reason of the following possible “failures of authorization” (as defined in
Section 204 of the DGCL):
|
(i)
|
our
Board did not resolve to call a special meeting of the stockholders entitled to vote in respect of Charter Amendment 1 for
the consideration of Charter Amendment 1 or direct that Charter Amendment 1 be considered at the next annual meeting of stockholders
as required by Section 242(b)(1) of the DGCL;
|
|
|
|
|
(ii)
|
Charter
Amendment 1 was not approved at a stockholders meeting by holders of (i) a majority (as provided in Section 242 of the DGCL)
of the outstanding shares of common stock. It was just approved by the majority (as provided in Section 242 of the DGCL) of
the outstanding shares of Series I Preferred; and
|
|
|
|
|
(iii)
|
the
consenting stockholders, as the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company,
purported to act by written consent to approve Charter Amendment 1 notwithstanding the Current Charter did not properly provide
that actions may be taken by shareholders by written consent without a meeting in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL.
|
Accordingly,
because any of the foregoing may be deemed a failure of authorization, it could be argued that the Company would not have been
authorized to execute, acknowledge and file Charter Amendment 1 with the Delaware Secretary of State. If it is concluded that
the Company was not so authorized, Charter Amendment 1 would be void or voidable under the DGCL.
The
Board Approved the Ratification of Charter Amendment 1
Section
204 of the DGCL, which is a statutory provision that became effective on April 1, 2014, provides that defects in stock issuances
and other corporate acts render such stock and acts voidable and not void. Prior to the adoption of Section 204 of the DGCL, it
was unclear whether under Delaware law defects in stock issuances or other corporate acts would render the stock or such other
corporate acts void, and thus incapable of being validated or ratified, or merely voidable, and thus susceptible to cure by ratification.
Section 204 allows the board of directors of a company, by following specified procedures, to validate a defective corporate act
retroactive to the date the defective corporate act was originally taken.
On
September 2, 2016, our Board determined that it would be appropriate to ratify Charter Amendment 1 pursuant to DGCL Section 204
in order to avoid any uncertainty related to the effectiveness of Charter Amendment 1.
Our
Board adopted the Ratification Resolutions (
Annex A
) identifying Charter Amendment 1 as a possible defective corporate
act under Section 204 of the DGCL, identifying December 8, 2014 (the date Charter Amendment 1 was filed with the Delaware Secretary
of State) as the time of the possible defective corporate act, setting forth the nature of the possible failures of authorization
(as discussed above), and approving the ratification of Charter Amendment 1.
Our
Board further declared the ratification advisable and in the best interest of the Company, and recommended that the stockholders
of the Company adopt the Ratification Resolutions.
Our
Board further directed that notice of the meeting be provided (i) to all stockholders of the Company as of the Record Date. Our
Board directed that the notice of meeting (i) contain a copy of the Ratification Resolutions, and (ii) contain a statement that
any claim that the possible defective corporate act ratified pursuant to the Ratification Resolutions is void or voidable due
to the identified failures of authorizations, or that the Delaware Court of Chancery should declare in its discretion that the
ratification set forth in the Ratification Resolutions pursuant to Section 204 of the DGCL not be effective or be effective only
on certain conditions, must be brought within 120 days from the validation effective time.
Reasons
for the Ratification of Charter Amendment 1
Our
Board approved the ratification of Charter Amendment 1, declared the ratification of Charter Amendment 1 to be advisable and in
the best interest of the Company and its stockholders, and recommended that the stockholders vote to adopt the Ratification Resolutions
and approve the ratification of Charter Amendment 1.
Our
Board determined that it would be appropriate to ratify Charter Amendment 1pursuant to DGCL Section 204 in order to avoid any
uncertainty related to the effectiveness of Charter Amendment 1.
Filing
of a Certificate of Validation
Upon
the receipt of (i) shares representing a majority of the votes cast by the Series II Preferred at the Annual Meeting, in person
or by proxy; and (ii) shares representing a majority of the votes cast by common stock alone (without counting the voting power
of the Series II Preferred that are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock), in person or by proxy, to adopt
the Ratification Resolutions, we will file a certificate of validation with respect to Charter Amendment 1with the Delaware Secretary
of State. The effective time of the filing of the certificate of validation will be the validation effective time with respect
to such ratification within the meaning of Section 204 of the DGCL.
Effect
of Ratification; Retroactive Validation of Charter Amendment 1
At
the validation effective time, Charter Amendment 1 will no longer be deemed void or voidable as a result of the failures of authorization
described above, and the effect of the ratification will be retroactive to December 8, 2014, which was the time of the original
filing of Charter Amendment 1.
Time
Limitations on Legal Challenges to the Ratification of Charter Amendment 1
Under
the DGCL, any claim that the possible defective corporate act ratified pursuant to the Ratification Resolutions is void or voidable
due to the identified failures of authorizations, or that the Delaware Court of Chancery should declare in its discretion that
the ratification set forth in the Ratification Resolutions pursuant to Section 204 of the DGCL not be effective or be effective
only on certain conditions, must be brought within 120 days from the validation effective time.
The
Consequences if the Ratification of Charter Amendment 1 is Not Approved by the Stockholders
If
the Ratification Resolutions are not approved, we will not be able to file a certificate of validation in order to ratify Charter
Amendment 1 pursuant to DGCL Section 204. The failure to ratify Charter Amendment 1 under Section 204 may lead to claims that
Charter Amendment 1 had not been validly approved by our stockholders.
2.
Charter Amendment 2 to Increase the Authorized Common Stock
.
Background
On
March 25, 2015, the Company received written consents in lieu of a meeting of stockholders from holders of voting stock representing
approximately 79.0% of the total issued and outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company approving the filing of the Sixth
Certificate of Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State
of Delaware to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company to one billion, nine hundred seventy million
(1,970,000,000) (“Charter Amendment 2”). The terms and other information relating to Charter Amendment 2 were set
forth in detail in the Company’s Definitive 14C Information Statement filed with the SEC on April 8, 2015 and available
to the public from the web site maintained by the SEC at
http://www.sec.gov.
On
April 30, 2015, the Company filed Charter Amendment 2 with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
The
Approval of Charter Amendment 2 May Constitute a Defective Corporate Act
As
previously disclosed, our Current Charter does not properly provide that actions may be taken by shareholders by written consent
without a meeting in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL. In addition, Section 242 of the DGCL provides that the holders of
the outstanding shares of a class of stock of a corporation shall be entitled to vote as a class upon a proposed amendment, whether
or not entitled to vote thereon by the certificate of incorporation of such corporation, if the amendment would increase the aggregate
number of authorized shares of such class of stock. Accordingly, Charter Amendment 2 may not have been duly authorized by our
stockholders.
If
Charter Amendment 2 did not receive the required approval, it would constitute a “defective corporate act” (as defined
in Section 204 of the DGCL). After further consultation and investigation with outside counsel, our Board determined that Charter
Amendment 2 may be void or voidable by reason of the following possible “failures of authorization” (as defined in
Section 204 of the DGCL):
|
(i)
|
our
Board did not resolve to call a special meeting of the stockholders entitled to vote in respect of Charter Amendment 2 for
the consideration of Charter Amendment 2 or direct that Charter Amendment 2 be considered at the next annual meeting of stockholders
as required by Section 242(b)(1) of the DGCL;
|
|
(ii)
|
Charter
Amendment 2 was not approved at a stockholders meeting by holders of (i) a majority (as provided in Section 242 of the DGCL)
of the outstanding shares of common stock. It was just approved by the majority (as provided in Section 242 of the DGCL) of
the outstanding shares of Series I Preferred; and
|
|
|
|
|
(iii)
|
the
consenting stockholders, as the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company,
purported to act by written consent to approve Charter Amendment 2 notwithstanding the Current Charter did not properly provide
that actions may be taken by shareholders by written consent without a meeting in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL.
|
Accordingly,
because any of the foregoing may be deemed a failure of authorization, it could be argued that the Company would not have been
authorized to execute, acknowledge and file Charter Amendment 2 with the Delaware Secretary of State. If it is concluded that
the Company was not so authorized, Charter Amendment 2 would be void or voidable under the DGCL.
The
Board Approved the Ratification of Charter Amendment 2
Section
204 of the DGCL, which is a statutory provision that became effective on April 1, 2014, provides that defects in stock issuances
and other corporate acts render such stock and acts voidable and not void. Prior to the adoption of Section 204 of the DGCL, it
was unclear whether under Delaware law defects in stock issuances or other corporate acts would render the stock or such other
corporate acts void, and thus incapable of being validated or ratified, or merely voidable, and thus susceptible to cure by ratification.
Section 204 allows the board of directors of a company, by following specified procedures, to validate a defective corporate act
retroactive to the date the defective corporate act was originally taken.
On
September 2, 2016, our Board determined that it would be appropriate to ratify Charter Amendment 2 pursuant to DGCL Section 204
in order to avoid any uncertainty related to the effectiveness of Charter Amendment 2.
Our
Board adopted the Ratification Resolutions (
Annex A
) identifying Charter Amendment 2 as a possible defective corporate
act under Section 204 of the DGCL, identifying April 30, 2015 (the date Charter Amendment 2 was filed with the Delaware Secretary
of State) as the time of the possible defective corporate act, setting forth the nature of the possible failures of authorization
(as discussed above), and approving the ratification of Charter Amendment 2.
Our
Board further declared the ratification advisable and in the best interest of the Company, and recommended that the stockholders
of the Company adopt the Ratification Resolutions.
Our
Board further directed that notice of the meeting be provided (i) to all stockholders of the Company as of the Record Date. Our
Board directed that the notice of meeting (i) contain a copy of the Ratification Resolutions, and (ii) contain a statement that
any claim that the possible defective corporate act ratified pursuant to the Ratification Resolutions is void or voidable due
to the identified failures of authorizations, or that the Delaware Court of Chancery should declare in its discretion that the
ratification set forth in the Ratification Resolutions pursuant to Section 204 of the DGCL not be effective or be effective only
on certain conditions, must be brought within 120 days from the validation effective time.
Reasons
for the Ratification of Charter Amendment 2
Our
Board approved the ratification of Charter Amendment 2, declared the ratification of Charter Amendment 2 to be advisable and in
the best interest of the Company and its stockholders, and recommended that the stockholders vote to adopt the Ratification Resolutions
and approve the ratification of Charter Amendment 2.
Our
Board determined that it would be appropriate to ratify Charter Amendment 2 pursuant to DGCL Section 204 in order to avoid any
uncertainty related to the effectiveness of Charter Amendment 2.
Filing
of a Certificate of Validation
Upon
the receipt of (i) shares representing a majority of the votes cast by the Series II Preferred at the Annual Meeting, in person
or by proxy; and (ii) shares representing a majority of the votes cast by common stock alone (without counting the voting power
of the Series II Preferred that are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock), in person or by proxy, to adopt
the Ratification Resolutions, we will file a certificate of validation with respect to Charter Amendment 2 with the Delaware Secretary
of State. The effective time of the filing of the certificate of validation will be the validation effective time with respect
to such ratification within the meaning of Section 204 of the DGCL.
Effect
of Ratification; Retroactive Validation of Charter Amendment 2
At
the validation effective time, Charter Amendment 2 will no longer be deemed void or voidable as a result of the failures of authorization
described above, and the effect of the ratification will be retroactive to April 30, 2015, which was the time of the original
filing of Charter Amendment 2.
Time
Limitations on Legal Challenges to the Ratification of Charter Amendment 2
Under
the DGCL, any claim that the possible defective corporate act ratified pursuant to the Ratification Resolutions is void or voidable
due to the identified failures of authorizations, or that the Delaware Court of Chancery should declare in its discretion that
the ratification set forth in the Ratification Resolutions pursuant to Section 204 of the DGCL not be effective or be effective
only on certain conditions, must be brought within 120 days from the validation effective time.
The
Consequences if the Ratification of Charter Amendment 2 is Not Approved by the Stockholders
If
the Ratification Resolutions are not approved, we will not be able to file a certificate of validation in order to ratify Charter
Amendment 2 pursuant to DGCL Section 204. The failure to ratify Charter Amendment 2 under Section 204 may lead to claims that
Charter Amendment 2 had not been validly approved by our stockholders.
3.
Charter Amendment 3 to Increase the Authorized Common Stock
.
Background
On
February 25, 2016, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders and approximately 72.8% of the total issued and outstanding
shares of voting stock of the Company approving the filing of the Seventh Certificate of Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to increase the number of authorized shares
of common stock of the Company to three billion, eight hundred ninety five million (3,895,000,000) (“Charter Amendment 3”).
The terms and other information relating to Charter Amendment 3 were set forth in detail in the Company’s Definitive 14C
Information Statement filed with the SEC on January 29, 2016 and available to the public from the web site maintained by the SEC
at
http://www.sec.gov.
On
February 25, 2016, the Company filed Charter Amendment 3 with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
The
Approval of Charter Amendment 3 May Constitute a Defective Corporate Act
As
previously disclosed, Section 242 of the DGCL provides that the holders of the outstanding shares of a class of stock of a corporation
shall be entitled to vote as a class upon a proposed amendment, whether or not entitled to vote thereon by the certificate of
incorporation of such corporation, if the amendment would increase the aggregate number of authorized shares of such class of
stock. Accordingly, Charter Amendment 3 may not have been duly authorized by our stockholders.
If
Charter Amendment 3 did not receive the required approval, it would constitute a “defective corporate act” (as defined
in Section 204 of the DGCL). After further consultation and investigation with outside counsel, our Board determined that Charter
Amendment 3 may be void or voidable by reason of the following possible “failures of authorization” (as defined in
Section 204 of the DGCL):
|
(i)
|
Charter
Amendment 3 was not approved at a stockholders meeting by holders of (i) a majority (as provided in Section 242 of the DGCL)
of the outstanding shares of common stock. It was just approved by the majority (as provided in Section 242 of the DGCL) of
the outstanding shares of Series I Preferred; and
|
Accordingly,
because the foregoing may be deemed a failure of authorization, it could be argued that the Company would not have been authorized
to execute, acknowledge and file Charter Amendment 3 with the Delaware Secretary of State. If it is concluded that the Company
was not so authorized, Charter Amendment 3 would be void or voidable under the DGCL.

Section
204 of the DGCL, which is a statutory provision that became effective on April 1, 2014, provides that defects in stock issuances

on certain conditions, must be brought within 120 days from the validation effective time.
Reasons

Our
Board approved the ratification of Charter Amendment 3, declared the ratification of Charter Amendment 2 to be advisable and in
the best interest of the Company and its stockholders, and recommended that the stockholders vote to adopt the Ratification Resolutions
and approve the ratification of Charter Amendment 3.
Our
Board determined that it would be appropriate to ratify Charter Amendment 3 pursuant to DGCL Section 204 in order to avoid any

only on certain conditions, must be brought within 120 days from the validation effective time.
The
Consequences if the Ratification of Charter Amendment 3 is Not Approved by the Stockholders
If
the Ratification Resolutions are not approved, we will not be able to file a certificate of validation in order to ratify Charter
Amendment 3 pursuant to DGCL Section 204. The failure to ratify Charter Amendment 3 under Section 204 may lead to claims that
Charter Amendment 3 had not been validly approved by our stockholders.
4.
Charter Amendment 4 to Effect the Reverse Stock Split and Change in Par Value
.
On
April 8, 2016, the Company received written consents in lieu of a meeting of stockholders from holders of voting stock representing
approximately 71.5% of the total issued and outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company approving the filing of the Eighth
Certificate of Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State
of Delaware to grant discretionary authority to the Board to effect a reverse stock split at a ratio in the range of 1 for 10
to 1 for 50, such ratio to be determined by the Board, or to determine not to proceed with the reverse stock split (the “Reverse
Stock Split”) and change the par value of the Company’s common stock from $0.01 per share to $0.001 per share (the
“Change in Par Value”) (collectively, “Charter Amendment 4”). The terms and other information relating
to Charter Amendment 4 were set forth in detail in the Company’s Definitive 14C Information Statement filed with the SEC
on April 22, 2016 and available to the public from the web site maintained by the SEC at
http://www.sec.gov.
On
June 27, 2016, the Company filed Charter Amendment 4 with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Reverse Stock Split
took effect on July 5, 2016. The Change in Par Value has not yet taken effect.
The
Approval of Charter Amendment 4 May Constitute a Defective Corporate Act
As
previously disclosed, our Current Charter does not properly provide that actions may be taken by shareholders by written consent
without a meeting in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL. In addition, Section 242 of the DGCL provides that the holders of
the outstanding shares of a class of stock of a corporation shall be entitled to vote as a class upon a proposed amendment, whether
or not entitled to vote thereon by the certificate of incorporation of such corporation, if the amendment would increase the aggregate
number of authorized shares of such class of stock. Accordingly, Charter Amendment 4 may not have been duly authorized by our
stockholders.
If
Charter Amendment 4 did not receive the required approval, it would constitute a “defective corporate act” (as defined
in Section 204 of the DGCL). After further consultation and investigation with outside counsel, our Board determined that Charter
Amendment 4 may be void or voidable by reason of the following possible “failures of authorization” (as defined in
Section 204 of the DGCL):
|
(i)
|
our
Board did not resolve to call a special meeting of the stockholders entitled to vote in respect of Charter Amendment 4 for
the consideration of Charter Amendment 4 or direct that Charter Amendment 4 be considered at the next annual meeting of stockholders
as required by Section 242(b)(1) of the DGCL;

|
(ii)
|
Charter
Amendment 4 was not approved at a stockholders meeting by holders of (i) a majority (as provided in Section 242 of the DGCL)
of the outstanding shares of common stock. It was just approved by the majority (as provided in Section 242 of the DGCL) of
the outstanding shares of Series I Preferred; and
|
|
|
|
|
(iii)
|
the
consenting stockholders, as the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company,
purported to act by written consent to approve Charter Amendment 4 notwithstanding the Current Charter did not properly provide
that actions may be taken by shareholders by written consent without a meeting in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL.

Accordingly,
because any of the foregoing may be deemed a failure of authorization, it could be argued that the Company would not have been

Our

Amendment 4 pursuant to DGCL Section 204. The failure to ratify Charter Amendment 4 under Section 204 may lead to claims that
Charter Amendment 2 had not been validly approved by our stockholders.
Vote
Required
Adoption
of the resolutions that have been adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors to ratify each possible “defective corporate
act” (as defined in Section 204 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) set forth in such resolutions and to approve the
filing of certificates of validation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, will require the affirmative vote of
the holders of both: (i) shares representing a majority of the votes cast by the Series II Preferred at the Annual Meeting, in
person or by proxy; and (ii) shares representing a majority of the votes cast by common stock alone (without counting the voting
power of the Series II Preferred that are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock), in person or by proxy.
Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for the purposes of this vote and, therefore, will have the same effect
as a vote against this proposal. Unless a contrary choice is specified, proxies solicited by the Board will be voted FOR the proposal
to adopt the resolutions that have been adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors to ratify each possible “defective
corporate act” (as defined in Section 204 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) set forth in such resolutions and to
approve the filing of certificates of validation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
Recommendation
of the Board of Directors
Our
Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR adoption of resolutions that have been adopted by the Board to ratify each possible “defective
corporate act” (as defined in Section 204 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) set forth in such resolutions and to
approve the filing of certificates of validation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
OTHER
MATTERS
Stockholder
Proposals for 2017 Annual Meeting.
Stockholder proposals intended to be included in our 2017 Proxy or Information Statement
must be submitted in writing to our Secretary no later than May 19, 2017 – i.e., 120 days before the date
this proxy statement was released to shareholders in connection with this year’s annual meeting, pursuant to Rule 14a-8
of the Exchange Act. However, if we change the date of our 2017 Annual Meeting by more than 30 days from the date of our 2016
Annual Meeting, then the deadline is a reasonable time before we begin to print and send our proxy materials for the 2017 Annual
Meeting. Proposals by stockholders to be presented at our 2017 Annual Meeting (but not intended to be included in our 2017 Proxy
or Information Statement) must be submitted in writing to our Secretary no earlier than July 13, 2017 – i.e., 120 days before
this year’s annual meeting, but no later than August 13, 2017 – i.e., 90 days before this year’s annual meeting,
in accordance with our By-Laws; however, in the event that 2017 Annual Meeting is called for a date that is not within 45 days
before or after the anniversary date of our 2016 Annual Meeting, to be timely, the stockholder’s notice must be received
not earlier than the opening of business on the 120th day before the 2017 Annual Meeting and not later than the later of (x) the
close of business on the 90th day before the 2017 Annual Meeting or (y) the close of business on the 10th day following the day
on which public announcement of the date of the 2017Annual Meeting is made. Otherwise, the proxies named by our Board may exercise
discretionary voting authority with respect to the stockholder proposal, without any discussion of the proposal in our proxy materials.
Multiple
Stockholders Sharing the Same Address
. Regulations regarding the delivery of copies of proxy materials and annual reports
to stockholders permit us, banks, brokerage firms and other nominees to send one annual report and proxy statement to multiple
stockholders who share the same address under certain circumstances, unless contrary instructions are received from stockholders.
This practice is known as “householding.” Stockholders who hold their shares through a bank, broker or other nominee
may have consented to reducing the number of copies of materials delivered to their address. In the event that a stockholder wishes
to request delivery of a single copy of annual reports or proxy statements or to revoke a “householding” consent previously
provided to a bank, broker or other nominee, the stockholder must contact the bank, broker or other nominee, as applicable, to
revoke such consent. In any event, if a stockholder wishes to receive a separate proxy statement for the 2017 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders, the stockholder may receive printed copies by contacting Allison Tomek, Secretary, 1690 South Congress Avenue, Suite
201, Delray Beach, Florida 33445 by mail or by calling Allison Tomek at (561) 805-8000.
Any
stockholders of record sharing an address who now receive multiple copies of our annual reports and proxy statements, and who
wish to receive only one copy of these materials per household in the future should also contact Allison Tomek, Secretary, by
mail or telephone, as instructed above. Any stockholders sharing an address whose shares of common stock are held by a bank, broker
or other nominee who now receive multiple copies of our annual reports and proxy statements, and who wish to receive only one
copy of these materials per household, should contact the bank, broker or other nominee to request that only one set of these
materials be delivered in the future.
Financial
Statements.
Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 are included in our 2015 Annual Report
to Stockholders. Copies of the Annual Report are being sent to our stockholders concurrently with the mailing of this proxy statement.
The Annual Report does not form any part of the material for the solicitation of proxies.
Other
Matters.
At the date hereof, there are no other matters which the Board intends to present or has reason to believe others
will present at the Annual Meeting. If other matters come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the accompanying form
of proxy will vote in accordance with their best judgment with respect to such matters.
The
form of proxy and this proxy statement have been approved by the Board of Directors and are being mailed and delivered to stockholders
by its authority.

WHEREAS,
based upon the increases in the number of shares of Common Stock and the Reverse Split, each as described in the Amendments, the
board of directors of the Corporation from time to time approved and deemed advisable the issuance and sale of shares of Common
Stock in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock authorized prior to the filing of the Amendments, each as set forth on
Schedule I
attached hereto (collectively, the “
Financings
”);
WHEREAS,
each of the Financings involved the issuance shares of Common Stock which were authorized pursuant to the Amendments and are potentially
shares of putative stock (as defined in Section 204 of the GCL);
WHEREAS,
the board of directors is concerned that some or all of the above-described corporate acts may constitute a defective corporate
act (as defined in Section 204 of the GCL) and for avoidance of doubt, the board of directors of the Corporation has determined
that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Corporation and its stockholders to ratify all such corporate acts (the
“
Ratification
”), in each case pursuant to and in accordance with Section 204 of the GCL, in order to avoid
any uncertainty related to the Common Stock; and
WHEREAS,
any claim that any of the potentially defective corporate acts or putative stock referenced herein being ratified under Section
204 of the GCL is void or voidable due to the identified potential failure of authorization, or that the Delaware Court of Chancery
should declare in its discretion that the ratification thereof in accordance with Section 204 of the GCL not be effective or be
effective only on certain conditions, must be brought within 120 days from the relevant validation effective time;
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that (i) issuance and sale of shares of the Common Stock in connection with the Financings in excess
of the number of shares of Common Stock authorized prior to the filing of the Amendments and (ii) the filing and effectiveness
of each of the Amendments, are the potentially defective corporate acts to be ratified by the Ratification;
RESOLVED,
FURTHER, that the date and time of the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of the shares of Common Stock authorized prior
to the Amendments are set forth on
Schedule I
attached hereto;
RESOLVED,
FURTHER, that the time of the filing and effectiveness of the Fifth Amendment was December 8, 2014, the time of the filing and
effectiveness of the Sixth Amendment was April 30, 2015, the time of the filing and effectiveness of the Seventh Amendment was
February 25, 2016, the time of the filing and effectiveness of the Eight Amendment was June 27, 2016;
RESOLVED,
FURTHER, that the issuance and sale of shares of the Common Stock in connection with the Financings involved the issuance of 23,989,802
(the number of shares of Common Stock is adjusted for the Reverse Split) shares of Common Stock in excess of the number of shares
of Common Stock authorized prior to the Amendments, which shares are potentially putative stock;
RESOLVED,
FURTHER, that the Board hereby identifies the following as failures of authorization in respect of the Amendments: (i) the approval
of the Amendments by written consent of the stockholders pursuant to Section 228 of the GCL in contravention of the Certificate
of Incorporation which prohibits the stockholders of the Corporation from acting by written consent, and (ii) the approval of
such Amendments solely by the holders of the Series I Preferred Stock without a vote of the holders of the Common Stock as required
by Section 242 of the GCL;
RESOLVED,
FURTHER, that the Board hereby identifies the following as failures of authorization in respect of the Financings: (i) the approval
of such Amendments by written consent of the stockholders pursuant to Section 228 of the GCL in contravention of the Certificate
of Incorporation which prohibits the stockholders of the Corporation from acting by written consent, (ii) the approval of the
Amendments solely by the holders of the Series I Preferred Stock without a vote of the holders of the Common Stock as required
by Section 242 of the GCL and (iii) the issuance of 23,989,802 shares of Common Stock in excess of the number of shares of Common
Stock authorized prior to the Amendments;
RESOLVED,
FURTHER, that, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 204 of the GCL, the Ratification be, and hereby is, approved, adopted
and confirmed in all respects;
RESOLVED,
FURTHER, that these resolutions authorizing the Ratification shall be submitted to the stockholders of the Corporation entitled

the Corporation, to deliver a notice of Ratification in the form and containing the information required by Section 204 of the
GCL and, if the resolutions authorizing the Ratification are adopted at a meeting of the shareholders, the sections of the GCL
related thereto;
RESOLVED,
FURTHER, that, subject to the adoption of the resolutions authorizing the Ratification by the stockholders, the officers of the
Corporation be, and each hereby is, authorized, empowered and directed, for an on behalf of the Corporation, to execute and file
or cause to be filed with the Secretary of State, a certificate of validation in respect of each of (i) the Fifth Amendment, (ii)

204 of the GCL;
RESOLVED,
FURTHER, that, any time before the validation effective time in respect of the ratification of defective corporate acts set forth
herein, the Board may abandon such ratification, as the case may be, before or after stockholder approval thereof, without further
action by the stockholders;
RESOLVED,

completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter
a “
proceeding
”)
by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of
the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service
with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter a “
Covered Person

whether the
basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or
agent, or in any
other capacity while serving as a
director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation
to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be

expenses conferred by this

by the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in law, or the adoption
of any other provision of this Certificate inconsistent with this
Section 8.2
will, unless otherwise required by law, be
prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification
rights on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and will not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or
protection existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision in respect of any act or
omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.
(d)
This
Section 8.2
shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted
by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons
other than Covered Persons, provided, however, that if the DGCL
requires or permits the payment of such expenses incurred by a Covered Person as set forth herein in advance of the final disposition
of a proceeding, such payment shall be made only upon delivery
to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of
such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director of officer

employees and
agents of the Corporation and such other persons serving at the request of the Corporation as officers, employees
